Gamers United!

Join us on The PokeSphere Podcast as we dive into a topic that's shaking the gaming world: censorship! In this powerful episode, hosts Draco and Guren are joined by special guest Unseely King to discuss the growing pushback from gamers against a new wave of censorship.

We'll trace the origins of this issue back to last year, when similar attacks were made on manga and anime, and share our takes on how this new front in the culture war affects gamers.

We want to give a huge shout-out to content creators like Madam Savvy, Chibi Reviews, and Hypnotic for their tireless coverage of this issue. Their work has been essential in bringing this conversation to the forefront. We also recognize the efforts of Japanese creators like Yamada Taro and Zkurishi, who have been fighting the good fight on their home turf for years.

Finally, we'll draw parallels to the past, looking at the long and arduous battle fought by Dee Snider of Twisted Sister against censorship in the 1980s. What can we learn from history, and how can we apply those lessons today? Tune in for a passionate, unfiltered discussion on a topic that affects us all.
