Anything bad happening to this guy and his shitty fans is good. Says a lot that he wasn't even asked to contribute to IGN Podcast Beyond episode 600.

PAX responds to Colin Moriarty controversy but will "not issue refunds" (PAX West panel cancelled)

You don't pay for a panel, you pay to attend PAX. No refunds necessary IMO.
For me it's pretty simple - I don't want Colin at my event, I realised to my horror he was approved, I cancel it. If anyone who bought tickets to my event wants a refund because they say that they don't want to come now that Colin isn't there, I would happily refund them to show that they are not needed and my event does not need or want their monetary support.
from this it seems like they kinda were indirectly implying things will be changing, but colin being colin just makes the worse of it with that comment to his fan.
Actually, there seems to be an avenue to return your tickets. PAX West partnered with Lyte to handle these situations. Not refund, because that would be a new thing PAX West would have to start doing.
You're buying an event ticket, not a panel ticket. If the event is going ahead there's no grounds for a refund. I haven't been to anything similar that has a different policy, so don't expect special treatment because you're a salty shithead.
When PAX cancels all panels but one, or at least half of them, without giving refunds, I doubt people will be saying "but TOS!"
These TOS are trash then, if you pay for something and don't receive what you want, you should be able to get your money back before this thing starts.

Oh man, I forgot Colin was the "racism doesn't exist because Asians" mastermind lmao.
What a galaxy brain.
It's so funny to me that all the right's "no, these are the smart ones" guys are among the dumbest motherfuckers on the internet

I'm not gonna shed a tear for colin's fans losing a couple hundred bucks or whatever.
But PAX should at least donate a proportional amount to a good cause, otherwise this isn't justifiable at all.

I had some sympathy at first but its depleting as I'm reading these tweets. They made a mess of things by giving him a panel in the first place.

So much insecurity in this thread. Yikes.
Gives me the sense that the person at PAX responsible for cancelling his panel was also some sad Era lurker abusing his power.

Some of the most respected and left leaning Dutch gaming journalists are Colin fans. They definitely aren't nazi.
congrats to the OP for signal boosting his grift, which right now is whining about being censored to increase his patreon revenue.
good job!
good job!
Colin is the type of person who namesearches himself on Twitter so he can find people talking about him, quote tweet them, and send his fans off to harass anyone badmouthing him in a public space. On top of that, he's a racist bastard who has repeatedly preached fascist ideology.
There's no insecurity here. Just common sense. Moriarity is a Nazi, and he deserves this humiliation and more.
"I'm not a racist but" is the *literal* start to your post.
No issues from me. PAX is a private event that many LGBT, minorities, and marginalized groups attend. Not having that show feature someone who deliberately goes out of their way to attack these groups is motherfucking fine with me.
He did and was focusing on history stuff but after initial huge success his patreon dropped in patrons and money dramatically (so much he took off the ability to see his funds) so he started adding games stuff to win people back which sadly seems to have worked.
I have a hard time believing an allegedly "left-leaning" fan of a Nazi isn't at least entertaining fascist ideology.
When you have to invent impossibly hypothetical situations to make a compelling argument, it's probably not much of an argument.
Colin is abusing his power by radicalizing people who enjoy games with his blatant xenophobia, transphobia and misogyny. But okay yeah a person who doesn't want to support that is also abusing their power, sure.
Imagine being more offended at someone being called a Nazi than the fact that the guy is a Nazi.
Ask any person living in the Netherlands and they would laugh at you if you only suggest the idea that this certain journalist is a "Nazi". He's basically the Dutch Greg Miller
They can basically announce whatever they want, lure people into buying tickets and then cancel whatever they made up, because that's how TOS are written. Why defend this even if this is about Moriarty?
It's more to do with a spike since this happened, a lot of the people that supported him initially when he had some "screw you" juice towards KF people could latch onto have come back, now he has that juice again. I imagine it will drop back off down to regular levels once it calms down again.
That's not a satisfactory answer. You said "respected journalists" who are "left-leaning" are huge fans of him. Who are these respected, left-leaning journalists, any why are they such huge fans of a Nazi?
