The problem isn't earning money - it's earning money unjustly off the labor of others with no regard for the social good. Le Guin is an honest laborer who produces things of value, and deserves to be compensated for what she produces. Amazon, while it certainly provides a useful service and does deserve some…
What you're doing here, really, is you're attacking her right to demand something most people would label as "simply being reasonable". The divine right of kings isn't reasonable, and neither is an economic system where gains are concentrated at the top. Amazon's treatment of Hachette wasn't particularly reasonable-…

You're right. I fucked that one up.
I like how your campaign for "journalistic ethics" has taken to targeting advertisers, given that advertiser influence over editorial decisions is the polar opposite of "journalistic ethics".
You're putting yourself out there pretty firmly in this comments section, so I'm forced to ask: why are you not content to simply ignore the media outlets presenting material you don't like? I simply don't understand how attacking publications you don't like is anything but vindictive. I mean... What is the end game…
Jesus Christ on a cracker.
Leigh Alexander wasn't talking about you. Hell, she wasn't talking about me (the cis-gendered heteroish white male in our current back and forth).
She was talking about the cesspool of self-obsessed child rapists that have come to dominate "gamer culture" - basement dwelling Hot Pocket…
