What tactic? At no point, at any point, did that Daily Dot article denounce Studio FoW
Unlike the hit job on Gunn, there were no accusations of any kind
Subverse "apologize" for allowing known racist youtube to cover their game

Using a persons previous work to suggest their present work will be problematic.
They literally don't do that though. Hell, they don't condemn the "giving exclusive previews to the white supremacist neo-nazi" thing
It's possible to report on a thing happening without condoning nor condemning such thing
yes they could have done but pointing out the negative views of others does kind of help frame the piece now doesn't it?
You're absolutely right: they should've self-censored themselves to avoid hurting anybody else's feelings and not mentioned their entirely accurate porn tags
Self censored?
Why can't they take criticism of their disingenuous takes?
Because far as I know, they aren't on the Escapist forums reading this thread.
Not that it's much of a criticism: "even though you didn't say teaming up with the neo-nazi was bad, you mentioned a previous bit of controversy also in terms I didn't like, and that means you want people to cancel the entire game"
Like, how do you respond to that?
Oh right they just tried to showcase the action as yet another in a long line of problematic actions from the company and how such actions made people feel bad.
Yeah, damn them, reporting on linear time.
How fucking dare they.
Good lord dude
See, if I were going to be attacking Studio FoW, I'd be hammering quote a bit harder on the "gave exclusive previews to a neo-nazi, made a corporate non-pology about it, them un-non-pology-ed it".
Not the faintest of dog-whistles your tinnitus is ginning up.
yet they also did mention that. The problem is to actually go further requires them to specify allegations and show evidence which if they don't think is actually very good evidence then showing it would actually undermine the points being presented.
Or, maybe, it's just a thing that happened and they aren't try to raise points
Not everything is a desperate fight for the soul of western civilization or whatever the fuck
I have known about Arch for awhile, I remember the moment his downfall into more "fascist" politics was when he first met Carl Benjamin (Sargon of Akkad) via stream
He probably always had it but it was more unleashed with Sargon
