Saying it was all because of a single tweet is pretty short-sighted. The tweet went viral and brought to the surface all the questionable stuff from his past.

It would be one thing if he did the smart thing and apologized for being a dumbass. But he doubled down and forced his colleagues to jump in and defend him, which is terrible optics for an organization.

The joke is honestly harmless, but why use your heavily scrutinized/professional twitter handle to say it?

People do know how to conduct themselves in public, right?

I'm not against having fun. I'm not saying you can't have fun. I don't think this is funny. I think this is a failed attempt at a self-aware, tongue-in-cheek holiday - which isn't a bad idea per se. However, and as you can see by just a cursory glance at some of the posts here in this very thread, it's not as self-aware as it claims to be. It quickly delves into offensive territory. And it can be offensive in a vast number of ways, depending on where you draw the line of self-awareness. Do people realize Valentine's isn't really meant for women? Do people realize that it's offensive to deem it so? Do people realize that there's really no need for a "day for men to enjoy themselves"? Do people realize that sex isn't meant as a tribute or as a reward? Do people realize that this joke excludes people that are not straight? And I could go on and on making these questions. Self-aware humor can be OK if you're really self-aware. I don't think most people are.

Do people realize they can be insufferable uptight cunts?

I love the built-in expectation that women (or gay men)  dont enjoy giving head and that it's some kind of burden.  That there is no mutual enjoyment in it and that simply because some made-up holiday has a goofy name that means there is no reciprocation.  It speaks volumes about how male-dominated "nerd culture" at large both loathes itself and has very little respect for or understanding of women.  M'lady^10.

Protip courtesy of Lord Frieza:

So, in a very random event I was given a Switch today as a gift... I was surprised [as I'd never] been a Nintendo person. I had a GBA, DS and 3DS, but never played them a whole lot. Hell, I gave my 3DS to my ex when we were still together for unlimited anal privileges and never looked back.

I was just gonna congratulate you but now I need you to elaborate on the unlimited anal privileges. Thanks in advance!

I mean, pretty self-explanatory I thought. When she was over and we had sex, I got anal whenever I wanted. That's all. She loved the 3DS, still has it and plays Pokemon, though we broke up so I don't get anymore anal from her. In the long run, did I lose? Maybe. I didn't play the 3DS much and all, but I could still have it now and find something to play on it. But I took the short run. I've got no regrets.

Yeah. The way Colin double downed and lashed out when pressed compounded the issue.  He also has a increasingly shitty track record.

There are plenty of personalities could have gotten away with a similar joke, especially if they were more playful about it. It wasn't just about what was said, it was who and how they said it.

He was already in in the crosshairs before the tweet. The fact that it went viral is independent of the fact that is a shitty sexist joke that people can hear in the street.

Doubling down was stupid but I cannot totally blame him as it was a shitty situation to be on (even if he was already making it worse before the tweet as how abrasive he was ). The fact that people are using this, the PDP drama and Jontron in the same sentence and throwing shit like "the three white nationalists"  is the thing that rubs me the wrong way. The Jontron stuff was shitty, dumb, vile and  miles ahead whatever Colin and PDP did.

Separating the Art from the Artist

For years, people have enjoyed the works of many a vile person, after knowing how terrible they were. Sometimes, these people, say that you should separate the art from the artist, as you can never enjoy anything if you don't.

Oh, this ought to be good. Maybe some well thought out evidence-based...

First off this is not true, at all.

Oh.

LionPride remains an idiot. Later on that same day he wrote this

I learned I don't care about rappers committing crimes unless it's women beating, or pedo shit or anything like that.

TMI:  I enjoy the thought of giving head, because my dudes pleasure makes me hotter than mine, but past issues with trauma make it impossible for me. I've been able to try with a condom a few, but that's not enjoyable.  I'm working on it. :/

I also have never enjoyed oral on me, but maybe my dude just sucks at it haha

TB didn't come to JonTron's defense. His message was entirely about how hit piece journalism is terrible and unproductive. He had a second message addressed to all the idiots who said he was defending JonTron and how they revealed that they didn't even listen to the things they claim to speak upon. Grats on falling into that second group of morons.

Also, lol @ calling Rubin report right wing. Polygon writer made some errors int hat piece, got corrected about it on twitter and cried harassment in response. Nobody cared about his muh mentions, cuz he's got a dick between his legs, but still hilarious. Same old shit, new day.

