I don't like hearing about the giantbombs thoughts on politics. I'm from Australia and just despise hearing about it. So much of American politics is just so awful.
But its their show and site. I don't begrudge their thoughts. And I like the cast talking honestly about anything and everything.
Was audio off? Whenever people were speaking there was lots of background noise?
it's been gone over before, their mic audio is gated and cuts off unless they're speaking, and they have an excessively loud AC that goes off so you only hear it when they speak.
unfortunatley they seem to have been able to do all they can about it.
I was pretty pro gamergate when the shit first hit the fan and am still incensed that the whole discussion point has become toxic and basically untouchable by anyone and those that do touch it, it basically narrows down any criticism or critique they have to that lens.
The Baldur's Gate thing is super shitty. It's one character, get over it. There is no charitable view to look at, your being shitty to a dev for blatant political reasons. My one criticism about that is to maybe explore it more. In a world where sex-change magical items exist I wonder how that affects society and how they view trans people.
About Rapp, the harassment is shit but her views are beyond disgusting. Though I speak from a place where I dislike Leon:The Professional and don't watch Woody Allen movies so maybe I'm too sensitivity.
Though it sickens me that I fear getting banned for stating that I don't like Rapp's views and I think that is the biggest problem in gaming discussion on the net right now.
