Glad to see that you are an intelligent person capable of having a real discussion and don’t immediately jump to insults.

People who join these mob justice harassment campaigns get a certain glee from hurting others, as long as they get to decide (arbitrarily) that those people DESERVE to get hurt, and therefore it’s ok. Sounds like bullying behavior to me.

So are death threats, rape threats, mob harassment campaigns by upwards of thousands of people just a “negative consequence”? Or is it because somebody said something you disagree with, they are BAD, and bad people need to get punished?

Because they are celebrities, they get harassed in a very particular way. If random Joe Republican says something stupid on Facebook and gets fired for it, at most like, a couple dozen people might care. If a celebrity says something stupid, upwards of THOUSANDS of people descend upon them with death threats,…

“People can’t be cancelled!”

The algorithm works by measuring the distance between pixels and finding patterns in the dataset of those distances.

When human beings look at art, they do not reproduce it. They create memories. Memories do not adhere to copyright. Do you know what does? Digital reproductions. Meaning the artwork the models use has to come from SOMEWHERE, and it has to be digitally reproduced to be used. You know you can’t just take a picture off…

So MST3K had to either use public domain films or license them.  Which was my point exactly.

Please point out to me at any one point this man has demonstrated intelligence. His schtick is being hot and being loud. To think that anyone views him as a legitimate political commentator is a laughable conceit.

Right? I almost feel like male body image perception is worse than for women right now. The unhealthily thin runway models aren’t really in vogue anymore.

That’s great for him, but he’s still being dishonest. In the amount of time he had, it was far too drastic of a change to be completely natural. It messes up everyone’s perceptions of what is achievable. The only actor I think was honest was Rob McElhenny.

It isn’t? After all, we are talking about a world where migration is not possible leading to a racially homogenized society. People criticize it as unrealistic. I point out a real world example of exactly that. It’s not relevant because it goes against your “regardless of the geopolitical world building in your…

Exactly. There’s a reason why MST3K had to use royalty free old movies. You can’t just post an entire movie and have you talk over it, that’s not transformative.

Imagine what all that could have done for an abuse victim that wasn’t already a multi-millionaire. The fact that the person you are gifting to has MULTIPLE assistants indicates that they don’t need that money.

And this is not a historical game. The region depicted in the game IS isolationist and cut off from the rest of the world. Kinda like hm… oh right, Edo Japan, the country where this game is made!

Ok. So if I make a game set in Edo Japan, then I have to include lots of black characters, right?

A depiction of hate crimes is not an endorsement of hate crimes. Depicting an isolationist, racially homogenous society is not an endorsement of such a thing. Taking quotes out of context and attempting to rile up a moral panic is unethical journalism. Finally, the existence of POC has already been confirmed in the…

What the heck are you talking about though? Trans women don’t use tampons. Even if they have bottom surgery, they don’t have periods. It IS inappropriate to group them together. Period products are for people who menstruate, which includes cis women, trans men, and AFAB nonbinary people.

I just want to acknowledge and appreciate that Kotaku took the feedback to heart and corrected the article to remove the stereotypical language. Thank you guys!

It is not derogatory in and of itself, but can be used in such a way. The writers definitions are incorrect and reflective of harmful stereotyping. Many people in the gay community out down twinks and feminine men for not being masculine enough (“no gems”)
