Lizzyf620 yt 2 minutes ago I do not expect this comment to stay up for very long, as there have already been numerous balanced and peaceful critical comments removed There is much wrong with this piece. Aside from the obvious, of course - disinterest in reaching out to both sides in an effort to get a full and cohesive story, you played into the role of clickbait. You put your ratings above integrity, truth, and neutrality. This copy-paste of a story has worked out well for your competitors, so no wonder you decided to jump in. In the specific case of Grand Theft Auto 5, you leave out a HUGE piece of information there is not a single mission in the game requiring you to either proposition a sex worker OR kill her. In fact, if you DO kill a sex worker, the cops show up roughly 10 seconds later. The sex workers are so important that the cops violate the laws of physics to literally teleport from the police station, and take your weapons and money. But suppose we cant allow pesky facts like that to interfere with your story, right? Or of course, the fact that you can kill men as well Cant claim MISOGYNY if every character is treated equally. Im assuming none of you bothered to play the game prior to coverage in order to make sure your information from a single source (who profits off this very specific portrayal) was correct. Way to go! You've also followed the trend of using the same two voices in order to stress harassment while completely ignoring the repeated threats, harassment, and doxing of those fighting for the key goals in the Gamergate consumer revolt. May ask why? Why does our wellbeing matter so much less than these two people? While most of the harassment towards both sides has been the work of online trolls, I DO believe all threats should be taken seriously. I also think it's irresponsible and a bit dangerous to assume you know the origin or motive of anonymous online threats Considering Ms Sarkeesian's worst harasser was traced BY a person in the GG consumer revolt to a Brazilian blogger, as well as reported by others involved to both Twitter and US/Brazilian authorities, it seems odd you would omit that information. Actually, no, it doesnt seem odd ata seems extremely typical and expected. Your investigative skills are exactly what I would expect them to be Why does the media never include the very real evidence we have showing documented corruption, collusion, and nepotism in the gaming press? Because from the MSM to the game news publications, you clearly all scratch each others back, subconsciously at the very least You're all cut from the same fabric, the only difference is some of you charge more. You should be deeply ashamed of this piece. I know I would be if I had anything to do with it. Show less
