Ep 123 - Biases in Lore - a podcast by Focused Fire Chat Team

from 2018-03-05T01:00

:: ::

Episode 123 brings Blue, an extremely tardy Justin, Green, Beard, and returning special guest co-host PurpleChimera back together to discuss a rather hot topic at the moment - the "problem" of biased presentation of in-game story information. Namely - is it a problem? The group hashes it out among them (and yes, we're back to the familiar group of Blue and Beard not really being on the same page), using figures such as the Speaker, Osiris, Toland, and even real life examples such as stereotypes in music, the historical research and experiences of Purple, and the dangers of angering abstract artists (GG, Justin).
