Sending nude pictures to and soliciting nude pictures from a 16 year old is still a crime.

Fortnite really doesn’t get enough credit for this kind of stuff and they do it all the time. When news came out about the respawn card mechanic being added you had a bunch of people mocking the game for not doing anything original. As if Apex were somehow completely original and not a late arrival to BR scene. …

Competitive game with prize money on the table. Far from being a “children’s card game” at that point.

There is nothing in the goddamned world like the absolute fragility of folks who occupy majority (race/ethnicity/sex/sexual orientation/religious affiliation) status feeling like they might have to share the pie they’ve previously had 99% of.

Think about this for just a moment: Every time someone screams about “SJWs,”…

Welp.

Was just speaking to my friends about this supposed outrage, and man, how far have we fallen to take offense in having a black character going back in time to prevent slavery. It's not only outrageous, it's sad . . .

It feels like another pile of fake outrage that feeds upon itself for energy. An instance where completely missing the point begets anger.

There’s a massive underrepresentation of black people within video games.

Drinking game: take a shot any time someone says “what about [insert any character darker than a summer tan]!?”

Wow, thanks to consulting with Riot, I bet they’re really going to capture the authentic misogynist tone of so much gaming culture!

Yes, we all know the bottom line is money. But there is a reason it works so well. It encourages kids to link up and connect with their friends/siblings, because you can’t get them all just by yourself. From a gamer standpoint, we are all thinking - it is just so they can sell me the game twice! But, kids aren’t…

Oh my fucking god. So getting Japanese characters tattoo’d on you is now cultural appropriation?

Get the fuck out of here.

Look, we’ve all laughed at those people who got a Chinese character tattoo that thought it meant “spirit” or something, but it instead meant “soup”. But thats about the extent of it. The person…

It seems like the shitty move is mobilizing consumers to try to enforce a near monopoly on digital sales, even though the 30% commission is usurious at best.

Valve charge 30%, Epic charge 12%.

It’s not even new. Heroes been a thing since 2010, just hasn’t been outside the US.

I only ever used Tumblr for adult content so I guess I’m never going back.

Please stop being disingenuous. The move was done at the height of the LGBTQ civil rights controversy. It was (and still is) risky to upset the Gamer applecart by even appearing to be the least bit “SJW” because the angry white dudes who think that gaming is a hobby that belongs to them turn out in force to shout down…

Yeah, but not the RIGHT KIND of diverse...

Anyone who thinks this is a problem is a true moron. Overwatch’s heroes are pretty damned diverse.

Okay, but like...Pharah and Anna don’t count? Is it because they are Egyptian, not African-American “black”? By all means, I’m all for more black folk in the game, but this does bug me a bit.
