When will people stop reading Kotaku? This thread is an example of why they are a joke. They wanted to push an agenda, facts be damned, as usual. Her side job is a cause for termination. It would be at most corporations. Of course that doesn't fit their predetermined narrative.

This is what sites like Kotaku do though, they realize the volume of damage they can do just running with the fallacy from the start.  Then correcting hours or days later.  Tons of people already see the wrong thing, and take it as gospel.  Never seeing the retraction, or not believing it when they hear it from another source.  They taint the well from the beginning, so you have to throw the entire story out from the start.  And few people are willing to do that when strongly emotional subjects are involved.
