You’re a brave and principled hero. Just like Max Read and Tommy Craggs.

Belittling you and explaining to you why you’re wrong

So nice to see that strawmen are in your pantheon of what constitutes “true journalism”.

With the “hot take” meme? Yeah, that would have stung badly, back in 2012.

Hashtags don’t work in comments, Grandma.

You’re not Hunter S. Thompson. Hunter S. Thompson is dead. Quit trying to be Hunter S. Thompson.

Yeah, I know that if I ran a publication, I’d be beating down the door to hire a guy who greenlit, edited and then resigned in defense of an article that will undoubtedly result in a multi-million dollar lawsuit that Gawker will have to settle out.

Gawker is and never was “journalism”. At this point, it seems more and more like a cult, actually. The way some people are throwing down for a fucking blog is what’s really disturbing here.

Unless of course he can only be friends with people he currently works with.

Shots fired. Send an ambulance. Send all the ambulances.

It seemed to hit Gawker really hard when they discovered that there were other websites on the internet and some of those websites had more readers and/or better content. To this day, they seem to regard it as some sort of betrayal when any of “their” commenters admit that they peruse those “enemy” websites.

So, are you a big slavery fan or just a fan of treason, in general?

Over 10,000 Confederate conscripts in Lee’s army immediately deserted when he invaded the north. Every soldier in that army knew that the reason those soldiers deserted was because they were angry about being lied to when they were told “we’re doing this to protect our homes”. Every soldier that remained in that army,…

I think the fact that so many people so boldly speak out in favor of the CSA traitors, here in 2015, is Exhibit Fucking One for why their symbols shouldn’t be receiving tacit governmental approval.

Stop taking my tax dollars and using them to build and maintain monuments to traitors.

You’re right. Transracial is a thing now. I read it on Tumblr and if you read stuff on Tumblr and say that what you read is completely ridiculous that makes you a bigot and I ain’t no bigot.

I’m pissed off. I want to read more Japanese vending machine news, not this SJW bullshit!!

You come to Kotaku to read about video games?

Get ready to hear all the righteous outrage about the “homophobia” in those scenes from the usual suspects!

But Dude, they’ve got the model half finished thanks to the DLC Cloud outfit they made for Lightning!
