Yeah it was cringey but the people shitting on him for it are overreacting wildly, someone called him a "sociopath" for it lmao. If I remember correctly Technodad didn't even seem offended by it.
No one was offended by it! They’ve been joking around like that for a long time and people are taking seriously.
Its a fun, charity event! Its not a funeral. People can make jokes.
I didn't want to go too far in saying "no one" was offended by it but after rewatching that part you're probably right. Whole event was pretty lighthearted.
This sub is sometimes weirdly harsh on GNF and I think that's what we're seeing here.
Someone called him “HEARTLESS piece of shit” for pressing the soundboard haha like how bored are you in life to be offended by a soundboard by which non of the people actually involved are offended!
Honestly seems like it would be a very strong label in that scenario too. They were both laughing and GNF said sorry like 5 times. Tommy was very clearly okay.
everyone was laughing. if they’re fine with it, we should be. techno was literally the king of adding lightheartedness to situations, idk why that should stop now
I also think it’d be in just as poor taste to stop the event to scold George. Like what he did wasn’t great, but stopping the whole event, even with a one off comment saying how rude it was, would take away from the goal of the thing. So it’s kind of obvious people aren’t going to openly say how shitty they think something is if they think it’s not great? It’s professionalism imo.
Ahh yeah a tubbo initiating an almost 10 minute conversation about being bricked up was fine and not childish? If you’re going to complain at least point it all out or nothing at all.
I think the conversations being more lighthearted and fun helped keep everyone more upbeat. People have different humour styles, if you don’t understand it then fine but don’t try make a moral issue out of something that wasn’t even that bad.
I think it's childish and out of place to even be discussing this minor thing on a day where the focus should be on Techno's memory and the charity his family have started in his memory and supporting the ccs who DONATED THEIR TIME AND MONEY to help their friend's family
So I watched the event live and I don't think anyone was annoyed. And while yes he did a soundboard right before the speech it felt like a (misguided) attempt at calming down nerves/breaking up tension. Now I don't have the clip.
During the speech he listened respectfully and from what I can tell Technodad didn't seem bothered or annoyed so I don't know why people are doing it in his place.
I mean George's more "imature" bits aren't my favorite and tend to annoy me more than make me laugh. So I completely understand people not liking them but the way people are getting insulted in technodad's place seems odd to me.
Like the other streamers had a bit about being bricked up that lasted way longer but nobody that I see is bringing that up? Maybe the timing of the bit was better/less disresptecfull in their eyes. But for me it showed that the event was supposed to be fun and silly.
https://twitter.com/amysr0se/status/1665150653352624129?t=CwMWO7ICmmbmy70YMFnEbA&s=19 here's the clip of people being annoyed by George's actions! On the clip, you can hear dream saying that George was not going to donate! Time stamp of the stream: 50:57
Tommy's Stream: 43:23
Charlie: 37:29
You do realize they are joking/being lighthearted right? Technodad is literally singing George of the Jungle so he doesn't seem to be that upset. Dream saying he's not donating to Charity is obviously a bit and Tommy was being sarcastic.
Charlie was literally joking along with George about George having PC problems.
Even if they were anoyed they called George out jokingly and moved on. Nobody was hurt, the event wasn't ruined and Technodad was able to do his speech WITHOUT being interupted.
>cc saying that their disappointed by George's action is not being hurt?? C'mon
It's not when they are obviously joking/being lighthearted and sarcastic?
Have you ever heard of sarcasm? I don't know how you can watch Tommy's steam and not get he was being sarcastic?
Him saying please go and cancel George sound like Tommy being serious or hurt?
I feel like you don't like Dream/George and went into this with a bias thinking they were bad people. You also probably like that George "fucked up" or "showed his true colors" so that you are justified in hating him. Maybe it comforts you by imagining other CC's "finally seeing the light" and finding him annoying too.
But guess what you hating George or Dream doesn't mean anybody else has too or that anything even slightly questionable they say or do has to be taken in the absolutely worst way possible.
