Can anybody explain what “kotakuinaction” means?
I merely found I loved this subreddit as a freethinking place....
I have no clue about the backstory
Kotaku used to be a video game news website, but it went sour with all the idpol stuff that started up about a decade ago. There was a subreddit called "TumblrInAction" that was for screenshots of Tumblr posts of crazy people and how unhinged and disconnected from reality they were.
KotakuInAction began as a sub that posted similar behavior from Kotaku itself, but quickly broadened into multiple other websites, and then further still into video game journalism at large, and ultimately onto real world politics.
There was a rift in the moderators and the users about the scope of the subreddit, so KiA2 was born.
