Yeah it's up in the air for now. They may get a replacement and continue it like how Podcast Beyond did. Who knows.
Atheists beyond not believing in god have all possibles political imaginable.

You should really look in the mirror and challenge your own views as well buddy. You are acting as if you didn't dismiss my views like I did yours. Difference is you have the wolf pack on your side. Which is actually just the way I like it to be honest.
But alas, Horizon Zero Dawn beckons. Raincheck.
I'm not sure how you can say this when the GOP just introduced a bill to charge more for preexisting conditions under the ACA while giving tax breaks to CEOs of health insurance companies. What is that if not "evil"?
This is one of the biggest problems with political discourse in gaming communities. No one feels politics is serious unless people are literally dying in the streets/being gunned down. The threshold for when politics becomes an issue is so amazingly high... except in matters of which podcaster/youtube personality can say what. Then apparently all bets are off and we're facing the last bastion of free speech in America which needs to be defended to the death.
I hope all of you Colin defenders are as passionate about your podcast figureheads as you are about national politics.

That's what Colin did.
Then you are wrong. Again, you can argue that the tweet wasn't offensive, and that no one should get upset over it, but it was the very definition of sexist, and there is no argument to be had on that issue.

Yea I agree with this. Although he seemed to love hosting the Twitch show, he should've just handled that along with CWR.
So brave!

Your views have been challenged, by myself and multiple people in this very thread, while all you have to come back with is bullshit accusations of "PC/SJW/Outrage Culture!".
My question to you is simple, if someone found Colin's tweet/joke to be in bad taste, are they wrong to tell him about it? Because that's all that has happened. There was no witch hunt. People used their right to a social platform to voice their views just like he did. And he pouted about it. And called them "humorless sacks of shit". And riled up his legion of followers.
Also your last line is cringy as fuck.
past few days it seems

His narcissism definitely contributed to his downfall. The #colinwasright crap was pretty conceited and definitely made him unlikable. I do worry that some people are overly sensitive and actively look for things to be outraged about. The above tweet is an example. It was a joke, a bad joke to some people, but it doesn't seem like the sort of thing to lose your shit over.
Did you get this line from a Sonic game? lol
but i don't MEAN it when I say all women are hormonal bitches! it's just SARCASM! GOD!

It was sexist but not bigoted. It also doesn't reflect his views, and thus I do not consider him sexist as a person.
Haha got me there.
I can say as such for others in some cases. But not you. You are honestly just an unpleasant simpleton who can't muster an argument to save his life, and resorts to aggression to push your basic point across.
Finally my efforts have been recognized.

This whole situation started because he couldnt take criticism well. And its not the first. You could check back when people were criticizing his incorrect assumptions about the PS4 Pro and trying to correct him (politely may i add) and him acting like he was being attacked and took his ball and went home.
Buddy, I deal with such a kind of crazy that someone who simply removes himself from the conversation when they see they're wrong/doesn't want to change their mind is truly refreshing.
Besides, I hold very controversial views that I know I can't share because even though logic is on my side, the correct thing is to hold a different view. So I can relate to the guy, even though we think differently.
I want to quit my current job to start my own company and I'll be the first one to point out my performance is slipping because I'm unmotivated. If I left right now, most people around me would say I want the easy way out instead of pushing through the bullshit and getting the shit I don't like done.
I won't pretend to know what the fuck happened. Although I will assume something happened, just like you already have.
"take criticism very well"
Having shit roll off your back with a snarky comment is better than debating people into a dead end. Taking criticism very well isn't always accepting criticism for me, it's having a healthy attitude towards it and not being bogged down by it.

It was definitely less obnoxious in the early days of Beyond.
So you're a one man wolf pack?
I take it that you didn't listen to Beyond back in the day or read his articles on Insomniac, Naughty Dog, and Sucker Punch if you think that's how he got famous.

Even though Phil is an unlikably dense douche, I don't even think he is stupid enough to buy into the same shit that the others do.
Nah Ethan aint even close to the shit Jontron posts, I hope he doesn't go down that route he has swayed when he has gone too far into the *both sides* but generally is pretty good at making fun at the most outrageous regardless on where they stand.
That's pretty much why I didn't like him on KF and why I didn't like response he got on twitter/ITT.

God damn, you draw some very strange arbitrary lines. I also never used the word "bigoted" once, but since when is "sexist" a better thing than "bigoted"?
Also, I don't care what you consider him, that's not what we were discussing...the thing he did was sexist. And people like you defending it are just painting yourself with the same brush. I don't care if you're sexist, or if Colin's sexist, but just admit it and try to improve.
Yeah I barfed a little in my mouth

Wait, is h3h3 a right winger now? Last time I checked he was a central guy who made fun of feminists (who deserved it) but also exposed someone for faking a black lives matter violent act.
And people say GAF is progressive. Try being a minority or a woman here and you'll soon see that's not the case. The mods are just merciless. Which is good, but it's only a fix, not a cure.

Unfortunately, Colin has a strong right wing fan base and KF's fan base has strongly turned on them and many people are upset that he left. People think they are snakes that back stabbed him publicly. KF and Colin going their separate ways was the right move, but it's going to be interesting how they restore order and move on from this. Colin was a prominent figure on this channel.
The problem isn't even that Colin is sexist. It's that he made this dumb ass "joke" and people responded with "hey man, that's kind of fucked up, you shouldn't use a hashtag meant to show solidarity and support for women as a platform for a sexist dad joke" And the response to that has been nothing but "OMG, SNOWFLAKES ARE SO OUTRAGED"

I had a huge long post but then I said it wasn't worth it. I will say this:
When the oppressed has taken enough shit, don't be surprised when they start fighting back. When they fight back, you better be able to defend yourself.
In this case, Colin has failed to defend himself and has gone back into *gasp* his Safe Space which is something many people hated about EsJayDubyas and Libruls. Now guess what, Colin? It's ironic, isn't it?

I think of myself as center left, and I've only just recently got into KF but I found Colin tolerable.
Edit: Sorry, I just caught up on the twitter feed (I've been busy.) Yeah, Colin was out of line. And Glen Beck?

I mean, you're talking about someone that is basking in the outrage his racist fans had over him making a really sexist comment, while trying to pass it off as a 'joke' (jokes should probably be at least an attempt at being funny typically fyi).
If you really want to simplify it:
Guy makes sexist remarks and goads his 'army' into acting oppressed over it.
vs
People don't like sexist remarks because they're shitty towards people that are ACTUALLY oppressed instead of just feigning outrage.
It seems pretty clear which is in the wrong, and I actually do think it's extremely black and white. One just has to see the kinds of people supporting and making the exact argument that Colin was making to see just how far he's trying to appeal to that side.
Also, good riddance. I don't care about Kinda Funny, but I respect the remaining guys a lot more for not just letting his shit slide longer.
Ok? I mean, if you ignore all the shit onj twitter this past week maybe, but you can't ignore that since that's what brought this all about. Dude is a shitbag.
Can't say I'm surprised. People can like someone but disagree with his ideology as long as it doesn't negatively impact on work/business. I've always enjoyed his style and energy, but I would shake my head at some of his antics. In a bubble they were harmless, but watching more and more his twitter and then the type of people who would flock to his defense did not help him.
First time I was "what the fuck" about something he said was the IGN vid where he talked about gun controls, and how the US was "a nation of armed citizens who only let the government rule by consent". You know, like it was back in 1776 when the entire country was the population of a mere 2 million.
