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.

Yup he is a spineless turd. I guess people like him because then they don't have to do any sort of critical thinking which probably equates to "picking a side" in their mind.

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.

This sums up his presence at the Game Awards pretty well. The controversy surrounding Boogie has not hit mainstream press. The majority of the gaming public know him from youtube and his daily twitch streams. Believe it or not, Todd Howard's presence at the game awards would be a bigger contraversial impact today than Boogie simply on press alone.

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.

The guy is a fucking Nazi sympathizer. That's PRETTY CLOSE TO BEING AN ACTUAL DEMON. I have good points and bad points too. Like, I think Pizza is great! Good point. I think Dark Souls 2 is the best dark souls game in the series. Bad point. Shitting on women and minorities are more than just a "bad point".

Get some perspective.

This website was made in 2017, dude...

Burner accounts with less than 50 posts that suddenly wake up to defend bigots are a dime a dozen. Every time a thread like this happens it's like cockroach Hanukkah. Always with the same talking points and the same old JAQing and the same 'let me just defend this bigot i never heard of'. They 're not slick or smart. Or creative.

Sounds more like a "the rest of the gaming community is a pile of shit" problem than anything wrong with the opinions in this thread.

If the gaming community outside of Resetera supports people like this I want nothing to do with it.

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.

Boogie's example of choice for good the Holocaust did was Anne Frank.

I won't. For a show that claims to want to celebrate games and developers, he went out of his way to kiss Kojima ass in front of an audience and viewers. I don't call up my clients at work and whine about what my wife's employer's lawyers will or won't let her do. It's fucking weird and takes attention away from where it doesn't need to be.

This is embarrassingly nonsensical.

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.

Nah, dawg:
That is most CERTAINLY a controversial sentiment. Nazi science in general made foundational contributions to the modern scientific world, that's not in doubt, but very little of the data generated in the concentration camps was rigorous enough to be useful. Mengele himself was a notorious hack scientist whose only worthwhile contribution while working in Auschwitz was harvesting organs for study from the dead and shipping them to actual professionals with consistent recordkeeping and methodology.

There is a spectrum. Irredeemable demon is on one end. A white supremacy supporter is where he is, which is vile. That isn't an opinion to agree or disagree with, same as being burned by a hot iron isn't a debate. Civil rights don't agree with white supremacy, and I'm fine to be on that side of the world.

Not the side that is tone deaf to what his words mean/support as if wanting a white only world is a good thing, or something that should be compromised.

You say good and bad points, which is vague. No, we've got video and audio. Just use that. There aren't any good points with seeing both sides in fascism... at all.

I think we all need to take a step back and remember that Resetera is in its own unique bubble of self-importance

Are you arguing with a straight face that his comments shouldn't have any consequence because he is popular outside of Resetera?

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.


the whole 'fence-sitting centrist' reputation is honestly far too kind to him, and i say that as someone with a very low opinion of centrism. boogie's just an out-and-out bad person, personally and politically.

Yes, I am posting in good faith and yes I'm starting to see where this is coming from. Always nice to bump into an ex- from BSN.
I wasn't aware of the items you mentioned before this evening except for what I would consider his painful fence-sitting on gamergate which I have no respect for. Ah well, live and learn...

yeah, i thought you probably were. i get that it's likely frustrating to have people jump on you, but there is a whole thread's worth of this stuff, and it's not exactly unusual to get people just asking, 'oh, what'd he do?' over and over and over again, then refusing to engage with the answers, just as an argumentative tactic. as such, a lot of people - including me a decent amount of the time - just don't have the patience for it.

People know why he is there, they just take issue with it.

Also if you just call the stance many take here self-important, just look at what Boogie has said.

i'm not pro-infidelity, but has drdisrespect done something else unsavoury that i'm not familiar with?

because as best we can tell he was not a serial philanderer, he made a huge mistake, was wracked by guilt over it, and has done what he had to to make it up to his wife

i don't know what his political beliefs are but it seems random to compare him to jontron and pewdiepie
Drdisrespect was the guy who handwaved away Pewdiepie dropping the hard r as a heated gaming moment.

