I think the issue is that this is exactly what KF believes their audience wants to see, which is why they produce such a large amount of content (including a daily show that is effectively just their reaction to the news of the day).
its really weird that they are googling stuff and at the same time saying, "eh well, we don't have the time to look over all this"
have you considered that they are more somebody uninformed of the situation than an earnest attack? i mean it seems fair to give them the same benefit of the doubt that you're giving andrea rene and greg miller, no?
I like them both quite a bit and I follow their Games Daily from time to time and always tune in for Tim reaction videos...
Despite all the "advances" that POC have made in Europe and North America, this quote has somehow aged like a fine wine. It's sad, really.
Ah, yes, they are so uninformed that they know about all the weak defenses of PDP & Notch and can make a "taken out of context" assessment of the situation but to not know exactly of all the bigoted shit these two have said.
I’m pretty sure the majority of Kinda Funny “best friends” (ugh) want exactly that.
Are they still friends after Colin's "exit" from KF?
I can't give someone too much flak for being uninformed. Like, if someone were to pop into this thread and not know what the deal is with Notch or PewDiePie, I'd like to inform them.
Vinny, Alex, and Jeff are good people yes.Here's Vinny Caravella of Giant Bomb had to say about PewDiePie ONE YEAR AGO.
Giant Bomb continues to be the shining beacon so far.
Just sad how true this quote still is.
Oh no, what happened with easy Allies?
IMO they had their chance the first time they discussed this with such flippant behavior. I don't follow PDP or Notch but I'm well aware of how they are pieces of shit and why. IF they walk their comments back, there's a good chance it's only because of the resulting backlash.
All I know is Colin reached out privately and Greg wanted to move on from the whole thing.
Ryckert has explicitly called out racists and shitheads in the past. He's a big 'ol doofus, but he's not a bigot.
it wasn't anything too bad, they talked about the THQ/8chan thing one week where they clearly didn't know all the facts about it, it was pretty hand wave-y
But how else are you going to BOTH get clicks from talking about a controversial issue AND not turn anyone away form consuming your content?
They are either incredibly ignorant, or disingenuous and totally lacking in empathy. It’s probably pretty easy to side step or deflect some of the bullshit from PDP or Notch when it doesn’t directly effect you or you are just trying to build your career without making waves. Which is fine. Not everybody in this industry has to take a public stand. Not everybody has to cover everything. If you just want to talk about how much fun the latest game is, cool, stay in that lane, but then don’t try and cover these topics in the most toothless way possible. You don’t get to have it both ways.
Oh no trust me I don't mean ignorance in regards to those specific things, there's no playing dumb on this one. I mean usually I like to give him the benefit of the doubt when he claims ignorance about a topic, this isn't one of those times.
