I think you nailed exactly what I was going to type.
As soon as I see the word “appropriation”, I always get this sinking feeling that I am readying poorly researched article by a young intern who hasn’t traveled enough or seen enough of the world to understand the intersections between art and culture.

I’ll start this by saying that anyone is free to feel insulted by whatever they feel insulted by. But I - an Asian-American living in a third world country - really think this criticism is stretching a bit.

We started running This Week In Business in 2011. For eight years I’ve gotten a kick out of working with Brendan Sinclair, James Brightman, Steve Peterson and others from the Industry Gamers and Games Industry sites, past and present, to bring interesting games-business-oriented stats and quotes to our readers.

No dummy, it’s residual radioactive material that condenses in the atmosphere after a nuclear detonation.

What is fallout? A video game?

I sent him a PSN message asking why they left. They responded “u bolt spam”. I replied, “Ok, sorry about that. I’m new to this and am still learning…

I was dominating with a tank in Bad Company 2 and an opposing player kept messaging me that I’m a vehicle whore and got not real skills. In the end of the round he had killed me once and gotten the highest kill score. I was second place overall. He voice messaged me saying expletive and demeaning choice of words. I…
