I don’t think Eddie Murphy is going to be blacklisted for stuff he did 30+ years ago. This whole #metoo, “cancel culture” thing largely takes aim at stuff that’s currently happening, or stuff that happened in the recent past.

It’s fine to have opinions, but you should at least explain your reasoning. This is just lazy.

You put “public editor” in quotes, but this is a real position that really exists. This site is in desperate need of an adult.

Samer, if you’re going to see song lyrics as the title for a post, it wouldn’t hurt to make sure you’re actually getting those lyrics correct.

You also have someone deleting top-level comments critiquing the story, so there’s an intriguing dash of subterfuge as well.

I kept the comparison (between soccer and baseball rankings) on-topic. If you think it’s a dumb comparison because it doesn’t work with golf or tennis, sports not previously discussed in this story or in this thread, that’s entirely on you.

-I never saw the dramatic, over the top response that Deadspin keeps insisting it was pushing back against. I just saw commentators expressing disappointment at the dramatic, over the top celebrations.

Or if you’re going to be a shitbag, at least do it in an original way.

If these gadgets are provided to Kotaku writers as free-of-charge review units, it really ought to be noted somewhere in the story.

When it comes to stuff like this and the mechanical keyboards, do the companies send them to you or do you pay out of pocket?

You might want to do a tally of how many Cups Boston and Toronto have won, and then compare.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand hockey. The mechanics are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of cause and effect, most of the rationale for penalties will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also DeBrusk’s agitating style, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his…

I mean, the guy’s been around the pro game for years, acted as a coach and scout and won a Stanley Cup, but sure.
