[FleetingFlowAir]

I'm currently having a debate with someone on this topic. People in this thread have mentioned that he said "I normally don't say that on stream" or something like that. Anyone know what video contains him saying that? Thanks in advance.

Reposting since I'm still looking for the quote.

 

[pr0cs]

It's a stupid word and adds no value to any situation. No one should use it no matter your color , race or ethnic background.
He deserves to be admonished, you'd think he would have learned the last time he did something stupid like this

 

[Stead Fast]

When does he start talking about racism?
Like tb he only talks about "adpocalypse" in the few minutes I could watch.

Double checked the link, yeah the video starts at like 8:26, let it run for like 35 seconds to where he talks about dropping racial slurs on his stream. Sorry I know what you're getting at, but it's not hard.

He mentions the adpocalypse in passing a couple of times to point to how fucked a platform YT has let itself when people like PDP now influence the fate of the company.

 

[Chû Totoro]

Is there a tweet he responded to or something? What did he say?

There

Don't understand it either (English is not my native language)

 

[Brock Reiher]

It's making fun of TB for being a drama queen.

It's a Dr. Strangelove reference.

"I forget I'm live streaming sometimes"

 

[Alucrid]

gross. went to twitch and some guy on the front page (dr disrespect) was spouting shit about people being too sensitive, the fact that we should all be able to relate to getting heated while gaming and that people should "get over it."

 

[hbkdx12]

Yeah TB takes a pretty clear stance against PdP here. Anyone claiming otherwise are beeing deliberately blind.

Also on topic fuck PDP. That shit doesnt slip like that. Clearly he associates black with negative. I actually defended him in the whole wsj thing. But man was I wrong. The racist cunt really has shown his true colors now.

It doesn't seem like he took a clear stance against PDP at all. There was a lot of circle talk that didn't amount to much more than: What he said was wrong, i don't agree with it but not enough to condemn him as a person. He's towing the line like i expect a shit ton of youtubers to do

This is even more apparent when you look at his pinned tweet and how he labels Tmartn, prosyndicate and JoshOG as scumbags for life for their involvement in the CS Lotto debacle.

"I forget I'm live streaming sometimes"

Obviously says a lot of racist things "off stream" then.

 

[Zemm]

If TB and Boogie were suddenly banned from Youtube and we never heard from them again absolutely nothing of value would be lost. They are incredibly lucky to be able to make a living from what they do because what they do is so lacking in any value it's insane.

The fuckrag with the mullet wig, and the guy that got banned for TKing in PUBG? Yeah he's a real winner.

Yup, I haven't watched his stream in awhile, so I thought I would put it on in the background while I worked. Immediately gets asked what he thinks about PDP and he boils it down to it just being a word said in the heat of the moment and people are too sensitive. Glad I didn't waste my prime sub on him again.

 

[Tangled Up in Blue]

Nah Boogie has done this time and again. So he decided to jump in without even fully knowing what happened? Using the excuse that PDP and others don't know the weight that word carries?

Boogie could have easily came out and said. "you don't say that shit. Ever. PDP you fucked up" and left it at that.

Absolutely. Between Boogie pulling his "not all YouTubers" schtick (and implying that PDP doesn't understand the weight of that word - wtf?!) and TB refusing to "pick a side" because "it's complicated," I'm pretty much done with YT gaming forever at this point. It's not worth digging for diamonds in the toxic shitpile.

The problem is the "network" that he in also manage PDP.

And they really don't want you to come out and slam your colleagues.

At least I fucking hope so

yeah i usually check out the streams on the front page to see what's interesting...won't be doing that again i guess.

 

[danthefan]

As far as i know Jim is funded on patreon and doesn't run ads on his videos. So this doesn't effect him. Smaller youtubers could get fucked even more than they already are though.

This is true, I don't think anything Jim does is monetized, he has no ads on his content, he gets paid via Patreon. This should have no impact on him at all.

I don't see the issue with people who aren't PDP and his supporting cast (ie racist fucks) talking about how this fucks up their livelihood. It wasn't them who used that term in their videos.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Totally agreed he needs to be admonished... heavily. Also, as has been said thousands of times already in this thread: it was a 'slip up' (and of course not in the context of an excusable accident).
This wasn't another ill conceived skit or 'just comedy again, guys!"

