May he rest in peace.

It's over. What a fucking journy. I hope only the best for his family.

My condolences to his family.

Honestly fucking gutted about this. I knew he wasn't long for the world but I wasn't expecting this to happen so soon after that final update. I wish the best for Genna and the rest of his family.

Godspeed, my brother.

This . . . this hurts.

It first hit me when kitty0706 died, and I still don't know how to respond. I forget just how easy it is to disassociate content creators like himself from reality until it's too late, and it hits a spot in my heart that I thought was reserved for the "real world".

Rest In Peace, you will be missed.

I didn't agree with a lot of his opinions, but there's no doubting how much of an influence he's had on the gaming journalist industry.

RIP

I feel like the internet lost something big today, I never watched TB's videos but he had an unmistakable presence on the net that won't be replaced anytime soon unfortunately

RIP

Not really gaming journalist industry but I'd argue just gaming industry in general. He was somewhat like the Upton Sinclair of Gaming. fuck I didn't even like him myself but I'd generally agree with what you said.

RIP TotalBiscuit.

No matter if you disliked him or found his views opposite to your own, wishing death on somebody is unacceptable. R.I.P John Bain

Just a reminder that John Bain himself wished death from cancer to others in twitter. Twice.

A buddy of mine said that personal differences over every conceivable concept are part of humanity since the dawn of existence but the concept of death has a universal respect in all cultures, ideologies, and religions.

Regardless of how any of us view TB as a game critic or with politics and the like, we all pay our respects and we also see this whole grave-dancing people are doing to be very unacceptable.

Much as TB told a guy to get cancer, there's also this:

TB regretted being an ass to the guy and on that same note, the guy he told to get cancer basically says "screw you guys" to anyone that can't let go of the cancer thing.

This is sad :/ I saw him last year a momocon and was wondering if he'd make it this year, but guess not :/

While doing a quick Twitter search isn't showing any sort of resolution between Haley and Biscuit, I will just say this in regards to the second tweet: Who the hell knows what that escalated from and even then, it's nearly ten years old that at some point TB regretted making the post and could no doubt changed from back then. This isn't some attempt at whitewashing the bad things he said but rather is acknowledging possibilities that could of occurred time after he told a guy to get cancer.

If people really think this is all a circlejerk that's trying to "conveniently" forget the dickish attitude TB had, it's not. We're simply just paying respects to the guy, we're not propping him up as a saint and those of us that see people dancing over his grave we're simply getting rather disgusted at.

C'mon guys, please don't let this thread end up like the previous one.

I'll just leave it here:

He was prideful, of course. But I’ve noticed it hat all lot of people who claim to be trying to prevent people from whitewashing his legacy seem to try their damndest to do the opposite. Jut because someone’s dead doesn’t mean you have to remind people of every mistake they made in life.

It's not like everyone here really didn't know TB was abrasive or was disliked by anti-SJW's. The point of this thread is pretty much just paying respect. If you want to post these images as part of an opinion, you're likely better off doing it in the gallery on the TotalBiscuit page.

I kind of fail to see what is wrong about it.
How he ran his channel was his choice and whoever didn't like it could always unsub.
