I'll try to raise this with my studio boss and urge him not to invite Geoff Keighley over again until there's a satisfactory explanation for this shit.

Is it really worth it Geoff?
What's with all the attention that these bigots get as of late? Geoff shouldn't invite these shitty people to his show. This is so damn disappointing. :/
Geoff likely has no real insight on Boogie outside of maybe the "both sides" which is kind of a small internet meme now.
Add to the list:
When a Magic The Gathering personality got banned for leading a hellish harassment campaign against a woman, this was Boogie's response.
He blamed MtG for the harasser's actions for "forcing" a pro-diversity narrative on them and tried to personally intervene to get the harasser unbanned. He always, always goes to bat for the alt-right. The fence-sitting is just to massage his ego and provide plausible deniability.
It'll take a little for me to find it, but I remember hearing he used to scream at her and threaten to kill himself (and that she was a whore) when she tried to deny him junk food (when she was trying to help him loose weight)
Yeeeaahhh wow. Never was a big fan of this guy, I thought his old Francis videos were funny back in the day, but even then I always had an inkling that Francis wasn't much of a joke, but more of an uncensored version of himself. Stuff posted in this thread pretty much just confirms that theory of mine. It's like he lured people in by being a pathetic loser, and then reeled them in by being an asshole.
Maybe Keighley can see what a lot of people can't (or won't): Boogie2988 is not a monster. He is a person who has good points and bad points, just like everyone else. You may not agree with everything he says (and that would be normal) but painting him as some kind of irredeemable demon is pretty extreme. Not surprising, because the Internet, but discouraging nonetheless.
Glad to see you've got your priorities straight.
I didn't exactly have the highest opinion of him before, but the sheer lack of empathy in that second clip is shocking.
Same I've been here over a year I spend between 20 min to 2 hours a day on here depending if theirs some intresting news other than that mostly 30 min, I don't post much and I tend to stay away from hot takes and outrages thread doesn't mean my account is a troll account
As for this boogie guy tbh last time I heard of him was when he won some award on this show and when he was Unboxing his ps4 in like 2014. Idk why people waste their time or argue with him if his spilling a lot of bullshit just puting him in spot light and giving him more audience. Plus I don't follow any YouTube gamer personnel for some reason they all rob me the wrong way

That's the only compliment I have of Boogie. The rest is... Yeah I don't want to do 2000 words of why Boogie just flip flops all over the internet on his stances.
Fuck boogie. When has he ever stood up for the people he claims to be an ally for?
All he doesn't is gaslight LGBT and minorities and tell them they should meet halfway with people who think they're sub-human

Among all of this dumb garbage that boogie does the fact that he *still* does Francis in 2018 is embarrassing and should have him ostracised from the larger video game community
He's only 3, so hopefully Boogie will be out of the YouTube game by the time my son is old enough/aware enough.
Oh for sure, I would too. Doesn't absolve Geoff of anything and he needs to call him the fuck out.
Probably isnt an irredeemable demon, but until he starts to walk that path of redemption then it is fair game to judge him for his words and his actions, and to expect more from those who prop him up.
The dude was giggling while telling people how his ex died of cancer.
Not sure what good points he has, but he has a LOT of bad points.
Gross. I was going to watch this but I guess I'll pass now. Seriously disappointed, Geoff should be ashamed. Boogie is a bad human being.
I don't think there's anyone in this thread saying he's an "irredeemable demon" they're just calling his bullshit out. If you say and do stupid things in a public space you can't expect to not get critique. On top of that he's pretty active at saying something shitty, apologizing for it, and then return back to his status quo which showcases he doesn't really seek to improve nor is he ever truly sorry for anything.
His bad points seem to overshadow any good points that he has ever had in his life.
It's almost like Boogie has a long history of saying vile shit.
I'm not going to enumerate all of the shitty and stupid things that Boogie has said over time, others have done a far better of that than I ever could, but I would like to point out to those that may sympathize or even appreciate his content that what he says about his centrist stance on issues is not true. Typically when Boogie is discussing a given subject where one perspective is extreme and another isn't, his "center" will be the middle between those two points of view, not where the morally grey part of the argument would be which is where a centrist would typically hold his stand. Boogie's opinion won't ever be neutral or "centrist" because his "centrist" opinion will always be skewed towards the most extreme argument.
That is why I don't respect him. That is why I don't follow his content. That is why I think he should not have a platform to present his heavily skewed "centrist" perspective.
The only thing he does, is look at two dots in a line, pin something in between them and call that a day. His own standing and his own views are meaningless because they are not his own, they are just roughly the middle point of whichever two points of view he happens to look at. His moral compass is a dog turd floating on water.
Where will it land? Wherever the extremist winds blow.
Only one thing is certain, wherever it does land, it will smell.

No one is calling him a demon. We're calling him an asshole.
Just based on these 3 clips :
Holocaust one : hes not wrong. That IS the "silver lining" to the holocaust. Everything about the holocaust was horrid. The way they discovered those practices is horrid. Obviously everyone would want these practices discovered by non-nazi doctors in humane ways, but it is what it is. Ya, you add the "let nazis speak" thing hes doing now and it looks bad. Real bad.
Gamergate: this one, someone please correct me if im wrong, but in 2014 isnt that when it first started? This one is just bad. If he did any research he would've known it was just a witch hunt on zoe.
Third one: idk if he loved his mom, could that could change the whole context. If he loved her it seems like a nervous laugh after saying everyone he loves is dead and nobody else laughing at his gallows humor
I dont follow or watch boogie or any social media personalities but i decided what the hubbub was in here since i did use to watch him at the very start when i wasnt sure if francis was real. (Only saw the mtg vids)
As a person who lost his father 2 years ago from lung cancer, I honestly can't watch that video of him making fun his past gf, I closed it half way through. I used to think it was just hyperbole hating this guy, but after this there is no excuse, what a disgusting human being he is. I wouldn't wish cancer on my worst enemy and he is just laughing about his old gf dying from it? How pathetic can you be to do that?
Remember guys, your opinions of him are on a minute scale compared to those folk who do like him, that's why he is at the Game Awards.
Resetera petri dish opinions are that.

What's the matter brother?
Is it really worth it Geoff?
Scared of your little sister's right ass?
Mom and dad aren't home...
Yeah this. Labelling him as a centrist is insulting to centrists actually, lol. I'd actually say I'm pretty centrist myself on issues, even though I do have a strong stance on things I'm able to put it in perspective on the issues that stance can lead to.
Some things like Charleston for example isn't one of those issues. It's as clear-cut and dry as it could be but assholes like Boogie and many others always try to use false equivalencies to justify not taking a stance on anything despite issues like that being so abhorrent in the first place. It's the equivalent of trying to find the middle ground between someone murdering a girl for pleasure for me: There is no middle ground.
