I find it interesting that viewers seem to run in the same channels. Offline I don't know a single person who watches Drinker or Shad or half of the weird shit i do. Then here on some random group that I don't even know how I found this place or wtf Kotaku even is, I find people who name-drop shit that I watch left and right. Whatever you are, you are my people.

And also, I think us Americans are less inclined to pull our punches when it comes to criticism about stuff. If something is just barely tolerable I've noticed that non American whites (Euros, Brits, Oceanians, Canadians) will be like "well this wasn't TERRIBLE" and Americans will just call a spade a spade "that shit was gay as fuck". I think the general pro censorship culture of other countries affects their banter even when private and online.

American (right wingers) wonder why our Canadian and NZ/Aussie compatriots are so inclined to go along with whatever the government says, for example.