He showed his fucking ass.

You can see it on his face right after. Unfortunately I don't think it'll damage him as much as it probably deserves to. We'll see as the ball continues to roll, but as I saw with the despicable DaddyOFive situation, there will always be disgusting supporters lined up to continue the revenue stream.

Tell that to the "TRENDING GAMER!" winner Boogie2988

Oh, and Total Biscuit got it too.

Although, to note- PDP was nominated in both, and lost in both. Strangely.

It actually makes me cringe that people like Danny O'Dwyer lost to people like this. Good news though, Greg Miller got it in 2015, so I guess it's not a complete loss

You're right. He can't go out and slam PDP since they're in the same network. Same thing happened when the JonTron stuff happened too.

It's pretty much on the level of gossip magazines and stuff like that. Literally adds nothing to anything, but you can't help but hear from it every other month or so.

 

[Anung]

The thing is with TB's "it's a default position I shouldn't even have to say it" is that he is continually being proven wrong as forums, twitter and YouTube comments fill with people saying "why is it wrong?" or "I don't think it's wrong" these people in influential position can't just rely on condemnation being assumed now especially not in 2017 (current year argument)

Like I'm a huge fan of the Super Best Friends guys and I get why they want to remain apolitical but as a viewer that shit is starting to become untenable and silence against shit like this seems more like complacent enabling and its eroding my ability to enjoy their work.

 

[poodaddy]

I always found the fucker insufferable so I'm not surprised so to speak, but I have a friend who's obsessed with him. I kinda feel bad for her as she's a social worker and Super progressive, definitely would never say that word, so she's probably kind of bummed about her favorite YouTube personality being a fuckwit bigot.

 

[fuzaco]

Only the Jimquisition videos are ad-free, the Patreon is for that series, he gets money for his other videos.

If she was a fully grown adult who found his normal content entertaining...then I feel bad for her already.

It's at least been like this since my earliest forays into online gaming in the early 2000's. I remember playing Counter-Strike for the first time and the only things I heard over voice chat were "N*gger! N*gger! N*gger! N*gger!"

And the god awful sprays were some next level of terrible

Yup, Jim doen't have a record of waffling on these issues in public and having to get pushed to do so and lashes out all the while.

Haven't been paying attention to the sports and entertainment industry huh? They're just as bad, maybe worse. Gamers just have less tact due to a generally lower level of maturity, so it seems more obvious, but it's not the worst. It is, however, still embarrassing as fuck and shameful.

This guy is a legit piece of shit.

Of course! Racists get away with their bullshit behind closed doors. Just like every other scum on this planet.

Other media also tend to have built-in systems designed to crack down on this kind of behavior. Meanwhile, games media basically has Google and Twitch.

 

[Xater]

TotalBiscunt being a gutless worm, per usual. I'm ashamed that I was subscribed to his channel 4 years ago.

The whole streaming and YT community is like an old boys club. All coming to defend each other just to be safe. Clicking though PUBG streams I landed on Dr Disrespect who was already outed as an asshole, but of course he was defending this shit with the "heat of the moment" rhetoric.

Isn't Greg Miller that libertarian ass who believes taxation is theft and "political correctness" has run amok?

I have never heard of Dr. Disrespect until a month ago because all the huge streamers were talking about how wonderful this Dr. Disrespect is...... Now I'm glad that I don't have to pay attention and give any attention to his streams.

Speaking of Twitch..... I wonder if any of the big streamers will say anything (cohhcarnage, MANvsGAME, Lirik, summit1g, dansgaming, etc.) 🤔 Who am I kidding, lol, nobodies going to say anything because they don't want to damage their relationship with PDP

SBF keep politics and crap out of their videos. They are super not racist. One time they made up an evil woolie nickname which happened to be racist in a different language and were appalled with themselves

No, that's Colin Moriarty, who left Kinda Funny to start his own Libertarian propaganda "education" channel called "Colin's Last Stand" lol. Truthfully though, some of his videos are pretty good. He lost me when he both sides'd Charlottesville, though.

Not friends anymore

I dont think he unfriended Colin, but I'm sure Greg was pretty clear that he didn't want him on Kinda Funny anymore.

Gaming appeals to the lowest common denominator. The only qualifications you need to game are a few hundred bucks and simply picking up a controller.
