Did we get to the part where protests are best when no one notices that they are happening because of how non-disruptive they should be?I'm watching this dope try to dictate to minorities what protests should be and I'm very disappointed.

Sure I'm not affected by it in any fashion but I KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU!I'm watching this dope try to dictate to minorities what protests should be and I'm very disappointed.
Quote the full post next time:The person behind the best GOD Of WAR game ever made and one of the best action games ever.
Good.Here's some reading material for people not familiar with Milo (like David Jaffe):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_Yiannopoulos#Controversies
In early October 2017, BuzzFeed News published leaked email chains from Yiannopoulos' tenure at Breitbart. According to the report, Yiannopoulos and his ghostwriter Allum Bokhari regularly solicited ideas for stories and comments from people associated with the alt-right and neo-Nazi movements.[7] Among the figures Yiannopoulos contacted were Curtis Yarvin, a central figure of the neoreactionary movement; Devin Saucier, the editor of the white supremacist magazine American Renaissance; Andrew Auernheimer, the administrator of neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer; and Baked Alaska, a commentator known for his anti-Semitic and pro-Nazi tweets.[7] Yiannopoulos also was in contact and received suggestions and texts from individuals in "traditionally liberal professions" such as entertainment and media. Mitchell Sunderland from Vice News emailed Yiannopoulos a link to an article by Lindy West of The New York Times, and requested: "Please mock this fat feminist."[7][143] The report also included a video of Yiannopoulos singing "America the Beautiful" at a karaoke bar, where a crowd of neo-Nazis and white supremacists, including Saucier and Richard B. Spencer, cheered him with the Nazi sieg heil salute.[7][144]

At first, Yiannopoulos claimed to have raised between $100,000 to $250,000. On Thursday, after allegedly giving away just $25,000, Yiannopoulos confirmed to NBC News that the grant fund is no more. The former website of the Privilege Grant no longer exists, and Yiannopoulos made no further announcements about what will happen to the leftover money, i.e. if he has it, or if it ever even existed.
Milo Yiannopoulos Resigns From Breitbart News Amid Pedophilia Controversy
Milo Yiannopoulos, the conservative media personality under fire for comments he made that appeared to condone sex with minors, has resigned from Breitbart News, the platform that has helped boost his popularity on the far right.
"I would be wrong to allow my poor choice of words to detract from my colleagues important reporting, so today I am resigning from Breitbart, effective immediately. This decision is mine alone."
At a press conference, Yiannopoulos, 32, said that he used a "poor choice of words" in a 2016 interview.
In the video, a 2016 episode of podcast "The Drunken Peasants," Yiannopoulos discussed his own experience with sexual assault as a teenager. He argued in the clip that relationships between "younger boys and older men" could be beneficial.
I totally agree with that myself... some issues need to be dealt with, without the tolerance. Some opinions ARE toxic and don't need a grand overseer to dictate that it is because it's morally bankrupt to begin with.
But often times I see too many polarizing views on pretty much everything... and I mean the things like gaming difficulty, are you for or against lack of clothing on characters, are you an apologist for so and so AAA publisher/developer, or what games are acceptable to like.
And not to say such views aren't good for discussion. But like for instance, I may think a developer's views are garbage, and I'll choose not to buy a certain game myself... Then I'll see people dogpiled on or criticized for liking said game by that questionable person. Or others who take to attack someones social media feed because they feel it's their duty to take them down. Maybe it's not the black and white, red and blue division that gets me... I guess it's the lengths people go for their personal crusades that sometimes tip toe into malicious intent that I find questionable. That and the over saturation of lines for an escapists hobby.
He seems like maybe he's just.. unwell. Angry? Seeking relevancy in an industry that has largely left him behind. Because no one outside of this industry gives two shits about this guy or anything he says. He's nobody.
''Let's figure why there's harassment on the part of the police against black man, but hate speech is not part of that. FreeSpeech4Life!''
What the fuck am I even listening to...
In the video he basically says that no one should be deplatformed from any place for any reason, which is such a naive and shortsighted viewpoint given the past few years we've lived through.Has he commented on the fact that Milo organized attacks on other people? Does he still think that's not enough reason to remove him?
Please don't use "triggered" to mean "upset", "offended", "disagreeing", or some other term, further watering it down and thus making people who legitimately need to use the term to describe their triggers look silly.That's the thing, they do. As long as I've been browsing this site, the entire notion of "Separating the artist and art" always comes up. Individuals getting lambasted over supporting the art, when the artist was a scumbag. Literally the same situation happening now.
I saw the title
Read through (Gather more info etc etc)
Saw the aforementioned comment
Made a quip considering I know how this site operates with its hive-mind approach and attacking individuals who support the "Art" of certain "Artists"
Had many individuals respond back with triggered responses (Including my joke over how Gaf is better with this style of posting even though I don't post there)
That is all. Nothing else to explain. This certainly has something to do with the topic at hand, while concurrently having something to do with the forum its being posted on.
If you want to know my honest opinion about this whole direct situation, I truly believe its hyperbolic, on both sides. Not just Jaffe, but here too. I've also read up on the Milo situation as well. He's a right asshole, but as long as his words aren't physically affecting someone, he's allowed his idiotic opinion, just like everyone here is. Just ignore his idiotic rhetoric, just like everyone here needs to ignore Jaffe's ramblings, like-wise for NEOGAF, who're currently stalking this thread as I type this, and that this forum likes to do time after time.
Ultimately, people need to calm down, relax and breathe and not get perpetually triggered over everything all the time. Anyway, I explained my point, if you don't like it, too bad, so sad (General statement, not directed to you L Thammy)
L Thammy, I would like to thank you again for not resorting to derogatory statements and rhetoric, that's quite rare these days.
Edit: I'm only responding back to L Thammy, I don't have time to respond back to multiple triggered individuals.
I don't think he'll care. He was saying that he agrees that people should be able to spread their desire for an white ethnostate, after all, a process that is literally impossible to achieve without genocidal violence.Has he commented on the fact that Milo organized attacks on other people? Does he still think that's not enough reason to remove him?
How can something be occasionally a hivemind? You make no sense.I actually agree with him. Era suffers from a weak hive mind mentality occasionally and can be a little much. Something has to change or we start turning into neogaf. Now i am not to familar with him as a person but 5 minutes into the video he seems upset. What the fuck did yall do?
He is saying we be should freethinkers and sit down to listen to white supremacists to find a solution to hate speech...Is he just collapsing into some shitty ignorant singularity on stream? I'm too tired to watch
?Only watched the first 2 minutes of that don't have the time but I agree with how knee jerk people were in that other thread about him. Just because he doesn't share your view doesn't automatically make him a bad person.

