Well... when the accusations line up with things already known, and the defense amounts to ‘I have a gay and black friend so obviously I’m not against gays or blacks’ why exactly do you think people would give them the benefit of the doubt?

By saying abuse isn’t newsworthy, you are literally going out of your way to make yourself part of the problem, a culture that doesn’t just not give a shit, but angrily advocates that evils not be brought to light.

This isn’t about you.

“I know a woman and a black guy, so your argument is invalid! Judge me by my work!”

Gotta love when clueless CEOs with no media training go and spout the worst shit possible that came first on their minds to try to deflect accusations....

Comparing calling out men who are abusing their position to sexually harass with the systematic murder and burning alive of countless women because they weren’t “womanly” enough? *owen wilson voice* w0w.

So because it happens a lot you don’t think it’s true?

Counterpoint: fuck you and your willful ignorance

I don’t know why you are attempting to speak for millions of people, but try not doing that. Also try other game websites, or the newest, magical power that allows you to avoid articles that -to you- are not ‘proper reporting’. It’s called scrolling, truly a gift from the Gods/Goddess/Flying Pasta Monster/etc.

It accomplishes a hell of a lot more then your ass trying to run cover for bastards who should damn well know their behavior isn’t acceptable. GTFO.

“I have tons of black friends!”

Huh. My exposure with Quantic Dream is slight, but having one of the protagonists in Heavy Rain be the antagonist followed by that hidden nude model of Ellen Page in Beyond Two Souls, I can’t say I’m exactly surprised by this news.

This is my shocked face.

Since David Cage wants me to judge him by his work, I’d say that judging from his games, this is probably one of the least surprising things I’ve heard in recent news.

LOL that quote killed me. Just by his response I’m convinced all this stuff is true.

“Judge me by my work” is exactly the type of thing you would hear from a narcissistic racist, misogynist, or homophobe who doesn’t think he should be accountable for his real life actions. Incidentally, if you judge Cage by his work he comes off as utterly tacky and tawdry.

That’s like Roy Moore’s wife when her response to their anti-Semitic accusations what that they had a “Jew Lawyer”

Like, where did they find the time to even make 600 different images? Even if they weren’t horribly inappropriate, if employees were able to make this many Photoshops, that’s some really bad time management.

a trove of 600 photoshops of various employees that were homophobic or sexist in nature, and some which even included Nazi symbols, was discovered by an IT manager

well, that’s a new variant of the “I can’t be racist because I have a friend who is black” statement.
