Call Schreier if old
Saw this article on my Twitter feed linked by the beautiful Patrick from GiantBomb; it seems to be written by a N4G user named dedicatedtogamers - I don't know who is behind this, but I think that person did an excellent job of summing up my current feelings about Kotaku. And I know that many here feel the same.
I felt the need to talk about Kotaku - I mean it's clear at this point that even though there seem to be a very few really good articles and sometimes even big news that Kotaku's mostly full of these fucking weird articles that make your head spin when you realize how absurd they are in most cases. Gender issues and homophobia are a known problem in the industry just like in every other industry today, and I hope that one day this won't be the case anymore; but fuck me if it doesn't feel like Kotaku is using these subjects as a springboard for weird observations that don't offer solutions but fuel the fire even more.
What do you guys think of them? Is there really a place for them on GAF anymore despite their breaking news and rumors? I mean this can't go on forever: they post a questionable article and users spend pages and pages to discuss the obvious absurdity of it; there's a bunch of well-educated people in GAF that must have something to say
And if you know me, then you know that usually I don't make these kind of threads; but man, it's enough
