One thing I always thought was interesting is that often NHL video games have box arts with different athletes for the cover depending on the country. I think its the same for Fifa?

I'm sorry, but this is a weakass response. The "banning him would just be sweeping it under the rug" bit in particular is some bull. Just making an OT that will be hidden away in hangouts is sweeping it under the rug because it won't have the consistent voicing of concern regarding the shit he's said because it will just become nothing but Dunkey fans. Regardless of what you say the intent is, this absolutely will become a safe space for Dunkey fans to ignore the problematic things he's said.
Saying "oh, we want people to talk about the things he's said" is bull, you guys know exactly what you're doing.
I'm not convinced either, Dunkey's bigotry wouldn't be swept under the rug since anyone attempting to bring him up would have to be made aware of it.

I can see that you're trying to have some kind of argument with me. I'm the guy who told you about the ignore feature. If you want to argue about Dunkey's status on the site, I'd recommend having that argument with a mod via private message instead of with me.
Your intent might not have been malicious but your reply came across as an attempt to shut down criticism.

This is strange, you guys didn't do anything around 2017 when he said the F word.
Waited 3 years so you can say hey, it's been a long time now, lets give him a pass

Ah, like Era's favorite rapper Eminem who still uses that word to this day (even when featured artists on his tracks ask for him to remove those lyrics) and has over 50 threads dedicated to him on this forum. You can't ban Dunkey for his use of the f-word in 2017 if you don't ban Eminem who last used it in a song in 2018 to make fun of Tyler, the Creator. Hell, he made a song in 2019 where he's clowning on gay people.

If someone doesn't want to talk about Dunkey that's totally understandable and fine. There's a way to ignore the thread so you never have to see it again. People who don't want to talk about him also don't have to open the thread. You can ignore it without opening it. Personally I hate how much threads there are on Era about Trump because his actions and words just make me depressed. He's a person I truly despise and on top of that he is a well known racist. He as a person is awful, but so is censorship. So in the end I choose to just not open those threads and I ignore them. I'm not trying to compare Dunkey to Trump (lol), I'm just giving an example of how easy it is to ignore stuff you don't like. It's not that hard.

I'm certainly glad that I've had the opportunity to explain several times now that this was not what I was trying to do, then.
You've only addressed criticism by framing it as an unfair characterization instead of acknowledging that your comment was insensitive, don't you see how dismissive telling someone concerned about platforming a bigot to ignore the thread is?

Honestly, the Snake Pass playthrough Dunkey did (think it was part of a compilation video) is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

That's because the criticism has been based on a misunderstanding. Given that the admins had decided that Dunkey's content is allowed on the site, I thought the guy just didn't want to have to see Dunkey threads. I thought I'd help him out by letting him know about the ignore feature the same way someone did for me in the past.

I never told anybody that they aren't allowed to discuss his comments, or even that they shouldn't. Many people have been talking about Dunkey's offensive comments and I haven't said word one to them or tried to "dismiss" them. The poster asked the mod a question about how the site was being run and was ignored by that mod, so I thought I'd chime in and again let him know that there was a way for him to not have to see the offensive content, and also that he might have better luck discussing the issue with a mod via PM.

Really though, I'd appreciate if you'd stop trying to drag this incredibly strange diversion out. It is at worst a misunderstanding, one which I have explained and apologized for several times already.

I'm not dragging anything, was I supposed to ignore your reply?
Your initial comment felt disingenuous, and your refusal to acknowledge that it could be interpreted as such despite being called out multiple times prompted me to check your post history, which might be frowned upon but in this instance felt warranted, and finding out that you were, in your own words, a big fan of Dunkey's convinced me that you weren't arguing in good faith.
If this is all a misunderstanding, then I sincerely apologize and either way I won't bother you anymore.

It's funny because my two posts about Dunkey before this thread were criticisms of the videos that those threads were about, over a year ago and over two years ago respectively. "I'm a fan, but..." This was also before I was aware of his inflammatory and offensive remarks. And I did acknowledge that my comment could be interpreted the wrong way, which is why I've spent many posts in this thread apologizing for that and attempting to explain what I was actually trying to say. I normally wouldn't spend so many posts defending myself, but the mod post was very clear in saying that what you are accusing me of is worthy of being banned from the forum, and I really don't want that to happen.

I don't really think I'm some kind of prolific Dunkey stan, but I'm just going to bow out here as this has reached creepy levels now that we're trawling post histories.

Hey, I'm not one in favor of censorship but if you deplatform one person for a certain thing you gotta deplatform other people for the same stuff as well. So if Era is gonna ban Dunkey, they have to ban Eminem as well. It's only fair. Not trying to "serve" anyone here.

Sigh, what a shitshow this thread sadly already is.

Really funny video! I just recently went back to his video about Tetris, which is one of his best in my opinion:

This guy has a very particular style of humour I find extremely and brutally unfunny. Seeing ERA gush over him made me give him a chance (thrice), but not even a chuckle. Well, at least ScotttheWoz makes me laugh. And doesn't seem to be a racist homophobic mofo.

Yep i feel the exact same way, guy isn't funny at all in my opinion. He also reviews games very badly, and unfortunately has a large audience so he can have an impact. His review for death stranding for example was really bad. I appreciate valid criticism of a game but he just took the piss out of it

Different strokes I guess. Dunkey is predictable but still mostly funny to me, while Scott Wozniak I find painfully unfunny and awkward, and whatever punchline he has can be seen from miles away. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I find Woz is super harmless and incredibly piratical (and not in a bad way) style of humour.
Dunkey is just weird haha I can understand why people wouldn't gel with it; for how light-hearted the genre is often meant to be seenm it's sorta ironic that comedy is such a hit-or-miss with different crowds.

Thought this was an excellent video that brings attention to just how toxic the reaction towards this game has been.
Do you think this will impact Naughty Dog and how they tackle stories in future games?
And will we see a TLOU Part 3?

The part where he points out how dumb the haters are is pretty good.
