Came here to say much the same.

Are you serious with this? This is the take? Just...wow. There is only one response to a take like this:

Everything that has ever existed can be viewed as problematic under the right lens. I feel like we are just desperately seeking reasons to complain at this point. I guess moving forward, just to be safe, all characters should be the generic placeholder body used in most game engines.

“BMI had J-shaped associations with overall mortality and most specific causes of death; for mental and behavioural, neurological, and external causes, lower BMI was associated with increased mortality risk.”
Being bigger makes you die…

I think it’s fair to identify a portrayal as overly tropey, especially when those tropes are grounded in attitudes towards people that can be harmful.

But also like... “seek to connect body size, mortality and food”? Those things... are very much connected. More food makes you bigger. Bigger people die faster. Those…

Can’t someone be offended by a joke and just tell the joke teller it was a shitty joke, instead of trying to get the joke teller fired?

I get why companies prefer to just do their own thing now, but E3's demise does make me a bit sad. 

Quick correction to this part of the article: “He had reportedly been arrested for these charges and pleaded guilty to two counts in October of that same year.” He pleaded NOT guilty to the two counts. The current version makes things very confusing.

Hollywood awarded 2 asian actors and a movie that represents asian-american culture with 7 oscars.

The Slap (meaning: when Smith got fed up with Chris Rock poking fun at his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith)

Simultaneously removing your husband’s legacy from the internet while it’s still reaching new people, AND killing your passive revenue stream bequeathed to you from it, because AI = bad and scary!!! sure is one of the dumber takes I’ve heard in a while. If people are already having him say the N word or whatever…

Maybe it’s a generational thing (I’m Gen X) but when did people stop being able to take a joke? And I’m not talking about Malala, everyone on a message board is so full of themselves and love to get offended on someone else’s behalf.

“First, obligatory JKR is a bigot and by playing this game you’re (the general you, not the author here) basically saying you care more about playing a video game than anto-trans bigotry.”

What on earth is this article? You say it’s steeped in assault allegations and then it turns out to be a throwaway line at the very end where it turns out two (2!%) of the (unnamed) contestants have allegations against them. Is that even higher than the average at all?

It has literally nothing to do with the show, or…

It’s an amazingly deep and fun game. My 9 year old and 15 year old daughters are having a blast exploring. Even my 43 year old wife, who doesn’t play games at all, loves going around and collecting things, opening up the map, etc. The long and short is, it’s probably one of the best, biggest, most fun, and most…

...despise Meghan Markle for “no reason” (we all know the reason)...

I’m all for standing up for Transgender rights, but if you are going to harass and bully people so aggressively, by even going as far as creating a website to tell you whether a streamer has played said video game, you aren’t exactly creating a healthy narrative.

“ complete with neatly trimmed landing strips”

Cowards.

I was excited for this remake but after seeing the new gameplay today I’m a bit worried. RE4 is a very mechanical game. the way it plays is almost like a rhythm game or something, very specific game feel. Here it looks quite.... Loosey-goosey.....

Beyonce has always been and always will be a capitalist. If you thought she cared about social justice issues, it’s only because it was part of her “brand” that could make her money. It was never, ever because she cared. Being a feminist and anti-racist are a means to a very wealthy end for her.
