coming to the comments trying to dictate what to mention and what not in the article is not “constructive criticism” my dude. If Chris G actions are brought up every time we talk about the fighting game community and its relationship with minorities, it’s his own damn fault and he deserves it.
He’s interested in punishment. That’s it. His entire mindset is based around elevating himself by bringing others down. It’s textbook narcissism: He denies his crippling insecurity by finding ways to cast others as less than—if he can see someone as inferior to him, then they can’t hurt his fragile ego. This is the…
Has anyone in that family ever acknowledged or apologized for their horrendous civil rights record or the treatment of the LGBT community or the complete disregard for the HIV/AIDS epidemic at the time?
WTF?
My guess would be that in a briefing he said something along the lines of “Can’t we just crush them with the military?” and then his henchmen started digging in books to find anything that could possibly give him that authority.
Thank you. And to anyone asking “what does this have to do with video games?": Fuck you indeed.
He didn’t know that act, Miller did.
If anybody deserves The Full Mussolini, it’s Dump.
Yes!!! I’ve been waiting all day for this article and so glad you were the one to write it, Michael! I hate-read the Deadspin article with a mixture of fascination (that someone actually approved publication) and anger (mostly anger). One of the worst takes on the Fed-Uprising yet
Before anyone screeches out that ALL LIVES MATTER, I’ll simply point out that it’s not about all lives. It’s about Black Lives that have yet to have any degree of equality to white people. When was the last time a white person, pulled over for a routine traffic stop felt that this was the night they might die? Until a…
There cannot be peace for all until there is first justice for all. Thank you.
Good on you for posting this knowing well there will be lots of people screeching about “I come to Kotaku for games journalism, not social justice”. Everyone needs to pay attention, all ages, all races, all religions. Only when people are paying attention will they actually comprehend what is going on around them.
They’re usually more than happy to do it.
There’s nothing like watching a nincompoop expose themselves to the world without any unnecessary prompting or reason behind it.
What can he say after all? He doesn’t have the capacity to actually lead a nation. We all knew that in 2016. That we got this far before the country faced major crisis was just the luck of the draw. There was little doubt that if and when the country looked to him for real leadership, he could rise to the challenge.…
Police are supposed to be Peace Officers, not soldiers in an occupying army. Firing in to a crowd is a total betrayal. We as citizens pay for and entrust cops to enforce the law and maintain the peace. When they start killing people on the streets, they lose all legitimacy. As officers, they have the full power of the…
...there is no reason for violence.
Amy Klobuchar needs to take several seats. Kamala Harris was punished for her prosecutorial record. Klobuchar was criticized but she skated by and continue to run until the last legs of primary. Meanwhile, Ms. Minnesota nice was sitting on a powder keg of state sanctioned police brutality. She does not get to have a…
