2000s "edginess" and gamer shows is a mix that's aged real poorly.

Insert the 90th joke about how Naruto wearing orange doesn't make isn't stealthy.

I just remembered now why I hated "X-Play" growing up. The hosts were just xenophobic assholes.

I know Adam Sessler's still the same as he was when X-Play was on the air, but I'm not sure if Morgan Webb's the same, or if she's matured throughout the years over such things.

I remember being SO put off even when i was young and actively yearning for more mainstream gaming content, only bc they automatically wrote off ANY game that had even a whiff of anime in it
The producers must’ve thought we preferred overt racism over, ya know, AN ACTUAL REVIEW i guess

The 2000s were a different time for sure.

wtf was up with western game industry racism back in the late 00s/early 10s?! I still remember the Zero Punctuation where he says Kingdom Hearts lacks "the usual JRPG pedophilia subtext" being the moment I realized as a teen that not all "criticism" is valid or good-faith.
