Democratic Pirate posted:Wait what were the racism, ableism, and PR agent calling it family DND game incidents? Because that seems like de glass shahk haters are out for blood. I'd guess racism is referring to the great debate on whether it was racist to have a Hispanic character named Taco or if it was racist to have a character named Taco who wasn't Hispanic.

It's a confusing thing to call out since it's far from unheard of!

i think the racism comment is referring to this https://twitter.com/JustinMcElroy/status/1376951574942134272 https://twitter.com/JustinMcElroy/status/1376951576301035523 https://twitter.com/headsortailors/status/1376955924871589900 it wasn't signal boosted that much so i assume it is mostly just held in the permanent record by people who have an axe to grind

They'll inevitably come for you over something spectacularly dumb and at that point either admitting guilt or not admitting guilt will both prove you're a megahitler. The whole thing with Lindsay Ellis is an impressively stupid recent example. maybe don't court those kinds of people

He's got like 4k patreons, so if even 50% of them are at the $5 tier that's still a good 15k a month with Patreon taking a 25% cut (presuming the other 50% are somewhat split between tiers) He's making out pretty dang good for sure, and good for him. The guy is insanely talented

Do people Brian’s age care about snl? I’m old enough (36) that a lot of my friends who did comedy/acting stuff when they were Brian’s age had “get on snl” as a goal but I feel like that show has been coasting for long enough that younger generations don’t give a poo poo about it I’m not basing this on anything it just feels like a smart thing to say so I’m going for it

I think a decent number of comedy people still shoot for SNL since it's one of the more public ways to make money being funny and unknown. e: Erin from Hey Riddle Riddle auditioned for SNL a few years ago and is only 2 years older than BDG.
