I’ve watched the special multiple times and I’m not hearing where the offense is coming from. Is it because he claimed to be team TERF? How is that harmful to you or anyone else? You disagree with him, he disagrees with you. We’re entering a territory of sterilization. Actually, he kind of called out what would…

Really shows the deep support of Chappelle and comedy in general that this isn’t as much as a controversy as people would like it to be. 

Interestingly, I just read this EXACT SAME take over on an article at Polygon! I agree with you, its just interesting that its becoming an industry wide thing and not just a Kotaku thing.

Welcome to kotaku where it feels like there is an overall mandate for their bloggers to be bitter grumpy grouches who look for problems that don't exist.

If your local library doesn’t carry games, you can put in a request that we add them, or see if there’s another library in the area that accepts your card (my library accepts cards from most of the other libraries in the state, and a few from neighboring states as well. Although due to a whole huge video game theft…

It’s like going to a building that has a sign that says, “please use side door” and then complaining the building is “nearly inaccessible”

It’s a pain, but if you add funds immediately through through any internet browser I wouldn’t call that “nearly unusable”.

What this is, is a way to lower their overall risk and cost of keeping the PS3/Vita versions of the stores open.

So long as they’re transacting money there, there have to be additional controls, oversight, regular audits and lots of other things. But if they’re just transacting made-up “Sony Bucks” then it’s a much…

It was pretty cold outside though...

If you’re forced to choose whether someone will help a homeless person on the verge of freezing to death, always vote “no.”

Porn is a poor example because that isn’t out in the open in mainstream humor etc.

We’ve entered this weird phase of society where sexuality is great except for male heterosexuality. Women lusting after male characters? Great! Men objectifying other men? Right on! Women talking about how horny they are for other women? Fuck yeah! Men being attracted to women? Oh hell no!

“Late-stage capitalism” is a dumb term. It implies capitalism will end soon. It shows deep lack of understanding of what the US was like in the 1920s.

I mean... these are just ads.

Why doesn’t it surprise me that this article is made by the same person that made the “Please, Free Me From The Bad Takes About China’s Gaming Restrictions” article which was also just the same take everyone has, but with baffling extra steps?

Removing them as an equipable item, making them never drop anymore and not making any new ones, and re-allocating the belt inventory to other things really sounds like “removing” them to me.

I feel like you can apply that to any person in GTA though. It’s all within context, right? Like if my friend got a little too much joy out of killing animals, women, x-npc, y-npc, I too would be concerned. But it makes absolutely no sense to me to say “if you go into the game wanting to play this way, you are a…

I’m curious where the line is drawn here. To me the representation seems distasteful because it’s the only representation in the game. If there were a couple other variants that featured trans people in a non-sexualized, everyday fashion, would this still be controversial? The games have always featured female…

I agree with all of the sentiments in this article, but I have a hard time accepting the policing of how people choose to play GTA (aka, who they kill, why, and their satisfaction of doing so). To me, saying it’s troublesome that somebody enjoys killing X-NPC or Y-NPC is no different than the FOX News “think of the…

In GTAV I don’t believe violence should be perpetrated on people based on their sex, ethnicity, orientation or religious beliefs. In GTAV all people should be murdered equally, in fairness to all.