I don't think we think we are that important.

Guys like Boogie, needs to be challenged, his shitty actitudes and awful opinions needs to be challenged and presented for people to see.

Yeah agreed. I must admit I frequent gaming forums almost daily and I still had no idea Boogie was so controversial if it wasn't for this thread. I thought he was pretty well liked around the net.

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.

By the time he was threatening to commit suicide if people weren't nicer to GamerGaters, the mainstream media had already caught on to the fact that the movement was bullshit. People who aren't a part of the gaming community knew what was up, so Boogie had zero excuse at the time.

Anyone who thinks Anita Sarkeesian deserved any blame whatsoever for Charlottesville is most likely a GamerGate supporter (and at the very least, too stupid to be trusted with doing any research at all).

Dude isn't even a real fence sitter.

He's just a manipulative asshole who understands that pretending to see both sides and be a neutral party makes him grow and makes people see him with good Will and a good light. He does all of this to make money. He's such a pathetic sorry excuse for a human being.

A real humble human being doesn't brag about his six figure salary income, and then literally a few hours later manipulate an Arcade Cabinet company into sending him free Cabinets, by threatening to post a negative video and sic his fan base on them.

A man making six figure salary doesn't have to beg yesterday on Twitter to DICE to send him a free copy of Battlefield V so he can make a "honest unbiased review." How is it possible to be honest and unbiased when you begged for a free game and got it.

A self proclaimed champion of trans right doesn't continuously pat himself on the back for his "help" towards the community, and use it to try and sweep away his shit comments. He always mentions and brahs about how "I MARCHED FOR TRANS! I TOOK A PUNCH DEFENDING A TRANS FRIEND IN HIGHSCHOOL! I DONATED TO MY TRANS MAGIC COMMINITY. I'M AN ALLY!"

A supporter of the Gay community doesn't make comments saying "You know, the gay community should have just been kinder and more understanding. They went too fast making gay marriage legal and wanting equal rights. They should have waited 20 years to avoid making homophobic bigots uncomfortable."

A supporter of Jews doesn't go around and says "You know, some good came out of the holocaust!"

A supporter of Women doesn't go around and run an old porn blog and objectify the shit of of sex workers and try to sound like a pimp. He doesn't go around and praise Rapist and undermine the pain they caused to his own fucking sister.

Oh, by the way, did you know that in those old Porn Blogs, Boogie made racist comments saying Africans all die of AIDS?

Oh, by the way, did you know recently (a month ago) Boogie hired a woman to be a companion for Videos, and She bluntly told Boogie she is not attracted to him, but Boogie housed her for 2 weeks and showed her off on social media, in his own words "To make those small dick losers mad because I'm hanging out with hot girls. Yeah I used her for views and clicks."


Oh, and he lies about how he met that woman. He said he met her through traditional means, and later admits he met her via websites made for paid arrangements?

Oh, and hours after bragging about hanging out with said attractive woman and posting about it on social media, he messaged his EX-WIFE passive comments? Wonder what his intentions was there.

Boogie is a complete piece of shit and I'm sorry if I sound so extreme. I just really fucking hate him. I'm 2013 he suckered me into feeling sorry for him and supporting him and giving him clicks and a platform for 5 fucking years, and then he reveals his true face. He's a disgusting human being and I want him to be broke, alone, and miserable.

I bet you right now Boogie is crying on Twitter and trying to sweep away all the awful shit he says and does with his classic excuses of "I HAD A BAD CHILDHOOD I WAS VICTIMS OF ABUSE. I DISASSCOIATE WHEN I SAY THESE THINGS. I'M SO SORRY."

Fuck Boogie. Fuck him.

Didn't know it either. I see some of his tweets being retweeted sometimes but other than that most sites seem to like him. Someone like Paul Logan on the other hand is talked about everywhere in a negative way

I dont want to argue this, because i dont want to seem like im defending fucking nazis, but wikipedia shows that some of the nazi data is used to for medical purposes. If not the hypothermia experiments, than whatever they discovered with phosgene gas.

Though with somebody linking to him defending that prick from unsleeved media, fuck boogie.
