The Anomalist Radio Network

Hello everyone! Welcome to Season 3 Finale of Optional Opinion! On this episode, I touch on my Optional Opinion topic "Why Racism Doesn't Exist In Video Games". I cover why the characters matter over the race, sexism and hate playing a bigger part, if there is racism, you can find it in online gaming, and mechanics and other factors sell a game and not race. You can read this topic at ign.com under enime. You can email the show at myop2comment@yahoo.com and follow me on Twitter @thatretrocode.
