@greybushgames1 Exactly. Also, the Kotaku and Sweet Baby stuff is FAR more concerning. This Zelda article is just a garbage far left take from one person. The Kotaku and Sweet Baby stuff is part of a giant conspiracy to force radical political agendas into video games on a massive scale. You can also rest assured that this doesn't only happen in the gaming industry. Which would partially explain why woke politics are baked into almost everything now. We just need to find out who is pulling all of these strings. My guess is China. With the largest population (by far), they have power over every major corporation that wants to do business in China. Think about that.
This writer could have inferred defeating Ganondorf and cleansing Hyrule of Gloom as an environmentalist allegory, but he’s not that talented or imaginative.
Wow--just wow. Outside of other mechanics and storylines in the game, TOTK is so unique because it makes the hero you play use creativity to resolve problems over the sword. It made you trace the hero's path, one of unifying people, rebuilding community, and forging a future with different people because of their differences, and because of a shared uncertainty. More than that, grief and mourning are such a big part of this game--and if that is not something we all share after four years of covid...
Always to the breath of fresh air RGT. Happy to see you call out the BS in the industry. Not sure what or who ticked you off but your last few weeks of uploads have been the most real i think you have ever been. When it comes to game, i have felt like I have been living in crazy world for the last 10 year's. So it feels good to see someone with a different set of values arrive at the same conclusion as i have when it comes to games journalism.
Just when you thought some of these 'gaming journalism websites' (and I use the words beyond any degree of irony) couldn't be any more pointless... yeesh. 🤦♂
Jeez. Were just built different broseph 💪🏼 lol I mean… the reaction is just priceless. Who in their right mind wrote that article and it’s sad they’re trying to invade our video games with politics and their personal agenda…. Cmon
Hes been to the hospital! Hes been suspected of felony crimes! Hes done bad things when he was young! Hes almost died! 😂 RGT really, really wants us to think hes COOL.

Can’t people just play games without inserting their politics into it? It’s not this deep! Just play the damn game without turning it into left or right wing politics!
If the people who work at outfits like this worked at a regular news outfit this kind of crap would get laughed out of the newsroom and never see the light of day. Unfortunately, the old way of doing news is dead, the good copy editor is an all-but-dead species and people in the gaming journalism space seem to care more about getting out hot takes, and seemingly, shoving super left-wing viewpoints down people's throats, and where I work that honestly just wouldn't fly.
@@Dreeza68955 I work on the local level so I have a bit of a different perspective, but I get where you’re coming from. MSM was always a little left leaning. It’s the lean became a tilt in the past 15 years or so, with the obvious exception of places like Fox News, WSJ and more lately Newsmax.
Every time I see and read one of these hit, oops i mean, OPINION pieces by Kotaku or Polygon, I always see the writer of it expanding and then exploding like Thunder in Big Trouble in Little China after they play something that doesn’t line up with their agenda and is just meant for escapism and entertainment.
Funnily enough I saw a poster saying “ Diversity” outside a college nearby. The poster had only images of 2 black women abd 3 black men. Hardly diverse??! Where’s the Arab, the Japanese, the Chinese, the Thai, the Spaniard, the east European etc.
Well I hope Nintendo doesn’t over look ten million people who thought this game was good enough to buy. Unlike the pansy who wrote a hit piece who didn’t even play it. If anything I wish this game had more dark humor among its 300 hour run.
It’s not unlike people in Hollywood who want to climb ladder and make a name for themselves. Despite the fact that games pull in more revenue as an industry, games tend to be looked down upon by Hollywood filmmakers. Gaming journalists are no different really. They lack the credibility and status of making it into the corporate press as journalists, the tell-tale sign being their insertion of contrived social problems, so they begrudgingly settle for what they view as a lesser role. It’s not the money these people are after, which the market in gaming does generate. It’s the perception of prestige and fame.
I’m convinced that these writers are writing this b.s. knowing it’ll get rage clicks. No one takes them seriously anymore so the only way to get engagement is with wild takes. Embarrassing that this is what game journalism has become.
My favorite game is the original Super Mario Bros on NES. It does a great job explaining the plight of the proletariat in a capitalist coin driven society. I also enjoy the allegory of the mushroom kingdom and how it represents male sexual agression in an anti-feminist patriarchal society. It is truly groundbreaking and brave for its time.
True but it does also highlight and reflect the inequality of the socioeconomically based healthcare system and underpins the plights of the Italian immigrants working within the boundaries of that system.
This is hilarious, i love to see what this weirdos will say next time, i bet they will call the Mushroom Kingdom of being racist because they don't have any black characters on Super Mario, like no one gives a f... about this things. 😂
Totk is a story of a land that doesn't exist in a time that doesn't exist with characters that don't exist. It's not real just like these peoples reality
It sounds like someone had AI write an article to appeal to a wide audience, but didn't do any editing whatsoever. RGT nailed it with "are you human?!"
Remember when gaming journalism was actually interesting and people actually talked about video games? Why are we giving these “journalists” a platform?
I swear I completed all the side missions and the main story in Tears of the Kingdom and I don’t remember anything about striking workers, harmful government policies, or anything about oil drilling. But, I am willing to get the DLC if it includes this. Make Hyrule Great Again.
I'm just waiting for the inevitable "If you played Super Mario Brothers Wonder, and you liked it, you are part of the patriarchy" article with baited breath 😛.
I miss the early 2000s those days were better these journalists would not survive those days as there weren't many back then and every story would just offend them every single day
It takes a lot to make a chill guy like RGT85 to lose his cool. TBF that is a mind-bogglingly stupid take, it reminds me of that article that tried to say that Ocarina of Time was a g@y coming-of-age story.
I played Tears Of The Kingdom because i found the game very interesting, and a friend decided to give me his copy of the game to try out for a few months. I poured 90 hours into the game in total but sadly i had to give the game back to my friend after he allowed me to have it for around 4 months. I never reached the ending of the game but i really want to continue my adventure in the game, and i want to complete the game so much.
I see where they're coming from. Let them have it Polygon....said absolutely no one. What drugs were they on to come up with that narrative and put it out there? 🤣
I had to see this for myself so I did a google search. Polygon has an article titled "How queerness became calamity in Tears of the Kingdom - Breath of the Wild’s sequel closes the door on queer readings". lol...ok We. Live. In. A. Fucking. Meme.
They have a problem with Zelda cause its infinitely better than the trash they put out, Its jealousy and envy.
Correct.
What are they putting out? I mean wasn't there a devil game that was promoted on this platform I think. Tim Pool mentioned the video game. It was basically a retelling of the Bible and how The Devil is the good guy and God was bad.
Personally, i see it as the 2nd worst 3d zelda. I don't like survival games much. BoTW is the worst for me.

This is the best take on this that I've seen. I stopped reading Polygon and The Verge long ago.

I promote climate change as well. I'm tired of this cold climate and wish it would change.
That just means you have the wrong bingo card.
Kotaku catching more fire for attacking RUclipsrs after the whole Sweet Baby Inc drama

This piece was written way before this sbi drama

TOTK gets enough hate from the Zelda community as is... this article is such a random take to use Zelda to make a narrative for something else
I mean I liked the game though I wished they would have explained more of the origins of the Zoni and who the ancient hero is.
The article sounds like a shroom induced revelation 😂

You do live on earth, sir. Unfortunately, its earth in the second darkest timeline.
Me just playing tears of the kingdom and watching RGT lose it lol that’s why he is my favorite Nintendo RUclipsr
This is why ive moved on to Nintendo and Linux PC. Microsoft and Sony are echoing these type of journalists. Im very happy with my decision.
You know how it's go, someone purchased that non human opinion, that guy would wroth bad about his mother if someone pay him for that.
If it wasn’t for this video, I would have never heard of these people.
I’ll likely forget by the afternoon
The person knows they're talking outta both ends lol it took real effort to come up with that crap 💩
I've always liked yoy RGT but now it seems we have a similar mindset. Good stuff.
These stories blow me away. It’s like who hurt you growing up to make you think this way lol

As a trans person I never once thought TOTK was transphobic. Those “journalists” are weirdos 😐
