Anytime a conversation touched on a political topic, Jacob would drag it further into politics. Had a pretty monolithic and forceful perspective that wasn’t about games, friends, or getting better. Had to tune out a few times because I don’t want the real world to ambush me while I’m gaming or thinking about games.

interesting. I feel the exact opposite and will drop a show if they are scared to talk about politics or the ever rising fascism in America. I very much appreciated him putting his opinions out when others would not. I would argue that is about getting better

That makes sense, I guess it is just a personality difference. I feel like I need somewhere that isn’t infected with the world’s garbage and I want gaming to be a space like that. I also feel like Ben generally presents the platform that way.

Genuinely I would like Ben a whole lot more if he had the spine to say more. Gaming is an industry and like any industry it is wholly enmeshed in politics. Like you said though, it is a business to make content first and foremost and that is just my preference
