John Walker strikes again, making a Kotaku clickbait article on Ori Developer and Moon Studios' Thomas Mahler on the hair-dyed liberal lunatics review bombing his game No Rest for the Wicked because it's not woke.

I thought that Marxism, in general, was already disconnected from reality?

Marxism is the observation of how past societies were organized, how they stagnated, how new means of privatization and production overlapped with older established means and ideas, and how one social strata (class) overthrew the other when that overlap eventually results in political violence.

Labor theory of value is simply that a certain thing is only worth the time and effort put into it and two entities (people, nations, unions, whatever) that enter into trade will consider that specific characteristic as the most important when sizing up a trade. Marx never said anything about "Labor Theory of Value" but he did speak on "Social Value" and that a society that no longer has to produce to generate value won't participate in what that society deems as "unproductive". What will that be? I dunno. But I'm sure there really won't be videogames or the internet or sports cars or other shit in "socialism" because why would anyone work for Volkswagen or dig trenches for internet fiber?

That's Marxism. Anything else is Leninism, or worse, Stalinism.

This is almost how you tell a pseudological system from a useful one.

Marxism is great at predicting backwards, or retrodicting, shit that has already happened. It shares this in common with Freudianism and evolutionary psychology and other similar nonsense. It does a great job criticizing other things, like capitalism, that already exist, and its criticisms are actually largely valid.

Then you get to where the rubber hits the road, and it's the Marxist solutions. These ALWAYS degenerate into Leninism/Stalinism/Maoism, because while Marxism does cogently point out numerous flaws in capitalism, the replacements it suggests are invariably even worse.
 
Clearly she missed her calling in life. After the simp money stops coming in and the social justice welfare positions in "game journalism" dry up -- she got Go Media sued the fuck out of with one of her articles, so she's blacklisted now -- she can go be a hairdresser for 2/10 lesbian couples.

Alanah Pearce released a video 10 minutes into which she claims to have never stated that she wrote on God Of War Ragnarock.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=fzsocgxgAtUHarmful Opinions made a video showing where she edited her previous videos to take out the parts where she made the claims.

I never understood these kinds of responses. You know the internet archive exists. You know someone will be bored enough to dig through the archives to resurface your claims. And still you try to lie and say you didn't do it. All you're doing is just pouring fresh fuel onto the embers. All you need to do is ignore it. Eventually people get bored and move on.

Even if she hasn't been in the game journalism industry for years at this point, she's still a game journo and as such isn't smart. The other possibility is that she knows it's bullshit but the drama she stirs up by herself continues to get her engagement. While she's far better off than most women in game journalism, she's not a model and is about to hit the wall like a freight train just based off her latest video above.
 
A heads up, it would seem like Journalists and adjacent devs are coordinating a massive deplatforming campaign in the following months

Keep an eye open and keep this shit in mind when they tell you to show some empathy when they get fired from their jobs.

When you look at the page at first, it's clear there's something going on:

I set it to sort by new, and look what happened?

Btw, the votes most of these people got is in the 30-40 range. The video itself has a grand total of 27 upvotes.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we may be in the rare situation of watching a youtube video get ratio'd.
