I see, so he did pick a side. I remember a long time ago people were upset with him because he wouldn't throw his "friends" under the bus. But now I see he actually did lean a direction and that's why this thread is the way it is. Makes sense at least. At first I was really confused.
Why is Geoff Keighley inviting Boogie "Lots of good came out of the holocaust and gays should have equal rights" 2988 to celebration of gaming?
It's absolutely disgusting.

WHY DID YOU SINGLE OUT GAMING
WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME
DID YOU KNOW OTHER INDUSTRIES ALSO HAVE BAD PEOPLE
I wonder what it is that keeps making people overlook this piece of shit's idiocy. Like, even if you thought he was a nice guy before, the shit he says outloud has to be enough to make you change your mind, right?
I think he was suicidal at one point, and that's earned him a metric fuck-ton of pity from people in the industry, so they let him slide on things regularly. Could be wrong though.

Personally I would do research before calling someone I have never met "friend" for this reasons like this exact scenario.
This signals to me that Geoff gives no shits at all. He is exactly the guy a lot of people thought he was, a dude with no scruples will boost shitheads if they help make him successful.
Official Staff Communication
After a brief discussion among the site staff, we're reopening this thread. In review, this thread is not providing a platform for Boogie, his views, or his content, and discussion may continue.
Greg Miller is an okay dude other than his former association with CM.
Ahhh yeah, unless he's got some serious skeletons he's the only decent one.

Can't stand that dude.
Suitable gif for this thread, Liar Liar is a great movie too.
You didn't give a shit about our feedback over the viewership, did you, Geoff.
Also renaming Trending Gamer to Content Creator is nonsense. You may as well rename it to Streamer Award. If it is Content Creator Award, the likes of Mark Brown, GVMERS, or Gaming Historian would have been runners for all these years

It's especially weird in regards to Boogie... I mean... he's an idiotic YouTube Dude. It's not like he's the President of EA or something.
It's not worth me personally getting upset with Geoff and The Game Awards, but it's so odd how publicly cordial some people treat Boogie when they could just ignore him.
As long as I don't have to see him present anything.
I will make a face if he's on audience cam though.

Certainly didn't help that it happened within minutes of Geoff's last visit to this site :P
For visibility
Just gonna quote myself from the Jaffe thread on why boogie shouldn't be seen as a good person.
Just winners, I haven't a clue who half the nominated have been.
Others pointed out Greg Miller and their right that he's the only one.
People who have reached a consensus that we should not applaud nor provide a platform for racists/racism apologists are not a mob. It's a majority of people who believe in the basic rites of civility.
I used to really dislike Greg a few years ago, but after getting into kinda funny this year my perception of him has totally turned around. I would be completely dumbfounded if he had any sort of allegations come up.
Thanks for the admins for reopening this.
Geoff Keighley One small user but for this I will not be seen the live briadcast nor giving any more clicks.

Ah, yes, Greg Miller, who spent a long long time going "awww, why can't we just get along?" whenever his friend/business partner spouted abhorrent bullshit and other people he knew got sick enough of it to call it out. Truly the "coolest" dude.
Not surprised at this, can't remember if it was this year or last year, but Geoff had him on his E3 show, it was on the EA Play segment. Pretty sure he knew what Boogie was then and knows it now. Just more proof of how the gaming industry is still hostile to minorities.
My respect for this guy's dropped so low so fast. Finding a happy middle in itself isn't a bad thing, but for certain things there is no happy middle. Some shit is straight up evil and shouldn't be tolerated in any way, shape, or form. I don't know why he doesn't get it.
Hopefully he won't get on stage atleast.
Wow, Balrog is a Nazi sympathizer too? Should be it's own thread if it's not already. People should know about this, he's the director for one of the biggest games of the year and Sony first party dev.

The game awards exemplifies whats wrong with a large part of the gaming community and this shouldn't at all be surprising. They nominated and are likely to give an award to a man who categorically discriminates against all women. Plus the fact that prominent game devs are all about meeting these people furthers this problem. Just fucking shameful all around. Promoting this shit is inexcusable.
What an absolute shit move Geoff. Please don't tell me he will be on stage. These tweets from other people in the industry are breaking my heart.
Dressing up horrible views with a friendly smile is powerful.
Boogie says a ton of vile shit, but because he doesn't come across as the normal kind of angry hateful person you'd expect people just don't seem to have an issue with him.
It's weird to see him continuing to be featured at events like this when most people that do the stuff he does would be considered absolutely toxic.
