He should man up and apologize, acknoledge the mistake (hopefully) and try to do better.
Nothing worse than playing stubborn and putting the blame on others.
he actually did respond.. (even directly to one of your posts).
And don't expect more from him (at the moment).. he is probably traveling back to the UK after his E3 visit..
Exactly.The double down is really silly. Like, I'm an Xbox fan and no, I think it's shitty to promote someone with toxic views like the ones on display. Even shittier that he got so ridiculously defensive over the objective fact that "he done goofed."
We have defenders for this shit?
I saw this BEFORE your edit.
I believe that if Mr. Corden takes some time to think about the situation he will see that he could have handled it better.
You see, the funny part about his edit is that it shows he loves being here even though he knows it is against his ideals.I saw this BEFORE your edit.
Don't worry, I am sure your precious personality will cuddle you, letting you know it's ok. (Hint, this motherfucker doesn't know you)
Fuck off.

The lack of self-awareness really is something else.Imagine trying to steer a discussion about homophobia into the direction of some gamer "Sad how nowadays people still prefer a piece of plastic" bullshit.

Jez blames the outrage on people here not liking Xbox and hasn't apologized for promoting toxic gamers
I remember when I first played Minecraft and kept digging a hole until I ended up falling into lava. Funny to hear him say this because digging a hole in Minecraft will only get you burned.
Let's see if he is able to avoid it.
I'm just playing devil's advocate here but most people probably follow this forum not because it's really progressive but because it's the most active videogame forum on the internet.You see, the funny part about his edit is that it shows he loves being here even though he knows it is against his ideals.
Why stay if you don't like the forum?
I'm really surprised to see Jez Corden telling people to follow Dealer Gaming. For those of you who are unaware, Dealer has been one of the most toxic gamers in the community. He literally did a video calling Playstation users F@gs and talking about their mothers. Why in the hell would a well known journalist be promoting this kind of behavior? Even when he's not calling gamers names he's constantly fueling division. And the other guy he's promoting Colt is pretty questionable as well.
Here is just ONE horrible rant from Dealer.
I don't know if he's unaware of the people he's promoting or what. But it's very concerning. If the proof of toxicity is too much, I apologize. I just didn't want to make a claim without providing proof.

Yeah I "get" why they are over here. Still funny.I'm just playing devil's advocate here but most people probably follow this forum not because it's really progressive but because it's the most active videogame forum on the internet.
I replied to him lashing out at era:
This is how he responded
Now:
lmao
Not a good look Jez..
Was hoping the user he said to follow was unknown to the gaming community.. alas, he is pretty widely known for his vile rhetoric.
Edit: Jez, I didn't know that was your opinion of Era. Yikes. Not sure what to think about that. Sounds like fanboy mannerisms from Jez in that regard.
Why people say that so often?
Today we had about 20 Xbox/Phil threads, GP is praised everywhere and they are pleasing the PC community. The E3 was criticized just like Sony's last year. People should stop being so defensive.
after i replied to him last night and asked him to consider an apology, my twitter mentions have been an endless parade of console warrior and gamergate rhetoric nonsense lol

Why do people keep begging for apologies and saying they goofed? He didn't goof up, he didn't make a mistake, he's obviously being himself and putting what he thinks and who he likes on display.
When someone shows you who they really are just believe them.
Is this gonna be like the "Going to Africa. Hope I don't get AIDS " woman case?

Considering he's mentioning Era, I doubt this has really spread anywhere else.I don't know, he keeps digging himself deeper. If he'd just said he didn't know the Dealer guy was a cunt, I think this would have blown over for the most part, but the idiot just kept digging and becoming more and more aggressive in his replies.
Honestly wouldn't surprise me, but who knows. Maybe it's not blowing up that much outside of the forum? I don't know where to look to see what's happening with this story outside of the forum.
I'm sure WC have caught wind of this though.
I'm sure he'll be fired for badmouthing a fringe left-leaning forum that is despised by a large part of the community.
I guess it's really that hard to say "Sorry I signal boosted a fuckhead, didn't know." That would have cleared everything up really nicely, and it seems in line with his values given his commentary both related and unrelated.
Really disappointing to see him spout the "I just wanna play games" rhetoric instead of owning up.
Is it really that bad, or is it just who's most vocal? Surely not.. I hope not.I'm sure he'll be fired for badmouthing a fringe left-leaning forum that is despised by a large part of the community.
Don't get me wrong, i fully agree with ResetEras policies, but look around you, we're the small exception to the edgelord/bigoted masses that make up "gamers".
I really, really want to shout vehemently that being a decent person who occasionally play games can't possibly be the rare exceptions in this community but alas, I really don't have much to back it up and too many cases points to the opposite recently...I'm sure he'll be fired for badmouthing a fringe left-leaning forum that is despised by a large part of the community.

I doubt it. And if something happens, guess who is to blame in his (followers) eyes.I'm sure he'll be fired for badmouthing a fringe left-leaning forum that is despised by a large part of the community.

Seems to be the case.Why do people keep begging for apologies and saying they goofed? He didn't goof up, he didn't make a mistake, he's obviously being himself and putting what he thinks and who he likes on display.
