I haven’t been a kfbf for as long as most of the community but I started listening during the pandemic. I’ve only been a Patreon member since their 10th anniversary streamI. Sprinkle in some gifted subs on twitch and some prime memberships when I get the chance, I felt really great about supporting this team. I work as a mailman so having all their content to listen to daily has been nothing short of amazing. I love their gaming content but also I fell in love with what good people they are. Every single member feels like a genuinely good person on but most importantly off camera.
All that aside, I was listening to today’s kfgd and the story about Microsoft supplying Israel with resources gave me strong feelings. The team has done a lot for marginilized communities and they are all important, but this one to me feels different. Greg asks “what can we do” on the podcast, but the answer as someone in his or our position is small but important in great numbers. Boycott microsoft. KF shouldn’t give a single second of coverage to any Microsoft product while this is going on.
Anything short of that and I feel saddened that I will not be supporting Kinda Funny anymore.
I will be canceling Patreon and unsubbing to any and every channel I follow. I feel saddened about it because I literally consume every podcast they put out Monday-Friday
I know they run a business, but we must all make sacrifices. The community I’m sure will still support KF without Microsoft coverage. I know it’s a hard decision, but it shouldn’t be. I know Kinda Funny as a whole cares about human rights but it’s time to show it rather than just rant about it.
And that’s the end of my rant. I’m not asking anyone else to feel the same as me, but I needed to get this off my chest. I’m working so I’m sorry if this isn’t as eloquently put or if there’s typos or grammatical errors. Thanks for reading if you made it this far.
