About halfway through the audio is noticeably out of sync. Probably a half of a second by the end, maybe a bit more.

This game is years old, isn’t it? Oh, new version of it.

@thej6m: Because you’re wrong.

@plan6: Exactly, no apology. Just, “I didn’t mean to hurt anyone,” the statement a half step up from “I’m sorry you’re offended.”

Too bad she did say she didn’t feel she deserves to have this count against her, and that she and Vinny believe platforming a bigoted abuser isn’t objectionable.

Nah. It should really be on every video and podcast recording until they have the courage to address their fuckup in a real way. The way this community has been fostered directly into having the courage to be shitty to queer folks after a known abuser is on the site is genuinely disgraceful. I hope people keep commenting and demand more from a site, and people they like.

Trying to bury it makes it look even worse than it already does.

Anyone have a timestamp for the apology?

Giant Bomb needs to take the podcast or put something in audio about allegations in the episode. You are actively adding to her ability to to cover for her bullshit by only having something in writing here most people that listen to the podcast will have no idea that Merritt is a piece of shit. Next they go search for Merritt because she's been given the cover of the podcast and then they may be follow her on Twitter and that makes her cover even better.

Biphobic, bigoted against non-binary and ace people, grooming, and just an asshole. And the only thing said about it is a note under the podcast on the site alone.

@dallen33: Doing more than literally one search is necessary.

@chunkofunk: I mean, I dunno if she still does, but she had a queef joke pinned to her twitter for years.
