Nice try with the reverse psychology Kotaku, but I'm not going to going to suddenly be interested in the Soyny PS5 just because you hate it.
"You have things that bring you joy? That's pretty cringe bro" I wonder how Sony would feel about a hosting ads on a videogame "journalism" site that directly insults and shames potential customers out of buying a PS5 over reasons not related to the quality of the console. I hope there's an archive of the original article with Sony ads plastered right next to the offending text.
BTW, isn't it pretty tone-deaf to talk about privilege when the worst thing to happen to these bullies is that someone disagreed with them? Leave your politics at the door or quit your job and go work for a charity.
I don't know about the history of Kotaku In Acton 2, I just came by before it went private because of cross posts, and found lots of cool content!
So the original Kotaku is a mystery to me, but it seems to be over-run with whiners and Nancy-boys :/
Trying to Virtue Signal by shaming others for "their privilege" in a game console preview just makes my skin crawl :p
I'm sure we here have little relationship to that group. Hopefully!
Kotaku is just a hilariously inept games journo outfit who's impropriety scandal was so bad it created a massive cultural rift that has existed ever since.
Sounds like what I'd heard before, just was fuzzy about the first couple of steps.
Thanks!
I dont know the history either but I believe the name means [documenting/commenting on the fucking idiots at] kotaku in action.
So the relationship is one of derision. Also welcome :)
If that "writer" were so concerned about "real world issues", then what are they doing writing video game reviews, if it's so bad to be so "privileged" enough to be able to "shut out the world" while it "burns around" them?
Irony, it's lost of the left.
Honestly, people deserve to be shamed if they are excited for the ps5.
Dear Sony,
as you can clearly see the road to Virtueville isn't the easy trip you thought it would be. For one, you can never get there because Virtueville changes Location constantly. But don't worry, you still get to contribute. Everyone on the road to Virtueville is fair game. They'll use your name and reputation to shame others and they will shame you and slander you without remorse when it suits their agenda. And you will let them. And they know you will let them. Because you still believe that Virtueville ist the land of milk and honey where the untapped market awaits you with open arms.
sincerly (hah),

Virtueville would be an amazing game! Like Farmville and a zombie shooter mixed together! Except the 'zombies' would be white males, mostly. The villains could change daily though, depending on how the wind blows.
Of course: Babylon Bee Is On The Case!
Nothing escapes The Bee! Also: Not The Bee is excellent too. Not satire, but you'd think it was!
