My favorite book fair books were the Wayside School series. I’ve got really great childhood memories of the fair rolling through school.

I finished a read of the entire Animorphs series in September and DAMN does that saga get real and dark by its end. Holy shit, talk about your deconstructions. If I had finished them in grade school I would have come out a little traumatized.

The term ‘fag’ is widely used as a general insult and often-times when it’s used, it’s not targeting that specific group of people.

It’s an insult because it’s calling the target gay. Its use is inherently homophobic.

It is homophobic. It is derogatory in any context outside of describing a cigarette outside of England. Replace the F word with the N word, and you should understand better.

it wasn’t ‘directed at an entire group of people who have a sexual orientation that differs from my own’

2018 Compensation of Top Activision Executives:

While our financial results for 2018 were the best in our history, we didn’t realize our full potential.

Exactly! It’s just like what I told the judge--when a doctor swings a scalpel around near small children, he’s a pediatric surgeon, but when I do it, suddenly I’m a homicidal maniac! Either be offended by both or be offended by neither, “YOUR HONOR”!

History has nothing to do with this.

I always look forward to a spat of interesting articles to read whenever I see your name pop up on the Kotaku feed.  Keep up the great writing!

I cannot and will never agree with this. It’s just another kind of gatekeeping. Folks can play what they want. Speedrunners ain’t hurting anyone by using glitches. Pulling off a glitch is just as much (sometime more!) a “real-time demonstration of skill” as anything else.

I hear this one on nearly every speedrunning post I do and my response is always that these tricks take tons of practice to perform and these runners are infinite more knowledge about the games they run than you or me will ever be in pretty much anything.

Jimmy Savile, Jerry Sandusky and Michael Jackson used charity as a way to rise above suspicion while getting access to a vulnerable pool of potential victims, and increase the odds that anyone who could catch them in the act had a reason to look the other way. The facility is fine only as long as Tyler isn’t allowed…

By the time I was 16, I’d endured years of: misogynistic tirades from my father who called me a prostitute when I was in second grade (learned a new word that day!); ongoing paranoia from both my parents that I’d have sex despite not knowing what sex was at the time (lower elementary school); bullying at school from…

This reply confirms you are a sack of fucking garbage.

Nah, fuck off. I’ll keep speaking against it. You can keep your nihilistic view of it all, I’ll try to change things and minds. Sound good?

No, you wished for extra-judicial justice in hoping that a subpar prison system would damage this person physically. You’re the one saying that prisoners don’t deserve rights because of the crimes they have committed. This guy deserves to do time for his crime, but he also deserves the rights the constitution provides…
