It feels like you don’t want to recognize the game can hold valuable worth outside of your opinion, and can’t just consider that it isn’t for you. It must be seen as something that is objectively bad - whatever that is - and that is what causes the kind of strong reactions that are now frustrating you. You’re actually…

The pathetic part is to only take pictures of mask wearers without otherwise enforcing the mask policy. 

Except for last year (I think?), when fucking Untitled Goose Game won.

Okay. A game that a ton of people spent years working on should have just shelved it until “this all blows over.” That’s the craziest thing I’ve read on Kotaku in a while. ~$100 million just sitting on Druckmann’s shelf until the world is in a more stable place. It’s likely still Playstation’s top selling release this…

I agree. It’s definitely possible to dislike this game on its merits, but so many seemingly “good faith” critiques of it end up unraveling into unsavory garbage under even a little scrutiny. And more often than not, they’ve never even played the game!

Well deserved. It really is one of the most intense, emotional and best-looking games of this generation and I will never understand the visceral hate some people have for it. It’s as though people who didn’t like it can’t just shrug it off, they have to fucking HATE it. I think that’s partially because the game isn’t…

I thought it was a great game.

I was just about to post this. It’s so hilarious to watch everyone lose their minds because they think THEIR opinion is more important.

Honestly? It’s probably the darkest game I’ve ever seen, and that might be the point but it’s just like, I didn’t play it but I watched a let’s play of it and like... I’m kinda glad I experienced it through a filter. Was it good? yes. Graphically. Could I have gotten along fine not watching most of the cast die and/or…

A large portion of those who “hated it” never played it. They read the story leaks, let their homophobic and/or transphobic anger come out, and have littered any online coverage of the game every day since. Some go the extra step and send anti-Semitic slurs at Neil Druckmann. They’ll hide behind Joel’s fate, but not…

So many angry people in various twitch chats and the official youtube chat that absolutely hated TLOU2. People will find things to hate in anything. My wife and I really enjoyed it. How people can think it’s some Fem-Nazi propaganda is beyond me. People need more hobbies outside of video games, it seems. 

The #Metoo metaphor in Bojack’s ending also works because it acknowledges a difficult reality of the phenomenon: how quick Hollywood is to forgive these people. By the end of the series, Bojack has been convinced to film a new movie where he intentionally acts as offensive as possible as a way to “fight back” against…

I’ve never seen Bojack Horseman. Many people with excellent taste say it’s a good show. Certainly I think highly of Danette’s opinion.

Stan is a timeless song about a fan being obsessed with a celebrity. Nothing dated about that at all. Can’t count how many times of seen videos or stories about fans showing up at YouTubers houses or stalking celebrities, ect.

Would it be better for you if they parodied a weekend song?

It’s easy to lose the humor in anything when you over-analyze it. 

This is weird. On one hand I do find modern cancel culture to be excessive and overreactive. And on the other hand racist jokes are shitty and unnecessary. But on the third unexpected why the fuck do I have three hands hand, who the dick wrote that line and thought “huh huh...I made a funny”?

“Is that REALLY something that kids do regularly enough for China to know about it? It seems like such a stupid, playground bullshit rhyme.”

You might want to re-read your own argument.  You specifically said “Yeah, what was said was racist” and then tried to defend it...

Be honest, though. You were just going to waste those 45 minutes anyway.
