I’m allowed to read “fuck,” “shit,” and “cocksucker” in any given article on Deadspin. I can read about an NFL security guard masturbating near a line of cheerleaders. I can watch a video of a guy eating a girl’s asshole in a Buffalo parking lot, and watch while a lady gives a man head in the bleachers of FedEx field.

You’d think they’d have found cause for both Pagano and Grigson after last season.

I’d say the reaction to a joke that was kinda clever, kinda meh, very harmless is perhaps a reason why Democrats lost the election.

this reaction to this joke is why democrats lost the election

“Typical. A little late tackling the O-ring problem.”

The internet and today’s culture so desperately wants to be offended by something. I don’t understand why, but it’s been that way for a while now.

This whole thing is frankly a bunch of kids who aren’t informed enough about actual recent American history but who are overly informed about the very recent and obscure history of GamerGate.

This is so dumb, I can’t believe we’re all paying attention to and commenting about this absolute nothing of a didn’t even happen. I’m almost embarrassed to be lumping this string of who even cares and needlessly deliberately chosen dog shit on top of this massive mound of move the fuck on.

If Nintendo wanted to avoid controversy, the simple solution would have been to use Shuffleghazi instead. /S

Can't we all just agree that both sides to this are annoying as fuck to read about on a daily basis ?

What a self-important piece of work she must be to think her episode is on a comparable level to Watergate and would warrant a spoof in a Nintendo game. Hopefully she realizes where the gate reference actually came from after this. Unreal.

one thing I always tell people is that you have the right to be offended by something but you don’t have the right to not be offended.

The fact a few people got so up in arms about this is plain stupid, to the point I was hoping there wouldn’t be a story on it. But the biggest thing I think that just makes me shake my head is after most people dug deeper and saw this was clearly a Watergate nod, the people championing it as a GG thing wouldn’t back…

Ugh for fucks sake, what a fucking non-controversy.

The fact that it is the ‘fairest’ doesn’t mean it’s immune the inherent issues that come with MT-based progression. I think a more intuitive system that doesn’t turn progression into either a test of patience or a gambling machine would be something that perhaps unlocked cosmetic content based on completing certain…

Jim Sterling’s video he did on this recently sums up my thoughts on the matter well-enough, and I highly recommend checking it out. Even if you don’t agree with his whole point I think it’s a perspective worth considering.

One thing I will say though is that it’s hard to see Overwatch’s Loot Box opening animation and…

I don’t think burners are the problem, they rarely make it out of the greys. I find the worst commenters I encounter repeatedly are some of the regulars.
