[Boredfrom]

So you don’t mind if I pirate games? 

LOL, go nuts.

But I like to actually own stuff. Why devs hate my dirty Mexican money?

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

This entire thing is the most ridiculous shitstorm ever and it would be nice if Era didn't devolve into those very same clickbait standards.

Also there's now twice as many articles on Kotaku about this urgent and pressing matter than there are about THQ 8chan's AMA.

She is really bad at her job. Is she going to claim that she didn't throw her boss under the bus now?

[BisMarckie]

Really though, who the hell cares?

Kotaku was a joke before that shit and is still a joke.

No one cares outside of KIA and Smash fans on the spectrum. That's the brilliance of it. This has a 1000% more attention than the THQN AMA on 8chan. It's like poetry. Just enjoy.

I have a feeling there is more to that response than at face value lol

The Corrupt Bore also filters the word autistic, making it impossible to have a serious conversation about the issues that autistic children and the parents of autistic children face in our society.

Yeah, I never got why distinguished mentally-challenged fellow is supposed to be a slur, but posting spongebog acting like a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow to insult someone is supposed to be fine. Posting that is just visually calling someone a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow

[10centtacos]

Saying Nintendo fanboy distinguished mentally-challenged is arguably more of a knee slapper than the hard R version

Just IMO

Nothing is going to happen until the forum implodes and they all move to another forum and start over again. 

Speaking of which, I kind of got "she's bi" story vibes from that Laura Kate Dale story where she blamed her boss for the article.

Can someone with a REEE account please remind Hobbes that to call yourself a journalist, you actually have to be getting paid to write stuff (or actually have been paid at some point in the past).

For being such a "Truth to Power" crowd, they are totally willing to believe in a person caught in their own lie.

These comments are doing the rounds on Twitter, and while I can't verify them as the source is apparently Kinda Funny Facebook, it puts a hell of a lot of blame on Kotaku/management

So it wasn't her fault but her boss' fault? That makes quite a lot of sense considering her behavior last night.

Given history and experience from other people who have worked alongside the author in question I highly doubt this is the case. Including people I know from the industry who have worked in close proximity. This seems like a Grade A deflection but at this point comes to personal attacks that I could get flamed/in trouble for.

Regardless the posts they were making on groups and stuff seem textbook deflection and self victimizing to avoid responsibility. And up until it was flagged they seemed to stand behind the article's writing.

Oh well, what's done is done.

So if this is real, her boss basically published her story without her consent? And now they don't want to take any of the responsibility? What the fuck.

Maybe Laura would have agreed to put the article up with those changes, maybe she wouldn't have. But the blame is completely on her boss if they bypassed her when publishing this article. Again, assuming this is legit.

Interesting.
LKD wanted to review it and hold off before being sent up. Had "seems to be" and non-confirmative statements suggesting it may not be fact. Boss decides to remove all the non-confirmative parts and goes aheads to publish without LKD approval...

Now is being prevented from any statement saying as such. Something going down in that office of theirs

This does seem to match up with what her deleted tweets said. I don't have screenshots or something of the tweets but people talked in the previous thread about this about her saying on Twitter that her editor put it out before she could get responses: https://www.resetera.com/threads/ko...lity-slur-update-doesnt-seem-to.112306/page-2

Now I feel worse for LKD and have moved from annoyed to genuinely disgusted at Kotaku UK if this is true.

[Potato]

A good rule of thumb I like to use when considering whether or not I am going to get caught up in these "gaming controversies" is the "ask a normal person scale".

I think to myself, if I told my mother/father/friend-not-into-gaming about this issue, how much of a  -face would they make?


It becomes pretty clear in most cases that these issues are just a bit

You're correct, Nintendo or Atlus isn't really the victim here. It's LKD.

lol.

It's not like she doesn't have a history of this kind of writing. She is not the victim here.

[daemon]

Gamergate is gonna have a field day with this, seeing as the boss imposed anti-ethic journalism and LKD was complicit on it. "But but it was my boss". Yeah,no

[Nintex]

Lawl. Like her boss would dare to edit that drivel.

She's trying to pin it on some 'unspecified' boss which is completely made up nonsense.

Just like the last thread, this conversation has become entirely about the author and not the article itself. There is nothing productive about this kind of discussion. This thread is closed.

 

Is weird because they just started whitewashing the journo. Is kotaku paying some bills?

"My train was distinguished mentally-challenged fellowed by 30 minutes" makes no fucking sense

But it sure it funny.

So you don’t mind if I pirate games?

Probably because people with a clue didn't get around to that yet and ask if they really want to believe Rich Stanton, an editor with many years experience working at Eurogamer, Edge, and The Guardian is the one without journalistic integrity or sense of professionalism, or the jim sterling cohort who has - a number of times now - become the story instead of reporting the story, and whose prior employment was in a supermarket.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]
