Alright, two observations about that Masters of the Universe trailer:

You’re creating a false equivalence between people offended by words that disrupt the conservative status quo, and people critical of words that reinforce the harms of the conservative status quo.

Microsoft, the corporation, is considered ‘liberal’? Or are you suggesting that whoever crafted this list was liberal?

Response to my original post about being Kinja’d. Shamelessly stars my own post.

Comment briefly summarizing thoughts about the post. Immediate segue into how I met someone only tangentially connected to the topic at hand. Picture included that shows me, in a convention space wearing a lanyard, with my arm around an unknown indie developer.

Broken link to YouTube video because commenter lacks the “copy+paste” skills to pull off such a feat.

Comment talking about how this site has been garbage ever since [insert former Gawker-era writer’s name here] left.

Self-reply to emphasize a point that no one cares about and will scroll past regardless. 

Sarcastic joke about particular pop culture reference that is neither biting and sharp nor endearing and thoughtful.

Comment that is wildly out of place because infinite scrolling led to the comment section of a different article.

Weirdly horny comment about a fictional character. 

Comment accusing Kotaku of being paid by publisher for coverage.

I make a seemingly good comment and anticipate lots of likes. Realize a day later when I have no likes that I came upon an article seven months old and it was just randomly retweeted into my timeline. 

Comment laced with toxicity and venom promoted by the CMS that will encourage other users to click reply, improving engagement with the article (but only marginally).

Comment asking to be let out of the grays. 

Gif used to express feeling that took longer to find than typing my thoughts... thoughtfully. 

Comment posted too quickly for me to have read article in entirety. Condescending sentence calling out author for not including piece of information clearly detailed in paragraph 4 of the story. Follow-up referencing tangential or entirely unrelated fact betraying a shallow understanding of the topic based on half a

Reply that tells you you’re an idiot without actually saying it, and at the same time spouts off information as fact that is really just my unfounded opinion.
