Ep. 77 Premium - aiden W [AUDIO]

2 years later… still no d&d :(

Kelly

SAME i am so thankful that people like him exist in the streamer space bc god knows the transphobia runs deep

quanza

I loved slimes take on the Harry Potter game as a trans person. It was really affirming, he’s a good ally and very well educated for a cis man :)

ashe

Common aimen W. He was so right about Aiden Ross.

Tiger Zuo

My dice roll came up political/smash again:(

Michael Troyer

Learning Aiden likes kanye music is rad (: we are the same

William Hargrove

One of the best bonus episodes y'all have done

Billy Shipley

Take the sponsor but donate it to charity

Isaac Miles

If you guys do a dnd show you should play pathfinder instead of dnd. Its essentially the same game just with rules that make more sense, also wizards of the coast been wilding recently.

Terrence 1q

Bro im in for the d&d show, ill shill.

Taef AL-Hajri

Apparently JK Rowling had no involvment in the production in the game and im sure anyone involved wouldn't be transphobic. However if your still worried about the public shaming you should donate the money to charity or something like that. Still, fuck JK Rowling

Jacob Richardson

If you guys make a patreon d&d show, I will buy the higher tier so fast.

Collin Cooper

Genuinely probably one of my favorite bonus episodes. A lot of good conversation topics that I relate to and loved hearing the differing takes on which helped expand my view a bit further. 10/10 would listen to again

BigChunk

There's a lot of stuff swirling around Harry Potter. Like obviously there's the "don't support HP/JK with money whatsoever but there is actually themes in the series that are questionable at best. Like in-universe justified slavery, the race of bankers with long noses, the fact that ultimately nothing that is wrong in the world is solved by the end of it except that the largest agent of change in the series (Voldemort) is killed and not even by Harry, but by accident.

Pwill

I don't think Aiden is bisexual enough... Fuck you 😜 (if you know what I mean)

HPRIME33

there’s absolutely no way Adin Ross has more 18-22 viewers than 13-18, His content is so dogshit stupid i’m 19 and i have literally never met someone my age who watches any of those streamers.

Finn Eitreim

Didn’t they sneako psycho used to work for mr beast?

Fearghal Cotter

When nick said Armada it hit

Yahir Garcia

seconded

SlapSlapRaps

I agree with @Rasse as a white man who knows that Hatsune Miku is the rightful heir to the HP throne. Stream the game and dono to charity!

SlapSlapRaps

vouch. i’m so obsessed with season 2

misky (miskpilled)

I knew Aimen before i knew aiden

Tosae2

Please please do dnd it would be hilarious

Liam Benkel

It’s possible she’s already made her money from just selling the licence to the studio

Jordan Bradley

i’m sad nobody laughed at nicks abominable snowman joke. i thought it was funny :)

Nathan Jones

ludwig should watch Singles Inferno on netflix. it’s like korean love island and it’s so good

Bryan Velasquez

I’d love a DnD show

Joshua Collica

Drake song of the week is Tuscan Leather

Bizktsupper

@dougie of course she's making money off of it.

Matt Gingras

I’d upgrade my tier for a DND series

Spazzattack25

Whether it matters or not, I think JK Rowling isn't involved with the new game at all and may not be making money off sales not too sure about that part though

dougie sheehan

No but seriously mogul mail and has an and moist are some of like the most popular streamers in a lot of spaces especially in the 18 - 23 age range. Also the yard dnd would go CRAZY

Micah

i have a brother and brother in law tht r super influenced by andrew tate. so much that it’s become an argument frequently through the holidays. they always start with “yeah he’s crazy but…” and justify some of the worst things he’s said. for reference they r 19/21. i think he directs a pretty strong portion of younger impressionable males

Tricia Bowcock

yard dnd would be hype

Téa Laird

im in the same boat as aiden with kanye. college dropout got me threw some shit.

ZoinksZombies

Love Island UK is easily my favorite reality show for all of the reasons Ludwig listed and more. If you get a good season it’s just hilarious

Nate Summers

Idk how that works but yes sir

butler18

Wait this isn't Aiden Ross??? Wtf have I been paying for them! 💀💀💀

Littlepetfrog

as a non-binary listener of the pod, i think lud should take the hp game sponsor and donate the money towards a charity that supports trans rights

Rasse

Get these chuckle fucks in the dome ASAP

John Comedy

Hire brennan Lee mulligan to dm you guys, it would be incredible to see what compelling character slime comes up with.

SlapSlapRaps

A yard dnd campaign where you bring in a good DM and the four of them playing would be amazing

Melvin Linderot

Pls do dnd

Nate Galasso

just pirate it

liam cooney

As a non-melee head, whenever I hear of mewtwo king, all I think of is the tattoo artist in the Garfield tat ep who said he wanted to rail mewtwo king.

