I remember asking someone some years ago “what does a conservative or libertarian gaming coverage lens look like?”. I never got an answer. If that energy looks like what we’ve seen today then folks in that camp can’t complain when the most vocal example of that in their gaming

Spawn On Me is in its 6th year. We continue to be the premier podcast spotlighting people of color in the video game industry. If you believe in our work, please share it far and wide through your circles. We’re a 1 person ship trying to do big things. Help us get there!
Support streamers and creators that are trying to make the world better through charity, smart/funny conversations like our show. Don't support folks like this.
A couple of things to share to be fair and transparent.
@twitch
offered to share our rebroadcast on front page and immediately offered to have staff help moderate our stream. We had 3 staff folks moderating an almost 13K viewer stream for almost 4 hours.
watching
@SpawnOnMe
rebroadcast and since its on the front page of
@Twitch
the chat room is a racist toxic cesspool, like its Fn sad its so racist and you wonder why people of color shy away from public online spaces
This shit is played out and anyone worth their salt can see it. The industry has moved on, large swathes are much more savvy and the future is brighter because everyone else understands that these purity tests are fake and serve no one. Let’s give more space to ppl that matter.
HOLY CRAP!!! MASSIVE LOVE TO OUR FRIENDS OVER at
@NVIDIAGeForce
#RTXON
I can’t believe they sent our the whole crew 2080’s!!! Now I need a new mobo to make my rig extra sexy!
Keep grinding and the hard work will pay off y’all! ✊🏾❤️
space is often loud, wrong, enables bad actors while professing to be neutral while also complaining about being dismissed while using that self imposed ethering to play victim to an audience of brash myopic tattle-tales who can’t hold their own hero’s feet to the fire.
Let’s continue to be great in the face of fence sitters who offer nothing for the future of this industry but boring, flaccid declarations that are akin to their bargain basement brick breaking homages that wouldn’t make the bottom of a MAME clone list.
ALSO HUGE THANK YOU TO THE AMAZING
@Twitch
staff & Brookago residents who came through and modded the chat tonight.
FOLKS WERE MAD AT OUR BEAUTIFUL BLACKNESS BUT WE DODGED THAT JOINT LIKE
