I forgive you

Even if he was playing a Brit you’d expect some basic fact checking, but it’s a particularly bad mistake given that it’s an Irish series, based on a Irish novel, with a plot featuring Irish characters taking place almost entirely in Ireland.

I fully expect the journalists are aware of that, they just instinctively see “Irish” as a subset of “British” in their heads

There’s a fuss in the US at the moment over the US Army using Twitch as a recruitment tool, hiring CoD streamers then plugging JOIN THE ARMY in the chat and stuff. Fully grim shit.

That stuff was so weird, they were posting links into the chat with stuff like “click here to enter a draw to win a ps4” and it would just go to a recruitment page. Latest I heard was some streamers were trying to sue them for banning them from the chat for posting about war crimes, as a breach of their constitutional rights! :smiley:
