Yep. They will not define the terms of what is too far. 

So, thought experiment for Stephen Colbert, SE Cupp and all the commentariat:

This is EXACTLY the type of false equivalency i’m talking about. Even IF “half the articles here are racist and hateful against people that are white and rich,” (they are not) they’re not saying you should hate them for being white and rich, they’re saying you should hate them for being rich, white assholes who get…

Long-timers here are sick of me saying this, but if people had publicly shamed, confronted, or even punched one of my great-uncles, who were members of the Nazi Party, perhaps things would not have gotten as bad as they did for the German people.

Separating children from their families, putting them in prison, and then causing emotional damage to them that will last a lifetime after months in a controlled environment that they can’t contextualize or explain, with several recorded molestations: Okay.

If you actually care about someone like Tucker fucking Carlson experiencing even one tenth the appropriate blowback for the vile white supremacist bullshit he’s put out into the world for the entirety of his media career then I’m sorry but there is something seriously wrong with you.

police said they were investigating the incident as a hate crime because of “anti-political bias.”

And while all this is happening, I was just reading that Christine Blasey Ford has had to move four times since the Kavanaugh hearings (one month ago) due to threats against her and her family.

First of all, Tucker Carlson absolutely deserves this, and much more. His wife is complicit, too. They shouldn’t get to profit and live a life of luxury from being racists and bigots. They deserve to be dragged from their home and shot in the street.

Look, when you make a living dehumanizing people on a daily basis as Tucker does, he can’t be surprised when he and his are also dehumanized. Remember this is a guy who said the outrage over a murdered journalist is a game. So while I’d tell the protesters not to waste their time giving him the attention he wants,…

“I think Tucker is a terrible influence on modern America but that doesn’t justify harassing him at home.”

I was just ruminating on this today, wondering, “Am i a bad/hateful person?” and I wholeheartedly agree with this take. While it’s true that I don’t think you should harass public figures at their homes, when people are demonstrably monstrous... what the hell, why not? Why should they get to skate by, peddling their…

I’ll admit that inconveniencing Tucker’s home is wrong when the right puts a stop to police pulling me over for driving while black in a decent car, targeting blacks for drug crimes when they are no more likely to use or possess drugs than anyone else, beat non-threatening people, shoot unarmed black people, and white…

remember, kids: tucker carlson having a good nights sleep is scored significantly higher in value than jailing two year olds for being the wrong color

> If Carlson wants to eat dinner in peace, he should maybe just, I dunno, stop being a racist.

It boggles my mind that anyone has such faith in a major corporation. I said this in the other main Kotaku article about Diablo Immortal but I’ll repeat a bit: I’ve been playing Blizzard games for thousands of hours for 20 years. I do not give a shit about Blizzard, I don’t trust them, I don’t care about them but I…

...Are you just dumb or what? Not to be rude.

I know you’re just trying to get a rise out of me, but here’s a serious response: I try to never publish any unofficial information without hearing it from at least two independent sources, which is why we always tend to be right when we break news. (See: Fallout 76 being an online survival game, Mass Effect Andromeda …

Good thoughts on how Blizzard could have spun the news better. I would chalk up most of the reaction to an intense dislike and distrust of mobile gaming, its associated monetization practices, and generally simpler play schemes. People don’t want to see their favorite companies or IPs invested that way.
