Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

I am looking to chat with people who have been disparagingly featured in Zack “Asmongold” Hoyt’s content. I would like to see how this affected you, especially if you can provide ample receipts and clear timelines. Please signal boost this anywhere you’d like, as I’m not on Twitter anymore.
Friends at Anima Interactive are still getting harassed left and right by gamergate losers. If you haven't pledged yet, now is a great time to show some solidarity for this kind of storytelling in games. Even $1 helps!!
I just backed Take Us North on because it's a great project—but also because the team is currently being harassed by a Gamergate mob who are donating $1 en masse to fill the comments with their toxic garbage, which I want to counteract. Feel free to do the same. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tak...
