Episode 37: Kotaku Will Never Be Satisfied with Video Game Representation

from Splash Damage · host Scrivonaut

As is their custom, Kotaku published a stupid piece saying including white cis women characters in games isn’t progressive enough, adding more proof to the never-ending pile of evidence that video game journalists will never be satisfied with their social justice agenda. We also discuss Dia Lacina’s terrible takes on politics in Returnal and Nier’s auto-battle system, Jeffrey Grubb simping for Lacina and his history of being not a good guy, Respawn’s jab at Polygon’s error-riddled article on Titanfall lore, a Riot developer’s based take on critical race theory, Polygon pushing the idea that people have body dysmorphia over Wii Fit, and a World of Warcraft voice actor being canceled over fruitless sexual misconduct allegations.
