As someone who has made mods for strategy games and uploaded them onto Steam, I can vouch from personal experience that the platform has a disturbingly huge (or at least vocal) alt-right subculture. And I say this because the mods I make often have the theme of correcting what I see as racially “whitewashed”

Very informative article you’ve presented here. I notice some of the commentators bring up corruption in the Haitian government as if that weren’t ultimately a symptom of the poverty forced upon the country. Where else do you think that corruption could have come from in the first place?

It’s racist whiners like these that make me embarrassed to be of European ancestry. I sure as well don’t want to be associated with their mentality simply because I share their skin color.

We’ll have to wait and see until more information about the other side of the story comes out. But the more I think about it, the more I question the narrative that Keaton is getting all this flack for expressing racist sentiments. If race had anything to do with it, you’d think he’d invoke it as a reason for being

“There is so much talent at Pixar and we remain enormous fans of their films.

Even to this day, it seems my family is constantly correcting my social skills—-and I HATE it. I really wish I could live my life without

I believe a major contributor to these problem behaviors is the larger Internet culture, especially the "online disinhibition effect" or Great Internet Fuckwad Theory. It's way easier to be a vulgar asshole when online anonymity is protecting you. Gamers aren't the only culprits behind this trend even if they are the

I actually think the Africa's Legends project mentioned on the official Leti website shows a lot of promise. Not only is the concept art really cool, but I do think pre-colonial African history needs more exposure in games.

I'm a straight white male who has experienced his own share of difficulties in life, and I say this DocSeuss dude is a whining racist and misogynistic troll who makes me sick to my stomach. Sure, he gives lip service to egalitarian ideals in his OP, but his true colors show through once people start rebutting his