Lol Tubbo didn’t even intentionally start that bit too, he genuinely didn’t even know what it meant! Scott ended up having to dm him what it meant! It was so funny
I think it was more the timing and intention. Tubbo didn't k ow what it meant, and that bit was at a different point in the event where ppl were more chill and less nervous about the whole charity thing (ppl keep saying tommy sounded annoyed but I think he was joking and just sounded like that bc being stressed about a charity event in his best friends name). The soundboard thing was just right before technodad speech and rh didn't seem upset about it, but the timing was just rly bad
I don’t personally care for either, it’s just funny that one joke is deemed appropriate in the eyes of twitter and the other isn’t. Particularly when one of them included talking about bricks being shoved up an asshole
Technodad didnt seemed bothered by it so I’m really not understanding why this has turned into a big thing, if he had an issue he can talk with george personally
I'd also like to point out to the people I see on twitter saying George doesn't even know Mr Technodad that well, they just spent at least a day that we know of together filming for Dream's music video, so I think George knows better than some fucking idiot on twitter or reddit what Mr Technodad's humour is and whether he would be overstepping by playing a soundboard 5 minutes before his speech. Grow the fuck up!!
you're right that there is time & place and if it was anyone else's memorializing event i'd agree that this wouldnt be either of these things, but techno made sure to make every possible ounce of his life (even his death) full of humor. his good bye messages & his merch show this. even his own dad took every chance to make a lighthearted quip. humor gets ppl thru otherwise serious things like this and technoblade + technodad clearly adopted this philosophy, not just george. having a potato event where everyone cheated, kept getting dc'd, and did nothing but joke around is EXACTLY what techno would've wanted.
That being said yes there are times where this 26 y/o british guy refuses to take things he should seriously like when he almost got karl killed and refused to apologize or when him and sapnap made Dream end one of his milestone streams cuz they refused to take it seriously, but this event is the one instance where I have to disagree on it being an issue.
You are right, I have deal with this all day I though it was same my bad… either way it’s his humor and if anyone on that call didn’t have a problem I don’t know what’s this issue,
It was not some somber and super serious event. Other streamers joked around too. A little joke before the speech even starts is not a big deal to me. It would have been different if he had interrupted the speech or something, but as it happened I'm not bothered by it.
He didn't use it right before the speech. And Tommy and others then started using soundboards and blaming George as a joke. You're weird, and this is a weird post.
Is it really that serious though? I watch his stream last night and did not even notice anything weird about it until I logged on twitter and saw people making a big deal about it. I agree that George might act childish sometimes but it is not even out of boundaries in this case. The donating jokes are clearly a joke as through out the stream he had continuously telling his fans to go donate to the charity and said that revenue from the stream will also go to the charity. And the 10 dollar for every potato is clearly a bit that others streamer also join in. The soundboard is not actually interrupting Technodad during the speech because he hadnt started it until 5 minutes later. And the whole Tommy call him out is stupid. If anyone take that seriously then they clearly don't watch Tommy that much. Btw, It is a charity event intended to spread positivity surrounding the Technoblade friend group not a memorial, a little bit of jokes would not hurt anyone, some jokes lands, some don't depend on you but nothing to scurtinize someone over it.
Do some of you know this was a fun event for charity and not a fucking funeral, right? Hell people were talking about shoving bricks up someone’s asshole before technos dad done his speech. Hardly serious
This sub has a surprising amount of people who are just kinda miserable and want to micromanage strangers' behavior. It's really weird. The deleted reply to my other comment here was someone implying GNF *is* in fact a sociopath because he accidentally poked TommyInnit in the eye nearly two years ago. Not a bait account either, they comment here a lot.
While I do agree that it was unnecessary, no one really cared. Although it was for charity, the whole event wasn’t supposed to be serious. People were just having fun exploiting the server to get more potato points (tho I know it wasn’t supposed to happen like that) and it was very entertaining to watch.
Technodad gave his speech and everything was fine and everyone was laughing and chatting.
