perhaps it’s ‘making a faux pas of a person in a drag the punchline’ that comes across as insensitive and anachronistic. i mean if ninja himself was trans and/or had overt drag hobbies it’d maybe seem like he was poking fun at himself since he wouldn’t be too unfamiliar with such happenings.

Forgive my language, but...wow, for real, fuck this guy. As someone who works in the industry, it’s a little hard to even put into words how angry a story like this makes me.

Completely agree. I’m a long time gamer, I’m a woman, and I’m a social science researcher, so I have some... thoughts... about this kind of study.

If it was what it advertised/designed for (a side gig) then no. But its not really a side gig for many folks but their actual job. An actual job should be treated like such and if Uber et al is going to pretend otherwise, this is really their only weapon.

Look, I get it, the Epic store has a long way to go, but it’s been around for FOUR GODDAMN MONTHS! Valve has had 12 YEARS to develop and build up Steam to where it is now. Yes there are things the Epic store should…

Your are defending a point I didn’t make. You have dragged in non-relevant parties into my statement. YOUR analogy does not apply.

hahah suckers! I’m not good enough for things like “tiers” and “rankings” to matter. I can play anyone and be equally bad!

To all of the people who don’t understand why this is illegal, he’s (most likely) sold tens of thousands dollars in his business of cobbling together bootleg/unofficial figures from regular ones with the direct intent to profit off of reusing someone else’s intellectual property.
