“IGN is Kicking Butts and Taking Names for New Editor-In-Chief”

If a lot of dumb people use a bad analogy, it doesn’t make it less of an analogy.

Yes. I was pointing out just how facile and stupid it was as an analogy.

Examples? I’d love to know who has been fired that you don’t think should have been.

Christ, and he’s even a “well, actually” type.

Truth has always been stranger than fiction, but you absolutely take the cake.

I bet most people who got lynched probably thought “You know, this is a lot like getting fired from a video game review site”.

The article doesn’t specify what the harassment was, sexual or bullying. So yeah, he’s sorta entitled to “not being a part of the lynch mob” without further proof. But the fact that IGN found enough cause for the firing indicates something really bad happened.

LOL. You actually think that your low-rent troll routine is clever.

May someone, anyone, have mercy on the poor bastards who have to put up with you on a daily basis.

I love how he demands receipts. That he is owed those details and needs to review the evidence himself before proclaiming if the EIC should have been fired by IGN.

It’s a serious problem, no if ands or butts about it, but I think it’s safe to get behind some of these jokes and put your guilt in the rear.

It will only be hilarious because people like you will feel that you’re suddenly able to say, “LOOK! LOOK! The SJWs are hypocrites!”

It’s entirely possible that someone within the Gizmodo Media Network is a creep. Human beings are human beings, and some of them will inevitably be fucking creepers, irrespective of their…

So many Butts jokes... but it’s a serious article about serious problems...

Without details? The ‘details’ were in the MONTHS-LONG INVESTIGATION that led to a conclusion that he did enough to warrant being fired. So take your ‘the harasser is the priority, won’t someone think of the harasser’ spiel and stick it.

I’m trying to follow this.

You think it’s somehow inappropriate for Kotaku to be reporting on sexual harassment? So your idea of ‘hilarious’ karma, in retribution for this somehow (in your mind) misguided reporting of news, would be if it transpires that someone at Kotaku were revealed to be behaving in a similar…

You and I have vastly different ideas on what is hilarious.

I’m not sure someone being sexually harassed is a matter of hilarity.

So in short, what they’re saying is... Butts was being an ass?

Side note: I expect that IGN will soon announce their new Editor-In-Charge, Mike Easter.

It’ll only be hilarious if you’re a petty man child who gets off on that kind of shit.

So in a roundabout way you’re hopeful that someone is being sexually harassed. You’re a great person 👏
