I’m not Canadian, so I’ll ignore this whole debate on whether Canada has free or limited speech, but in the case of the guy in the article, Twitch, like any other website has terms of service, which includes not doing the things listed in this article. His crime was repeatedly and egregiously violating the terms of…

You’re kinda moving the goalposts here. The other person said they have free speech, while you responded it doesn’t count because it’s not absolute.
Jesus, how is it so hard for you to understand this? This is a gaming news website. They report on news that is relevant to gaming. Not all of it is going to be stuff you want to read. This isn’t Boing Boing Zoom’s Interests Only News. But there’s a quick fix: scroll to the next article. That way you move on to…
“Nobody comes for stuff like this.”
Your comment reminds me of the people who throw a fit whenever a game gets “political,” as if video games can never be more than meaningless toys for killing time.
Correction: You don’t want to know this stuff. Look at the votes for your initial comment and the one that counters it. You’re losing 1o to 1, which means the vast majority of us do want to know about this stuff. Perhaps you need to seek out a more myopic gaming site to suit your limited window of acceptable topics.
Kotaku is journalism above all things. That includes stuff like this. Games journalism shouldn’t have to be reduced to reviews, previews, and fluff.
Cover your eyes and scream “lalalalala” and pretend harassment doesn’t happen in the industry.
“ugh why do people keep reporting on all this child molesting. I just want to enjoy college football. Go Penn State!” - how you sound.
Speak for yourself. This stuff matters. You don’t want to read it? Click on something else then.
Counterpoint: fuck you and your willful ignorance
I don’t know why you are attempting to speak for millions of people, but try not doing that. Also try other game websites, or the newest, magical power that allows you to avoid articles that -to you- are not ‘proper reporting’. It’s called scrolling, truly a gift from the Gods/Goddess/Flying Pasta Monster/etc.
Kotaku has always tried to feature a variety of stories on their homepage, some good and light reading while others on negative or serious topics (and a lot better ratio of positive over negative stories than most other MS news sites imo.) With a topic that has gotten as large and diverse as gaming, there’s going to…
Stories about shitty studio practices should be right at the top of any gaming-related site. If those people are whistleblowing in hope of improving their work conditions, every site should make it a top priority to cover the story.
The industry should improve and the only way for that to happen is by spreading…
>Tell me again what these people will bring to the table?
No, actually they don’t. A business can can you for saying or publishing whatever they want, same as a website banning you. Only the government is held to the first amendment.
I was unaware that they’d made Blizzard a part of the government...
I don’t think it’s particularly self-righteous to believe that deliberately shit-posting hate speech, hateful memes, or much of anything else that’s designed to shit on another human being “FOR THE LOLS” isn’t a good thing.
But, hey, keep looking for moral equivocation between people who think “muh freeze peach” is a…
