Oh kindly fuck off Zaslav

But, you see, guys: somewhere out there, deep within a shareholder’s portfolio, a number went up a tiny bit.

Yes. Their orange idol starting stealing oxygen in earnest in 2015.

They won’t win. Young people are more likely to identify as LGBTQ than as Republican. We just need to get them to vote, and the threat of rolling civil rights back to the 1920s is making people wake up.

I shot down a guy who was posting incredibly stupid Warhammer 40K memes on Steam about how Warhammer was being “ruined” by “woke leftists”, just a very casual drive-by comment which I should have been too mature to make, but it was such an easy target, and my god the TEARS. Dude basically had a breakdown because I…

Jesus christ these people are still hung up on Sarkeesian? Is it still 2015 for them or something?

Yes, God of War is set explicitly in the realms of Norse mythology, but Alan Wake and Alan Wake 2 draw heavily from it as well (as does Control to a much lesser extent). Remedy is a Finnish studio and they heavily incorporate that into their games, particularly in their modern shared universe.

My favorite is when Dead Space remake launched and they got upset about gender neutral bathrooms in the game. I’m like well it is a horror game and if gender neutral bathrooms scare you then it’s doing its job!

Yea, I’m truly baffled right now, but maybe I shouldn’t be?

Gamer-gate was a test-run for fascist strategies online, and this time next year it’s very possible that this country will be under a fascist dictatorship. That’s why we’re still “in this era.”

Anyone who uses “woke” as a pejorative is telling on themselves that they’re a garbage human, and should be immediately kicked out of whatever group they’re in and deplatformed.

Why are you asking “why is this person gay” in a videogame? It doesn’t need to have anything to do with the fucking plot; there are gay people in real life, sometimes that’s just a person.

“At the end of the day it seems like both sides are talking about the same thing. SBI’s right wing critics insist that SBI is intentionally putting DEI elements into their story and SBI pretty much admits to it”

Did we read the same article because they didn’t admit to that at all? They said that the DEI elements…

Let’s face it: the main reason these mouthbreathers are bent out of shape about Saga Anderson being Black is because of the use of Norse mythology in Alan Wake and in her character’s story arc particularly. It’s barely veiled white supremacist nonsense.

I just can’t believe we’re still in this ‘gamer-gate’ era of bullshit because of these sad pathetic boys with their chauvanistic, racist ideals that ANGERY because they aren’t 100% being catered to. And their usage of the term ‘woke’ is just as pathetic.

Like...it’s ironic that they’ve co-opted a black term in the…

dr strange this is no time to be in the kotaku comment section the avengers need you to open a portal

I get super gamer gate vibes from this entire community and the level of moronic conspiracy is just bogglingly stupid. In a few comments against a YongYea video I saw people claiming that Sweet Baby developed over 90% of Suicide Squad. It’s so incredibly stupid that it make my head physically hurt

It makes more sense if you assume these “movements” are largely bolstered by teenage edgelords.

There is something wild about claiming a character that looks straight out of a hentai is “tradition.”
