A group of executives from a multinational corporation famous for pop-culture references in their games are probably better informed on current events than your friend.

“A lot of commenters” were probably insisting that Cosby was innocent until proven guilty in 2013.

For reference here’s the joke:

As I recall, there were 13 other women accusing Cosby of rape or sexual abuse during the same year Andrea Constand’s brought her 2005 suit against Cosby. It’s worth noting that the infamous deposition where Cosby admits to drugging and raping his victim came from that case.

Cosby’s deposition where he admits to drugging and raping Andrea Constand was used in Constand’s civil case in 2005. There were also around 13 other women accusing Cosby of rape or sexual abuse that same year.

I’ll bite. Did Kotaku and Jason not part on amicably? What happened?

the “Cosby Suite” name was a play on the comedian’s iconic ugly sweaters, and didn’t have any sexual connotation—at least, not when the joke began. Instead, they suggest, the running joke was that the rooms in question looked dated, like the sweater.

Love it! Thanks for digging this up

Let’s not forget about the other half of this idiot-cycle: Us.

Both things can be true at once.

Agreed but ya gotta speak their language, Luke. Try this:

Also from a family that drinks more beer than they do water... and we both know drunk talk is a thing.

You messed up with the Folgers crystals bit. I have absolute faith that stuff can do anything.

Well, yeah, but Saving Warrant Officer Emile doesn’t quite have the same punch.

Given PAX was somewhat notorious for circulating the “PAX-virus” during it’s time, the association’s enough for me to give it a raised eyebrow now that getting sick is always an alarming situation. It’s probably unfair of me, given most conventions are no less disease-ridden but gut reactions are gut reactions.

Timing maybe? Maybe it’s only now that she feels she finally put down enough roots to be “un-fireable”? Perhaps she’s even right, she wouldn’t be the first enabler academia has retained even after a very public mess.

Endlessly repeating a predetermined sequence of events trying change the ultimate outcome in some small, but meaningful way? There’s definitely a budding time travel-cyberpunk movie plot in making here. Hollywood and sci-fi authors take note!

This is common practice with some of the more... questionable... mobile games. Rise of Empire Ice and Fire, for example, had a horn you could click every few minutes to launch a short advert. If you watch for long enough, you get rewarded with in-game resources.

I think it’s called the “Shapiro”

It’s still kind of astonishing to me how whites think “we” want to take anything from them.
