Now now, Will is at least trying... I mean, there was a time (Think 1998) When he actually was creative, but let's ignore that, he's still trying.Evonisia said:Was that will.i.am when the word "creative" was uttered?

I don't think he's been trying since The Black Eyed Peas were not on hiatus. His latest solo work is basically a repeat of his previous songs, right down to some of the singles (Scream and Shout and #ThatPOWER in particular) essentially being copy pastes of The Time (Dirty Bit).Buckshaft said:Now now, Will is at least trying...

Sure they are. The difference being that Yahtzee's reviews are the point, and the joke was a throwaway. I could also get mad that he implied that he had sex with my father and my mother has a dry vagina, and that would make me look silly. It's silly to nitpick a joke.Zachary Amaranth said:They're also free to critcise it, like everyone else is.TaboriHK said:It was a joke, and everyone else moved past it.

Case in point: any time Yahtzee says something even remotely negative about a game someone likes, even in passing.
There was a time, I forget when, that Yahtzee actually apologized and edited an episode of Zero Punctuation because some people didn't like one of his jokes. I hope that doesn't happen again.Scrumpmonkey said:Why is that? I don't tend to follow these threads, has there been another outbreak where people lose their sense of humor again in previous threads?C14N said:Oh no, not another joke about trans-gendered people.
I mean Yhatzee insinuating he fucked your dad and making a joke about holocaust denial open mike night is all peachy but a tranny pun? No thank you, he must be as bad as seven mega-hitlers.
Edit: Oh look. People's sense of humor has fallen off. Maybe we can get them some "Humor reassignment surgery" or at least remove their heads from their rectal cavity, that has to be uncomfortable...

Apparently not, as Yahtzee's jokes get nitpicked frequently. The actual rule is more along the lines of "it's silly to nitpick a joke, unless that joke impacts me or mocks something I like in which case burn the heretic!"TaboriHK said:Sure they are.

I think you misunderstood, I'm pro-jokes, not anti-jokes. I was just hoping he doesn't edit his video and apologize, I support his humor.Scrumpmonkey said:Karavision said:Offense! Moral grandstanding! Rabble rabble rabbleLook guys, Yahtzee makes tasteless slightly jokes. It's kind of his bit. I'm sure there is a nice safe Tumblr somewhere where people post beige, 100% social justice approved, completely inoffensive jokes that couldn't possibly offend or elicit emotion from anyone.Xan Krieger said:There was a time, I forget when, that Yahtzee actually apologized and edited an episode of Zero Punctuation because some people didn't like one of his jokes.

But to come to a thread like this and tell someone to "Please stop making these specific narrow jokes i have a problem with" justifies all those people who like to characterize social justice advocates as hypersensitive entitled jerks. Boo hoo. It's a joke that isn't 100% accurate. Humor entails shorthand. He made a pun. Either he censors himself or goes out out of the way to pander to your world view and kills the comedy in the process. His jokes are scatter-shot. What's more THEY'RE JOKES. He makes slightly 'offensive' humor about everything and has done for over SEVEN YEARS. What did you expect when you came here? Knock knock jokes? The man practically made a catch-phrase out of "Triple cunted hooker"! You must know his bit by now.
I really don't understand these people. They just end up as walking examples people can point to when someone says that ultra politically correct thought-police do not exist. All most people here is "Whaaaa! Whaaaa! My jimmies have been rustled! Whaaa!". And it's so narrow. So making a joke about a Tranny is out of touch and offensive but the "Holocaust denial open mic night" joke about three seconds later? Nope that couldn't offend anyone. Is your world view so warped around finding issue with how people talk about gender identity? Because i understand people having a low tolerance for un-PC or offensive humor, it's not for everyone. But surely then ALL of Yahtzee's videos should make you upset in numerous ways. Do you come online JUST to get offended and justify your feelings about your gender identity? I don't... these kinds of posts... Referencing Tansgender murders out of context? The level of persecution complex on display here boggles my mind.
