Ben Kuchera is an American video game journalist whose career has included work at Ars Technica, The Penny Arcade Report, and Polygon.
Why He's Rotten
- He has threatened and harassed others who do not agree with his views.
- Has stolen work from another source and when he was caught he had to apologize for it.
- Kuchera admitted helping put together an Ars Technica piece about bsnes, now higan, a SNES emulator that aimed to achieve accurate emulation.
- He's also a hypocrite, for sometime, he published articles on Polygon claiming that video games make people violent; later on when Donald Trump made a similar statement, Kuchera was quick to "change" his opinion.
- He is huge advocate for piracy.
- On August 18 2014, Ben Kuchera posted an article advocating piracy of Star Wars, wherein you could watch an unaltered version of the classic trilogy in HD by using a fan edit compiled of multiple versions.
- In January 2015, Ben advocated a similar piracy venture for The Hobbit trilogy,[1] in which fans cut down the films into a more concise film that also brought the story more inline with the books.
- He is highly supportive of Randi Harper's poorly made GGautoblocker.
- He has created many clickbait articles.
- He tries to hurt others careers, like Brad Wardell and Erik Kain,[2] but the results often backfire on him badly.
- In Wardell's case, Ben helped falsely accuse the game developer and CEO of rape. This is partly the reason why Wardell eventually supported GamerGate.
- Ironically he has made rape jokes and used the "n" word quite casually which he denies doing so. He has also made jokes about the holocaust as well.
- He does not find pedophilia morally wrong.
- He claims to be harassed by GamerGate,[3] later to state the exact opposite[4][5] on GameJournoPros.
- Defended Battlefield V's lack of historical authenticity by calling its critics "manbabies".
- He bashes on others who are learning or speaks a second language.
