• #seven

Unbelievable at how many people are defending him in the replies to their tweet

The amount of people I'm seeing out there defending him using the argument "he's a comedian, he's allowed to say stuff similar that" is absolutely icky.

• #8

Human being, the YouTube video in the second part of the thread is from over iii years ago. Sounds like this didn't merely resurface but just peak enough for attention.

Firing Jeff is a practiced call. Merely every bit yous said, ActiBlizz is still responsible for a ton of problematic shit themselves.

ok, that twitch clip was manner WORSE then I thought. He was non just sexist, he was but very mean and gross. It seems a sprinkle of fame for some people is enough to make them look down on people. Like he needs to fucking grow up.

I am mad at the host, he was like "cease fooling around" that is how these folks get a pass

• #15

Good riddance.

If only Insomniac did the same with Ratchet's VA

• #16

Imagine having "simp" in your vocab unironically

• #17

Fuck, I only bought a cod warzone ghost pack some minutes ago, hope that they change his voice

• #19

Become the quondam player from the pre-reboot games to come dorsum. Ghost's confront is hidden so it's non like he has to be exist modeled after the actor playing him like the other characters.

• #21

Damn, what a vile, miserable asshole. How does someone get so rotten of a person?

• #22

Don't understand how anyone in the replies is defending this, or why anyone would lookout man someone like this stream. What entertainment value is there in watching someone be a dick? Just gross

• #23

Reading the comments, I'one thousand kinda glad I oasis't gotten into whatever streamers.

• #24

That's a nifty step - would take been nice if they could have addressed how the literal confront of the initial Warzone launch and flavor is a right-wing conspiracy theorist, Covid-denying, nut task gun fetishist who supported the January 6th insurrection on her Twitter folio until a bunch of people started CCing Activision to the comments and she mass deleted everything.

It'southward Activision though, so probably best not to expect too much.

• #25

Good riddance.

If only Insomniac did the same with Ratchet's VA

Nobody would even be deplorable to see Ratchet's weak ass actor go. Everybody is Squad Rivet now anyways. They been needed to fire homeboy.

• #26

Unbelievable at how many people are defending him in the replies to their tweet

Is information technology, though? A certain demographic love this kind of shit and think its part of the fun of online games. They see cypher wrong with his comments, and their "fuck cancel culture" stance just makes them even more defensive of criticism and supportive of this horse shit. In that location are loads of scumbags like this.

In any consequence, glad the asshole lost his gig.

• #27

I promise they bring dorsum Ghost's original VA, Craig Fairbrass.

He's played a British Operator (Gaz, Ghost, Wallcroft, Tee)/MP announcer in all the IW COD games since CoD4, including Space Warfare.

I thought it was a missed oppurtunity not to bring him dorsum to voice a graphic symbol/journalist for MW 2019.

Ironically, he did play i of the British SAS characters in the Battleground 5 campaign.

• #28

Dude'southward 37 but acts less than half his age. What a miserable person. Good riddance.

• #29

Talk about being an absolute stereotype of the worst type of Call of Duty thespian. What an asshole.

• #30

Nobody would even exist deplorable to see Ratchet'south weak ass player go. Everybody is Team Rivet now anyways. They been needed to burn homeboy.

Non meant to derail merely why does everything needs to exist 'teams' nowadays. Can't they just coexist like Peter Parker/Miles Morales f.e.

• #31

Not meant to derail simply why does everything needs to be 'teams' nowadays. Tin't they just coexist like Peter Parker/Miles Morales f.eastward.

Expect potna, it'due south Rivet Gang or don't bang.

• #32

Not meant to derail but why does everything needs to be 'teams' nowadays. Can't they simply coexist similar Peter Parker/Miles Morales f.e.

And so what you're proverb is yous're Team No-Team?

• #33

Based on that clip, that is absolutely the right conclusion.

Hopefully they volition bring back the quondam vocalisation histrion.

• #34

If Activision tin can do this, then surely videogame studios can drop Reuben Langdon for similarly bigoted statements, and not just terminate using him as a vocalization actor only also his mocap studios.

• #35

What a miserable fiddling fucking rat of a human existence.

