I could argue that anime fans have just as many problems, whether it’s Mignogna’s rabid fans or the countless people who harassed the creators of High Guardian Spice and the staff at Crunchyroll. If anything, the problem is with fandom in general. Anybody who obsesses over one singular hobby and act like they’re the…

I always get a bit miffed when people frame things as angry gamers instead of acknowledging this is a problem with all of humanity that is amplified by the internet. There have been NFL quarterbacks who received threats simply because they threw an interception in a big game. It’s such a popular trope to act like…

I completely agree. A lot of it is just we-want-it-now mentality, as a lot of the loudest players are the most hardcore and would be most inclined to grind out the pass as quickly as they could. I’m rank 27 and I didn’t pay for the expensive bundle that leveled me up faster. At the current pace I’m leveling, I’ll have…

It’s always annoyed me when media has female animal characters appear more human but then have the male characters look more like animals. It’s not even just a Japanese thing, since Blacksad has the same problem.

Unfortunately, they were too afraid of making people feel like they did a bad job that you can literally place no furniture and the animals will all love your work and congratulate you on doing a great job. There is then no incentive to actually try, especially since it’s unlikely you’re going to visit all of the…

Will I actually be able to register now? I’m sorry, but the paid-for or dedicated e-mail requirement stops the vast majority of people from registering. I don’t go to college and I don’t have a work e-mail, so my only option is to pay for an e-mail account somewhere just to be able to join. I know they want to combat…

It was Xbox UK. Literally one community manager running one social media account made a joke and was forced to delete it. Why is everybody acting like Microsoft made this part of their official marketing strategy?

You’re missing the mark. It was Xbox UK that tweeted it, and they clearly stepped out of line since Microsoft’s strategy has been moving away from the console war. They’ve been praising Sony and Nintendo and literally congratulating people for buying PS5s. The community manager running the Xbox UK twitter account…
