SmashJT posted some of the individual parts of the Kotaku Detected page on his Twitter account.

Here is an archive of that, no links of course but to be honest a lot of this only takes a search engine search to find.


So far there are 17 people listed that were on the Kotaku Detected page, that may or may not be everyone. Only one missing I think is Levi Winslow?
I am howling, did Carolyn Petit age in dog years?! He looks like an italian grandma, guess these cross-sex hormones do have side effects, you fucking loony troon :story:
Also worked for GameSpot and arguably was patient zero for woke game journos when she complained The Third Birthday was sexist.
Should've gone with the more common "Third Birthday was fucking shit and a slap to the face for every PE fan" instead. Dumb troon.
 
Now that it’s back up, local archives should be made.

Here is of the Kotaku Detected page specifically, there might be more across the SmashJT.com site that should be, such as blog posts.
Notably the Kotaku Detected page links, from the few that I checked, all go to youtube (jewtube) so archival mirroring of the videos here to the farms, and odysee/rumble/kick/gab would be good preemptive action.

Wouldn't hurt to add a few more in the list. Nathan Grayson, Zoe Quinn, Jason Schreier, and etc.

This is a fucking demon.
It's not literal, it's like calling someone a blue haired libtard, even if they don't actually have blue hair.
Yahtz is neither a full-blown libtard nor a conservatard, he might seem to be woke but that's solely because his livelihood is very dependant on cucks like Nick and pretty much everyone else at SW. If you want to know what his real views are, listen to the entirety of Let's Drown Out and Ego Review. Be warned though, his political "insight" is as surface level as it can get, aka just barely reading headlines which is why you can spot "orange man bad" in the stuff he writes sometimes.
 
I can't believe that it's been over a decade since Hulkamania ran wild over Nick Denton/Gawker and did what so many others like Quentin Tarantino, The Daily Mail, Condé Nast, and even the fucking Scientologists couldn't manage to do, and take down Gawker for good. Yet somehow these people and the various offspring websites keep popping back up like cockroaches, or those dumb little candles that re-ignite after you blow them out. Seriously, Gawker itself has been "relaunched" at least twice, Jezebel, Deadspin, and Kotaku have at different times all been in various states of "inactivity" and actively published off and on over the past half decade. And there have been numerous complete staff turnovers, layoffs, format changes, hissyfits, and other issues at all of their sites. Yet these same people are always in that circle, either through Kotaku directly, another Gawker offshoot, or through one of the other various media companies they've been involved with. One of The Root editors has deep ties with The Washington Post, and a cursory glance at Wikipedo shows that the whole online journoscum scene is, to quote a weird guy, "It's like one big inbred fuck fest (Sies!)"


Can’t believe it’s now 2024 and I’m still praying on the complete dissolution of Kotaku. Though I guess it’s like Buzzfeed and College Humor, those trashy leftist “news” sites will never truly die they’ll just keep putting out filler rage bait into the void that is the Internet until the last starving employee leaves.
The Onion is just as bad now too, unfortunately. I guess it's not surprising, considering that Gawker/ G/O media owns or owned them both at one point. All of the Gawker properties were horribly pozzed, Jezebel for being ultra-feminist, and all about women, until Current Year™️ when they became all about "women". Deadspin journoscum all had a hissyfit meltdown and all walked out/quit because their editor had the *~AUDACITY ~* to tell them to cut the activist bullshit and stick to sports. Jalopnik now exclusively employs turbo-faggots who actively hate cars. Every other article is whining about climate change and praising EVs, but sidestepping Tesla, because Elon Musk=Nazi for daring to let people speak their minds! And The Root is all about Black "culture" and how  Black people are literally perfect in every way. We should all bow down to  Black people, because they invented everything, society was formed around  Black civilization, and if not for the evil white man,  Black people would rise to their earthly thrones and ascend to the heavens like St. Floyd The Breather!  BLACK!!!

But The Onion is the most disappointing of all though. It just further reinforces the absolute truth that "The Left can't meme" or basically, have any sense of humor at all. Every piece they put out is some variation of "Hurr-durr Trump did a Thing!!!" with a shitty photoshopped picture, and their followers just somehow lap it up. There's often not even a "joke" to go along with it, it's all just petty, thinly, or often not even veiled at all swipes at "Conservatives/The Right". I'm not even convinced that their followers find their shit funny. I think it's just going along with the cult hivemind mentality. They literally have nothing else to go on, which is sad, because The Onion used to be funny. You used to go on their site and be able to make fun of everyone, in any absurd situation, and you could easily laugh at something they put out. Nowadays, I don't think you could beat a sense of humor into their skulls if it were a railroad spike, and you had a 10lb sledgehammer. Seriously, maybe it's me, but I just find the endless and boring overdone one-sided political bullying just tiresome. And is it just me or is this bottom of the barrel shit completely devoid of humor???

