This comment made me watch that video. -.-

Hrm, you were emotionally manipulative (threatening suicide over recs or some kinja bullshit) in an environment full of victims of emotional abuse. Don’t gloss.

Too bad you’re banned from Jezebel, you can leave their shit over there.

Not true. Seinfeld played my college homecoming game when I was a freshman. Sexist af is what I remember, there was probably other stuff in there I don’t. But it was all for the frat boys, I’m pretty there were rape jokes because I was uncomfortable all the way through, and at that point in my life I probably…

No, if there was “fun” it would still show up in the comments because as noted, this site doesn’t have moderators. This guy gets just off on saying this shit on all the posts in order to make it seem like he’s the only one in control. It’s almost like he’s a bit...authoritarian.

Libertarians started the Tea Party and then willingly stood by as it was co-opted the religious conservative nutbags, and then when called on it said, “What, there was nothing we could do! That’s why we spend all our time talking about True Libertarians!”

I also read that at the end of the infamous PewDiePie video the guys also hold up a card saying something like, “said by [well known racist youtuber].” As in, he was doing a joke about fiverr but also calling out a specific youtuber who *would* actually say “death to all jews.” Yet I read that on a liberal gaming…

I don’t even know. Patricia Hernandez is the one who introduced Pewdiepie and gaming vloggers to the Kotaku audience. The mission statement of the site is to write about gaming culture. If that doesn’t take nuance I don’t know what does. Not knowing the basics of the culture surrounding this incident is fake and…

Vlogger fueds are the cornerstone of the youtube model though. It would be shocking if they weren’t making videos in response to the pewdiepie controversy.

Yeah, I agree with you. I saw one of the Symmetra ones, it eliminated her unique facial characteristics and she was in some sexually coquettish pose that contradicted Symmetra’s personality. When called on it one of the writer’s was just like, “What, I don’t see the problem...”

That’s my question too.

Nice idea if you guys had the credibility you once had. Now I’m afraid that anything true that gets printed here first will be buried out of disinterest before it could even reach simple discussion status, let alone controversial conspiracy theory level. Even the Slot is only useful for providing links to credible…

Wow, now that’s classic gamer. A whiny ass white guy over 30 who still doesn’t know how to dress himself and doesn’t know how to conduct himself with dignity or respect towards others.

That’s a weak argument though, since she’s his doctor - in storytelling terms that means his fixer-upper no matter what the problem is, and also since a lot of the OW characters have prosthetics for combat purposes presumably from the same tech, and since in another interaction she suggests replacing Ana’s eye with…

Yeah but Blizz does random things with characters and then tries to create a storyline for them later that just makes it all seem like a big mess, I think this was just another example in the making. Like, Jaina in WOW is basically Female Character Tropes Randomized As Needed Per Xpac. They’ve already had to…

Mercy = Overwatch Barbie. Without any of the movies or anything, just the doll. I ship her and Genji mostly because the canon’s leaned towards it all along. Otherwise it’s uninteresting to me.

Gaming culture is pretty much consistent across the board, depending on type of game. Sweden/Norway/Finland would get put onto EU servers, like for Overwatch. I don’t know for sure but I bet if you did a filter of all the sexual harassment complaint posts on the Overwatch subreddit, which aren’t many because they…

I watched some of the video again, this guy doesn’t seem to be staying on the info page long enough to get any information from it. Probably just a button press tic he picked up. Like I will move left and right because I picked that up as a resto druid in WOW. A friend will constantly do the crouch/teabagging move…

Oh yeah I agree. I hate playing Reinhardt in solo queue. I’ll be that Rein heading to the point with my entire team behind me, get trounced by five enemies and out of the corner of my screen see my team had started chasing a Sombra to the other side of the map. That is the most unfun thing in the game, Doomfist…
