Description:

Will these gamer girls EVER go home? We knew we needed backup for this episode, so we had on the most enthusiastic gamer boy we know: Ben Moosher, of Without Warning Radio fame.

  • To get our footing, we reminisce about Gamergate and Anita Sarkeesian’s feminist critiques, and the resulting death threats and episode of Law and Order: SVU.
  • We discuss eSports’ “altar boy and sleaze bag,” Ninja and Faze Banks, as well as the funnier details to come out of gaming’s latest million-dollar lawsuits.
  • Parasocial relationships are a big part of the streaming community: are “twitch thots” exploiting their audiences of lonely men? Or are the donors who send them thousands of dollars simply delusional?
  • We’ll also touch on mass shooter Anders Breivik, murderer Devin Moore, and the Columbine massacre as we unpack the argument around videogames and real-life violence.