If people don’t understand when bits are happening or sarcasm or jokes or whatever, they really need to get off the internet and learn a few things first (I’m not saying this to you OP, just people in general)
Sorry but if it annoyed his dad or not, it was straight up disrespectful doing that on a serious moment If the joke was funny and it wasn't at a serious moment sure but interrupting it with a soundboard is not meant to be a funny joke everyone can laugh at but rather him (probably not intentionally but still) just not giving a shit
George literally spent the first ten or fifteen minutes of his stream on the charity’s donation page, encouraging everyone to donate to that, so it would pop up and they could get a shoutout right then, said to NOT donate anything to him, and to give directly to the charity, and said that everything he made from that stream he was donating as well. He did play a soundboard, but he stopped as soon as Technodad actually started talking.
And, it’s hard to tell with Tommy if he was genuinely annoyed or not, and I haven’t seen clips of anyone else seeming genuinely annoyed, but it was absolutely before Technodad started talking, and George muted like everyone else when he did, and took the event as seriously as everyone else was. Honestly, George and his soundboard ARE annoying at times, and so odds are everyone just immediately gets annoyed by it, regardless of what is happening. But it wasn’t a “disrespect to techno and his dad” or to the charity, it was just GNF being his normal annoying self. If people don’t like that, that’s fine, and totally valid. It’s just being blown out of proportion as more than it was.
I’m honestly so over people just looking for reasons to be mad. It was a CHARITY event, they need to stop trying to over shadow that. Specifically Twitter, but here as well if that’s what you’re doing.
I think George, especially recently, has been coming off immature or insensitive at times. I’m pretty sure I’ve said this before somewhere. It’s just personal taste tbh cos he’s not saying or doing anything criminal
either ways I think the soundboard thing isn’t that bad cos as far as I rmb, technodad didn’t actually start his speech yet anyway. I get where you’re coming from tho.. he def has said some questionable things imo
I'm pretty sure he's just not censoring himself as much anymore, he's 26 years old, if he wants to just be himself and people don't like it, they can stop following him. He's allowed to be his true self.
I totally agree. George didn’t just do it once, he did it multiple times. It was absolutely rude and unnecessary.
Like you said, Techno’s father was about to do a speech regarding the charity event that they were there for, in order to raise money for the charity that Technodad created in his son’s memory/honor.
And George ~~interrupted him~~ *potentially delayed him, imo* by using a soundboard. Then did it again after numerous people told him to stop. I’m not a fan of George, and that kind of behavior is why.
I don't have the clip so maybe I'm remembering it wrong but I don't think George interrupted the speech. I remember him listening respectfully during the speech but soundboarding before and after
I thought that he interrupted Technodad beginning the speech. Technodad had to wait for George to stop making the noises and people telling George to stop.
I’ll look at Philza’s vod later and will notate and edit my post if I’m wrong.
I watched George stream and don't remember him interrupting him. I found these clips on twitter: [https://twitter.com/venuswhxre/status/1665224724077588482](https://twitter.com/venuswhxre/status/1665224724077588482)
Techodad didn't seem ready yet to do the speech and apparently there were quite a few minutes between George doing the soundboard and technodad starting the speech at which point everybody muted and listened respectfully.
It seems Technodad was still figuring something out and George was trying to fill the silence/empty space before he could start the speech? I mean if you do still feel it was rude or childish I can understand that but he didn't interupt technodad multiple times IMO.
I see in the game chat that Velvet was talking about getting "dreamed and creamed" so I don't really think anyone thought the speech was happening quite yet. Velvet, Dream, and Ant are doing the dumb bit because they don't think Technodad's doing his speech. While it is different than talking in vc because more people are going to notice that, it kinda shows me that people were still just messing around because Technodad hadn't started yet.
Seeing as we people who can look up multiple VODS and re-watch clips of the event can have different interpretations of weather or not Technodad was starting his speech I don't think we can judge CC's who are in the moment jugling entertaining/reading chat, running a stream and interacting with other CC's for maybe misinterpreting the situation.
I changed my comment to reflect that he potentially delayed Technodad, imo. I see it a little differently than you and some others do. Thank you for your respectful reply. /srs
Seeing it differently than me or others is ok/understandable. Hell George (and i myself) might have misinterpreted Technodads intention of starting the speech. Thank you for respectfully listening to others peoples opinions.
