“Firstly Jeremy, I didn’t know you were going to make it a race issue, I’m quite disappointed to be honest.”

Welcome to Kotaku?

“But isn’t the lawsuit about whether he abused her? Both can be true, so what are people celebrating?”

Bears are the worst. Period.

America’s “ traditional culture” stems from oppression; to steal, and undermine others for your own selfish gains, and racist governors want to block that knowledge out, because the division born from ignorance benefits them, as it does any self-interested government.

The first message I read was like : ‘Find hole, and then offer seed’. I knew I was home.

I guess I don’t even know what MMOs you’d be referring to. All the biggest and earliest that come to mind (RS, UO, EQ, WoW, SWOL, etc) were always not gender locked. But they were big budget games where the customization was the draw. What your describing sounds more like the early ARPGs like Gauntlet, Diablo et al.

Diversify the cast. Why should people of color be only guest players or consultants?

Ah yes, the semi-annual hyperventilating article about how a group of real-life friends who started streaming their hobby should replace half of their friend group with random people to meet a diversity quota, and how white people are forbidden from exploring anything except “Generic European” cultures even when they…

Yup, the whole “Curse them if they do. Curse them if they don’t”.

Maybe they thought that dressing up in traditional attire of cultures that aren’t their own as white people would’ve been 10x worse.

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.”

And everyone in GG is hyper sexualized, men and women. Weirdly a lot of people will say that a guy with great abs is nothing more than male power fantasy, and means nothing to women. In many ways it feels like the ancient “women don’t like sex” fallacy. Women like hot guys just as much as men like hot girls.

Wome are hypersexualized because throughout history they have been sexually craved. It’s that simple. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

Did you watch it? He defended trans MULTIPLE times during that and other specials. All jokes are at the expense of someone or some thing. His weren’t dark. Why can the trans community attack those they don’t agree with while at the same time complaining about being attacked.

Asmongold is a complicated being. He has a dudebro persona he adopts when he streams, but then drops it when he makes videos for his second channel and then comes across as a fairly smart and nice individual. One second you see him criticizing inane stuff in a very douchey manner, and the next, he becomes the most…

meaning anyone wanting to play at 2K is shit out of luck

It’s the right mentality for the creative director to have, so I support it. Hugo has been a great director imo and I like that he’s given this thought and doesn’t want to put band-aid solutions on the idea.
