Corruption In Games Journalism, or "Five Guys Burgers and Fries"

[DCG]

Haven't been here for while now :s
(graduated in the mean time)

It's still going on, but it seems the focus is more on individual people now than the media itself (no more active digging and more bitching against people like harper (even though she deserves it))

I see "Corruption In Games Journalism", I think there is an article on one of the greatest Wii games ever made.

PS: It also had a kickass trailer.

Let my try to write a clickbaity headline:

"This "Anti Feminism Protest" prank started innocent enough. You won't be believe what happens at 2:20 ... [Triggerwarning: Violence against hats and cardboard]"

Who's she? Some obscure female character who's part of the problem, because reasons?

She had to hide her gender in the first Metroid because patriarchal rape society and stuff.

Remember, it's not about genocide, it's about ethics in ball morphing.

"-us" is a masculine ending, so Samus has to be a guy, but since the main character in that game is called Metroid (eh kills aliens and doesn't afraid of anything), Samus must be that pirate dragon guy.
I'm not surprised Huff post haven't heard of Samus then, it would require that they finish the game and that's hard, man.

It doesn't require them to finish the game
She appears without a helmet in the first half an hour of Metroid Prime Corruption XD
Or in the intro of Metroid Other M

Or early mission logs in Fusion, where she mentions being called "Lady" by Adam. Even if they can't tell that she's female, that could be seen as a pretty progressive instance of her commanding officer/former gay lover referring to Samus by his preferred gender.

Let's see: everyone who likes this clip is a homophobe ableistic misandrist. Did I miss anything?


Anyway: I've stumbled about a great twitter user: https://twitter.com/GodfreyElfwick.

Pure social justice/ antiGG satire genius (can't do good screencaps atm, will try and add some later unless someone else want's to).
