Love it when people who aren’t a part of a marginalized community tell that community how they should be reported on, or what the future should look like for that community. People in here saying Kotaku shouldn’t mention Amy being trans, or that it should be a “footnote”. That’s pretty much the same as saying “not…

Given her own statement that appearing on the show could “let her send ‘a positive message to the nerdy trans girl who wants to be on the show too.’” I think she’d be pretty happy Kotaku was highlighting her trans status in this situation. 

Acknowledging her trans identity is worlds different from harassing her for it.

Narrator: Sassy After Death wasn’t wrong.

Mr. McFeely casts "Speedy Delivery". Pay attention to the long attack animation to learn how crayons are made 😆

Did you just try to say, "a capitalist corporation is the same as socialism"? Wow, congrats on this week's thinnest argument award.

For some, literally anything to the left of unchecked capitalism is “socialism.”

It’s hilarious that you needed to bring “socialism” into this when:

The 3rd pic is not Paul Atreidies, it’s Feyd Ruatha who fought a gladiator bout with a Black knife and a White knife (with the poison switched).  I only know this because I just re-read the novel for the first time in over a decade.  It holds up a lot better than some other older works.

I hear Cindy Lauper will release a single to promote the movie called “The Dunies r’ Good Enough.”

Yes - it is happening here. Which my mother with uterine cancer who is having an emergency surgery rescheduled can attest to.

A hearty group of Vikings in the great lakes area. You have 91 reported cases so far - we are blessed [cough] to have more than 13 times that many in Washington (a couple weeks ahead of you), and they are already rationing care here (and in NY) - which is code for choosing who will die.

What is your location where they are doing “fine”? I can tell you that Evergreen Medical Center in Kirkland, Washington (1.5 m from my home) is not “doing fine” today and are, reportedly, very concerned about tomorrow.

it can be helpful to ease congestion by turning off or lowering the quality of superfluous data streams and videos.

“Yes...yes, Pestilence has done her job well...”

How many dead people is that worth?

A state of emergency has been issued by the Governor. ECCC is offering refunds to people who don’t want to risk going. I’m kind of wondering if they will cancel outright if enough exhibitors/publishers/guests pull out.

The thing is, even if you go as a creator and take precautions, you’re only as safe as the least cautious person on the floor. People who take care of themselves are still liable to get sick because some fucko who is being careless decided to go into ECCC and touch stuff. It’s a highly contagious strain and that…

At this point, I’ve had to cancel my flight to Seattle out of precaution. I’m kind of hoping they cancel the show altogether and give me my money back so I can plan to go next year.
