Yeah I said that at the start - as soon as I saw the site - and that was when I had only seen the Kerri Ann gallery - which was bad enough but probably survivable.

In ANY public facing role, the absolute FIRST thing you do is scrub your online history clean. Beyond the disgusting views he has expressed, it shows an incredible lack of judgment in not having realised these would come back to haunt him as soon as he became a face of CIG.

Holy poo poo. Who keeps a library of 20k of their own quotes?
Especially when the quotes are absolutely mind-bogglingly stupid, racist, misogynistic and any other negative word one can find?

Even claiming it is "out of context" does nothing to make it less horrible.

Can we please stop making fun of Ben? He had one eyeball and an unshaved pube-stache in high school and was obviously picked on terribly until he understandibly became broken and twisted. Can we show at least a bit of empathy and understanding to this heaping hog of human flesh? Thank you.

Nope, sorry!

When goons go "waitaminute, that's too far to even be joking about joking about it" you might wanna reevaluate your life choices & behaviours.

Obviously someone at CIG is secretly Adam Savage and did all the work for cost of materials + a bag of cronuts.

That's basically literally what they're saying. "Crobbits has all his movie contacts, he just had some prop guy make it for like 100 bucks."

I don't know a whole lot about doors, but seeing as how you can tell its all routered/CNC'd to hell and custom painted, plus the fact that garage door openers are designed to make 1 thing go up, not two things go sideways, plus the door actually requires infrastructure (an extra thick hollow wall, track to run on, RFID, wiring, etc), it seems a little disingenuous that this is just being played off as two pieces of wood and a used garage door opener.

There's not even a way to take these quotes "in context." They're presented devoid of context, so are supposed to stand on their own with no further explanation needed.

Ben has an "old" (no 10 years old) website with 20k+ selfquotes, who range from creepy to very disturbing and 1200 photos of some local news anchorwoman (Kerri Ann), including a photoshop with her face on that Regina Kay Walters photo.

He has admitted that it's his "joke" site is his (and even linked it) on twitter

There was an incident on a forum I used to go to, a few years ago, where an autistic kid learned about radio shock jocks and tried to adopt the personality of one as an alt gimmick account. He horribly misunderstood the whole concept, however, and mostly used it to hurl slurs at people. No punchline.

For some reason, this sort of reminds me of that - Ben's seen quote sites like bash.org and long-running sites and forums with an emphasis on edgy/shock humor like Jerkcity and SA and such (actually, didn't he have an SA account?) and tried to emulate those, without understanding anything about what made them funny, what made them work as "something that can be identified as at least attempting to be funny".

Instead we have, well, this.

That's the thing. I was a lonely kid/teenager and I'd wager a lot of the people in this thread were too. Most of these people either grow out of their shell, reinvent themselves at college, or just whatever.

But Ben stuck with Wing Commander to the extent that it basically became his entire life.
