That's fair, there have been some great Nominees... but yeah
Thank you for participating everyone, but we're gonna go ahead and go with this post for the truth thank you thank you
That's what got him perma banned from the old country during the peak of Gamergate, I saw it with my own eyes, he came to our thread, a spent an entire day making the thread, our conversations, entirely about him and how our negativity and shit towards gamergaters was hurting him and it ended with him basically saying if y'all aren't gonna be nicer to them I guess I'll just kill myself.
He was banned and talking about his behaviour was forbidden for ages.
I don't think he's actually presenting. Just attending, which I figured was a bygone conclusion.
On Twitter, Boogie seems genuinely remorseful for the (as he admits) stupid things he's said and seems eager to learn and grow as a person. People can say stupid shit, regret it, and change. James Gunn did, right?
Yeah so ridiculous, a simple disagreement with a Nazi sympathizer. Someone who is homophobic and racist. What a complex person with a different idea who is simply just wrong and misunderstood. We are such a pack of hyenas, jumping on this poor innocent man who is getting more exposure and spotlight to spew his dumb and genuinely harmful rhetoric.
I don't understand why people except Geoff to do something. Has he ever done anything regarding taking a stand on social issues?
Just because he cares about video games and produces marketing shows for them that doesn't indicate anything about who he is as a person. Has he done anything in the past to show he would care about what people like Boogie are doing?
He isn't an ally because he likes video games and you think he is kinda cool.

He has Photos And vídeos with Major Nelson.

Resetera: everybody is a nazi
Great contribution, why is this even allowed?
Is there some links to this? I'll go look right now. I didn't think he straight out said he was a Nazi, or alt right sympathizer. Or even a racial genocide.
Thanks for giving me reasonable responses.
Are you sure you're looking at the right twitter account? Cause he might say that, but every other day he says some other new stupid shit.
It's not. It's a hyper real version of his true feelings. Before 2014 I used to watch his content, the Vlogs he did talked about the same content and contained the same critiques as the Francis videos, just without the voice and breaking things.
Also Boogie:
"Minorities need to wait for biggots to be ready for them to get rights before they can have them to prevent hate crimes!"
"Anita Sarkeesian's to blame for Heather Hayer's death"
What am I supposed to be seeing here? The occasional anti-Trump RT? That's the qualification for being one of the most progressive people in the industry? That's what counts for being notably "progressive" at all?
And you should follow more than the blandest AAA devs then, I guess.
Thanks for the explanation. I am totally unaware of all this stuff. Even 'gamergate' was a thing i had to look up a couple of months ago.
Dude was talking about how games should be marketed to bigots too or else they are discriminating just a few days ago...
And you really think your post was a great contribution. Oh my god.
people don't "wonder" anything. the gaming community is dominated by bigots. the reason "nobody" takes ERA seriously is because ERA is slightly less tolerant of bigotry than the average gaming website. we all know this.
If you're going to tell that story, you should clarify a bit. He claimed that the whole Gamergate issue was so upsetting that he just couldn't talk about it and it made him want to kill himself.
Then he spend the next few months or so defending Gamergaters and having discussions with him. Apparently it's much better for his mental health while he's siding with misogynists, funny that.
Also, not sure if it's been mentioned so I'll bring this one up. Remember when he was angry that Wizards of the Coast was forcing diversity into the Magic the Gathering community and used that to justify angry regressive that harassed cosplayers? Funny how Mr. Middle is able to take a stance then.
I can give him the benefit of the doubt as he is busy making games and all that shit but he should know better next time.
Geoff has no excuse as people have brought this up to him before.
This one of the biggest problems I see(not as big as actual problems of racism, homophobia, etc.) is that average joes are given super powerful voices when they have absolutely jack shit to say of worth or intelligence. There's no actual authority on anything, everything is fake news, and if you tell your followers something, your opinion means as much or as little as Walter Kronkite, Albert Einstein and Donald Trump. Choose which altar to worship at and who to throw your money towards, it doesn't matter, truth doesn't exist.
I did not watch the particular video, I just saw the thumbnail and I was just mentioning the character. if he did use the francis video to attack his wife, that is not good. However, I have seen videos about him talking about his ex-wife, and he seemed to be fine, so not sure if he is just saving face or what.
Did Youtube pull ads off of him after his stupid "both way" comment? I have never actually blocked him from my feed but after the news broke out Boogie has disappeared from my feed ever since. I actually forgot about his existence and had no idea he lost some weight.
That's the "Boogie Cycle" say something incomprehensibly stupid and then show remorse and repeat
Can confirm. I too witnessed this fuckery.
I'd like to say he's changed, but take a look at his twitter and realize he repeats this bullshit over and over again.
Also, sponsors have dropped him after he condoned abuse or something shitty like that.
I remember when he won the trending gamer award however many years ago and then eventually was able to not only to attend a panel with anita but then sit down and have a conversation with her afterwards.
No idea how he managed to do all that but here we are.

