“The game merely shows me that trans men exist, a fact I already knew.”

The reality is, there is essentially a 0% chance a company like Amazon would have done anything else, as they are a corporation who don’t have any idea about the field they are trying to get into.

I don’t think she has any problems with people wanting to be trans. What she disagree is the definitions. What she dislike is that if trans woman are woman then women have to be split in “women” and “women who menstruate” as she so called in that tweet. They don’t have the reproductive organs that women have, they…

Game seems like it might be good. As a centrist, if I gave a shit about the political views of every idiot out there selling something, I’d be protesting literally everything all the time and would starve to death.

Is she not allowed to have her own opinion? Or should everyone be forced to think the same way? I’m not agreeing with her, but some people feel strongly about the “natural order of things.” Say, religion for example. Some religions feel the same way as her. Are you going to tell someone that their religious beliefs…

She got a huge amount of garbage from the other side of the aisle for having Dumbledore as a gay man. Now she gets garbage for recognizing that women born with certain parts menstrate. She is not a perfect person. None of us are and we are allowed to have an opinion, even if not popular. In certain countries, you have…

What is wrong with you? Like seriously.

A whole bunch of people are going to lose work, and a bunch more work is going to the shitcan because someone has an opinion you don’t agree with. You people are all fucked. Every fucking one of you. Fucked.

as everyone collectively thinks “Trump had a Twitch channel...?”

“We do not make exceptions for political or newsworthy content...”

Shots fired at Twitter, which has had its “public interest” exception/disclaimer going strong for the past 3 and a half years to absolve itself of its own self-stated responsibility.

I usually don’t like the “This is how the business world works” argument, but it’s fitting here. I can empathize with Mixer streamers because it absolutely sucks getting the rug pulled out from under you, but the job comes with considerable risk due to it requiring substantial dedication to a skill that doesn’t…

It is never a schtick. It’s always someone being who they really are when they think there’s anonymity and no repercussion.

Stories about streamers are more fun if you’ve never heard of the person, so you can just bask in the absurdity of their regular name being combined with their doofy handle without any familiarity getting in the way. It’s always something like ‘Bradley “PizzaWalrus” Wickendorf,’ or ‘Christopher “Ultrafetish” Jenkins.’

You can’t even escape it if you’re trying. I come to Kotaku to read and talk about actual video games. But like a car crash or a dead body, I see this Twitch/YouTube/”influencer” “celebrity” crap and I gawk at it even as I hate myself for doing so.

I hate memes. I find most lazy and just unfunny... but not this time. You hit it perfectly. Bravo

My understanding is he really isn’t a Doctor of Disrespect. It was more of an honorary degree, like Mr. Phil.

Any time I see a list of famous streamers I’m forced to rethink my definition of the word famous.

One of the most exhausting things in video game culture these days (in addition to all the bad stuff that is not new) is just “keeping track of who all these inexplicably famous twitch people are”.

I don’t understand Twitch. It’s like someone opened a garbage store, then one day decided, “I can’t have all this trash lying around here!”
