Why does he wear the mask!?
Totally pointless tweet, I agree. Seems like he does it so he can moan about people not liking it.

He trolls you and you fall for it? Mission accomplished, I guess.
I literally said that I knew that it was a joke so I'm not sure how that means I fell for it? It just seemed like a pointless attack to me.
I see people are subtweeting him because they are afraid of the harassment that they will get from his fans. Kinda Funny has attracted some really toxic fans. It's a shame because when they started it was of the friendliest fanbases I've seen.

99% of his replies are a lurid circle jerk of mad lads and "anti-PC" jackasses who are just repeating variations of "lmao Colin now you're going to get the SJWs angry at you!" And almost no one who is actually getting mad
Such a sad group of people
He's getting some backlash from other gaming personalities in my feed. It's a tasteless joke for sure. I like that he doubled down on it for no reason. Defensive. I should probably just unfollow him now.
That's what we get when Greg and the rest of the crew say nothing. When someone else says something, they pounce. When Colin says something dumb, they pretend it's all in good fun.

I don't know, it's a joke. Doesn't really bother me. I still like Colin.
Who is subtweeting him?
I've haven't seen much push back. Tim wrote that these aren't the fans he wants but I'm not sure what he meant. He left it kind of ambiguous.
I didn't care about the joke itself. It's dumb. It's his RTs and replies he's making that makes him look like an ass.

#ColinWasWrong. I never really paid attention to Colin at all until Kinda Funny and he kind of instantly rubbed me the wrong way with his faux-Libertarinism/diet Tea Party-ishness/diet racism/diet misogyny. I thought I was the only person who thought like this. I'm glad I'm not.
Colin could do pretty much anything and that group of "best friends" would defend him to their death. Scary.

Oh, well, that's OK then.
Probably has contributed to the way he conducts himself and why he thinks he's edgy or whatever. Attracting those type of people and having them tell you you're great will have a rolling effect on you.

Every time I see this thread get bumped I think "Colin must be acting like an entitled douche again" and sure enough, here we are. Though I'm sure the Kinda Funny Klan are holding his nuts for him on Twitter as usual.
I saw Max tweet and couple of others.
"Because not all people are humorless sacks of shit" This is what annoyed me more. So I didn't find the joke and the obvious bait funny that means I'm humorless sacks of shit.
I'm pretty sure most people know that, it's just been done multiple time by now.
"its just a joke I was only pretending to be an asshole"

Austin Walker, Alex Navarro, Arthur and others from Polygon, several freelancers I follow. I have Colin blocked on Twitter and when Arthur started vaguely talking about this without mentioning him by name I was like, "Oh, is Colin being a shithead again?" and of course I was right.

Dave Lang's is the best. Colin is fuck boy personified.
I have no idea if Arthur Gies is commenting on Colin's tweet but it certainly seems like it.
It certainly does
LOL literally was looking at Arthur's tweets as you posted that.

I'm not normally a Gies guy but yeah, he's on the money.

What a fucking tool. I really like Jason Schreier and part of me wants to watch the show where Colin had him on but I don't think I can stand hearing Colin talk for 90 minutes and I don't want to give him a single view if I can help it.

Perhaps. But he obviously enjoys getting everyone riled up with it.
Part of the schtick I guess.

Gies is a bigger dumpster fire than Colin
Alex Navarro and Danielle Riendeau as well.
I like Colin, and I don't think he is being actively malicious or truly means harm, but I'm tired of shit like this. His rants in the podcasts, including the one in today's episode, are becoming annoying.
I don't mind the occasional rant, but he always rants about the exact same things. Hell, I agree with him half the time, if not more, but he seems to be getting more and more ornery as time goes on.
The kind of people he attracts to Kinda Funny aren't helping either.

Colin is Trump and the KF crew are the WH staffers who keep their mouth shut.
Man, what loser gets off on that though?

One guy is an empathy lacking blowhard who blatantly panders to alt-right shitheads and the other guy....has an Xbox bias?
Why, because he's not as good at Doom as you?
So he could go on rant about outrage culture and re-enforce his believes.

"Hey guys, it's MLK day! Black people sure are lazy, amirite?"
"Lol I trolled you, my black friend even laughed."
Pathetic.

I actually like Colin and think this is a really lame thing to get upset about but this is hilarious.

You can't remove the context of the joke from his history of being a complete shithead, and the people who follow him on Twitter being alt right morons.

It's not harmless to perpetuate the stereotype of women being loud, shrill, obnoxious, etc.
Also, the joke is bad, rote, and amateurish. And the fact that he chooses today of all days to tell this joke, when the majority of the men in this industry are choosing to use their voice to promote and thank the women around them, is just fuckery.

It's more than just trolling, he knows he has a big base of neo-nazi (aka alt-right/gamergater) fans and is pandering to them with that tweet too.
Also, checked out his girlfriend's twitter and she is just as bad as him. Women who participated in the general strike abandoned their responsibilities apparently.
