Yup and then he intentionally misrepresents opposing sides including this forum/thread. Saying resetera supports piracy due to one guy offering a link, who was banned for it and doesn't support progressive stances because mods don't want his stuff on the forum, pretending he doesn't understand what people have taken umbrage with him about. He may say he is progressive, but I think he misconstrues his apathy towards how others live their lives with actually being progressive, i.e. he was hurtful to someone again saying it was okay to identify as an oak tree which they asked him not to do. And I will never understand how I can take his model minority myth line as not racist. I think a bit of humility and empathy could do him well and consider apologizing in those instances rather than ignore criticism, but I doubt that would happen, he wouldn't even tell his followers to stop harassing his friends at KF when all they said was his tweet was in poor taste and let them take the heat for it instead of him. It's rather bothersome as well he has continued screencapping posts and now a couple posts on this thread. May just avoid posting in the thread for a while until this whole thing hopefully goes away.
Is this a Reset Era Mod or a Mod for this Easy Allies page? I'm curious if mention of Colin is banned from ResetEra or the EZA part of the forum.
Well, that wouldn't be that much of a spin considering that you already play as Toadette for the middle third of the first game.
Toadette took the lead in some levels in the first game. I don't think there's a reason to put her as the main character... or are you thinking a Donkey Kong Country 2 thing?
Would you also double down on those mistakes and attack anyone who criticized them?
I think I'm a pretty reasonable person. If someone attempts to understand why their words or actions hurt others and work to correct it, I'm not going to hold a grudge against them (though I also don't blame the actual targets if they do). I'm also not going to bother to respect someone who clearly doesn't care what their words or actions do. I like Ian, but if that is his opinion, I disagree. I personally think those who are targeted deserve better than to have that behavior accepted.
Yeah that's pretty much how I feel. I respect Ian and feel bad having to disagree on this but that stance seems entirely flimsy. You could extend it to the white nationalists at Charlottesville and all of a sudden it's basically saying we need to love and respect people filled with hatred who show no love or respect for others.
1) 99% of the discussion has had nothing to do with EZA, just about the person whose show Jones went on
lol you know this isn't going to stop any time between now and then
Part of it is also people coming in and asking the same questions over and over that make people answer them again.
Fair enough, people keep asking for receipts despite the forum's stance.
Jones is the Editor-in-Chief and owner (co-owner?) of EZA. Whether it's a personal appearance or not, it's going to reflect on EZA.
Jones represents EZA, what he does is relevant. If Jeff Gerstmann of GB or Austin Walker of Waypoint decided to go on Colin's show by themself, not mentioning it at all on their respective sites, it would still be relevant to those communities. Luckily that won't be an issue since both have made their stances on people like Colin clear over the years.
I'm not particularly worried about that since it's pretty clear there is a significant chunk there already. I just don't think Colin needs or deserves a signal boost from Jones. Talking about it here isn't going to affect their actions one way or another (except in the instances of Colin posting screenshots on his twitter feed).
You wanna debunk it? I'm fairly certain him mocking gender identity was a thing that happened.
Personally, I wouldn't tell you to put up with assholes. If it's not something you are ready to do, I absolutely won't judge you for it. As I said earlier, it can be frustrating as hell and often also entirely fruitless. But I'm also not judging people who still try to get along and have discussions (like Jones). I do it too, because it's easier for me since I'm not the one disrespected. I try to use my priviledge for something good.
I can for a while but not forever. I still want my concise answer so you think people that get shit on just have to treat everyone with more L+R than they ever would receive themselves forever?
Yes or no, don't dodge the question? I want a clear answer the people that always ask the people getting shit on to aspire to some saintly conduct are often the wants that never want to be held up to that standard themselves. So you're saying I can be a shitbag to you forever and can always ask for L+R back to be unconditionally received?
If this is the case, I imagine/hope that Brandon's takeaway from all this is "well, this was a big mistake" and doesn't do it again, and most of that summary reads like Brandon trying to be a gracious guest while still pushing back and standing ground on his personal stances, which seems to be the opposite of Colin's in most of the examples given. If that's the case, I'm honestly fine with it. I'm all for people fucking up, even fucking up big, and learning from their error. That's how you grow both as people and as an organization.
Pretty sure this is a lie. What if I told you he actually votes for and defends transgender rights?
I mean reasonably I think if someone is harassed that much they should report it and not engage with the person anymore RATHER than enter into a hate fest and stoop to their level.
I mean I'm not saying that, I think thats what the bible says tho.
