2022 America where we are collectively antagonized for merely existing.

I mean I’m reading this website right now one handed with a belt around my neck.  Nothing gets me going like corporately mandated smutty comments to get clicks. 

Nah it’s mostly just about a news site we use to enjoy just becoming a content mill putting up anything if it gets ya clicks.

Yup, you’re reading it right. As long as it’s YOUR kink, your fetish, your identification - it’s fine. But if you disagree you’re wrong and some kind of puritanical, bigoted homophobe.

I re-read it just now, and it while it was more neutral than I remembered, but it’s full of little jabs that seem very condescending.

Though many NSFW video games employ aspects of BDSM that may spark your interest, not every depiction of BDSM in games translates well to the actual bedroom. Some sex games even perpetuate dangerous misconceptions about women and kink

You’re assuming waay too much. Most people seem confused that Kotaku, a website that as recently as 2o19 criticised Overwatch porn, is now promoting porn games. It just seems hypocritical.

So, I guess the objectification of women in games is now okay? And misrepresenting a fetish in harmful ways is just, you know; fun?And the people who complain are being too puritanical? Am I reading this right?

Yeah, I came to this article to say this. Not even 3 years ago there was an article lambasting Overwatch porn for... *gasp* being aimed at a straight male audience *someone in the audience faints*.

Sounds like you're projecting.

Would it be possible to be a bit more careful when picking out a pic for the header of the article and what is shown on the home screen of Kotaku? I have no problem with this article existing, but I just had to slam my laptop down in my office cause it looks like I’m reading hentai at work.

Yes. Squeamish about teenage looking girls in bondage from a country that only made pedophilia illegal in 1999 (you can still possess it just not make it) and harems which are known to be very empowering to women.

There once was a time when Kotaku raised the extremely problematic sexualization of women in gaming. Reporting, opinion pieces, The Art tag stopped promoting giant boob-based pictures. I’d suggest looking in the archives, but apparently Herb had pre-Herb content deleted. Can’t be hypocrites that way amirite?

Wow...a new low for Kotaku.

Yeah, seriously. This website is a fucking embarassment.

What the fuck is this website anymore?

Yeah, and if you just pretend the story in Wildlands is a satire ala Team America, where the americans are gonna liberate the smelly brown country with some good ol’ freedom, it works quite well. I mean it’s honestly pretty hard not to read it that way already: it’s so up the ass of the american exceptionalism concept…

Guess it depends on the games you like playing I guess. I personally would rather play Wildlands over Boyfriend Dungeon, it’s all in what kind of games you like. That said, I play games more to have fun than to delve into possible moral and political statements they may or may not be making, especially when at times…

Ghost recon wildlands is a better game than boyfriend dungeon.

Does the author expects people to live in pandemic mode for the rest of their lives? Covid is not going away. Between multiple vaccines, advances in treatment and some degree of natural immunity, most people have started to treat Covid as endemic and resumed their regular lives, including health authorities.