And of course the yasslighting, seal-clapping sycophants in the comments can't be ignored. "LOL, Drumpf! MAGATs! Conservitardz!!!1!121!" 🙄

My God, seeing these people and their stupid, smug fucking faces makes me want to go off and fed post so goddamn bad. It's literally pure SJW/DEI faggotry distilled into the worst type of "people" imaginable. Actual piece of shit subhuman scumbags. Every single one. We are looking at the cancer of society right here.
“Uhhhh make Spider-Man black otherwise I’ll call you racist. Give check now.”

What a job.
The state of modern gaming/movies/media/news/culture in a nutshell. I still cant believe that there are actual grifters who use this technique of vague implied threats to get themselves hired as "consultants" for various projects while contributing absolutely nothing of value. Basically it's a self-manufactured career relying solely on the desired asspats of others. A literal parasite on society. One would think thst the endless cheap/free money flos getting cut off would put an end to this faggotry, but for some reason they all keep on doubling down on their insane bullshit.

Sanpaku eyes, at least this is what it almost looks like:

He wasn't woke back then. I remember a podcast where he talks more frankly about stuff while playing a game. I remember one where he played the Rise of the Triad remake coming up a few times (I forget why, I think he shittalks moviebob in it).
Again, woke is just a black slang term that went on to embody the actions of cultural marxism that have existed for the past 100 years and have dominated the mindset of the political left in the Western world and its universities since the late 1960's. My point of Yahtzee being a liberal is that liberals will always move to the whims of what is demanded of them on the goal of their devotion to being 'open minded' and not be outcasted by their perceived greater society. It's always moving and marching towards an endless destination and anyone who has the audacity to stop and settle down at some point (see: Bill Maher or JK Rowling) are considered traitors to the cause, or you're just a victim of circumstance that requires being sacrificed/cannibalized (example: old hardline marxist during China's Cultural Revolution being roped up and executed by young college students called the Red Guard). Yahtzee, for all intents and purposes is still relatively tame compared to the contemporaries of his age group who had the same line of work. Yes, he made jokes here and there in hayday, but he always had a leftist viewpoint of the world and if the cause asks him to make compromises or tributes (insult JK Rowling) then he'll do it.

This reminds me I don't hate journalist enough
 
Jimmy Kimmel literally got away with doing black face in 1999, complete with dumb black guy voice.
So did Trudeau. Look at Howard Stern, what DIDN'T he do? But as long as you either catch the woke mind virus or at least pretend to have, you are absolved of sin by Wokeists. It really is a religion, just repent.

I'd argue that Yahtzee already reached that point when he refused to back his cohorts in bashing GamerGate. In fact he went a bit further, in his Let's Drown Outs of the period he said that he was having trouble 'staying neutral' (if you're neutral, to them you're negative) and further indicated he was leaning pro.

I'd also play Devil's Advocate here a bit and say that what he said about JK Rowling is not completely out of line with what some here on KF have said
It really is a religion, just repent
It's more like a cult

Black slang that I've never heard even a single black person use. Not even once.

I would say it's more of an ideologically mandated "struggle session" than any sort of repentance. Repentance implies that you have shame or regret over your past actions, and I don't think these people even have enough of a conscience to comprehend actual shame or regret. Their only "regret" is when they run afoul of the globohomo woke mob, and risk their career prospects. That's why you always see these Hollyweird, (((media))) and influencer types all squirt out the same meaningless platitudes in lock-step. Whether it's "Trans Rights!" a black profile picture, posting a picture in support of whatever the Current Thing™️ happens to be, or taking part in a feel-good kumbaya song from their Mcmansions while everyone else is forcibly locked down, because "We're all in this together!". It's all about saying or doing the right thing, with no deviation whatsoever. They're all in on it, and they all have dirt on each other, just waiting for one of them to slip up, so they can spill it, and ruin their lives. Look at the stuff coming out about The Rock the very instant he said that he's probably not gonna vote for Biden in this coming election. Like clockwork, multiple media hit pieces come out at once about him being "unreliable" on set, supposedly pissing in bottles, and being "pRoBlEmAtIc", etc.

It really makes you wonder who people like Jeffrey Epstein Kevin Spacey or Harvey Weinstein pissed off to get themselves kicked out of the club?
