Jason Schreier left in 2020, and the title on this post indicates it's from 2017. So even if all of that is true, and none of your negative perceptions were absorbed due to gamergate, this article still came out in the period before the point when you think Kotaku took a turn for the worse.

Oh Kotaku was a low quality website long before that.

And of course I'm being truthful why would you just assume otherwise? Do I need to send you my Brazilian RG and CPF? The internet is so tiresome. Just open the website, read it. It's really bad. This is not a fucking narrative.

Kotaku has always been, and remains, fine. On opening it now, it's basically indistinguishable from any other gaming news outlet. That's why I'm skeptical of your claim that your opinion isn't influenced by gamergate; it has always been an unremarkable video game outlet, neither notably fantastic nor notably terrible.

If you believe that's a good website, I disagree but that's fine by me. Just don't fit my dislike into some crazy American narrative. I truly and genuinely believe it's a bad website solely due to what I perceive to be consistently terrible and cringeworthy reporting I'm not willing to share. This has absolutely nothing to do with politics.
