To tell you the truth, I've personally find that mods let a lot of shit slung at Dan slide, whereas they are ultra-protective of Austin, Alex, and Patrick back when he was on GB.

I didn't hate Austin but he always felt like a person who was a little too serious for Giant Bomb.

>>341739747
the coon is not funny. it's a cheap reference to a racist name but him saying "I know" is acknowledgement. It wasn't like him saying "I know what it is, you don't need to tell me Alex. I know what the Coon is." like you're trying to misconstrue it cause you MUST hate people you don't agree with.

Patrick did the same thing first. And here's surpise: those people are friends with the rest of Giant Bomb. Jeff, Brad and Alex are just as influential in bringing the worst kind of people into the ecosystem.
>>
>>341740052
He is a Raccoon, Coon is short for Raccoon. That is it.

The joke is actually people that take these sorts of things out of context and make a big deal out of something that isn't there.
>>
>>341740826
No it isn't, it's clearly a reference to him being a raccoon but it's supposed to be childishly ignorant of the fact that "coon" is a racist thing to call black people.

Similarly to the episode where they burn "lower-case Ts" and dress up as ghosts to scare the new black people out of South Park to preserve their neighborhood. It's clearly intentional, it's just kind of dumb.
>>
>>341740826

It's not that it is rude, it is that it is not funny and stupid. The lower case t stuff is silly, Coon is an ANCIENT South Park joke that was always barely a joke. It's just not funny at all. None of my South Park loving friends have ever laughed at "THE COONxDD"

Only if used in that context which it is not. It isn't a white kid dressing up as a black man and calling himself "The Coon". He is dressing up as a Raccoon. However it was obviously intentional to upset people that take things out of context.

So I'm confused, do you think the name itself isn't funny? Because Stick of Truth isn't funny on its own, nor are the select names in the game like being called Douchebag. What's funny is the presentation and jokes around these things. How do you know if it will be funny or not?
>>
>>341741565
its also not truly a child with the mind of a child. its written by an adult and a cynical and self aware one at that. the joke is literally that its a kid being unaware of the fact that its a racist term, if he was targetting black people it would defeat the point

>>341743634
The Coon has been around for probably a decade by this point. The question is if the joke of Cartman being racist is funny enough to warrant the use of racist terms and I personally don't think it is as the joke is just dumb. Lots seem to agree, and this is likely Austin's perspective as well.
>>

You're projecting. he has a reaction but that's it. Whats YOUR problem?
>>
>>341744319
Dude, this shit ain't even that deep.
>>
>>341744319
because few racist terms have double meanings like that so he can use it to mean a racoon while also being free to say a racist phrase when he wants, even if it isnt directed at anyone, and not that it has to be, cartman's character is an agitator type in case you're unaware

cmon dont play dumb here
>>
>>341744332
Lots in the easily offended community, but The Coon episodes were some of the most popular episodes in South Park since its glory days so it's clearly found an audience that thinks it's funny. It's fine if you don't find it funny, but don't act like no one finds it funny.

When you say a terms that has multiple meanings you are not using that term in all meanings at all times. Context matters. Pointing at a Raccon and saying that is a Coon doesn't also mean you are calling it a black person in a derogatory sense. The Coon is directed at Cartman as his super hero alter ego.

I like how this keeps happening but people still don't learn. The actor for Chef was the worst one since he was actually part of the show.

>>
>>341746505
Back when the Witness came out and chatter about it was happening, Austin made reference a couple times to how he's writing something about how much he disagrees with the audio logs of The Witness. Here's a podcast he was on where he talks about his issues in brief (big game spoilers):

https://youtu.be/14qesvEimlE?t=12m01s

From what I understand, he believes that the main point of the Witness' "story" is that science and reasoning solves all of the world's problems, which he strongly disagrees with because it doesn't account for sociology-related problems. Of course, being the black poser he is, police brutality is an example he gives of this.

What he doesn't seem to get, however, is that many of the games audio logs actually contradict with each other, making the "story" of the Witness, if anything, simply about the many different ways people think about and try to understand the world around them. Austin just narrows down too much on the audiologs he doesn't like, which is probably a sign as to how closed-minded he is.

Yeah I have no idea why people are so up in arms and celebrating. Austin has his views, but he never ever came off as annoying to me, and what made him so different from Patrick was that Austin never spoke with an air of dismissal like Patrick always seemed to do. He had his views, but he always seemed to try and understand and was always searching for the reasoning in different perspectives.

I've watched /v/ collectively losing their shit at any moment Austin did anything (getting mildly annoyed at "The Coon" = AUSTIN GETTING TRIGGERED HERE, did you see when he lost his shit live on stream??), and I still have no idea why. He was cool, and he had a great rapport with Vinny and Dan.

It would have made more sense to me if people were making Alex threads this whole time.
>>
>>341756329
They've been trying to do freelancing forever, Jeff mentioned on his ask page about three years ago or something that he was trying to get a budget for Patrick.
>>
>>341755891

They have maybe two contract writers who reviews Japanese titles. Which is a shame because Jeff, back when GB was OK, would import and review weird Japanese shmups with little girls in them.
>>
>>341756097
I think he once complained a huge deal about the idea of someone using him as a springboard, even.
>>
>>341753541
Hey, I didn't say that the "story" is actually good. It's just amusing how ass-pained Austin is about it because he narrowed down on a few audio logs that are "problematic" in isolation and refused to look at the bigger picture of ALL the logs, which flies in the face of his media studies PhD and posturing as an intellectual.

I wanted Austin to complete his diatribe in full written form like he said he was going to just so I can see how ridiculous he is.

>>341756329
Nah freelancing has been in Jeff's plan for years. But Austin certainly never had any intention of staying on the site. Until they find someone like Dan and Jason that immediately fits right in, expect the news spot to rotate every other year. Which will be hard because the community got triggered when they were hired, so they can't actually pick the best candidate

GB is dead. It started dying with Klepkek and Ryan dying and Dave Snider's departure was the final nails in the coffin.

I was actually one of their old moderators from 2009-2010. Around 2011 is when all the insufferable shits that followed Patrick from 1UP came to GB and eventually became the majority as most of the old guard moved on.

>>341756857
No they liked Patrick and imo Patrick was pretty okay and got a lot better towards the end. But Patrick was there for years. Austin left really quickly and is literally a footnote for the site now.

They're based in San Fran. Those Japanese titles are largely considered to be "problematic".
>>
>>341757018
Austin would have been there for longer had he not been offered a massive opportunity - Jeff said on the live show "I want to make sure everyone is better going out of here than they are coming in" so he would have wanted Austin to accept that.

You don't reject the offer to run your own thing.

you're taking that a bit far

I just hope Vinny finds someone else that enjoys his company.

Not completely implausible. Patrick will eventually run out of inheritance money because Chicago is still pretty expensive.

Also he's largely unemployed. All he does is write for Shittaku occasionally and makes his 900 view per video youtube videos with his horse-wife.

I have no doubt that Austin totally used Giant Bomb as stepping stone to get into the incestuous, ultra-liberal game journo/indy dev clique. I bet he's even now in Kyle Orland's new GameJournoPros Google Group that most certainly still exists under a different name to go back undercover.
