Ben Kuchera
Ben Kuchera is a dishonest person who writes SJW clickbait because he knows how stupid radical feminists are, and he knows he can use faux outrage to further his career (and bank account).
Kuchera before becoming an SJW clickbait artist
Ben started his career submitting articles to "Ars echnica", which is fitting because he is himself an ars. Eventually, since the site has low enough standards to employ Ezra Klein, they hired Ben too. He wrote for them for about a decade before moving up to a real benchmark of internet journalism and joined Penny Arcade, where he had a comradery with one of the owners due to being equally bald. After a coupe of years there the column (or was it a show?) was shut down and he moved to become the big boss of a shithole called "Polygon".
But what's interesting isn't his sad excuse for a career, but rather the sort of things he used to say when he would regularly post on the Ars Technica forums. While today he is as full-fledged SJW, the Ben Kuchera of yesteryear was not the same. In his time on the forum Ben would often voice his contempt for immigrants, love for race and rape jokes and would call ignorant hood niggers retards. Ben was a pretty cool guy, calling people trannys, defending pedophiles and telling leftie apologists to take their white guilt and political correctness and shove it up their ass. Here are some of his posts that sound like something out of a thread on EDF2:
After landing job as SJW clickbait artist
How the mighty have fallen. Today Ben is a social justice retard who spends a third on his time on secret mailing lists trying to secretly threaten people into shutting down dicussions he doesn't like, a third on twitter trying to threaten people publicly into shutting down discussions he doesn't like and the final third writing articles about his friends and Patreon benefactors (like Zoe Quinn and the people who made "Gone Home") the discussion about whom he had recently attempted to shut down.
His shit site - Polygon
"Polygon" is the turd to end all turd. A decadent hell-hole staffed by talentless hacks and their family members. The site is infamous for its nepotism, shoddy reporting and the fact Ben's head is so giant and bald that he looks like a bobble head. Don't believe me? Think that there is no way a site could be that corrupt and that Ben Donating to Zoe while both reporting and white knighting her is a one time thing? Well, what about the time Ben hired his fucking brother to work there, even though he is even less qualified than Kuchera himself?
Nepotism not your thing? How about straight-up fucking bribes? Like the one that one of the writers accepted from a publisher in exchange for writing a good review? But you don't have to pay money to get a good review on Polygon! No! You can just be one of the writers' friends! Which brings us to...
PolyGone-Home
"Gone Home" is the #1 game in video game history as far as dull walking simulators are concerned and the best game as far as anything and anyone is concerned if you ask the homos as "Polygon".
The game was worshiped in the gaming press because it was glorified pro-gay propaganda made by gay people, about gay people and for self-hating straight SJW's. Even though absolutely everyone hated it and were so adamant on it not being a game that the people who reviewed it had to write follow-up to argue that "OMG YES IT IS YOU FUCKING SHITBAGS!", the "game" still got by on a variety of overly-positive reviews written by the creator's personal friends like Leigh Alexander, who was seen in pictured hanging out with one of the creators, and Kirk Hamilton of Kotaku who was seen talking about watching a movie with another.
But, of the sites who this pile of crap good reviews, none are more than Polygon, two of the writers of which were either long-time friends with the developers or recent gusts on their web-show. The site even gave GH a perfect 10/10 score (one of only 8 in the site's history) and named it it's game of the year.
By comparison, "Bayonetta 2", which had received a perfect score from every other site, got a 7.5 from a writer who couldn't find anything bad to say about it but still docked it 2.5 points because you could sort of see Bayonetta's ass.
Other Controversy
Kuchera the Brony sympathizer
Kuchera is no stranger to threatening people online, but in one bizarre incident he picked a really interesting reason to do it over.
Patricia Hernandez of Kotaku had written an article about Bronies, to which Kuchera responded by writing his own article attacking her article. In the end, Kotaku's article was "updated" and Kuchera's article was deleted. But it just goes to show that, even when Ben is attacking tumblr-bred retards, he's doing it to defend someone even worse.
Kuchera Vs. Erick Kain
Ben Reports Fake Rape - Ruins a Career/Gets Children Beat
Believes Tetris is communist propaganda
In what can only be described as something that would make McCarthy green with envy, Benny and his red scare paranoia believes that Tetris is actually a tool of the communists to take over the world or something. One can't expect a game journalist to do any research or have any actual knowledge of the world. This is the definition of Full McIntosh.
The Kremlin built in 1561 only predates communism with several centuries
The music that predates Communism is communist
