I suspected that it might be very strange, and I was actually anxious to not watch it while I was surrounded by any of my family, but my daughter was out last night and my wife went out with a friend for "girls night out" and I fired up The Legend of Vox Machina on Amazon Prime. I quit ten minutes in and walked away.
The gory deaths were animated; I didn't really mind them so much, but they seemed incredibly gratuitous. The f-bombs being every other word was bizarre; it really took me out of the show and its the only thing that I could notice. Then we had weird animated sex scenes, another gory fight, and then a character who looked kinda sorta like a woman except really big and burly, with the sides of her head shaved and a pink beard. And... that's when I decided there was absolutely no way.
The video I'm linking isn't about that, but it's the same thing, right? Like Geeky Sparkles says, this is about "I licked D&D and now you can't have it anymore." Critical Role is exactly the problem with D&D, and they've led in to the problems that D&D now has.
