#you absolute nincompoops ruined my enjoyment of it hope you're happy

Now that TAZ Graduation is over, I wish the Reddit armchair psychologists who assign a nonexistent moral component to the media they consume a very much go outside.

To them, a podcast can't just be mediocre, it has to be "problematic". Travis is abusing his brothers and colleagues by being a "bad" DM!! The grown ass men who have worked together for over 10 years are clearly having a bad time on a product they co-create, and not because you maniacs are harassing them constantly and insisting that purple hair man is mean to you, you specifically.

No, it must be because the guy once mentioned dealing with NPD, and as you ghouls "know", that means he's a bad person because that's what the movies say, right? Fucking buffoons and your excuses. "Oh it's hard to find LGBT positive media" TRY HARDER. I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE AN ISSUE. "It's not fun radio" OKAY, DON'T LISTEN. "He's not taking criticism" OKAY, DON'T LISTEN.

Fuckin' a. Catch me going up to a content creator and barraging them with messages screaming about how their style of writing doesn't cater to me specifically, because I've formed a parasocial dependency and one-sided entitlement to their products.

The worst thing is that these keyboard warriors will absolutely descend like locusts on people who aren't straight white men with ten times the vitriol, especially if you're a trans woman, because they're salivating at the chance to engage in power trips and witch hunts against people who can't fight back because every counterargument has already been used in bad faith. Nothing is gained.

Fuck all of you and I hope you don't come back for next season
