Their content was pretty bad. This was a long time coming.
- I didn't even know it was still around. I thought all those websites shut down years ago, apparently not though: Kotaku still seems to be around.
  
  I assumed the Hulk Hogan / Peter Thiel lawsuit killed em all, but guess they held on
  
  Several Kotaku writers quit and launched their own operation recently, named Aftermath.
- It didn’t used to be. It’s taken a hit over the past few years. It used to be pretty good.
  
  I might disagree with you. Check the date on this wonderful article: https://jezebel.com/have-you-ever-beat-up-a-boyfriend-cause-uh-we-have-294383
Good fucking riddance. Those asshats published an article wherein several of their staff writers joked to each other about physically abusing their male partners.
People need to remember that not all feminists are good people. There really are some misandrist feminists out there. More than most people would like to admit.
Oh, that’s unfortunate. That’s a site I remember fondly for some solid reporting and commentary over the years.
I guess it took a dive over recent years and never recovered.
- I only remember them for being loose with facts, extra snarky, and full of shallow articles.
  
  Same. All I remember of that site were man hating sexist articles.
  Good riddance.
  
  They weren't really feminist either. Just really sexist.
- There’s a reason your fond memories aren’t recent. Jezebel is officially shutting down now, but it died years ago.
  
  Yeah, I’m mourning the loss of what it was, not what it has been.
  
  Yeah. Oh, well.
