The problem is that there is no institution in place to keep a person accountable. Places like the NYT, WSJ, or LAT have long standing institutions in the form of ombudsmen, editorial boards, rules, disciplinary oversight. Oh and requirement’s that you receive a college education on topic.

A YouTuber thought he could go toe-to-toe with actual journalists for a newspaper that’s won 39 Pulitzer Prizes, and, surprise surprise, has egg on his face for not verifying everything that his sources told him.

I mean, it’s cool if you found a way to make money legitimately that isn’t traditional, and society definitely needs paid entertainers and artists and humorists, etc. But Christ, there’s something about Youtube “stars” and their sense of entitlement that really rubs me the wrong way. My inner old man wants to tell…

Yeah its weird how in the past year or so people start qualifying their mistakes instead of just admitting they’re wrong. It’s almost as if some ultra prominent public figure had popularized such behavior and shown that it has zero consequences and the largest of rewards.....

The problem here is that youtubers aren’t use to this sort of attention. For years they were celebrities in their own little bubble. You either subscribed to their channel and liked everything they did or you just didn’t bother following them. Anyone who would call out something a big youtuber did as bad or stupid was…

Especially when it involves twisting the original article - the tweet in question only states that the ads were playing alongside racist videos and not who specifically is receiving the money. Yes it is implied and could benefit from more clarification (which can be difficult with twitter’s character limit). But man…

Saw this play out over on Reddit this weekend. I really dislike this trend of moving the goalposts instead of just admitting the mistake. This seems to be a trend among the youtubers- Admit fault and amend with a BUT...

We’ve continued to reach out to Ubisoft and Bethesda for comment over the years regardless of their positions vis a vis our site. and had asked for comments about The Division before. Recently I heard from Ubisoft that they’d be amenable to doing interviews again, so we talked and I told them that I’ve been wanting to…

Oh are we talking about Berserk again?

“We were simply saying ‘This belongs elsewhere,’ like if you posted about classical music in /r/gaming,”

well ...

and underage characters. I wonder the same thing too but one has to recall how sex is viewed in both countries and compare and contrast; in the US - despite the constant hypocrisy involved, is still frowned down upon by religion and politicians. Not so much in Japan, where some would rather have sex with a body pillow…

It’s kinda surprising there isn’t a larger market for English Sex games/animation. There is certainly a huge demand. Japan basically has the market cornered, which is unfortunate given their censorship laws, and, honestly, kinda have an obsession with rape.

Well, you could say a lot of people still got f*cked.

Not for the 1st time,

If WBC keeps using Pokemon in their promotional material, would Nintendo have precedent to sue them for unauthorized use of their IP? Because that is a battle that I would love to watch go down.
