I replied to your other comment. You purposely only show half the story. The other half shows how the in game pricing impacts the number of hours and grind you need to do to earn enough for a car.

That’s obviously not true. Either you don’t understand what I’m talking about re: Elden Ring, or you’re fooling yourself about GT.

It’s because people want progression ASAP.

Why lead with her trans status? It has nothing to do with the story. Their place in society won’t be normalized until writers like you stop making it their lead identifier. Being a Jeopardy champion is way more interesting.

You’re reading a lot into an opinion and it’s not even a STRONG opinion.

This is fair and sort of what I was trying to drive at. How much, culturally, does a Black American have in common with, say, a Black Egyptian?

What is “essential Blackness”? Are there things that a character must touch on in order to be authentic?

I guess these are mostly rhetorical, but it seems like there’s no clear…

I had the exact same thoughts! The idea that all black people share the same culture is clearly absurd - possibly the author is so American-centric that he overlooks the fact that American blacks comprise about 1% of all blacks in the world.

‘Nuances in the voice’? Really? I know a black person whose native language…

Regions with high vaccination rates are having corona spikes right now. In my country 92 % of adults are vaccinated and we have the highest number of cases since 2020 and rising. Gibraltar with 100 % is going into semi-lockdown. So it doesn’t seem like the lower viral load from vaccines is making much of a difference.…

This is purely anecdotal, but the people I’ve spoken with in regards to the special and it’s backlash - and they’re all of different minds - the ones who felt the most outraged didn’t even watch it.

I think the issue is that, mainly since the election of George W, though it may go back to Clinton, is that EVERYTHING is hyper partisan when it comes to anything political, and the same with religion to some extent. I am opposite of you, life long Republican, well more specifically Libertarian which may be better or…

As a lifelong Democrat can I just say that the liberal bias in media has grown beyond tiresome. Roughly 50% of the US population is conservative. Conservatism includes a large swath of beliefs and opinions and yet anyone who so much as questions the most progressive views is instantly labeled a MAGA Nazi. Whatever…

In theory you have a point.  But in practice, there’s never been a successful boycott of a video game.  Ever.  People will yell, and stomp their feet, and bluster about a boycott, but in the end, they’ll buy the game anyway.  And no, I know, that doesn’t apply to everyone, but it does apply to the majority.   So in…

It’s a bit entitled to think that you, the One Customer, are the only arbiter of good and evil by “voting with your wallet”. Frankly, it’s a rather capitalist, primarily American perspective.

simply remove kotaku from your favs and never come back. What better way of showing them this is crap article click bait by making a revolution. It is not like we can’t find this info somewhere else. It is sad, kotaku used to be my fav gaming website.... great articles, open minded and usually brought everyone…

The title makes me smh. Some articles should point out race, but this one is not needed. You could just say:

First let me say thank you for a well written response to my initial statement. Mature discourse is harder and harder to come by these days. :)

I’m not gonna lie, I am pro-choice, I think his opinion is gross and immoral and I see the point in many of the posts in this thread... but I’m still conflicted about this one.

So I guess when Tripwire has the town hall to allow all their employees to voice their opinions and be inclusive, they only really want to hear from you if you share the exact same opinion as them....

Kids shouldn’t be exposed to any of it, they should be afforded the same opportunities I had as a kid. The only thing I’ll ever wonder about this “convo” later is, how I thought I made a pretty salient point about there being no connection to a political issue being pushed onto something very non-political and being…

Yeaaaah...that’s pretty much all cherry picked bullshit lol.
