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.

    Another editor slapped a guy when "he told me he thought he had breast cancer." (Okay, that one made us laugh really hard.)

    Jesus fuck. The guy thinks he has cancer (yes, males can get breast cancer, it's just less common than in women) and not only did she assault him for the thought, but her coworkers finds this assault funny? Fuck these people.

    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.

    There’s a reason your fond memories aren’t recent. Jezebel is officially shutting down now, but it died years ago.
