Oh my God fuck TotalBiscuit actually. There was a thread about him on Reddit recently, and people were telling him that they hope his cancer kills him and stuff. Which is horrible to do. In fact, one user explicitly said "No one should ever be told to succumb to cancer and die." Which is true.

It's also HILARIOUS because Totalbiscuit did exactly that four years ago.

Of course his response when this was said back to him was "oh man, what did you do to make me say that to you," which actually makes me mad unlike most internet responses.

And of course, when this is brought up on reddit the response immediately become "well what's the context, we need to see that!"

But I thought you just said that no one should be told to succumb to cancer.

Beyond that he supports gamergate and is a huge hypocrite that is only a "games journalist" (HAH) when it benefits him, but he isn't one when people start bringing up evidence about that.

tl;dr: gamergate sucks, twitter is toxic, don't make cancer jokes, games are stupid.