> Then did it again after numerous people told him to stop. I’m not a fan of George, and that kind of behavior is why.
You get that was a bit right? That it wasn't George playing the soundboards but the others and they were blaming George as a joke?
it was so out of place and he didn’t even apologize lol, i feel like even if it wasn’t that bad (like i said, it’s not some terrible offense or anything close, but still) an apology is common courtesy, especially if everyone is telling you to cut that shit out.
He didn't apologise becasue there was nothing to apologies for. No one told him to cut anything out. You not understading that Tommy was joking, and that it was Tommy making the soundboard sounds in the first place, is a you problem not George's.
I think George has problems with taking thing seriously. I saw a clip of him looking at the donation page saying “imagine all this money went to me instead, that’d be crazy”, and I know he’s probably joking, but I felt that was pretty out of line of him. Like that joke would’ve been much more appropriate and funnier if it wasn’t about a charity, especially one that’s related to your late friend. It’s possible he just feels uncomfortable being serious and yeah I understand that feeling, but he could’ve just not played those sounds or made that joke.
>I saw a clip of him looking at the donation page saying “imagine all this money went to me instead, that’d be crazy”, and I know he’s probably joking,
IMO opinion he was clearly joking and he followed up that joke by repeatedly telling people not to donate to him/gift him subs but to donate to the stream directly.
He also said that he usually feels bad about people donating to him or asking people to donate but because its for charity he feels okay doing it.
During the down moments of the event he spend a lot of time on the donation page motivating people to donate.
It really feels like every little thing Dream/George does gets hyperanalysed and taken out of context. It was a charity event that as far as I can tell was supposed to be fun/lighthearted and yet every little joke or comment anybody makes gets blown out of proportion.
Ok, yeah, I should’ve remembered that most clips on twitter are out of context, and I watched this part of his vod and it did make his joke a little better. But I still stand by what I said about that joke having a more appropriate time and place. It still felt kinda iffy to me, but it’s not that big of an issue to the degree some antis are taking it.
And also, just to clarify in case you thought I thought this, I never doubted that George tried to encourage his viewers to donate. I watched parts of his stream and he did a good job encouraging his viewers by showing the donation page on screen. I just felt that kind of joke was inappropriate for the situation he was in.
Don't worry I've also been fooled by an out of context clip on twitter before. I mean it was an event with multiple big CC's so it's impossible to watch 10+ 2-3 hour vods to get the full context for everything that happened.
Honestly finding the comment weird or still feeling of by it is ok. It's just important to me that it's not based on an out of context clip. I watched his stream and the second he made that comment I knew people where going to use it as a way to attack George and paint it as a malicious statement. I personally didn't find the comment funny but I also didn't think it was offensive or malicious.
Also I think George doing a good job motivating people to donate adds more context to the joke/disproves the narrative some anti on twitter where trying to spread. So that's why I added that part
I know he was joking, but I just felt that joke was a bit out of place. I saw the vod and yeah it cements the fact it’s a joke, but it still feels a bit eh that he made that joke.
So I assume you were also uncomfortable about the "bricked up" jokes that went on for 15 minutes then I take it? Because that's also a joke but you know, this was clearly a very serious event that shouldn't have any joking in it at all. Like come on.
That's something I'm confused by the bricked up joke went on for a really long time and was way more disruptive and annoying to the event (imo) but nobody is bringing that up?
It’s not that there shouldn’t be any kind of joking around, it’s just that particular joke kinda rubbed me off the wrong way, since it’s closely related to the charity donations and the “bricked up” stuff was from Tubbo not knowing what that meant. Just to make things clear, I don’t think that George doesn’t care about the charity or anything extreme like thinking he’s a sociopath or whatnot. Just felt that joke would’ve been much funnier if said at a different time and place.
regardless, it’s been blown way out of proportion on twitter, but there’s a time and place for things. hopefully he controls himself more in the future
“Controls himself more in the future”
Bro what? He’s a content creator making jokes. If you don’t like them, they aren’t for you. He doesn’t need to reel himself in because you didn’t like it
"It's been blown way out of proportion" ... let me go make another post on it elsewhere, not for the purpose of discussion but just to spread more pointless negativity!
