Jezebel refuses to review No Man's Sky because it uses the word "Man"

[Johnny Novgorod]

I'm just sad they presumably missed out on the excellent Batman games.

Sounds like an Onion article. Then again Jezebel would say that for the attention. Those people are a circus.

We need a female villain who cut d*cks to make everyone equal.
Batman's d*ck will be her priority.

Jeez! Remind me to stay away from the Jezebel website. If I wanted to have my intelligence insulted, I would watch some movies from Happy Madison Productions.

I guess after gawker going bankrupt they need every click they can get.

Didn't hear the news? http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/17/business/media/gawker-sale.html

I wonder how that will affect Kotaku.

Who is this? And more importantly, why does it matter? Seriously, do we have to actively go around looking for things to be mad about? I thought that was what SJWs did.

 

[MrCalavera_v1legacy]

I refuse to believe mr. Finger(?) could lack self-awareness so much.

Besides, NO MAN's Sky? Come on.

Actually if your good at it, you don't go out looking. You can have it brought to you. I know quite a few outrage drip feeds.

They've become satire of themselves lol

Next up: Jezebel refuses to write the words 'woman', 'women' and 'she' anymore, because they respectively contain 'man', 'men' and 'he'. Film at eleven.

That's not a recent thing...

Womyn/womon/wimmin and their cousins are terms that have been around since the 1970s. They were coined by feminists to separate ?woman? and ?women? from their etymological roots in the words ?man? and ?men?. They were terms designed to free our gender from its patriarchal constraints.

One of these terms ? wom*n ? is undergoing a resurgence, particularly in Australian university women?s groups. The one at my uni had a vote last year to start using the asterisk.

Look like someone need to recheck their English since I always assume the title meant the sky belong to noone or a play on no man's land?

Even then it's not a total lost given to the game reviews and other people experience on it lately.

Wait a minute... this logo doesn't even say "man"! It says "M/\N"! What does that mean? Why the outrage then? What is even happening anymore???

 

[RaikuFA]

If real: lmao

If fake: lmao

*grabs popcorn*

Maybe the fans will DDOS Jezebel over this too, then Sean Murray will have to apologize for his fans actions.

 

[Angelblaze]

If real: Yeah, AVGN refused to watch Ghostbusters for whatever stupid reason and ya'll loved it. Jezebel can refuse based on anything. It's their site. They choose what goes on it.

If fake: Even better.

 

[Necrozius]

It's fake and very funny. Anyone getting trolled and furious is even more funny to read.

Much like The Rolling Stone piece, I continue to be frustrated by how a widespread problem can only be talked about on a case-by-case basis by the obtuse. People get so into picking apart the individual instances that they can?t see the forest for the trees. It?s exactly what?s happening with the undue use of police force in Chicago, New York, Ferguson, Baltimore, etc. Those of us sensitive to the issue see the bigger picture- it?s not the individual episodes, it?s that there are so many of them that it?s evidence of a problem. Those that wish to pretend the system work will just endlessly uphold the institutional actions by pretending the individual episodes aren?t related, aren?t connected, and aren?t produced by similar circumstances.

 

[Neurotic Void Melody]

It looks like the hilariousness in the comments of that page are starting to bleed into here. Now I wonder who really are the triggered ones. Almost like that Daily Mail article that claimed studies found right-wingers to be of less intelligence, this satire is writing itself. XD

The final line of this is chilling, on the point about money though, at this point it is costing Sony and Dr Luke an extreme amount to hang on to her, they honestly should let her go. The PR disaster alone isn?t worth continuing.
