Apparently the former owner or manager or something of the escapist was a big gamergate guy, but now he doesn’t work there and the current staff disavow him pretty frequently. Yahtzee seems pretty on board with trans rights and stuff but clearly doesn’t want to talk about. Whenever he brings up politics in his reviews though it’s always shitting on right wingers
Started out as a lib, but was at the very least entirely opposed to the invasion of Iraq for mostly-coherent reasons (aka reasons you formulate before you feel confident in saying the word Imperialism). Honestly, I think he’s at a good spot for a media critic–makes sure to mention that he is just a media guy and not an expert in political theory. Also he didn’t fall for the weird loop that a lot of gamergate adherents fall for, where they develop a strong anti-corporate mindset but manage to keep hating LGBT because they conflate corpo pandering with some kind of gay conspiracy.
