I just found a video where he alluded to progressives being bad, gamer gate wasn't about harassing women, and he chose to work for brietbart because he truly respects Milo for being contrarian...

He's warning us about the Great Gamer Replacement!WTF does this even mean? Does Polygon have an army of eSports competitors waiting in the wings? Kotaku? WTF even is an eSport crony?
wow, so this guy really doesn't actually care about racism then.
They're also well known for producing straight up trash content.Kotaku is literally the only site that breaks news and the news they break usually involves mistreatment of employees at large publishers or devs. Their work is important, well researched and professional

His history at breitbart needs to be in the OP, Chaz
When though? Recently? Or are you reading content that isn't from Cecelia or Jason? The rest is really just fillerThey're also well known for producing straight up trash content.

This. His views should be in the OP of any thread that references him. He's a garbage human.
Richard Lewis is a terrible human being but he is quite good at his job. Looking back on his past work I can see why he was nominated.
As long as you're good at your job you can get away with being an antagonistic asshole. I hate this. Stuff like this sets a bad precedent.Pretty much, he's an awful person and acts like a complete child on Twitter, but he's broke some pretty important stories.
Do you think people just say "fuck Kotaku except for Jason" for no reason at all? Really?examples means plural, and we already covered how one fuck up that was apologized for doesn't discredit the entire site.
What a true hero, clearly we can't deny his accomplishments...I just found a video where he alluded to progressives being bad, gamer gate wasn't about harassing women, and he chose to work for brietbart because he truly respects Milo for being contrarian...

Oh. All I need to know. I look forward to waypoint addressing this, especially.
There are more good people working at kotaku than just JasonDo you think people just say "fuck Kotaku except for Jason" for no reason at all? Really?
That Jason is the only good journalist at Kotaku is a myth at best, and malicious at worst.Do you think people just say "fuck Kotaku except for Jason" for no reason at all? Really?
When did I say this? I asked for examples of how Kotaku produces trash and you provided one. Focus.

It is not only one bad article. There is also the ongoing crusade by one of their writter against Valve which already spawned multiple article.I keep seeing this and it's just so weird to me. One article was bad, they apologized for it, and the entire publication is complete shit?
just doesn't make sense.
Here's a second. Trash.
Persona 5's Joker, A Stage Builder And More Are Coming To Smash Bros. Ultimate Tomorrow
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s 3.0 update will be out on Wednesday and will add a lot to the game, even if you aren’t buying the game’s paid DLC.www.kotaku.co.uk
I have zero interest in esports, but you have to be pretty out of the loop to not understand just how rapidly it's growing.
What they hired him to do is not the point though is it. He happily worked for a racist hate brigadeIsn't his contribution to Breitbart 6 months of gaming stuff? I know it isn't the best site to be picking up a cheque from each month but these "lol Breitbart" posts strike me as odd given they likely hired him to do what he's good at.
The way I see it, decent "eSports journalist", garbage human given his past offences.

90% of the posts in this thread are trash.

I don't know how many of you actually care about esports but the level of behind the scenes professionalism used to be really bad before certain people reported on the abuse players had to deal with. Heck Lewis exposed how the audience was being exploited by a gambling company.
I wouldn't have called the people doing the reproting back then journalists but if they are now flipping their extensive connections such that they can peddle rumors as well as shine light on important problems in the esports scene then more power to them.
Even in that clip Lewis calls out 3 specific article he felt lowered the quality of esports journalism so he wasn't naming names and leaving it only at that.
I must admit, I'm not well versed enough in what it is Breitbart do. So I apologise if it came off a bit obtuse. All I really know is they're some sort of conspiratorial Conservative blog?What they hired him to do is not the point though is it. He happily worked for a racist hate brigade

i like how you linked this when the top of the article is a retraction and a link to a post about how they fucked up and own that.
man, making mistakes and taking responsibility for them? Trash. Can't believe they aren't pure.
like. Is this the threshold people have that makes them go "kotaku is trash cept Jason"? Seems miscalibrated.

Breitbart News aligned with the alt-right under the management of former executive chairman Steve Bannon who declared the website "the platform for the alt-right" in 2016.

I've added it and understand why it should be there, but if this thread is just going to consist of "Breitbart? Fuck this guy" without any nuanced conversation on what he is talking about, I'm probably gonna request the thread closed because it doesn't amount to any productive discussion.wow, so this guy really doesn't actually care about racism then.

Ah, well fuck that guy then.Writing about games also means writing about GamerGate.
Having read his work, I can hint you into the fact that it was neither critical nor neutral to the subject.
And Polygon, Waypoint and Kotaku are getting attacked constantly by #GamerGate supporters.
This, lmao. Thread title had me very confused.
Wait, should you not apologize when you accuse someone with no proof whatsoever of making slurs toward the disabled?
Nathan Grayson has some kind of personal vendetta against Valve and has been called out numerous times on ERA for it.
As someone else beat me to it, they literally proclaimed themselves the home of alr right journalism.I must admit, I'm not well versed enough in what it is Breitbart do. So I apologise if it came off a bit obtuse. All I really know is they're some sort of conspiratorial Conservative blog?
Honestly when people start railing too enthusiastically at kotaku I'm sorry but my first thought is that you're GG or GG adjacent.
A senior Riot Games staff member went on a bizarre, unprovoked Twitter rant about GamerGate, declaring anyone who identifies with the consumer-driven movement to be a "monster."
The League of Legends champion designer, Daniel Z. Klein, then spent a good portion of his evening meditating on his privilege, prompting some people to voice concerns about his wellbeing.
The outburst echoes that of another Riot staff member, Becks Hernandez-Gerber, who has made a string of anti-GamerGate Twitter posts as well as aggressively spouting the usual social justice warrior rhetoric.
. . .
This type of language is at complete loggerheads with the "anti-toxicity" stance that Riot Games has adopted publicly and made central to their philosophy. Riot staff members, especially those in the player behaviour team, take great pride in talking about how they strive to make the Internet a better place by eliminating verbal abuse and hate speech. It's hard to think of anything more hateful than actually stating you would laugh if someone burned to death because they were part of a consumer driven movement.
I see one article from him about steam / valve, would you mind providing further context or the name of a piece you remember?
