I would love to stop seeing reporting of any kind about this lame-o. It’s just helping him stay relevant when he doesn’t really deserve it.

Yes, it does. He’s not a political figure. He’s not a rights activist. He fucking plays video games for a living.

When said choice is keeping drama away from his family, any critique or commentary on that is wrong and bullshit. This whole post is a toxic slag of misinformed bullshit.

Well spoken. As I tread through the comments, it bothered me how many people are adamant about arguing past the point that ought to be a conclusion to the discussion.

This might have been a different discussion, had he been a politician, a congressman, a presidential candidate, but his current role as a streamer…

Since I don’t directly comment to greys—and especially greys with backward ass opinions—here goes:

Sounds like he’s already having a greater impact for female streamers than the author of this article acknowledges. If this is true then this whole article a classic case of the author letting an unrealistic ideal be the enemy of the good.

“I don’t want to do this because it makes me and my family uncomfortable,” is full-enough reason not to do something, full stop.

Kotaku has been off the rails a very long time. Unfortunately, Grayson is quite literally a voice for the delusional, drooling psychopaths behind the shadows just waiting to jump on anyone they don’t agree with. Has been for a long while now.

at age 92 is exactly when I would start eating whatever the fuck I wanted

oh shit

Oh yea man. Lets copyright literally everything i want to pay royaltys everytime i flip my lightswitch and open my car door.

I like your use to the word interpretation. I feel like what ever happens Epic will claim that the dances are not one to one recreations of these dances, that they are tangentially inspired by certain undisclosed dances and that the dances themselves differ enough to be different dance moves, possible evolutions of a…

Can any of these artists prove they invented a particular dance?

We need to establish a Ministry of Funny Dances so we can regulate this type of movement. We can’t have people stealing body movements without paying royalties.

A lot of that game exists on tumblrs and twitter feeds filled with fanart and fanfiction, a well Blizzard, I’d argue, has become even somewhat dependent on as it continues trying to develop and expand the game.

You can't copyright dance moves. End of.

Except that Fortnite is copying dances from more than just black artists and those people aren’t being paid either.  But sure, let’s make it all about race instead of artists’ rights in general.

For a second there I thought I was on The Root.

Not participating in social media at all seems like the best thing to do these days.

If you told me nobody is walking away from The Last of Us 2, I would not be that surprised.