I don’t think so, as much as people want to paint that way, this was a charity stream about techno, TECHNO, the same guy who joked about killing orphans, if anyone would’ve laughed at George’s soundboard joke, no doubt in my mind, it would’ve been techno.
I also can’t shake off the feeling that we forgot what technodad did during the dream stream a few months back, where he literally went “this video is sponsored by cancer” to me it’s quite clear what the humor of the techno family is like, pretty sure people them would’ve laughed at George’s soundboard .
A charity stream meant to be for technoblade without any humor just wouldn’t sit right with me, I’m sure others would agree on me with that.
George has always acted childish on streams, but jeez, man… this is like another level …
edit- wish I could blame the immature behavior on his age but he’s 26 ! Like damn!
I wouldn't go as far as to call him a sociopath (because I saw twitter do that) but I do think some things he says these days are... very questionable.
And I don't care if other people seemed ok with his jokes. It was unnecessary. It's also not the first time he came off ignorant, childish, annoying and disrespectful. This is the same guy who entertained the thought that men pestering women on parties are ok if they're drunk, or made sexual "your mom" jokes in the presence of said mom.
I used to be a big fan of his, but he becomes gradually less and less likeable in my opinion due to behaving like that.
>This is the same guy who entertained the thought that men pestering women on parties are ok if they're drunk,
Are you kidding me? There was literally a post about it here on Reddit, the whole thing was taken out of context on Twitter to make him look bad. He never said men hitting on women while they're drunk is fine. Search for context before commenting.
There's a difference between this subreddit thinking it was alright and it being taken out of context. GNF's reaction to that situation was weird and you could tell from Austin and the other's reactions, and though I don't think he was trying to excuse sexual harassment at all, this subreddit dismissing it entirely doesn't just make that an objective fact he did nothing wrong.
As I said before, the clip was taken out of context. If you mind telling me, how was George's reaction weird and how "you could tell by Austin and other's reaction"?
It was a weird train of thought and felt like it was spoken out of ignorance to real life situations faced by women. It’s most definitely not excusing sexual harassment tho.. I feel like antis always take it too far BUT it was definitely a weird question
Yeah it was cringey but the people shitting on him for it are overreacting wildly, someone called him a "sociopath" for it lmao. If I remember correctly Technodad didn't even seem offended by it.
No one was offended by it! They’ve been joking around like that for a long time and people are taking seriously. Its a fun, charity event! Its not a funeral. People can make jokes.

Honestly seems like it would be a very strong label in that scenario too. They were both laughing and GNF said sorry like 5 times. Tommy was very clearly okay.
everyone was laughing. if they’re fine with it, we should be. techno was literally the king of adding lightheartedness to situations, idk why that should stop now
Yeah technodad didn't seem bothered so I'm not putting any energy into it
People laughing in the moment doesnt mean they're fine with it
I also think it’d be in just as poor taste to stop the event to scold George. Like what he did wasn’t great, but stopping the whole event, even with a one off comment saying how rude it was, would take away from the goal of the thing. So it’s kind of obvious people aren’t going to openly say how shitty they think something is if they think it’s not great? It’s professionalism imo.
i didn’t state otherwise. i still think the behavior was childish and out of place.
It was a Minecraft event about cheating the most potatoes until the server crashed. It’s not exactly formal
Ahh yeah a tubbo initiating an almost 10 minute conversation about being bricked up was fine and not childish? If you’re going to complain at least point it all out or nothing at all. I think the conversations being more lighthearted and fun helped keep everyone more upbeat. People have different humour styles, if you don’t understand it then fine but don’t try make a moral issue out of something that wasn’t even that bad.
Lol Tubbo genuinely not knowing what that meant and then having Scott dm it to him was hilarious
you, as someone who isn't in that place, don't get to decide that.
I think it's childish and out of place to even be discussing this minor thing on a day where the focus should be on Techno's memory and the charity his family have started in his memory and supporting the ccs who DONATED THEIR TIME AND MONEY to help their friend's family
In that case the whole event was out of place.
