Hey, io9...

This week has been planned in advance ever since Finn Jones was cast. Seriously, Henwick could have been worse than a typical first-grade production of the Nativity Story and this article would have been published.

DAMMIIITTT this was such a letdown.

The thing about this that seems weird to me is you’re treating it like gamers are going out of their way to figure out ways to “twist and bend” this so that it’s a good thing, but 1) you’re hardly “twisting and bending” anything, all you’re doing is... wearing an outfit that you earned in game in a way that you want,…

Exactly. I thought Luke Cage was largely a snooze fest and a lot of that had to do with killing off Cottonmouth too early. He was a compelling adversary. I just couldn’t take Diamondback seriously. Luke Cage was more interesting is Jessica Jones than his own series. And the writers here have largely praised Luke…

a character with Asian heritage played by an actress with Asian heritage

It’s not the only time the show goes out of the way at how much better at martial arts Danny purportedly is than the many Asian people he is surrounded by, and if it weren’t so mind-bogglingly offensive it’d almost be hilarious. 

So, Space Funeral with higher production values. I dig it.

There’s this weird part of our culture that treats someone calling another person racist/homophobic/antisemitic/etc as worse than actually doing something racist/homophobic/antisemitic/etc. Also admitting you screwed up and did something wrong is worse than whatever you did wrong to start with.

This seems like a bit of a reach. Youtube was doing just fine before any of these dipshits showed up; they may have fostered more of a community, but Youtube would be just fine without these guys. Empirically, I use Youtube for funny videos and music to listen to at work, and the occasional video to watch while under…

The vast majority of Pewdiepie’s fans are children. And children are stupid. They’re not emotionally mature enough to fully grasp nuance or context. They see Jacksepticeye criticizing his actions while also voicing support, and all they understand is “Jacksepticeye talked shit about Pewdiepie.” They can’t see how…

“We collectively, as YouTubers, have built this thing. It is ours, not theirs.”

THAT’S A FUNNY JOKE, HOW ORIGINAL!!!!

I hope the people who are happy about his cancellation understand that they’re not just celebrating a professional blow to PewDiePie, but that they’re celebrating the loss of employment for all of those hardworking professionals.

“But it’s always been a learning and growing experience for me...this whole situation has definitely been that for me. It’s something that I’m going to keep in mind going forward.”

Well, I certainly hope so. But it seems that every time he’s at the center of a controversy, he gets more defensive than introspective, as…

It’s not even so much that. If you don’t want the people you work with to suffer the consequences for your action then you should probably not do dumb shit in the first place.

Yes. And the reason for that emphatic “Yes” is the fact that to him its just ‘some jokes that you disagree with’.

I don’t think mocking a head of state is really very similar at all to calling for the extermination of minorities, But Thats Just Me, Probably

It’s not political correctness, it’s respect and human decency. People need to grow the fuck up.

That seems to be the go-to method for edgelords:
