hasn't anyone in this room fucking heard of Google before

Why does hypothetical you (a/k/a Couric) need to know what recovery from a surgery you're never going to undergo felt like? What is the point of the question other than sensationalism? Surgeries are painful. Use your freaking noodle to suss that one out on your own, and move on to a topic that might actually affect…

When it comes to trans people's crotches... if you need to ask, then you don't need to know.

oh stop being a peepee pants, if you played the game you'd understand the disappointment

Right, because who would want people to actually start using Wonder Trade to benefit others? What's the fun in making it fun?

noooooo, aww, that sucks...

I've sent out 1 shiny charmander into wonder trade, because I wanted to actually do something good with it as I was just about to restart my game for a nuzlocke. Got a fletchling named wiener in return.

Looking for objectivity in a review of media is a fool's errand. Making sure there aren't things like bribes etc (gamespot Kane&Lynch fiasco) going on is important but it is impossible to ignore past experiences with a franchise as big as Pokemon. This is like saying someone shouldn't review King of Limbs because they…

Isn't that kinda the point? the designs to be ridiculous? That's how I would have gone about it. Nothing says boring than an average design.

For some reason, there's a small number of people who get angry whenever Patricia Hernandez says anything.

At this point Pokémon games are like sports games. You don't want a neutral view, you want a fan perspective, because if you want to know if this a good videogame, then it's not for you. The question is if it's a good Pokémon game.

"Tumblr did it first!", "Reddit did it first!"

People like you are like MRAs. On every article about fat-shaming, somebody has to chime in with "But people are skinny-shamed too! Being fat isn't the only source of ridicule! Derailment Derailment Derailment". It's like how every article about women being raped is met with comments by MRAs "Men get raped too, you…

It's gender-specific, unfortunately.

This is an absolutely disgusting occurrence, and I wish this "comedian" the worst. I feel sorry for what Laura had to deal with. I'm really proud that she came out and put his name there for everyone to see. That's how this should be handled.

That aside, I have a little correction for Kotaku.

"Female" is a sex, not a…

I guess the difference here is they were at a console demonstration, not a comedy routine. There's certain expectations when you elect to go see a standup comedian. But when you're "tricked" (for lack of a better word) into seeing one those expectations are different. Some people may not like the insult comedy, and so…

Why the hell do people have to be such asshats? Not just in the video game industry (although quite a lot seem to congregate there) but anywhere? I just don't understand it.

Well... I kinda agree we should eradicate PETA...

"activists become associated with hostile militancy and unconventionality or eccentricity"

I think that people don't like to examine the broader impact of their actions because to do so would make them feel guilty. When presented with a person who is advocating for something they suck at themselves they're suddenly and inescapably faced with their own repressed guilt. The guilt makes them feel bad so they…
