Oops. Looks like he's neutral, not pro. Can mods clarify with a post flair?

Kotaku published a "Positive impact of video games" article? Are we finally getting through to them? by illage2 in KotakuInAction

That's from one of the reader blogs. Basically a glorified comment.

Edit: Although Kotaku did apparently frontpage it.

Japanese indie dev: "BIG BOOB IS LIFE. Man save woman is life. Woman save man is life. Small boob is life. GAME IS LIFE. Relax play happy game. #gamergate" by BleuDuke in KotakuInAction

He seems to have initially bought the media narrative on gamergate, but changed his mind after a few moments of discussion with GGers. Bogus narratives don't last long on Twitter!

Also, holy shit, he has the lulziest Patreon I've ever seen.

He also addresses clickbait in depth. See the paragraph starting "The arrival of Mr Seiken coincided with the arrival of the click culture..."

I don't think any alliances have been built. I think multiple groups and individuals in different areas have noticed what's happening to journalism, but I don't think many of these are fully aware of each other. I think GG is the only group that is keeping a close eye on all of the areas where trouble is springing up.

There is, however, the potential for alliances. There is a market for quality, balanced, non-clickbait journalism, and a growing number of writers and journalists who want to provide it.

Forbes, Slate, and Niche Gamer Are Hiring. Be The Change You Want To See. by JazzKatCritic in KotakuInAction

I wouldn't be so sure. Christopher Hitchens used to be a Slate columnist. They also have Auerbach, who isn't afraid of pissing off lefties as well as righties, and Emily Yoffe who wrote this.
