Yes! Money solves everything!
Capitalism has solved all social and cultural issues from racism, sexism, and poverty!
Marginalized voices have NO RIGHT to want ANYTHING!

Yeah, I agree. If you don't think sexism in gaming culture it's a big deal based on your very narrow personal experience, then it MUST not be a problem for any one else. Why can't we stop victimizing men!? Someone please think of the male gamers who are getting so hurt by this false characterization! I mean, the…

Hahaha so I'm pointing something out about women so I must be a woman, is that your logic here? Because men like me wouldn't have opinions on that? By that solid reasoning you're really a dude portraying himself as a woman to be a troll MRA. Which, unless you have pics to prove it, is the only explanation as to why…

No, women are not forced to play any game they don't like. When a brilliant, fun game which many consider to be the pinnacle of this generation of games is excluding and alienating almost half its potential audience in a such a vulgar way, though, we have a problem.

I'm so not a Kanye fan, but he really is kind of cute when he smiles. He usually comes across as such a miserable crank.

There's a link on that Kris Jenner article to a slideshow called "Chunky Ham Hocks: 10 Female Celebs with Cankles."

Kotaku is kind of like YouTube: Great content with a comment section marred by idiots shouting over the smart people.

How adding a female robber protagonist to GTA is orwellian push for control? Are u kidding? And to say that insults and rape or murder threats in games should stay as they are is beyond absurd. Some male or female users who were subjected to this kind of abuse during gaming coming forward and adressing this issue for…

So not only have you internalised misogyny but you're a Republican. I am shocked, shocked I say.

Because I absolutely do not believe her claims of being a developer. People lie on the internet, son, it's a thing. I do not have time for it.

This isn't a propaganda piece, nor is it socialism. This is an opinion piece on a videogame that the author thinks could use more female protagonists. Thats it. If thats socialistic propaganda I have been supporting the wrong system for years. No one is calling for the shuttering and destruction of Rockstar or GTA,…

Ah, so...you self taught yourself how to be a game developer, yet you're not a game developer. I see. But you could be one if you wanted to, amirite?! Psh.

I think everyone is really reaching. I guess if you can't read body language this could be a rapey picture. If I were the director of this shoot and I told them that I wanted a rape/struggle scene, and they gave me this I would fire them both.

I don't see a real comparison between the two. Here, I see a picture of two happy-looking adults engaging in what that appears to be consensual sex play. In the Blurred Lines video, women are prancing around naked while fully clothed men look on approvingly, dancing to extremely troublesome song lyrics. Oh, and…

When one attempts to discuss anything gender related on Kotaku, the commenting section instantaneously turns into a mess of horrible atrocities.

I completely agree with you. I'm 39 years old and I've never had any interest in the GTA games. My adult friends have no interest in the GTA games. The teenagers that I know, though, love them. I don't think there's anything wrong with having some juvenile fun once in a while, but I do think the GTA series gets way…

Fuck yeah your post. Every word.

I see "but we make fun of everyone!" tossed around a lot as an excuse, but that ignores the broader social context in which the parody is being presented.

There's an old Anatole France quote that's relevant:
"In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and…

So I'm just going to throw this out there.
