"Andrew Jackson, in the foyer of his White House, had a big block of cheese. The block of cheese was huge - over two tons. And it was there for any and all who might be hungry. Jackson wanted the White House to belong to the people, so from time to time, he opened his doors to those who wished an audience. It is in…

Wouldn't it be annoying if, after you said that, a game journalist you weren't directly speaking to jumped in to say, "I don't broadly insult people in the name of justice. I never ignored these outspoken non-offenders. I never called them misogynist pigs."?

Because whether that's true or not, it would kind of not be…

It's about how we have serious issues with sexism and misogyny in games, but the only person willing to talk about them regularly makes mistakes or outright wrong statements when she tries to bring them up, which makes some people think "oh my god, she's lying to further her cause." I don't think she's lying - she's…

Part of diversity is listening to viewpoints other than your own. One of the big points I have taken from #GamerGate is that many gamers are feeling marginalized because our viewpoints aren't "cool." If I dare to say that I care about good games with good story and can't care less if they feature women/gays/other…

It's less common than the big three (pork, beef, and chicken), but it's not unheard of. The big three are mass marketable and are raised in much larger quantities, so they effectively flood the market and make consumption of other meats less common. Often, alternate meat options are marked up in price, since devoting…

Five Guys checking in. Here's an idea, stop promoting talentless, narcissistic, douche-weasels like Anita "Koch" Sarkeesian and Phil "Prison" Fish who whine, bitch, deceive, inveigle, and obfuscate their way to notoriety.

I wish this was the equality people were talking about instead of demonizing games catered towards males.

I agree. I just wish people would stop posting that 'as a female i wouldn't possibly like 'insert rpg name' because of their portrayal of women. Despite the fact I really enjoy their portrayal of men. It really does work both ways and yet every day, as a woman, I'm apparently offended by a multitude of things I…

Wow. So all those countless, nameless virtual male corpses left in gamers' wakes is somehow less important..... Because TEH WOMYNZ?!

Discussing those is ultimately in everyone's interest.

I'm so sick of these bullshit war on women articles. Seriously, this is why I hate feminism.

I'm a woman and I've watched this chick's videos before. She is just really ignorant. She probably has never even played a video game and just watches videos of them, because if she really played many games, she would find there are tons of strong women in games dating back to the SNES era.. Some might be…

its a shame he lies about stuff in her videos and so people who don't know better take it as fact. Then when she has a LEGITMATE issue to talk about people look back at her bullshit and second guess her.

Can you seriously stop with this war on women bullshit? Jesus fuck Kotaku its people like you and Zoe Quinn that keep raising these issues up all the damn time. There is no war on women in video games. Anita is a fucking idiot and a hack and you people know it, so seriously on behalf of the internet, just stop.

Of course that's why.

Good onya, Josh! We need more articles like this! Great read. :)

So Stephen Totilo has come out and pretty much confirmed that Zoe Quinn and Nathan Grayson have been "in a relationship," but he refuses to acknowledge that this has had any influence on Kotaku's coverage of her, even though Totilo tried to assist them in covering it up. The fact that they kept it secret pretty…

It's an issue with journalism. Journalists are supposed to be impartial, unbiased sources of information. Sleeping with someone you're reporting about is absolutely going to alter how you cover any news related to them.

It's a stillborn idea that was born from a boardroom instead from engineers that know how the Internet works. Latency issues (especially in the west), absurd pricing and turning products into services killed this before it even left the whiteboard.
