Falling in love with your teacher is a common western trope too...

its BECAUSE they’re frowned upon, Taboo sells well in japan

Yes, the floodgate has opened and the stories are coming out. We haven’t heard as many of them in the video game industry yet, but they’re coming. Kotaku is actively working on several investigations right now that will hopefully lead to more harassment getting exposed. (And of course, if anyone reading this has any…

I’ve been enjoying it during my morning commute, if I’m not in the mood for Stardew Valley. It only runs at 30FPS and the visuals aren’t as crisp as the Playstation 4's but it seems like a decent port.

Right. It requires a game world that’s easier to read and navigate, and earlier AC games weren’t always. Nor were most of the other open-world games in this article. Removing the mini-map from a game like Red Dead Redemption is definitely not something I’d recommend for everyone, because the game was designed with the…

100% agree. There’s literally 0 reason to just not have it be its own toggle. BotW might be the only game where I’m OK without a minimap since you really can get anywhere you see since you have climbing, but other games where you might have to navigate around certain spots since you can’t climb? Mini-map is so useful…

Hope you feel like playing Call of Duty and Madden for the next 6 months.

Dear Cecilia. I see you have made a lighthearted statement on the internet. Please see below for my ten-page, point-by-point counterargument, sprinkled with ad hominems, which I have posted below and also mailed to your office in hard copy. Please advise as to when I should expect my apology.

I actually compete at Smash monthly. And I enjoy how seriously you are taking this very, very serious list. Have a great day, IceSprite!

It’s kinda sad that he has the power to influence the minds of young kids that watch his content. They’ll think the N-word is something that should be thrown around with no consequence.

I guess we’ll find out in due time. But I’m pretty sure JonTron will be the first to step up to the plate.

This, right here, is the important part. Kjellberg’s reach/ability to influence his audience is the primary reason why he has to be even more responsible for his words and actions (on stream, anyway; I’m not going to bang on about the guy’s private life).

From what I understand, a sizeable percentage of his fanbase is…

B-b-b-but it was just a “heated gaming moment.”

The dude that had no idea that nazis were bad is using the n-word casually? You don’t say. I wonder how many YouTube personalities will rally to him this time? And I wonder if they’re rallying because they have the same beliefs as this racist that claims he isn’t?

Hmmm, I wanna be with someone warm who will treat me right...buttttt

Or how about, and now hear me out on this, people treat other people (especially men treating women) with a little bit of respect. The internet isn’t some sort of magical portal that allows you to say things you wouldn’t in real life. Professional or not, “sliding into a woman’s DMs” and acting like a creep is, well,…

Gita, yeah. I hope she feels a little safer with this out.

Yeah I read rumors that the McElroy’s were all furious when they heard about this. This is just incredibly depressing for everyone involved. It’s like this ball of anger at Nick for being such a piece of shit while being incredibly sad since he has made so many things that I love. Just ugh this situation. Ugh

When I first heard the news, I was under the impression that this was related to a singular incident that the higher ups at Polygon were investigating. That lead me to a Neogaf thread where I saw it was a MUCH more widespread issue, to the point that his other podcast cohosts have cut ties with him. I want to believe…

Manipulative people of all genders do this, though. True, however, that women are typically the target.
