Destructoid Has Finally Completely Sold Out
Coonskin05 | 10:52 PM on 05.15.2008 30 comments




...To the color (or lack thereof) black. Have you seen the front page? The background is completely black. I wonder how much money the absence of light threw at DToid to get this set up. Seriously Niero, I thought you had more respect than this. Even the font is in black! It really doesn't get much more opinionated than this, and I really don't know if I can trust DToid anymore.

I remember back when this site was cool and indie; now it just seems like they're selling out to any color that walks by and offers them cash.

Fuck you Dtoid. You used to be cool.

You guys are being ignorant. If Destructoid wants to remain independent, then it needs to forge a good relationship with the basic shades. I'm sure white will have its turn as will all the other colors. I mean, what if Destructoid pissed off black? We'd be fucked, that's what would happen.

Look, you tell me how a site is supposed to rite without support of the absence of color?

And really, is black all that bad?! Just because this is a site that about all color all the time doesn't mean it can't be sponsored by the absence of color.

Grow up guys. The world works on the full spectrum of color and non-color, despite your idealistic, presence of all color notions.

I remember my 8th grade art teacher chastising me for using a black colored pencil when I was coloring in a piano that I had drawn.

“Black isn’t a color,” said the elitist bitch. “Black is the absence of color.”

And while I now understand that she’s technically right, back then, I wanted my piano to be black, goddammit, because that’s the standard color for grand pianos.

You know Samit, on the RGP scale black™ is the absence of Color, but on the CMYK scale white is the absence of color.

But back on this little 'situation' that I have to handle.

Destructoid is saving you money by having the front page black™. Let's not think of this as 'selling out' to black™, think of it as 'cashing in' for black™ and passing on the savings to YOU, the consumer™. As a self appointed spokesperson to black™, I assure you that there, is in no way, going to be a hostile takeover of the color spectru- Uhhh, Niero, we need to talk, there's some green surrounding the comment box, this is breach of contract.

dtoid being black is for the sake of the environment... White/color uses to mutch electricity with your monitor...

( they actually calculated once that if google were to have a black background, it would save enough electricity to power a mid-sized american town :-D )

I think we should go plaid.

or maybe on of the less used colors like mauve or burnt sienna maybe even teal.

That art teacher was insane. Although black on a monitor or screen is the absence of color, in printed inks, it's actually ALL colors combined together, because inks are imperfect. Every ink color, just like Dtoid's mom, has a little black in them.

Also, Coonskin should be applauded for doing such a good job of investigative journalism.

Promoted to front page, this should be.
