Nothing new, I'm afraid. I look for gigs and I always see some dorks (WHO DON'T FUCKING PAY) including a lengthy anti social justice rant on their ads. Shocker! Their sites suck!
Wow, I can't believe One Angry Gamer is starting a gaming media outlet to totally own the libs! Finally, a site that respects my sub-sentient intelligence.
EDIT: I really love how "politics" is just used instead of "stuff we hate". It reminds me of those posts of people bombastically championing Metal Gear as a politics-free series. It's just baffling to me, but also really, really funny watching the idiot parade in full swing. Ah, the simple joys of life.

ONLY OBJECTIVE REVIEWS!
For example:
"This game exists. It has guns. There are 7 of them. I am forbidden to say whether or not they are good or bad..."
" Gaming Instincts, where the only discussion about videogames we care for is that of carefree 15-year-old boys, because we went through life so unchallenged by any of the conditions of our upbringing that we never had to fight or grow up for anything, and our entertainment products are everything we identify with! Our only struggle is the virtual struggle! Welcome! "
" Except you, SJWs. "
Seems like a bunch of nobodies. The founder is a guy who wrote 6 reviews for Gaming Bolt and... that seems to be the extent of his fame?
Well, I am sick and tired of little dipshits "crying and bitching" about identity politics in video games.....but I don't think it's the side they're thinking of.
Essentially this outlet is crying and bitching right in their description there. Funny how that works.

This stance doesn't even make sense, there are plenty of games you wouldn't even be talk about....like how the hell is someone supposed to talk about Metal Gear Solid games without anything political? Or Wolfenstein? The very nature of some narratives [because their writers & the companies who made them aren't afraid of backlash] would make this an impossible task while also trying to complete the goal of talking about games.
Gaming Instincts? Ah yeah, the owner of that site (who was verified by the way) got permanently banned on this forum for spreading fake information about Microsoft's E3.
I'm going to suggest that they will do it by not having even a rudimentary understanding of those games.
I'm busting a gut, it reads like a 90's style XTREEEEME ad but for edgelords
They say they pay a "competitive" rate but something tells me they think competitive means, like, a fiver and a pat on the back
I wonder if this "no agenda" includes BOTH right and left ideas, homophobe and LGBT opinion pieces...
It's their site and they can do and ask whatever they want to their writers if they want a certain style, but i would be stupid for asking to stay totally neutral and to the point of reviewing a game with "no politics".
