and here is the 5 dollar itch.io bundle that goes towards the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and the Community Bail Fund that we mentioned as well.

And if you didn't see my tweet about it, I do mention it in the show but I did donate all of Explode When Defeated's patreon earnings for the month of May to the Black Visions Collective the other day.

In this episode of This Is Not a Tokusatsu Podcast, Wyatt and I have a real talk with any of our audience that might feel conflicted about our positions on the current events dealing with Black Lives Matter and the protests in the United States. We make our positions clear in an unscripted, conversational fashion but I feel like we got a lot of our feelings across about how much we support black people in this moment, and how much we despise the police and their insistence on dealing with every situation, especially this one, with such brutality. It might be an uncomfortable conversation, and it's one we can only speak on from our white perspectives, but it's one we felt like it was necessary to have even with our small platform.

I also address a health concern I've encountered in the past week that might cause me to take a hiatus from video production for the next month.

Then after that we actually talk about fun, fluffy stuff for a bit with some discussion on old PS2 games and Sakura Wars for PS4 (also sorry for some of the water bottle sounds in the first half). Enjoy the episode if you need it right now, and if you're able to attend protests or at least donate we applaud you here at Explode When Defeated. Take a stand against racism and help make some change.
