Why It Should Be Destroyed

 * 1) Pro-censorship to the point of desperation.
 * 2) They can't even take criticism at all. Such as being called out by Milo Yiannopoulos.
 * 3) Like Kotaku, they publish clickbait articles.
 * 4) They are anti-GamerGate.
 * 5) *Ironically, even the ex-owner has supported GamerGate, despite multiple journalists working for them are against it.
 * 6) Despite having a spin-off site Japanator, they are extremely Japanophobic. In other words, xenophobic.
 * 7) *They also bash Japanese games calling them "perverted garbage", hypocritically.
 * 8) Voter manipulation.
 * 9) They can be very disgusting at times saying that necrophiliac rape can be very arousing.
 * 10) In fact, they even also insult women ironically, despite being pro-feminism, calling the actresses in Super Seducer sluts with STDs.
 * 11) Jed Whitaker, one of the ex-journalists of the site, despite being extremely pro-online censorship, has a history of being extremely vulgar online.
 * 12) Jed Whitaker even went to create a failed petition to have all games from Japan cancelled, and every single one of them destroyed.
 * 13) Despite the site having a progressive stance, Jed Whittaker also even copyrighted a video where someone caught him saying the n-word.
 * 14) They have no problem breaking embargos.
 * 15) They are pro-SJW.
 * 16) Multiple conflicts of interest.
 * 17) They had to update their article after misreporting a DMCA case.
 * 18) Anthony Burch (one of the journalists) was involved with various controversies, such as claiming GamerGate supporters "did not actually care about corruption in gaming journalism".
 * 19) They have doxxed several members of The Fine Young Capitalists.
 * 20) While far from the most corrupt gaming website in the country, Destructoid is definitely not clean, especially when their (ex-)CEO Jonathan Holmes setting up a bad example. Holmes has covered many games and events that involve someone, who has financially supported the  Kickstarter campaign for his web-series Sup, Holmes? (without disclosure of course). Here are some examples:
 * 21) Axiom Verge created by Tom Harp.
 * 22) Til Morning Light created by Adam Tierney.
 * 23) # Fortune by Zach Gage.
 * 24) Boston Festival of Indie Games and its organizer Dan Silvers.
 * 25) Neverending Nightmares which is also a sponsor.
 * 26) The Fangamer company which is also a sponsor.
 * 27) I've Got to Run! and its creator 4 Corner Games.
 * 28) *When confronted with these acts of corruption, Holmes simply stated that the Kickstarter money didn’t go through him.
 * 29) Holmes also gave positive coverage to Zoë Quinn without giving disclosure.
 * 30) *He's also part of the Gamers Are Dead media blitz.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) Their video game reviews are pretty good.
