He has a bunch of GGers on his case constantly.
FWIW I think Patrick was stupid to post that tweet. Not as stupid as the rejects in the replies right enough, but still pretty stupid.

Kotaku has improved quite a bit with this editorial team. Hope they can spin-off or something. Hard to say what happens now, but they sure as shit don't have millions of dollars lying around.

very unprofessional, i like it
GG people have latched back onto him fairly recently.
The writers there recently unionized and seems like they're treated pretty well. The good writers there do good work. I kinda don't see a benefit of them moving to a new place. The damage to the good ones will likely be minimal overall, but it's not a net positive.
Gawker has a few really good sites, and some great writers. It'll be a shame if those go (but they'll probably survive, even if sold).
But I can't blame people for disliking the network. Other shitty publishing conglomerates try to stay invisible on their better publications, but Gawker syndicates like crazy and their growth strategy relies on content intermingling - so it's harder to ignore the scumminess.

If it wasn't this, it'd be something else tomorrow or in a month or in 3 years.
They've overstepped the mark a number of times. It was always going to catch up on them.

Well Pokken is as confusing as I anticipated it would be, for someone who doesn't play fighting games, but man is it pretty. Need to add tutorial videos for it and Subnautica to my downloads list tonight.
Sorry, wasn't trying to be dismissive. I just wasn't familiar with the band he was talking about so I didn't know how big a deal it was.
Wait, you don't know GNR?
I'm not the biggest fan, but I thought awareness of them was just a general thing.

I didn't know what Pink Floyd was until David something did a show here last year. People called me crazy back then.

Giant Bomb Presents: Introducing Patrick Klepek.
If things go south I hope Patrick and Jason team up and travel the earth breaking mews.

I've heard the name before, but I couldn't tell you any of their songs or who was in it. I'm weird, though. I only listen to country/folk/blues sort of stuff.

I listened to the whole of UPF, and I couldn't tell you anything about what happened other than Chinese Democracy, and George Brett.

She's deeply involved with the GG people. At least, that was my take given her crusade against that NOA employee.
I used to think you were cool Bowlie.

She's not involved, she took a stance on a specific subject.
I thought people uncovered some other ties between GG people and her or her foundation? At least, I thought they had been involved before.
That story was a mess overall, so it's really hard to find out what actually happened. All according to GG's design I guess.

Yeah, looking at her foundation, it doesn't look like she would be deeply involved with that.

Is it really though? I only see people on here bringing it up anymore. I'd imagine there's a few diehards left, but meh?
It just makes me wonder, did these people's parents just not raise them right? Or were they garbage people from the start?
Patrick is getting a lot of hate posts.
Strong correlation with the anime avatars...
It's a bunch of assholes who feel their hobby is under attack and can 'strike back' anonymously with zero repercussions. Until Twitter improves anti-harassment tools or the legal system actually starts dealing with online harassment, it's here to stay unfortunately.
I will never understand why other people who are into anime/Japanese games can't deal with those things getting criticized. I can admit those problems exist while at the same time enjoying the thing still.

There have always been assholes on the Internet. The only difference now is that they have agendas tied to their bullshit and platforms where they can openly spew their garbage all over a public space.
I hope we can still be friends, man.
As always.

Me, is that OK?
Assholes like those make it difficult to actually enjoy the things I want to enjoy. Becomes nearly impossible to discuss things without their shit invading.

What is "the legal system" going to do?

When law enforcement actually gets the tools they need to start charging those committing harassment with real crimes, then shit might actually calm down. There need to be real consequences for people to learn.
:lol
as someone who likes anime a lot, the fact that a bunch of shitheads also like anime makes me very sad
