a hole-y ghost posted:This looks like standard gbs poster level humor to me. Is it funny because he's the star citizen guy?? to be fair, yeah, but some things are a little telling about the sense of humor like making sexual jokes about his 10 year old little sister like finding a sign warning against pickpocketing and moving a sign for black history memobilia by it and taking a picture like talking about following women around in a museum because he thought they might be the reporter he jacks it to

SelenicMartian posted:You really need to add to the OP that he worked at a school for 5 years and some of his quotes are from that time. I also didn't see on skimming the factoid that they're trying to brush it off as "when he was young" when he was in his mid to late 20s e: one of his damage control attempts http://banditloaf.livejournal.com/105991.html

dans posted:Holy poo poo, where did you people dig this up from? I was one of LOAF's friends way back then and it's really weird to see our ancient in-jokes becoming a thing. he posted it on twitter saying "look, my old jokes!" or some poo poo. then someone found the kerri lee photo stash (that wasn't hidden) and it was on after the really terrible quotes started being found, the bandwagon was inevitable. and justified imo.

noone's saying he was dead serious when he said that poo poo, or that the context isn't missing we're saying that there's no way that these can cover up serious trends of racism and pedophilia in humor topics which aren't funny

again, sometimes the undertones of a joke are a lot more telling than the punchline racist pedos can be edgelords too

Colonel Cancer posted:I've never heard about Star Citizen aside from the jokes thrown at it in GBS but this is mindboggling. Its like someone looked at WH40K and thought nope, this isnt edgy enough for me. Star Citizen backers all have different realities they've given thousands to try to escape to. They're not pretty.

Frankenstyle posted:If you're not lying this whole thing becomes a teeny bit less funny, so I don't believe you. Why? he's basically saying 'its a long time ago, we were joking' so even if it's right, things boil down to closet racist vs actual racist, etc e: also, kinda not funny

from now on when anyone uses the "we were all young" response after confronted with some of the racist / pedo jokes and the sheer volume i would easily consider to be down with that kind of poo poo.

dans posted:We were young and immature, think back to what GBS was ten years ago, it was a bunch of Olsen twins legality countdowns, ironic racism, and stupid poo poo like that. Not that it's OK, but that was what immature jackasses posted on the internet back then. Even before that the olsen countdown posters were called creeps; I definitely remember other goons telling people to quit ironic racism poo poo, on a regular basis, even back then. The poo poo was around, but IIRC people got mocked, ostracized, and/or banned for the kind of poo poo he was saying, if posted on the actual forums. Again, it takes a closet racist to think implying that a black memorabilia event at a library would lead to pickpocketing is comedic. That closet racist may also be an edgelord. Still a racist. I get your point, though, so I don't really see any point in belaboring or bickering. But it doesn't really add up to a legitimate defense, and his lack of 2016-appropriate response shows. Along with the history of hostility to women in a way that was incongruous to how he treated male backers -- which was also lovely. He's known as having an iron fist that crushes dissent on the forums so that the whales of the project can have the insular community that will drive jpeg sales. This is not a strong foundation for a defense of his mid-20s jokester persona. JainDoh fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Apr 18, 2016 |

basically these people are human scum who have put an unstable man under such pressure that he gained 100 pounds and is overweight in a potentially fatal manner. Then made it difficult for him to stay on his diet. the tragedy is somewhat lessened, in light of his shadow persona reveal
