How did this “make light of rape,” exactly? All I see is mockery of Kotaku’s infusion of progressive gender politics into video game journalism.

Why? Do you hate Caucasians?

When it is sponsored cosplay and the “model” doesn’t even know what character she’s playing? Yeah, turn that shit down and treat it like the crap it is. He was getting calls from advertising arms of various companies, not from dedicated fan cosplayers.

Gotta say, I don’t think most cosplayers do deserve to be reimbursed for their time and effort. I hate that something that started out as fans making costumes in their free time is now being turned into a showcase for professionals.

“Sexual violence is incredibly common. Crap like this contributes to that.”

My 100$ tablet can emulate ps1 games but a Nintendo 3ds can't emulate snes games. Yeah sure.

As long as it’s not a cell phone game, yes please.

you need to alpha up your beta game

Someone was emotionally stunted as a child.

ALL FEMALES CHEAT. That’s a FACT.

Hey Kirk, remember when I was laying odds on how quick we were gonna get this comment?

Referring to women as “females” definitely helps your credibility here...

How does someone write a letter like that without already buying a plane ticket?
