Yeah, Jen S. Something or other. Wrote some mildly unflattering article about a counter strike pro, got doxxed by DJwheat of twitch notoriety, harrased in the comments across the site, got death threats and stuff sent to her. Instead of standing in solidarity with her Kotaku printed basically a retraction by a…

Seeing as how Kotaku simply shadow bans and/or deletes comments they don’t agree with, I don’t see that being the case. There’s a reason the Kotaku comment section always sounds like a hive mind. Go anywhere else they crosspost their stuff. The majority think Kotaku is a joke.
Sure- but the articles standpoint is “videogames were once sexist”.
Good article. Though I will constantly wonder why Jen S. Never gets mentioned when Kotaku talks about this stuff. Considering she was a Kotaku intern who got harassed into quitting journalism back in 2011. Maybe it's because the editors caved to the pressure at the time and don't want to look back at themselves as…
Not to disagree with you completely but COD had no woman operators because women were not in elite operator combat roles- and for the most part, still aren’t.
“I don’t like it when people criticize the things I identify with, so y’all stop that right this instant.”
This is a bad take. It’s cool that you’re pumped to see Jolteon and Hitmonlee and Rhydon roaming around the wild area. It is equally cool for someone to be upset that they don’t see Bulbasaur, Squirtle, or Beedrill roaming around. I see a lot of these pieces that are framed like “Well you would never catch all 900+…
Counterpoint. No.
I see blue and black.
No, I’m not ignoring that. Telephones and mail also make it easier to deliver death threats, but I hardly think they are mistakes.
? Death threats are far older than the internet?
Except branding Hardwick as a shitty person has no basis in fact so really you are basing opinions in this case on blatant rumors and nothing more.
Welp. I don’t need to type anything, this literally covered everything for me. Thanks Grandpa.
There’s kind of an off tone here. The premise seems to be that maybe people only liked Borderlands because they were immature and young and now they are old and seasoned and won’t? I guess that works if you assume that the player was X age (maybe your age?) when they first started playing but now they have “been to a…
I don’t care for Chris Hardwick’s shtick but the hell do you want? We as a society can’t just forever mark someone because of an accusation especially when it goes nowhere. Who among us hasn’t said something shiddy about an ex with a decent bit of embellished details and sour grapes or vice versa. I have no idea what…
WHY even mention the National Dex controversy? It’s just gonna get people riled up again...
I’m inspired by Arnold Scharwzeneggar, but it’s not his fault that I lift weights. It’s especially not his fault if I lift weights and then hurt myself. That’s my fault. Just like it’s the shooter’s fault if he is inspired by our President and then does something bad. Trump is not responsible for anybody’s actions…
You don’t understand. We aren’t fed up with the series. We love the series. We aren’t trying to leave it. We are trying to save it. How many times in history have you seen gamers request that a game be pushed back and the dev have more time to complete it?
I don’t get how games can get up in arms about loot boxes or…
Correct me if I’m wrong (I haven’t played since Pokemon X/Y), but isn’t one reason people are upset at the lack of a National Dex is because they created the Pokemon Bank, which you PAY REAL MONEY FOR to store your Pokemon, initially on the promise you’d then be able to transfer them into new games?
