Oh. Thanks for what

For trying to get people to stop taking it so seriously is the best way to describe it I guess

Alternatively making fun of people.that thread is painful to read

You don’t usually hear Candy’s voice, because it wasn’t written. Perhaps what she really has to say is more gritty than twenty Call of Duties put together.

can """"journalists"""" write anything about indie games without throwing in some random making GBS threads on call of duty, a game that has nothing to do with what they're writing about, or is it like a law i missed

Call of duty is their opposite because it's a huge budget average game while indie games are low budget average games

like do music critics do that too? do they write about this cool new local band they found and at the end be like "OH YEAH gently caress THE BEATLES" or w/e

or movies? "this new film was pretty good UNLIKE THAT poo poo STAR WARS RIGHT GUYS" but like the film isn't sci-fi and has 0 to do with star wars in the slightest.

gaming 'journalists' are desperate for the same respect critics of other media enjoy so they won't have to lie to hot chicks about their profession so they latch onto anything remotely pretentious to justify their poor life choices

it's really more of a rolling my eyes reaction than anything but yea that's cool. its not like every time i see something i regard as sexist i become extremely emotional sheesh. not all male feminists

what i will get angry about is when mundane everyday sexism is treated as revolutionary filmmaking by dolts like SMG

gaming journalists are at the precious age where they know their profession is poo poo, but they don't have the balls to accept it so they latch onto anything remotely artsy or progressive in a desperate bid to make the poo poo they report on as smart-looking as something like being a music journalist. bosses like them bc their early mid-life crisis makes them good at creating clickbait articles. john walker is a good example of this

then there are cocksuckers like cara ellison and samantha allen who are perpetual blowhard losers that think theyre really misunderstood geniuses and are trying to use fuckin' games reporting as a stepping stone to a more lucrative journalism career where they get to be an intellectual guiding the masses with their wisdom. unfortuantly for them, all of their writing is undergrad freshman-caliber bullshit like this so that aint happening. theyre also good at making clickbait articles
