There is a very simple answer to this actually, Hamas are terrorists since their mission was not just to massacre women children and babies, violently rape them so hard that bones were broken, humiliate them, mutilate their bodies, and of course film the atrocities of that day. The IDF bombs Gaza targeting Hamas, while…

Imagine if after 9/11 people started gofundme’s for Al Qaeda, ridiculous.

Don’t forget continuing to hold hundreds of innocent Israeli civilians (including children) hostage.

“Hamas, an Islamic political and military organization governing the Gaza strip”

I have to concur - call a spade a fucking spade, Kotaku. I’m all here for supporting just causes to alleviate Palestinian civilians’ horrible situation - but never, ever qualify those who committed a callous massacre and publicized their own atrocities for major shock and horror value as a simple “political and…

Just a couple things- “Hamas, an Islamic political and military organization governing the Gaza strip”- this whole thing should be replaced with terrorist organization. In this sentence- “..attacked Israel on October 7, killing nearly 1,500 people” I’d expand and write “..attacked Israel on October 7, decapitating,…

I got to go to a Twitch party back in 2017 and saw firsthand the sadness of when these girls get their hooks into lonely and dumpy guys with a little bit of money. You’d see women that looked like Amouranth walking around mingling while her follower/paypig kept nearby to bring her more drinks. If I didn’t know where…

I actually came down to the comments thread to say something like this, or at least related to it. Just browsing Kotaku’s front page is like seeing how angry you should be about this and that. “People are arguing about Pokemon visuals.” “Critical Role essentially has the same cast it always does...” “The Inventory…

In the end...it really is just Dungeons and Dragons.  It has inspirations from other cultures...sure.  It also has dragons and talking robots and people who can shoot fire from their hands.  Why doesn’t the author make the same complaint of Wizards of the Coast themselves?

So....a solution? Sounds like you don’t want them to explore these cultural identifiers and the explorer-genre tropes. Should half the cast be fired and people you find “approved” be playing this game?

“This may seem like an overly cynical and bad-faith interpretation of what Critical Role is doing with this new campaign.”

Two strategies I have employed with moderate success:

Here’s my story. “hey we’re calling about you extended warranty”

I was thinking this.
I don’t see a major or even minor EU or North American city on the list. This headline could have easily been “living in an developing nation that pollutes like its 1977 LA is bad for your health.”

I prefer my driving *unfiltered* 

Correct headline: idling in traffic with your windows down in developing countries with minimal pollution controls increases your exposure to pollution (which may or may not be a meaningful increase that has health outcomes because we didn’t test that).

Ever read any of the novels that come from the Empire’s perspective, like Thrawn or Tarkin? They’re actually pretty good.
