Well if they are art, then they can be evaluated and critiqued like art for the content they contain, which is what Tom’s piece does.

“Video games are an escape.”

Pick one.

While I love everyone on the Kotaku staff, I do appreciate the occasional guest stars! Keep it up!

To anyone claiming this isn’t just the tired, unoriginal, anti-trans mockery explained in Heather’s post, can you go ahead and explain the joke for me then?
