The troon LKD at Kotaku posted a shitty article, that bad even Resetera was calling it out. Then the mods had to swoop in and stop everyone saying LKD is a shit journalist.
A mod called Matt was taking it quite personally

A better article people should read about this auditory phenomenon: https://www.newyorker.com/science/maria-konnikova/science-misheard-lyrics-mondegreenswww.resetera.com
This Matt guy is a fucking moron. And not the regular kind of moron, but the barely functional kind of moron. There's a post later where he says something like "if she's right (and I believe she is) then it was good to warn potential buyers" which is one of the most stupid fucking things I've ever read and actually got me a bit mad on the internet. "She" isn't right. There's no scenario where "she" is right. Even if "she" lucked out and the japanese lady is actually saying retarded, which is absolutely positively 100% not happening, "she" is not right because the entire article is based on what "she" heard. There's a reason why misheard lyrics videos or stuff like that are really popular, it's really common to mix up some words and it's funny when it happens. You can't base anything on that and do 0 research and call it a day.
Even if the results turned out to be what "she" was expecting, the process was wrong. And I love the verified mongoloid mocking the other users for not being journalists. Guess what, some of them probably are. I'm a fucking journalist myself. It happens, don't assume shit, which is an advice that more of his colleagues should follow so "game journalist" wouldn't be such a derogatory term. You can call everyone who dunks on you a nazi, but it still doesn't change the fact that you have earned that contempt.
