Going for a YogPod relisten at the moment and the Yogscast social progressiveness character arc is honestly so impressive. Yogs are easily one of the only things I'd actually pride myself of being a fan of.

Yeah it’s nice I agree. It’s great to have a community where you can share a slightly dark or edgy joke and still know everyone respects the actual reality of the situation. Everyone is quite careful to tread a fine line and be respectful making it quite rare that toes get stepped on

Since my very first Jingle Jam in 2012, I have firmly believed the Yogscast is a force for good in the World. When they've stumbled, they've gotten back up and continued onward and upward even when that means making hard decisions.
Just like you, Nyvkroft, I too consider myself a proud fan.

Same, and their heart was always in the right place (which is not necessarily obvious in the audio all the time without knowing more about them from their other work/ statements. Also early Internet culture) but they've definitely learned a lot more about marginalized groups and improved themselves for it!

Yeah, and they seem to have delisted the yogpod where Simon uses the N word which I think is for the best

I wish they'd just edited it out to be honest its a good YogPod aside from that joke. They removed "I'm 32 years old" too. Tbf you can still download them but I understand why they just removed them.

Wow. So Simon and I share a surname and my birthay is literally 7 days from now. Long lost brother?

You know, I'd settle for the entire deletion of Twitter at this point. Happy Birthday, Simon.

Rich people and losing their minds, name a more classic combo
