I posted this in the VA thread but I feel this is such B.S. , that it needs to get a little more exposed than just in there.  Show your support for our favorite Geth's voice actor.

Thats ****ed up, those guys were ****s for harassing him like that. Hope they get put in their place.

However, how the firing of a voice over actor constitutes a Tea Party success remains a mystery, as Mr. Douglas points out. "It seems to me that they're more about the politics of destruction than they are about affecting positive change for the country."

They will exterminate your beliefs because their gods tell them to. You cannot negotiate with them. They do not share your pity, remorse or fear.

This behavior reminded me of the following quote:

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.
H.L. Mencken

I just hope that EA / BioWare show more backbone if they ever come calling for to change Legions voice.

Alright they've crossed the line. I've been rooting for the tea party (although I think most of them are underinformed, but I agree with them that there needs to be less government). But once something ****s with Mass Effect in anyway, they've gone too far.

[Kikaimegami]

That is complete and utter bull****. I don't even know what to say. I read the entire article with my jaw dangling at how idiotic it all is.

Once I read that the Teabaggers (hehe... I still chuckle at that misinformed name) were involved, I went into angry cat mode, but politics aside - is there something we can do as a mean, crazy ass geek mob? As in re-harass GEICO in to hiring him back?

If it works for one retarded mob to get him fired, can an educated mob unfire him?

[janeym27]

That is just... sad. On so many levels. Not to mention really, really stupid. I don't quite get how that has anything to do with any campaign: seems like a vicious waste of energy to me.

[Kikaimegami]

I'd be willing to try. *joins Texaboose's angry mob*

[Mondo47]

I'm not shocked in the slightest... I'm all for people having the choice of where they put their vote, who leads their country, who makes their laws, etc. but when some of them won't be happy until certain people that don't fit their conception of morality are rounded up into the shower blocks or people with different skin colours are back where they think they belong on their side of the bus, then allowing such moral mutants near any kind of power (other than the kind that comes from the end of a cattle prod jabbed into their genitals) is irresponsible in the extreme.

It's amazing how many people think democracy means "Everybody has to do things my way!!"

This is what happens when government/civics classes are cut from high school curriculums, or parents are allowed to homeschool children.

I think Humanity is in desperate need of a good old fashioned Dark Age.

Not sure I agree with that, since reactionary people tend to do quite well in dark ages (being stuck there all ready).

Anyway if there is a dark age I propose that we move the start of it too at least few months after the release of Mass Effect 3. So we can at least play it, praise it, complain about it, speculate about Me4 and finally mememefy it.

And yes, I joke in this serous thread about a serious event because let's face it, what those nincompoops did is far more ridiculous than anything anybody can write here.

(and that is not a challenge btw)

I agree that the Teabaggers are ridiculous. They're just.. insane or something.

 The vast majority of them are ignorant racists and homophobes. They claim to protest taxation (specifically Obama's tax reforms) but most can't even answer simple true/false questions correctly when their knowledge is tested. It's like South Park in real life.

As someone who was home educated, I disagree. (I'm in university doing classics, Ancient History specifically.)

The problem is (from what I can tell of the US system, since I'm UK) that the lobby groups have too much power; as shown in this example, you don't tow their line, they just use their influence to make you suffer consequences.

And they can't spell worth a damn on their protest signs.

If you're in UK the above doesn't apply to you. Of course there are exceptions, but in the USA "home schooled" is often a euphemism for paranoid ignorant right wingers yanking their kids out of public schools (aka liberal indoctrination camps) and instructing them in nothing but the Bible and firearm operation.

Then you mean relegious home teaching. Never understood why you americans just can't call a shovel a shovel.

[Onyx Jaguar]

That is just how Home Schooling is applied here. For the most part that is one of the attractive possibilities to that demographic.

I meant precisely what I said, nothing more nothing less.
