And so it's left a lane, frankly, for me to come in and be the guy who tries to make people realize it can be fun to know the truth, but it's a lot easier and a lot more financially incentivized to just say, can we just have fun as if there's a choice, as if there's a dichotomy between fun and truth.
Yeah, I mean, look, we exist in the real world.
Like the whole notion of a toy department is that it is like off to the side and it is cloistered and not having to deal with the real world issues.
And then, by the way, you get into these stories that break through that everybody has to talk about and a lot of people are all of a sudden out of their depth.
Because the thing they were pretending, which is that we don't exist in the real world, they have to engage with.
And when that happens, a lot of people who just say, I just want to talk about games, bro, they show their ass.
And it's okay, by the way, if you want to be a person who doesn't do journalism.

It is totally understandable.
Maybe you just want to be a movie critic.
Maybe you just want to be a fan.
And all I ask in that way is disclosure, right?
Just like be open and honest about what you're here to do.
And don't try to pretend that because you've chosen that thing, that the people over here who are imposing a degree of difficulty on themselves, that is harder, are the people who are your enemy.
It's not that way.
It's just, yeah, it's farcical to put it in those terms.
It's like a child's understanding of what the media is.
Totally.
Guys, I got to read this indictment.
