Yep. It's weird how the people criticising Colin have had one singular point whereas the people defending him flip flop around coming up with a myriad of excuses, even ones that directly contradict the excuses they have previously made
Yeah. In Colin's eyes challenging him to be better = abandoning
Especially love the "do you have proof that women are not allowed to speak out in our society?" posts in a thread based upon a tweet forcing someone to leave their place of work for which he chastised women for talking too much. Its unreal the mental gymnastics people are jumping through to defend this.

Take this with a grain of salt, but according to Vince, Colin getting him a job at IGN saved his life. Colin was his mentor basically and always praised Vince's writing.

Huh interesting. Any idea how they knew each other?
As it's always been: "safe spaces for me, crude, lazy insults for you."

Vince was a random Beyond fan who turned up drunk to Beyond 200 according to Greg.

Not surprising, again he's cultivating his little audience, he'll get all those sycophants to follow his every word and tell him just how gosh darn smart he is....
There is a market for this type of "commentary" sadly.

At the end of the video why are they talking about being allies.. and keeping up the fight, and an army of individuals.. are we at war or something?

Can I ask an honest question? If someone like Louie CK, Dave Chappelle who joke about rape on their stand ups made a joke similar or something on twitter/social media would you think the public reaction would be the same?
Would there be the same outrage like there is now?

You might've missed the best one 1h13 in talking Milo.
"I don't like mean spiritedness, just not who I am, he'd call himself a provocateur, that's not who I am".
Moments before he was saying his peace and quiet tweet wouldn't have worked on any other day.

So are you saying that Colin is equivalent to Milo? Because that wold be a surprising exaggeration IMO.

Context is key. Colin was not criticized solely for the joke itself.
No but I would say that immediately calling anyone who disagrees with you a sack of shit is sorta mean spirited and not quite in line with the image he tried to portray to Rubin?

Watch any EZA video and you'll get better.
Chapelle had several threads about some choice comments he made about transgender people here not too long ago in which people were rightfully criticizing him for it. CK doesn't strike me as the guy to make jokes at the expense of rape but I don't follow him outside of watching one of his standups.
Also doubling down and attacking those calling out his "joke" absolutely escalated the situation.

No I wouldn't be saying Colin is equivalent to Milo.
I don't think outrage is a thing. I think people can disagree and criticize things. Outrage is what people call criticisms they don't agree with now, unfortunately. People do that to comics and comedians too. They're not immune to it. I think it's healthy, to some extent, to have a back and forth about these things. People can disagree or misinterpret things. Satire or sarcasm doesn't always play. Maybe it shouldn't. I don't think there's a lot of room for shit like the most notable offender from Colin, his comically-lazy, shitty women's day tweet.

So what would be the context on twitter which only allows what 150 characters?
I got the joke immediately, it's like something you would see from a a 90's sitcom, hell the movie little rascals from 1994 has a literal same joke when the boys make the He-man woman haters club.
Like I got the joke immediately because i'm the same age and from the same type of era. And I would say that me being a pay it forward type of person I'm not considered a sexist, or a racist.
Which some of the publications are calling him.

To be honest I think everybody knows what Colin's projecting himself as and the audience he's trying to create for himself by this point. If people are willing to think that systemic prejudice and refusing to speak up for the persecuted isn't as bad as directly persecuting groups at this point in American history they're not going to change their ways. The kind of people who support him are the kind of people who are ignoring his actions and taking his words as gospel. What's the purpose of debating them? His fanbase aren't going to criticise him until he slips and says something they disagree with like Milo.
At this point claiming anybody attempting to protect free speech and tear down safe-spaces is a clear sign that they're projecting their need for those things in order defend their ignorant views.
What's a 116 page thread on this doing besides feeding Coliln's ego and giving him a talking point for when he's invited to do interviews?

No, he is comparing the hypocrisy of him distancing himself from what milo calls himself, " a provocateur". And then him saying before, that his woman joke wouldn't have work on anything day, which means it wouldn't have worked without provoking a response because it was International Women's day and women were protesting.
These two ideas cannot coexist together
He then attacked his critics and called them humorless sacks of shit, many of these critics were colleagues of his and/or people who watch the show.

Dave Chappelle has gotten criticized for his transphobic comments.
Louis CK, from the ones I've heard, tells rape jokes that punch up/criticize rapists. It's still a sensitive issue, of course.
Ninja Scooter

Everyone got the joke. The issue isn't that some people didn't get the joke. If you are under that impression you are sorely mistaken.
And the joke was sexist. That was sort the point. Seems dumb to argue otherwise.

Of course because stillgrey is literally the prototype for this kind of thing. Plus Colin has the advantage of not having to say he's completely changed all his own views to attract that crowd because he's always had them.
Further, being a joke rooted in earlier times doesn't help the situation what so ever.
Yep if the comedian consistently doubled down and blamed "outrage culture" and "liberal regressives" for taking a misogynistic joke as a mysoginistic joke, it sure would
Exactly my feeling. Poor Colin, always the victim. Snowflake.

He just left a company that he started with his best friends, and is being grilled by former colleagues that he's helped in their careers, and he's talking about how rubin has given him a hand up in a trying time.
That was crying out of overwhelming emotion, not distress or fear. Big life changes can do that to anybody.

It's a damn well sexist thing to say on International Women's Day using the activist hashtag that was being as part of the protest against Trump and his regime's sexism which is going to drastically hurt women.
It's literally not much different then going to one of the protests and shouting that shit at those women in person.
Also it's not fucking 1994 anymore and Colin isn't a literal child no matter how much he acts like one

You know what else creates overwhelming emotion? When you or your friends/family are Muslim, or Mexican, or immigrant, or LGBT or a woman, or disabled, or reliant on the ACA and an administration who has spent the last 18 months demonizing those groups has just won the Presidential election, yet Colin didn't seem to give a fuck about their feelings in the moment.
So is there more to this story other than the joke Moriarty told?
This thread isn't as big as it is just because of that little joke, right? Because if it is... then I dunno... maybe the world is in a pretty good place because if people are getting upset over something so minuscule. There must not be bigger issues out there.
I hear far worse on a daily basis from coworkers, friends, and just acquaintances... and I know for a fact most of these people aren't "sexist" or "racist"...
So if there's more to the story then so be it, i'm pretty ignorant of the situation. But if there isn't, and people are this upset over just that joke then i'm at a complete loss.

No it's all about the joke. Nothing else has happened.
the thread title is literally "colin moriarty is leaving kinda funny games"
that's more than the joke, right?

"Guys, a grown man making a sexist joke is pretty much exactly the same as one made by a group of fictional children from a quarter-century old movie! Wait, you're telling me it's totally different because the Little Rascals one is poking fun at the boys making the group, and Colin's was just a lazy 'women sure do nag a lot, right?' comment? Nevermind!"

Let me rephrase my point:
Why do people insist on explaining and explaining to anybody why the joke's sexist, the connotation of telling sexist jokes on national women's day, the importance it has in the context of everything's doing and the negative impact doing it can have? I'm relatively sure anybody who truly cares that they're informed on the matter can randomly click a page in this 60 page thread, press CTRL + F, type in "joke" or "twitter" and have a 95% chance of getting the answers that they're looking for.
