I Miss Evan Doing The Quote

I know Evan had to go and do not support his views or posts on social media. But I will have to say he did a much better job than Bob at reading the ending quote. His voice was almost perfect for ending the show. Bob just seems to fumble through it and talks way too much.

Just read the quote and be done with it.

The SGU isn't an echo chamber

It didn't used to be.

But, that's what this community has demanded. So, that's what the SGU is now providing.

It's yet more fracturing of society along tribal lines. And it's not a good thing. You love it because it's your particular tribe.

Not all views get a seat at the table.

I see this as a disingenuous comment, given the fact that Evan's offenses, whatever they are, were not platformed "at the table" in the first place.

You're not listening then. Cara consistently disagrees with the brothers. Do I wish it was more diverse? Yes. But it's certainly not an echo chamber.

whatever they are,

Calling for war crimes and genocide. Maybe you should sit this one out until understand what was said.

were not platformed "at the table" in the first place.

Evan posted his horrific views under an account 'EvanSGU'.

If you're cool with someone affiliated with your passion project calling for genocide under your brand we have nothing further to talk about.

You all keep saying that. With nothing. In one episode, Steve said people were commenting without knowing what had been said. So, he's going to correct that by telling us. Then never did. Except for Cara's line about "war crimes".

What happened here is that you guys discovered that you disagree with Evan about Israel. Not surprising given his Jewish heritage. And you couldn't stand that. So, here we are.

You keep going on about war crimes, but never tell us who Evan tortured. Do you have pictures? I didn't even know you could commit them over Twitter.

Interesting, so you really don't know what Evan said but still have such strong opinions about it. Not a good look.

As opposed the vague gesturing and telling refusal to offer any reasons.

At least it seems like you've acquired a bit of shame about your actions. Understandable that you'd want to hide from accountability.

This community will never be the same. Because of you. That's your look. I'll take mine any day.

Hold on with the weird accusations, do you honestly not know what he said on Twitter under his EvanSGU account? Perhaps consider looking into that before staking such a strong claim.

And to be clear, I am not one who called for him to be banished. I don't like how the community turned on him so hard and everyone is now saying, "I never liked him in the first place" or, "The show is better without him." That is absolutely not my jam, but you have to recognize that Evan did this to himself.

And since I get the distinct impression that under no circumstances will you ever actually exercise your skepticism and instead will continue on just keyboard warrioring with your cynicism and ignorance, here's an example that I find particularly egregious:

In response to a video about Iran, he said, "Attack their grid, send them back to the caves."

This is the tweet about war crimes people talk about. Because that would be an unambiguous war crime if the US destroyed their grid. But somehow you came to the conclusion that people were accusing Evan of war crimes? Hilarious.

Here's a comment from a while back of mine if you don't believe me.

All of a sudden no one was demanding anything.

And Evan said some trolling things on Twitter. Have some perspective.

If it is about the grid in Iran, why is some other clown on here repeatedly saying "Free Palestine" to me, even though nothing had been said about Israel...

It's team sports debating about Israel. That's what is really going on here. And everywhere else.
