eSports is widely accepted in SK compared to any other nation. Pro players are regarded as celebrities and make good money from championships and sponsorships. Compared to other nations, they also tend to have better work ethic - while other regions’ pro players stream a lot, Koreans have better work ethic.

South America? Isn’t she Mexican? The only South American character in Overwatch is Lucio. You comment is a little creepy, but I guess more body types, especially for the female characters, can only be a good thing.

You’re against “thought police” but are upset about the idea of..... someone having a thought.

I wish developers who create things with strong implicit biases, could just admit they did so with bias involved. As humans, certain experiences make it very easy to create things that cater specifically narrow standards, right?

I feel like admitting that we are flawed and can always do better, is way more acceptable…

Oh man, his delivery is excellent!

Out of a cannon.

You’ve gone from “who is this new person?” to my favorite writer on Kotaku in an astoundingly short amount of time.

The trial is supposed to start on Election Day? Damn, that’s bad timing for him.

Right, because Kanye continually abuses and molests women, and incites racially-charged anger and violence... 

Black troops were seen as throwaway units, and given to other countries during that time. They were denied medals and recognition by the United States.

In before, “OMG why does the main character have to be black? These sjw cucks forcing this pc bull shit down my throat. I don’t see race. Also, I’m not racist, I used to sit behind a black kid in 5th grade.”

I think this election highlights how openly racists white Americans can be to just about anybody that isn’t Caucasian. Racists don’t need refuge when they have the safe harbor of a major political party. At this point it’s fair game to attack Mexicans, Muslims, Asians and any black American that dares to challenge…

As a Black woman, it always weirds me out when people say things like this, as I experience, see, read, and hear about people being openly racist to people who look like me every day, and know firsthand how strong anti-Black racism is in many Asian communities. This idea that other POC and some white people have that…

Who the fuck is such an asshole that he sends back fries?

Now that this story is public, he’ll never ketchup in the polls.

Heather, you’re awesome. Thanks for being here.

Yes... but not in this case. It probably doesn’t jump out to you immediately because you’re not Korean.

To be fair, Eddie Lacy is a size 0 in Wisconsin.

And yet, nobody seems to be making the same push to reclaim the swastika even though it has its roots in history older than WWII. Why isn't anyone doing that? Because it's easy to remember why Nazis conquering Europe and performing horrible acts on people was a tragedy and how the swastika now represents some thing…
