Oof I wish Kotaku had downvotes. Bro, we’re talking about a video that people do for fun. They absolutely are allowed to critique it. The style in which they deliver that criticism is totally up to them, not you. You’re stance is basically “if I don’t think its worth complaining about, then no one else should complain…

you’d have a point there if it was a free-to-play MMO with some paid gambling system on the side aka loot boxes. But it’s actually a paid subscription game... one that actually requires you to pay up to 60 dollars upfront for the first month.
If I’m paying 60 plus 15 dollars a month then damn right I want the game to…

Oh, honey. No. Sit down.

How DARE people have opinions on something they bought!

Talking just as a player, I’m sympathetic to both things. (It’s not a contest, y’know?) I’m a WHM player and finally got AST to 70 a few weeks ago. I love healing and yeah, I really wanted a new healing class to switch things up.

But I also know a lot of folks eager to express themselves in FFXIV, and locking races to…

I would give, like, a 1000% chance that at some point in your life you have said “I’m a paying customer”/“we pay your salaries”/etc or you have mused about how fans should boycott a company that didn’t listen to fan/customer feedback after pissing off people similar to you. But when others do the same thing for a…

They had to take FFXIV 1.0 back to the studs and asphalt, after they borked the first release so badly.

This is incredibly asinine. It’s a subscription based MMO - so not only are players dropping $60 on an expansion, but also signing up to play for another two years @ $15 a month. You make it sound like their only options are to a). shut up and cough up the money or b). don’t play the game and move on. But these are…

A game that people pay 50 bucks for up front and 15 dollars a month to play is absolutely something that should be catered to them, henny. There's nothing wrong with criticizing a corporation for delivering against their consumerbase's wishes

Why are you so convinced that it's "false" outrage? Like, you don't have to agree or understand why it upsets people, but what makes you think they're *lying*?

There’s only one person here clutching their pearls and bemoaning the downfall of society, and it’s not Totilo. Thoughtful commentary is not outrage culture. “This is the stupidest goddamn controversy ever,” on the other hand, is

If it’s so trivial, why did they write the story this way? It seems pretty important to the story they’re telling, which means it’s not a trivial nitpick. It’s not the difference between “my character wore blue or red” it’s the direction of the character’s life in a role playing game that was VERY SERIOUS in its…

Why get so worked up? You’re way behind on your Assassin’s Creed lore. The animus hasn’t required ancestral connections for several games.  

Even though I doubt any good will come of this because it’s not like you’re actually willing to argue in good faith...

The problem with #notallmen is that it aligns itself too closely to the stranger rape theory....meaning that people who rape are shadowy figures who kidnap women, or brutalize them. Except that…

I think you might’ve overlooked a few things in the article, like power differentials—or the fact that too many men are willing to immediately go to the, “She’s just doing it for attention,” or, “she wanted it, she just regrets it now” route.

The power differential concern is particularly significant in the context of…

They said: “men’s issue”

Maybe because your comment is a note for note twin for just about every MRA comment that clogs these kinds of comment sections?

Ugh god.  Why not post #notallmen while you’re at it.

The problem is the low, low, low fucking standards that us men tend to hold for ourselves. Namely, that so long as I never “rape” anyone, as in drag a woman into the shadows and have my way with her, then I’m not a bad guy.

Damn that was an incredible article.
