Patrons Only: Step Into The Faculty Lounge, K-Flex -- We Need To Talk About GamerGate And Basecamp
After Jesse complains about his bland new diet, the hosts discuss a very disturbing viral video Tariq Nasheed (aka Tariq Elite, King Flex, or K-Flex) disseminated to his quarter-million-plus followers -- a controversy which, like everything else in the universe, touches on GamerGate. (Jesse knew who Jeremy Hambly was! He just knew him as TheQuartering.) Then they turn their attention to the Basecamp controversy, which involves hi-lariously foreign-sounding names, and to a very intelligent controversy involving faculty lounges (which don't exist). Plus: Permabanned shoutouts!
