See, Dale North has professed to have great personal affection for Jim Sterling. And that might be the case, if it weren’t for the fact that that new leadership is Dale North. So you might think that I would be pleased by the fact that Destructoid is going to have new leadership. Predictably, I never received a response. It was at that point that I sent an email in complaint to Niero ( a copy of which I posted here on this blog). Which, you know, didn’t sound like he’d really learned a whole lot from the experience of being raked over the coals for calling someone a “feminazi slut”. Now if you’ll excuse me, there are some vaginas that have not been raped yet, and Kirby told me I need to “get on dat sh*t!” Of course, less than 24 hours later, Jim published a story that he ended by saying: It was around this time that a reader forwarded an email from Niero responding to his complaint about Sterling that pretty much read as “he crossed a line, but he’s totes a nice guy! honest!”. This actually caused enough of a flap that a non-apology was issued by Sterling, that mostly went ‘okay that was bad but she deserved it and the nasty feminists are being meeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaannnnn to meeeeeeeeee’. See, I wrote my first post about how Jim Sterling is a repugnant human being and blatant misogynist after a Twitter-dustup in which he called a woman a “feminazi slut”. …great.įor those of you who’ve started reading this blog recently, or who don’t remember this from previous posts, a bit of a recap. So who did they replace Niero with? Dale North. I guess Niero has gone and gotten himself a job at Harmonix, which is great for him I guess. It seems that Destructoid has a new Editor in Chief. Nor do I read my Google Alerts for Jim Sterling because, you know, what’s the point?īut something happened to catch my attention. I don’t visit periodically to see what bullshit Jim Sterling has gotten up to recently. I’ll admit that I’ve started actively avoiding content on Destructoid, since I know that all that’s going to happen is that it will inevitably make me mad. It’s been a while since I’ve written about Destructoid. Thing the first: Destructoid’s new Editor-in-chief But I’ll talk about each thing separately and then come back to elucidate how these things are connected. They’re going to seem unconnected up front, but they really are. So there are two things that I want to write about today. The internet being the internet – there’s no real point in taking this down. He was actually gracious enough to let me interview him about how he’s reversed his stance and how that happened you can read the interview here on Gaming as Women. Imagine that! At the time of writing these posts, I never could have imagined that Jim Sterling would have a change of heart, but he did indeed. So the funny thing about people is that they change.
