I mean, look at the push back I’ve been getting from my initial comment! And the knee jerk reaction to absolve Democrats of racism by bringing up tangential issues makes me feel like people are being purposely obtuse or just really do not know how to face, or feel uncomfortable facing, racism in the left.

Hmmmmmm, can I imagine it worse...you’re asking a black person if she can imagine an existence for black people worse than multiple Scalias on the Supreme Court....

The funny thing is with legalization there’s still rampant racism when it comes to starting a “green” business. In CO, for example, you cannot have a charge for drugs on your record (this includes people who were caught with joints) and since drug arrests target largely black and brown people, many (black)…

Quick, someone write a book about it! Call it...hermmm.. the New Jim Crow?

Sounds to me a bit like he’s lighting a fire under Senate Republicans - “If you just sit on this candidate until November and I get elected, you might be stuck with whichever progressive judge I nominate.”

Citizens United is the litmus test for a lot of us, and this guy fails; he would not overturn it. Whatever you want to label him, he’s on the side of the oligarchy on that decision. I think Sanders’ position is the only one an actual progressive can fairly take.

You’re a poor liar. You’ve been pro-harassment in this very thread. Who do you think you’re fooling? Who are you putting on this act for? Your fellow GG scum already believe you.

Wow, what a lovely dishonest false equivalence. Shame it’s 100% false. Your ideological bigotry is relevant. Most Muslims do not share the ideology of Daesh. You do share the ideology of the rest of the disgusting people you’ve repeatedly chosen to identify with and shown by your own actions that you hold the same…

Choke on your bigotry you disgusting human being. You’re a disgrace to the Irish ethnicity.

“And the result was dragon age 3 which felt boring, unrealistic and stale. They basically removed everything regarding homophobia, racism etc. They made some Utopian fantasy world which just felt really boring”

So you really believe Nintendo is actively flushing money down the drain so they can retain a family friendly image? Ok.

Sure, but you can’t blame this on Kotaku or any other games journalism site. It’s not Kotaku’s job to report on child sex abuse. Blame normal media outlets, or the public, or whoever.

Gamergate was idiotic. Everyone who was pro-GG was an idiot. The whole movement was idiotic. Every normal person knows this. Anyone who is still dumb enough to support gamergate is not going to have their minds changed because, as noted above, they are idiots. This piece was well-written and a good read, but I worry…

I’m constantly disgusted that this cancer has made its way into an industry I care so much about.

What Nintendo is doing is not censorship. It’s content curation that they’re entitled to do on THEIR product. They’re not curtailing anyone’s speech.

GamerGate still is a very real thing when people still actively use the tag and stomping grounds to harass women like Alison. It’s still not over for the people who are being harassed by them.

So wait, they’re angry that unnecessary objectification and sexualization is being removed from their games, so they’re accusing one of the people who works on the games of... sexualizing and objectifying characters?

That must be what heaven looks like.

Sigh. I’m now regretting my decision to learn Unity over Unreal Engine.
