Its a bit off-topic now, but seeing how TB's other tweets got posted, this might shed some light on some things.

[i]Really[/i] TB?

Why is he such a stubborn drama queen.

Business as usual then!

I don't know why he wants to insert himself in an overbloated internet racism issue about some other guy which he isnt relevent of at all.
Like okay, what about the other case he's doing?
What if its not a bias, but that he's a [i]fucking copyright attorney[/i] and knows what he's talking about because [i]thats his job[/i]. God damn.
Anyone knows what he means by Leonard French calling him a nazi sympathizer?
[QUOTE=Domokun;52674382]Anyone knows what he means by Leonard French calling him a nazi sympathizer?[/QUOTE]
Apparently something TB said in relation to Charlottesville, which if this is any indication might've been stupid. Everything i've seen of Leonard leads me to believe he's not the kind of guy to sling around something like that without some provocation.
Man i'm losing a lot of respect for him recently.
[QUOTE=Anderan;52674220]I still think context is important. It's never a great thing to say but it's not really that worth getting outright angry for in this situation.[/QUOTE]
I think the context actually makes things a little worse here. Just because how he said it makes it sound like it's a part of his regular vocabulary and he equates it to the word "asshole".
So I don't really blame the people who are pissed, but still, abusing the DMCA for irrelevant things should be seen as bullshit by everyone.

I'd like to take this time to point something out that not a lot of people know. For the duration of treatment, chemotherapy can alter your personality. I had a teacher who was fighting breast cancer (she lost her fight a couple of years ago, unfortunately) and she was being treated with chemotherapy. Prior to going on chemo, she was a really sweet woman, probably one of the nicest teachers. After she started the chemo, however, she pretty much lost all of her patience, was extremely intolerant, and was just generally unpleasant. In fact, TB reminds me of how she was quite a bit. So I think it's probably safe to say that the apparent change in TB's attitude is likely a result of the chemotherapy, and it may not be something he has much control over.
[QUOTE=Sky King;52673802]Heres just a note. When I was growing up in PG county and the DC "suburbs" it is very common for "nigga" to be used the same way as dude and guy. You come around my area and you would see most young latinos, asians and pretty much everybody use it that way. Whites say it too but it really depends who their friends is and where they grow up.
You guys can want nigga banned all you want but a large percent of people uses it without racial context from all backgrounds.
NiggER on the other hand would get your ass beat here. Its like how paki is a racial slur but pakistani isnt. Minor word difference yet completely different context(although I have pakistani friends call themselves a paki the same way a dude would say he is a nigga).
If you are in the states, just dont use nigger.[/QUOTE]
I suspect this would've be a little less of a shit storm had Pewds been using 'nigga' as a term of endearment as opposed to calling someone a 'nigger' as an insult.

It could be because of certain pain/after-care medications. My mother had chemotherapy and she pretty much has to take medicine all the time, which affects her mood.

I've been wondering if that might be the reason why.
At the same time, i feel theres still some measure of personal responsibility in regards to what he's saying, and theres iirc been times where he's acted like a comparable asshat in the past, just far more infrequently, though i do get how this kind of situation would negatively impact behavior, understandably. I could see the treatments making him more frequently volatile than he would normally be.

I had a feeling it could be this, since this happened to my Dad as well when he was going through his cancer treatments (He passed away in July). I also have a feeling that TB is a lot sicker currently than he is letting people know.

Either that or he is confused because of the chemo. It can mess with your head.

He should really take a break from twitter.

that's insanely rich coming from someone that uses harassment as a silencing tactic
[QUOTE=Ganerumo;52671193]
Well the argument seemingly worked because instead of finding anything productive to say about it you just resorted to pointing out the argument I've used with no other information in your post. Good work, you did it.

me refusing to give your shitty opinion any more acknowledgement than laughing at how stupid it is isn't admittance that you're right, but if that makes you feel better, hold onto it.

Just social media in general, it has never been a good idea for him. We pretty much know this from all the way back to his somethingawful days.
Or at the very least he should have some sort of manager that he runs tweets through, someone to tell him "John, this isn't a good idea."

Biscuit needs a social-media secretary. That's really all there is to it.
Apparently Totalbiscuit is being a total fucking knob for no reason, because...

Well to be fair didnt he wish cancer on somebody on twitter for criticizing him before the whole chemo thing?
He wasnt really known to be professional and well adjusted on Twitter.

I really wish people would stop bringing this up.
That was [b]YEARS AGO[/b], he apologized for it, publicly acknowledged he was being a bellend, the guy forgave him, and so far as I know they became friends after it.

I think the more important thing to take from the incident is that it happened, yep, and he shoud've moved on from the situation while taking a more pragmatic approach to how he responds to stuff. But he hasn't really. He was toxic before it happened and he's just as toxic afterwards; there's literally a tumblr dedicated to pointing out the horrible, offensive and downright stupid things he has said. He was forgiven, which is fair enough, but he really should have used that as a "learning experience" (for lack of better term) in how he comes across. More importantly, this doesn't exactly do any favours for the argument that he might be acting this way due to medication or chemotherapy, considering he sort of has a long history for being an insufferably whiny and dismissive dick.
why in the name of the fuck are people throwing racist cards left and [del]right[/del] well, left when all he did was accidentally call someone a nigger in the heat of the moment and apologize immediately

Maybe things are different in Finland but if I yelled out Nigger at the top of my lungs at my workplace I will face a disciplinary and possibly termination.
Regardless of what you personally think about the word its still very insulting to a lot of people.

he could also do the exact same thing, if he was alone or in small company that knew he was only using it in a ridiculous, non-serious way
instead he was streaming for thousands, so go figure. thinking before you speak, let alone avoiding the use of a seriously charged word, is pretty important in that situation.
