This article should be on Jezebel.

I understand how it may feel for victims of domestic abuse to watch this defamation trial and see how it ended. However, to equate the results of this particular trial with erasing the progress that has since been made from Gamergate and the Me Too movement is absurd.

We’ll never know what truly went on in their relationship (we weren’t there) but in all this the thing I always found shocking was how tied to the idea either of them were innocent flowers so many were and also how a case between two professional liars with millions behind them was turned into the pivotal instance of…

She is vilified not because she is ‘not perfect’ or that because she ‘misspoke because it was painful’, but because it was proven that she has repeatedly lied and manipulated many people around her. And, what is even more important, it was clearly shown before the court that she abused him as well. For crying out…

Or, not everything is about some bigger issue, and this is specifically about her being an abusive, awful person. Depp also was clearly awful and probably abusive, that doesn’t make her less awful.

Do you consider Depp ‘imperfect’? This seems to majorly downplay abuse just because it’s coming from a woman.

Someone didn't watch the court case 🤦‍♂️

Wow.
Russian disinfo got all the way to Kotaku?
GREAT JOB GUYS! GREAT SITE!
Also?
GODISMYSTR?
You’re wrong. You’ve been lied to.
I was going to try and write something sarcastic and ‘clever,’ but your comment is so steeped in the propaganda you’ve been fed it breaks my heart.

Normally I’m just whatever to slideshows, but THIS column has never been one and it has SO MANY entries...no.  Just. No.

As he was able to move the door it must have been the door between the cabin and passenger area-  

I was always under the impression that you simply couldn’t open those passenger / emergency exist doors while the plane was in flight. Maybe the plastic cover of the door moved a couple inches, but I doubt the door itself did.

This is really lazy “journalism” because this article isn’t even about campaign 3 or Marquet. There are no examples cited as the “problem” from the actual campaign. They whole argument is based on the intro video and the cast members dressed up as “explorers”, which was shot with the intention of being spoiler free…

“It is no longer just a group of friends. It was never just a game.”

This is one of the worst takes I have ever seen.

In the same vein as the criticisms this article makes: Kotaku could have taken the opportunity to point out other live play streams or other games that in their view appropriately explore these themes or more prominently feature people with relevant backgrounds.

Kotaku chose not to do so.

In the instance of both…

A bunch of white people start streaming their home game 5 years ago, become wildly popular, and now they’re not allowed to do anything that anyone else playing D&D are allowed to do ever again.

“This may seem like an overly cynical and bad-faith interpretation of what Critical Role is doing with this new campaign.”

You really need to take a look at yourself and find out what is wrong if this is the take you get. The exact same thing could be said for the cultural inspirations used in the locations for the first and second campaign. You are literally just virtue signaling in hopes of getting some clicks from something popular. I…

In role-playing games with predominantly white players, even with the most intricately built worlds there is still a lack of connection between the cultures they play in and the way they play their characters. The characters (and people playing them) are untouched by the world in which they exist, with most of their…
