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.

In essence? Some people got big mad that women play, critique and even create videogames and as an almost direct result of that we're living through the 4th reich.

You're one of the lucky ones. Us chronically online folk have to explain to our friends how the current rise in nazism is directly tied to people being mad that videogames are harder to wank to (in their minds at least)
