I think they were refering to the video with pundit

Ahhh. Yeah! 'Kay. I've seen that one.

I was hoping to add some more podcasters to my list of "If someone listens to this to a significant degree you should probably avoid them"

Number one on that list is, of course, the Joe Rogan Experience.

No, because I was doing what the board rules encourage and discussing the game and the claims that have been made about it, not the personal life and issues of anyone involved in the game - it seems like that would turn rapidly into a personal attack.

You're already ascribing desperation to them - so you've already made claims about them, personally.

I'm suggesting that, given even the vague information we have, it might be reasonable to cut the guy some slack. You want to not do that, to avoid attacking him? That does not really follow.

I mean, at the time of the podcast I don't think he had any reason to know about either event? Wasn't the podcast before the Native American comment? And it would appear almost nobody was aware of the grits wrestling video being the same LeNasa at the time of that podcast?

RPG Pundit and his crew are known quantities at this point, and Jim chose to appear on their podcast.

I'm never surprised by how much variability there is in what is known or not known from generation to generation in terms of social media and the like. (Or in how it's not innate in everyone to just google people before participating).

I don't recall RPG Pundit ever interviewing anyone on a podcast. And RPG Pundit has no "crew" as far as I know (he lives in Uruguay). Do you have a link to that?

[Edit - Found it. I assume you mean this: Inappropriate Characters. That's a video livestream. I...wouldn't call it "RPGPundit's" livestream, or "his" crew. It's a livestream show featuring people in the RPG industry who many consider to be inappropriate and controversial. They don't even agree with each other I think most of the time? Sort of like a weird Internet version of The View or Bill Marr's Politically Incorrect TV show I guess? I dunno I have not watched it enough to have a good educated opinion. Seems harsh to judge an interviewee with the sins of one of the interviewers?]

I should not, in the year 2021, have to explain why patronizing RPG Pundit is unacceptable.

To be fair, it's always possible that a person hasn't heard of him. I only heard of him a few months ago. I quickly realized upon learning of his existence why he's a person to avoid. I've been gaming a long time but am fairly oblivious. Imagine someone new to gaming.

Or new to much of social media.

Or new to much of social media.

And even if you're not new to either gaming or social media, there are so many nooks and crannies you may have been involved with that didn't intersect with RPGPundit or nisarg or whatever else he has used as an online ID.

Why do many consider them to be inappropriate and controversial, in your opinion? Do you consider them to be inappropriate and controversial? Would you go on a show with them?
