I know stuff happens. I don't know the full gist of everything that happened. But I will say this. I absolutely hate to see some use this industry and it's fam to get other places.
It just rubs me the wrong way.
Good luck on future endeavors and I hope you still feed the fans that made you what you are.

The dude had "Feminists are cunts" and "Fuck Islam" in his Twitter bio, I have no idea why anyone would listen to him. Calling feminists a sexist slur? Hating an entire religion comprised of more than one billion people? Why have people been defending the guy and saying that he's not so bad?

Er, my understanding of Colin's social values is he's pro gay-marriage, anti-racist and pro-inclusion. I don't agree with his politics, but he's nowhere NEAR the alt-right. I've run into a few of those guys. Not even close.
I wonder the same thing, but here we all are

The oft repeated narrative of "the left" being hysterical and looking for outrage in everything is getting a little much.
"Hey this is a little shitty" or "Man don't be a dick" has been turned into outrage, apparently.

No as tired as the marginalized people who are the targets of whack ass comments/attitudes like Colin's.
How dare women get offended when he shit on their rights every chance he had? I know right? Women should just get over it.

Yeah i get the feeling that colins focus was on other stuff now, particularly politics (weather you agree or disagree with them is your porogative, i personally do not) that being said ive always enjoyed him and greg togeather since beyond in 2010 when i started listening, but now more than ever in this political climate, shit like this is a big deal. I understand, its hard to be friends with people who have such extreme differing views than you especially in a post trump world. Looks like tim and nick were in that both where greg is trying to salvage the friend ship. And yeah colin on the past few gamescasts hasnt seemed particularly into it. I wish them all the best of luck, and I hope colin lightens up and is able to view the world from someone elses shoes.
that wasn't him

because a lot of video game fans are immature, ignorant shit heels so naturally they gravitate towards someone like him.
As i put in the other thread, that's that. Hopefully KF can get back to what it was supposed to, a welcoming and chill place to talk about games and other topics. Colin was getting more and more antagonistic with each passing week and he was bringing in the totally wrong type of fans to what Greg, Tim, Nick and Kevin wanted.
that twitter bio isn't his, it's one of his fans

I feel like if Pax East wasn't this weekend this mess would never have spiraled out of control as much as it did. Unless he decided he was leaving before they left and they decided to announce it today so it would not be a distraction at Pax. Handled poorly all around.

He can't drive a conversation on his own but as a host on the KF Gamescast he's shown he can host a podcast pretty well.
Sure, as someone mentioned, I look forward to these games being made by robots in space. Turns out everything is politics. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean politics don't permeate every topic in some way.

This may be the dumbest post in this thread. Colin has never shit on women's rights. The dude is pro-choice for God's sake. Making jokes, whether you think they are appropriate or not, is not equal to 'shitting on rights'.

That wasn't him, that was a fan . It was an example of the kind of people he attracts and who came to his defence when people called out his tweet.

Videogame journalists these days are just too stupid. People, talk/write about games.

Honestly, it's probably for the best of both him and KF.

If this is your way to defend his bigotry and appearing on Glenn fucking Beck, you're doing terrible job at it.

This is what I thought about him but I haven't been Keeping up with kinda funny lately. So all these people calling him a nazi is confusing to me.
Blows my mind why we have 100 page threads on this guy and jontron. I don't like either of them but you won't see me dropping essays critiquing their every tweet. I know they're not worth my time, full stop.

That is not the reality of the world you live in. You don't actually get to escape politics.

Yeah! If your entire existence isn't about the hobby I enjoy, get right out of town!
This is a great article.
Same. I've always held him and Goes in the same boat of people to ignore. And I don't usually do that but they were always too much for me.

I was pretty confident it would happen. As much as I could say I hope those who wanted his position gone for the joke should be happy, I really think Colin himself wanted to go and do his own thing. The second he said politics are his real passion and constantly complimented Rubin, in that interview, the writing was on the wall.

Good fuckin' riddance. Maybe I'll actually give these guys a chance now.
I've never like what I've read from Colin or his argoantlty titled show/thing "Colin Was Right". However I had no idea to the extent of the reasons as to why people dislike him. I barley got down that blog page before I realised I can see why. Glad I never followed his stuff or gave him the time of day. I'm all for listening to people's opposing opinions, even those I disagree with but refusing to debate anyone is aggroant beyond belief.
