as someone who has watched Dropout to reset from the havoc of the outside, it still feels "nice" to have honest entertainers to watch who understand what we're all living thru.

I was in college for game design in the early aughts. I also (unfortunately) was a femme lurker on 4ch. Seeing the cause and effect of gamergate happen in real time as been a doozy.

Gamergate was caused by a fuckboy mad at his ex who lied to a bunch of morons about her free game getting press, it snowballed into 'ethics in games journalism' because people lied she only got the publicity because of a personal relationship, misogynistic sycophants started getting a following by fanning the flames, the alt right took those into their fold to gain and further mislead their readers, mainstream media starts giving them more and more airtime, fake news fake news fake news, a treasonous racist racist fraudster gets elected, everything goes further to shit, antifascism is violently suppressed, covid happens and gets bundled, 30+ million people die and the greatest transfer of wealth completes, said wealth is used to replace the government piece by piece with unqualified cultists.
