There is something absolutely perfect about Colin's destiny being becoming the male Tomi Lahren.

I think he would be flattered if Steve Bannon wanted to speak with him. I remember post election him saying things on the Gameovergreggy Show that were basically like, "People say he's a white supremacist but where's the proof. Sure places like NYTimes and Washington Post have reported examples of his racist behavior and statements and interviews with people who know he's a disturbing man, but I don't know who is credible anymore."
He's been falling down the rabbit hole for awhile and it's finally starting to more impact Kinda Funny and their programming in a more noticeable way.
Conservatives want their talking points back. They just want to tone down the absolute crazy, but keep the core message and practice. They want the villainy without the labels.

"Up next on the Moriarty Files, where's my White History Month? Oh that's right, I don't need one because I don't see color. Whose the real racist now?"

It's aggressive because nothing Bob said in anyway prompted a debate. Colin aggressively went after him, immediately proposing that Bob put up 2k of his own money, in a debate that Colin had just made up and then went straight to calling him a coward when Bob didn't reply to an invitation that was completely unwarranted

Bannon: " Hey Donny! I think we found our new Czar of The Cyber!"
(To be fair Glenn Beck apparently loathes Donald Trump now and apparently came around on Obama. It's bizzaro. I guess that whole 1,000 years of darkness not happening changed his view of Obama)

Personally I think the tone of his offer was respectful, and Servo has been subtweeting about how much he hates him for a long time, so I really don't think there was anything wrong with asking the guy to debate. Imagine if you knew someone was talking shit behind your back repeatedly and one time you just go, "Hey, if you think I'm such a jerk, can we talk about why? And if a third party decides that you're right, I'll donate some money to charity."
The guy really could've said no thanks. Is that really unreasonable?
Desires/deserves. Same same.
Allow Glenn to explain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO1timWATHE
Then watch Jon Stewart's Glenn Beck bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU22QEclVQo&t=58s
I'd put them both on a banner, but neither on a bumper sticker.
I see a t-shirt market for both though.
I wouldn't do that because that would be incredibly dumb.
And lord knows I love a debate.
My posting history on GAF is over a decade of a person loving a debate.
But "if you loathe me so much let's have a debate" is such an incredibly dumb non-sequitur that any reasonable person would accept it not being responded to. Of course, that's not how bullies react to someone not wanting to have anything to do with them; bullies escalate the situation and hide behind sycophants, calling folks who are now dealing with hundreds of harassing messages "chicken;" bullies respond by lashing out at anyone who tries to calm down the situation or tries to say they're acting out of line. No, what you did was point to Colin acting like a bully, by referencing a dispute that led to someone still being harassed to this day.

It's like when a guy messages a girl politely and then when she doesn't reply he starts calling her a bitch. The initial contact could be polite but if that quickly spirals into abuse there is a chance that that's what was under the surface all along
Colin could have just left the invitation open and not resorted to saying he has no balls and is a coward. Is *that* really unreasonable?
If Colin can't handle criticism maybe he should rethink his position as a public figure

The only time I (this is Bob) can remember tweeting about Colin before the DEBATE ME fiasco was in 2013-ish when he made a rape joke on Twitter. But it's entirely possible that I tweeted about him at some point in the interim because he's a cartoonishly ignorant public figure who constantly spews intentionally inflammatory things.
And the reason I and most other members of the game press don't @ him directly is because HIS FANBASE HAS SOME OF THE WORST PEOPLE EVER IN IT.

This image makes following up on the past 20 pages worth it alone.
He is... That's why he's positioning himself into an echo chamber by going on Rubin Report and Glenn Beck and muting/blocking anyone who calls him out on Twitter

Exactly.
How the heck did you get a comparison between people dying to colin's jokes from my post Buggery? I mean those aren't even similar things. I even provided a second example with MLK day to emphasize inappropriate jokes especially on certain days.
Whatup Bob. That base is about to broaden exponentially. I hope you guys are ready for this.

The future where Colin is a Breitbart Editor/Contributor seems inevitable now. He's already defended Steve Bannon on the show before. Just drop the pretense already Colin.

He's not alt-right/gamergate, he's just number 1 with the alt-right/gamergate crowd.

He voted for Obama in 2008 though.
Which holds about as much weight as, "I have a black friend so I can't be racist."

Is that Colins version of "Its OK. I have a black friend"
That means a lot to a "nobody" like me who Greg Miller thinks is still trying to break into the game industry
As I said before that's their usual defensive response, they always treat others like nobodies cause only people with thousands of followers are allowed to speak and have a voice.
That wasn't the base that I was talking about, but your take is more positive, and people really should.
There are people on this forum condemning others for who they voted for in this election. It can't go both ways. If it matters who you voted for in the 2016 election, it matters for 2008.
Voting for a lunatic racist bigot who literally doesn't know anything as opposed to a relatively normal smarmy politican means a bit more than that
So what? I'm not one of them.
Plus what you're saying is basically what I said. Voting for Trump in 2016 doesn't mean you're a racist and voting for Obama in 2008 doesn't mean Colin is some kind of super open-minded political savant.
