Topic: Patreon Lawsuit

Comedian Owen Benjamin is involved in a legal battle with Patreon that could cost the platform millions in arbitration fees. After Benjamin was deplatformed, dozens of his followers filed individual arbitration claims as required by Patreon's own terms of service. This strategy forces the company to pay significant filing fees for each case, creating a new legal precedent for challenging tech platform bans.

The hosts argue that social justice activism has become a business model funded by platforms like Patreon. They trace the rise of "butt-hurtness" to legal changes that allowed for monetary damages based on emotional distress. A discussion ensues about the disappearance of workplace flirting and the increasing litigiousness of professional environments.
