Sure thing, but there's different levels of shittiness. We've all insulted people and said offensive stuff but "get cancer and die", "die you fucking piece of shit, die alone", "get cancer enjoy your third-world hellhole, eat a dick", "fucking kill yourself" - all unironic, in total seriousness and because of people talking about him online? Gonna go out on a limb here and say that these comments are shittier and well beyond what most people tend to say.

Anyways, I never watched this guy's videos and have no feelings towards him either way. His death is a shame and I'm not at all interested in dragging him through the mud or anything, but the stuff he's said unfortunately does taint his memory.

again, i just don't know if any of that really matters

you can say there's varying degrees of shitty words you can say, and i don't disagree with you, but it's still all just words at the end of the day, words that he said in his youth, and the only lasting effect those words resulted in were a bunch of people endlessly trolling him about it to his dying day

you know, in spite of having apologized and matured since then (not that anyone should give a fuck)

maybe if he was a criminal and actually did tangibly bad stuff, i'd find myself agreeing with you more

remember when you learned that john lennon used to beat the shit out of women? he's still ranked as one of the top 10 "greatest britons" to have EVER lived according to the BBC, though

This is whataboutism.

it would be, if it were the only thing i said and my primary argument

it's something i tacked on to the end to further ridicule the idea that someone's legacy is tattered because of mean words, because that is an idea worth ridiculing

you even did the same thing in your own post by bringing up 4chan and how bad it gets there

To bring up a scumbag like that as if to say what total biscuit said wasn't bad is whataboutism because you're trying to absolve him of wrongs he committed.

but i'm not

i'm just saying flee's attitude about it is stupid

Tainted doesn't mean ruined.

it kinda does

it should be obvious, but since you people tend to treat google definitions as gospel truth: "ruined" is listed as a synonym for "tainted"

so choose another word if that's not what you mean

Quote

I couldn't give a shit either but trying to deny that this won't always be a smudge on his record that is remembered by many (his cancer tweet is literally one of the first Google autocomplete suggestions)

because it's basically a meme, it's not something anyone takes seriously unless they're babies

he also just died so yeah a lot of people are gonna go headlong for the lowest hanging fruit

"HE TOLD SOMEONE TO DIE AND THEN HE DIED!!!!!! xDDDD" (this is what you're defending, maybe take a step back)

Plenty of celebrities and politicians have said or done things that weren't even (that) harmful but are still being associated with them by the general public years or decades later. Come on Verb. You're smarter than this and are just being contrarian for the sake of it.

duly noted

lacking any desire to speak ill of the recently deceased over such petty bullshit (and this IS petty bullshit) is being contrarian for the sake of it

Korra · May 25, 2018, 01:35:12 PM

Making fun/insulting people after they've recently died for doing senseless petty shit ages ago is dumb.

Doesn't absolve them for the senseless petty shit though, but yeah. Not cool still.

Never really watched his content but it's fucked that he couldn't beat the cancer. I give him props for making videos for as long as he did and respect his contribution to gaming as a whole.

Some of the stuff I've seen from people shitting on him after his death or praising that he's gone because of his involvement with gamer gate is seriously pathetic, but I suppose there will always be people full of vitriol and hate towards you when you take a stance on anything controversial.

Happy to hear that. Saves me the effort of going over the difference between tainted and ruined, even though I'm sure you already know it.

and it would take you effort, because in this context, there's pretty much no difference beyond splitting the hairs of connotation

"ruin" can be thought of as a more extreme word, but not necessarily—because, oftentimes, all it takes is for something to be tainted ONCE in order for it to be ruined completely, and that's why the terms are synonymous (practically interchangeable in this context)

Quote

Just to be clear though, I'm not speaking ill of him nor am I defending the people who try to slander him by bringing up his old tweets and outbursts. The only point I've been making is that public persons being shitty when it's seen, recorded, shared and remembered by heaps of people does taint their memory.

okay, i'll allow you that

it's not relevant, interesting, or appropriate information to be posting at this time, and the sort of thing you'd only bring up if you had some kind of personal vendetta or something, but i'll grant it to you

We know what a party is you mongoloid. Its your sentence that doesn't make any sense here, How the fuck is you taking pictures of yourself at a party after inviting hundreds of people to it the same as you killing yourself?

In what fucking context does that work?

putting it in spoiler tags so as to not insult the intelligence of those who don't need things spoonfed to them

Spoiler

when i say "kill yourself," it's never an insult, it's a kind suggestion, or a cordial invitation to the best party ever

so for dietrich to say what he said would be like rounding up every single time i've invited someone to a party

so it's like, okay? you do that?

really not complicated
