IGN reporter Rebekah Valentine has locked her X account and left the platform following the expected backlash she's been facing after criticizing the developers of the highly successful game Black Myth: Wukong. This is the modern state of journalism, everyone. Zero accountability and when proven wrong, instead of coming forward and admitting... they run and hide. This emboldened Alyssa Mercante to step out of the shadows and enter FULL-on damage control mode...

Great points. It's also indicative of their professional victimhood and delusions of martyrhood. They think that people in 'marginalized' communities need them to be make believe Superman for them, ignoring the fact that several people in the groups that they claim to want to protect and coddle are doing just fine without them.

Will someone PLEASE ask Kim Belair if this is what she meant when she said to "terrify them with the possibility of what might happen" if a dev team rejects DEI consultation? Because Game Science did just that, and I'm looking at those Wukong numbers and frankly, I'm not too impressed with those consequences she alluded to.

That’s probably because she was talking out her ass, and she knows it. The real life end to her little scenario is exactly what we’ve seen, you get laughed in your face for your ludicrous demands and told to go pound sand because you aren’t actually needed and hold absolutely ZERO sway over the people that you’re trying to threaten (hopefully without legal action being taken against you). THIS is how the REAL world works.

It’s cause she keeps showing up. Like there’s nothing particularly noteworthy about her as a person or a writer. She’s clearly a grifter with a ton of side hustles journalism, cam girl, the politics hustle Twitter likes so much. But she’s without conviction or personality. It’s either money or attention she’s after and she doesn’t really seem to care about the quality of that money and attention. It’s obvious she’s just a shit stirrer but when someone gets to the point she’s at where they claim to stand for things but are actually just larping they kinda become fascinating for their banality. She’s not interesting but the way she’s not interesting is fascinating because how disconnected does someone have to be to go through life pretending to live for a cause she clearly doesn’t actually have any interest in? Yet she keeps showing up, so people keep noticing, if only because she’s trying desperately to act like she’s a part of these conversations. Even though she essentially just showed up and started shit posting out of nowhere.

@@kaczan3 Which is just free advertisement these days. Kotaku has been around for 5years orso? Game websites got irrelevant a decade ago since it was obvious they were just extended advertisements for game companies. Because they needed the early review copies to try and be relevant...they would just shill for those companies or else they wouldn't get any next time. Hence everybody these days still thinks a 7/10 is a crappy game, since that was pretty much the lowest score those shill sites would give in general. And all the added activism that started around the time, didn't do them any favors either. So Kotaku never was relevant to begin with, as gamers moved on to KZbin reviews from actual gamers a decade ago.

I’ve played a few hours and so far so great. The graphics are amazing, the sound is amazing, the design is amazing. I couldn’t imagine a better interpretation of the characters. It feels like a mix between Sekiro and God of War, but less brutal, more linear and the difficulty is a bit too varied, imo. Some bosses take many tries until you get it, and the basic enemies can hardly even get a punch in before they go down, but maybe that’s how it should be. Do not miss out on this.

Don't expect humility from a group who calls themselves "pride" and wholly believe to be in the right side of history. The way these people treat fiction speaks volumes about their personality and mindset. Most can't separate fiction from reality and tend to associate the author to the content they create (i.e, if you write dark content, you're deemed an evil person). Given these people all love to write Mary Sues (idealized self-inserts), it hints at how they perceive themselves (or want to be perceived). At best, it suggests lack of creativity, at worst, it's just plain narcissism.

often the ONLY reason they write is so they can self insert, they have the fantasy they can trick other people into thinking as highly of them as they do themselves... but the self insert is always really really unlikeable, which is hilarious

Anybody noticed how these guys private their accounts and apologize once they get called out? Denims, toneman, IGN etc? It means we're doing something right, they will retreat to their natural habitats and we'll be right here waiting for them to inevitably return 😉

I only disagree with one thing you said: it isn't just abhorrent journalism, it's abhorrent behavior in general. This is the kind of behavior that got a kid labeled as a brat and/or bully when I was in grade school, and immediately made most kids avoid that person like the plague. Hell, this is the kind of behavior that, if my parents had ever caught me even being half as malicious for any reason, would have found a way to make being grounded preferable. I don't know how so many people got this far in life behaving in such a disgusting manner, but I'm hoping that maybe one day just a few of them will finally realize it really was them all along, and try to do better. I know it's probably never gonna happen, but...I can still hope. Just like how I can hope that before that would ever happen, Twitter adds a feature so you can't just unblock someone to yell at them from "safety" and block them again. Maybe add a cooldown on that person so you can't re-block them for 12-24 hours. Or at least until they have a fair chance to respond to you. Something to completely ruin that tacky tactic they love.

The hilarious thing is that, if she had come forward to apologize, people would have been like, "Good. Don't do it again." And then just removed her from sight and mind. Now however? There isn't anything she can say after all of that.

If they had kept their "activist" mouths shut, then the audience for the game would've been much smaller - there were many like me that had either never heard of the game or thought "not for me" and had it on my ignore list. However, after the controversy started, I looked into the game more and am now considering buying it.

To be fair, a lot of the players on Black Myth: Wukong are in China. One source says almost 89% plus another 1% from Hong Kong, so basically 10% non-China. But over 200K is still impressive.

If people are wondering about this mistranslation, it's a Chinese idiom. While SOUNDING crude, it's a saying to convey something (that something being 'too much flattery is awkward') Certainly not worth trying to destroy lives over. These "journalists" should be charged.
