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.”

Do these kinds of movies even need/warrant a review? If the trailers made you wanna see it, you’re gonna see it. Let’s face it. At some point—tomorrow, next week, ten years from now—we’re all going to watch Moonfall.

I get that, which is why I said to use their Twitch handle at the start to provide context, and then use their legal name in the remainder of the article.

There’s a difference between using someone’s name that confirms their gender identity and a non-existent ice god of the sea. 

I wish there was some third option here in which the scammer didn’t RECEIVE any money, but his idiot fans somehow still LOSE that money. Everybody sucks here.

Can we settle on a style guide standard whereby we never call these stupid influencers by their handles after the initial introduction? Writing an entire article about the beef between “Ice Poseidon” and “Coffeezilla” and continuing to use those absurd names throughout, just proves that we’re truly in the dumbest…

This guy is scum but I can’t say I really feel all that bad for anyone who would call themselves a “fan” of his. I’ve followed content creators for years and none of them turned out to be cretins, it’s really not that difficult.

He looked like a total badass. The control of his weapon points to adequate training. Glad he’s armed and spraying our highways for justice.

We gamers can be so ridiculous. In the absence of news, we seem to decide that there has to be something and then start making things up out of whole cloth and then get disappointed (at best) or even angry (at worst) when the stuff we made up in our heads turns out to be wrong. I include myself in this because I’ve…

Okay, but why?

Don’t forget ‘Soulslike’

Its laughable to believe Microsoft wants anything to do with Bobby Kotick or honestly the vast majority of staff at Activision.

Sounds like pink cloud deniers would be easier to deal with. Just wait for them to go outside and watch them die. Our deniers catch the pink cloud and spread it around until we get more shades of pink cloud.

One of the best parts about the DS1-3 player creator though is that no matter how hard you tried, what you made was so horrific you didn’t mind slapping a full-coverage helmet over top of it

Sadly, google imaging “hell cake” wasn’t all that exciting. This was about the best I found:

THANK YOU ! like my god, it’s just a damn videogame. i understand that it’s broken, we’ve written tons of reports about a lot of that. just look at the link overload in the last graf or just about anything battlefield 2042 related on kotaku dot com and folks will recognize that we’re aware of how broken it is. but a)…

I’m sorry but an incomplete or broken game does not justify any toxicity. Period. If you think it does, you need to grow up or take a break from a hobby which is clearly not actually bringing you happiness.

It’s also possible that most people don’t know or care enough about those controversies to affect their willingness to see the movie.

I’m just blown away that, not even a year later, a significant portion of Americans can say, “I voted for Biden last time, but Covid’s not over yet, and Biden is having trouble getting his agenda through an evenly divided senate, so I’ll probably vote for Republicans in 2022. They’ll be the ones to pass universal…
