Bunch of cowards enforcing a lifelong blacklist to anyone associated with Colin for making a joke about women talking too much and also the crime of leaning further right politically. Absolutely pathetic.

He's actually more center now a days, even center left on some topics. It's insane to think he's anything, even 1%, the ResetEra people think he is.

I stopped listening because some of Colin's gaming takes are just utterly baffling and I'm not a fan of some of the people he has on his show. But retardera clowns going after Dustin is ridiculous because he's like the most milquetoast, inoffensive guy on there.

But that's exactly the way these people operate. You have to agree with them on everything 100%. 99,9% isn't good enough.

Ok, I just read about 15 posts in the EZA thread on the purple site. Doom and Gloom.
The death of E3 did massive damage to them; that was their "mainstream" content. A lot of their individual content is incredibly niche and community-driven. Their group content/shows were interesting, but after Ben and Kyle left, the spiciness and somewhat the sense of value in their opinion as an 'outlet' were heavily diminished.
In terms of personalities, I would group them as follows:
Ian and Gabby are awkward, sometimes cringe, and even annoying (they add nothing).
Comic relief:
Don is like Jeff Goldblum.
Huber is the energy.
These three are probably the ones that offer a sense of valuable opinion and insight regarding video games.
Brad, Damiani, Blood.
EZA lacks the console-warring spice and incisive industry commentary and insight (like Colin, for example).
About the drama... How can I explain it? It's like having a group of friends; one of them likes 'very specific things,' let's say, 'conspiracy theories,' and because of this, this friend has other friends outside your group that are obsessed with that shit, making it their entire identity. So they always brings that shit up....NO ONES GIVES A SHIT. But because they are crazy their voice are the loudest.

What did Jones do? He hasn't been part of EZA for a while iirc.
Not surprised. Easy Allies communities tend to be very insular and mentally challenged. From accusing anyone who challenged or disagrees with them as being transphobic/bigoted, to harassing and sending death threats because they dared support Colin (what had happened to me).
They have been a sinking ship for years and the community is one of the biggest reasons why.
He was on Colin’s podcast a few years ago. He was harassed by the mentally challenged community. He apologized for going on that podcast. Unless something more recent happened.

I was about to make a thread about this, but good to see that people here are aware.
I won't be watching any EasyA stuff from now on. Fuck them.
And to be truthful I haven't watched their stuff a lot in awhile.

Colin has the most integrity out of all these self made game critics. Dude stood his ground when his “best friend” turned his back on him. Started his own company without succumbing to the internet mobs and is now more successful than all these other outlets. Out of his home, lmfao. No need for flashy studios. Some of his takes I don’t agree with. But you can’t agree on everything.

Colins integrity can't be challenged. I'm in the UK so I don't understand the US political landscape as well as Americans and I wouldn't want to try, but props to this guys for being true to himself.

No politics
Colin likes Fox News... if you can watch that hyperbole without seeing through the BS, it makes me question his opinion on anything.

Do you have to agree about everything to like a person or think one could have good opinions about video games?

That specific case makes me question his critical thinking, which plays a role in the ability to generate an opinion/critique video games. I don't hate Colin, but I don't think he is the shining example of journalism either.

This isn't even about politics btw. I don't care if he is conservative. It's literally about Fox News.

We consumes all sorts of viewpoints. He listens to hyper liberal podcasts that go against his viewpoints, he listens to freakenomics which goes against a lot of his economic viewpoints, etc. Just tons of different things. I don’t understand, I have CNN, MSNBC, FOX, BREITBART, JUSTTHENEWS, REDDIT, etc all bookmarked on my phone and read takes on daily news stories from each, knowing they all have different angles. It’s sadly the only way I feel I can get the entire story from both sides anymore.
Just because someone sees or hears a certain viewpoint doesn’t consequently have it attached to their identity.

I mean Fox News is not a news channel. This all was confirmed in the recent Dominion lawsuit. But I do agree with casting a wide net and being a critical viewer... which is why I have trouble holding Colin up as this beacon of integrity. As a games journalist he is fine I guess, but he feels like he is the smartest guy in the room all the time, which isn't true. I appreciate Chris way more on SS.

