Well, guess I can't play Earthworm Jim anymore.

Nah, I'm still gonna play it.

I don't care.

Hopefully people don't let the opinions of one man no matter how ignorant they are stop them from playing same incredibly fun games.

I gotta admit, comparing a gay marriage to taking a dump in the wrong bathroom is hilarious in it's offensiveness.

Not like I care.

Indeed, still sounded like a omophobic cunt.

Such a shame since earthworm jim is fun. But then again can't say I am too surprised, the creator did seem to enjoy throwing fetishes of overly sexualised women around in the games. Typical sexist pig.

[TheSporkLord]

I guess suddenly his game is un enjoyable. Funny how that works.

Shut up and play the game nobody gives a shit.

[Darthdenim]

It's the Orson Scott Card conundrum.

Is it okay to enjoy a person's work when you feel the creator is a bigot?

I agree. Why should I care?

[LafyKid]

I didn't even like those games.

[Ceratisa]

Oh no, I'm so affected by the man behind the curtain.

[TheKlown]

He's allowed to have his own opinion, if you don't like it than don't play his games. He has made Millions of dollars from Earth Worm Jim and doesn't need your support if you're easily offended by other people having different opinions then your own.

I don't really care. I've knowingly enjoyed work by homophobic artists before. For example, Jan Axel Von Blomberg, AKA Hellhammer is a fantastic drummer who has been involved with several great music projects that I enjoy despite his unbelievable bigotry. But people like them could still do well to get with the times.

Doug Tennapel has also written article for Andrew Breitbart's 'Big Hollywood" blog.

[orangebomb]

Just because I disagree with his opinions, doesn't mean I'm not going to play the Earthworm Jim game again. There is no reason why there should be a protest of his game because of his opinions on gay marriage, especially since Earthworm Jim was released long ago, and it has no connections to the comments itself, aside from Doug Tennapel himself.

[TB1ZZL3]

Somehow I'm entirely unsurprised.

[DeIirium]

I respect him for daring to publicly have that opinion. It's pretty stupid how easily people get offended by this shit, it's as if not being able to marry is the same as being put in concentration camps. People who are boycotting this guy aren't any less bigoted than he is.

"I respect that you can have your own opinion, but I will not support your work that is unrelated because your opinion isn't the same as mine" ?

[IGreenI]

If a homo turns to me and says, " I think your a fucking homopho because you think the idea of a man taking it up the ass is disgusting." Then I turn to said fairy and say, " Yes, I think that's disgusting, but how does this make me a Homopho?"

Which one of us is the bigot, actually what the hell does the word bigot mean. Irony, I'm sure I don't understand that word either.

[Entice]

Lol I don't care, won't be trying the game soon either way.

He's still a massive cunt though, his argument is bad even compared to other anti-gay arguments.
"Being gay is wrong because people aren't supposed to be gay! Stop people from enjoying themselves even if it doesn't make any sense because that's how things have always been!"

I could have sworn I read you express your attraction to a tranny that whipped out his/her erection in a pic someone posted.

Yeah but c'mon, did you see that guy?

[HighWay]

I've never played Earthworm Jim, but as long as his views don't show up in his work, I don't really care if he's anti-gay and pro slavery.

So, you like cock, but you draw the line at having one in your ass or putting yours in a guy's ass?

No, I don't like cock, but that guy was beautiful and you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that would disagree. What exactly does this have to do with my being disgusted with buttsex; you didn't think this through, did you?

Honestly, I figured you weren't completely serious with all the "homo" and "fairy" talk.

[littlegonkyboy]

i've read other news about the fact that Earthworm Jim creator was a bigot, anti-gay guy but.. just because the creator it's like this doesn't mean that you don't have to like anymore the game.

Being honest neither did I, one play-through of each and I was already at my limits of tolerating Earthworm Jim.

Let's not discuss the issue like gentlemen, let's tarnish his reputation and boycott everything he makes until he is forced to convert.

Funnily enough, this is exactly the sort of or thug mentality that Doug was talking about:

"You realize this conversation is going to be used by your people to justify a permanent boycott of my work. They would probably use this argument to justify me not being able to visit anyone in any hospital while they're at it. THis argument isn't about laws and marriage, it's about cultural witch hunts."

Thanks for proving that part right.

It's not the fact that he expressed his opinion. That's fine. So be it, say what you will.

It's the ignorance of his opinion and how he stated it. If he didn't sound like such a prick, people probably wouldn't have cared as much.

lolwut. We're just calling him an asshole. Nobody is going to boycott his shit. Pretty much everybody said something along the lines of "it doesn't affect his work" or "who cares" or whatever.

let's tarnish his reputation and boycott everything he makes until he is forced to convert.

"convert"? You mean face the times he's living in and stop thinking backwards. That would be up to him. He can continue being an asshole if he wants. If he were to be involved in something I took interest in, I'd go ahead and check it out. His arguments were still asinine and ignorant.

Look at Mel Gibson and his crazy racist bullshit. If he makes a badass looking new movie, I won't think twice about seeing it, and I doubt most other people will either.

That drummer I mentioned before is part of one of my favorite bands which has recently reformed, and I'm sure he's still a homophobic cunt. But they're making a new album and I'm getting that shit as soon as I can. It's not like he's gonna come up with a drum pattern that's Morse code for some bigoted horseshit.

The guy talking to him didn't want anyone to boycott anything.

and the bit about "cultural witch hunts"? Well, let's see if anybody can play this thing.
