Of course it does. I'm a human being and some of that poo poo is messed up. That said, let me ask you: are you still the same person you were 10 years ago? I mean sure: you likely have similar personality traits but life has probably taught you how not to act like a loving idiot to some degree no? What he wrote is in the past.

ten years ago I would have been 17. I managed to not stalk anyone, have thousands of racists quotes posted on a website or talk about how much I wanted to have sex with 10 year olds.

Ben was in his twenties.

That's because he doesn't think he has anything to apologize for, he was just told to do it. He looks back at that stuff as hijinks of a young man on the internet, and he wants to keep it around because it reminds him of the good old days when you could talk about hitler, lusting after 10 year olds, and hatred of minorities without anyone getting offended.

He was still an adult for the majority of it. Ok, so he was super angry for a period of time. That happens to people, I can sort of empathize. I doubt it was for years though. And he has years of quotes from himself (YEARS!) saying racist, sexist, pedophile, homophobic poo poo! If it was just a few quotes out of context or from a small window in time, sure, it could be excusable. But from what I understand they cover what, a decade or so? And most of them contain some sort of context.

He talks about idolizing Lowtax (which is strange in that Lowtax has a sense of humor and isn't some dumb fanboy) as, what I'm assuming, an attempt to gain some sort of goon sympathy. But Lowtax and SA has never been about talking about Hitler's good ideas or loving children or jews all working in holocaust museums.

Hey Ben, apologize for the lovely things you said. We all know you're reading this. I don't care what the PR handlers tell you to do. Just loving apologize. Do it.

It would be even better if it meant I could avoid confronting dark, disturbing poo poo

...And it would be even easier if I could make a snap decision based on a synopsis of what happened, instead of reading through that filth and realizing "nope".

I was arguing my own corner with my own opinions on Facepunch and was instantly branded a Derek Smart follower / lover.

There aren't sides to pick, I just think that CIG spends money on poo poo and are incompetent. That doesn't mean I support Derek. I do like him and the stuff he comes out with, but I feel when I post my opinions I am being impartial.

Did anyone send Ben quotes to Batgirl?

I might be a crusty old internet person who has said some vile poo poo in my time, but even going back and looking at it from the perspective of my younger self, even I couldn't fathom the hosed uppitude of what Ben wrote. I see some of the shills in this thread trying to derail Ben-ghazi already but it isn't gonna work fuckers. The public face of your company just got caught saying extremely bad poo poo as an adult who should know better.

I think this is going to be a very interesting next few days if what EightAce and Derek seem to think will happen happens. I have no idea what the hell it is, but goddamn am I looking forward to finding out! Star Citizen truly is the best game I've never spent any money on and never played due to its ability to produce endless entertainment.

I don't think I'm a shill but I just literally don't give a gently caress about Ben's blog of shame. I mean I skipped 30 pages so maybe I missed the juicy parts. Pictures of the weather girl on TV though? I kinda don't give a gently caress and it's confusing that everyone keeps banging on that drum. Maybe I missed the album which was pictures from a hidden camera in her shower, that would explain the reaction beautifully

I don't want anyone to not :justpost: what their heart desires so I'm not saying stop - I just personally can't taste the flavor on this desiccated cat turd. I mean it's plain as day that Ben is a really damaged human being and I guess I've become numb to that.

I guess if there's stuff on another level of disturbing it will appear before me very soon! :neckbeard:
