James Rolfe is so much more tolerable as himself than the Angry Video Game Nerd. And he ain’t all that tolerable. 

Yes, he does this to other people. It’s all in the article, that’s his “character.” However, the misogynist comments were unique to this situation. This scumbag is just a griefer hiding behind a bogus definition of roleplaying.

where is the sexist thing? only cause i said i dont like female leaders? or i dont accept them?

It’s griefing, not roleplaying.

Are you seriously buying the “I’m roleplaying a sexist” line of bullshit? Because if you are, I have some beautiful ocean-front property for sale in Arizona...

If you think they’re talking about you, you probably are garbage.

That’s literally not why this is happening, but okay.

I really hope a nice gaming publication gets Kotaku or at least takes the writing staff. They have a lot of great talent over there. More than most of the other kinja sites.

“I’m not interested in sharing this list or any other space with someone who is going to insist on nullifying and erasing my existence and experience as female,” a prominent futurist in progressive news media wrote back.

It is okay. The real revenge here is that trans women walk past her probably every day. She may even know one or two. She pees one stall over from trans women in the washroom.

Sticking to the main quest works great for a game like Horizon: Zero Dawn. It doesn’t for a game like Breath of the Wild that basically forces you to grind if you want to progress the main story.

No amount of “open-worldness” will ever be able to compete with a well- and DELIBERATELY-constructed, FOCUSED world in which a very specific series of events is designed to take place.

This is what I don’t ever understand. Who the hell thinks women cook up a false allegation for fun and to reap a reward of sunshine of roses? In real life, it’s completely the opposite in even the clearest cut cases. I was once a corroborating witness in a horrible situation that happened in public, in a work setting.…

You “get attacked here more than most” because you either don’t think about what you post or you *do* think about it and your intent is to be an offensive troll. Improve your behavior toward others and you’ll see a difference (this would involve maturing to the point of adulthood.)

Was she given due process before he blacklisted her and ruined HER career? How many millions of women and people of color had to work twice as hard and provide a higher level of quality than their WM counterparts only to have their lives and careers ruined for NOTHING other than having a vagina or brown skin - or…

I liked it. It was not perfect, but there was a lot to like. By light years, the best first season of Star Trek since 1966. Sonequa Martin-Green is a riveting charismatic presence, and Michael Burnham is already one of my all-time favorite Star Trek characters. I am looking forward to the show getting even better in…

Oh, sweetie, kindly shut the fuck up. I don’t care about your impaired opinion.

lean even heavier into the empty fanwank crap

Wait, that’s the part that bugged you? Star Trek has been about social justice from the moment Roddenberry pitched it to the network. If that’s what bugs you, I don’t know what franchise you’ve been following for the last 5 decades.
