What’s extra weird about this article is that Kotaku doesn’t shy away from calling out how billionaires suck and capitalism is making our lives worse in almost anything else.

How many Amouranth articles have you guys written at this point? Pretty sure the “Queen of Twitch” doesn’t need the extra exposure. Why not write some stuff about smaller streamers who could benefit instead?

Another day, another rich person with more money than a rational person could ever spend doing as much as possible to avoid having to contribute to society financially. How is this video games news? 

Seriously. It was only a few years ago that we made the switch to shuting down anyone who even implied that a game character was sexually attractive on Kotaku (after decades of games using half naked women to boost sales). Now the writers themselves are fecklessly frothing at the mouth for them. It’s pathetic.

Re-Stigmatize lusting after virtual characters.

Because the game is derivative, repetitive, ugly, and boring?

Holy hell... Do you know how drunk you have to be to fall asleep at the wheel; drive onto someone’s yard?  That’s driving the wrong way on a highway drunk.  That’s plowing into a bus. 

The entire subculture of streaming is hot garbage.

There are times when being 40+ years old certainly pays off, and this is one of them. I don’t care about Pokimane, her streams, how she makes her money, her “healthy” products or her half-assed apologies. I also don’t care about the people that were upset by her comments, the people that complain about the price of…

You have no soul.

Identity politics: the clamoring of affluent, upper-middle class types for greater access to board rooms, positions, privileges, etc., on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, etc. That is what the author’s reference to “representation” means in this context.

Has he tried not being a cunt?

Another banner day for Elon Musk, the smartest man alive.

The lesson we all need to learn from this and NieR: Automata is that when somebody asks you, “Why is this character design horny?”, it’s perfectly acceptable to answer “Because I like it.”

Cool! Looks like they need a lot more testing.

In Fallout 3, in one of the subway stations, there’s two skeletons.

you can be a woman and still be a scam artist and a bad person, like she is. not sure why she keeps getting platformed here except for the lulz, which faded out long ago 

Because she’s an attentionwhore and we, as a species, shouldn’t just platform everybody. It draws out all the narcisists.

Well, personally speaking I’m more inclined to dislike someone who’s clearly exploiting people who have deepseated mental health problems than to dislike the people with those problems, so that’s probably part of it!
