Erika rules

If you like Erika Ishii, they're a frequent contributor on Dropout. It costs money, but they encourage password sharing and like 7 different people sre using my subscription. I think paying for independent media like this is the only way forward if advertisers keep ruining the rest of the Internet. These guys don't have advertisers so they don't give a fuck about censoring their content to make them happy.

They do profit sharing with their team too, not royalties.
And when the strikes happened, Dropout supported the strikes and was given an exemption from the SAG-AFTRA strike. They are pro-union and happily work with the unions to meet the needs of the employees.
Dropout is a rare gem in a field of streaming garbage.
It's the streaming service my wife and I use the most.
Gamechanger alone is worth it.
Um Actually and Dimension 20 are extra foundation. Crowd Control is slowly getting up there as a staple.
EDIT: Erika also makes appearances on Make Some Noise which is like the Dropout version of Whose Line.
- I get a lot of second hand embarrassment so shows with a lot of audience interaction sometimes make me uncomfortable but Crowd Control has been pretty good. More than anything it just makes me wish they had a live audience for more shows since it really energizes the guests.
Dropout is easily a worthwhile subscription for anyone looking for good comedy
Dropout is the only subscription I have.
- same here
Dropout and Nebula (well… before I found out they were „discouraging“ people from talking about Palestine on there) make up most of what I’d normally watch on YouTube.
- I feel like there's a ton of pro Palestine content on there. The only this Reddit thread is where I'm sourcing more thoughts.

- Thanks for reminding me to not renew my annual subscription!

They also have a YouTube channel with episodes of their shows on it so you can try it and see what it's like.
Personal recommendations: Game Changer, Breaking News, Dimension 20.
Damn, thanks for this comment — it was doing my head in trying to remember where I knew the name Erika Ishii from

Okay, but giving Sony money is not the most effective way to express that sentiment.

I mean, what's the reverse of a boycott?
- Girlcott
- ttocyob
- Boycotts don't work either, for that matter.
  It's weird that we so often see political/social problems and think "I know, I'll help solve this by giving (or withholding) my money from some for-profit corporation and hope the influence will trickle down to the cause I actually care about!"
  Instead, you know we could just support activists working to advance that cause (or outlaw that bad corporate behavior) directly, right?
  I just think it's myopic and counterproductive that so many people seem to think "vote with your dollar" is the only strategy to consider, especially when they're working-class and have negligible numbers of dollars to vote with.
  Edit: I have been boycotting Sony for 20 fucking years now, ever since they put rootkits in music CDs. I'm not saying "don't boycott things;" I'm just realistic about how effective they are. Getting Kimmel back on the air is the exception, not the rule.

erika gives off insane levels of horny gremlin energy, which is really funny when she's on a show like game changer with a bunch of nerds. i'm assuming the reason she hasn't been on an episode with jess ross is that the studio would collapse into a thirst-singularity.

It's a highly contagious energy.
I think my favorite clip of hers is when Brennan's prompt was "A Dom DM" on "Make Some Noise". Just straight up went into a fugue state.

I’m conflicted. Let’s not forget that Sony/Sucker Punch just fired a longtime trans employee for expressing relief at the loss of a dangerous oppressor. Or that the firing was done while this person was being subjected to a campaign of rightist terror and harassment. That must not be forgotten, it must not be forgiven, and it must not be tolerated.

If you're conflicted over ordering: Don't pre-order anything period.
- And the choir said “Hallelujah! Amen!”
  I’m conflicted about supporting Sony or Sucker Punch in any way whatsoever, not only preorders. What they did to Drew Harrison is beyond unacceptable. Studio head Brian Fleming has made it clear that he is a nazi and fascist sympathizer and collaborator, and a violent enemy of the trans community. Ghost of Yotei and Sony should be boycotted indefinitely until Fleming and everyone else responsible for the attack on Drew is removed and Drew given a public apology and offered their job back with interest.
  I cannot stress this strongly enough, Brian Harrison and Sony Interactive Entertainment helped nazis attack and harm a trans employee. Fuck them with rusty metal razor wire.

If you're anti antifa you are FA!

Please always link this glorious clip from public German broadcast
- That shit goes hard. And I do mean "shit"! nyuck nyuck nyuck
Seeing them live soon. :)

Had us going in the first half:

but the second made it better

Respect!!!! She have "balls of steel" :) I will placed a pre-order for this game.

She's easily my favorite little bisexual gargoyle.

Hate to be that person, but I didn't know who they were and went to the Wikipedia page and found the they prefer to go by they/them.
- According to their twitter they go by “all pronouns”

Preordering in 2025

My coworker just told me about Ghost of Yotei today. That's awesome that Erika is in it

Didn't her wife build an irl Gundam? If there was ever a contemporary voice actor to portray a Japanese person, it's fucking E.I.!

I was really lucky to see Erika last week in Chicago while she was performing in the 20 sided tavern.

(It’s a D&D game on stage with improv comedians and interaction from the crowd)

It’s really fun, and it was the final performance for her run there. During the adventure the audience effects things by voting on their phones, naming characters and completing challenges for skills checks.

Anyways, the audience chooses Erika to be a himbo barbarian. hilarious.

Later the someone in the crowd is asked for a name for an enemy we came across. The man picked in the audience says “Erika Ishii”. So now the bad guy is named after the actual person playing one of the characters, hilarious.

Later, in the second half we again need to name a character, and a different person on the other side of the theater says “Berkeley Mayor”.

There was a moment of confusion, until Erika shared that her sister is really the Mayor of a Berkeley California. So now the adventure becomes absolutely insane, super meta and one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

There was clever word play by the other cast members about the various characters Erika had voiced. The apex coming when The Himbo Barbaran, played by Erika Ashii, called the “mayor of Berkeley” to drop and air strike on the bad guy “Erika Ashii”. Pretty amazing.

Photos: The Himbo Barbarian and The Mayor and Berkeley meet on the docks.

The entire cast and the evil Erika Ashii in the background.

Monty Python fans know…

WHAT?????? PLEASE, bestow upon us the knowledge!!!!!
- I'm Brian and so's my wife

Wait... I thought "antifa" wasnt a group?

Antifa is shorthand for “anti-fascist.”
Anyone that opposes fascism is Antifa.
You can get your membership cards here: antifa.org
Antifa isn't an organization.
Antifa is a loose classification which amounts to "Anyone who is antifascist and active"
- I still consistently see/hear people saying/writing "I am antifa". Not "I am against fascism for these reasons..."
  Ok, yes, its shorthand. But it also has implications of being "active" like you say. With the implications that our current president and administration are "fascists", it all implies that you are an active agent working against our current government and system (be it fascist or not).
And Brian isn't the messiah.
