3. No way #1
2022-01-16 01:09:00 +00:00
* Jared: No way this is going to work out, Dave is too much of a dreamer and doesn't know how this works
* Dave: Jared's too uppity, professional, doesn't care about kicking TERFs, Dave's ex is super critical of Jared
2022-01-15 23:50:05 +00:00
4. Stuck together
2022-01-16 01:09:00 +00:00
* Fire alarm, they get stuck standing next to each other in a roped off area
* They distract themselves about "building is on fire, gonna lose my laptop", so Jared explains the limitations, Dave feels better
2022-01-15 23:50:05 +00:00
5. No way #2
2022-01-16 01:09:00 +00:00
* Dave: It'd be cool to have Jared help, buuut he has strong morals that prevent him from saying yes
* Jared: Conflict of interest: relationship with streamer would keep him from promotion --- company has performative allyship and going with this would cost it, too

6. Bone town
2022-01-16 01:09:00 +00:00

7. Seeds of Doubt:

2. Retreat
2022-01-16 01:09:00 +00:00
* Jared: feels put on the spot by Dave's presentation, job on the line
* Dave: Too vulnerable because the yeet TERFs button didn't work, so he feels maybe this is a systemic thing and will never work
2022-01-15 23:50:05 +00:00
3. Choose fear
2022-01-16 01:09:00 +00:00
* Dave: gets swamped by TERFs in his next stream, thinks fuck it, not going to even try

4. Wallow #2
2022-01-16 01:09:00 +00:00
* Jared: so lonely, going to work myself to death and shut myself off from everyone
* Dave: going to quit Swish because this always happens and isn't worth fighting, he's reevaluating LGBT relationships and he doesn't have a voice to speak to them despite wanting to
2022-01-15 23:50:05 +00:00
8. Choose love
