An then what happened? you regressed back to troll?

Nintendo needlessly limiting stock? Get the FUCK out!

I fail to see how it’s meaningfully different than what you see in traditional media outlets. Of course, your opinion may be that all video game coverage is garbage, Kotaku included, but we’ll just have to disagree there. Just because YouTube is full of low-quality stuff doesn’t mean there aren’t people doing really…

“Scholar of the First Sin is literally a sandwich, an edible stack of meats on sourdough; it is not a video game as was originally believed.”

Thank you for saying what I, as a polite Canadian, am too shy to say about some of the comments about this topic.

Stephen Fry made that remark specifically in response to The Incitement to Religious Hatred Bill, which was intended to be used to throw anyone who made jokes at the expense of religions in jail for up to seven years.

I didn’t realize that blocklists and rude tweets were considered “harassment” now.

This joke’s punchline is literally “haha, people would rather kill themselves than sleep with a freak like you.” You’ll forgive me if that goes a little further than “being able to laugh at yourself.”

I know I say this a lot these days, but truly THIS heralds the Death of Gaming. When developers begin listening to their community and making alterations to the game based on feedback, we’ve boarded the Censorship Train on the way to Unethical Town.

Before reading the article I was thinking it was the other kickstarter messages and people were complaining about them breaking immersion. Kind of shocked when that wasn’t it.

One time I knew a girl who almost slept with a guy before she found out he was a gamer and backed out just in time. I heard she called up her guy friends and they beat him up when he got off his shift at work. Gamers should come out and tell people up front about their lifestyle so they won’t have to take drastic…

It’s lovely paired with all the whining about how anyone offended must not be a real gamer.

I agree: I don’t think a lot of the underlying ideological elements of Hartline are intentional. But it’s construction of reality, it’s version of reality is worth examining because it’s a distorted version. It’s in the distortion that the most interesting things are said I think.

How? Just, how does one make that leap? How does asserting the right to not hire people who do not present themselves well logically transition to turnabout is fair play and open season on another human being?

“Video games are not art.”
“OMG FUCK YOU VIDEO GAMES ARE ART!!!”
*person creates video game with political statement*
“OMG FUCK YOU KEEP YOUR POLITICS OUT OF MY VIDEO GAMES”

Thanks for posting that Hardline essay. I think it’s great video game critics are interrogating, negotiating, problematizing the political and social ideologies of video games. There’s been frequent calls for the depoliticization of video game criticism, but I steadfastly refuse to believe that this would improve…

wow she's amazing
