Alyssa Mercante Loses It, Begs 'Chuds' to Keep Making Videos!

Alyssa Mercante, Kotaku’s senior editor, has been embroiled in controversy for months, and it looks like she’s officially lost control of the narrative. After countless Twitter rants, failed cease-and-desist letters, and accusations of harassment from the gaming community, Mercante is now seemingly endorsing the very content she once tried to silence. In her latest tweet, she boldly stated, "You Keep Making Those Videos," practically inviting more scrutiny.

The internet has been quick to react, with Twitter users roasting Mercante's sudden change in tone. Memes, GIFs of waving white flags, and sarcastic reactions flooded in, mocking her failed attempts to suppress criticism. This meltdown is only the latest chapter in Mercante’s ongoing drama, which includes her high-profile clashes with critics like Smash JT and others who have called her out for her antics.

At the core of the backlash is Mercante’s unrelenting push for woke activism and her insistence on pushing divisive narratives through her platform at Kotaku. Her critics, many from the gaming community, have called her out for being more focused on "virtue-signaling" than on actual game journalism, a sentiment that has resonated with gamers tired of the woke direction Kotaku has taken.

Mercante’s association with Sweet Baby Inc., another controversial group known for its influence over media narratives, only adds fuel to the fire. Now, in what seems like a moment of utter defeat, Mercante’s concession to her critics feels like a victory for those who value free speech and want transparency in gaming journalism.

This latest chapter in Mercante’s ongoing drama further solidifies her place as one of the most controversial figures in gaming journalism. Despite her attempts to label her critics as "chuds" or trolls, it's clear the community isn't backing down. With the likes of 8-Bit Eric and other prominent voices weighing in, Mercante’s downfall may just be a symptom of the larger issue at Kotaku and the woke agendas driving the site.
