Reddit has a thing against Gawker, wether justified or not, it isn't simply blind hate. If Gawker had just left Reddit alone to begin with you wouldn't be in that position. As it stands, even if Kotaku is separate from Gawker, giving Kotaku hits will benefit Gawker, which Reddit won't do.
Also, Kotaku has a stigma going for it on a couple of communities. I think it's pretty cool that you're here discussing this stuff with us, and it really has improved the image I had of Kotaku. I'm pretty sure a lot of people on GAF liked Totilo pre-Kotaku, and then it just turned to, "eh, he's on Kotaku now, don't care".
No matter what you do, some people will still hate you, I doubt there's one website that someone on GAF won't come and argue about how bad it is, but I think you should take into consideration some of the stuff people criticize about Kotaku, as you guys have a good staff behind it. I'm pretty sure some of the freedom is taken away by the big corporation behind it, which without knowing any better, I'd say is my main problem with Kotaku.
Anyway, good too see you hanging around, Jason.