Come on dude, what is the actual context behind him watching Fox news? Because otherwise this feels like the most drive by comment ever.

As someone who supported EZA on Patreon for the first few years it's such a shame how far they have fallen and how they consistently bow down to the most extreme and toxic parts of their community.
It's funny, Sacred Symbols is basically the only gaming podcast I listen to these days. This week their episode was shorter because Dustin wasn't on there, since I still had a day of commute left I decided to check out the latest episode of Frametrap, which is the first EZA content I've listen to in months. I was pleasantly surprised to find out Dustin was a guest, but you could also easily guess the shit show this would create in their shitty community.
Also feel bad for Dustin. Dude has recommended EZA and specifically frametrap a bunch of times on Sacred Symbols and this is literally how he introduced himself:
Such an evil bigot!!!
Any specific quote or context on this?
From everything I've heard him say on his show I wouldn't be surprised if he watched Fox new, but it doesn't sound like he is some blind believer who uses that channel to form his opinion and takes everything they say as facts.
But earlier this year he said he doesn't think JK Rowling has sad anything bad enough to justify the hate she gets.
So by Era / Eza community standards he is already in the worse than Hitler camp.

I agree.
I'm just saying when he says there's thousands of hours of him talking with no evidence of him being all these bad things they say about him he is basically talking to deaf ears, because to the people that hate him doing stuff like speaking up for JK Rowling is already undeniable proof you are bigoted fascist

There is nothing more spineless and cowardly in this podcast space than having a person on, having a conversation, everything good, etc., then afterwards completely walking away from it and throwing the guy under the bus because some losers seethed over it. It's just horrible, horrible, beyond the pale behavior and nobody should ever go on this Easy Allies show ever again, because they're held captive by a bunch of lunatics. .

Feel so bad for Dustin on this as he seems like a genuine guy who just loves this industry. Not fair that he was treated like this at all.
As many people have said, this loud minority in all aspects of life, if you don’t agree with absolutely everything they say, then you’re a “nazi” or a “fascist” even though they have no comprehension of what that actually means. They just throw these terms around. Disappointed in EZA in all honesty, but it’s no surprise they have been going downhill steadily for years, their content has been getting falser and more contrived.
Backstabbing pricks.

He left the podcast quite awhile ago. IIRC he said he just had too many commitments to continue co-hosting, seems like it was on good terms though.
Cognito from Iron Lords Podcast has replaced him. I could be wrong but I think there have been more episodes with Cog than Karak at this point.

I've never managed to watch any of Easy Allies content for longer than a few minutes. It's simply not interesting. Same goes for Kinda Funny Games for that matter.
I am a Patreon supporter of LSM so I obviously prefer their content, it's simply a good mixture of off topic fun and gaming news.
Here I also learned Kyle Bosman used to be part of them but isn't anymore. Kinda makes sense because I really like his Delayed Input videos.
The actually interesting people has a tendency to break out of constellations like this and create stuff on their own, which is good.

This was a legal defense. The same exact legal defense was also used by MSNBC. "Fox News / MSNBC are entertainment networks, not news networks." Or perhaps the claim was just made about the respective hosts of each program, but the point is the same.
As others have said, your best bet is to listen to everyone and try to determine the truth for yourself. About the only people I trust anymore are those who are critical of both major US parties, and even those people have to have shown some consistency and integrity in their stances. It's a very small number.

Totally agree, I don't agree with many of his gaming takes at all, but I appreciate that they are honest and that he has stood his ground so many times. Of all the people who have treated him unfairly, none are so spineless and opportunistic as Greg Miller. The level of betrayal is all documented right there over years of collaboration. And Colin is still willing to forgive him if he came through one day. I really respect that.

This is why there are problems, one person says he likes Fox News (he doesn't) and the topic goes off the rails. This is exactly what probably happened on Era except anyone who didn't fall in line got banned.
