Yeah good point. Clearly black or white. Perhaps boogie didn't think through his point and his reference. I get what he was trying to say though.

If he retires I wouldn't care I've never watched any of his content apart from a rage video at some point. I just think the issues highlighted in the OP can be discussed without the "look at the stupid thing he did on stream one time" or bringing up the clear issues he has with his parents.
But if you want your hate thread go for it that's fine there just isn't much worthwhile discussion here.
There was never any worthwhile discussion to be had, we're discussing Boogie2988. Nothing he creates has any value and it's not even provocative because it's about as deep as a kid's macaroni art. It's hard to imagine something closer to an intellectual black hole. It's actually a miracle he can master the CAPCTHA prompts necessary to use websites.
But I'm not sure why we need to have a worthwhile discussion: Boogie2988's career is a testament to the fact that a great many people enjoy watching people be stupid assholes and whine about how liberal safe spaces and feminism and political correctness are ruining the country. And if Boogie2988 can live full time off internet welfare from other idiots, then I can surely do the same thing for free.
Option 1: It's funny to make fun of idiots, and double funny if they're also hateful idiots. And the edgier humor is, the better it is, so if that includes making fun of his mental health or his physical appearance or whatever, more's the better.
Option 2: Making fun of other people isn't nice, which makes Boogie2988 one of the least nice people on earth, and he should be mercilessly yelled at until he goes away so we can go back to living in a civilized society.
Centrism rules.

I hear you. I'm not really trying to shield him as much as to suggest that for most of his audience, those things don't define him in the same way they do Peterson or Jones.
That of course doesn't make it any better that boogie said them, but means that inviting him to a show isn't a celebration of those specific vews like it would be for those other guys.
Sorry, didn't see this! This one is easy to get sources for, because it literally happened 2 days ago! :)What is this about? I saw the video where he said he got a faulty cabinet (something with the track ball if i remeber correctly), but whats the source/info regarding him manipulating them? Is this another unrelated case?
And just wondering, how do we know how much he makes a year?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he saying that bringing over Nazi scientists AKA Operation Paperclip resulted in some good things?
I think he was trying to say how good things can come from bad things (like learning from our mistakes, the Holocaust is not an example of this, but he tried to use it), but instead said that bad things aren't completely bad (which is incorrect).
He straight up used Anne Frank surviving for as long as she did as an example of a good thing that came out of the Holocaust. At best, he has no idea what he's talking about. At worst, he's a Nazi apologist.I think he was trying to say how good things can come from bad things (like learning from our mistakes, the Holocaust is not an example of this, but he tried to use it), but instead said that bad things aren't completely bad (which is incorrect).
Unless he actually really meant what he said and believes that there is something worth celebrating from the Holocaust. I'd have to watch the the entire stream of his to make sure his point wasn't badly delievered.
People are shitting all over Keighley, @'ing him and suggesting companies should be pulling out of the awards.Has there been significant judgement of the viewers in this thread before you posted? Maybe I missed it, but I'm pretty sure it's been pretty firmly focused on Boogie himself.

One dude even said he was going to talk to his boss about blackballing Keighley from their studios until there's an "explanation for this shit".
tbh, I just feel a great ammount of apathy towards this dude, I dont get why anyone gives him attention, positive or negative, his content is bad and his opinions dont matter.
I don't mean any disrespect by this post, I'm not the most articulate individual but, no. The amount of obsession and energy in this thread comes off as some sort of shared psychotic disorder.(not that it is one, but that's what it looks like externally)
no, because that'd force his stans to actually engage in good faith instead of taking the easy way out and just decrying the rest of us as an Angry Mentally Ill Mob Incapable of ReasonLike can we stop hemming and hawing about whether Boogie really meant there were good things about the Holocaust and look at the bigger harassment-supporting picture?
i've been depressed and suicidal for years and somehow, somehow i've managed not to say that the holocaust had a silver lining because anne frank died (???????????????). either i deserve a medal or people should stop acting like mental illness gives you a free pass to be a nazi apologist. probably the latter.
Should have stopped at "not to sound shallow". You do. The last thing this thread needs is fat shaming and implying fat people shouldn't even be on tv. There's already plenty enough mentioned in this thread to take issue with boogie overNot to sound shallow, but he's so physically disgusting. Why would any promotional body want to use his proxy endorsement as a means of burnishing any goodwill to the gaming industry? Wouldn't they want more telegenic personalities, and not Brad Pitt archetypes either. I'm talking regular, run of the mill people that can more easily pass off as being reasonably attractive to the point of being bland. Think of Mike Nelson from MST3K.
Think of it from a layperson's point of view of what they perceive as gamers. And then you look at someone like Boogie. It's not good optics. And then you add to his smarmy whataboutisms on his youtube videos, irregardless of whether one agrees with them or not. I'll use the Milo comparison: at this point in the game, he's almost daring his detractors to fat shame him.
I'd put money down and assume that he'll regain the weight and then some in a couple of years as his obesity looks due to overeating than simply genetics.So is Geoff going to be hated now because he is friends with Boogie? Cory too? Era's most beloved dev on Era?
Good on him for losing that weight.
Dude loses 100s of pounds and your response is :meh, he'll regain it, I'd bet on it!I'd put money down and assume that he'll regain the weight and then some in a couple of years as his obesity looks due to overeating than simply genetics.
Come on, no need to be so aggressive. You should try having a proper conversation with the people you're talking about, and maybe learn a thing or two from them. Wouldn't that be sweet?Resetera, internet police. I honestly don't get this forum sometimes.
The lot of you need to chill out. If you don't like what he says than ignore him. If enough people see it the same way you do he'll fade away.
Also, the people attacking him for his appearance are disgusting and should be ashamed.
"Ignore the bigot and they'll go away" doesn't work when they have a fucking massive following. Ignoring them has never been enough.Resetera, internet police. I honestly don't get this forum sometimes.

Not fat shaming. I just find it odd that Keighley would go with the most odious specimen of the lot. Many overweight people in the world, and yet most compose themselves with the utmost dignity as to how they conduct themselves in their private and public affairs on the web.Should have stopped at "not to sound shallow".

It's contradictory to have Women in Games pieces and at the same time invite people like this
So, we're just having a discussion here. Everything is pretty chill as far as I can tell- no buildings are on fire, nobody is screaming at their computer monitors. Nothing is gained from telling people to "chill out", it adds nothing to the conversation taking place that I can think of. Nobody categorized themselves as internet police, we are not in charge of the Game Awards, we are making our stance clear as we are entitled to do.Resetera, internet police.

Or we could just aggressively talk about what a bad person he is and you could deal with our free speech. If you have a problem with this, go hide in your safe space.
The rest of us are fed up with political correctness.
I didn't bother watching the event. Pretty easy to boycott. Thankfully all the trailers for the Game Awards were posted on the developers' own YouTube channel so we don't have to give The Game Awards or Geoff Keighley any exposure.Just watch the trailers when they upload it some where else, gaming is intimately linked to collaborators of white supremacists, Geoff knows he cant thrive without this people. He might have all the cool Hollywood guests, but Boogie is the one that will represent the true face of the game community.
He's talked a lot about over eating and how it's been his way to self harm.I'd put money down and assume that he'll regain the weight and then some in a couple of years as his obesity looks due to overeating than simply genetics.

Real talk, if you want your industry to be more progressive and inclusive, don't invite people like boogie. Don't associate with them at all.
Not really. I'm not sure why you're all giving this guy so much power. His attendance at an award show doesn't define it or the entire industry.Associating with this guy sorta ruins any good you may be trying to push. The dude is very much sympathetic to those who make this world worse.
