Those responses are indeed totally, laughably ridiculous. Not just stupidly sexist but plainly factually inaccurate. Those comments deserve all the criticism they get. But my question is, if nobody from their company had said anything one way or the other, would people still find it upsetting that Tarkov has no female…

One of the reasons it’s so difficult and awful and divisive to have discussions on the internet is that so many people, people like you, assume the absolute worst about everyone who doesn’t see exactly eye to eye with you. Please, for the love of god, step back a little and try to see why that is a problem. I…

I think traditionally the argument has been that certain demographics are not represented in any games, but that’s not really the case anymore is it? I could rattle off quite a few games that are remarkably inclusive.

But does every game have to have every option for diversity in it? Is it unacceptable to tell a story if it’s not completely representative of all marginalized people? If I create a Warhammer 40k game and you can’t play as a female space marine because of the lore, does that game not have a right to exist? If you are…

I stopped being surprised by virtue signaling gaming journalists last year. Good points are made in this article, but an incredibly small russian dev studio with history of a poor pr team, all male developers in a military simulator game saying something stupid about women in their game is a reason to create 3 kotaku…

If you’re implying that this article is an answer to my questions, I disagree. The article is written with the assumption that the reader already knows and agrees that it is a problem we should be upset about. It does not really make that argument, it assumes that argument has already been made and won.

But....why is it a problem if Tarkov decides it will do a war game where the soldiers are male? Nobody really makes a good argument for why that’s a problem, or why that is an issue worth writing long articles about. “Representation is good!” Sure, cool, we agree. But that isn’t the same as “I should care that this…

I’d been following this title for a while. Played the demo on Steam a month or two back. While the levels and art were gorgeous, I felt the actual level design and how you moved through it to be very generic, bland, and boring. I was hoping for more creativity in navigating through an area, much like the creativity…

The thing is. It isn’t uniquely Japanese, per say.
It’s uniquely UNIQUE. Unique among Japanese and Western development.

If the guy was from America and he developed a similar game here, we wouldn’t call it a Uniquely American game.  It would just be unique.

Man, I feel this. I have depression and anxiety, but I’m told by friends that I am super approachable and funny and outgoing and shit that I straight up, no lie, do not feel ever not even once. I respond to compliments with complete disbelief, I feel like a super closed off gigaintrovert, I have no idea why anyone…

It makes no sense to get upset over imagery in a work of fiction until you know in what context the imagery is being used. Also, a depiction of a fictionalized world is likely to contain portrayals of real bigotry, especially one set in this universe, so it’s not appropriate to assume that just because bigotry is…

yeah somehow i doubt the animation team for Senran Kagura is struggling with PTSD from making titties bounce.  

One of them embraces uncanny valley in a good way.

The other one involves Sonic teeth.

Pikachu looks good

Actually, depending on the mental health issue it kind of is? People have certain kind of breaks say some pretty insane stuff that they later have memory of and would never say even privately.

You got it chief. Next time we have a mentally off kilter person posting images of himself with guns holing up in an apartment and refusing to leave, we’re going to send you in with a t shirt and slacks. Armoring up the squad to eliminate the potential of death as much as possible is a bad move. All cops are bad. And…

He publicly threatened suicide, then posted a picture to Instagram of him holding a pistol. Do you want them to confront him with balloon swords and bubble guns?

Someone who politely answers peoples questions?

I can see where Heather probably wouldn’t want to be dragged into a tangential discussion in the comments section of her own article... But also, a lot of writers all over the GMG collection of sites for some reason seem to have a similar ‘house style’ when engaging with comments, and as a part of it often when…
