Support NeoGAF

[More_Badass]

It absolutely boggles my mind. I just graduated college in psychology and it makes me wonder how many of my classmates hold such idiotic beliefs/opinions even though they went through the same courses and heard the same stuff I did.

Same. Got a psych degree last year and it's painful to see how easily family and friends become attached to their beliefs

My dad is a level-headed, logical, caring, and supportive person, who taught me to think logically and critically, and yet he's also a hardcore conservative republican who exclusively gets his news from Fox and Mark Levin, and literally won't accept any other news or data because of the "liberal agenda" and college indoctrinates kids to be liberals

Not to say he won't actually look at data and stats, and that's why it's impossible to debate him on issues. The right loves to give their bullshit an aura of legitimacy by using studies and data that agree with them, dishonest stats that fall apart if you actually think about them, and presenting it all from a pedestal of "look outside, you can see it happening with your own eyes. It can't be racist to just call that out; you're just presenting the facts."

So their listeners and followers do feel like they're informed and have done research, and thus they have "facts" to back up their "opinion"

 

[PhantomThief]

Because the alt right has a big hold in the gaming community

You mean racists?

 

[Messofanego]

Oh so this is the "race realism" as described by racists.

 

[Nokterian]

Education has nothing to do with intelligence, neither has racism. It's a simple fairy tale that liberals like to tell themselves that racism has anything to do with lack of intelligence. One can be hyper intelligent, yet be an absolute hateful human being.

It helps to understand that when dealing with racists. Trash human beings don't become empathetic just by learning more... they just become trash human beings with a degree.

That's why we need to call this motherfucker out..he is a neo nazi a racist.

He blocked me long ago on twitter because like arthur gies they couldn't take me on of me saying the right things and they being fucking assholes.

 

[AmayaPapaya]

LOL. This dude is so ignorant and doesn't even care.

Have some empathy?

 

[Artdayne]

White racism/supremacy is a bit now? How does one possess brain cells and type that, I'm not really sure.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

It absolutely boggles my mind. I just graduated college in psychology and it makes me wonder how many of my classmates hold such idiotic beliefs/opinions even though they went through the same courses and heard the same stuff I did.

Come to think of it, the core curriculum didnt require you to take the sorts of classes that expand one's knowledge about our social climate, even on a degree plan like my own. Its just take electives, spanish for 2 years, and finish your advanced hours. The courses that actually go into depth about systemic racism and the like arent required sign ups.

So you have people who are otherwise intelligent leaving college without gaining a better understanding of the world at a human interactions level.

I've always felt that sociology/social psych classes should be mandatory while in college but that will never happen, and even if it did people would still come out as dumb fucks on the other end who interpreted the information given incorrectly. Sorry for the long reply this stuff just makes my head hurt.

Yep I worked with a smart kid once. But I saw he posted breitbart shit on facebook. I lost faith in him..of course he was always kinda creepy epsically with younger girls since we worked as lifeguards..even towards his own sister..

he earns 30k a month to make half assed videos about politics

Well, not anymore. His numbers held up longer than I thought--I figured it'd be a month before it started really dropping, it was more like three--and you can't actually confirm it anymore because he hid the dollar amount on his patreon as soon as it dipped below 30k. I assume it's still slowly falling, since he recently had to change his patron goal from 5000 patrons to keep doing his youtube show to 5000 patrons for some extra podcast thing, since his patrons fell below 5000 and I'm guessing he didn't want to stop doing his youtube show.

It's kind of a bummer that he hid his numbers, I was following along with interest as a test case for how long the alt-right would prop people up, and how much impact new stuff had like adding framed copies of a sexist tweet as a reward tier.

I don't get why he's so embarrassed about the falling numbers. It was never going to last, and as long as he's not spending it all in the assumption of future income he should be nicely set from the windfall of anti-feminism cash. And like I said, the numbers fell more slowly than I thought they would. *shrug*

 

[clearestblue]

I think his point was there are a lot of these sorts of people who self-identify as "centrists" when they are actually conservatives.

Her* and yeah that's pretty much it

 

[innervision961]

"Hey guys if racism exists then explain how Lebron James got all that money. That's right, stupid identity fringe leftist liberal snowflakes can't do it can ya!?"


And this god damn clown sits on his soapbox and continues to think he's intelligent. Anybody catch if Neil Druckman retweeted this one?

 

[How About No]

O_O;

Time to start talking shit on YouTube. I will hate and praise according to careful calculations of the current political climate.

Min-maxing hate for optimal profitability.

Popped collar on vid for max douchiness

Isn't the YouTube show the product? If he wouldn't be doing the YouTube show, what would the "less than 5000" Patrons be paying for?

 

[The Futurist]

I've never understood how people liked this guy.

He came across like a scumbag from the first time I ever heard/saw him.

Youtube show had a $10k goal.

5000 for the podcast is an attempt to stop the decline that so far has failed.

His Patreon has dropped significantly almost every week since it's creation. He disabled his earnings tracking back in June. Still has a ton of Patrons though; like 4,800. Well off of his high of close to 7,000 though.

I love how nobody whose credit card declines reups. The second his fanbase has to put a second thought into giving him money, they bail.

