If only this site wasn’t a shell of its former self - this would have been a fantastic comments section back in the day.

What these companies need to do is hire lots of moderators (so complaints can be dealt with quickly) train them well, audit their decisions, and pay the best most productive ones excellent salaries. Do that, and the problem disappears. Not a single big corporation has EVER done moderation properly, and no, AI isn’t…

May this film tank at the box office and may Cawthon fade into obscurity as he rightly deserves.

Yeah why is it always the palm! Such an impractical choice.

I’m not buying it, but it’s funny that there’s no consequences for immoral actions. Just like JK’s life!

It’s hard for trans people to ‘just ignore’ an extremely famous woman that would literally prefer it if they didn’t exist and who literally cannot shut up about it on her extremely huge public platforms. Why can’t JK ‘just ignore’ trans people and be content with being an ultra-rich author? Let me guess, you’re a…

Truly wish I could un-buy the books. Giving her money is supporting genocide so if you wanna play the game please pirate it alright? She’s fine, she doesn’t need your money. Honestly, Diane Duane’s Young Wizards books are SO MUCH better than the H.P books, just buy those instead and get into a new IP instead of giving…

Not sure who I care less about, the rich people dumb enough to shill apes or the morons dumb enough to buy nothing and get an ape jpeg as a receipt.

A VPN is cheaper and more useful.

I’m not concerned about being cancelled because I conduct myself in a respectful manner to people and don’t treat anyone unfairly. Most of the complaining I’ve seen about it comes from the right wing, who are just ever so concerned that their personal philosophies of hatred and prejudice might one day have a personal…

Giving notes like you describe and humiliating a child by saying their notes are so voluminous it would take all day to read them in front of the entire cast and crew are two different things.

I’m still shadowbanned from commenting on these I think, but in case anyone can see this, Kinja Deals is internet pollution, it shouldn't exist, and the people who work on it are scum.

I’m a white guy and I’m totally fine with the stuff that Chapelle has said about my cohort. Historically, we’re cartoonishly evil and I’m totally okay with people riffing on that. There’s not already a cultural attitude that it’s okay to scream insults at me, assault me, etc. My white male cis-ness gives me privilege…

I just wanted to see if anyone agrees with me. Streamers are bullshit. The more popular they are, the less I care about the idiotic things that spill out of their mouths. Trash talk is for children and people that enjoy it are either children themselves or mentally deficient. Cruelty is only funny to morons. All this…

If it involves streamers, it’s not news. This guy screaming abuse at people isn’t news (ffs a huge number of gamers are assholes, do we not collectively understand this already?) and his being banned for it isn’t news either (play stupid games, win stupid prizes)

If you think it’s too expensive pirate it or don’t play it. I’m gonna buy it because I like the story and characters of the original HZD and I want more of that, and I trust the studio to build on what came before and do as good a job or better. Yeah, games are expensive, it’s an expensive hobby. I only buy a few AAA…

Ehh, in the YA landscape they’re B+ at best. Diane Duane is better, John Bellairs is better, Monica Hughes is better, Madeline L’Engle is better, Philip Pullman is WAY better. Sure, JK is popular but as far as her writing goes there's much richer soil for young minds to take root in.

This website died here.

I’m glad I never watched the movies, because it means my only nostalgia for the series is for the books, and honestly they’re not that great anyway. Diane Duane’s Young Wizards series is far superior. TERF lady's not getting a cent more of my money, ever.

Uncritically repeating ‘piracy loss’ figures is bad reporting. There's no way to know with accuracy how many copies were pirated, and definitely no way to know how many pirates would have paid or been able to pay if they hadn't gotten a pirate copy, so the 'losses' suffered are largely hypothetical. If you think…
