This online magazine site should ask for a refund for the money they paid this writer.

Postby Netherrealmer » 19 Feb 2021, 21:25

Embarrassing writer got her article cringy article published on a big magazine site. This company rejected an article of mine but accepted this one.
Image


Jezebel is mainstream pop culture site that gets more views than the magazine site where I work but it seemed like Jezebel
allowed a writer with no credibility work for them. This is a high traffic website.

So there was this writer who complained about the erasure of Chun-li in the Mortal Kombat movie trailer. :lol:
Image

Yes, Chun-li is an iconic videogame character, she is the first lady of fighting games. One of the first playable female characters in fighting games and a 90s sex symbol.....but Chun-li is not A MORTAL KOMBAT CHARACTER!

She is a Street Fighter character. Mortal Kombat and Street fighter are not related.

The writer talks about how discriminatory Warner Brothers are for deleting Chun-li in the movie. :lol: Chun-li is not a Mortal Kombat character. I don't think Capcom will allow Chun-li to be in an IP where people kills each other. Warner Brothers will not be inclusive on a character they don't own the copyright.

This Jezebel site rejected an article of mine three times and they accepted this person who doesn't know what she is talking about. This writer got paid hundreds or maybe even thousands of dollars for this.


She talks about how Mortal Kombat discriminated an iconic female character. Mortal Kombat have their own Iconic female characters like Sonya, Kitana, Mileena and Cassie.

This is like complaining that Spiderman is not in a Justice League movie.

Mortal Kombat Belongs to Warner Bros and DC comics.

Street Fighter belongs to Capcom.

She is paid a lot of money for it. You should not be working as a Pop Culture journalist if you know nothing about what you write about. She didn't bother making research.

The writer accused the Movie of being racist and sexist for excluding a character who is not from the franchise. Who pays her money?

Yeah i mean Chun li is not even in Mortal Kombat. But I think they need a reboot of Street fighter and get one of those cosplay girls to play her! some of them look like her come to life. Chun li has always been my favorite

don't
lol this is true she must be on drugs. Cause no way Chun Li is gonna be in an offical mortal kombat film. in a fan made crossover fantasty thing yes maybe. But in an official release. Also why didn't she talk about how Johnny Cage is missing?

They call them racist for not including Chun-li when 90 percent of the cast are Asians. :lol: Sonya and Kano are the only white people

I don't know why I find it funny. This is the reason credibility is important. If you know nothing about what you wish to write about, a little research helps.

These are the complexities of journalism. We have had some news channels which became very popular but later some of their methods were found to be objectionable.
In this case, perhaps the Magazine editor had some bias in favor of this writer.

I understand you and I think you are right, this kind of mistakes shouldn't be written in a very popular magazine, it seems they don't have an analyst to review what his sent for them to publish.
What was your article about?

She accused producers of the Mortal Kombat film of being racist and sexist for excluding Chun-li. Chun-li is not a Mortal Kombat character. So they have they basically didn't fact check this article before publishing.

Seems like the magazine did not do their homework well, they should have vetted her before they took up the story. this is what happens when things are done in a shallow manner. I completely agree they should have their money reverted back to them.

Apparently she mistakes Kitana to Chun-li because both are Asian women that wears blue. Kitana wears a mask and wears a scantily clad Ninja outfit. CHun-li wears a high cut Chinese dress.

The editor (or whomever) rejected your articles doesn't know anything about anything either. Then look at the update about how "Jezebel has discovered the answer..." Ughh, when? Pshhh! I'd be grateful I got rejected. You can do better. You would be surprised to know that standards everywhere has gone down. So where you'd expect Jezebel to be versed on something like this, don't count on it. I have seen enough to know not to take them seriously.

...and that's a disgrace too. You have no business writing about it then if you're going to make a mistake like that - because they are both Asian women. Do your homework man! You remember when the Anchor had 'mistaken' Samuel Jackson for Laurence Fishburne? They don't even look alike so why would you make that mistake, hmm ['ignance']? 😂. Don't talk man, just don't talk! "You are the entertainment reporter for this station and you don't know the difference between me and Laurence Fishburne?" #burn

I use to confuse Chris Tucker and Kevin Hart because both are black comedians with the same voice. When I was a kid I thought Marilyn Monroe and Dolly Parton are the same person.

I was a kid when those celebs confused me.
