    This show was extremely xenophobic. As it was considered “humor” back in the 2000s, they could get away with saying the most unhinged shit. I also remember how professional gaming media was rampant with casual queerphobia, blatant sexism, and shameless objectification of women.

    Looking back, it’s no wonder gamers were an ideal target for reactionary radicalization with things like GamerGate. By the early 2010s, when this sort of “humor” started getting more pushback, chuds were whining about “political correctness” and “SJWs”.
