Like damn, it was only 10 years ago and they’re doing racist accents for like every type of asian you can think of.

      it sometimes treats relationships between gay men as a funny haha joke rather than anything resembling a typical relationship

      honestly I don’t know what was pointed out specifically, but a gay member of the staff (the only gay staff member) apparently brought up some complaints regarding the writing/representation and he was resoundingly ignored, and then outed to the family. No one quite knows what happened, but the gay developer guy attempted suicide, so it seems like it was something serious

      also it’s not clear how much the game grumps themselves were involved or if it was mainly the studio staff. Who knows. There’s not a lot of open information about it
