My Opinion, its because people cannot separate the two entities. The game developers do not support, nor subscribe to JKR views. None of JKR’s views or ideals are represented in the game at all, but all people see is its tagged to HP so automatically its supporting JKR and her views. It’s not. It’s a game company,…

I would say the most influential and prominant transphobe in the world is Twitter owner Elon Musk.

The hoops were already there, I just moved the marker.

Carolyn, you really need to relax. You are reading WAY too deep into some of this shit. I get it, it’s cool to be on the Rowling hate train and Kotaku loves stirring up unnecessary controversies, but it’s okay to enjoy video games, even controversial ones, without the baggage of social commentary and toxic social…

#1 - Calling JK a “virulent transphobe” is a bit of an exaggeration, no? I suppose it’s subjective.

“Dummies Guide To: How Much Can We Milk the Harry Potter Controversy For Clicks”.

I don’t think the article does anything to convince the reader of the claim that more minority representation would lead to the show taking on a more Oscar-like sartorial bent. It feels like she just thought of that angle after the article was done and stuck it at the end. I’m not in games, but I am in software, and I…

Did they?! Ha I legit couldnt make it through a couple paragraphs. This is one of the most trash articles I have seen on here. I came straight to the comments after rolling my eyes on my first attempt to read it. Im super glad people are dragging the author for their garbage take.

The whole drip thing is stupid. I understand my parents pain of “young people these days" now. 

quoting your own tweet in your own article... classy.

Yep, out of all the current issues with the industry, game execs and designers not wearing enough couture is definitely pressing.

It’s bad enough that the Oscars and other awards shows are stuffy, elitist back-patting fluff. Let’s not turn TGA into that as well. If clothing designers want to dress attendees on their dime, fine. But this is all coming off as clothing-shaming as it is now.

Don’t really have anything to add to this other than: Bravo. This was one of the best reads I’ve seen on Kotaku in a long time. 

I mean, instead of warning people that what they are about to see might be unwatchable, why not make something visually coherent that adds something to the video?

People outside of America have no idea how big of a deal Mario Andretti, and the Andretti name is in this country. I can only think of a few references at the moment, but at least one country song says something like “Mario Andretti would have sure been proud” he is referenced in hip hop songs etc. His name is…

Fresh food is better…

“Cars ARE necessary, or at least hugely beneficial, for some parts of life, such as carrying bags of groceries home, or ferrying large and heavy items, or driving multiple members of your family/friends around.“

But you’re not “going grocery shopping”. You’re stopping to pick up something for supper. It’s fresher and on the way. 

Needing a car to transport large amounts of groceries is a anachronistic to owning a car. Instead of a few minute trip to load up on consumable goods such as produce or meat for the night at a local corner store. We choose to instead buy large amount of groceries all at once in a couple hour endeavor a couple times a…

The trailer on my bike would argue against all of this, except the moving multiple family members, we use extra bikes for that.
