Well, considering I’m Black and almost every review I’ve read was written by Black people, including two Black historians, that is not an issue for me.

I find it more telling in the sense that while a lot of normal people think the Obamas are like them, they’re actually members of a powerful elite that treats political differences that affect the lives of billions of people as essentially a kayfabe thing.

I’m not a number 1 fan of either Bush Sr or Jr...but the Bush’s aren’t racist. I don’t think there was an emergency family meeting when Jeb married a Mexican woman. Bush Sr coined the term “voodoo economics” in talking about Reagan’s “trickle down economics”- and is voting for Hillary. After 9/11 W went out of his way…

What a non-story. GWB is a fucking dolt, but it’s been clear for some time that the Bushes and Obamas have genuine respect and affection for each other. Personally I find it encouraging that powerful people on clearly opposite sides of the aisle can still have this sort of relationship. Maybe someday we’ll actually be…

I think this is absolutely about his weight. I don’t even understand how that could not be the case.

If someone made a similar joke at Melissa McCarthy’s expense this place would be up in arms.

This wasn’t a joke about power dynamics. This was an insult to his appearance, and he didn’t appear to have done anything to deserve it. This isn’t some sort of feminist stand she’s taking. This is just a mean-spirited “joke” at the expense of someone who was just trying to do his job. It’s inappropriate in either…

I get the idea that punching up is better than punching down. However, you’re really saying it’s okay to fat shame a dude, who is probably very insecure about his weight, by telling him he completely undesirable just because women get that kind of thing much more than men? That seems bizarre.

Maybe, but I don’t think it’s particularly appropriate to directly insult the appearance of anyone who is just trying to promote their movie. It’s shitty either way, and he did nothing to deserve it.

Can’t help but feel the response to this “joke” would be less positive had the genders been reversed.

I don’t get this at all, does Sony really think they are so far ahead that they can piss off a substantial subset of gamers and there won’t be a backlash?

No, no, we gotta assume that somehow boys are involved here, they HAVE to be.... let’s just focus on toxic masculinity even if we have no idea what the situation is. That’s what’s most important.

I like how one girl shoots another girl and you still find a way to blame boys for it.... as if that even matters at this point.

You did a pretty terrible job of giving up on Kotaku.

lol your comments have been some of the most condescending i’ve read on jezebel in a while, congrats!

Just following your lead dear, exhausting though it is