Mort

To be fair, Aiden is too bisexual. As a bisexual man myself, he’s taken it too far.

Sleeepy

Ok I think the 55+ boomers being more dangerous is definitely a man/economic centric point of view, as it is the younger men that have the highest chance of abusing women and the misogyny is definitely what these people are preaching

Studying Hard

Thats true, but counter culture people like trump or tate gain more prevalence from backlash and headlines. They can really only be limited by deplatforming and jurisdiction, which both are undergoing right now. Even if they dont receive charges, they still have to lay low and will lose the majority of their fanbases

Garret Towner

I would upgrade my patreon level for the dnd thing, but it needs to be done right

Stan Shun

yh take that liberals

Steph

The yard DnD would be dummy content. I think since dnd is historically a huge time sink I'd offer up the idea of doing it monthly

Emanuel Ceja

I mean that’s very fair, and you are also normal people and I think your perspective as a trans person matters a lot, more than mine or Luds. I’m not going to play the game and I don’t want to support JK Rowling either, but even if they’re both bad I feel like Lud was sort of drawing an equivalence between playing it and taking money. Like, if I learned my friend bought the game I’d be like “oh, that kind of sucks. Wish you wouldn’t do that”, where as if I learned they took money to talk about how good it is i don’t know if I could be their friend anymore. Obviously it’s different when it’s a content creator and not a friend you know personally, and I’m sure being trans gives a new perspective on it, but it was mostly the “these two things are the same” that I was trying to comment on.

Cross Road

I prefer to separate the art from the artist. I love Harry Potter and that’s that. She’s already rich. Boycotts in video games never really end up working.

butler18

it seems like ludwig isn't considering the impact of how tate + ross fans treat people in real time. the idea of pushing it back to what could happen in the future or treating it as a "phase" doesn't help. women and trans people are being treated poorly and discriminated towards now which is more important imo

duwapkainefan

21:53 this is exactly how i feel about gen-x with dave chappelle

Scufflet

I started listening to The Yard originally because Gus Johnson got outed as an abusive boyfriend and overall shitty guy, and relistening to Gus & Eddy episodes just felt weird. Desperately needed a replacement for my weekly youtuber banter pod. I agree it’s a personal motivation - I didn’t end my viewership of Gus content because it was en vogue, but instead cuz the wholesome nature was tarnished.

Cooper Lewis

I can only imagine how hype a Yard DnD campaign would be! I'd love to watch ya'll do an actual play!

Damion Musselman

this episode was one of my favorites, banger primo boys

breezie

Just commenting here since I’m a listener not a watcher but Nick, the book you’re reading is great and if you want a similar recommendation but different topic I highly recommend essentialism, sounds like you’re already interested in the topic!

Griffin Knock

howdy do my fellow Earthwalkers 👽

doolsey

yard dnd campaign is something id upgrade tiers for

Dario

I am very interested in a Yard D&D session!!

Watermelonation

I’m unbelievably pumped for The Yard D&D

Alex Schabert

if harry potter was a big part of your childhood and you really want to play the game PIRATE IT take the money right out of jk rowlings and warner bros pockets the devs got paid while making the game it wont affect them PIRATE THE GAME

Dominic Cooper

As a trans viewer my opinion on the Hogwarts game sponsor is that it’s obviously up to you but the game itself contains a lot of racist themes (the bankers and jewish stereotypes) but i don’t think i’d want to watch a stream in which u have to promote a game built off the back of bigotry and a creator who genuinely wants trans people to be exterminated

leon cunningham

I’ve never once been enticed to get the upper tiers in the Patreon but if you make a D&D group that will be the fastest subscription of my life

Devon Merithew

as a trans watcher of the pod idk if i’d feel comfortable with it due to the transphobia and stuff but it’s prob worse for me than normal people but idk

leon cunningham

primo dnd would be goated

gchillin

I think that taking a sponsorship to play Hogwarts would be a little bad. I feel like the whole JK Rowling thing is a really important part of this games cultural existence and taking money from the company to not mention that feels like an endorsement. I don’t think playing it is wrong, you don’t have to agree with all the media you consume, but taking money for it is an endorsement in my opinion, where as buying it is not.

Cross Road

Dnd yard would be lit

Juston Metarref

Great commentary this week.

Daniel Hupp

Enjoyed the discussion this episode a lot. Throwback to that guy that told Nick he liked The Yard because it makes him think. He would have loved this episode.

Max Powers

With what Pokimane said, it's already illegal to threaten another human being, whether online or offline since its against the First Amendment so I have no idea why she thought there was no law against online threats. The problem is that the law enforcement and legal system refuse to see online threats as credible as real life threats since there isn't a face attached to it, specifically in regards to the US. With enough time and more people campaign for online threats to be taken seriously, eventually the US Government and many other governments worldwide would take it seriously.
