Oh my, he's acting like a chunk of Escapist members rolled into one person.
He pulled it out of his arse that Susan called him racist and mentioned his son...
I've never even heard of the guy so I don't know how normal this is, but it seems like he has been hacked or is even drunk.
He could at least come up with some more original insults!

Eh, it's hardly the most insulting thing I've seen said on Twitter, but it means that he's made it easy for me to decide not to watch the show.
I mean, I'm fat so he probably wouldn't want me watching it anyway! =P

Ahhh... This is why I hate Twitter, things just explode because of nothing! Thanks for your update, mate! Your version of events just makes so much more sense.CJ Schappert said:
I also just don't get why people think that someone should be fired for having an opinion. It's their freetime and they can have whatever grossly redonkulous opinion they want. Sure I hate that people think that way, but why should I want to destroy their livelihood and everything they've worked for...
The Escapist is great and everything, but I think emotions might of unnecessarily escalated something that should have died as a joke at a right wing politician. This News Post seems just as unnecessary as the whole Twitter Rage.
What I dont get is why game jornos (and probably other jornos) had to go there all passive agressive on his crap, arent they supposed to simply report what happened instead of throwing stones?
I dont see tv reporters going up to someone famous that recently did something wrong and say passive agressive things to him while filming to get a reaction.

Because these game "journos" are really just personalities and brands trying to make a living and increase their viewership. Let's not pretend that these guys are Murrow or Cronkite.josemlopes said:
The amount of people defending this guy for being an asshole is absolutely shocking.
"He stood up for his friend. That is admirable." When my friends say dumb, inflammatory, insulting shit, I let them take the heat because they asked for it. You don't get to compare a homosexual relationship to incest and expect nobody is going to say anything about belittling the struggle nationwide we are having about people just trying to get their self-identities and relationships justified.
"He is a masterful troll. His skill is art." This one gets me. Since when the fuck is trolling meant to be admirable? You do it for your immediate, immature hyucks (which we've all done to some point or another), but in the end you're still a douchebag. It is not something that elevates you to reverent levels of wittiness, and it does not make you an all-knowing meta-humorist like some here think it does. Strategy does not excuse bad behavior.
Can we look at this for a second? The guy just seems opinionated as fuck with some antiquated ideals, and he's backing it up with schoolyard insults and stubbornness. It's not creative. It's not clever. And it's not something that should be condoned, much less praised. Did I miss the meeting where we started thinking that shitty people being shitty was supposed to be endearing? I'm fucking speechless.

What Canti just said.
If people want to be assholes then the response shouldn't be to come in and try to "correct" them or patronise them. Ignore, report if available, and move on. Anyone who gets overly insulted by this is just trying too hard to find a cause, one guy making an ass of himself and a pile of self-interested twits trying to "spread the word" or "show that asshole who is right" isn't going to be the stage on which world or even personal views change.

On closer inspection, he is DEFINITELY taking the piss. Seems like the only people going "rage-nuts" are the ones getting all worked up about this nonsense.
I've seen an article where he seemed to think having non Americans to root for in a film or tv show was somehow appalling and disgusting. I mean god, I love Jyane, and hes the reason I picked Dutch over Dare as my online avatar in ODST... but yeah, Adams just a teensy bit nucking futs on certain issues.Ed130 The Vanguard said:
It is wrong to call someone's bullshit on a forum that everyone can see, and then act like you are surprised and hurt when they turn their loud mouth on you. The best way to deal with people like that moron is to ignore them, not publicly talk about them on Twitter. Or you can, you know, leave out the references to them that link your comment to there twitter page. But they didn't do that, so I almost feel like they deserve what they got and that it's disingenuous of them to write an article on the site that makes them sound like victims.Floppertje said:
I think you have the subtext correct, actually. People who are against SSM draw some pretty gruesome and pretty inappropriate parallels with other things. One of the more common comparisons is that with beastiality. They say, "what's next, people gonna start marrying their dog". They make some pretty specious arguments regarding something that literally has no effect at all on their lives.
Ah, the social media. It's so effective at revealing human stupidity.
I don't care about this, by the way. I'll keep watching Justified like nothing important happened. Because that's the truth.

Lets back up here.
Comparing incest and being gay, to a straight guy might hitting on the same team you play for be somewhat akin to hitting on your blood relative. He could have been arguing the familiarity should exclude the sex and that its wierd to him that it does not and there its factually correct. even the base statement looked at like that does not seem that far off or offensive to me.
its putting the words homosexual and incest in the same sentence and ZOMG hes a a gay basher or homophobe.
his friend got attacked for a premise that may have been more or less innocent and instead of exploring the idea or the intent behind it they attacked. he trolled them back.
and having been attacked by liberals i know how hard they can troll lets not kid ourselves. i've been labeled racists insane, stupid, liar, so on and so on and 90% based on nothing other than i dared express and opinion that was not in lock step with theirs.
