Regarding the Kotaku article, Jaffe speaks,
"Dear writer at Kotaku: a) YOU don't get to place stuff you don't like in a sentence and then decide to call it misogynistic. Please leave that to Websters. b) you also really should try to watch the whole interview vs. the small snippet that gametrailers put up. I am NOT saying you will like what I said better or worse BUT at least you would then not make statements about what I said BEFORE of AFTER the clip that they chose to use in their piece. And IF you don't have access to the clip, you should at least- in your reporting- make it clear there MAY have been something before or after given the way the piece was edited (i.e. I didn't just SAY it out of thin air flowing from talking about Sweet Tooth's machine gun mechanic and then transitioning into blow job talk. Finally, YOU are the one who sees sexist content where there was none intended. LETTING someone- ANYONE- win in order to gain favor is not a sexist concept. The reason I was addressing men vs. women was because AT LEAST 95% of our player base for TM is male and I was speaking to my audience. And hell, for all you know, I made a similar statement to the ladies and it was cut out (again, if I was the editor, fine...but I did not edit the clearly edited piece)."
Really don't know why any of us are giving this so much attention, especially considering it's Kotaku. Though Jaffe really should watch what he says more if he's concerned with his and his company and his work's public image. I get that it's all in fun but it seems there's always something he says that pops up on one of these BS articles and nothing any of us or Jaffe says is going to change how these "journalists" report their stories.
Though I really question GT here. If Jaffe said they had an editor for that, why did he/she choose to leave that snippet in there? I thought that was the point of editing?
