If they didn’t put her in the car perhaps that tells you all you need know about how much she earned her spot and how prepared she was to drive competitively at any given moment.

Again, it was all for PR. What if she started the race and was several seconds a lap slower than everyone else in a car that was fairly competitive? Imagine all of the negative press that would have invited.

All this was, was part of a larger strategy for encouraging girls to enter motorsport. None of the women that…

They didn’t screw her. They spared her.

I think she was only technically called a spare driver so that she could run in free practices occasionally. She might have been only a couple tenths off Massa in a practice session, but she did her runs on the fastest tires and with minimal fuel. Massa on the other hand, put in…

“ensconced in a secret, private listserv where they happily jerk each other off about how great they are is pretty much the epitome of the problem.”

Ohh I’m sorry I thought we were talking about the former gawker sites for a second.

You see, my comment was regarding the comment section of the article! But why bother asking when you can just jump to conclusions!

Worry that Naughty Dog might tell the story they want to tell, that millions of people are willing to fork over their money to experience?

HOW DARE THEY!?

Do you know how future developers will fix this? Make characters like Ellie straight. If people are never going to be happy with the stories you tell using LGBTQ+…

how did she get screwed? She didn’t exactly earn the spot to begin with.

An overwhelming majority of “straight” (being narratives in which a character’s sexuality has any part in it) narratives end in-or thrive off - violence. What’s your point?

It’s like you sit down and think of all of the queer narratives where characters suffer and don’t think to take your blinders off and look at the…

What percentage of straight characters get to be happy? I’m not sure it’s much higher than the 10% you’re saying queer characters get to be. There’s just less openly queer characters.

The game isn’t even out and people are criticizing Naughty Dog for the death of a character that they don’t even know will die?

Ohh fuck off.

You do realize you’re demanding the exact opposite of what Robertson is asking for, right?

You’re part of the problem.

No shit.

He can’t manufacture drama if no one reports on it. But then you’d be out of a job, wouldn’t you?

Hmm... It’s like you’re part of the problem.

Do you honestly think he’s making a difference posting articles on the root? The vast majority of people who read root articles are racists that already hate white people. All these articles do is help validate their racism.

News media is never supposed to engage in civil disobedience.

So you’d have no problem posting the phone numbers and addresses of Splinter’s staff? They are public figures after all.

Yeah, no. Someone that wealthy has no trouble getting laid. Let’s be realistic here.

Is this a fire sale? Because it sounds like a fire sale.

Most domestic violence perpetrators are women.

Are we supposed to apologize for remaining unconvinced that “sorry” is supposed to be pronounced the exact same way “fuck you” is pronounced?
