Oh here we go again.
"GDQ is obviously so sterile and forced, you can tell"
Meanwhile when I dropped in at GDQ there were no rules, no visible enforcement except for the guy checking badges at the door.
My briefing for my commentary slot was how to signal for audio to mute my mic. I had free, full control over what I said outside of what's in the same CoC everyone can freely read.
The "A shadow cabal is controlling everyone at GDQ" theory is horse-shit.
That's not GDQ being controlling, that's people having manners.