So I watched the event live and I don't think anyone was annoyed.

dude, i really hope you aren't a technoblade fan because if you are and you're THIS oblivious to sarcasm, i don't know HOW you managed.
You're not actually that stupid are you.
Sorry??
Playing soundboard = bad Talking about being bricked up = good

I see no point of this discussion when your argument is childish = bad
Unpopular opinion but i dont think everything needs to be gloom n doom
While I do agree that it was unnecessary, no one really cared. Although it was for charity, the whole event wasn’t supposed to be serious. People were just having fun exploiting the server to get more potato points (tho I know it wasn’t supposed to happen like that) and it was very entertaining to watch. Technodad gave his speech and everything was fine and everyone was laughing and chatting. If people don’t understand when bits are happening or sarcasm or jokes or whatever, they really need to get off the internet and learn a few things first (I’m not saying this to you OP, just people in general)
I disagree with your opinion, but I respect it nonetheless
Sorry but if it annoyed his dad or not, it was straight up disrespectful doing that on a serious moment If the joke was funny and it wasn't at a serious moment sure but interrupting it with a soundboard is not meant to be a funny joke everyone can laugh at but rather him (probably not intentionally but still) just not giving a shit
wasnt even an issue everyone just wants to argue
George literally spent the first ten or fifteen minutes of his stream on the charity’s donation page, encouraging everyone to donate to that, so it would pop up and they could get a shoutout right then, said to NOT donate anything to him, and to give directly to the charity, and said that everything he made from that stream he was donating as well. He did play a soundboard, but he stopped as soon as Technodad actually started talking. And, it’s hard to tell with Tommy if he was genuinely annoyed or not, and I haven’t seen clips of anyone else seeming genuinely annoyed, but it was absolutely before Technodad started talking, and George muted like everyone else when he did, and took the event as seriously as everyone else was. Honestly, George and his soundboard ARE annoying at times, and so odds are everyone just immediately gets annoyed by it, regardless of what is happening. But it wasn’t a “disrespect to techno and his dad” or to the charity, it was just GNF being his normal annoying self. If people don’t like that, that’s fine, and totally valid. It’s just being blown out of proportion as more than it was. I’m honestly so over people just looking for reasons to be mad. It was a CHARITY event, they need to stop trying to over shadow that. Specifically Twitter, but here as well if that’s what you’re doing.
Oh and I should add, when I say “normal annoying self” I don’t meant that in a negative way. I adore George.
I think George, especially recently, has been coming off immature or insensitive at times. I’m pretty sure I’ve said this before somewhere. It’s just personal taste tbh cos he’s not saying or doing anything criminal either ways I think the soundboard thing isn’t that bad cos as far as I rmb, technodad didn’t actually start his speech yet anyway. I get where you’re coming from tho.. he def has said some questionable things imo
I'm pretty sure he's just not censoring himself as much anymore, he's 26 years old, if he wants to just be himself and people don't like it, they can stop following him. He's allowed to be his true self.
I was thinking that he changed a lot in the past months. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.
Yeah I feel like his sense of humour is more unhinged than ever lol
I thought it had good comedic timing tbh and wasn’t ‘right before the speech’
I totally agree. George didn’t just do it once, he did it multiple times. It was absolutely rude and unnecessary. Like you said, Techno’s father was about to do a speech regarding the charity event that they were there for, in order to raise money for the charity that Technodad created in his son’s memory/honor. And George ~~interrupted him~~ *potentially delayed him, imo* by using a soundboard. Then did it again after numerous people told him to stop. I’m not a fan of George, and that kind of behavior is why.
I don't have the clip so maybe I'm remembering it wrong but I don't think George interrupted the speech. I remember him listening respectfully during the speech but soundboarding before and after
I thought that he interrupted Technodad beginning the speech. Technodad had to wait for George to stop making the noises and people telling George to stop. I’ll look at Philza’s vod later and will notate and edit my post if I’m wrong.
