The... everything from this year's VGAs confirmed for me one thing: gamers love - and I mean with their whole chests - to be angry

If you can look at an online artist's dark skin character and think, "I could change that character's skin tone, and nothing would change," just assume they can't draw Black people and move on with your life

I wrote more words about how it feels to be a translator watching the games press report on AI and labor, coming from a field that's fought these battles for decades. It may look like I'm beating up on one outlet, but it's not about them; I've been trying to write this for me and my peers all year.
