Fans took issue with the fact that Pokimane already had a substantial fan-following, while the podcast usually uses its platform lease known works and creators in the anime and gaming sphere. CDawgVA was asked his take on this situation in a recent Twitch stream The podcaster replied-
"I don't really care. Sometimes, the subreddit really gets like that. They just get it in their head. They whop themselves over nothing."
CDawgVA went on to state that Trash Taste just films with whosoever they wish to, and think can hold an interesting conversation with them. “It’s just how it’s gonna be” he affirmed. He felt that if they kept getting guests that everyone likes, it would form an “echo chamber” and that they like getting guests even if they are considered “controversial“.
