Polygon is the worst news outlet on the internet

[quote]Polygon is a website for the renaissance gamer. That's a fancy way of saying we write about Game of Thrones sometimes. But usually games.[/quote] Really, Polygon? Because I see you writing a lot more about real world politics and social issues, using unrelated entertainment media to push an SJW agenda. [spoiler]By the way, I'm not particularly hostile towards either main political party. I'm just upset by Polygon's piss poor journalism.[/spoiler] Here is an example of Polygon twisting entertainment media to bash political opponents. [url=http://www.polygon.com/2017/2/10/14560050/for-honor-deus-vult]For Honor is connected to the alt-right?[/url] This article is absolute nonsense through and through. "White supremacists said 'deus vult' on twitter once, and For Honor says it too. Screw historical context, For Honor is connected to the alt right!" Now let's move on to Polygon's repeated offense of being 'anti-white' when it comes to the Star Wars franchise. [url=http://www.polygon.com/2016/12/18/13982322/people-of-color-star-wars]Star Wars is only good when there's black people in it.[/url] What? Polygon doesn't know what makes a good movie, they don't know what makes Star Wars good, they apparently haven't watched Star Wars before (because it's always had people of color, Lando, Mace Windu, etc), and they're using race as a way to clickbait. [url=http://www.polygon.com/2017/2/22/14688614/han-solo-movie-cast]The new Star Wars movie has too many white people.[/url] I didn't know directors had to fit a diversity quota when they're bringing their artistic vision to life. And as if race matters for characters in a movie anyways. No one complained when the leads for Star Wars 7 were a woman, a latino, and a black man. No one should be complaining that there's white leads in this anthology film. It's borderline racist. Miscellaneous nonsense: [url=http://www.polygon.com/2015/10/26/9616468/halo-5-story-ending]A non-Halo fan talks about how Halo 5's story doesn't matter, and Halo's story should never matter.[/url] Not only is this ridiculously inaccurate, as Halo's story has millions of fans, it's low quality click-bait. Self contradictions: Polygon can't seem to decide whether it loves or hate certain games, such as Titanfall 2. [url=http://www.polygon.com/2016/10/24/13377822/titanfall-2-review-xbox-one-PC-ps4-playstation-4]They rinsed the game in their review[/url], but put it as [url=http://www.polygon.com/2017/1/2/14147110/titanfall-2-games-of-the-year-2016]#9 in their top ten games list, comparing it to Half Life in quality[/url]. I may not agree with the original review, but stick to your guns, you spineless, pandering fools. TLDR: Polygon is pee pee.
