“Sure it was mega condescending, but did you ASK women about it? Some women love being condescended to, probably! I haven’t asked them, but that sounds plausible to me!!”

Excuse me, the movie is GREAT. Yes, it’s different from the comic in a lot of ways, but it’s an excellent adaptation that does its own thing while still being true to the comic.

“The movie is fine"???

Anything other than featureless black box = ugly. Got it.

regardless of origin you still want to play ignorant of the connotations? You can’t see the issue of using “white” in any manner to denote good, acceptable, preferred, allowed, benign/beneficial qualities and use “black” as the antithesis. You can’t see the problems with using black to denote not allowed, bad,…

This is pretty much where I land with the game. Been playing off and on since early 2018 and have NEVER been able to get the hang of heroes against player controlled characters. Coop or single player, fine, easy. Against real people? Nope. I too stick to the grunts with my preferred guns and gear.

Considering how many male directors have continued to have a career after producing outsized flops (or ten), and she didn’t, imma go out on a limb and say yes.

I don’t think Ishtar is a very good movie, really, but I also don’t think it’s that bad either. Half of the response to it seems to have been because a woman had the gall to act like a male director and basically go nuts. Tyrannical male directors are a dime a dozen, and they typically don’t get called out like this…

Trying real hard not to let loose some anger and/or take it real personal that the video game-film genre has a huge chance at gaining legitimacy through Cate Blanchett’s casting... and Kotaku’s only take is to have one of its reviewers remind us that he doesn’t like Borderlands.

Nah, it’s great.

Hi! SonicFox is non-binary and their prefered pronoum is they/them/their, so don’t call them a he. Good day!

I agree: the tone of this post is just off-putting. “Sometimes I don’t like dealing with the challenges in life that come with being a ninth grader, so I like blowing off steam by bullying some seventh graders.”

I realize that when in an article that is effectively pitching the idea of pubstomps as self care I shouldn’t have expected much, but hey maybe think for a second about how much it sucks for the rest of the people in the game when someone is pubstomping. I realize that when the exalted mind of [checks notes]…

What is with the substandard critical analyses for Watchmen? Multiple times now I’ve seen that the best hot takes have been just being willfully ignorant to the material reviewed, like the show isn’t building up grand mysteries that may explain the questions opinion pieces like this are counting as flaws. A great…

My wife binged the first season while I was working at home, so I heard it and it didn’t really interest me. Seemed like heavy, religious cult stuff.

Fuck all of the people crying about the headline, Chapelle is a homophobic, transphobic and I’m sure several other ‘ics asshole that I don’t think deserves the support and adoration he gets.

This is cheating.

This is cheating.

Waiting in queues out of game is THE vanilla WoW experience for the first year of it’s life.

How do you know how relatable it was for “most”?
