He can't let a remark against him go. Every time anything is said on Reddit about him in a negative light, he feels the need to retaliate and act smug about it later. It's the TB syndrome. That said, I completely respect and appreciate the content he brings to the community, and that until people of similar content-creating ability come around, we're going to have to bear with him, unless we want to be stuck with Travis interviews until the end of time. i've been very okay with not watching anything thooorin produces so far. i'm probably missing out, but he's too much of an asshole. | ||

Whole thing is pretty much "Yes I called Reginald a monkey, and it's not racist because it was a fitting analogy." | ||

Well at least for Regi, Caesar is actually very smart in the movie. Edit: okay read more carefully through the text, that's actually his excuse lel | ||

"I didn't call Reginald a monkey, I called him an ape" "Reginald is ugly anyway" "I called everybody apes" "I don't like Reginald so it's understandable that I would insult him on air" That's pretty much the list. | ||

He may or may not have meant to be insulting Reginald or Poland or whatever. That really doesn't matter. What matters is that it did offend and upset people, and Thorin should care about whether or not the things he says in a professional, public capacity are upsetting people. All he had to do was be like "Hey, what I said was meant to be a joke, I didn't mean to upset people, I'm sorry about that." What he's doing just shows that he cares more about being right than the feelings of the people watching his shows, which ultimately makes me not want to watch his shows. | ||

the second sentence clearly shows his intent and awareness. edit: i saw carlin live some time ago, he seemed out of touch and i was definitely disappointed. kongoline is the guy that lives in the US and used to have a country in africa as his location because he thought it was funny right? | ||
