The Top Posts of /r/KotakuinAction: a ballad of effort driven laziness.

So a few days ago I made a post about how on /r/KotakuinAction, you have to scroll down a lot of posts in the "top posts of all time" category to find any post relating to just video games.

So I'm going to go through those and make fun of them because I'm a smug jerk

Post #1 - "Cyanide & Happiness animator nails the Fine Bros drama"

Know what? Good for them. Their top post of all time isn't a sexist piece of crap. It doesn't have anything to do with video games, but hey, it isn't awful.

Post number 2 - "Ellen Pao to NYT: "the most virulent detractors on the site are a vocal minority, and that the vast majority of Reddit users are uninterested in what unfolded over the past 48 hours."'

It's just blatant Ellen Pao hate. It's old now since the whole thing happened years ago. Not really sure what to say.

Post #Three - "[Meta] One of many proofs that SRS receives special treatment from the admins. One subreddit plans to remove [Give Gold] button, is threatened with being shut down and banned by an admin for violating Reddit TOS. SRS has had it removed out for a long, long time without so much as a peep."

'WHAT ABOUT SRS"!!! Again. I don't really have much to say.

Post number four - "Yale girl who screamed at professor, "who the fuck hired you!?" served on search committee that hired professor."

Again, how does this have anything to do with video games, or even ethics!?

Post numero 5 - "A joke making fun of Reddit CEO Ellen Pao is removed for "harassment" after receiving more than 3000 upvotes."

Rule 4: Posts that result in any harassment of an individual...

Everyone in the comments are harassing Ellen Pao

WHY WAS THIS BANNED GUYS!?!?!?!? CENCORSHEEEP!!!!

ポスト#6 - "User banned from /r/Planetside after using a meme which involved the word "trap" and is forced to submit a 500 line of text essay on the impact of transphobia in America in order for the ban to be lifted."

Oh what do ya know, something I can actually comment on! (Wooh!) So, if you don't know, there is a boss in Dark Souls who, in his lore, he was raised as a woman and his asthetics are very feminine, so to speak. I'm assuming (since they didn't post the actual comment, just the mod chat log), what the person posted, was a player made message from the game saying "Amazing Trap Ahead" in front of the boss room, referencing the fact that the boss looks like a woman but is actually a man. (Tr*p is a slur for trans people) So yes, this was transphobic and deserving of punishment

This sorta kinda relates to video games... but not really.

הודעה # 7 - "To protest recent CEO/admin decisions following many years of CEO/admin mismanagement, July 10 has been suggested as a no reddit day. Find the details at /r/justsaynope."

And on this day, reddit was actually a decent place.

Beitrag Nummer 8 - "[Censorship]Youtube cuts ad revenue for Phillip Defranco for posting Annaliese Nielsen video"

OH NO A PRIVATE COMPANY REMOVED A VIDEO OF SOMEONE BEING A JERK!!! MAH FREEZE PEACH!!!

Again, nothing to do with video games

우편 번호 (9) - "Maddox with a perfect response!"

Just old Ghostbusers movie hate. Nothing really to talk about. Still awful and still has nothing to do with gaming

◻□⬧⧫ ✁📂📁 - "100,000 people have now signed the change.org petition, requesting that Ellen "From my cold, dead hands" Pao step down as CEO of Reddit Inc."

More Ellen Pao hate. I'm seeing a pattern.

Rhif y swydd 11 - "/r/all : I encourage you to unsubscribe from /r/news"

/r/news won't let people be racist. How terrible /s.

What does this have to do with video games?

โพสต์ หมายเลข 12 - "[Drama] Reddit's replacement for Victoria was plucked straight from Tumblr, cries misogyny when discussing a deleted video as part of her job: "With regard to being a professional - please don't mansplain to me."'

Tbh, I have no idea what's going on here. No context is given... which seems to be a pattern in a lot of these posts...

Post Nommer 13 - "[Censorship] /r/Pics is automatically (or manually) removing any post title that contains 'Victoria' in it, under any context. Unsurprising, considering it has admin krispykrackers in it's moderator list."

The mods are trying to stop people spamming. How terrible. /s

Номер сообщения 14 - Facebook declares Wikileaks links "unsafe"

One person experienced this and no one else is having a problem. This is totally something to worry about guys!!!! /s

Messaggio numero 15 - "Found this on /r/WTF"

A person couldn't find a sub to post his video in.

Uhh, anyone know when we're getting to video games?

آخر عدد 16 -"An old Reddit admin speaks his mind."

Just more Ellen Pao hate... I'm legit feeling tired of this right now.

POST #17 "Video game designer Daniel Vávra is called racist by an SJW for not putting black people in a videogame about medieval Czech kingdom. Explains that this is because there were none. [X-post from /r/QuitYourBullshit]"

FINALLY! VIDEO GAMES!! Oh wow that was an experience.

The post itself. It's just making fun "SJWs". Par for the course really. I can't really say anything that hasn't already been said.

That was anti-climatic.
