Friend Request Episode 26 – The Weight of Queerphobia
[Content Warning: Includes extensive discussion of fictional transphobia and queerphobia.] We’re not always positive on the relationships and characters we discuss on this show, but this week is a different matter altogether. I like to think we err on the side of constructive criticism on this show, never hating for the sake of hate, and […]

Friend Request Episode 25 – Sam & Sarah, Asagi
It turns out, the Tom Clancy series is pretty badly written!

Friend Request Episode 21 – Yu & Akira, Adam Jensen
I would feel guiltier about coming back to Persona characters over and over if we didn’t have good conversations every single time. This week on Friend Request, we’re starting off by comparing the protagonists of Persona 4 and Persona 5, Yu Narukami and Akira Kurusu! Then Colin needs to quickly correct verself for their previous […]
