Given how old this service is, maybe time for a name change to paleopets

Ah yes. It’s that guy. I’m pretty sure that starring in one of the most popular movies of it’s genre counts as acting but, by all means, go ahead and shit on the guy if it makes you feel good.

His real breakout role was in The Social Network, according various misinformed people.

S1 got a lot of flack for not having much of a central story arc but honestly, I found the standalone episodes far more interesting than the main story arcs of S2 and S3. The worldbuilding and character development were just far stronger in S1.

Straight, cis, white dude here, read all the official Witcher books, played the games, wouldn’t really consider myself a *super*fan of the franchise but I think it’s fair to say I enjoy the IP.

I think you’ll find if you do some introspection that you’re actually racist and mad about Phillipa. 

With all that written, there is something I need to vent about this article and I apologize already advance about some of the things I am about to state.

Wow, Kotaku almost went an entire article without making it about racial issues. Was it physically painful to write that long before you had to get your fix and blame “cis, white, straight dudes”?

Yea, no, the ire the show gets is definitely because Philippa is black and not because the writing is fucking terrible.

That’s what I’ve said for awhile now. A lot of Luke’s shoutouts were people I remember reading, and it’s so wild that Patricia is the only one left now from when I could read most of the site’s content without skipping paragraphs or just giving up (not exactly anything against any of the current writers, it’s part me…

Waypoint shut down, All of Giant Bomb’s original folks moved on, now the last of the oldschool Kotaku writers leaves the site. I know that most of these folks have other projects ongoing, but it does seem like a lot of my old standard bookmarks aren’t what they used to be, for better or worse.

I don’t know if you haven’t spent much time on Twitter but this is like...the normal capital ‘G’ Gamer reaction whenever a black person/queer person/woman exists within 100 yards of their video games/movies.

Don’t conflate being a racist asshole with having mental health issues.  

Maybe I’m reading too deep into your comment, but let’s not conflate racism with mental illness. There are plenty of people with mental health issues who manage to not be racist in their treatment of others.

While watching a bad movie, I typically remind myself that, very often, just as much work goes into a bad movie as a good movie.

I forgot I want to see that. I remember the hilarious debate that that film was whitewashing/racist by including Matt Damon as something of a white savior and then China turned around and was like "no we prefer Matt Damon" lol

Jeez... some of the comments here are “kiddie diddler defense force 101”.

Why was my reply to this deleted?

Man, being angry at women for rejecting you is a full-time job.

You mean, “how you hold a bag with the label and model prominent when the bag’s manufacturer is paying you for the photo endorsement?”
