you’re a dying breed my dude. if i don’t have a few people to play with, i don’t know that i could sit through a brawler by myself any more. My taste has changed as i became an older guy with kids.

To be fair, pornstars have gotten a lot of people through hard times.

And that’s the issue as well, why are white “advocates” so dead set on telling women, and POC how they should feel about things? It’s replacing one sort of patronization with another.

What happened to ASKING people how they felt about things? Or coming at things from the position of “I’m not fond of this, here’s why,…

I completely agree with you to a large degree. The gaming, and nerd sphere period, needs to get its shit in order, and properly reward folks for their hard work, ethics, and skill regardless of gender, orientation, or race.

I *DO* however think that the movement is being co-opted by some really shitty people using it…

Wow. Like I said, you can debate that one form of racism is more acceptable if you want, but you’re still debating racism vs racism. Which is clearly all you’re going to do here. Boil it all down to what racism is, and this is racism. Apparently you don’t think it’s possible to be racist against white people because…

So, it’s eye for an eye? White people have been “in power” (however that’s defined, not arguing, just has a lot of definitions) for X amount of years, so now it’s acceptable for them to be culturally ignored (e.g. CANCELWHITEPEOPLE, “I’ll never read another book by a white man”) for X amount of years?

As a person of color, I absolutely HATE this rhetoric. “Punching Up” is a useful mechanism for addressing social inequalities, but nobody talks about the importance of those punches being aimed to actually ADDRESS social inequalities. An easy example is her tweet about Breaking Bad. Claims could be made that she was…

Except his comment was insulting. You are choosing to ignore that detail. He didn’t “offer an idea”. He said she was wrong and told her how he would handle it. That insulted her.

This is the most dead-on take. The same people complaining about this firing actively cheer and propagate an atmosphere in which this precise type of firing is commonplace. In other words, they approve of the tactic, they just don’t like seeing it applied to people whose views they agree with. We should all be against…

Really Cecilia? That is your argument? Trivializing and ignoring reality? Very, very mature.

Did you really reply to a genuine comment with this? Holy fuck have a conversation. Tell this person your opinion and why you think they are wrong. What in the actual fuck does making a joke do? It makes this the impact of this article so much less.

Get the fuck outta here with your facts and your logical discourse.

When you can’t be right, may as well be condescending.

I will always be mystified by the notion that a game is failing in some regard if it isn’t designed in a way that is appealing to everyone possible. Be it being extremely difficult or having a sexual content, some games just want to go for a certain direction. There isn’t really anything wrong with that.

nooooo Kotaku would never use skimpy dressed cosplayers to get clicks! Say it isn’t so!

It’s probably rude to attribute motive just because you disagree with his decisions.

Well, they’re not the only ones to use scantily clad women to attract interest.

I was watching that episode last night, before I went to bed.

The first thing I saw when I woke up was the news of his death. I started crying immediately. I’ve been gutted all day long. I’ve never felt like this after a celebrity death.

Careful. Nathan will hear you! If you don’t agree with him, he’s just going to keep rewriting this article every day. Apparently.

Almost no one. For years and year writers have been complaining about it and I have never talked to any regular Joe that uses it the way these writers do.
