This is the first time I’ve really felt hopeful since November 8th. If we keep this up, we may be ok.

Here are some protesters shutting down a highway, are they shitty?

Reading through the article, it appears he is not banned nor does anywhere in the article suggest he should be. The article documents the facts that some viewers had concerns about Linkus referring to Narcissa by her pre-transition name. Isn’t that a fair concern? Maybe Linkus doesn’t understand what is at stake in…

It seems like a reasonable request. I can also see how it would be tricky to execute it in what seems like a fair manner.

lol at the title. But, in all seriousness, I feel bad for Battleborn. It’s a solid game, but just not as technically sound nor as charming as Overwatch.

Same!

And WHO KNOWS what after that.

Yep, mobile gaming in 2017. Next year it’s gonna be mobile gaming in 2018.

Okay, so what’s the alternative? Sit there like bumps on a log and say nothing and let this crap go through completely unchallenged?

Can we recognize patterns instead of jumping on the usual “actually every fandom has this problem” explanation? It’s stale and overused, and it ignores reality.

I don’t even see the Matrix code anymore. All I see is... blonde, brunette, redhead...

I too remember when the Pokemon were based off of animals like:

there is only one pokemon and his name is trubbish and he’s my son

I think it is important for media where the message that “anyone can be a hero” to actually live up to that thesis.

So it’s pretty cool that a) the lead character (inasmuch as prominence in marketing material goes) in one of the biggest games in recent memory is queer, and b) her sexuality is presented as a totally normalized part of her life, not as a dark secret or moral shame. Progress!

That control scheme does not sound intuitive. It sounds bad. Learning a bad control scheme to make a game work probably means the game isn’t very good.

It sucks about the “NotAllMen”-ing going on with the expression, because I really like when people or groups are able to celebrate themselves without disparaging others. That sounds like exactly what #BlackExcellence is trying to do.

Good read, but I wish the whole of Kofi’s excellent explanation was posted or linked to:
