Man, fuck this "both sides" bullshit. No Jaffe, we don't need to give degenerate alt-right neo-Nazi bullshit a platform to speak "loud and proud".

Edit:
Our dude is full on making NPC memes now

Lmao, if stripping people like Milos of a platform is ruining America, please ruin America more.

Just a side note some of the specifics of his current ongoing bankruptcy are HILARIOUS.

His activist group paid Ian Miles Cheong $4400 to tweet like an idiot, something he does for free every day.

Yes, our country is suffering because we don't want to hear a transphobe talk. That's the real issue...

and now I don't feel very bad about his downfall after God of War.

I don't agree but I think it's a fair perspective.

I was speaking to my gay friend at a Pride parade before and he was telling me we should be tolerant of the neo Nazi's that try to ruin the parade with their gay hate speech. I really disagree with that, those thoughts (and similar) aren't isolated and harmless. With a significant platform they warp minds.

I agree but is this supposed to be in the video games section? Or is my website glitching

Jaffe made God of War, so his thoughts relate to video games.

So, who exactly is "we" in this situation?

Literally everyone? Because no, Milo doesn't deserve a platform at any event he feels like attending or any website he feels like posting on. That's ridiculous. No one gets that privilege.

Is "we" a more specific group of people? If so, who exactly? Who is it that isn't giving him a platform that should be, and why? Why do they not get a say in who they give a platform?

You see how this whole train of thought just doesn't make sense?

Honestly seems more like this guy is just mad that people are not taking that kind of rhetoric.

I would gladly have the voices of nazis, bigots etc be silenced. There is not valid debate to be had with them. Would Jaffe be okay with flat earhers being given a voice in schools?

He was allowed to speak loud and proud. People just used their own rights to free speech to tell him to STFU. This is how it works.

Wait, Milo Yanaswhatever is still relevant?

I thought people started ignoring him.
Most of the alt-right abandoned him after he was deplatformed and stopped being useful to their cause as a result. He's trying to cling to some amount of fame for himself, so he hasn't gone anywhere even though his voice doesn't carry at all anymore.

There is nothing to be gained from listening to provocateurs like Milo, nothing. Deplatform hate speech and watch it fade away into obscurity.

I agree with Jaffe. I'll take free speach over censorship any day of the week. Just remember you could be next.

Gee Dave, y'know I was interested to hear what he had to say but he was deplatformed by conservatives. So much for the tolerant right.

Is Jaffe deliberately fishing for controversy at this point? First the AAA games bullshit, now this...

David Jaffe - "We can and should allow hate speech"

Move aside Jordan Peterson, Jaffe is the intellectual we deserve.

Long ago, Jaffe used to be in the "guy I disagree with but still respect" category but these days he's now firmly in the "oh shut up old man, what the hell do you know" camp.

Everyone is free to speak about anything, but if you keep saying bullshits for all of your life than you have to face the consequences.

Though in the US you may end up becoming president.
