    The problem is that is goes into the “sphere”. Click on one video and it feeds into many others.

    I used to think it was a smaller section and then my streamer friends complain about “woke”. The thing that always gets me is when someone says: “I don’t mind a minority character as long as it makes sense for them to be there”. Oh right, minorities should explain our existence shall we? I would like to think that they mean when social commentary feels shoehorned or there’s corporate pandering (which I think we can have discussions about) … however, we don’t need to suffer from woke-paranoia just because someone doesn’t fit the mould. I remember the Star Trek Beyond “controversy” and when the scene happened I didn’t even register it because it was so forgettable to me.

    I’ve been in arguments with friends about how “how many genders we have …” and I have to be like, there’s so few actual trans people and trans issues that are “in your face” to get as worked up as you guys are …

    Sorry I went on a deeper rant than I should have.
