Yeah, it really is weird. It feels like if some of this stuff, especially Sjin’s crap, had come up even a year later than it did, it would have had a lasting impact instead of just getting washed off of them. Nowadays people are totally shocked and dismissive exclusively because the victims came out before it was cool to listen to them. You still hear the same crap today that people would never say on things that actually happened in 2018 - lines like, “the evidence was faked,” or “why didn’t they go to the police,” that are comically flimsy counterarguments today but hold up because it squeaked by before 2017.
It would be nice if everyone, including GameGrumps, was aware of what the Yogscast has done and continue to do, but by now they’re not high-profile enough to be worth researching.
