alright, let's bring this back to Giant Bomb and not some dumb argument about being offended from some YouTube kid. If you are offended, don't watch it. I'm sick of this overracting and being offended by everything culture. Just don't watch it. Plain and simple. Most of the time is people saying it to get a rise out of you, and if they do mean what they say, they aren't really worth your time and you are just wasting it on them anyways.
Giant Bomb!!!
Firstly, lumping everything into an "offended by everything culture" is a good way to look offended by even the presence of the conversation. Different issues around different particular people and the shit they pull or don't pull are their own thing. It isn't your or anyone else's place to tell people how much of a shit to give about anything.
Secondly, if anyone takes any issue with anything, step one shouldn't be to disengage entirely. That how you end up getting called a snowflake who can't handle shit. Calling out bullshit as you see it and taking those conversations as they come certainly seems a lot more productive than doing nothing at all and finding "comfort zone only" content.
Thirdly, this can be applied specifically and put creators in a new light. Crowbcat's No Man's Sky video is maybe one of the best takedowns of anything I've ever seen on youtube, but you bet your ass I was sideeyeing their E3 video with the racist shit and weird blast of the charity stuff at EA. I would absolutely want more of the former video and less of the latter, and I don't see what's wrong in calling that out.
Fourthly, JonTron's proof that it isn't necessarily all for a rise. Dude's jokes over the years turned out to be genuine fuckery, and the saddest thing was the fencesitting from other online personalities who were more afraid about pissing off a shared fanbase than calling out bigotry in the community they shared. Events like that and Gamergate really need to be addressed, not ignored. No real life community shuts its eyes so hard to the bullshit that permeates it than the broad gaming sphere does online, and that while that seems to be changing, the pace is glacial.
Fifthly, I made you a version of your avatar without jaggies because it was setting me off whenever I saw it. Feel free to use it or not, it's cool!
Finally, this is the most offensive thing of all:
GIANT BOMB WEST
KINGDOM HEARTS
Goddammit Ben.
I hope this is a weird stilted series story refresher before KHIII because I hear that's a fucking nightmare.
