As far as I know at one point they had to chose between paying the healt insurance (All the cancer treatment and such) and taxes. I think that it's s understandable that they (His wife actually) choosed the first option. This is more an usa problem than anything else.
A true veteran of the posting wars, John Bain bravely defended against the subhuman 30FPS hordes. Wait. Some PC games... are still 30FPS!? NOOOOOOOoooooo
Then you didn't follow him on twitter, because that's where he became the first mainstream voice to disseminate GG slander against Zoe Quinn.
Yahtzee has made multiple Let's Play videos with Ian Miles Cheong and was one of the few content creators to stay on The Escapist after many of its staff left over its pro-Gamergate stance. His views are pretty clear.
Thirty frames per second, why, that's practically a slideshow! I won't settle for this, no sir!
With Ian Miles?! The dumbest guy on the internet?? Dang.
Others have provided examples. But, in general (at least up until I couldn't stand him anymore), his game and even gaming news related videos were generally pretty good. There were occasional bits of "Hmm, that could be interpreted shittily" but it was background noise.
When was this? Ian Miles Cheong was staunchly anti-Gamergate at an early point. I actually didn't see him flip, so it was weird when just suddenly everyone who was shitting on him before was praising him and vice-versa.
I wonder when the ants started eating away at his brain.When was this? Ian Miles Cheong was staunchly anti-Gamergate at an early point. I actually didn't see him flip, so it was weird when just suddenly everyone who was shitting on him before was praising him and vice-versa.
Wasn't he asked about Gamergate years later and said "it was the worst thing to happen to games (fair enough), not because of the harassment of Zoe Quinn and other women in the industry but because of the slander against gamers (fucking yikes)"?
The guy was making millions and paying out of pocket for unproven experimental cancer treatments, he did not have a legitimate problem paying his taxes. They seeming couldn't be bothered to find someone competent to handle their finances/taxes while going on a spending spree, and then when they discovered how deep they were in they just stuck their head in the sand and kept going until he died. Then his wife begged his fans for a bailout.
That's terrible. Now I feel bad about saying anything nice about him. Fuck him
His view were his work, he used his platform to support a hate movement.
Can you point to where he apologized for his abhorrent behavior?
It's an analogy about being respectful of dead people. I don't think anyone was actually saying TB is comparable to Hitler.
Did he?
Uh the racist, fuck the poor and doxing chick, should i care now? Since this thread is basically about digging dirt
The what now?
Are you trying to say that support of GG isn't absolutely terrible? And why the quotes around toxicity?
I remember that, it really meant a lot coming from Vinny especially considering the timing.
I don't know that I agree with some of the harshest statements against him, but plenty don't take kindly to someone promoting a hate movement that hurt lots of people. He was supremely talented and did good for some people, and was good for gamers' consumer rights, but the GamerGate shit overshadows a lot of that. That movement hurt lots of people in a short ammount of time, doing far more damage than any of the consumer rights/ethics problems he went after. Get out of your bubble and look at the real world.
