No problem! I love Coates’ writing on all things, but he’s one of the greatest public intellectuals on the intersection of race and history in our current days, I think.

Because he’s on point about reminding us exactly WHAT the Civil War was about, here’s Ta-Nehisi Coates:

Yeah... that’s not a good idea. Ugh. Gizmodo and Kotaku are the best at killing my interest in things I’d otherwise like due to the commentariat.

Oh, it gets better. Now he’s using a Heinlein quote in big font to try to bolster his argument.

Speaking of equal rights, there’s a jackass over in Gizmodo who’s implying that women getting equal rights means getting punched in the face (by a guy).

I think you give people too much credit. Most people are just really assholes.

“Adam Sandler hasn’t been funny since SNL.”

Troll gonna troll. Just flag and dismiss ‘em.

No, why would Fallout 4 specifically benefit from some forced-on multi-player gimmick?

Also, if the internet has proved anything, it’s that I’d rather fuck a buzzsaw than play ANYTHING online.

Actually, having done some time in the ad/promo biz, that’s just the CYA talk. The promoter knew they didn’t have the rights and ran with it anyway, probably after checking off the record with higher ups. It’s not like they used some obscure 90s never-was in their promo.

No, she’s basically Tumblr come to life, in physical form. If it could only monetize itself, it’d take over the world.

I’m convinced that the older I get, the more ankle support becomes an attractive thing in all areas of life.

And the only requirement for fancy shoes and workplace should be if you’re doing Savate professionally. But even the French aren’t insane enough to make you wear heels.

Mother/Earthbound/Mother2 are awesome. Fuck Final Fantasy, this series is the real pinnacle of console RPGs.

That’s my question too! How did he know who turned in the complaint(s)? Sounds like the family should be suing whoever let that slip for contributing to the poor woman’s murder.

How the hell was this nutjob told who made the complain against him? Aren’t these things supposed to be confidential?

Not to mention there’s been a lot of suspicious police reports filled with her as the only witness for a bunch of harassment. And if those allegations are true, that’s way more damaging to the community than fudging one’s back story. It’s already hard enough to get the authorities to take action on racist harassment,…

Don’t waste your time. Racist troll gonna troll.

Racism? In gaming? Never.

Well, considering the poster is a troll... yeah, I think we could have seen that coming.
