So I have a theory that he cut it short for most people out of fear of them saying something “political”

The Game Awards is about Geoff Keighly’s ego, and very little else. 

This is such a terminally online take. The notion of bottling up each individual culture such that everyone stays in their respective lanes and culture can only be expressed or shared if someone has the exact same skin tone and nation-state lineage as you is so fucking backwards.

If people have issues with the…

Have any of these people stopped to consider that maybe it’s not the character but the player that is wearing it? I don’t play Overwatch anymore but as a Chinese American I liked having all my characters (Pharah, Roadhog & Symmetra) wearing Chinese garb because I am in fact Chinese.  Should I only have to play Mei…

I find it fascinating that progressive people in favour of representing other people’s cultures find it offensive when the “wrong” character attempts to showcase said culture.

Americans use the terms “cultural appropriation” and even “black face” so incorrectly they’ve completely lost all meaning. You stupid fucks need to figure out what you’re upset about quick because one day something actually offensive will happen and we won’t have the language to describe it

I’m not watching a fucking video.

our OG trojan horse of a feminist filmmaker.

Considering Miller’s age, I’m just happy he had one more of these left in him.

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…

I can’t help but feel this is the dumbest story I’ve read about all week.

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.
