See the problem is there were very few death threats. MOST people were saying he retweeted something ****ty and should reconsider. I'm not saying the death threats were okay.

Almost everyone in an uproar about this thinks every tweet against him was a death threat. That's a horrific over-embellishment of the facts.

No one is allowed to make a joke anymore without being called racist, homophobic, or something. Everything is offensive, there are actual bullies out there that need to be dealt with instead of piling on a voice actor who retweeted a harmless joke about an aging rock star.

Those bullies should be dealt with, but no one ever brings them to light cause everyone is busy bitching about flags and courage awards and blowing things mildly famous people say way out of proportion. At a certain point...no one knows what to even be offended about anymore so they just whine about everything and it's soooo exhausting.

There is legitimate arguments that need to be made, then there's just amping everything up to 11 for no reason. Those people in the latter category are the loudest and ruin it for everyone.
I don't think shitty is censored. Cause its the best word. :smugracia:

Few? Even if it's few it is still harassment? Joke? No it still harassment, it's implying that he'll be killed. It maybe few but it makes people paranoid.

Why don't those guy reply it more politely? Like "You should reconsider that tweet." But when it's "**** YOU TROY JUST DIE!!" It's a whole another subject.

I'm sorry but if your joke is tasteless, it should be called out as such. You don't get to tell minority groups a joke that they feel invalidates their humanity isn't mean-spirited.

Furthermore, people try to point out actual bullies, BUT NO ONE DOES ANYTHING BECAUSE EVERYONE'S TOO SCARED. To dismantle the power structure bigots have, we have to make sure they know they're not in good company. That's why rape jokes aren't funny and never will be, because they breed a culture where rapists feel they're accepted. This gives them power, and makes it hard for their victims to come forward and be believed. Other power structures exist for bigots who harass, bully, and victimize minority groups.

Like... I don't understand why everyone's defending him? You don't have to even dislike someone who makes comments like this? Just admit they ****ed up? Everyone ****s up, does something bad. Doesn't make them a bad person.

And it isn't over-embellishment to imply that the joke is transphobic. It implies that Caitlyn Jenner is a man, as the two other people mentioned were men, and that one of them was trying to "look like Caitlyn Jenner".

Like, I understand if you think that death threats are bad and shouldn't have been made, I agree too. But people are allowed to be offended and should be allowed to call out things they think are bigoted.

When that someone makes death threat and the guy left twitter BECAUSE of that? I would dislike it. I think there is a similar case before? I think that movie writer..i mean Mew you kind of protect him right in your tumblr?? There are certain level that is TOO MUCH/TOO OVERBOARD.

I care very little about Troy Baker, Caitlyn Jenner, Micky Rourke, or Brett Michaels. In fact, I think Troy comes off as incredibly pretentious some times.

I just don't think the joke was all that offensive, regardless of who said it. If you replaced Caitlyn Jenner with any other female celebrity, the joke would be the same, except no one would care...

Brett Michaels looks like a woman.

Hm, between him and Nolan North, yeah, might as well give up on video games as a hobby.

Correction Chibi. "Bruce Jenner" was always a woman. She is now comfortable with who she is and has come forward, and wants to be known as Caitlyn Jenner. So there's no "becoming" Caitlyn Jenner, she simply is.

... Not talking to you on this, just musing... but... I've no idea why (besides wanting to deny her identity) people are so insistent on using her old name. No one calls most Japanese historical figures by their childhood names, no one calls music artists with new names by their birth names.

Still didn't know who she was until people made a big deal about her.

Just sayin'.

Thing is Troy didn't leave because of death threats. He left because "people get too offended". That's petulant and childish, and anyone who doesn't have racist sentiment would agree that, say, someone who made a joke about black people and got called out about it and left twitter for the same reason was worth defending on that regard.

And eh, only AAA games (which are slowly but surely becoming snorefests) and superhero kids games have Baker in them these days, anyone who wants to boycott games he's billed in can and won't miss much. I'm not sure why one would. He's a nice guy, he just acted like a child in this one instance. People need to be corrected on their offensive jokes.

It was at this time that i want official statement from Caitlyn. I want Caitlyn to stare whether or not SHE is OK to be called HIM.

I want her to act like RuPaul. RuPaul is fine being called he/she..man/woman.