 

[kcp12304]

I'm Asian. My family did well in America. I'm very grateful but I would never walk into a trailer park and tell poor white folks: "We did well, so what's your excuse". Even people who uses Asians as a bus to throw Black people under wouldn't take to kindly to that.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

"It's not racist to compliment People.."

I think I saw this Seinfeld episode.

 

[curiouscharles]

Speaking as an Asian-American, I have absolutely faced a bit of racism in my time (though of course nothing to the degree of other people), and to say that white supremacy/racism is invalidated by Asian Americans supposedly being the model minority is a load of horse shit, especially since it shows you think all minorities are pretty much the same.

not to mention white / racist assholes assuming "oh, you're Asian? so you're good at math and piano but have no soul and can't drive" is still racism, even if it means you're not quite as "oppressed" as a black person.

seriously, what a fucking ass-clown.

 

[gamerMan]

Here's a guy who called his friends who didn't agree with him "Humorless Sacks of Shit." He then went on to make bank by playing the victim and never apologizing. It doesn't surprise me that he is also a racist.

 

[iiicon]

"Debate me," cried the half-assed libertarian in bad faith. "Okay," says the internet, making comprehensive arguments rebutting points made in the original screed. "Why won't anyone debate me?" asks the libertarian, rephrasing his original tired points as he collects his $30,000* cheque.

*I haven't kept up, I guess it's more like $22k now. No steppy.

 

[Hello? This is Hailun!]

This fucking guy...

His responses to this on his Reddit are arguably even more ridiculous:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ColinsLastStand/comments/72pqo9/colin_racism_white_supremacy_and_asian_americans/

^^^Read the whole thread. It's a doozy.

Lol. He doesn’t know any Asian people then.

 

[chefbags]

Who? Never heard of 'em

But seriously fuck this dude.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Model minority is very convenient in that, in comparison to white people, the excuse would be that we are inherently smart so how could white people compete? We have an inherent advantage. But in comparison to other minorities, there is no excuse, they simply aren't working hard enough to reach our level.

 

[Neuromancer]

It amazes me that anyone would pay him every month for the kind of trash he produces. But I'll take some solace that the numbers are dropping off.

 

[Formless]

So many libertarians seem to just miss the point.

 

[Glass Shark]

The funny thing is he’s absolutely the most flaccid, toothless voice that all of his stupid right-wing sheep fanbase could listen to. He’s just repeating shit that has been said over and over again for decades, nothing new. He changes his opinions all the time based on what is most useful to him at the time. And he cowers from everything that gets pushback with “it’s just my opinion!” so he never has to back anything up with actual facts and statistics.

In some way we should be grateful that his weak ass drivel is sucking up audience numbers from hateful shitheads that are actually dangerous.

oh .. my god. i can't even.

To be fair, almost every patreon has dips after the initial hype/release. His videos are actually kinda interesting.

That being said, Collin is such a fucking man child and it's embarrassing how he blows up on twitter when someone challenges his views. Or how he hows Uwe Boll and "challenges" people to put their lives on hold to fly them out and debate them live.

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

I would call him a personal milkshake duck, but I never really liked him. Just kinda didn’t mind that he was there back in his IGN/early KF days.

He existed off to the side in a dark cupboard in my mind, and whenever I’d check the cupboard he’d still be there not really drawing much attention from me and not worthy of more than a glance before I shut the cupboard again for another couple weeks.

So not really a milkshake duck. He’s more like a milkshake potato.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Stop giving this moron attention

Considering how many fucking defenders this shitpiece has on Gaf, no. This motherfucker's idiocy needs to be brought front and center.

Seriously, this is textbook "model minority" bullshit that was tired even in the 80s.

Colin is without any substance whatsoever.

I feel similarly.

There were so many and they all look so foolish now that he dropped his act.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Sounds about as dumb as his responses to people saying he has textbook white privilege.

"That's not possible, my parents got divorced and I had a lot of student loans."

Could you please explain what does the green and yellow line mean? Im very confused to what I should be looking at.

I literally just picked four random examples off the top of my head. Feel free to check Graphtreon yourself. Huge and constant declines are not at all the norm. In fact I've yet to find a graph on the site that looks like Colins.

Edit - Went through the top 50 Patreons. Colin is one of a total of two on the list that have constant declines since inception (The Comedy Button).

Yellow are Patrons, Green is revenue.

[BotoxAgent]

Remember that other thread about the cute twitch streamer who has an Asian bf? Yeah

 

[Alucrid]

Could you please explain what does the green and yellow line mean? Im very confused to what I should be looking at.

yellow = number of patrons (subscribers)
green = total dollar amount

 

[prophetvx]

Could you please explain what does the green and yellow line mean? Im very confused to what I should be looking at.

Yellow is patrons. Green is revenue.

Based on CLS chart, it's reasonable to assume revenue is around $18-24k based on the downward trend of revenue per patron, before it stopped tracking.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Fuck off Colin. Where are all the "he's not a right winger!" defense force of his now.

I just saw his "bernie sanders is the biggest roadblock to America" youtube video. The guy's a total shithead and is just as his avatar has suggested for years

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Wow, just wow.

 

[mattp]

Damm son. No wonder he hides his numbers

its great his numbers are falling but its also important to note the y axis on this chart doesn't start at 0
a depressingly large number of people still listen to this shithead
