I want to inform all of you that Kotaku is lying to you by omission. Sweet Baby Inc. attempted to start harassment against a Brazilian Steam curator and only after this did the membership of that curation group blow up. Why would Alyssa senior editor of Kotaku omit this?

I don't know why people are resistant to the idea that Starship Troopers is a satire of fascism. It's practically layered through the whole movie that they're a brainwashed society fed on constant propaganda. The attack on Buenos Aires was in all likelihood a false flag.

It gives me great pleasure that this recognizable hypocritical 'progressive' name that has plagued and gatekept the games industry now gets her lies community noted. Sweet Baby Inc seems to be just Silverstring Media all over again.

Additionally, when it was brought to Alyssa's attention that members of Sweet Baby Inc. have racist post histories, she responded with racism of her own, for which she's been community noted. Hardly an objective journalist.

Hello @MarioPrime . Can you answer why Alyssa from Kotaku omitted key information from her Sweet Baby Inc article? Do you not think it's relevant that members of Sweet Baby encouraged harassment of the Steam curator, and membership of that curator group only blew up after that?

@SophiaNarwitz Is that real?! Snake Eater still to this day has way more emergent stealth gameplay than pretty much any modern game except perhaps with the exception of MGS5! You can make guards eat rotten food! You can blow up their supplies which affects what equipment they carry!

The movie being a satire doesn't undermine it being a great action movie - it is a great action movie. Maybe Paul Verhoven's take on the story was disrespectful to the book. I don't know about that. But on its own right it's a great action flick with obvious themes of propaganda.

If it really is to be Gamergate 2.0, here are some ground rules that will help: 🧵 1. Do not talk to journalists. Do not reveal any personal identifying information to journalists. If you catch a whiff of a journalist in your groups, remove them immediately. They are snakes.
