After Joss Whedon and Marilyn Manson, if they announce that Goldeneye on N64 somehow abused women they’ll have retroactively ruined all of my weekends between age 12 and 16.
If an African games company made 10 AAA games about various African warriors/heroes and then suddenly made a game with a white protagonist to sell copies/”pander”... I dunno.
Gay or straight has nothing to do with whether one is cis.
Counterpoint:
In 2005, the FBI released a report on the “violent” rise of “eco-terrorism” while admitting that eco-terrorism is not responsible for any physical harm and is ideologically opposed to harming people. This revealed the irony of the US government’s classification of political violence — it includes murder along with the…
No, I see a Furby.
From an outsider it appears to me that this is one of the parts of Twitch that isn’t shit because it’s far less toxic and isn’t just a generic white dude ranting about something while they sometimes play a video game. You really think the platform is that great outside of this? Also, this stuff is in a completely…
This loop of “women showing up in outwardly male dominated areas and financially succeeding which makes men get super fuckin’ butt-hurt” is just literally never going to end, is it? We’re just destined to do this forever, aren’t we?
Its amazing to me that these dudes are so determined to be toxic now that they will just straight up argue against boobs.
Nothing rejuvenates me like the tears of entitled male streamers who believe that they’d just be on easy street if their wacky streaming antics or supreme gaming talent didn’t have to compete with the modern innovation of... (checks notes) PG-13 grade sexual titillation
The fact that toxic fuck xQc is so popular even after being kicked off of his pro Overwatch team for being racist really doesn’t speak well for humanity.
“Turning one of my favorite characters, with a mouth as foul as her heart is big, into an object to gawk at”
Hahah, please, Kaine has been running with half her ass and tits out for 10 years, and only NOW she’s an object to gawk at? How come you didn’t complain about the same 10 years ago? Sorry, you get no victim…
YES! I’m dying to see this series continued. Charlize Theron was rumored for a role, and it seemed like a damn good possibility she might again play Aileen Wuornos, which would be incredible.
absolutely loving seeing this dude getting torn to shreds.
Do you think the article is *complaining* about this or just informing us of a potentially interesting video project people might not have heard of regarding an extremely popular and still financially and culturally relevant game?
You’re definitely being weird and it’s not the first, fifth, or twentieth time on your part. If I see a post my you good odds are it’s being weird.
Makes me wonder why the heck you’re here, honestly. People have been complaining about this kind of coverage from Kotaku for so long (literally a decade and a half) that I think it’s fair to say it’s patently obvious what to expect from Kotaku at this point. So if you’re still here complaining that Kotaku is being…
Your sarcasm implies that people are outraged by this. I don’t think anyone is. It’s just a neat factoid, and the methodology of the experiment is interesting. The article certainly isn’t trying to paint GTA in a negative light. It’s not their fault you interpreted it that way.
How do you explain dead pixels then, eh? Checkmate.
