I'll also add how much better KF is without him. They've done an amazing job of refining their content. Even my gf who doesn't like video games watches with me and loves Greg. It's great.

He is book smart. He is a an intelligent person who probably did very well in school, is a quick learner and all that. But he is not wise. He seems to draw the wrong conclusions to a lot of things and oddly tries to make things too black and white.

Like this for example. Because minority group A has seen success in America at times greater than white people that means that systematic racism doesn't exist. But that is too cut and dry.

For an example its like when those people argued that "New York saw one of the biggest snowfalls it has ever seen, therefore how the hell can global warming exist" (I think it was New York). All it demonstrates is that he is very good at learning facts and knowing things but his use of that info is awful.
 
He is not extremely smart.

He can project intelligence but being intelligent and convincing people you're intelligent are two vastly different skills.

At most he seems to have good business sense.

He's a very strange man. I never really listened to Beyond much, but I enjoyed most of his and Gregs content on IGN. I was in at the ground level for Kinda Funny and loved it at first, but little by little Colin just wore away my enthusiasm to the point where I was just pressing the 'skip 15s' button every time he started a rant (which was a lot). His comments on GAF were shocking and then he just start outright lying about things. He clearly employs some impressive mental gymnastics to convince himself that he's never wrong, all while trying to give off the impression that he's patient and considers all sides of an argument.



Have they recovered from this? I'm assuming they have not as I have noticed a lot more ads in their content nowadays. They really deserve to be doing better than when Colin was there, the new format is fantastic and they don't have him dragging down the conversation with his overly negative regurgitated comments.

Colin is THE reason I stopped following Kinda Funny on everything. Which is funny because at the time I unsubscribed from everything, he LOVED to say "If you don't like us, stop following us". Done. Colin was just too much to bear. I like his insight for video games usually, but he became too unhinged on everything else.

Colin was holding them back in the most clear way possible. He just hasn't been passionate about video games for a long while, i'm very glad he turn his piece of shit persona loose.
 
I used to follow him on Facebook right after he left KindaFunny, but he has increasingly gone off the deep end to feed his fanbase red meat. So that was enough of that.

Also, he's literally conflating "white supremacy" (an ideology) with "racism" (something anybody can exhibit) with "systemic racism in America" (white privilege) all as one giant idea. It's not surprising that someone with so little regard for accurate vocabulary on this topic would also shrug off the entire thing as meaningless.

It's also idiotic for him to say the left is "identity-obsessed" when the right has had a monopoly on identity politics (aka "religious" "patriotic" white supremacy) for hundreds of years. The left was counteracting against the right by creating their own form of identity politics. Not saying that two wrongs make a right, but the right and racists started this mess, not minorities.

He also seemingly tried to walk back his stupid tweets in the comments with "well I never said black people didn't experience systemic racism." Which means he basically has no idea what he actually believes because he's barely thought about it beyond "fight that leftist opinion!" I'm glad to see that the large majority of the comments are pushing back on his dumbassery. Not that he'll apologize, because #freespeech.

He's not, he can sit in front of a camera and say trash without cracking up or shitting himself. That's just baseline level presentation skills. Nothing special or intelligent, just garden variety speaking.

This is an apt description and explains why some of us can see him in a positive light sometimes only to be baffled by future conclusions and statements he makes

Maybe he has some sort of mental issue plaguing his ability to be reasonable at all times?
 
I'm really confused by people's reaction to this, and it even being posted here.

There are many people on the far left who believe that, in modern times, there is a systematic white supremacy, which, by definition, detriments all other races.

Colin argued against this. He didn't say that racism doesn't exist (which is especially clear after clarification on Reddit). He said that the kind of widespread, systematic racism people on the far left believe to exist in America doesn't exist. Can we not see the difference between widespread, systematic white supremacy and racism in its entirety? Surely people on here are smart enough to makr that distinction, I think a lot of people in this thread just don't want to.