Married couples or those living together also saw a marked drop, having sex 16 fewer times per week compared with a decade earlier.

So how can one have sex 1/64th of a time?

Wow, just like a big boy college student.  He smart.

Punching up (i.e. minorities and women making jokes about those who hold institutional privilege over them) = resistance.

Punching down (cishet white men making jokes about minorities and women over whom they have privilege) = douchebaggery. Any questions?

liberals learning about the phrase "punching up/down," is the worst thing to happen to comedy since Carlos Mencia.

two sources? one of which you didn't read outside of the conclusion? please find at least three more sources that come up when you search for your predetermined conclusion, revise and resubmit, thanks

Ah, now I see what set GAF off.

A former IGN writer, Moriarty is known for his broadly right-wing views. He has recently appeared on various right-wing and conservative outlets, including the Glenn Beck Radio Program and the Rubin Report, to discuss politics.

He's a libertarian. Though I got the impression he's more a Rockwell type than a reason type on most of the "libertarian divides" issues. (reason = weak kneed cosmotarians cuz they think gays, minorities, fee-males, immigrants, etc. should have the same protections of liberty as straight white males; LewRockwell.com = "what the fuck are publishing standards?"...at least neither are Objectivists, no idea if Moriarty is)

I don't care for the Rubin Report as it's boring and he reminds me too much of the Bravo Exec who started his own show (Watch What Happens), but the guy is just an anti-PC type he's for most every other progressive agenda point you can think of, he has on Milo and everyone else because the show is even more boring when he has on people he agrees with. I think he also does the thing Joe Rogan does where he "agrees" the person has "a point" so as to make things not become arguments.

Also, full disclosure, Colin Moriarty is like the best name that it makes me jealous. It makes me want to cast Colin Mochrie as Moriarty in my TOTALLY DIFFERENT (but mostly the same) Sherlock Holmes TV series. That takes place entirely inside an endlessly powered holodeck. Or are we part of that elaborate simulation too...

Didnt really look at what TB said to be honest, but as someone that doesnt have a hate boner for him I think him being TB he should just stay out of other's drama, it tends to stick to him as much as the original intended target.

Dave Rubin gets boring real fast. That Rogan appearance, the core of how he felt alienated by Cenk's intellectual dishonesty - it's pretty much all you can squeeze from that stone (that and a few "nerd" references in a political context). Following him on twitter was a mistake. He basically just says the same thing over and over again. "Wow, the left, am I right?", and never going much deeper than that. He gets people of varying backgrounds on his show, but they all agree with that thing, which just makes him seem even more one-note as person. His trajectory is like a guy who never gets over a break-up. At first, you are proud of him because he got out of a bad relationship and can be free to be who he wants to be ("cultural libertarian"), but then a year rolls around and it's like "dude, we've had this conversation over twenty times". He has less substance than Rogan.

The whole urge of wanting to troll people on the (far) left is really dumbing some people down, kind of like when everyone wanted boil themselves down into a bunch of snarky little Jon Stewarts. Basically, a feedback loop of self-approval in an environment where everyone is fishing for the most retweets and likes.

I know for myself, I have a line and I operate on a case by case basis.

Mel Gibson? Nope
Terrence Howard? Nope
Nate Parker? Nope
JonTron? Nope
Eric Clapton? Nope
Orson Scott Card? Nah bruh

On 5 August 1976, Clapton provoked an uproar and lingering controversy when he spoke out against increasing immigration during a concert in Birmingham. Visibly intoxicated, Clapton voiced his support of controversial political candidate Enoch Powell, and announced on stage that Britain was in danger of becoming a "black colony". Among other things, Clapton said "Keep Britain white!"[151] which was at the time a National Front (NF) slogan.[152][153]

This incident, along with some controversial remarks made around the same time by David Bowie, as well as uses of Nazi-related imagery by Sid Vicious and Siouxsie Sioux, were the main catalysts for the creation of Rock Against Racism, with a concert on 30 April 1978.[154]

In response to the comments, rock photographer Red Saunders and others published an open letter in NME, Melody Maker, Sounds, and the Socialist Worker. It read "Come on Eric... Own up. Half your music is black. You're rock music's biggest colonist". It concluded, "P.S. Who shot the Sheriff, Eric? It sure as hell wasn't you!"[154]

In an interview from October 1976 with Sounds magazine, Clapton said that he was not a political person and that his rambling remarks that night were not appropriate.[155]
