Fashion is fucking expression. It doesn't have age limits, it doesn't have boundaries beyond like, public decency laws. Wear whatever the fuck you want. Do whatever you want with your hair. And fuck right off if you want to gatekeep or criticize someone else's choices. This is like giving someone shit because they have a different favorite color than you.

@@sparkusclark6176 It's specifically because they close the show out with a "final" yahoo answers question that they "will revisit next week with answers" but they never do.

[@MB-xw1tu]

@@raritythefabulous This is an excellent explanation. I've been listening since the old episodes they tell people to skip now, and only because of reading this did I remember that they used to mention the part about revisiting next week.

Replying to a year old comment here but when he was with polygon he did a video about VR LA Noire with Russ (?

@@mozarteanchaos please don't stupidly defend them as if they can do no wrong. they're human beings, they make mistakes. this auto captioning is significantly worse than even youtube's. i love the mcelroys but they aren't perfect gods, they're just great people. and as people, they have flaws and make mistakes. you shouldn't take every bit of criticism of them personally, that's just very unhealthy. i love these boys and i acknowledge they make mistakes, and i love them because they do care and make an active attempt to get better. they don't want putting them on a pedestal acting like the can do no wrong, that's for damn sure. so if someone complains about accessibility, that is an extremely important issue that needs to be addressed and not dismissed. disabled people are constantly dismissed as it is. stop being a part of that problem. and even though the mcelroys are extremely important to all of us, stop having an unhealthy hero worship mindset towards them. i can't even imagine how uncomfortable that makes them that they have so many "fans" like that.
