But this would require the general public to know anything about the companies making these games. COD is probably the most mainstream non sports game in the world. It is bought by millions of people who never ever bother to read a gaming website and thus have no clue who Kotick is, what happens at blizzard studio’s…

In 2020 they developed and released 5 games...CoD Warzone, MW2 Remastered, THPS 1+2, Crash 4, and CoD BLOPS Cold War...and they made EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS. Cold War, which came out in November, and Modern Warfare (the 2019 version) were the top 2 best selling games of 2020. THPS 1+2 was the 20th best selling game of…

I couldn’t disagree more. Do you live in a holodeck or something? 

So you’re in favor of them abusing children, thereby creating victims worthy of help?

“I don’t think it should be a struggle not to drink. We should help the victims of drunk drivers instead.”

Thank you for the coverage of this story. I appreciate the nuance, and also how Dr. Walker maintains their goals of this research very clearly.

We already have incredibly harsh sentencing for stuff like child pornography, but guess what, people still do it. It’s pretty clear that treatment for this condition before a person acts on it is a net good for society. 

Wow...what an amazingly fucking stupid comment 

Who caaaaaaaares

Times may change but War. War never changes.

Few points:

That sounds absolutely awful in every possible way.

Props for not only taking ownership of and acknowledging the poor decision, but also taking proactive action to correct said decision. Good blogger writer internet man.

Gun control.

Apparently, what he was doing there wasn’t creepy, it was ‘“cultural activism” challenging dominant ideas and imagining alternatives’

Thank you. It feels like the researcher is using her study to justify the existence of fanfiction, which...doesn’t seem necessary? Lots of people have sexual fantasies that are icky or downright revolting to others, and I think it’s fine if they explore them safely through fiction. What’s weird to me is trying to…

I mean, this is a lot of justification of a deeper meaning to a fanfiction cliche (Omegaverse) that is literally just the last vestige of the “SuperWhoLock Tumblr” era of online fandom. Call me stubborn or close-minded but I’m going to struggle to consider papers on “people who give men dog cocks because internet…

Hot take: Samus will forever be an emotionless robot because when they tried to make her more than that, fans reacted with so much venom that it took the franchise a decade to make another proper installment.

And I’m not saying Other M’s writing wasn’t flawed as hell. But it’s funny to me that the part of the story…

I asked someone to describe why it’s so great here. And he said “guns, JESUS, and Freedom.” I was like you know they have those things in all the other states too? But he said no. No they don’t.

It’s telling that in an attempt to create fetal personhood,  they did not go to anything really beneficial. Like, you want to call the unborn a person, then it is when child-support starts, it is when you can deduct them on your taxes, when you get the benefits for having a child.  Not... you get to ride in the…
