Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

The Jimquisition AKA James Stephanie Sterling is the only games journalist I trust because they talk about workers rights and how game companies abuse their customers.
Thank god for them.
I don't really follow that many games as a whole so that is the extent of my interest.
Yeah she is consistently a sane voice in an ocean of grifters and corporate liberals.
They are first a games journalist and a critic of capitalism second. Their utility to the communism pipeline is still good.
In the liberal alternate reality where China is as fascist as India, but with a competent omniscient survielence state, a person wanting to talk about wanting to be freed from their tyranical government presenting at a Blizzard corporate event would still be banned. This is to do with criticizing Blizzard for being amoral and willing to make concessions to whatever governments they want to sell their products in.
If she gave full throated support for China, her function in the communist pipeline would be less functional.
If you don't want to watch her, good. Enjoy doing other things than watching videos.
Just to help with the pronoun confusion, she goes by "she" or "they" according to her twitter, but has stated that she prefers "she".
That's fair, though I feel they've moved left since then. They talk far more openly about capitalism and more openly.
