"Feminists are cunts"? "Fuck Islam"?The type of supporters Colin has to attack others.
Whoa. I actually started looking through some of KF vids on youtube to see if I could find him spewing this type of hateful stuff.
I learned he had a show called Colin Was Right, which I found to be quite ironic.

Shitty political opinions, but he was the only one in that office that could hold an actual conversation about games. Gonna take awhile for the rest of them to find their footing.

Anybody who thinks this is about a single, out of context harmless "joke" is completely fucking dense.

I could not say "it's awesome he's going on Glenn Beck" with a straight face.

I didn't know he had beef with Gies, was this over the joke incident?
I don't like this anymore, let's get off this train. xp

So the suddenness of this announcement makes it seem like Colin did not clear the Glenn Beck appearance with anyone else at Kinda Funny before he did it.
C'mon man, you gotta have better business sense than this. You know the political things you say get people riled up, and like it or not, you represent the entire Kinda Funny brand.

You mean an edge lord couldn't handle someone calling them out and decided to take their ball and go home? You don't say... Hope he finds his safe place.

B-B-But my talking head gabbing about games though?
He always rubbed me the wrong way, but man that tweet was damaging for something that is clearly a joke. I'm as anti-Trump and alt-right as it comes but my goodness the shit I hear in person when playing sports or out with buddies having a beer would put to tears anyone who's legitimately stirred by Colin's tweet. Jeez
I'm more of an Easy Allies guy so I can't really tell what else Colin has been stating but it does feel like his negativity and lack of gaming enthusiasm didn't make sensne for KF anymore.

Good, now I can watch their content. This dude has been an annoying asshole since IGN. He's a terrible, smug, ignorant human being.

Arthur Gies face turn. Took a true heel like Colin to finally put him over.
No, he didn't.
Half the stuff being thrown around in this thread is coming from people who read his tweets here and there and/or caught a 30 second sound byte.
The people who really know and follow KF know that and know what kind of person Colin is. I wish I had the time to call out all the posts for their inaccuracies, but there are so many.
Lol I'm not shaking hands with someone like Gies.
Oh my god.

Yeah that's fireable offence, easily. You're part of a brand, you represent it to everybody. You can't just go on a radio show because you want too.

We need Gies to make a Venn diagram on the things he and GAF agree on.
I keep agreeing with you in every thread about this. I looked up to Colin for years when he was in guides. Now I'm happy that he's gone.
This may be the first lol.

Because it's easier to be reductionist than it is to think critically.
Maybe don't make shitty, sexist jokes in a public-facing context when your income depends on others' charity?

Lately i was perceiving that Colin wasn't enjoying video games any more... and looks i was right...

For anybody curious but unable to listen, Greg's basically repeating words like 'different directions, different priorities, different things, no hard feelings on both sides, we're still friends' while Nick and Tim just nod their heads.
No one actually thinks that. They're being disingenuous and trying to create a false argument that they know they can win.

I've been out of the loop. What tweet?

If he simply spoke out against the crazy talk from his right wing fans (like he did with the left) and tried to be reasonably right wing and fair, he probably wouldn't have been canned. But since he had a carefree, I don't give a shit attitude about the Tweet and in things in general, KF had to pull the plug. It left the fanbase divided between people calling him out for his comment and another side calling those fans crybabies. He created a toxic environment for KF. They've always been uncomfortable with how political he is. You could tell.
He basically made the rest of KF look like disloyal snakes to Colin's fans by his carefree attitude about the Tweet.

He must just block people randomly because I'm blocked as well lol. I hardly even use Twitter so its not like it was something I said to him.

Jesus Christ, I nearly called this a few months ago. There was something wrong that I couldn't quite put my finger on.

Yes it's a real post. Are you intolerable of my opinion?

Him being right was part of the problem I bet. He was too right.

I might give KF a chance now
The only sad thing about this is that I wanted to make a half-troll, half-serious thread called "top 5 gaming patreons" where the main troll would be that KF would be nowhere to be seen. But now that Colin is no longer on it, I probably won't hate it any longer, so the joke would no longer work. (I actually sort of like Greg.) That's a bit of a shame, it would've been a fun thread to make

Yeah, there's no way Greg's going to address the tweet fully. It has to be that as the prime reason. Come on, Greg. Don't bullshit bullshitters.
