I say thing like that all the time as a joke, when my wife and daughter go out somewhere. And I love both of them, but I also enjoy peace and quite when they leave for an hour.I'm not arguing that you should find this tweet offensive.
I'm stating that the tweet is inarguably sexist. Especially given the context of it's posting.
What argument do you have that the tweet is not sexist?
wtf is wrong with that? I'm sorry, but I don't see anything sexist about this tweet. People got way to sensitive.
wait, is this the tweet people have been freaking out about?
Jesus, talk about hyperbole
It's tagged in the tweet though. Also the worst part of that whole tweet fiasco was his reaction to the backlash. If he had apologized things would be different, but he had to double down like he always does and play the victim.Maybe he doesn't realize March 8 was National Women's Day? That's the only thing I can think of.
Colin was an excellent games commentator and historian. I always enjoyed hearing (but rarely, if ever, agreed with) his political views as a sort of side note in things like Conversations with Colin, Colin Was Right, etc.
But once these two things started colliding and he started holding himself out as some savior of free speech and "creativity" in games because he was brave enough to say white men can have opinions too, I couldn't stand him. Like many have said on this thread, he was always advocating for free speech, listening to different opinions, and having "civil" (my god how I hate how people use that word) conversations about politics, but never hesitated to drag anyone who had the gall to express dissatisfaction with representation in video games or dare to venture into the realm of identity politics (see the most recent episode of PS I Love You, where he spends half the time yelling about how stupid and childish a Native woman is for starting a conversation around the use of certain historically oppressive words in Horizon: Zero Dawn).
The first video game podcast I ever listened to was the Podcast Beyond episode recorded after their first live show (back when it was Greg, Colin, and Ryan). I remember Colin talking about how humbled he was by all of these strangers being so happy to see him in person. Now Colin goes on the Rubin Report and Glenn Beck. Now he spends time on his podcast (albeit humorously) discussing whether he is one of the most famous people to come from Long Island. Colin Was Right used to be a self-deprecating inside joke, but now it's turned into a single-minded worldview.
I'll miss hearing Colin's commentary on everything Playstation, his interest in the history of games, and his chemistry with Greg. I'll even miss his obsession with sales numbers and general know-it-all attitude relating to video game industry business decisions. I won't miss his negativity and constant crying over the opinions of "PC Police" or "SJWs." I'm sad that Colin is gone, but I'm happy to see him leave.
I know. Resigning from your job just because people said mean things on the internet seems like a total overreaction. Why so sensitive?
You make it sound as if this kind of thing came out of nowhere. The reason why this happened is because Colin made many crass and unsympathetic comments and did not apologize for any of it, even when he was clearly in the wrong.
"serious" question.Serious question but would people get as much offended if women would make such a joke on international mens day?
Kinda doubt it.
Some of you guys are assholes

It's not just that one tweet, also take a look at his reaction to the criticism he got over that tweet. He has no respect for the portion of the fanbase that doesn't agree with him 100%.I say thing like that all the time as a joke, when my wife and daughter go out somewhere.

Wtf people!!! I know I'm out of my league here, since people here hate Colin, so you can continue with crucifying him.

It was a joke, people need to chill out.

Sexism is an entirely different matter. Getting harassed sexually from neckbeards and co. is obviously tough but it is completely different from having actual intellectuals bombard you and try to completely ruin your name or cause people to turn on you.

Is this a reference to the fact that Colin sometimes posts here?

Name name's
"international men's day"
Does it fall during White History Month?
Everyone can hear your dog whistle. Fuck outta here.
People watch Tomi Lehren and she's incredibly stupid and uninformed. Colin has his cult of followers that will follow him into hell. You don't have to actually know about politics or have reasonable political takes to be a political pundit these days. Hell you don't actually have to know about politics to be President. What a time to be alive.
The ironic thing is that if he goes in this direction, all he will be doing is creating that echo chamber he claims to hate so much.
Maybe he doesn't realize March 8 was National Women's Day? That's the only thing I can think of.

Are you worried about Colin getting his feelings hurt? If he can dish it out, surely he can take it, right?Some of you guys are assholes
maybe this argument would hold water if we actually lived in a society with full gender equality.Serious question but would people get as much offended if women would make such a joke on international mens day?
Kinda doubt it.
I don't think he accidentally used the protest's hashtag on the day it was occurring

No, because men aren't an oppressed group in society. Also every day is 'International Men's Day', and has been for basically all of human civilization. It's called Patriarchy.Serious question but would people get as much offended if women would make such a joke on international mens day?
Kinda doubt it.
