Literally everything in your comment is a lie.

Yes, because other people calling out weaksauce arguments on an Internet discussion board is exactly like *surreptitiously glances at phone* an angry vigilante mob attemping to murder you.
You’re not naive; you’re denying reality. “I can’t see the thing actually depicted in this photo happening! There must be a more innocent explanation!” Look, I get it: it’s upsetting to realize that there are people like this in the world, and worse, that they get away with being like this. You don’t fix that problem… Read more
Yeah, 100%. The reviews and the recurring columns are still great, but they can’t seem to report anything without building the entire article around a laboured, snarky take. Near as I can tell it’s largely not the same writers.
Another late comment congratulating you on the finesse of the late comment that no one will read.
Late comment that no one will read but was written for my own satisfaction.
To answer your question I do not know if it is referencing anything specific, however the whole article is a meta post. It’s just satire of how gaming articles are written now Kotaku and other gaming news sites, and the whole thing is pointing out some of the fallacies of modern blog “journalism”. Read more
I mean, I am, yeah, more than a little bit; but I’m also talking about Kotaku, and Slashfilm, and a half dozen other sites (including Mssr. Walker’s original site, RPS), and just overall ‘internet culture’ in general. Read more
Oh you were so close to nailing it. You unfortunately left out the parts where the advertisements where at: after paragraph one, video ad after paragraph two that scrolls with the page and won’t stop playing until you hit, ad number 3 follow by the picture and ads 4 and 5, second video ad after paragraph four, wait… Read more
Solid bit. Joking aside - I could really do with less of the ‘manufactured cynicism’ part of the structure. It manages to somehow feel both mean-spirited and manufactured at the same time, which isn’t typically the tone I’m looking for from my ‘enthusiast media’ coverage. Read more
I can sorta see multiple angles on this.
On the one hand, any artist forcefully rebutting why LGBTQ folk might see themselves in a TV-depicted relationship like the one between Bucky and Sam is going to reasonably get pushback. ESPECIALLY if you’re going to forcefully rebut an underdepicted minority group. And there’s… Read more
Uh sorry but Link is a trans guy and so I suspect he’d be pretty good at it. I will not be taking any further questions.
But with greater attention comes more idiots, and the Little Twitter Account That Could suddenly found itself being bombarded by criticism, snark and outright fury for having the temerity to be… wholesome?
John, I think you might be referring to my tweets here, and although I don’t believe that writers have some obligation to interview everyone they’re writing about, I do want to suggest that you could have opted, optionally, to look into your allegations of bad faith by asking. I wrote my own tweets snarking and while… Read more
Can you show any evidence that what this non-profit group is doing that causes queer POC harm? It sounds like you’re looking for something to be angry about but I’m open to hearing your argument. What is being done here that hurts queer POC? From your statement it seems that you’re upset that this group isn’t being… Read more
maybe queer POC are tired of the push to shove us underneath this giant pastel umbrella of “wholesomeness” Read more
Nope. People latched onto the worst possible read of it, and ran off the fucking cliff with it. Read more
I very clearly explained what I could only see as a willing and deliberate misinterpretation of their words. They wanted to ensure the games on display were representative and inclusive. Of course all the games would be “wholesome” - that would be the point. Read more
Not sure who you are referring to... But just in case... Super Best Friends broke up. Their channel has loads of LPs as well as podcasts. Read more
While not a Let’s Player, you may try Technology Connections. He goes into depth of tech and history of stuff you may never heard of (RCA’s Vinyl Video Record called CED), or stuff you never really put much thought into (like Traffic Lights).
