Respectfully acknowledging that she is trans and using “Trans” as the primary word to describe her in every headline are also worlds apart.

Given her own statement that appearing on the show could “let her send ‘a positive message to the nerdy trans girl who wants to be on the show too.’” I think she’d be pretty happy Kotaku was highlighting her trans status in this situation. 

Acknowledging her trans identity is worlds different from harassing her for it.

the Ubisoft co-founder said the backlash to the Quartz announcement was expected, and likened it to initial public outcry over previous new developments in the games industry like DLC, microtransactions, and loot boxes.

Another useless Kotaku article. No information about the game, what platform its on, what it looks like in game, nothing.

The average american voter’s reaction to reason:

“and typically earn less than 1/3 of 1% of the CEO’s earnings”

Shut it down for a day, minimum. Two hours barely gets people talking.

It’s a protest action. People are drawn to notice an issue once it causes a disruption to a routine. It’s a similar principle behind protesting around an office building or on an interstate.

This is for anyone that is angrier about not being able to play a video game for 2 hours than they are about what is and has been going on in this country. That’s 2 hours they could use to stop and reflect and ask themselves that very question. 

“Oh, hey, that’s really impressive! I didn’t even know that the Game Boy had that technol—”

The police state killed another Black man and our president is on the side of the police and against any protest.

You can “OK Boomer” me all you want, but when I text a complete sentence, it will have have punctuation at the end. Often that’s a period. Of course, sometimes a text is just “No” or “OK”, which doesn’t need punctuation. I’m also weird in that generally I proofread texts before I send them. It used to be important to…

I have a coworker who in our team message client will never stop throwing in ellipses...
Like that...
sometimes he’ll complete sentences...
And you’d figure it would end with a period...
But... they never do...

And he’ll leave everything with an ellipses. It drives me fucking insane. I can’t describe the feeling it creates…

The message without any punctuation is neutral.

For me, the final nail in the coffin was when it became acceptable for literally to mean figuratively.

Vowels are for nerds /s

Let’s tackle people spelling “lose” as “loose” first.

and y’all thought dying on the “one or two spaces after a period” hill was important.

This is a brutal take.
