podcasts, mild ranting
Unsubscribed from Panning the Stream recently because of rumors of them covering Evangelion. After just doing a month of shows to cover a season of some other anime.
When your podcast goes from "watching interesting things on streaming services" to covering anime for a literal month all the time, I have to tap out.
I mean, if I want interesting podcasts about animated shows, What a Cartoon is right there. They only cover *one* episode, and that's enough.

gdq, transphobia, -
Cool gdq invited back a huge transphobe who stalks& harasses trans men for fun & we absolutely told them about but its fine bc she changed her handle and does free art for them!!!
Gross
Last year they invited a fucking nazi and everyone shouted it down but im pretty sure that the few transmasc voices are going to go unheard again.
fun fact: haven't played Pokemon since Crystal so I had to look up what Lucario's number was on the pokedex so I could anticipate the number
Protip for any future runners at a GDQ: Doing ironic memes and being self-deprecating isn't really entertaining to watch.
Kinda ruined the Split/Second speedrun for me. #sgdq
hours later, as it's nighttime, this is still an urge I have.
I guess I'm constantly stuck in touch-starved mode lately :/
proposed term (violent reactionary mentions)
You know how we have TERF and SWERF to refer to reactionary bigots in feminism? I think we should have something for reactionary bigots in gaming.
I suggest Kyriarchy-Advocating Gamers, or KAGs.
"Ignore the KAGs - the new Lego DLC in Forza Horizon 4 is a lot of fun."
"Honestly, any company with a pander-to-KAGs marketing strategy in 2019 deserves to go under."
"A big part of the reason why KAGs became the way they are is historical: they came of age during an era when videogames were being marketed as a tool for boys to prop up their masculinity and never learned to question it."
