Topic	Goldeneye speedrunner discusses leaked XBLA remake of the game
joe40001 02/15/21 3:13:25 AM #19:	DrizztLink posted... My worst edgy posting is me being a dumbass, not me advocating for the death of Jews. Do you see how those are two slightly different things? He never advocated violence let alone the death of jews. I've been familiar with the guy for years, this is my genuine impression of him: Part of it is he really likes being an semi-edgelord in a memey context. He had a video about how "degenerate" speedrunning can be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2rSIuEalJk It's not that he literally thinks speedrunners are sub human or some shit, but he found it funny to talk in those terms. He has since unlisted any video like this because he doesn't want to put out things that can be viewed as negativity. Even though I think if you watch a video like this you see he isn't being sincere in putting anybody down. So when he's talking in a basically private discord about shit he would say jokes that out of context would seem offensive. Maybe he's doing that because he's riffing with a friend, maybe he's doing that purely ironically, or maybe he was doing that because at some point some uncle or some shit got into his head that jews run the world or something dumb. But at the end of the day he never once advocated actual violence, he never once made a statement declaring hate for anybody. He was a shitposting edgelord. And this was all 3+ years ago. He got a little wiser and he understood that even though he wasn't positing this on twitter or anything public like that, these kinds of jokes and comments are probably not appropriate. But those who rush to label him hardly rush to find context. Do I think he's somewhat on the conservative side? Yeah, probably, like somebody who has been treated like a monster isn't likely to be a fan of the leftist SJW mobs. But that doesn't make him a "literal nazi" in any sense of the word. He apologized for what he said, and even though it was private discord shit, and impossible to tell if it was mostly or entirely ironic or sarcastic, he totally owned up to it and moved on. Plus he's always wholesome af, celebrating the legacy of people being passionate about speedrunning. How long does somebody in that scenario have to be crucified? Like this isn't like he had a manifesto or a plan to hurt anybody. He was being an edgelord in what he thought was private. Should we doxx all the users of 4chan? Even those who moved on years ago? Calling somebody now a literal nazi when all they did was say words that may be ironic or sarcastic on a private discord 3+ years ago is weird. Like trevor noah recently had on people who were members of a hate group and left. And they were welcomed to his show. There's that one woman who left the Westboro Baptist Church who people fucking love. These aren't people who shitposted in private, these are people who made being part of hate groups their identity. And yet you probably tune into those episodes of the daily show all while hanging ryan out to dry. I'm so sick the times when he made a good video and I share it and I have to have this same discussion. Because to be clear I'm fine with people not liking him, but what is beyond obnoxious is when people come in and demand nobody else like him. Or worse yet hate him without even knowing why. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori https://imgur.com/TheGsZ9 <cite>joe40001 posted [p:950654375] in Goldeneye ...
