> The problem with dickheads like Leavitt is that, well they’re dickheads.

Trying to get people fired for having non-violent opinions on the internet is bad. Maybe it’s not equivalent to 1984 style authoritarianism, but it 100% is opening the door to that. Things are only going to get worse.

“On the back of this notoriety, the British author has waged a tireless campaign against transgender rights”

“Several users on popular gaming forum ResetEra have asked moderators to ban Hogwarts Legacy discussion altogether due to both Rowling’s influence on the franchise and Leavitt’s work as lead designer, a request moderators seem to be taking seriously.”

Think of all the people who have opinions that you don’t like working on projects you love who don’t have YouTube channels.  The horror!  You should probably just stop enjoying anything because there’s bound to be someone in there who you disagree with.

Wait til ya’ll find out that most of the AAA games that you buy and enjoy every year are worked on by all sorts of White supremacists and misogynists lol. This guy isn’t an anomaly by any means.

I don’t know if I like this. I mean clearly this guy has views I strongly disagree with. But... so? That means he can’t work on games?

I don’t begrudge her starting a GoFundMe because this country’s healthcare system is the worst but this is nobody’s fault other than her own, and a lawsuit to anyone should be tossed out and I hope she’s not wasting money on lawyers she should be using to pay her medical bills.

Wait, this is NOT the fault of a “patchwork, profit-driven medical system”. She unfortunately did something really stupid, and there is not a fix really, universal healthcare or not. This glue is bonded to her skin, so just waiting for it to grow out or shave it off is probably not an option. Anything able to remove…

No mention of Crimson Desert?

Seriously, Kotaku. Is this garbage necessary?

i understand people being upset, streaming or being a youtuber is an impossible dream one you badly want and work hard for and dedicate years of their life to with nothing to show for it because algorithms work against you, it’s incredibly taxing on mental health some destroy themselves for it i quit for that reason,…

You have to avoid almost everything, not just games, but television, movies, restaurants, grocery stores etc.  The problem is not a gaming problem but a capitalism problem as a whole.  

How does the joke dehumanize Chinese people?

I’m Chinese myself, and... yeah, it’s kind of obnoxious, but I’m also kind of numb to China pitching a bitch about everything. This seems like a really petty thing comparatively.

I was taught in j-school to write for clarity and that if an activist group tried to police your language, to throw their tips in the trash. you can’t cover this story without using the both names. otherwise there is no story.

It was much more than that. Right now it’s the world’s largest item of eWaste, which is considerably less flattering than pointing out its presence in games and movies.

Well you could find that version of the story on really any other website talking about this. You just happen to be reading it on site whose main focus is videos games and other pop culture which undeniably non-science community people are most likely to know this from...so you know.
