I did no bad thing, so I don’t need anything from you. I definitely won’t look to someone who condones harassment to be any sort of arbtier on what is good or bad.

If you people are so selfish as to prioritize a game over actual humans, then why fight it? Why get so defensive? You already don’t care. Just embrace it!

Speaking in Twitter buzzwords that mean nothing is a neat personality trait and really helps the cause you pretend to be a champion of.

The harassment was uncalled for, and was absolutely the wrong tactic.

I was more curious about what this Twitch Deepfake Porn Scandal was about since I didn’t know there was a scandal. Instead it starts off on the assumption that I, the reader, knows who this streamer is. At the very least, it should be able to pin down what responsibility Twitch has in all of this, since their name is…

Every time someone has used those options the hate spewing people get around it. For girlfriendplays they set it to subs, those people BOUGHT SUBS just to continue berating someone they don’t personally know, and have never met.

It isn't black and white and someone else's refusal to see that isn't my fault. 

Then finally get off the internet and stop buying smartphones with cobalt, mined by children in africa, if you care that much about other „fellow humans“ and make sure you never buy clothing again because sweatshops are still a thing.

interesting because I have a source with direct experience from Avalanche Studios themselves that says they do get paid bonuses. Not only that, but this is quite standard in AAA games. Why is everyone being so disingenuous about this? It’s not exactly new. 

Thank you

Dude, you’re such an asshole, you make me want to run out and buy a copy right now. I won’t even open it. Buying it would make me feel disgusting because I despise the creator’s views on trans people, but you’re such an incredible bag of dicks with the way you treat your fellow human, it would almost be worth it to me…

As someone that actually has a trans family member here (who bought the game), that I love deeply, thanks for having such a rational take. People want to throw all reason and nuance out the window with these topics and they become so detrimental to the very movement they are trying to champion without even realizing…

Gotta get those clicks.  

...indulgences? They’re not trying to buy their way into heaven bro, and raising money for trans rights groups is generally pretty rad since that like, actually goes directly towards helping trans folks - either through broader pushes for improved and more inclusive policies to providing financial assistance to house…

Rofl, I bought the game? That’s news to me.

That’s some mental gymnastics that takes you from people playing a game based on an IP by someone who has expressed TERF views to them endorsing murder of trans people.

Then you’re a sociopath, Girlfriend Games is incredibly wholesome and they were actively donating to The Trevor Project while streaming, the psychos that hijacked their streams and brought a woman to tears through bullying aren’t allies of anything or anyone, they’re using trans suffering as an excuse to be shit…

That’s a pretty myopic view of how game development works. If a developer makes a commercially successful game, that increases their leverage when negotiating for new projects and higher budgets. That means more job opportunities, more bonuses, more raises and more promotions. If a game is a commercial failure, its…

People can protest however they want. I’m not judging anyone for boycotting or telling them there are better ways to protest. I’m giving a perspective and trying to raise a level of understanding.

*sigh* posting this is a mistake, because everyone on Kotaku is biased... Case in point the attitude of this opinion piece in the first place but.... What did all of you legitimately expect?
