Can’t we laugh at anything? It’s ok to be fat, and it’s also OK for fat characters to be silly sometimes. It’s part of being fat, sometimes.

So... I don’t get the argument.... that overweight people should be made into main characters in high action roles in which they are physically active, maintain all that weight and end up the hero?

They don’t do it any more or less than people do in real life. Hell, if anything, they do it far less than people do in real life. Plenty of strong, positive fat people in gaming. This is a silly post, even for Kotaku.

You’re certainly a hack.

Yup. Writer clearly has no understanding of politics, or nuance. But hey, clicks!!!

With my ability to be outraged at a premium nowadays, I can’t and won’t get big-mad about an 11 year old Wii game.

Wow, this is a shit headline. Go fuck yourself Rafi.

After giving it some thought earlier when it looked like they were going to cave, I agree with this take. They’re, politically, in a much better position if it comes to another shutdown in 3 weeks and they will still have the same leverage as they did today.

The worst city in the country. There isn’t even a close second.

This shit again? Don’t you people have anything else to write about?

the link you have just goes to an MTV #MeToo landing page with no mention of this study.

Ahhh... the MTV study!

Good. I am a totally leftist liberal but FFS people.

Women are cast as the moral backbone of the society, so they become the custodians of sex. It’s men’s to take and women’s to keep. A woman’s worth is tied to how fiercely she guards it, so boys are conditioned to think ‘good girls’ say no and they are the ones worth pursuing. Her worth increases the more they have to…

Hope they’ve got most of the writing staff back. I’ve had a soup-shaped hole in my heart since 2015.

Unfortunately Sarah, you just wandered into a very dark world of identity politics insanity. You will need to be sacrificed for the greater good of something, not exactly sure what, but some noble cause.

It takes a few seconds to type out things like:

“the strange comfort of victimhood” is a weapon that works in every direction, and I don’t think it’s wise to hand it to the critics of the march. But perhaps you meant something else.
