I’ll keep it short and sweet! I’m Reikan and I love anime, video games, Japanese culture, economics, politics, and much more. I love giving analysis and commentary on all of these things! Many of you who are seeing this may have been following me for at least a year...or 4. I am trans and staunchly…

    In these trying times, we find ourselves in the face of a crisis in our fandom. How do we approach MeToo? How do we find balance between truth, justice, community, and more if balance is what we need at all? In this podcast, I challenge you to rethink how you approach these discussions and challenge principles that you may be misusing and misunderstanding. Is neutrality something to achieve? Perhaps not. Feel free to take time to ponder on this and let me know what you think.

    How to Address the Labor Violations in the Gaming Industry

    For those unaware, Rockstar (game studio who brought you GTA, LA Noire and Red Dead Redemption) has had a history of “alleged” labor violations and is well known as well to exploit workers—quite a video game industry standard known as “crunch time” where anybody necessary in the studio “volunteers” for unpaid overtime in insane working conditions (100+ hours/week). In this video, I lay out what we can do about it and how to move forward as both consumers and workers alike. ——————— Sources used: 1) https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2018-10-15-rockstar-has-been-working-100-hour-weeks-on-red-dead-redemption-2 2) https://www.theverge.com/2018/10/15/17979606/rockstar-red-dead-redemption-2-crunch-100-hour-work-week 3) https://www.glassdoor.com/Overview/Working-at-Rockstar-Games-EI_IE20887.11,25.htm 4) https://mobile.twitter.com/rockstargames/status/788363842329903104?lang=en 5) https://www.jacobinmag.com/2013/11/video-game-industry/ If you like what you see, please support me on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/overlycriticalotakus
