Colin Moriarty is leaving Kinda Funny Games.

I guess it's more the other stuff he's also been saying combined with the joke. People didn't take it as tongue in cheek anymore.
No, that was sarcastic, those aren't his actual views lol.

It's time for your boy Tim to shine
Tim is awesome before I stopped KF he has become my favorite dude. Super good vibes and positivity. Yet he always knows where he stands with an opinion and is really good about disconnecting himself from his own position to give greater context to it.
Real talk, there's obviously a huge, huge untapped market for an outward right-wing gaming personality. There's a lot of money to be made if someone really positions themselves. A lot of GGers ready to throw money at someone and Colin could easily be it. Kinda where I always saw him going, really.
This is basically what I'm expecting to happen.

I liked the episode of Colin Was Right that I saw. Didn't really watch much of Kinda Funny Games though, though I never disliked him on that either.
Oh, well. Good for him.

This was the big drama?
Jesus society got really oversensitive.
Guy cant even make a joke.
That's because everyone is forced to be beige in case they offend anyone, it's not as if he was outrageous infact he isn't but he's just different enough from the norm people get outraged. The worlds a strange place atm.
OMG I died

No worries, Colin won't admit to getting offended at anything, because offended is the worst thing you can be.

There were people who disagreed with it(Colin and Tim as well) and instead of giving any thought to it, or understanding the criticism of his stupid joke, he decided that those people were just humorless pieces of shit
Well I was literally watching Colin's Initial Zelda Impressions literally just now, and I mean his face...
Tim and Greg are cool. Colin clearly isn't into it anymore. Not to mention that one of the first things to come out of his mouth was a tongue-in-cheek joke about feminism.
SO. I didn't follow any of his social media drama, but hey. Whatever. It's important that the people seem happy about it.

That's a good one...he probably would retain ownership wouldn't he?

I didn't subscribe before but will now.
Their fan community probably wouldn't have been able to survive too long either as Colin's notoriety rose and more and more alt-righters started following the site specifically for Colin. The community would have eventually imploded from the influx of those guys leading to conflict with the rest of the fanbase.
Also, it seemed like the rest of the site was beginning to come under some professional ostracism for their continued support of Colin, which probably weighed on them personally. Colin either needed to keep his head down, or they needed to split quickly before things got more painful, and they did the latter.

I think it went beyond the joke. It was everything afterward including how Colin chose to handle the situation.

Honestly, I'll probably start checking out KF again. I was pretty turned off by his attitude. Probably put the business under a bit of stress with his general toxicity recently.

Yup.....and I'm starting to think this entire thing was one elaborate big time ruse to expedite his departure and gain a following in the meantime....
He'll be fine. Just look at how many people agree with his idiotic views. Shit, you don't have to look far, plenty of gaffers support his bigotry.
I hope the best for him. I remember religiously listening to the podcasts he was on week after week. I didn't agree with most of the time, but in terms of gaming, he would bring an interesting and different perspective that I usually would never consider. I think that's valuable in gaming media and we need more people like him willing to debate an opposing view.
Still, stupid twitter drama notwithstanding, I'll continue to follow work.

I think KF is done. Say what you want about the guy, he brought in a lot for their games channel. This really didn't end well for them.

Fifty bucks says Beck is desperate to keep his site above water and knows a gaming section with a political slant would help. Or at least he thinks it will.
Wonder if Glen Beck made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
If you think that was the only reason you need to do more research. This has been reaching a boiling point for quite a while now actually.
the tweet was the final straw I think, this has been building up for a while.
yeah I dunno if they will survive without Colin
Please dear god no.
omg
