This is for a Senate seat in Kentucky, Ashley - Not in New York or California...Jesus. Your sentence sums it up perfectly: “She supports the Affordable Care Act and wants to get McConnell out of Congress, what more can we ask for?

It should be pointed out that the establishment didn’t choose McGrath because they thought she might beat McConnell, but rather because she was able to raise a lot of money and would force the RNC to spend some resources in Kentucky in order to ensure McConnell’s seat. From that perspective, Booker presents an

Counterpoint: In the case of an actual emergency, this president is the last person you’d want to inform until it was absolutely necessary.

Can we get an article from Kotaku on how you managed to force this man-child to not only read content he doesn’t like, instead of scrolling past it, but also how you forced him to comment on it? It’s obviously your fault Kotaku, so a little self-exposé here is demanded.

Imagine framing someone thinking you don’t deserve the same basic human rights as everyone else as “an opinion you don’t agree with”.

IGN is currently waiving the LGBTQ+ flag (with black, brown, and transgender colors added), so to say that only Kotaku is in any way political is ridiculous.

Wait, this is on Polygon’s front page! Can’t go there.

Listen, you patronising cretin. Just because you also happen to buy into her transphobia doesn’t make it a “perfectly valid criticism”. The problem with people like you is that you want to wave the ‘opinion’ card around any time someone tries to call you out on your bullshit. Sometimes it isn’t an opinion: sometimes

just write “I’m a fucking coward who doesn’t want to deal with reality”. It’s fewer words.

Ah yes, the good old “why would you punish someone for an opinion” defense of hate speech. 

That certainly is a novel take on the “I can’t be racist” trope.

That’s because he’s one of the few proper games journalists out there. When game directors and studios actively dislike you, you know you’re a cut above the rest.

Hey man, trans people are dying, but please cry more for video games not being purchased enough. That is the hill to die on, FOR SURE.

Go back to 4chan, then.

You can frame it as only an opinion, but hate speech has consequences. Already it’s been used as justification to prevent protection to trans people in the states and the UK. Already it’s caused an uptick in hate towards trans people online and in real life. You’re worried about people having to move from one game to

I am in no way compelled to give my money to people I disagree with.

Whether or not all women are women is not a matter of opinion. It’s a matter of fact. She makes counterfactual claims of fact.

Legitimate question: What’s a good alternative to Kotaku that’s not so full of these non video game related stories?

In case anyone here was still under the impression that JK Rowling isn’t a transphobe, she recently unfollowed Stephen King and deleted her tweets supporting him after he came out saying trans women are women.

Yeah, the game seems to be right up my alley, and the magical school fantasy is something I love, but no way do I want to give Rowling any more money. I’m really sorry for the developers.
