What if someone acknowledges their existence yet refuses to use those pronouns?
Is that person disqualified from discussions?

This is the same dude who said gay people got their rights too quickly and "some good things" came from the holocaust.
Dude is just a trashfire.
If you believe the whole "slippery slope" theory when it comes to platforming Nazi's or making laws against hate speech you really need a lesson in history. If an authoritarian party gains power there's no slippery slope and it doesn't matter what the laws were before then, they'll make whatever laws they want to censer speech.
Jaffe continue to provide evidence that he's a stupid, 'centrist', incompetent hack.

He makes it pretty clear that he doesnt know who or what Milo preaches. He is using him as an example to answer a question in twitch stream on how everyone has the right to freedom of speech in a public forum and mentions any private platform can tell anyone to F-off (he's right).
The only controversial thing he really said is that he would want his kids to attend a college where these morons were talking so they could see dissenting opinions for themselves, no matter how bad, and come to their own conclusions through their critical thinking.
He also uses the example that most folks on the internet read a headline and then like to comment on the author or subject without reading/watching to actually understand their point... this thread being the perfect example.
Also, Fck Milo

Someone should educate Jaffe that this whole democracy thing only works if we do not tolerate the intolerate, as paradox as it sounds.

Then that person is being a bigot and will be called out as such in discussions.
Ah lovely, more reason to hate him.
Fucking christ, "good things" from the holocaust? The mental gymnastics on that piece of shitdrivel...
Jaffe seems like he's got way too much time on his hands on Twitter, like someone jobless and bored. What is he producing right now?
Ugh. Get out of here, Jaffe. I understand youre not really relevant in the gaming space anymore... but trying to get back out there in the public conscious like this?
Pathetic.
Pathetic.
I'm glad Jaffe is out there, speaking out about the injustices towards transphobes and nazis.
These are the people that need a voice in our current society, and to see Jaffe make this his current concern is telling of his great character.
...
No wait, fuck you Jaffe.

Jaffe with the hot take, I mean he is kind of late to the discussion.
Go away, Milo had it coming. Hopefully he is enjoying being broke.

I'm in favor of free speech. I'm also in favor of private institutions saying "no, you're not allowed to speak here" which is basically an equally important right for a free person to say, "no, I'm not going to listen to you" which is not infringing on anyone's right to free speech. It's a free market of ideas if you will, and if your speech is deemed unworthy, you will be mitigated to the fringe margins in which those ideas belong. Jaffe is wrong.
Sure. Is this about Twitter banning him though? What is Jaffe's comment about?
As long as they're allowed to participate in a respectful manner that's a non-issue.
Again, this is not for the Milo types, but to everyone out there who don't share 100% of the left's ideologies yet are arguing in good faith.
The problem with Jaffe's take is that he had a platform to say his thing for several years and it was so toxic that people and companies stopped wanting to host it.
I don't really disagree him with that much. Like with Destiny I'm happy he's done the debates even if that is taken as "giving a platform". I rather have awful views in public so those can be challenged than just spreading underground.
Now of course I also believe that Twitter and the like do have the right to have their own rules and guidelines on what is allowed there. Twitter shutting Milo down isn't a concern to me. Also I'm quite happy with Era moderation and what is allowed, or more not allowed here.

Yup. While not as serious topic as this, the Jaffe Uncharted thread was an example of that too. People have much to learn.

The problem with debating ideas like Nazism is that you're treating the idea like it has merit. It's the same issue with 'debating' climate change. If people are willing to act like Nazism has merit, there is no reason to debate them. There is nothing to debate about genocide.
As far as spreading underground, when you give someone a platform with hundreds of thousands of eyes on them is somehow better? I have never understood this type of logic and yet I do see it quite frequently.
I was going to post this yesterday in another thread. Glad a thread was made, the more he speaks the more he comes off as ridiculous.
Here's some more I found of his.

Jaffe was a God of War director
Was this on twitter? That platform is not built for that sort of discussion. 9/10 it turns out exactly like you describe.
So interesting that Corey Balrog is the antithesis to everything Jaffe stands for and managed to turn Jaffe's franchise into something far beyond what it had any right to be while being a genuinely lovely person while Jaffe flounders like a fish out of water releasing trash bin titles like Drawn to Death and spouting bullshit like this.
All that being said, can't be too surprised that he's so vehemently against deplatorming considering the video game community choosing not to support him and buy his shitty games effectively deplatformed him.

LMAO I remember this. Wasn't this planned for release at some point and never did?Swear to God, I read the title and my first thought was this:
My favorite part is the irony where Milo getting banned on Twitter is literally "free market of ideas" at work. Conservatives, libertarians, and """"""classical liberals"""""" should be pleased that someone shared their views on the free market, the market decided they were shit, and appealed to the powers that be to remove him from the market. That's how their system is supposed to work.
I can see why he is saying this, it can be a slippery slope when we start silencing people and it could end up hurting creators like him. However I think there is a clear difference of society shunning someone's voice and laws doing it. I don't think anyone has to worry until the law starts shutting voices down.
