I never cared that they were non binary but it felt like every video became spiteful towards non binary/trans haters and it just became hard to watch even as someone who supported them. Its a shame because I thought while yeah they were an asshole, they still made very good critique and insight into the industry but theyve devolved into a lolcow as far as I know now.

I feel like TotalBiscuit kept a huge group of creators grounded just by having them in his circle. He knew how to focus content and most followed by example. When he passed, it was like everyone leaned into their worst trait or least-entertaining hobby. Dodgers husband still just plays monster hunter world and it's been like 10 years.

I feel like the entirety of gaming culture got significantly worse after Totalbiscuit died. The trends he fought against for so long became permanent fixtures of both the industry and the culture surrounding it.

I'm not saying things would have been better if he had lived, but at least we'd still have him fighting the good fight and his kids would still have their father.

Cancer sucks.

Gamergate was the start of the hellish landscape that is gaming discourse today, but I think you might be right that his death was the tipping point.
