If Freddy had lived nerds would be hating on Queen as boring dad-rock, but because they aren't really in the news these days, nerds can pretend that they've "discovered" them. Found the queen-hipster. We are playing that, right? They are almost the same as vegans. Every time they get the chance, they will tell you how great queen is. Faramouge, faramouge.

Was Yahtzee the "150 IQ" guy or was that someone else?

TotalBiscuit seems worse. He's the "say that trans people are just mentally ill and then issue an hour and a half rambling pseudo-apology" type.

He also told someone to get cancer once, then deleted the comment after he got diagnosed with cancer himself because the irony was overwhelming I guess.

Please friends, there's no need to misremember TotalBiscuit terrible opinions. Aside from you, CommunistPancake you're good. Let's all just take a look at the archive. http://whatdidtotalbiscuitdonow.tumblr.com/Antivehicular posted:It also never ceases to bemuse me when Imgur content featuring Tumblr screenshots and/or reaction images of black people hit the front page, given how the Imgur userbase feels about both Tumblr and black people. I guess they're acceptable as upvote sources? It's very simple. Black people are okay as long as they're reaction images without opinions. Or they agree with them like Charles Barkley, or- as they believe- Chris Rock. Otherwise they're just dense gorillas that need to stop whining about free stuff with all that privilege they have over the rest of us like saying friend of the family and-

No, because Scientologists aren't any more inherently terrible (that I'm aware of) than any other organized religion. I still feel that most celebrities who become Scientologists are doing it for some sort of tax exemption. I bet once they lose their exempt status next month, a lot of famous people will stop identifying as one.

You know, I like this thread because I appreciate the irony of people in this thread heaving their rock-hewn opinions on society at teenagers farting out their fledgling opinions on society. I don't know who these internet superstars are, but whatever sad sack of poo poo made it their life mission to make a blog about one of them, archiving all their opinions, and passing out torches for the internet mob really needs to rethink their life. If you can't segregate in your mind the quality of a person's output, whether it be art, craft, labor, or charity, and their opinions and cynicisms, and personal failings, then you're a loving child. "Ohh, some guy had a bad opinion once, now I have to disavow them, and stop liking their stuff." Give me a goddamn break. The greatest contributors to the advancement of human kind all did bad things. Albert Einstein was a womanizer and a cheater, who likely plagiarized parts of his magnum opus. Richard Wagner was a raging anitsemite, abuser, and swindler, who's music helped inspire Hitler to his objectives. Mother Teresa for gods sake supported the suspension of Indian civil liberties, and cavorted with embezzlers, thieves and ex-patriots who donated millions of dollars to her organization, stolen from government coffers, poverty relief funds, and employee pensions. loving pick one. Go back through history and pick someone and learn about them, and they did something bad. The idea that doing something bad means a person can then have nothing good about them appreciated is dumb. The idea that we should suppress all dissident thought and expression thereof is a bad bit. You should be ashamed of yourself for choosing censorship and public shaming over the free exchange of ideas, no matter how impudent or repulsive they might be.

What the gently caress is this? What does this mean? Do we have to support everyone no matter how lovely their opinions are because no one's perfect? I honestly don't see the point you're making here. Should mock threads stop because their whole purpose is making fun of people or something? Isn't the Free Market all about taking your business somewhere that matches up with your opinions and thoughts? Aren't you supposed to stop supporting people and practices if you don't agree with them? I cannot parse this for the life of me.

The most entertaining thing about Zero Punctuation now is how whenever Yahtzee says something like "having a mechanic based on a girl's clothing getting wet is dumb" the comments lose their poo poo at him for being a gender traitor.

http://imgur.com/gallery/R8ZdLb0 See, I would suggest airing your grievances out with your date instead of pulling passive aggressive poo poo like this. But I already don't trust anything I see on Imgur anyway so I don't believe she spent the entire time texting. Or maybe the date was going badly and it was very silent, I dunno.

I like the payoff to the Tomb Raider Anniversary review when he promises himself he won't make any boob jokes due to it being low hanging fruit - however they start leaking out during his list of game ideas at the end until the eruption occurs. The list gets more and more obvious (A group of aliens trying to defend their Milk Factories from an invasion of Mummies) until BREASTS BOOBS LOVE PILLOWS STONKING! GREAT! TITS!

I've been to group gatherings where we were watching movies, and sure enough once one person started browsing on their phone, everyone would an everything would die out when it was going fine before. I remember it being particularly bad when the iPhone first came out. My sister's friend would start reading Facebook conversations, and just not stop until the restaurant check arrived, or the credits rolled (she would look up every few minutes and ask what was happening in a movie/show and it drove everyone up the wall). But odds are yeah it's another fake black twitter. Another case of lovely post decent comments: http://imgur.com/gallery/rRkZ7

Yahtzee strikes me as the kind of guy who has bad opinions because he lives under a rock and is generally suspicious of social interaction, so he's sort of a clueless rear end. He's shown enough reasonable opinions (at least regarding video games, the only area where I give any shits about what he thinks) that I'm willing to let his occasional crap opinions slide. He doesn't seem nearly as bad as what one would normally expect from a fedora, at least, and I haven't heard anything about him trying to sic followers on anyone.
