We really do live in a time of diminished personal accountability.  “I’m sorry that he got hurt.”  He didn’t “get” hurt.  YOU HURT HIM.  

The individuals the author references—Mila Pavlin, Emilia Schatz, Rebekah Valentine, as well as the aspiring-editor-in-chiefs Cecilia D’Anastasio and Ash Parrish—are all well-paid (some more than others, naturally).

Well that’s months of advance chess training done for nothing 

The word “phobia” actually refers to strong irrational fear and/or aversion. You can have a phobia without necessarily being afraid. “Irrational” is the most important word there.

phobia as in aversion too. Not necessarily afraid of. Hydrophobic material isn’t afraid of water. 

I may be over-attributing the bigotry of many to one person, but Persona 3, 4 and 5 were all directed by the Katsura Hashino, who also directed the egregiously transphobic Catherine. He’s still at Atlus, but directing games for a different team. I’m sort of hoping that with him out of the lead seat, these games could…

Phobia is not just “fear” in the traditional sense. Phobias are extreme and irrational aversions to something that are disproportionate to any actual threat the thing in question could pose.

One thing to realize that Persona 3-5 has you as a silent protagonist in the “They’re supposed to be a mirror for you” sort of way.

Well the Democratic party is not a left leaning organization, it’s a center right one so being left of them isn’t actually difficult outside of the US but yeah socially Japan is stuck way back in the past as far as any kind of minority rights

Glad to see this coming about. Now, I”m saying this as a first generation Japanese-American immigrant, who came to America as a young age but goes to Japan for work fairly regularly.

This site regularly criticizes C-suite executives of gaming companies, and this article is explicitly about female journalists and developers. That’s the text of this article. Representation in this context refers to the gaming news desks that cover games and the development teams whose labor produces the games we all…

Yep especially when competive non-physical sports use a much different way of looking for cheating compared to physical sports where you can go "oh yeah he touched the florbus with his dorbus. Red flag pe alty." The overeatch program for cs-go is an easy example. Skilled players rate the likelyhood that cheating is…

Yeah, I never understood why people were defending him. He’d already admitted to cheating multiple times before this. A known cheater was accused of cheating, he didn’t deserve any benefit of doubt.

Currently waiting for the comments section to fill with pro niemann propaganda like every other article does.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you don’t need to make an excuse to use anal beads.

I’d hate to see somebody make themselves into a Youtuber or chess champion because they don’t think they can just use anal beads because they like them.

The problem wasn’t just the cost of the Fatality.

Avi Arad, the producer, was one of the ones who signed this genocide propaganda letter:

Two words for major concern Avi Arad.

If you worked as a tradesman for example (e.g. electrician or plumber) and your employer brought you on board because Wal-Mart made a contract with your employer.
