Okay, but this is just more corporate speak without any merits. The whole “free speech is important, but we also feel like using our platforms is inappropriate!” really comes down to “Don’t cost us any fuckin’ money, kid. Please make your protest convenient to us.”

Man, there’s a bunch of dipshits in the comments essentially all crying “I don’t like protests when they’re inconvenient!”

Announcing that they’re revoking Blitzchung’s suspension would be a good start towards showing actual remorse.

Fun fact: nobody has been fired, we’re all still here and still doin’ our thing.

This is good and now I hope Deadspin never covers sports again.
And if Jimbo gives you any trouble about Trump, explain that you’re dunking on him, and dunking is sports. 

Man, I love people who self-own through being hilariously inept. You know, pumpkin thieves, thin-skinned vulture capitalist owners of blog sites, those kinds of folks.

Much like Lauren isn’t saying that the Broncos are trying to kill Joe Flacco, I’m not suggesting that emailing g-omediafeedback@googlegroups.com with complaints about the current media strategy will send it to the chucklefucks responsible for making these decisions.

Listen, I agree with the sentiment, but why do folks think the G/O dickwads are reading the comments at all? I’m hard pressed to believe they have even visited Deadspin, based on the ridiculous staff requirements that were leaked...

I don’t even have to see the autoplay videos because I’ve fixed my browser. But I just locked my work computer and a notification is on the screensaver about the thing playing, with an option to pause.

Deadspin’s bosses, turn this ridiculous shit off, it’s not making you money and it’s pissing off all your readers…

lol looks at game with overtly political themes and iconography and says “There’s nothing to see here.”

I’m somewhat sympathetic to the notion that not all games need to be given deep examination with a harsh, political lens. Like, if its Super Mario Bros, yeah, you might be going a bit too far by comparing it to class warfare or something.

It’s only a “shockingly bold move for that part of the world” if you don’t know anything about the gender-equal Kurds and their robust use of women fighters and women-led brigades. We have no idea whether she’s “quite an extraordinary woman” or if this is just a society like the real-world one they very obviously drew…

I fully realized this was a Call of Duty game when, after the mentioned London shootout, one of the main characters looked directly into the camera and said “if only our hands weren’t tied by politics, laws, or rules and could deal with these threats the way they need.”

When you make a game that is trying to make a statement by having a suicide bombing as your first sequence, you make your reviews into this.

If it’s aiming for the realism of war, the part where you abandon the rebels to be ethnically cleansed should be interesting.

Judging by those pictures I’d like to think of him still in character as Michael from The Good Place, getting all excited to experience getting arrested.

I still can’t believe the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl is going to happen

I like how 1-800-AAA-HELP looks a phone number turned into panicked scream.

My personal favorite, from back when all this naming-rights foolishness started, was the Poulan Weed-Eater Independence Bowl

So this was fake, but the Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl and the Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl were legitimate? What a time to be alive...
