This is so good, the closer giantbomb gets to this kind of authored content the better, not that casual crew isn't great, but with the loss of everyone in the same room, this is an amazing way to go
I guess the one bit of push back against Abby's arguements via God of War is that it seems picking and choosing which are regressive tropes and which arn't...
Lets be honest, all the stories have been told, at this point almost everything is a trope... It seems like the real discussion that is happening is about which are tropes we support or not or which are cool or not... It's this mix of taste and partisanship that often creates the frustration I think... Ultimately it seems grounded in... These things don't look good for what I support so I don't like them.
But, I would also like to say Abby seems super self aware about it which is great and good on vinny for not just getting scared and debating the game on its merits.
