Christ, it's disappointing to see non-ironic talk of 'SJWs' and Anita Sarkeesian being a scam artist on here :/ Without fail I lose respect for anyone who uses the former, while the latter is handily disproven by this point. Agree 100% with Karl and Taf's sentiments, I've had issues with her videos but she's undoubtedly been a positive force in the discourse of games, as horrifying as it was to see the community's toxic underbelly in full force.
And yeah, I do feel for TotalBiscuit...though it does arise complicated feelings of being a former fan as opposed to a current one. I liked his affable and even sometimes self deprecating demeanour in videos, it helped me forgive his more pompous moments. His pro consumer stance and contribution to critical discourse on PC games also must be commended...but the GG stuff was hugely disappointing, recent tweets show that he's held onto that stance too. It's disgusting when such big figures use their platforms to spread this kind of harmful rhetroic, felt the same with Boogie and his both sides bullshit.
Still, cancer continues to be a horrible horrible thing,
the last tweet from his wife got me choked up. I wish him the best while also hoping he takes time to reflect on some of the unfortunate things he's put forward.
