If its a 17 year old having an affair with an adult (like a student with a teacher), everyone gasps and says “think of the poor child, scarred for life!”, then we lock away the adult for rape. However, if it’s a 17 year old that murders someone, they are usually charged as an adult and locked away for decades, because…

Old people are the greatest! They’re full of wisdom and experience!

For whatever reason I just remember that game while reading this too. Pretty sure it’s this:

TB says something rational, dev responds in childish way making personal attack, TB maintains his cool and decides not to cover the game out of fear that people would see his critique as biased.

review doesn’t like a game, badmouths the game.

I suggest you read the article again if you don’t understand why in fact the only professional thing to do in this situation is to recuse yourself from coverage of the title due to fears of perceived bias.

A youtuber doesn’t favor a game, and the Dev used childish insults to address him? Lame on Gleeson’s part. Not everyone is going to like his game. He might not even get to make another one if people don’t respond well to this one, but he already acts like he’s some hotspot. Totalbiscuit will still have his followers,…

Yeah, so Totalbiscuit’s initial tweet was totally rational and reasonable. He didn’t call the game terrible, he simply said it wasn’t for him. The response from the developer was kinda’ out of line.

Kotaku just shot themselves in the foot. I don’t know how much the rest of you know about Neogaf culture (I’m an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It’s not like it is on GameFAQs where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over on Neogaf, you bring shame to yourself, and…

Yeah, and clowns ridiculed those white-faced gods.

It shouldn’t matter if people are offended. It’s an April Fools prank with no clear malicious intent. Being offended does not immediately make something wrong. We’re arguing the semantics of the term ‘blackface’ and it’s pretty clear that this really doesn’t fall into that category. They put some makeup on a guy to…

But then this isn’t blackface? This isn’t an attempt to mock black people, notice the lack of comically large lips, the steriotypical curly hair or attempts to use derogatory mannerisms.
Actual Blackface makeup is designed to portay an offencive caricature of african tribespeople.

This is a celebrity who looks like…

Yeah, maybe people are lazy. But some people honestly do like a system that will just play their games. Some people aren't into electronics like PC gamers are. You may need to set up a console nowadays, but there are still FAR many more issues that can pop up with a PC that it may scare people away. I'm a console…

I'm kinda the same way. Like for me, sex scenes in a movie/tv show with a story around them are way hotter than any random clip of porn. The context of the characters and story make it way better, even if it is less explicit.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I don't like games with silent protagonists. When I play a game, I'm not looking to be immersed, but to be a tag a long. I suppose I see games as playable books than an active escape.

I never knew racism could come off so half-hearted. Like you're too lazy to not be racist or something.

Race is an arbitrary social construct, it's not a biological concept and can be (and has been) redefined as societies change over time. The phenotypical features we use as a proxy for the concept of "race" are, in a globalised world, only weakly correlated with nationality and culture. As we undo millenia of relative…

Screw that. Old schoolers were always going to get salty once computing power overtook budgets, but the industry standardizing the tech side and becoming less of an engineering-driven tech business and more of a design-driven cultural industry is a positive move.

This panel irritates the hell out of me. They're turning this is into a class war where there doesn't need to be. It also seems to be turning her into this restrained female character and she never was. Ever. She's one of the strongest female leads in a film. The other panel with her and Dadonna is especially…
