TheQuartering is the last person who should be calling someone else "sweaty and moronic"
Omg lol! I think the second best part about reading this has been that I haven't seen this dude appear on my feed. My Youtube blocks must finally be working, for now.
Fuck white supremecists indeed.
Respect to Tim Schafer for taking this moment to stand with us.
having had the unpleasure to watch the dudes vid and his "issues" about apex character genders: fuck this sexist piece of garbage
I fucking hate that you have to stand up and make statements like that in 2019. Also, a super duper fuck you to anyone who was upset by said statement.
The refusal of the games industry to tell off gamergate and their shitheels directly shows that despite all work into making video games more diverse and less open to jerks, that they won't deal with the root of their issues in the first place to sell a few more copies of their games. What Tim said is what EA, Blizzard, and especially THQn should say, and had said years ago.
Because there are a lot of white supremacists and people who (willingly or not) defend white supremacy in the gaming community. It should be an obvious statement, but it's already very easy to find tons of angry gamers complaining about his statement if you step outside of ERA.
I imagine they're pissed Tim Schafer just told them to fuck off.
Because the industry typically condones bigotry and it's nice to see someone from within speak up against it.
Because the president of his country along with many elected officials can't even have the guts to say it.
WHO THE FUCK is Aaron. And how the fuck do you dare to write such a thing. Really now?
Aaron is just one of many many random people on twitter, with views like that.
I think just someone that responded go him, nobody well-known or anything.
Oh ok. Schafer's response was perfect. Have some basic human decency, jesus.
Tim is great, as are a lot of the people who work at DF in my experience.
Would love to see more people in the industry take a stand like this.

Because the gaming industry and a big portion of the gaming community as a whole too often fails to call these nitwit shitstains of humanity out for their shittiness. The Sonys and Nintendos and EAs stayed quiet when GamerGate was at its worst & even did harmful things that pandered to that audience. No one in the gaming industry has taken any kind of stance against THQ Nordic for pandering to a forum of child porn spreading racist shitgibbons. Silence is too often the answer from this industry.
I have my issues with Schafer but this is a great message. Props to him for saying this when other white men shy away.
You know the previous game forum a lot of us came from? It now lets ethno-nationalists rant about immigration and how people should "stay in their own country"?
Fucking hell, this is amazing. Didn't think it was possible to like him more than I did.
It's more that he said it in such an eloquent, rational way in a place where people often either say nothing, or take it to extremes. This level-headed approach is the only way to efficiently tackle these issues.

Good job on Tim.
For making people feel more welcome.
For denouncing white supremacists.
For calling out companies that want to cater to them.
The fact that this all is relevant is a sad reality. Nothing about it should be controversial.

he's taking a stand that should be obvious, but that so many companies and public figures seem to be afraid to take publicly, as they don't want to alienate the utter cunts who would be alienated by statements like these
Yep, very sad that someone would feel like they need to say this type of thing.
But people need to say this type of thing. So good on him.
