Patricia linking to @teamrape as an example of a "supporter" of Mike regretting the pulling of the Dickwolves merch? Patricia grossly oversimplifying why people didn't think the controversy was warranted? (Hint: "humor shouldn't have boundaries" is not the reason at all.)

Jason, I don't know if you realize this... but people get upset by any and everything these days. Penny Arcade built it's reputation on making over the top, and often tasteless, or immature jokes. The Dickwolves joke had nothing to do with condoning rape. It was thrown in as part of a punchline concerning slavery in…

An important event? What the nontroversy about the Dickwolves joke? Come on man... who really cares about that? This is ridiculous.

All you guys are doing is adding fuel to the fire, for people to keep talking about it. I'd rather read about twerking in Earthbound, than this.

I do enjoy "some" of the articles, but most of the time, the headlines feel way too fabricated, and sensationalist. Misleading even... and they really seem to beat the same dead horse on a regular basis. Yeah sexism sucks, thank you for that. I'm aware of this fact. I'm also aware that the topic breeds page hits.

I get…

Stephen, while I respect that you go out of your way to speak up for your writers (i.e. I saw a comment you added to an anti-Kotaku post over on N4G earlier this year). I have to say, as someone who's been reading this blog since 2007, the quality of the articles on this site has really spiraled out of control in the…

Now's as good a time as any to remind folks that we can have discussions about this kind of thing without attacking people or crapping on other people's opinions. Carry on, please, arguing for, against or whatever else your point of view is. But let's try to keep things civil.

Cuter:

Okay. I'll definitely disagree in this instance. In my opinion, they've been as honest as they need to be with the state of Prey 2. In early 2012, they came out and admitted that they were not satisfied with the current state of development - and thus, decided to take it off their products listings and - at the very…

Couldn't agree more. They are being so vague so they don't have to spend half of their day every day answering press nonsense, or hiring additional staff this early in the process to fight the PR battle. Maybe you (Kotaku et al) should just leave them alone and let them do their thing instead of drumming up the…

In this particular matter, the lie hurt no one. The game is being made. It is being made by Arkane. When they were ready to come forward, they would have.

This isn't so black and white though is it? This is like when I was a kid and my mom saying I'm not getting that awesome present I wanted. Then I got it when the holiday came. I respect your report's desire to reveal the truth. But what consequences was the public facing here? This isn't the IRS where we have vested…

Banned for speaking my mind? A title that says "gamers mislead" when it's quite clear that game journalists were mislead and apparently I'm expected to jump on the "irrational anger train" because a game company wanted to make an announcement on its own goddamn clock...

I agree with you, but I hope that you don't get ban hammered or cornfielded for this. :( Honestly, I don't think that anyone is entitled to know what game companies are doing, especially given that much of what they might find could be cancelled prior to an official announcement.

Also, I do believe in the Golden Rule…

Why are they being so vague? Why mislead the public like this?

Protip: if your response to this kind of message is "I don't see why she didn't just put him on ignore", you're vastly missing the point.

And game designers aren't always the best businessmen, or the best marketers. You can be innovative as fuck but if you don't convince your target market that what you're making is something they'll really want you'll have issues introducing that new stuff from the get go.

Slight correction for you the way it works in reality, the Customer is always right and when they are wrong they are right.

yes i feel ya, all this hate on anime boobs recently has gotten childish and they need to drop it... next theyll be on the anime Bible Black for having too much sex in it, post an article about it, and go home and watch people have sex in game of thrones.

stay out of this Kotaku... please ;_;

So I take it Kotaku prefers games that celebrate the murder of other humans to a game about how boobs are nice? Why single this out? The human body is offensive unless you're fatally wounding it, apparently.
