I should say that I don't really blame the blogger for being self-pitying. He's going through something that is also just part of being human, and if anyone is at fault for what a fool he looks like, it's Kotaku for publishing this twaddle. It's as if they're giving an audience to a child's complaints about puberty, except that it might actually be more interesting if a child of ten or eleven could write well enough and use an adult vocabulary to explain why they're upset about feeling hormonal and turning into a mini-man or mini-woman instead of a cute little boy or girl.
