This is even worse than the "alternative person" thing I had to endure.
Are you sitting down for this?
There are people out there who have grandly dubbed themselves "gaming
journalists". They are people who write articles about... video games.
It gets better. There is a "movement" (that is the word they use,
anyway) called "The New Gaming Journalism", evidently modeled after the
"New Journalism" of Tom Wolfe/Hunter Thompson/etc. Seriously.
video games = sad

f.cked up the Japanese are. I mean, just because their culture is
dominated by violence and perversion, it doesn't mean they can't make
great cameras. What really makes me sick is when they use cartoons to
get away with pedophilia. 'Oh it's only a drawing!', the pedo anime
apologists will say. 'Maybe she is a 3000 year old spirit trapped in
the body of a little girl, so it doesn't really count.' I hate these
people."

I don't keep up to speed on these things, Rob, because then I'd have to
kill myself.
