Yes he's incredibly stupid and uninformed and spineless. His stupidity doesn't excuse anything though, not saying you are just adding to your post.

Boogie2988 invited to the Game Awards (famous champion of 'both sides' in regards to white supremacy)

I've read the entire thread and I haven't seen anything specific.
Not everyone chooses to associate with known alt-righters, no.
He was invited to the show in spite of his views being clearly known to anyone paying attention.
I would suggest rewatching the video linked in the OP and searching the forum for a certain topic pertaining to Boogie and the Holocaust. If you still don't see any issues I would suggest having your eyes checked.
His opinions tend to lean toward the Alt right. I'm sure he was invited. It's not hard to not invite problematic people to an event. Especially those with a platform. Not to mention the host of the show pretty much openly embracing him.
Like I said before. This industry uses diversity and inclusiveness like a fucking buzzword, but constantly put their priorities in favor of people like Boogie, PDP and others. This industry refuses to take out it's own trash and in many cases defends said trash.
I used to watch some of this guy's videos in the past, and realised he's a really dumb, ignorant person and his opinions are badly motivated and kind of blowing where the wind seems to go.
His desire to please everyone is just kind of sad. It could be a fear of rejection or something.
I don't like him, but I really don't think he has a lot of influence, I would just ignore him and not let it ruin a hopefully fun show. :)

This thread turned to fuck Cory Barlog huh? You know the man probably is unaware of many of the things this guy because of how hard he worked on the game. If you really think that Cory somehow sides with all the things that guy said you are absolutely wrong and I can't believe people can jump to that conclusion so fast.
Pretty much like I don't hate Geoff. But he's a business man first and foremost. There's nothing wrong with that. But I also don't buy any of the shit he says because he has zero integrity and does what he needs to do to make money and further himself. There was a passionate speech about Konami but nothing about any of the issues that happen in the gaming realm directly related to the types of people you do business with. So I respect Geoff's hustle but I don't respect him.
Maybe he realized nobody thought Francis was funny and instead adopted the persona of "Boogie the Woke Centrist" to rake in cash from clicks and views and this is just all one long con.
Wasn't Brandon a guest on Colin Moriarty's podcast after that shit show?
No making fun of fat people was the one thing that consistently triggered him and then it was no fun allowed jpeg
Anyway I wish my favorite personalities got a spot like Super Bunny Hop but ya know
that's a tweet of him replying to the backlash after he said gay people should've waited 10-20 years or so to get married because homophones might have calmed down by then
Danny O'Dwyer also somehow congratulated that tool who started up The Escapist with a bunch of Gamergate dog-whistling. O'Dwyer seems pretty ignorant and naive, as also seen in his initial dislike for Anita Sarkeesian (until he somehow came around instead of going full gamergate misogynist).
His documentaries are also just industry hype pieces more than anything.
Cory makes video games. Just a reminder.
Why is everyone implying that he is aware of Boogies background?!.
The dude is a fence sitter for sure but didn't he win some award at the show last year?
why are people surprised that he's being invited back?

I don't know why you even try. The emulation of twitch chats that this forum manages to do sometimes are pretty impressive.
Do tweets and images not show up for you
He doesn't even pick up on blatant sarcasm.
Not to so easy to hang in the middle when its an issue that actually effects him.
He should think about the suffering the people he both sides feel about all the shit they go through. They could fill rivers with the tears of what they've suffered through in their lives as minorities or LGBT.
I don't understand, I don't follow this guy but if he is so bad why people that, dare I say, I consider respectable like Geoff and Cory are cheering him? Is he that famous?
No one here is mocking him for being fat so you're screaming in to the void here.
Holy fucking shit. This is one of the dumbest things I have ever read.
It's not hard to denounce shitty people.
I denounce Boogie, I will not associate with him on any professional or individual level, his views are harmful and ignorant and do not reflect my own.
That was not difficult.
He was given sanction to attend the event in the form of an official invitation from the creator of the event, meaning Geoff Keighly thought it wise to reach out and make sure he was able to come despite Boogie's harmful views against women, gay marriage, etc.
Welp, I guess it's called the Game Awards appropriately. Boogie represents a shitty side to gaming culture that I hope one day passes.
Screw that fucking melon, and the choice to fly him in for the awards is a boneheaded decision

Only people who are ERA Approved get to look at award shows.
Since people are gushing over that shonen jump game which a convicted pedophile gets money from since kenshin is in it. I'm sure they can stomache corey being friends with mr both sides.
Being embraced by the host and creator of the show and like I said. I'm sure he was invited. Boogie is a very public figure with shitty fucking views. And things like this at the very least shows the Geoff is ok with ignoring that just for viewership numbers.
Boogie isn't a centrist - he's a closet racist who uses centrism to appear "neutral".
Also he's a coward.

Buddies with Boogie. I can't stand people who try to act progressive then chum it up with pieces of shit.
Bizarre whataboutism, but I've posted numerous times (as recent as today) about cancelling my GOG account and opting not to purchase anymore CDPR games.
Any other unrelated assholes you want to bring up?
seriously, this
I'm blown away that an awards show for games has absolutely no categories for outstanding game systems design, gameplay engineering, etc. It's all about favorites within genres, narratives, and production values.
Are you a potato?
There is literally a tweet where he said Gay people should have waited to come out.
Another where he accuses Anita and feminists about Charlotteville.#
He said the "Holocaust wasnt all bad".
In response to PDPs "Death to all Jews "joke, he wrote that:
Doesn't Cory have an account here?
It's one thing if all he knows of Boogie is his gaming work, but its another entirely if he knows of Boogie's terrible hot takes and still chooses to be chummy with the dude.

Did you just fucking say "I don't see the issue" after being shown that he said that "something good came from the holocaust"? jesus fuck.
