In video game design this would be called "emergent storytelling".

A screenshot of BBC News showing two stories. One is about Bob Vylan, a band that performed at Glastonbury and is now being investigated by police for leadng a chant against the Israeli army, and the other is about twenty civilians killed by bombs dropped by the Isreili army.

So if the BBC is primarily funded by the licence fee, and you can request to not pay the fee,have you all done so?

    Nope, I pay it, and I'll continue to. I see no reason to destroy our biggest public service broadcaster to the exclusive benefit of weaponised, billionare-owned, politically motivated, right-wing media like in the US. The flaws of the BBC exist thousandfold in those that are clamouring to take it's place.

    That's sad to hear. I do hope you're contributing as much if not more towards left wing media to help reduce the harm.

    Instead you'se have your own brand of billionaire motivated, politically-owned, right-wing media to help push genocide denial and transphobia.

    I haven't ever paid it, but only because I'm an insane person who doesn't use anything that would require a TV license

    You and me both. I also don't feel comfortable giving money to people who protected a bunch of paedophiles.

    Only thing I really watched on the BBC was Doctor Who and thankfully that's been shit for years now. Thanks Chibnall.
