FTFY.
They usually allude to GG goings on during podcasts and how stupid these people are, so their stance is pretty clear, but as policy they won't really talk about it directly. Just not something Jeff wants to touch frequently.

"why yes you can. I'm a black guy and this doesn't offend me at all. They're just words and I have much more to worry about; like being a jackass."

Idubbzz is lucky he's sorta unknown to the non-youtube audience. He says the word every other video.

Yeah thought so, glad to hear I'm listening to normal good decent folks.

I love most of their content. But like yeah the RPing at times could be a bit mean spirited(but it was a different era of the internet wasn't it), which can attract terrible fans. But by the looks of it, it didn't.

None of the Youtube animators are, unfortunately. I don't know what's wrong with them. I mean, they're all white and male and young, so that's a reason for why they are such edgy tryhard shock jocks. The only decent Youtube animator I know is Jaltoid.
I remember the video got posted here and got a lot of positive feedback.

It needs one more nominee, so Boogie can be in that precious middle of his.
At the time a lot of these people had kept up their facade. I highly doubt any of them will be invited back for something like that again.

We have to remind people sometimes, because we live in a post racial America.......havent you heard?
I start all my oppinions like that.
Waitress: Would you like the soup or salad?
Me: As a black man......
Well I think Jontron takes this one easy tbh. He basically gets to call black people inferior, wants to secure a future for the white race, and gets to come back a few months later like nothing happened.

Go all in on Easy Allies, they're all super nice and respectful. Sometimes a little to PG for my own tastes but i take it in these times.

Only way I see this getting addressed is if someone addresses it in an acceptance speech.
I totally think they should, but I just don't see it happening.
And the winner is Sargon of Akkad

What's your opinion on fat shaming, Boogie?
Oh, can't go there, because that's personal.
He aint a gamer.
Why would it? It's an award ceremony for the people who work in the games industry, not a place to discuss this issue, unless you're talking about the "Best Content Creator" bit.

You should listen to the beastcast. Alex in particular has no time for that shit.
Have you been to his channel lately? I watch his stuff frequently and although he never says anything blatantly racist, they make black characters just because "black people are funny" and he says things like "most of our viewers are autistic".
He just walks an extremely thin line.

idubbbz (and the whole filthy frank crew) tend to get a lot of positive feedback despite regularly saying and doing a lot of abhorrent things. I think there's a general disconnect where people like to believe they're playing a character whenever they're in front of a camera to distance themselves from it, which to a certain extent is probably true, but also...doesn't really matter. If the end result is you saying slurs into a camera, even if you're just doing it as part of some edge lord character performance, you're still doing it, it's still inexcusable, and no one on the other end can differentiate fake racism from real racism - which is why they also attract a bunch of racist fans who would say they totally aren't racist.
The day I find out the Easy Allies aren't good people is the day I give up on life
But seriously, I appreciate how family-friendly they keep it in a sea of edgy hardcore gamer content.

Yea they definitely toned down the bully type content. Pretty glad they're good folks.
Honestly, I think there is a strong bias towards Something Awful content producers being decent people.
Here's an updated list.

I've been thinking this all week.
You wouldn't have choked on the cool, refreshing taste of Coca Cola®. Try it during your next racist-based thread, we think you'll taste the difference. Next up, the world-premiere reveal for the brand new No Man's Sky II. Stay tuned.
Damn, what did Boogie do?
That's the thing using the word with any variant is still going to be racist as some people(like me) with take offensive to the ga ending whilst some wouldn't.
My point is I don't see why the ga version needs to be continually highlighted as the one that was not said given it's still a word that is offensive to people and is not universal accepted when another race uses it. Context doesn't really change the reaction from people.
I know it was just a goof
So many of them don't actually do cartoons anymore. Apparently youtube made it hard to make money off of short cartoons and then you find out they'e not so great as people.
Like I still like Egoraptor, but he only does Game Grumps now.
Basically he defended Jon Tron (maybe he did something worse I don't recall). Something like: "I don't agree with the guy, but it isn't that big of a deal".
Don't be ridiculous...
Boogie won last year, so he probably won't be nominated again.
The day Kyle Bossman is revealed to be a holocaust denying, hateful bigot is the day I adopt a hermit life style and swear off the internet for the rest of my life.

Yea it's not like similar award ceremonies like the Oscars or Emmys are ever used to have individuals speak up on issues.
Oh wait.
IIRC, they came out when GG got big and said they kept quiet for a while because they didn't want to give any credence to it, but felt like they eventually needed to say something and therefore did so.
Combined with the "award" they gave Palmer Lucky and numerous comments from Jeff on his Tumblr, as well as comments on their podcasts, their position on all of this is very clear and consistent, and they're on the right side fortunately.
cut & paste for pretty much every one of these YT / twitch gamer trashcans, think about how many of these motherfuckers come out of the "gaming" community, it is beyond pathetic
Yikes. They need to take the kid aside and awaken him and show him what the world really is. Don't be the token black kid who lets white people call him the N word and nervously laughs it off

Defended Jontron, said his racist comments were just, "him trying on different hats."
Moviebob and Jim Sterling are both very woke as well.
AFAIK, he never said "that fucking ni..er", or something like that that. When talking about it, he says it instead of "n-word".
This was yesterdays golden nugget tho
only gives a shit as to how far it can affect his revenue.
I sometimes watch SidAlpha's content, as he deals with DMCAs quite a bit. However, his video today was so focused on Campo Santo abusing the DMCA that he ended up giving PewDiePie a free pass. Saying things like that PewDiePie "accidentally said the n-word" and that Campo Santo is taking down the video because PewDiePie said something "they didn't like". It all just feels icky. SidAlpha may be an okay guy, but this makes me question how he really feels about people of color...
As far as I am concerned, it should be pretty fucking hard to "accidentally say the n-word".
