The Democratic establishment did about what you would expect them to - they rallied to their own interests. The better question is, why did the voters rally to them? Honestly, I think the fault lies with Sanders, because he’s largely failed to expand beyond his core supporters. He’s done little to try and win over the…

Yes and no.

“How can I be racist? We had slaves!”

“Hi, all you guys are wrong. Convince me otherwise.”

This has been one of the more interesting things I can remember happening since I started following speedrunning. Even when watching people run entirely unrelated games, it’s been consistently brought up by viewers and runners. I’ve watched people talk themselves in and out of different schools of thought. Like, where…

If it helps to understand why you came off as a dick, imagine walking up to a group of people having a conversation in real life about speedrunning, and saying the same thing.

That’s why there are categories for speed running. If “reach the credits as fast as possible, by any means necessary” is a popular method, it becomes a category. It’s a popular method, so it’s a category.

Limiting how other people enjoy games is not a legitimate Kotaku comment. Change my mind.

You don’t want your mind changed.

Aside from that, there’s specific categories for these types of things. If you’re a “purist” that believes it can’t be tool assisted, manipulated, or things such as movement exploits a la flying in Fallout then there’s a category for you. Those of us that want no tools but other…

You want me to convince you that your arbitrarily chosen definition for a made-up term that already has multiple definitions is incorrect?

And? If I threaten someone in my office, I’m going to lose my source of income really damn fast. What’s your point?

Which doesn’t make the penalty out of line, it just means he’s a moron for jeopardizing his income by being way out of line.

Again, by analogy if someone goes around threatening and harassing people at work, they deserve to get fired.

I mean, half the stuff influencers/streamers/social media whatevers do, is the same stuff artists and musicians have to do to get their stuff out there. And I can say from personal experience, a lot of work does go into it, especially when most platforms and their algorithms actively push against natural growth and…

While the ban seems incredibly harsh

Wow bud, that did not help your friend’s case

I went through his timeline. He spends plenty of time complaining and retweeting complaints about “feminists” so even if what you’re saying is true, he himself seems to be using the term very much in the Rush Limbaugh way.

That you believe these arguments are made in good faith is ridiculous. OMG he goes on and attacks basic concepts of feminism further down. 

“people being mean online creates nazis”

The paradox of tolerance points out that you literally cannot be all-inclusive. If you include fascists, racists, TERFs, and the like, IE those people whose platform is to disenfranchise and denigrate others, you create a disinclusive environment by their inclusion.