• #36

If Activision tin can do this, then surely videogame studios tin can drop Reuben Langdon for similarly bigoted statements, and not only cease using him as a voice role player but as well his mocap studios.

That would involve spending more than money to build their own studios. Cant accept that. /s

• #37

Just bring the quondam actor dorsum,
if that won't piece of work Cold War has a good replacement actor also.

• #38

Wow, he seems like a huge sexist unpleasant slice of shit. Skilful fucking riddance.

Time to give Craig Fairbrass a call once again?

• #39

If Activision can do this, and then surely videogame studios can drop Reuben Langdon for similarly bigoted statements, and not just finish using him as a voice actor but also his mocap studios.

Situation is a bit different,
RL is the iconic vocalism and does mocap for a one thousand thousand Capcom things.
This guy was an awful voice replacement for a popular character that wasn't extremely favorable.

Age is in no way related to maturity, morals or intelligence.

Lol. I don't know why I felt compelled to elaborate and then much but I wanted to clarify what I thought was an innocuous statement. Spoilered for everyone'southward consideration.

From the perspective of a 34 twelvemonth sometime stride parent myself, I can't help merely acknowledge that this guy sounds like an infantile shithead (not unlike the hateful bullies I'd seen my stepson accept to gainsay, and no not literal combat). But I think information technology's universally accustomed that an adult has a much, much college chapters to learn and evolve than a fucking infant. Hence why an adult "should know ameliorate" has applications for a lot of situations lol.

Bespeak is that this is a grown man who has had many years to have had his beliefs observed and critiqued with opportunity to correct, the potential to actually engage in meaningful conversations with people unlike from him and learn something profound, construct or attain some level of empathy and perchance contribute something positive to the world; Instead similar a teflon turd he's deflected whatsoever and all wisdom, and went straight for the throne of a mountain dew and Doritos shitlord on coronation day.

Mostly speaking, I empathize and hold with your annotate and it'southward a well intentioned one. Nonetheless, if you think your average kid has equitable life feel, room or even the need for comeback to begin with to that of a grown ass human then well... I don't know what to tell yous lol. There'south no excuse for this behavior period, but if these were the words of a kid then I would probably associate the behavior more with bad parenting and the influence of a problematic, ignorant environment (easy feat made even easier in a post Trump globe) and that there's hope notwithstanding in them growing upward and condign a improve person with guidance. This guy has grown into the POS before us in near 4 decades so I don't expect any remorse or rehabilitation from him, only a half assed apology that'll before long arrive in a desperate effort to save confront. If anything, this only means people of all ages in abundance are generally far better than this dude.

TLDR my statement was not a generalized proclamation that in that location is a standardized correlation between age and character, just that this guy is a toxic manchild and should know better.

• #42

This guy has been on enough of podcasts I've listened to over the years. He was incredibly sanctimonious and aggressive like this towards people for racism, sexist comments, etc., with a heaping dose of cringey edge. Hypocrite.

• #43

Disgusting inhuman existence

Fuck, I only bought a cod warzone ghost pack some minutes ago, promise that they change his voice

You can refund it and cite exactly this as the reason why. I'thousand pretty certain they'll comply.

• #44

I only made it a few seconds into the starting time video but that's a major yikes from me.

• #45

I am 35 and I tin can't imagine talking like that in public, allow alone privately to anyone.

• #46

What a fucking piece of shit.

• #47

I hope they bring back Ghost'south original VA, Craig Fairbrass.

He's played a British Operator (Gaz, Ghost, Wallcroft, Tee)/MP announcer in all the IW COD games since CoD4, including Infinite Warfare.

I thought it was a missed oppurtunity not to bring him back to voice a grapheme/announcer for MW 2019.

Ironically, he did play i of the British SAS characters in the Battlefield V campaign.

Recasting Ghost was strange to me to begin with. Without Craig it'due south just some guy in a skull mask.

• #48

A 37 year former behaving like a 13 year old edgelord, good riddance.

• #49

Fuck him such a tough guy

• #50

I suppose they can rent the original ghost phonation actor from the OG modernistic warfare now.
