You still "uh" too much. Though as usual it tapers off once you get rolling.

Of course some so-called "academic" would "reveal" how "Dangerous" RPGs are. Surprised there have not been more.

There's not much that's very academic about about this article at all. And for a professional psychotherapist there's a few things in the article that are direct violations of academic standards.

Seems a trend anymore.

Though I think the left tossed academic standards out the window along with journalistic standards, can you elaborate on this?  I'd like to share in your insights.

I think it starts with this is a consumer version prior to the real paper, or something along those lines.

Well, I go into details in the livestream: Clio wrote an expose masquerading as an academic study, has no citation, apparently breached ethical standards for her profession by being disingenuous to the people she was interviewing (Olivia Hill has now shared emails where Clio claims that Zak is a dangerous red flag who must be stopped), and then proceeds to make open "diagnoses" about both Mandy and Zak in a way that is clearly a violation of standards for licensed therapists in most jurisdictions. It's one thing if I was to say "Mandy is crazy" or "Zak is not crazy", I'm a historian and not a psychologist; but if you are a psychotherapist this appears to be a professional opinion; but Clio took it even one step further and made it very clear that she was saying this AS A PROFESSIONAL OPINION.  People lose their licenses over this sort of thing.

Except that if this was a "consumer version", it exposes literal career-ending levels of misconduct as far as any kind of legitimate study is concerned.

What a name!!!

I know.  I want to raise a toast to whoever coined the term.

Didn't RPG Pundit coin the term?

I'm assuming it was either him or Grim Jim, but I want to give credit where credit is due.

First time I saw it it was Grim Jim using it. Twat is a very Brittish term, I bet it was him.

This is embarrassing.

Twat = 'female pudendum' (aka 'cunt') in Northern English and Scots slang, or, 'an idiot' in Southern English slang. The north/south divide on the UK mainland can cause all manner of confusion - as London born ex-Prime Minister David Cameron learned when he said 'the trouble with Twitter, the instantness of it—too many twits might make a twat'.
