A fantastic article what A fascinating piece of history and the tragedy of blaming video games when the root of issues is often deeper.
However key point to point out here And something I hope you can correct. When you note:
‘semblance of a normal life if a few of the factors arrayed against him were removed.
If he wasn’t autistic’
Just really important that autism isn’t a factor to be removed to live a normal life. Better support and understanding of his autism is a better phrase - like you note with homosexuality further down the list the stigmatism Is the issue, not the fact he is gay. Same with Autism.
I think I get it now, I always love reading these comments as the anger is so interesting, obviously its just a video game, it doesn't matter about deleting soldiers or silly mistakes. Then however you realise it does, because we are invested in the story, in the characters, in having a fun time. When Dan ruins that with just carelessly clicking through menus it completely ruins that story that we are engaging with. Its not the heel persona or the abomination stuff, that's ok as it tells a story, but this is, it's like deleting a page of script because you are too lazy to read. What's the point of the story I'm following if you can't be bothered to just take a little bit of care. I know it's not on puspose and it's a video game so who cares, like any entertainment format really, but bad storytelling sucks and lack of care sucks even more. So I shall do the thing I think shows like this have needed for a while especially as Giantbomb has left alot of the journalistic elements behind and don't get me wrong I love that and this series, but more feedback is needed so....
** - needs better care and attention to details if they want to tell a story effectively.
On the flip, it's not too serious but hope the feedback is heard. It's funny, the crew have said a few times they don't listen to the Internet and rightly so however you can't grow as a performer, (which they all are) without positive and constructive feedback. Anyway this throughly expanded on my thoughts on Internet video game personalities!
I just.....I just......perfect. I want to believe, I want this to be the start of an Endurance Run, no reason it can't be! They fitted together perfectly, even a continent apart. Let my dream happen.
