1. Stop being a monster and using two spaces between sentences!
2. Plenty of people on Twitter do not like Boogie. Trying to paint ERA as irrational because they don't appreciate the type of milquetoast platitudes that Boogie expresses is silly.
not really, it's because hes racist, sexist and homophobic. He said things like "gays got their rights too early", "something good come from the holocaust", or "Charlotesville was Anita's fault". He's also tend to side with agressors in cases of sexism or racism like that MtG thing.
Somebody who repeatedly gave problematic people awards and now calls somebody who has nazist views a friend and publicly invites him getting criticized is completely fair. Unless you're fine with something like that, I guess.
The issue is in part because he entertains the premise of that sort of nationally-implemented racism at face value. Even putting aside a massive backlog of individual instances on his social media, he's produced full-length videos in defense of people literally criticizing genetic mingling of the races, for the sake of genetic purity of the white race.
That is choosing a side. If someone is so "un-discerning" that they produce content to support those lobbying to change laws to create an ethno-state to enshrine white power over inferior races, I don't know what to tell you. This all happened, in no uncertain terms.
Well there was this other guy who doesn't like women or something
OP
OP
you forgot the /s
Or are you willfully ignoring everything in this thread?
He can still watch it from his home. No need to invite him.
Pretty much my reaction. I'm willing to bet much more reprehensible people will be in attendance.
I'm serious.
Geoff is cordial to Boogie, who is clearly a fucking moron and too cowardly to take any stance on anything except being moronicly centrist by refusing to condemn easily condemned ideas and actions, so now Geoff is by association guilty of being friendly to centrism bordering on alt-rightism... so should viewers be held responsible for continuing to support an organization that is guilty by association?
lol, never! (idk, I learned to type in the early 90s and it's how I was always taught.)

When the mob decides....the mob decides. Pretty stupid if you ask me.
Welcome to Era! Care to elaborate on that? What are your thoughts on some of the things Boogie has said that have brought up in this thread?
He does but unsure when he last used it. Back when GoW was coming out he did come and hangout in the review thread. It was pretty cool.
That's a different topic. Please first explain how his Holocaust opinion is milquetoast bland.
(I don't know if he still holds the opinion that is brought up in the thread I linked to or if that was possibly a misrepresentation.)

I mean he's not hosting but he's gonna be there and might be shown by the cameras so it's still bad
Blamed Wizard and diversity for a prominent player getting banned for aggressive sexual harassment
Said there was good things that came from the Holocaust
Partially blamed Anita Sarkeesian for Charlottesville
Said same sex marriage came too soon.
Said the best thing about JonTron coming out as a white Nationalist is folks can meet in the middle and learn from him.
Whines constantly about forced diversity and social agendas in games and games journalism.
Defended Gamergate to the point where in the old country he threatened to kill himself if we didn't start being nicer to gamergaters.
yes because fat jokes are the same as racism, sexism and homophobia, boogie.
OOF
Why does he have this way of tweeting like he is the ONE guy that is better than anyone else and knows it all?
Not only is this stupid but it's REALLY telling how his idea of a far left figure is someone in the videogame industry (that should tell you all you need to know about his political knowledge) who isn't even a far left democrat let alone a socialist or antifa. Idiot, idiot, idiot. Woman makes videos on feminisn and sexualization of women in my male dominated industry = FAR LEEEEEEFT
Okay, but that doesn't address my actual question. You seem determined to not just refuse to support Boogie (which is totally fine) - but also refuse to support anyone who merely follows him on Twitter, or maintains a professional relationship with him. So what's your exact rule regarding these secondhand associations?
Look on the bright side though guys. PDP isn't invited. It would be harder to justify that one.
I mean even fat jokes should be out of the question unless its someone being self deprecating - then it's funny.
Same with all of those other categories. If you aren't a member of said group it really is the easiest and cheapest comedy, rarely funny.
Wow, I need to spend more time reading Era. I didn't realise we now hate Boogie and David Jaffe.
Is CliffyB still cool?

Fuck people who are cool with white supremacists and misogynistic homophobes, yeah.
Boogie is a spineless toad who knows how to play to certain audiences to get praise from them for sharing their same small minded thoughts and opinions.
People have been turning a blind eye to Geoff and The Game Awards for far too long. It's a platform that has in some way celebrated as beacons of the industry Totalbiscuit, Boogie, Dr Disrespect and ninja despite their defence of a hate movement *2, racism and sexism respectively while never once expressing any sort of comment of regret or distancing.
Well good. It doesn't matter how popular he is, when you bring someone to your show who believes that Alex Jones deserves a platform just as much as CNN then you're killing the professionalism of your work. Geoff wants a professional awards show and bringing in people like Boogie undermine that.
There is criticism to be had about Boogie. He's said extremely problematic things. But's let's not exaggerate anymore than we need to. I see people in this thread acting like he murdered someone jfc.
Was wondering if I should watch this instead of grinding some more on Warframe tonight. Guess I'm going to be mining, fishing, hoverboarding and hunting for plushies tonight and just keeping an eye on the news via Kotaku and Era. No need to give my viewership to support this.
Fuck Boogie, and I'm extremely disappointed Geoff Keighley keeps giving him more of a spotlight to spread his shit.
User Banned (Permanent): downplaying bigotry, history of similar infractions
I, personally, find that to be quite milquetoast bland. It shows he is scared of conflict involving anyone. He doesn't want violence despite the fact that violence is unfortunately sometimes required, or just a possible outcome that people involved are aware of.
Anyways, Boogie would be a better person if he got off social media. He never will, unfortunately.
Anyone supporting boogie should be made aware of how shitty he is. They don't get a past for associating with shit.
