the idea of the woke hivemind dictating GB content is not something I would've guessed in a million years

I wouldn't have guessed it, yet am still not surprised. I wonder if Abby pushed for it or if everyone weighed in-- not that it really matters how it came to be, tbh.

GB is just typically so unpolitical, so it's a weird feeling I'm not used to. I mean in the current climate they've started talking a bit more about it, which seems understandable tho I'm Canadian and don't pay much attn to politics in my own country let alone America so

:shrug:

fuckin lol tho. The feature seemed absolutely harmless. I haven't watched either ep yet

It's not even about politics, it was a completely harmless video series like the spooky game stuff they did last year. And GB as a site was born from saying "nah gently caress you" and going solo whether that worked out or not and was super refreshing to see at the time. Maybe it was entirely internal but I seriously doubt the internet didn't play a significant role in the decision

It was probably pressure from these commenters because there's hundreds of comments bitching about it, and I haven't seen that much vitriol since dan had the audacity to have fun playing a mario party game.

Oh I think it's 100% a reaction to the hosed up response they were getting from a bunch of people online. I just mean I wonder how many duders agreed w/ the commenters like I imagine Abby may have lmao

Fair. She seems like a nice person I just found what little I watched of her on Waypoint obnoxious.

Ton of sympathy for her and her fam tho

I seem to remember Jeff refusing to cover some recent game at all because they didn’t want any political backlash but I can’t remember what. Anyways, I can believe it

Every site on the entire internet is a nonstop orgy of vitriol, hate, anger, resentment, contempt, snark and hopelessness at this point so I don’t know why they don’t just ignore it and keep doing whatever.

Yeah actually, they dropped a Hat in Time ql for reasons I still don't understand. It was on the upcoming schedule and everything so I assume it was recorded. No mention of it at all after that point
