dragonbeast: The ride never ends
Shadowstalker16: On the topic of actually consuming journalistic content; I think I'm at a point where there are enough ethical alternatives to completely avoid all mainstream sites. I wonder who still reads Kotaku or Polygon these days.
Now we have the antiSJW side flaring up in a massive way. KiA is buckling from the load as the shit from the out of context warriors spew their feelings and lie about the recent events. So yeah; we're at a point where MGS5 released, Samus is being ignored as a human and being seen only as a woman, journos expressing no concern over male ''objectification'' while milking the cow on the other gender all the way to the bank, we have that dictator $arkeesian lying again and plenty of others. I was thinking the antiSJW side was getting less eventful after the talk of ethics and airplay but it flared up so much I'm sure this is gonna last until Christmas.
I've found myself checking out mentally more and more from all of this. The Samus controversy closed another couple of doors in my brain. There's an actual issue over the gender of a fully costumed video game icon from 30 years ago. People are actually deep in argument and discussion over it. I'm not even face palming myself at this point... more like jazz handing my head, like some masochist with tourette syndrome.
I'm wondering if the Wus, Quinns, and Sarkessians are fifth column agents working for the MRA. A movement couldn't pick more pedantic, erratic, and adolescent figureheads. If you flip the coin and make this a right wing movement dedicated to the defense of first person shooters, leaders like these would have tanked the whole damn thing long ago. But the crusaders always get a get-out-of-jail free card with their bosom buddies in the mainstream media establishment. One left hand washes another.
