The comments on the Jez article about interracial relationships in media was very telling. And ew, black fetishists.

Thank you, so much, for this article. I’m one of those black nerds who comes to Kotaku often to escape the absolute insanity of the country I live in, but I’m also one of those black citizens desperately searching for some way to make some kind of difference in the world. I want to do SOMETHING to improve this, but…

I thought I was pretty lucky to attend Ti5 and witness the events that unfolded there. At the time, I didnt think it could get any better for Dota - after catching the last 2 days of the stream, I really want to go to Ti8 or 9. Regardless of what team you root for, the energy that a great match can incite while being…

They do have names, and most old players call them by their name, actually. On Dota 1, It was always the first name, and the title. Anti-Mage is Magina, Crystal Maiden is Rylai, Queen of Pain is Akasha, and goes on... It was kinda lost on Dota 2 cuz many of them are Blizzard’s trademark, so had to make a few changes.

Massive produced tournament are surreal and odd ... Bring back The Wizard ... which was a massive produced tournament. SeemsGood

Hey cool... I can see myself dancing like a moron in the background at 0:38. :D

I’m not concern trolling. I want to find out what this actually does and everyone here seems to be more concerned with hyperbolic freakouts. The fines and jail time sound very bad but I can’t find anything in the bill that says that and no one will point me to where it is. The NY Times article said it was a thing but…

First: we’re allowed to make fun of people for doing stupid shit because freedom of expression is, like. A thing. (Doesn’t make it right or wrong; it just is what it is.)

Oh boy, a show about American slavery! From the people who brought you this!

Have you ever watched a volleyball match or gymnastics in which the women were wearing a thong?

OKAY! so many people basically just calling her an uppity negress but in coded terms. But we excel at coded language so we see right through the misogynoiristic bullshit

I’m guessing psychotic episode or bad reaction to narcotics.

You brought up Halsey lolololl

Jealous of what? Please enlighten me.

This is a really bad take on a great article.

So... I kinda find this angle very (ugh) problematic.

Hey man, whatever makes you feel superior to someone else. “People use words in ways I don’t like. That means I’m smarter than them.”