where doesn't he?
gay people need to wait for their rights, otherwise he blames them for what violent nazis do to gay people
MTG creators can't make cards with women and minorities because that makes the nazis harass people
A extreme far right fucker runs over someone with a car? Anita Saarkesian is to blame
Says the we have to find "the middle" when talking about a guy that thinks black people are genetically inferior
where the fuck doesn't he defend nazis?
The problem with Boogie is that he doesn't seem to learn, change, or grow. People have gotten tired of his apologies, especially after he sided with the Jontron stuff and saying good things came out of the holocaust, etc.,
PDP, Sargon of Akkad, Boogie, Keemstar, Logan Paul etc influence way more people than you think. Normalizing this "both sides" behavior to a young generation of people is going to ensure gaming stays in an adolecent state.
Look at how many people rushed to defend PDP when he said "nigger". Hell not even a month later he got an advertising deal with Origin PC.
This industry fails to do the bare minimum. It can't take out it's own trash while using worse like Diversity and Inclusiveness like buzzwords.
Normally, I'd agree with this sentiment. That people can change.
Those tweets Gunn made were made years ago, and probably don't represent his views today.
I sadly can't say the same about Boogie, because he keeps saying stupid shit. It's more believable to me a person changed over a couple of years rather than a single day.
TGA continues to suck. At least youtube exists the day after so I can sate my need to consume as many of the ads shown during the program as possible :rolleyes:
And yet he's being friendly with Boogie, known pile of trash. Also just from a glance at his Twitter nothing on there makes him seem like one of the most progressive people in the industry. Even if you're limiting yourself to the Triple AAA space I wouldn't agree when you've got developers like Machine Games.
Man went out of his way to defend JonTron right after he said black people were inferior. That's all the evidence you need.
Don't know why anyone would take Boogie's word that he regrets saying these kinds of things and has changed, when he just keeps saying these kinds of things and doesn't change.
This is when I decided that he's hopelessly irredeemable.
In the context of Alex Jones getting banned from various places.
Alex Jones has amongst other things slandered and harassed families of school shooting survivors. Boogie apparently thinks he has the right to do so.
As far as I'm aware he is only invited to sit in the audience, but this is still bad and disappointing.

Apologies if already asked and explained I'm just now catching up with this thread but what did Danny O'Dwyer do. Wasn't that guy all over Colin for tweeting dumbshit surely he didn't do anything dumb now did he
User Banned (1 week): trolling, defending bigotry
Boogie is fine. He's not perfect but on most cases he's on your side, Era. He has many of the same ideals as the hivemind here, he just disagrees on how to achieve those ideals.
Stop calling him a piece of shit for not wanting to blatantly vilify others (what you call "choosing a side"). All I see in this thread is bullying. He hasn't said a single thing that is actually racist or homophobic from all the examples I've seen, people here are just hating on him because he chooses not to hate others no matter what their opinions are and believes in working with people on a personal level over time rather than shouting at their faces forcing them to comply with his ideals.
Boogie believes in the human spirit and has empathy for the human condition. We could all learn from him.

What happened Keighly? Have you finally gotten TGA's main stream enough you no longer have to care about how bad things look anymore?
Literally can no longer tell if posts like this are satire or not.

Please show me the first one, because I have strong suspicions that you've intentionally warped what he is saying.
As for the H3H3 interview, the way he said what he said is pretty dumb, but I'm pretty damn certain that if you listen to the entire context of what he's saying, he is getting at the point that the louder one extreme gets the more reactionary the other side is going to become. Which has often times been true. I think Boogie framed it very stupidly, but making a stupid gaf isn't a crime nor does it necessarily make you a shit person.
Honestly, I doubt he'll give a comment... but what happens if Geoff Keighley agrees with Boogie or continues to not address it.
Does he get banned from era?
Boogie is the Joe Rogan brand of idiot that somehow always access to plausible deniablity about how ignorant they are
