Should have cast the Evan Hansen guy

Because the show utterly failed at the most basic fundamentals of storytelling: who is this character? What is he trying to accomplish? Why? What are the obstacles? What does he learn along the way?

Just 2 days ago Kotaku sister site AVClub took pleasure in piling on an Asian woman for speaking with a ‘blaccent.’ Everyone is starting to get splattered with this shit now.

So no matter how sensitive or respectful they might be, white people should never explore anything outside of their own culture and heritage? It is WILD how the far left is swinging all the way back around to the idea that segregation might be a good idea

Imagine a group of allies and progressives being like “hey we want to explore some other cultures in a fun and not appropriation way so let’s hire some people to guide us on that way and present it to people” and standing on the sidelines and being like NO YOU CAN’T DO THAT!!!!

So....a solution? Sounds like you don’t want them to explore these cultural identifiers and the explorer-genre tropes. Should half the cast be fired and people you find “approved” be playing this game?

“This may seem like an overly cynical and bad-faith interpretation of what Critical Role is doing with this new campaign.”

“with pretty much only the first movie still having any kind of relevance—and that’s mostly just because of its ending”

Your incessant holier-than-thou bullshit makes me want to listen to Joe Rogan

“We’re gonna not be racist towards you!”

There are definitely people who simply focus on causing conflict in Social Media. You can usually trace nonsense issues back to people who aren’t arguing in good faith but managed to get people who usually are, riled up. It’s Trolling 101 and a large part of the ‘Cancel Culture’ concept. If the left/progressives are…

Social media means fringe thinking gets a lot of publicity. All Republicans aren’t Q supporters and all progressives aren’t complaining about accents.  There's extremists on both sides.

Sucks that _insert celebrity name here_ is getting dragged because a few woker then thou shitheads on Twitter decided they just had to yuck in everyone elses yum

Ah yes, sometimes I forget that the only thing that influences how you are supposed to talk (and allowed to talk, for that matter) is the color of your skin and your racial heritage. The environment in which you learn to speak is not an excuse. A black kid that grows up in Bill Gates’s house can only speak in slang…

I definitely consider myself liberal/left, but I often find myself pretty disgusted by how much discourse on the left sounds oddly like it’s promoting separation of the races. 

I find it hilarious how readily people are willing to group people’s entire ideologies into 2 different groups, with absolutely zero room for any aberrations in those beliefs across a population of millions. Like, if you’re liberal you need to be for everything that liberals stand for, even though the politicians…

This is exactly what I’m talking about.

Awesome, welcome. Looking forward to your tenure.

Hi! I’m on Firefox for Android. I almost missed two third of your text because there was a “Read More” button below it. I don’t understand why it happened. Kotaku is whitelisted on my Firefox settings, so there’s no adblocking.

If you want your website to be more inclusive, shouldn’t you also take into account more conservative views? Shouldn’t you build bridges rather than ostracize people who may not fall as far left of the spectrum as you? I get not tolerating bigotry, but there is a decidedly activist tone to many of Kotaku’s article…
