Honestly, I think firing squad is the only way to go here.
I was talking about them speaking on the matter on KFGD, not the BL3 thing. I only brought up BL3 to ask if they're even having KFGD today as a result of it, or if that event isn't happening until after KFGD.You know they are not going to say anything about it. They are there as hired staff for Gearbox, they are not going to go off script.

WellAfter reading that response from Trending Gamer Of The Year 2015 Greg Miller, for me it firmly put him in Boogie2988 territory. Hope he comes to the realization of why his response was bad.
Nah, you're fine, I could have worded it better. I've been kind of checked out on KF for the past few weeks due to work, so I wasn't sure what their schedule today was.Oh, sorry. Misunderstood what you said. Thought you were talking about the pre-"show" they are doing right now.
This is my problem with this situation for sure. One wrong step and ResetERA's lynch mob comes out in droves. What they said was stupid, but let the punishment fit the fucking crime.
Way too many people here think they're judge, jury and executioner and it's both pathetic and annoying.
He doesn't care, He defended Colin till it basically started affecting his income than dropped him but he never took him to task. I wish he would come to the realization but I don't think he will.After reading that response from Trending Gamer Of The Year 2015 Greg Miller, for me it firmly put him in Boogie2988 territory.

I don't think Greg is a bad guy but I just think that he's done this same type of thing for years now starting back with Colin and this is just par for the course now.I'm Arab-American as well and have been listening to Greg Miller's voice for close to 10 years now and I have never felt that Greg Miller was anything but a genuinely kind and caring individual.
he's not on the show today because he's in LA hosting the borderlands event. today's KFGD hosts are Tim and Whitta. and will go live following the BL3 post show. Can't remember if Greg will be back tomorrow or if it's not till Friday.Is the Borderlanda 3 thing interfering with KFGD today, or is it later in the day? I really hope Greg re-addresses this whole thing on the show today, because he needs to. Andrea needs to as well, but I know better than to expect her to admit that she's in the wrong.
Wtf.
Cool, thanks.he's not on the show today because he's in LA hosting the borderlands event. today's KFGD hosts are Tim and Whitta. and will go live following the BL3 post show. Can't remember if Greg will be back tomorrow or if it's not till Friday.
She isn't ignorant. She called the stuff he says wacky, she follows him on the very platform in which he posts that stuff, she can list off fact about his personal life. You'd have to be the most credulous person ever to think after that that she miraculously managed to not see a single thing that guy has said while doing enough research on him to be able to talk about his personal life off the cusp. Like come on.I don't think your arguments to say it's impossible are very strong. I do still think she could easily be ignorant of the worst things notch has said, but I don't think it's an excuse. If she wasn't ignorant or doubles down though, it's pretty unforgivable to downplay that stuff. I mean, look at the example tweets posted above.
26 pages later lol. Not many threads make it that far. People just love a dog-pile. I've seen it many times on ERA. Most of it isn't even constructive. Mostly amounts to calling them scumbags, nazis, send 'em to the firing squad, etc. It gets pretty damn embarrassing sometimes.I just see a thread of angry people voicing their frustrations at a pretty bad round of statements from two people whose entire job is to be informed and also depend on those viewers/listeners.
Again, I don't think that's a reasonable argument that proves beyond doubt that she was indeed fully aware of the worst things he posted. Following him on twitter doesn't mean she read his entire feed, her having read a headline that said he's a conspiracy theorist and not having read into it is a perfectly reasonable assumption. Again, not an excuse, but that's the assumption I'm choosing to make. If she was fully aware of everything he said and calls it wacky, I agree it's unforgivable. If she was ignorant of it, her handwaving is bad and should be apologized for, and lessons should be learned from it, but it would at least show that she's not a terrible person who legitimately thinks notch's worst tweets are only "wacky".She isn't ignorant.

It's embarrassing that people are calling them out for hand waving noted bigots? Huh....26 pages later lol. Not many threads make it that far. People just love a dog-pile.

I mean, it's a trend. I've seen our community attack people for dozens of pages for horrible reasons. I'm not saying there's no good content in here. And that they don't deserve criticism - they absolutely do. You just can't tell me that this isn't a dog-pile at this point.Congratulations on picking a few random posts, some of them obvious troll posts, and claiming that all 1000+ of them represent the thread.
It's obviously more nuanced than that. Especially when you consider Greg's response.It's embarrassing that people are calling them out for hand waving noted bigots? Huh....

Would you care to point out examples of dogpiling? Actual dogpiling, and not just posters agreeing on a thing that you might not agree on.I mean, it's a trend.

The only embarrassing thing is you constantly coming into threads about actual issues and posting cowardly shit like this without being banned for threadshitting.26 pages later lol.

But not specifically of the posts you picked out, considering the firing squad one was an obvious troll who immediately got banned for posting it.
So your post is disingenuous as hell, and only serving to handwave away the criticism of Greg and Andrea for, let me remind you, essentially handwaving away both notch and PDP's repeated and noted racism/sexism/bigotry. If this is your definition of a dogpile then holding anyone to even the slightest of standards is absolutely fucked.
Good on Greg for responding, even if it didn't totally clear everyone's conscious. No one is perfect, like he said. Having listened to Greg for years, I know without a doubt that he's a good dude. He does not condone hate of any kind. Despite what people got from that episode.
If anything, it feels like he was walking on egg-shells with Andrea in the episode. He was trying to stand his ground, but at the same time, he didn't want to start attacking his friend. I think he should have taken a stand. But I guess I understand why he didn't want to start that fight live on the air.
Exactly 1 post in this thread mentions firing squads, and that member is banned.

I Think Notch is an idiot. Are you saying that if your heterosexual you some how get an easy life? LMAO Are there no straight white homeless people? Or drug addicts? give me a break.
EXACTLY!!!What punishment is this thread delivering?
I just see a thread of angry people voicing their frustrations at a pretty bad round of statements from two people whose entire job is to be informed and also depend on those viewers/listeners.

This is utterly disingenuous. He's saying heterosexuality is the norm and so poses no additional challenge in life. The same cannot be said for other sexualities, hence the celebratory days.I Think Notch is an idiot. Are you saying that if your heterosexual you some how get an easy life? LMAO Are there no straight white homeless people? Or drug addicts? give me a break.

But that is not what he said. I will give you though that we are both inferring meaning from a short statement. So you may be right.I think the poster was suggesting that as far as sexuality goes, by comparison, heterosexual people have an easy life. Which is entirely accurate.

Well I don't blame him for wanting to make money, being a beacon of morality isn't going to pay his bills. He very much knows Notch and Pewdie Pie are scum. He says several times he's bad, he even mentions they covered it in the past.
i remember Greg treating Colin the same way he treated the Andrea bit with Notch.
Giving the person every possible opportunity to walk shit back, multiple openings to do so, and they just keep digging a deeper hole. I mean he kept saying "notch" and "transphobic" in the same sentence multiple times and she just wasn't seeing the rope he was trying to save her with.
The Pewdie Pie shit is inexcusable, I don't even follow anything about him yet I know he leans hard reich Nazi shit
Notch is saying he's proud of being straight in that quote. He changed that to being proud of an easy life. I don't think I missed his mark that far.
"my family disowned me cause I came out as straight"I Think Notch is an idiot. Are you saying that if your heterosexual you some how get an easy life? LMAO Are there no straight white homeless people? Or drug addicts? give me a break.
Forming a thought and voicing it takes real consideration and, most importantly, bravery to show your real face. Be heard in all the anger or frustration or agony of your REAL voice. Hell, i'd be impressed if any of you even made a video blog showing your anger of a thing.
