You calling Robot Chicken “hilarious” and “wonderful mashups” really says a lot. And that’s before that weird millennial spiel.

No i genuinely don’t remember The AV Club not infusing their news articles with editorial opinions and jokes. I’ve been reading it for a decade or more by this point. Are you new here?

Remember when a black man’s neck was kneeled on for 9 minutes in a country where their lives aren’t valued?

Remember how any rational human would be humble, somber, and willing to listen on issues affecting people who don’t look like them or have the same life experience, rather than complaining about being confronted…

“aNyOnE cAn bE a slAvE”

I’m not saying this in support or opposition to any specific terms here, but I’m always confused by the guys who try to use etymology as a reason to keep using a word. Language changes, always and forever. Terms can develop new meanings, lose old ones, or change in a million other ways. Just that fact that you have to…

Well, you know slavery didn’t exist until the early US colonies, and doesn’t exist today. So it’s obvious that people should draw this conclusion.

Rajj Patel began as an offensive caricature with a faux-Indian accent in 2013

The conclusion in his post is so insulting.

This doesn’t feel like changing for the better. This feels like changing to make sure a revenue stream stays active. Seems disingenuous at the very least.

Yep and all those bad faith pieces of shit is like, “he is changing and he dropped the racist name and doing racist things in 2020!”

as they should be

always remember gamers are about 4 decades behind on what’s acceptable and this is why gamers should have no rights

He started his racist caricature in 2013??? And then it took him roughly 7 years to simmer down to and eventually stop appropriation? And he was apparently popular much of this time?

“2013 edgelord memes it never should have left” sorry man, but this shit being unacceptable was front and center in 2013. 2003? Maybe. 2013? No fucking excuse.

Seriously? People gave her the benefit of the doubt for a long while now. She actively ignored all the good faith criticism she received and doubled down with a dehumanizing rant about trans-women and trans-men. Bringing up her own sexual assault is irrelevant to the topic and being used to shield herself from further…

I’ve actually debated with myself whether or not to use the word “cunt”. Then decided “bitch” would be better.

Tone policing, how novel. The AV clubs troubles stem from being brought into the Gizmodoverse fold, the kinjapocalypse, dilution of content with io9, and being bought out by a bunch of private equity dillweeds that are determined to run the entire enterprise into the ground. It has nothing to do with calling a bigoted…

J.K. Rowling might have some shite views, but this comment is pure projection and a very shit take.

Oxbridge-envy is something you get over by the first two weeks of whatever posh and prestigious “Oxbridge reject” uni you eventually end up at, let alone decades later when you’re a billionaire best-selling author with…

The way she talks about trans activists sadly shows the limits of her empathy. She said she tweeted because she was in a dark place because of Scotland/people being mean to her/being offended by the “people who menstruate” headline. Then everyone just decided to start screaming at her because they’re so angry for no…
