Polygon 'ssenior editor Ben Kuchera VERSTS Ben Kuchera @BenKuchera 16h @Rock_DS @jungmuse @radicalbytes @GrasshopperTW1 The music and theme itself is INCREDIBLY political in Tetris 4 Source: https://archive.todaylaOgeV Ben Kuchera @BenKuchera 16h @Rock_DS You'd have to be willfully ignorant to think Soviet music in children's entertainment in 1984 is apolitical Source: https://archive.today/Jp6ID Ben Kuchera @BenKuchera 16h @radicalbytes @Rock_DS @GrasshopperTW1 (Also Tetris is about the impossibility of imposing order onto never-ending chaos) わt38 *8 Source: https://archive.today/plA0Q Tetris was created in 1984 by Alexey Pajitnov as a hardware test for the Elektronika 60 computer. The history of Tetris: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris It had no music. It had no Soviet imagery. Actually it didn't have any graphics. It was created to test hardware. Footage of the original Tetris: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v 00gAgQQHFcQ Not to be children's entertainment or a political statement. Ben Kuchera is one of the top game journalists in the world and he doesn't even know the history ofTETRIS. He couldn't take 5 minutes to Google it. The leading game journalists aren't just unethical, they're lazy and incompetent. This is why #Gamergate exists.

_"*I guess i had to do it if only because people are expecting me to do it. I didn’t even remember this was a thing till yesterday XD*"_ Had to add this because I thought that ppl would actually click the source link and look at the description after all this time
Like...is there any solution to this? Should we start something?

X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26