I can't anymore.
Everyone has the same opinions and is unable to think for themselves, except for the people who don't have the same opinions and aren't unable to think for themselves. Easy.

Did he comment on what the targets of these attacks should do? Does he expect them to do what? Just take it as a fact that there are people out there striving to make their lives hell?In the video he basically says that no one should be deplatformed from any place for any reason, which is such a naive and shortsighted viewpoint given the past few years we've lived through.

so he is a nazi that is gay??
Wanting racist nazi to have a presence is the definition of a bad person.
in what sense?I actually agree with him. Era suffers from a weak hive mind mentality occasionally and can be a little much. Something has to change or we start turning into neogaf. Now i am not to familar with him as a person but 5 minutes into the video he seems upset. What the fuck did yall do?
I'm gay as well, sucking dicks doesn't make you smart.
He's "one of the good ones"
I am generally of the opinion that era has a lot of issues. This isnt one of those times though, I dont get why Jaffe doesnt walk away from this one if he is that upset. Is protecting a known bigot really the battle hes willing to take a stand for?I actually agree with him. Era suffers from a weak hive mind mentality occasionally and can be a little much. Something has to change or we start turning into neogaf. Now i am not to familar with him as a person but 5 minutes into the video he seems upset. What the fuck did yall do?
...
Have you not been reading the thread? It's the impetus for this entire conversation.
Did you come in here just to make a crack about us being a hivemind?
Fucking "hive mind" and "triggered" 🙄 who uses those phrases but jerks who've bought into the racist alt right/GOP group think?
I am very tired from work and about to go to bed, I watched the video for 5 minutes. If you don't want to provide a link that is fine.
yes and there are minorities on fox news what's your pointso he is a nazi that is gay?

"The Nazis posed as moral crusaders who wanted to stamp out the "vice" of homosexuality from Germany "
Milo doesn't believe in anything. He knew his value as a token gay and used it to raise his profile.so he is a nazi that is gay?
