Soo...yea...not true. I hate the idea of slavery on multiple levels, but this is a straight up lie. When Europeans landed in Africa, they pretty much took advantage of a system that was already in place. Yes, we cranked it to 11 with little regard for anything but profit and efficiency as we are wont to do, but we…

lol, censorship is NOT! just about government censorship. Censorship in of itself is not illegal, which is what you may be trying to say. Government censorship is mostly*** illegal but there are literally thousands of exceptions from wartime rules, peacetime rules and varying degrees of “security” related issues to…

Except that words can gain new meaning as cultures change, and while the strictest/original definition of censorship refereed to government bodies “forcing” censoring, the word can commonly take on a more colloquial meaning about any form of “power” exerting itself to block out content, and with the comes a muddled…

Please pay for the games that you play and enjoy. I know that institutionally Kotaku is dismissive of concerns about piracy - they make the kind of content that isn’t subject to being pirated - but the industry can’t survive if you don’t.

I love the racism you enthusiastically express.
Obama was invited many times by Bill O’Rielly, but he was to chicken shit to appear.

Step One: Avoid transiting through the USA at all costs.
I won’t set foot in your nation until you climb off your fucking high-chair and act like a fucking normal country.

This is fucked up. There’s a whole episode about Kanna’s track and field day where Kobayashi has to come to terms with the fact that she’s basically this young dragon girl’s mom and has to do the right thing and go to the track meet. Just because Kobayashi isn’t a traditional mom doesn’t mean she’s not a mom.…

Ok now hold the fuck on. We can NOT have a list of best anime moms and not have motherfucking Yuriko Gouda from My Love Story!! included. To do such a thing is bullshit and should be a crime punishable by death. For fuck’s sakes, when she was pregnant, about to give birth even, she selflessly carried another pregnant…

Inko Midoriya from My Hero Academia is definitely up there and deserves a spot on this list imo.

In the running for pretty great moms I think.

Fasting works better psychologically for some people than others. Personally I have a hard time eating and not getting as much as I want. It’s easier for me to skip a meal.

First things first. that picture is NOT a 15 year old... maybe when he was 10.

Awards are often political more than anything. Appeals to authority (her award and the perosn giving it to her) prove nothing other than you really like fallacious thinking.

I might be off here but didn’t she say that she didn’t actually play that many games or that she didn’t consider herself a gamer or something along those lines. Sounds familiar but can’t recall exactly.

Anita is completely tone deaf in her criticisms. Yeah, there’s an issue with representation of women in video games, I’m not going to pretend there’s not, but she often points to examples that make no sense if you actually know the source material. Here she points at Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite as an “encouraging…

And now that we’ve suffered through that, please take the time to watch Liana Kerzner’s much better and more entertaining ‘Gamer’s Guide to feminism’. A video series with a longer run time, better production values, a shorter development cycle and done entirely for free.

So, her analysis of Bioshock Infinite really shows the problem with her videos.

“For all the financial support Sarkeesian and her project received, she also received harassment and fierce criticism, much of it from people intolerant of even her generally mild critique of video games and hawkishly scouring her work for possible errors or missing counter-examples.”

This was probably the easiest…

The thing that always bothered me about these videos is how they latch onto a really good subject that could be discussed with great detail and intelligence, and then starts grasping at straws because it was not researched enough. The best example I know of is one of her old videos (I cant remember which and cant be…

Same. She generally had some good points, and I didn’t ever vehemently disagree or whole-heartedly agree with her, but she fell really, REALLY hard into the confirmation bias trap.
