Colin Moriarty, ex senior editor at IGN, then co founder of Kinda Funny Games with Greg Miller and now Last Stand Media, is a verteran and icon of the videogames industry. He is also very openly conservative and often expresses that very confidently and backed by knowledge. But there seems to be a part of the video games industry that wants to see him gone. That wants to cancel him. All seemingly led by Dia Lacina, who just recently quit her job because of the drama. And yet, despite all political differences I didn’t really understand why everyone seems to be against Colin? So in this video I will investigate and look at some of the things Colin said and the ‘allegations’ against him, which might have offended those people. I hope you enjoy.
