The Walking Dead, you mean that show that cannot introduce a black man unless the previous black man has been killed off? That show that takes place in and around Atlanta, a city that is 54% black and 30% white?

Can you give an example of a game negatively affected by "forced diversity"?

That's the thing that exhausts me so much about this: Outside of MedievalPOC, none of the parties involved know the first damn thing about the Medieval period (and I truly doubt that any of them actually gives enough of a shit to educate themselves about it), and yet they're assuming that everything was homogeneous…

The point is that no one's actually complaining. The mere existence of the game - attempting to model an historical setting in a semi-realistic fashion - prompted the question of whether people of color might be present in said setting.

What a class act you are. The ladies much be swarming.

Could you explain it, then? I'm a fairly educated, well-read adult with a penchant for non-traditional narrative and I found the story to be completely bizarro crackers. Granted, I don't have enough of an investment in the characters or the gameplay to play all of the many, many games across multiple platforms, but I…

Yeah, I've never been particularly moved by the "Barbie's measurements" line of outrage and I've been hearing it since I was a very young girl.

Ugh. Get ready for the "I REFUSE TO HOLD GROSS BABIES!!!" posts. Go ahead and take pride in your ignorance of a fundamental part of human life, kids.

Thank you for telling us what we're allowed to find funny on the Internet, Officer.

I'm being serious. There is literally no such thing as impossible when it comes to teenagers finding porn on the Internet. Also, where does it say that no one saw the shoot? From Google Maps it looks like the school is right in the middle of a residential area. Someone could easily have spotted it.

You are wildly underestimating your average high school boy's ability to locate porn.

You don't work at a school, I take it. A porno about the school (or even one that just used the building's image for exterior shots) would be such a colossal story among the students that it would likely disrupt classes and daily operations. I don't blame the administrators for being fucking pissed.

I'd never rip so harshly on the writing of someone who's both not a professional and not a native speaker of English. I'm a teacher, I encounter bad writing every damn day, and I see it as my duty to help guide people to be better and more artful communicators.

No, it's based on the quality of the writing, at least for me. I don't read Jezebel often and was completely unaware of any drama surrounding this author. But I had to read this thing two or three times in a struggle to figure out [1] the basic damn details of the story and how it progressed, and [2] the author's take…

Othering of marginalized groups sucks. Capitalizing isn't othering. You're free to think that it is. I (and lots of others, it seems) don't.

Good for you, Doug, for sticking with this "writing" thing. Lots of people would consider it a waste of money to pay someone as he slowly learns how to compose a comprehensible sentence and not confuse the readership with baffling attempts at humor, but Jezebel probably spins it as a charity tax write-off.

Using words like "shitty" to describe your reaction to others use of capitalization, as you did in your second post here, certainly has a negative, shame-y quality to it.

Since you're autistic I'm not sure how far I can take this without unwittingly hurting your feelings, so I hope you understand that I'm really doing my best to show the utmost respect while at the same time disagreeing with your conclusions. That is not the same thing as misinterpreting you.

Right, you're autistic. So why is it incumbent upon me to walk on eggshells because of your neurological wiring? Obviously I would never consciously try to hurt or offend you, and if I do I will apologize, but there's something imperialistic and self-defeating about requiring that people essentially subscribe to your…
