And where would one go for a "normal or accurate response" then? Because it's common public knowledge that Rogan is a right wing misinformation and pseudoscience pusher. Especially since the beginning of the pandemic.

"He never confronts any of his guests. "

This is false as of the past year or two (post-Covid). Now whenever he has a scientist on, he'll argue and disagree with them, especially if the topic is Covid, vaccines, or climate change. He really likes the gish-gallop argument method where he spews a bunch of long since discredited claims on the topic.

He is "mainstream" in being known as a conspiracy crank. He claimed January 6th was a false flag: https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/joe-rogan-january-6-false-flag-b2385733.html

He just generally pushes right wing misinformation whenever he gets a chance: https://www.thedailybeast.com/joe-rogan-is-mainstreaming-right-wing-misinformation

Oh, he got way more unhinged during and since Covid. That's when his conspiracy craziness took off for the stratosphere.

Because it's left-wing and Rogan mainly appeals to far right conspiracy cranks?

A lot of the comments above are super creepy in how neutral they are on Rogan, who is well known to be a far right conspiracy crank who mostly platforms other cranks and super bigoted people and credulously spreads their claims as accurate.

He very rarely has actual decent people on and, frequently when he does so, tries to argue with them that they're wrong. Especially if they're scientists.

Sadly, that percentage is probably better than a good number of doctors.

Which is an explanation and that explanation, where you'd defend "family" even when they did do something wrong, if not horrific, rather than say they should face the consequences of their choices.

And that sort of defense is one where the person making it is just as evil as the person they're defending.

Also, in what manner would personal drug use have anything to do with him being a rapist? Their attempted defense is irrelevant.

"So many complaints I can just address as “it’s a bethesda space game, and this is what it’s supposed to be like”."

Why do you have such an incredibly low bar for Bethesda in particular? Demand better or you help make the entire video games industry worse.

4 people I know right now are home sick with the new strain of Covid.

My concern is when I'm seeing streamers play games like Starfield and run into a ton of bugs, often game-breaking ones, but then go and praise the game to high heaven.

I just want a basement level of proper standards, that's all I'm asking for.