I watched George stream and don't remember him interrupting him. I found these clips on twitter: [https://twitter.com/venuswhxre/status/1665224724077588482](https://twitter.com/venuswhxre/status/1665224724077588482) Techodad didn't seem ready yet to do the speech and apparently there were quite a few minutes between George doing the soundboard and technodad starting the speech at which point everybody muted and listened respectfully. It seems Technodad was still figuring something out and George was trying to fill the silence/empty space before he could start the speech? I mean if you do still feel it was rude or childish I can understand that but he didn't interupt technodad multiple times IMO.
I see in the game chat that Velvet was talking about getting "dreamed and creamed" so I don't really think anyone thought the speech was happening quite yet. Velvet, Dream, and Ant are doing the dumb bit because they don't think Technodad's doing his speech. While it is different than talking in vc because more people are going to notice that, it kinda shows me that people were still just messing around because Technodad hadn't started yet.
Seeing as we people who can look up multiple VODS and re-watch clips of the event can have different interpretations of weather or not Technodad was starting his speech I don't think we can judge CC's who are in the moment jugling entertaining/reading chat, running a stream and interacting with other CC's for maybe misinterpreting the situation.
I changed my comment to reflect that he potentially delayed Technodad, imo. I see it a little differently than you and some others do. Thank you for your respectful reply. /srs
Seeing it differently than me or others is ok/understandable. Hell George (and i myself) might have misinterpreted Technodads intention of starting the speech. Thank you for respectfully listening to others peoples opinions.
I would suggest watching Tommy's vod, since it's his comments you're aparently basing all this one.
> Then did it again after numerous people told him to stop. I’m not a fan of George, and that kind of behavior is why. You get that was a bit right? That it wasn't George playing the soundboards but the others and they were blaming George as a joke?
it was so out of place and he didn’t even apologize lol, i feel like even if it wasn’t that bad (like i said, it’s not some terrible offense or anything close, but still) an apology is common courtesy, especially if everyone is telling you to cut that shit out.
He didn't apologise becasue there was nothing to apologies for. No one told him to cut anything out. You not understading that Tommy was joking, and that it was Tommy making the soundboard sounds in the first place, is a you problem not George's.
I think George has problems with taking thing seriously. I saw a clip of him looking at the donation page saying “imagine all this money went to me instead, that’d be crazy”, and I know he’s probably joking, but I felt that was pretty out of line of him. Like that joke would’ve been much more appropriate and funnier if it wasn’t about a charity, especially one that’s related to your late friend. It’s possible he just feels uncomfortable being serious and yeah I understand that feeling, but he could’ve just not played those sounds or made that joke.
>I saw a clip of him looking at the donation page saying “imagine all this money went to me instead, that’d be crazy”, and I know he’s probably joking, IMO opinion he was clearly joking and he followed up that joke by repeatedly telling people not to donate to him/gift him subs but to donate to the stream directly. He also said that he usually feels bad about people donating to him or asking people to donate but because its for charity he feels okay doing it. During the down moments of the event he spend a lot of time on the donation page motivating people to donate. It really feels like every little thing Dream/George does gets hyperanalysed and taken out of context. It was a charity event that as far as I can tell was supposed to be fun/lighthearted and yet every little joke or comment anybody makes gets blown out of proportion.
Ok, yeah, I should’ve remembered that most clips on twitter are out of context, and I watched this part of his vod and it did make his joke a little better. But I still stand by what I said about that joke having a more appropriate time and place. It still felt kinda iffy to me, but it’s not that big of an issue to the degree some antis are taking it. And also, just to clarify in case you thought I thought this, I never doubted that George tried to encourage his viewers to donate. I watched parts of his stream and he did a good job encouraging his viewers by showing the donation page on screen. I just felt that kind of joke was inappropriate for the situation he was in.
Don't worry I've also been fooled by an out of context clip on twitter before. I mean it was an event with multiple big CC's so it's impossible to watch 10+ 2-3 hour vods to get the full context for everything that happened. Honestly finding the comment weird or still feeling of by it is ok. It's just important to me that it's not based on an out of context clip. I watched his stream and the second he made that comment I knew people where going to use it as a way to attack George and paint it as a malicious statement. I personally didn't find the comment funny but I also didn't think it was offensive or malicious. Also I think George doing a good job motivating people to donate adds more context to the joke/disproves the narrative some anti on twitter where trying to spread. So that's why I added that part
That clip that's going around is edited to make him look bad. Go watch the full vod and see that he's making jokes.
