David Wong did an AMA not long ago about being Cracked.com’s head editor, and had some great things to say in response to repeated accusations of the site being “liberall biased” or “social justice flavored.” Includes admitting to and working on problematic attitudes, something rare and exceptional among anyone in entertainment.
Whatever you think of Cracked or any of David Wong’s work, at least read the last paragraph here.
“I don’t want to work for a site that stomps people who are already down.”
That’s it, that’s what every content creator should be saying.
His comment about a creator’s politics existing in their art whether we like it or not is so important given Gamergate and the like.
It is actively impossible to make something purely apolitical so saying “I don’t want politics in my games/films/literature/media/reviews” you’re really asking for politics you personally agree with so it flies under your radar and everyone else should shut up.
