For what it’s worth, as a nameless, faceless anonymous person on the internet, you’re one of the few writers in this entire business I respect. Not just enjoy, but actually respect. As a black woman doing what you do, I can imagine there is a heavy amount of choosing your words carefully lest you dump napalm on an…

The moment anything they like is questioned in any regard, whether it be lack of LGBT+ characters or non-White Guy leads, it’s the same as a personal insult to them

I’m a bog standard cishet white nerd, and thank you for writing this.

It’s a violent response to a change in the status quo. When you’ve been at the top of the social food chain for basically forever, and suddenly society decides it needs to be more equitable to everyone, and you have no understanding of why history shaped things as they are, you may honestly believe you had a god-given…

Gita, thanks for doing all you do. As a black #90skid who’s been playing games his whole life, I was obviously aware of the lack of representation in the titles I played but I got conditioned to believe, well, that’s just how it is. Hell, the highest-profile black character back then was Barret Wallace, and as…

I have a friend who desperately needs to apply this to their love of the Zelda series and pretty much any Anime. It’s like, you can’t say that Zelda is anything less than perfect otherwise she feels like she’s being attacked personally. It’s fucking exhausting because sometimes I just want to talk about how shit some…

I have read many articles by you Gita and you have never seemed angry or trying to bait any one, I hope you keep writing about race and gender. I look forward to your next article, this was a very good read.

Your pieces always give me something to think about and I agree that it’s important to both:

A couple of things to consider (this ended up being a longer post than I thought it would; I know, a long-winded Arnheim post—shocking):

1.) Most people don’t understand that argument—at least in the academic sense—is an intellectual exercise as often as it’s intended to actually shift a person’s perspective on a given…

This entire article could be applied to those of any minority group. People are still incredibly angry at Doctor Who having a female lead for crying out loud.

Those people aren’t reading the article, and they aren’t interested in what the article is actually about. They see a title like “Sadly, It’s Surprising That There Are Two Black Women in Apex Legends”, they look at your picture, and they start to yell. I applaud your earnest interest in trying to converse with and…

Thank you for your honest discussion on this. Personally, and as a white male this comes from an absolute place of privilege, I love seeing discussion around race, sexuality, and many other topics in my preferred entertainment mediums. It is more interesting to me to read your articles on Overwatch or Apex Legends…

Gita, thank you. I can’t say I always see eye to eye with staff writers, but I can wholeheartedly say that Kotaku is a better place for having you here and that your efforts make a difference, each and every day. Your perspectives matter and it makes all of us a little smarter, more empathetic, and wiser each read. Tha…

Game has taken too long and they keep changing their roadmap. I don’t foresee this ending.

It is super easy to snark about release dates because RSI/Cloud Imperium are astoundingly good at not caring about release dates to the point of mockery.  This is self inflicted.

the greatest grift of our time. respekt to a real one.

I’ve been following the progress loosely, since following something like a video game closely is like watching a pot of water boil for X years. Their recent tech improvements are pretty amazing... but the Lorville livestreams they showed are much more impressive than this trailer. I guess that wasn’t covered. Easier…

If it makes you feel better, in a couple of weeks RDR2's mountain lions will make you forget all about them.
