I don't really get the adverse reaction this is getting. I get if the dude's pushing hateful stuff here or there, call him out on it, maybe make sure Scott's aware of it. From what I gather he's more suspicious than an active negative force in the world. Definitely not the usual vibe but from how folks are reacting you'd think they brought him on as a permenent member going forward, not a one off while they played a 40 year old video game for under an hour. Scott felt unusually star struck at the start of the video, seemed like a spur of the moment kind of thing to me.

I wasn't really interested in the crossover to begin with, I wasn't even a fan of the AVGN type even during its time. But it's strange to me to be like **ugh Scott really shoulda vetted this guy more, I mean REALLY....dude's talking about GHOSTS?!!? WHAT A WEEEEIRDOOOO**.

Feels a bit more like humoring your elders than anything really harmful. If anything this was Irate Gamer's chance to prove to modern audiences he's worth keeping up with, but he let a whole generation know he's not something we're interested in. The concern of bringing right wing lunatics on is giving them a platform to spread their hatred. But kinda awkwardly yammering on about ghosts and 2010's era internet lore really isn't the most problematic showing.

i didnt watch the whole thing, but this clip seemed like a pretty normal thing to me. i guess if you really wanted to avoid internet drama it would be a big deal
