Why the hate? Someone’s gotta fork over the big bucks if our governments won’t. Let the Bazillionare Space Race commence, and godspeed, I say. We’ll get some actual technological advancements that will further mankind’s journey into the cosmos, while also having a chance to witness some one-percenter explode on…
As someone who doesn’t follow Nascar at all. . . doesn’t the new car always suck? I feel like every few years, there’s a lot of handwringing about how “the next-gen car sucks!” and it’s a sign of the sport going downhill, and then everyone gets used to it and the cycle repeats.
So weird, right? It’s almost...I mean, call me crazy here but hear me out...it’s ALMOST like this was written by a black woman to provide context around her thoughts on the matter...? How bizarre!
Everything is a political stance. You’re just upset because the politics on display aren’t yours.
The only point involving you is the one on top of your head. There’s nothing wrong with celebrating the accomplishments of minorities in gaming.
No, you didn’t. That clip is basically saying that it’s more sexist to draw attention to the fact that sexism still exists than the actual sexism that still exists. Which is a common rhetorical tactic that sexists (and other bigots) use to bully people into silence and perpetuate their sexist (and other bigoted) behavi…
Thank you so much for recognizing that. I thank my father for giving me my own set of tools (so I would stop taking his) at a young age and my mother for acknowledging and always encouraging me. I credit the University of Michigan (B.S.E.E.E) for allowing me to find my own path, Michigan State University (M.S.E.E)…
It’s almost like her race is part of who she is as a person and affects how she exists in the world. Wild.
God damn right I did. Great post, Ash.
To be fair, there are hundreds of vidjagame sites out there that offer straight coverage. Kotaku has ALWAYS been a place where the writers wrote about what they cared about and have had leeway to provide their own takes. If you just want straight coverage (news, reviews, etc.) there are sites that do that. That's…
Listen, working here and writing as I have, there’s the old refrain of “block and ignore.” It’s smart and the correct thing. After all, all this means, if I dedicate myself to this task every time I piss off racists is that I’ll spend forever defending my right to exist to people who do not care. However, ignoring…
Talking about how her being Black is important to other Black people and her awesome gaming collection are not mutually exclusive. In this and everywhere else, I can and will continue, to do both.
I appreciate you saying so. Thank you. I’m glad I was able to help you in some ways recognize and work to correct your biases. While it’s not all I want to do in my time here, it is something important to me, so I’m glad in this small way we’ve succeeded.
Ash, I understand that I’m just a stranger on the internet and this will be an absurdly long comment and you may skip it, it’s fine, I won’t be offended.
Okay how about; “White man wins best hip hop album of the year!” It’s interesting because it’s unusual. For you. For us, it’s exciting because WOW, recognition! It wasn’t that long ago that black kids were bullied for being into nerdy stuff while black. On top of the regular nerdy kid bullying. And a WOMAN on…
That’s one of the most aesthetically pleasing collections I’ve seen of anything, let alone just gaming. And she has stuff that people can play? Furthermore she doesn’t say that “it’s worthless” throughout the video? Why aren’t we crowning her “queen” yet? I’d rather have her represent just how wholesome, collecting…
Headline: Talks about how wild the Jackie Chan fighting game is.
Hopefully it’s not another sword fighter.
Same! I was pleasantly surprised to see her in the actual end titles sequence and not just relegated to the crawl.
She's such a good VO. Glad they gave her a main credit in the show.