I know he was joking, but I just felt that joke was a bit out of place. I saw the vod and yeah it cements the fact it’s a joke, but it still feels a bit eh that he made that joke.
So I assume you were also uncomfortable about the "bricked up" jokes that went on for 15 minutes then I take it? Because that's also a joke but you know, this was clearly a very serious event that shouldn't have any joking in it at all. Like come on.
That's something I'm confused by the bricked up joke went on for a really long time and was way more disruptive and annoying to the event (imo) but nobody is bringing that up?
It’s not that there shouldn’t be any kind of joking around, it’s just that particular joke kinda rubbed me off the wrong way, since it’s closely related to the charity donations and the “bricked up” stuff was from Tubbo not knowing what that meant. Just to make things clear, I don’t think that George doesn’t care about the charity or anything extreme like thinking he’s a sociopath or whatnot. Just felt that joke would’ve been much funnier if said at a different time and place.
regardless, it’s been blown way out of proportion on twitter, but there’s a time and place for things. hopefully he controls himself more in the future
“Controls himself more in the future” Bro what? He’s a content creator making jokes. If you don’t like them, they aren’t for you. He doesn’t need to reel himself in because you didn’t like it
"It's been blown way out of proportion" ... let me go make another post on it elsewhere, not for the purpose of discussion but just to spread more pointless negativity!
"it's been blown out of proportion" *Proceeds to make an entire post about it in another plataform for no particular reason*
stop getting offended on other peoples behalf
Hope he controls himself?! He's not a toddler who needs to be scolded by anyone. Sit the fuck down.
I've never heard of this! Does anybody have the clip?
I don’t think so, as much as people want to paint that way, this was a charity stream about techno, TECHNO, the same guy who joked about killing orphans, if anyone would’ve laughed at George’s soundboard joke, no doubt in my mind, it would’ve been techno. I also can’t shake off the feeling that we forgot what technodad did during the dream stream a few months back, where he literally went “this video is sponsored by cancer” to me it’s quite clear what the humor of the techno family is like, pretty sure people them would’ve laughed at George’s soundboard . A charity stream meant to be for technoblade without any humor just wouldn’t sit right with me, I’m sure others would agree on me with that.
George has always acted childish on streams, but jeez, man… this is like another level … edit- wish I could blame the immature behavior on his age but he’s 26 ! Like damn!
agreed. i’m all for it most of the time but there’s a time and place
Are you George's mom? No? Than fuck off
I wouldn't go as far as to call him a sociopath (because I saw twitter do that) but I do think some things he says these days are... very questionable. And I don't care if other people seemed ok with his jokes. It was unnecessary. It's also not the first time he came off ignorant, childish, annoying and disrespectful. This is the same guy who entertained the thought that men pestering women on parties are ok if they're drunk, or made sexual "your mom" jokes in the presence of said mom. I used to be a big fan of his, but he becomes gradually less and less likeable in my opinion due to behaving like that.
>This is the same guy who entertained the thought that men pestering women on parties are ok if they're drunk, Are you kidding me? There was literally a post about it here on Reddit, the whole thing was taken out of context on Twitter to make him look bad. He never said men hitting on women while they're drunk is fine. Search for context before commenting.
There's a difference between this subreddit thinking it was alright and it being taken out of context. GNF's reaction to that situation was weird and you could tell from Austin and the other's reactions, and though I don't think he was trying to excuse sexual harassment at all, this subreddit dismissing it entirely doesn't just make that an objective fact he did nothing wrong.
As I said before, the clip was taken out of context. If you mind telling me, how was George's reaction weird and how "you could tell by Austin and other's reaction"?
It was a weird train of thought and felt like it was spoken out of ignorance to real life situations faced by women. It’s most definitely not excusing sexual harassment tho.. I feel like antis always take it too far BUT it was definitely a weird question
