When the legal system can't assure you of justice, as a person and not a governing entity, vigilante action makes perfect sense.

The SC also explicitly condemned the testimonies from other victims. Apparently, no avenue of action other than a confession from Cosby would have been permissible. 

One is an act of nature, the other a corruption by man though. 

I know it’s legal jargon, but them talking about ‘fundamental fairness’ here is freaking hilarious...

Lol

I’ve been waiting for this post. For multiple reasons, Kotaku had stopped being the vibrant place it had been for me earlier. But seeing you come back and take the helm is massively encouraging.

I disagree with your disagreement. But the topic in question is both broad and extensively covered, so knowing where the intersections of agreement and disagreement are would require a lot more talking. 

This is a great and thoughtful comment. 

A correction: you’re talking about transwomen, not transmen. As in, gendered as and usually biologically male who identify and adopt a female gender, and who might undergo hormone therapy.

Hey look, another thing we agree on. 

Seriously, how do you not see you're doing exactly what you're accusing everyone else of?! 

Fiscal conservatism is just a fancy way of saying economic oppression. 

The funny thing is that I’ve faced plenty vitriol from commenters here...and by and large those have been from raging bigots a.k.a the right.

Kotaku knows you are the majority. How do they pretend you do not exist? 

Neoliberalism is socialism? What? Any one who said that and also considered themselves 'very left' is a very confused person. 

How do you not realize your arguments support what Patricia is criticizing? 

Funnily enough I agree to an extent with both of those statements, certainly enough to be ‘canceled’, but I don’t feel unwelcome here because of that. Because I'm not fundamentally opposed to trans rights or women streaming, which MANY are. That defensiveness you're displaying, the insecurity about being baited into…

This is simply not true. I have disagreed on multiple issues with other leftists or liberals without being castigated or treated as an outcast. Are there reductive extremists in the comments? Yes. On both sides, as trite as that phrase is now. But that does not reflect on the totality of the experience.

Spoken like a centrist all right. Triangulation is always the way.

No. That activist tone is what meaningfully separates Kotaku from other video gaming outlets.
