He doesn't now.
His views were always right wing, but never outright racist... but he's fallen down the hole of echo chamber where he gets praise for his views from the racists meaning he no longer has to hide his views.
Shhh... this isn't about facts. It's about illogical leaps and grand sweeping statements.

It's called Colin's Last Stand for a reason. Because he can't. He had a great thing going with Kinda Funny, but he blew it because he just has to be a shitstain all the time.

I fucking hate this dipshit. An Asian American family in San Fran had messages like "Chink Lives Matter" sent to their home, because they dared to stand alongside their Black brethren and denounce systemic injustice towards them. That's just last week, and then you add the near constant daily racism aimed towards people of Asian descent in America, and this clown can go fuck off.

Is he still reading Wikipedia articles for obscene amounts of money?
Colin isn't smart, he just parrots libertarian and conservative talking points. Hell, this talking point is straight from the the alt-right.
He was Greg Miller's roommate.

It's even fucking worse when someone presents him with a counter-argument and all he can respond with is "I have no idea what you're saying".
Happened all the goddamn time on Kinda Funny when he would get stumped. "I'm not wrong, you're the one not making any sense!" bullshit type of responses he would give.

By being white and knowing people who give him an in. Only someone this egotistical could pretend that white privilege doesn't exist when he has yet to have a legitimate job interview or create a resume yet makes 40k a month for spewing racist bullshit. Maybe he isn't disillusioned and its more likely hes protecting his own white privilege.
"Its just my opinion so I can't be wrong, lets just go our separate ways"
The behavior of every alt-right piece of shit.
He also wrote a like 20 gamefaqs instead of paying attention to his history classes at Northeastern.

Didn't Colin used to work for IGN? Or is this a different person? If this is that Colin I remember really enjoying his commentary in reviews and around the gaming industry. Is he now doing stuff like this for a living?

Playing devils advocate here, but he was in high school when he wrote those, and his dad was a first responder at 9/11. Can you really blame an angry high schooler for saying stuff like that?

Saying racism doesn't exist all while saying some of the most racist shit haha.
That time Aisha Tyler basically beheaded him on his own show, showing he had no clothes in a real political discussion where he couldn't fall back on talking points...
That was something.
Yeesh, between that and Greg's constant mugging and ego stroking, how did people put up with that show?

Same guy. Though I never understood his appeal with any of his work at IGN.

Colin's never been knowledgeable about anything whether it was politics, history, or games, so that wasn't surprising at all.
This guy is an example of the type of nerd you find often online. The kind that jumps through hoops to defend their favorite celebrity despite them showing their ass or doesn't say what they actually mean under the guise of being "reasonable". It all comes out eventually though. And it's never a surprise.

Im not surprised that a high schooler didnt have very nuanced views of the world. I am surprised that hes now a fucking grown man whose views have not evolved, and in some ways have regressed.
A good friend of mine has a last name of Moriarty. They're not all bad.

Thanks.
This is quite bizarre. I'm curious if he's always felt this way or if he is pandering.

On gaming side I just read a Chinese poster talk about how growing up people always pulled their eyes narrow at him and said _ love you long time. He should have told them "we make more money than you and live longer on average!"
What did he mean by this?
Member
Because the alt right has a big hold in the gaming community

Cool guys racism is solved thanks Asians!!
Wait a minute, this guy worked at ign?
And was before or after 2007/2008?
Because before that gen, ign wasn't too bad.
Wouldn't surprise me if he worked when it became the drek of the gaming media.

FTFY
But he believes he's right and speaks confidently which is close enough to being correct for a lot of people.

He started in July 2007 and worked on the guides team till around 2010 I believe, but was on Three Red Lights and Beyond well before that.

I sincerely don't know who this is or why he's more important than any random twitter account with the yellow grump snake logo.
I rest my case.
1 thing I'll give Ign though, they make decent guides these days.
Oh wow, I want to know about this. Is there a link. Did he bring it up on Rebel FM around the original Colin stuff?
It's funny how I respected some of Arthur's gaming opinions but wasn't really a fan of them (and his personality) but I thought a lot of his political opinions aligned with mine. On the other hand, I liked a lot of Colin's gaming opinions, respected his fiscally conservative political opinions even though I disagreed with him but like how a felt about Arthur, I wasn't crazy about his personality.
Basically, opposite people but I hated both their personalities because they felt similar.
Lol, good post on that reddit.
It's funny how so many people that claim to be "centrist" find themselves ending up alt-right. Almost like they always were, funny that.
