Here have a handy-dandy wiki article that explains everything. WTF BEES posted:That's what I thought. I've just seen a lot of posts along the lines of "OMG how can you defend him he hit on an underanged girl!" (I'm not defending him at all, just want the facts) and I'm sitting here going back and forth trying to find the chat log or what ever that was posted that shows this. I've seen people on various sites (Reddit and that Neogaf topic notably) seriously saying you have to 100% believe any accusation or else you're defending sexual harassment and are therefore just as bad as whoever is being accused.

i just realized the perfect ending to please retweet would be patrick talking metaphorically about consent and if nintendo doesn't want to retweet the toad he should accept that.

Asiina posted:Alternatively depends if you can divorce someone's content from their personal failings. I've enjoyed media by people who are worse people than Nick likely is, the problem I have listening to his stuff now is hearing him joyfully bouncing comedy off someone who has no idea what he's been up to and is probably no longer friends with him. Not that I'm saying everyone should have that reaction, I'm just being sad that I was only halfway through the CGI archive.

It's like how (pedant squad warning, extreme example, not literally saying Nick is these people) I can watch Polanski stuff but I'm super not into Woody Allen movies because it's one thing to see a product made by someone terrible, but it's another to see them being the focus where they're being laughed and joked with like everything's cool. I'm not saying I can't ever watch a Nick Robinson video again, but yea it kinda has a more uncomfortable aspect now that the dude who's cracking jokes with another media dude I like has this gross rear end thing about them they had under the surface.

I thought I'd think this, but I was watching random youtube videos earlier and one came up that was Nick and Griffin, and it was still funny and I laughed. I'm also about half way through CGI, but I'll probably still listen to the rest of it. Doesn't mean I think it was the wrong decision to get rid of Nick or that it excuses what he did or even that I think losing future content isn't totally reasonable, but funny is still funny.

I also want to make sure that my post above didn't come off as smarmy, I'm legitimately wondering how much of a difference it might make. The most I can currently relate to it is seeing OJ in the Naked Gun... But obviously there's a huge difference in severity there.

Yeah I think thats fine. it's basically a catch-all polygon / McElroy thread. TPS is awesome, it's so funny. Very positive and chill, while never being boring. Surprisingly fast paced, too.

It did take me a while to identify voices, but that's normal for a new podcast. Chelsea still sometimes confuses me, she's got a much less distinctive voice than the others.

JOHNSON COCKSLAP posted:It's impossible to tell them apart, while believing victims. As for the apology, I can buy that a self-admitted immature manchild thought what he was doing was flirting, and even more, thought his approach was working when they continued to engage him. That's what an immature person thinks when nobody calls them out for a long time. Now there's no way to say he's unaware of it anymore, so as long as he acts on his statement, good for him. Words are over, actions are needed now. Chieves posted:The most I can currently relate to it is seeing OJ in the Naked Gun... But obviously there's a huge difference in severity there.

also i started listening to TAZ again, to enjoy when it was actually good. I understand why people were angry about the chalupa possibility, justins original portrayal of taco included super racist mexican stereotypes that no-one called him out on. Don't really know how i feel about these "soft, nice" boys anymore.

Is there a MBMBAM episode that is a good starting place for people who don't know of the McElroys? I'm driving to GenCon and wouldn't mind a listen or two but I don't want to annoy the passengers.
