Jesus, did you lift that off a Geocities site?

Always alienate the only people who buy your game and pander to a bunch of sad fucking internet whiners that weren’t going to buy it anyways... Clearly this is Marketing 101
I’m sure you know what you are implying, and, for the record, I am no fan of Bill Clinton. I still do not believe that he raped Monica Lewinsky who was, by her own account, enamored with him. Manipulated her? Surely.
I do not believe that Monica Lewinsky ever claimed to have been raped nor did she say that it was nonconsensual sex.
I never know what to do with these kinds of cases. I am a survivor of rape, and deeply believe in showing support and compassion to victims, but at the same time I am deeply uncomfortable with the idea that a person’s personal and professional life can and should be ruined based on two tweets, with absolutely no…
Actually, what happened is some douchebag disrespected a woman, who happened to be Loda’s GF, and then tried to play it off as if he did nothing wrong in various delusional GamerGate-esque statements.
I think Loda tried to put some common sense into the unprofessional journalist.
Actually, no.. it doesn’t you colosal tool. Most adults are capable of being angry at more than one thing. Raping of women is wrong, period, but blanket statements like yours doesn’t do anything to fix the problem. Nothing. Aside from it being outright wrong, it makes you come of as an extremist and nobody takes an…
This Richard Lewis guy sounds like a supreme dickhole. Even in his own words, he sounds 100% at fault. He could have said anything publicly to twist the situation around and make himself look better and Loda worse, and yet even his point of view is really gross and sort of neckbeardy.
There are a lot of men out there. And I don’t know most of them, but it seems pretty damn unlikely that there are nearly three and a half billion rapists just walking around like it’s normal. I think it’s time to climb down from the outrage pony. It’s had a long day and is very tired. There is nothing to be gained by…
Why do the people who work at Kotaku always get so butthurt and throw snarky remarks at people who question them?
Jack Thompson wishes he’d been as effective at keeping games out of the hands of consumers as the PC lynch mob has been lately.
It’s not about specific criticisms of the franchise, it’s about the neo-puritanical culture that Anita and her followers have tried to bring into gaming. Step wrong, speak wrong, tweet wrong, develop wrong, and all of a sudden you’re “featured” in a video or a series of tweets, and you get SJW backlash rammed down…
You are not the only journalist out there. That’s why I said journalists. As a collective, community you have the power to almost bend the reality. Anything from something small like DOA to big things, like being a crutual link in government propaganda and citizen control, I believe in the US that would be FOX news or…
You’d think that, because Klepek conveniently left out the part where as soon as PlayAsia made that first tweet, every SJW on twitter came out of the woodwork and had a meltdown over it, including Kotaku’s own Luke Plunkett, threatening things from cancelling their accounts at PA to getting them blacklisted from sites…
The era wave of SJW would get offended, and blah blah, God forbid us to enjoy some fake nice female bodies. So for a few whiners, now the rest of us have to suffer the consequences.
The climate in the US has changed, to the point where any depiction of a female character in a game runs a significant risk of inciting an internet lynch mob.
The irony?
Yeah but it’s 2015 now. Guys are no longer allowed to like the female body anymore. Not publicly at least.
As a feminist and someone that’s been sneered at with the SJW label...
Well... Yeah, people like the Dead or Alive series lol.
And I think the fact that fucking feminists and shit who won’t even play the game but complain about it anyway is pissing people off.
