I sincerely doubt that there was any ranch dressing in that kitchen to be had.

It's not censorship. This is the equivalent of not stocking a book in your bookstore because it advocates Nazi behaviour or something. It's their store, they can do what they want, it's not like the game is being pulled from the internet or actually censored at all.
There is no censorship involved here. No one is stopping people from developing Hatred, and nothing is stopping you from playing it if you really want to. You're just not going to be able to do it on Steam.
Steam is not the government, nor does it control all distribution channels for PC games. The creators of Hatred are free to continue developing their game, but Valve is under no obligation to carry it.
I love how she's got the crazed fan smile down, from years of observing it.
You'd ditch your best friend of years for a girl you've only known for 3 months? 90 days? Really?
Sounds pretty normal, to me. I'd put a best friend I've had for years before a relatively short-term relationship, any day. That's just how it works, in probably most cases.
Right? Some of these things make sense (ie. drink water at restaurants for health reasons and because beverages are over-priced) but some of this is just crazy (if you can't stand water, pony up for a goddamn drink then, DO NOT make lemonade at the table).
Oh my God, you sound like ten of my most annoying customers ever, all rolled into one.

ermm... all this talk about Katy Perry being "too told" to compare herself to Lolita is missing the point, right? I think the problem is and always will be Lolita is too young, especially to be invoked as sexy, thats kind of like the crux of the book
No games, no coverage. It's been months and GG has yet to produce a single published review that they can point to as proof of this alleged corruption they believe is consuming game journalism.
Can you really blame people for being upset that they were painted as "horrible human beings" because they support an innocuous cause?
Um, the damsel in distress is a "classic story" because it is archaic and based on sexist stereotypes that once were taken at face value, but now need to be questioned and transformed instead of continuously perpetuated. Which, incidentally, is exactly what Sarkeesian's point is. Funny how that works!
Why does someone have to make their own game to criticize the creative expression behind the use of certain tropes in games? I hear that argument a lot, but I don't think it is really a valid one. Nobody is going to force a developer from making games with damsels in distress. Nobody is going to force a developer from…
"Gamergate seems to have ratcheted up his obsession with [Sarkeesian]," said Alexander, who herself has been the target of Gamergate's ire as a result of a Gamasutra article she wrote that harshly criticized gaming's consumer culture. "Or with insisting games are for men."
Gamergate is many things, but innocuous is not one of them.
Didn't Kotaku already post an article about those accusations? Confirmation bias is a pain, isn't it?
