2021-03-041h 19Everything in Poderation: The Internet Culture PodcastHarmful Apoliticism in Video GamesSix Days in Fallujah was recently revitalized for 2021. This first-person shooter based on the Second Battle of Fallujah will be totally apolitical, according to the head of the publisher. Can a shooter based on a real-world conflict in recent memory really refrain from making any political commentaries? How damaging is it for this game to be marketed in a way that’s completely divorced from making political statements?

2020-11-1258 minEverything in Poderation: The Internet Culture PodcastSocial Media and American PoliticsWe say that sometimes, the internet can be too much. The way it has fractured America’s shared reality is a prime example of that. The 2020 presidential election showcases how the United States isn’t as united as you’d think, and the Everything in Poderation crew dives into how social media played a role in that polarization.

2020-10-2256 minEverything in Poderation: The Internet Culture PodcastBoneghaziIt all started with a Facebook post published with the best of intentions. It ended with an arrest and new laws restricting the trafficking of human remains. Daley introduces us to the wonderful world of witchcraft online—and an exceedingly odd incident of a Louisiana cemetery getting picked over for bones.
Strangest of all is the discussion that followed this meme-able crime about identity politics, being woke, and the apparently un-fluffy nature of modern witchcraft.

However, it’s easy to see the discourse in various online gaming communities turn sour very quickly, often against developers. Sometimes, the backlash is warranted; other times, it goes a bit out of control. There are even a couple times where the developers bite back.
Why is there so much vitriol in the gaming space? Why are gamers so quick to toxicity and death threats? We dive into that and more in this week’s episode of Everything in Poderation.
