crap. we got climate change in our video games now too?

the need to /s has never been so eloquent.

I hope I’m not minimizing the concerns of the “Anti” crowd, but I can’t help but to compare this controversy with the perennial undead horse of “video-games cause violence” that gets trotted out every now and again.

I hear what you’re saying and actually agree, but surely you realize you’re not going to convince anyone when your argument hinges on defending someone that rapes children? All you’re going to accomplish is harden the position of those who might have been more receptive otherwise.

They said the same spiel regarding construction work but it didn’t quite hold true. Certainly each industry is going to be different and what works in one is not guaranteed to work in another. All I have to say is: has it been tried yet? Because it seems to me that the current system isn’t working and no other…

Well said

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.
