She had been called out so many times for cherry picking, lying and twisting facts that to even consider her a member of academia is funny.
One of the worst things to come out of gamergate is that it gave her validity in the eyes of those that don't know better. Apart from the obviously vile attacks and threats, it's the single worst thing to come out of this whole debacle. Her arguments and conclusions are so flimsy that she could have been argued into…
I like how your campaign for "journalistic ethics" has taken to targeting advertisers, given that advertiser influence over editorial decisions is the polar opposite of "journalistic ethics".
I really don't understand the end-game here. You silence every media outlet that doesn't agree with you? You make it so that…
Me every time I look at LoL or similar games:
That's why I'm so glad Square is on the defensive with XV. With the XIII saga they arrogantly expected the brand name would carry the game, and another hit would be guaranteed regardless of what they did. With XV they're acting as though they have their reputation to reclaim, hence the comments about how important…
There's one thing we know and that's how to handle a poll.
Death by snoo snoo!
You aren't missing anything. I keep getting the feeling that the people involved on either side of whatever this argument is think that this is some grand debate they're having, when it's really just a giant shouting match where no one is really listening to each other, taking place in a bubble - a tiny,…
I definitely agree with this, she's not acknowledging any of the games which work against sexism. We're at a point where it will be more constructive to look at the games that are doing right and promote them instead of putting down the games that have been sexist. (Especially if you haven't completely done your…
See, this bugs me quite a bit. Back when she released her first video, I felt there were some problems with it, so, as best I could, I explained why I felt that way. People chose to take it as "concern trolling," and much, much worse. Her defenders, at the time, remind me of the same people who attack and deride her.
'Anyone who has ever had an opinion on anything ever' didn't get paid $160,000 as a journalist to state it. I expect something a little more comprehensive than what I read on tumblr every day.
Why do I keep getting the feeling we should make a Kotaku dating thing? So many readers with the same sort of background and same hobby....
Yesterday, Stephen was asked on his twitter about conflict of dates - Zoe's ex claims they broke up in the first couple of days of August, at which point she had already been cheating on him with Nathan. The article Nathan wrote mentioning Zoe came out only a day before her ex says they broke up. Judging by this,…
Its all well and good that you're certain in Nathan's assurances. But I have to say that is beyond the point.
I think it's an "when all you have is a hammer" kind of situation. I don't, after all, believe that cops possessing guns or even military equipment makes them go shoot people. Plenty of other countries have armed police but relatively few violent incidents. I believe most police departments have a culture of shoot…
My discontentment basically stems from how we've gone from offline play being not only assumed, but the default, to a feature that we might or might not have, and if we do, we can advertise it! This constant defining downwards of ownership of the games you buy is just...BLECH. Not a good thing.
Yeah but notice the plastic toy helmet they gave him vs the rest in the picture, it says Token on the back of it..
Ah yes, the rare and ferocious (yet strangely ineffectual) Bing sharks of the central Atlantic. . . .
