Except if you sign a legally binding contract that says you are to be paid money for playing video games, and they shirk on it, you are well within your rights to complain.
"Save up and get educated..."
The amount of money football players are paid for running around a field is even more astonishing. If you want blame E-sports players for their pays you might as well sue all physical athletes.
People earning living wages in gaming is a bad thing to you? :c
This guy just takes gentleman and classes it the fuck up, I am now contemplating buying this... just to have some high hopes of running into this guy (am I weird for WANTING to get robbed?)

And you are another user that bitches and moans about everything that gets posted on Kotaku as if you where forced to visit the site every day or for some reason had to pay to get an account.
You're just saying that and thinking that way because you're part of the subsection of society ie white christian males who does most of this kind of offending we constantly have to hear about every fucking day in the news and also because you have zero capacity to empathize with another human being. You've never…
That's admirable (and I mean that sincerely, not as some sort of back-handed snide remark).
But you have to understand that things affect people differently. In the above example (about trans people), this is something that affects your hypothetical trans person 24/7. They are at dramatically increased risk of violence…
See, that's fairly reasonable. The death threats (as self-evidently unacceptable as they are) certainly exacerbated things. That doesn't EXCUSE his response to people who were utterly blameless, but it does offer some context.
The thing is, then he KEPT pushing. And kept pushing. And kept pushing. It seems like his…
...yeah you do? I mean, I haven't seen ANYONE defending those or saying that's okay. You are arguing against something that LITERALLY NO ONE is arguing in favor of.
(And of course, the people criticizing him were ALSO met with death/rape threats by Mike's supporters.)
So, if we both agree THOSE people are huge assholes…
Okay. In what way do you think it went "beyond criticism"?
(Note: I'm not counting any death threats here, because those are so self-evidently vile and unacceptable that I think it goes without saying.)
No, you're using words I said in a completely different context. You're the one making (provably wrong) assertions like "Words can only affect your thinking if you let them".
But remember what I said about not doing the whole bullshit semantic argument thing? Yeah. I think I'm gonna stick to that.
I am an artist (an animator, to be precise), so I don't need to be told about creative freedom. The thing is, when you put out any kind of artistic work, you are implicitly inviting criticism.
Trying to say that racism/transphobia/homophobia/whatever is only in-person discrimination (or whatever argument you're making)…
No, I'm establishing our premises, while you're being deliberately obtuse.
We've now established that words CAN shape thought; the disagreement is actually over the degree to which it does so (and presumably the amount of exposure required).
But hey, feel free to keep attributing to me things I didn't actually say.…
Even if those mean things are racist or homophobic (or, in this case, transphobic)?
You can do it! And your idea sounds awesome :)