The thing is he argues against far left ideas almost every single day on Twitter? Why is this being posted here? Because if we frame a post properly with a biased thread title it can kind of seem like this guy thinks racism doesn't exist at all and we can pull out our pitchforks, lit with ego flames?

A lot of the animosity towards Colin is just unfounded.

He's shoehorns that data he can into his world view, and just tosses out that which he can not.

Here he believes in the Ayn Rand nonsense of the singular made man and bootstraps, so he's pointing to Asians, the Irish, and others as proof that blacks are just lazy.

Doesn't matter that's there's data out there of the effects of removing hundreds of years of equity that they never we're able to build upon like others. Nor the issues with Jim Crow and discrimination such as red lining in both the north and south.

Nope. Lazy people are poor. So poor back people are lazy. Circular arguments, yay.

You've gotta be pretty fucking ignorant to apply a one glove fits all to systemic racism. One look in the history books would tell you that.

Read the thread and you'll also see evidence showing this opinion of his is laughable too.

Maybe it is. But you have just admitted that he is arguing against the existence of systemic racism, not racism entirely, which is what the thread title says in an attempt to create some sort of childish dogpiling on this guy.

White Supremacy/Racism is literally what Colin calls it in his tweet.
 
Quick reminder that his posts are classic far right dog whistling.

It's not an argument of any kind. It's also not him being dense. It's supposed to speak to a very specific kind of audience, while everyone else argues semantics.

Like, don't fall for this shit. This man is scum, who knows exactly who he's courting.

The left talks about systemic white privilege or systemic racism, not systemic white supremacy. Not sure how you're going to claim the know the definitions of words you're not even using correctly. Both you and Colin are skeptical of topics that you've only come to understand through conservative counterarguments. How surprising. Hint: this is a bad way to try to get an honest understanding of a topic.

Almost all of the animosity towards Colin is founded 100% of the time.

Edit: I see your post history involves a whole lot of stanning for Colin so I'm not shocked that even with the level of stupidity here you're still going to bat for him.
 
Was anyone else shown a video in elementary school explaining why seemingly positive stereotypes are still bad? Or was that just me?

For someone who thinks he's so smart Colin sure doesn't understand some basic shit.
 
Why is he even bringing this up when the discussion is clearly framed on Black People right now.


Is this really the time to examine how racism affects each ethnicity individually?

Yes I know, that is a little shaky and worried me too. But it's Twitter so we should remember that you can't word things the way you really should. Or maybe he made a mistake by phrasing it that way. Whatever the case, he gave further clarification on Twitter and Reddit that was not talking about the existence of racism in general being disproved by Asian American success. Surely you are not holding Colin to the same standard you would someone else if you don't see that.

"You worded your Tweet in such a way that it if interpreted in this way you are a racist idiot!" isn't good enough for me, he clarified what he meant. It's not the best argument, it's not his most shining moment of intellectualism, but it's not what the people jumping in the thread and insulting him thought it was as baited by the thread title. That's just the way I see it.

He literally said "Asian Americans blow the entire White Supremacy/Racism bit to smithereens". That was him, verbatim. Not the OP, not anyone in this thread.

He went on to say "Compared to whites, Asian Americans are better educated, make more money, live in more affluent areas, and live longer. Where's the racism!?". Note that he didn't say "systemic racism". Note that he didn't say "institutionalized racism".

The man is being fairly judged by what he originally said, not his half-assed, dismissive, arrogant non-explanation on reddit. What he said on reddit to try to backtrack is irrelevant. He couldn't have been clearer in his original Twitter post.

oh, so what he's saying is that all minorities other than asians only have themselves to blame for whatever befalls them during their lives because according to him asians are doing better than whites.
 
Finding out the fact that Colin had to hide his Patreon monthly income in what I imagine to be embarrassment just made my day.

Nah dude. Colin brought home a stinky old racist cat turd he found in the sandbox and said "I made this" so people are A) mad that he brought a smelly turd in the house and B) laughing at what a very special boy he thinks he is.
