😲 "The departures and firings essentially cleaned out the entirety of The Escapist's video department, including most significantly at all, the departure of *Yahtzee Croshaw, the voice of Zero Punctuation*, one of the oldest and most famous game criticism video series, and one I grew up watching long before I started doing this for a living. Croshaw resigned, but *he does not own the rights to Zero Punctuation itself*, so whatever he does next, it will be without that branding."

Yahtzee and friends = Second Wind

Yeah the whole thing happened so fast that I could hardly keep up with the news
Yeah, but what the @%&# does that have to do with SJW, like Vox Day claims in his first sentence of his blog?
Like, financial interests, yeah, sure, capitalists trying to extract every last penny from a company, with ill effect. But SJW? WTF
It's where I heard the news, and this particular biz fail is one of dozens happening the last few months with possible connections re. underlying cause: when easy money dries up and new ownership destroys a profitable venture (often by seeking/pandering to new small customer boost but at the expense of existing majority base).

I dunno man, any website that puts up an article titled "Immigration of Color = Bankruptcy" is already clearly signalling it's white-supremacist editorial views. What an absolutely @%&#ty thing to publish. I'm disappointed that anyone would give such a site their time and attention.
Oh gross. I knew it was a dodgy site but I didn't realize it was actually evil
I heard the news about the Escapist from one of the show editors who has been a guest on Red Letter Media via Twitter (Jack Packard)

Putting aside your apparent offended feelings in the face of inflammatory words and/or implication of same, did you even notice the simple numerical chart those words were describing (https://voxday.net/2023/10/01/immigration-of-color-bankruptcy/)? Let alone click the single link to see the factual basis behind the shocking claim (the USA 2014 federal budget (https://archive.is/vIXF8), which VD -- a published author of multiple economics books (https://www.amazon.ca/Return-Great-Depression-Vox-Day/dp/1935071181) -- was analyzing in his 2017 blog post).
Just curious, do you limit your sources of political opinion to those who never use shocking linguistic choices in their headlines? Do you choose those who would rather ignore shocking objective truths because reporting on them might get the reporter labelled racist or worse? For many decades people of color such as Thomas Sowell have been openly calling out this unsustainable growth of the welfare state and its detailed underpinnings; perhaps seeking out clips of him on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Thomas+Sowell+black+welfare) might be a less bitter pill to swallow. One video title is "How the Welfare state ruined black families".

Oh no, Jack!?
I hope the wallet hit doesn't drive him back to the bottle. :-(
Yeah I'm going to say that if you have to use racism to sell your article MAYBE it's not worth reading in the first place
Honestly you shouldn't give sources like this your time.
