Thanks a lot folks. Content warning for mega-racism. Apologies for the rantyboy, he was too grating to not feature
New video next week, more than likely a look at a roaming millennial video or two. See you then!

2017-11-30 09:09:33 +0000 UTCDoes it say if he was a number runner (as he was portrayed in the biographical film) or talk about numbers games?
2017-11-26 20:06:58 +0000 UTCGreat video all around. Funny and educational, as ever. True story: I heard of Cuphead all of two hours before I saw you put out this video (and it wasn't because anyone called it racist - it was a promotion on Steam.)
2017-11-26 12:30:36 +0000 UTCi think that racist caricature of african-americans playing dice all the time comes from the fact that gambling was relatively popular among poor black communities in the 20s. Malcom X talks about it a lot in his autobiography.
2017-11-25 11:46:23 +0000 UTCThis was a really rad video Shaun!! I feel like it would be better if you spoke more about the ableism of the game, but I think you covered a lot of things here !!

2017-11-25 09:04:13 +0000 UTCIndeed, nowadays, there's a tendency to pretend there isn't a context: either the gamergaters do it, the artists did it in order to pretend there was nothing worth arguing about and even our own side does it - which is rather disturbing. Also, where do you find those ridiculous youtubers? You go through such pains :D.

2017-11-25 04:45:12 +0000 UTCAOS uses the strawman fallacy very liberally and has done so for years. I don't really like it.
2017-11-25 03:45:36 +0000 UTCAnother outstanding video, thanks Shaun.

2017-11-25 00:09:00 +0000 UTCLoved the point about Gamers' liberal critique of capitalism and the closing remarks about their commodity fetishism--more of that zesty 'cultural marxism' please! ;)
2017-11-24 23:09:42 +0000 UTCFantastic video! Im quite happy that none of this “controversy” made its way onto my feed! Also - perfect pronunciation of “Feischer” 👍

2017-11-24 22:20:35 +0000 UTCI didn't realize that this "controversy" was *this* ridiculous.
2017-11-24 22:08:24 +0000 UTCHa, Roaming Millenial. So this is going to be a slaughter.
