I don't think anyone thought it would be "good" per se. They just didn't think it would be this bad. 

“Credible” is in quotation marks because it is a quote. It’s a basic tenet of responsible reporting - a news organization reporting on breaking news cannot be the arbiter of truth, they can merely report on facts. In this case, they cannot determine the validity of the claim that it was “credible” but they can report…

Good god, Unity’s fucking up but ffs death threats are not the answer.  Just stop using their engine.

Something something, late stage capitalism.

It’s unsurprising that all of this is happening 3 years after Unity had an IPO and just 1 year after they took major investment from venture capital and private equity. This is classic short-term profit boosting at the expense of long-term brand value. It’s also predatory rent seeking behavior from a company looking…

Gunn had nothing to do with any of that.

A failing of humanity writ large is overvaluing the personal/anecdotal evidence over mountains of evidence in the opposite direction. Unless you believe somebody was wrongly convicted, arguing for leniency on their behalf is more or less just saying “my experiences with that person weren’t where he raped anybody I…

“If I had a family member or close friend that was convicted of a crime, even a particularly disgusting one such as rape, it would be pretty hard to refuse a request to write about any redeeming values that might lighten the sentence. It would be akin to disowning them entirely.”
I don’t know if you’re a serial troll…

Yeah it’s a complex situation. I tend to think that we should just respect Priscilla’s experience, ironically it can be traumatizing in itself to have people project victim status onto you and rewrite what you feel is your truth. We should support people who are expressing that they were victimized or who are…

I feel like they learned the wrong lesson from this.

You know she didn’t actually write her SNL lines, right?

I’m just glad we didn’t let Helen Baxendale live her life without experiencing a public piling on about a 25-year-old performance. 

High school and college aged people? Lots of cross-over.

Did she hurt you?

and this only reads as a lower-effort version of what Larian just did.

But this very article says Bethesda has a history doing this, so makes sense they’d do it again with their new game right? I get the hate train is strong right now, but let’s be at least rational with our criticisms.

Legend has it you’re still in the theater watching it to this day

“A view that you don’t share with Nick” is such a disingenuous way to put it that it’s borderline insane. Promoting fascist shit goes beyond “views I don’t agree with”.

no, implying that gay people are pedophiles, which is what nickthamerc did, will get your character removed.

When she’s not busy defending child rapists or drumming up social media beef for free viral publicity?  Sure... Maybe?
