It’s a title of a World of Warcraft book

Almost as hard hitting as Grayson’s “fuck that guy for having money” article a couple weeks ago. Do better Kotaku.

shit like this is why people don’t take us liberals seriously when ACTUAL issues of hate speech, language and dog-whistling need to be addressed.

I mock the right for being reactionary, but if I’m being honest, we can be just as bad.

blood and honor is also the title of an episode of magnum pi

I dunno man, “blood” and “honor” are two pretttttty common words in video games, and putting them together seems like something that’s probably happened without any devious intentions more than a few times across the history of gaming. The fact that you’ve got to translate it from German first, too... ehh.

Meh. Nazis shouldn’t have a monopoly on edgy slogans. As long as they’re not advocating for a superior race it’s probably not a big deal that they have the same slogan as the hitler boy scouts.

It’s a phrase that’s been seen in other fantasy media

But how do you know we aren’t suffering in our own ways? How do you know we haven’t had to change our way either? This is something that always bugs me. I get your story and i feel sympathy for you, its a terrible thing to go through to have your own family condemn you for the sake of reputation. Fuck them, but not as…

He neither resigned nor was fired. He’s taking a leave of absence (I.E.

Thing is, only americans mix personal and professional life this way. If the dude who delivered my pizza lies to get laid, I’m still gonna eat the pizza. His personal life is none of my business. The same right should apply to anyone unless their job is based on upholding moral values like politicians or priests.

Mainly because you’re not forcing me into something. People lie, all the time. It’s just a fact of life. Consensual doesn’t expand out to include not being lied to. None of these women agreed to have an affair, and so he deserves every blow up that comes his way, but they all (as far as we know) agreed to have sex…

The article goes into personal details about this guy. Not what I would call gaming news.

This is why people think virtue on the left is performative. You really don’t care beyond getting to ranting at people.

Lying doesn’t make the relationship non-consensual.

Words and their meanings and using them correctly is important to me and it should be important to you too. Improper language hurts your cause.

Coercion is the practice of forcing another party to act in an involuntary manner by use of threats or force.

There was no coercion. Lying about your marriage isn’t coercion.

“Informed consent” is a medical proceeding. And lying about being married is hardly “coercion”, which has legal consequences - and no human adult has ever been convicted of lying about their marital status...

It is arguable that obtaining consent under false pretenses is a form of assault. In fact, we already have legal precedent for it, insofar as a number of jurisdictions consider - for example - lying about wearing a condom to mean that you didn’t obtain consent, for example. Consent needs to be free and informed to be…

lmao nobody in the office gives a shit about your love life unless it involves someone else in the company. i honestly dont care about this. ive done shady things too. im guessing the only reason he stepped down was because the other party worked close by.

To what degree am I personally supposed to care if someone who works on a video game I’ll probably buy cheats on his wife? What’s the fundamental difference in a person’s “good” score between infidelity vs they hit a parked car and don’t leave a note? Under-report income on their taxes?
