Well that's what I thought but since when is Colin an alt-right scumbag?

Google some of the content he's done since he went solo. He became a political commentator that basically sides with alt-right views. Saying things like 'racism and white supremacy don't exist because Asian-Americans don't get the same treatment', 'picking sides regarding Charlottesville isn't the answer, we need to come together' etc.

What happened to Matt and Bozon? Do they have twitter, facebook or a blog?

Both went to Apple App Store Editorial, I think they're still there.

I don't think I really know anyone at IGN anymore. Alannah and Marty were about it.

Christ, I'm getting up there.

Anyways, I'd thought he got in trouble about a year ago for some inappropriate behavior, but maybe that was someone else at IGN?

You like his takes? Like this one: "Asian Americans blow the entire White Supremacy/Racism bit to smithereens. Expect the fringe left to chase 'em hard over the next few years."??

Colin of "tax immigrants but never let them become citizens" and "Forbid kids of immigrants born in the US from becoming citizens" fame? Fucking Nazi scum that guy

For what it's worth:

This does not seem reasonable if the guy runs a patreon. People have every right to know if they are supporting someone they find distasteful

Typical gamerbro talk like both sides and racism not being a thing because asians are not discriminated as harshly against as black people and so on. Points that align with the alt right.

That's not really alt right. Having stupid views and saying shitty things does make one alt-right. Don't like the guy, but he is not alt-right. We need to stop throwing this word around. It's pretty much a head in the sand way to just shut down anything we don't like too often these days.

Guy is a bit of a moron with many things, but a Nazi he is not. Full stop.

Colin? I personally liked colins take on things. Greg is unbearable.
Not as unbearable as have no self awareness "oh woe me" victim complex moroniarty who this week again managed to have another shockingly stupid take on the gunn situation and somehow in all his intellectual honesty missed the fact that gunn apologized reflected and bettered himself unlike his own pompous ass who triples down on douchery every few weeks.

Also hey I think he is a banned topic around here.

So no free speech on a forum cause its digital and not face to face. Got it.
Go into a restaurant be an asshole there and see if you get thrown out and plead free speech.
Good luck sir xD.
Again not shocking that his demographic never manages to gather enough braincells to actually research and learn what free speech actually is and isn't.

But bro I'm feeling very kind today so I'll give you the wikipedia TLDR that will skip over certain nuances:
Free speech only protects you from the government it has never extended to private establishments/business and how they'll deal with your ass for being verbally stupid.

No, he's not. Stop it. And honestly, this is getting offensive. I hope you're Jewish, because to me - as someone who is both a minority and has Jewish blood in me - I find it offensive how that word is getting used way too much in this country right now.

Richard Spencer is a white supremacist neo nazi. Colin is not. Stop it. He is just a dingus. May as well call Joe Rogan a nazi too.

Is Greg still following that alt-right scumbag who used him as a stepping stool to getting internet famous?
If you are talking about Colin, they aren't on speaking terms.

Saw a video from Colin recently here he said his friend convinced him to try and reach out to Gregg because you never know what will happen and Colin said he never got anything back so that's it between them.

Don't blame Gregg, Colin shit all over the team with how he responded (and didn't) to his sexist tweet situation.

I understand what you're saying (...kiiiiind of), but someone who shouts "Racism against black and Asian people? Where?!?!" needs to be labeled a little harsher than "dingus."

This forum has a strong "No Nazi defense " rule. I suggest stop trying to defend Nazis, stop derailing the thread and move on. I'm not gonna engage anymore, not defending Nazis is pretty much baseline and CM is banned from the forum for a reason

I'm 95% sure something went down with Marty and IGN, I doubt we'll ever hear about it though.

Yes... this is not the public. This is a forum owned and operated by a set group of people who can decide if something is not allowed.

Shocking.

Then this place is no better than the last one. We're not talking about making bombs, were talking about a person who someone asked about. Jesus Christ, the mob is out. Everyone take cover.

At worst Colin is an asshole. Racist? Sexist? I don't think so. But that's off topic so I don't want to get into it. You're right, people throw around words like Nazi too often.

We're talking about a person with a extremely toxic following. So by eliminated that person from discourse it makes this place less attractive to his following.
Good decision.

It a result of the right rebranding themselves over and over white nationalists, alt right, etc all to escape the racist label. So at some point people really just stopped giving a shit making the distinction and went for nazi.

And who can blame them when you look how terms like SJW have been twisted.

I have no idea what happened so I won't even try and speculate, but the only part I find really odd is that a bunch of his coworkers and industry people unfollowed him on Twitter. That doesn't seem like it would happen if this was a totally cordial goodbye, but who knows.

smh no matter what happens in an IGN thread, it always comes back to Colin. Way to stay on topic.

Best of luck to Marty. Idk what happened, maybe one day we'll hear the full story. As of right now speculating on stuff like this isn't helpful, it can only be detrimental.

Dont bother. Youre wasting your god damn time with him.
Yeah it's a great hill to die on to make the very meaningful defense that people for god's sake should make the important distinction between a nazi and a racists.
Cause actually you know when we look at the strict definition of the word nazi we see that it only refers to (wikipedia link).
Fucking lmao.

I feel like I've seen the word "nazi" used in this thread more times than I heard it when I visited Auschwitz.

Some of y'all are fucking shameful with the use of that word. If you're using it to describe anyone with right-wing tendencies, It's goddamned disgraceful.
