I just hope that the Democrats will scream I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO and shut that shit down instead of also flip-flopping and enjoying the fallout.

They’re just doing what they’ve always done. I’m sure if they released all sorts of juicy insider stuff on the Republican party that everybody on Gawker would love them.

I tend to dislike the practice the vast majority of the time, seems like a real cheap way of trying to pull in fans of a different genre. The guest verse is also usually totally random and has nothing to do with the song anyway, just messes with the whole thing.

It’d be like if they tried to get me to listen to Drake…

It seems to me as if he’s just stating the facts of the incident, the apology looks pretty sincere to me as he’s criticizing his own actions.

This isn’t the hill to die on. Outrage culture is terrible but this guy is a public figure suffering professional consequences for acting inappropriate while doing his job.

If only our political candidates’ sponsors believed the same.

There’s a lot of dumb bullshit that PC stuff drives people to do (like the recent Ken Bone dogpiling, which I’m glad even the Gizmodo commenters called out as ridiculous bullying) but this isn’t one of them. He was wrong and he was punished, claiming that PC ruined things here just gives outrage seekers more excuses…

People don’t react well to being morally judged for their hobbies. I think what really sets off these antagonistic feuds so often is the way the ‘feminist’ side approaches it. It’s never really a discussion, someone has come in to the hobby with a /cause/ and has declared it wrong. I rarely see, ‘Is x and x wrong? Is…

The common reason I hear for it’s popularity these days is that the industry pretty much lives entirely on blu-ray sales and they’re marketing directly toward the sort of people who are most likely to buy said blu-rays obsessively.

The internet as a culture when it comes to assholes is something that a poster the other week referred to as ‘desperate to offend’. When you want to be a jerk on the internet, when you want to intimidate or bully them, you can’t really get in someone else’s face, or key their car, or spit on them or what have you. You…

I keep wanting to tell these people that it’s ok to enjoy things that are problematic

The moment I watch a show and the protagonist is a self-described ‘pervert’, someone who is really pathetically sexual all the time and goes around harassing women and this is played as just a ‘boys will be boys’ joke, I just drop the whole thing.

This is the latest thing I heard about that:

What’s so awful about it? I’ve had to use it on and off for a year since I’ve gone from playing zero Ubisoft games to playing a bunch of them and it’s exactly like Steam. You launch the app, you hit play, you’re in the game. I don’t see the huge difference here.

Goddamnit, Kotaku. You were doing so well! Are we going back to, ‘That <game/anime> you like is <racist/sexist>‘ articles all the time for the clicks?

I really have to wonder what, exactly, he’d have to do to sink in the polls. Is it really just killing someone? Would they just spin it as self defense unless it was all on video? Child pornography? Endorsing Hillary Clinton?

Maybe some WoW: Legion. Release schedule looks pretty dead for me this month, though November looks pretty interesting. Excited for the new Pokemon and Dishonored 2.

I suppose I’m still due to head on back to Fallout 4 and check out the vault-tec and Nuka World mods, but I stopped playing months ago because I had a…

 I think I agree with wolf’s point and while I see yours, I think the bigotry is a symptom rather than the root of the issue. These are dumbass kids who will just look at someone and use the crassest, harshest way to put someone down that they can. Racial slurs are a mere tool in the asshole box. Let them know you’re…

Hey, I’m all for banning these guys as much as possible, but I see the OP’s point. It’s good what they’re trying to do here and I HOPE it works, but there’s just this tidal wave of attention-seeking teens that just figured out you can really make people angry by using a racial slur and need to let everybody know it.…

He probably forgot that grave dancing is only apporopriate if you vote Democrat. I still get tears when I remember the heartfelt eulogies I saw here when Scalia and Nancy Reagan died.
