Yeah, I’m a bit on the fence about this myself. On one hand, it’s not even really funny, and is really obnoxious. On the other hand, I hate how studios have been trying to bend over backwards for China, and trying to appease the Chinese government as much as possible. I kinda wonder if this was Anderson’s way of…

Riiight but I didn’t say that. I said the playground rhyme was racist, but what was said in the video seems less racist and more idiotic unless you add some deep layers of context that I’m just not seeing here. There’s a racial component to the joke in the video, but it doesn’t appear to be malicious, just stupid.

there are puns... and then there are really bad puns.

I don’t... Get it? Like the stupid joke I get that, just the reaction. Your description makes it seem like this joke is being tied back to another racist joke I’ve never heard of, and then it’s being tied to yet another idiom I’ve never heard of... Also, is the actor that said it Chinese? If not, what is the joke? I…

I’m Chinese myself, and... yeah, it’s kind of obnoxious, but I’m also kind of numb to China pitching a bitch about everything. This seems like a really petty thing comparatively.

If I paid to access this website that might be a more apt comparison...

I honestly couldn’t tell the difference between the UFC gif. and the normal adds on this site.

I’ll be honest, I fucking love my subreddits.  I stay away from the main page stuff, but their communities for certain things are really useful.

Reddit’s collective “durh EA bad” default mindset obviously contributed there

They don't give a fuck about your $60. With all the ads these fucking games have they should be giving the software away for free. 

Can’t they just be happy that people payed $60 for a game with roster updates?

I heartily disagree. Unity had a rough launch but it still stands as the ultimate AC game. It is the only one that actually delivered on the series promise. Crowds large enough for social stealth to be believable. Fun, fluid, pretty parkour. Enemies that were difficult enough you were forced to be stealthy. A massive,…

Origins and Odyssey are amazing RPGs, but bad Assassin’s Creed games. The first time I perched on top of a base and studied the enemy patrols for my ideal take-down route, and dropped down on the first guy.....only to have him take like half damage or whatever, and alert the entire base, I knew this was no longer…

I may be conditioned by longtime AV Club commenting, but there’s now way the most frequently asked question isn’t,
“Where’s Firefly?”

Maybe they’ll have a clearance bundle where you can buy a video game and it comes with a free gun.

Or brave enough to remove the guns themselves.

The Republicans will use ANYTHING they can to deflect blame from the fact that they have been sticking their toes in the waters of racism since Nixon, and stoking the flames of hate and violence the whole time. They refuse to do anything sensible about gun violence. They refuse to address their racist base of violent…

I’ve liked the 4 button layout a lot. Plus it’s used as a stand-alone controller, which would be blah if it was a D-Pad.

I’m always surprised people feel this way. I grew up on Nintendo D-Pads so I’m certainly used to them, and I still think that the four-button layout of the Switch is superior. I accidentally input the wrong direction quite frequently with a true D-Pad, pushing on the “right” direction but tilting it “up” on accident.…

We’ve been very careful over the past few years to regard all of these studies with skepticism — you’d be hardpressed to find a recent Kotaku article that just echoes any, either good or bad, without any additional investigation or context.
