Quick community update: This weekend we received a video from an anonymous source with a protest on behalf of the Mexicans. What was weird about the whole thing was that they didn't want to discuss it with us, hear a counterpoint, or note or recognize our various public apologies via email, youtube comments, and on our site. My dad always said that if you have a problem with somebody, you talk to them. Think this person was raised to launch a PR campaign and hide from people that offended them? My ass.
Something was up.
The YouTube profile had been recently set up and the video also contained instructions to stop visiting Destructoid. For these reasons, it seemed to be an opportunistic slander campaign more than a real concern. So! To flush the person out I claimed that we made the video to diffuse the video as a fake promo for the show. We said there was no protest and were responsible, and laughed it off as us being idiots and waited two days. Still no complaint or response. Hmmm. Yeah she's really concerned about Mexicans, I'm sure.
Obviously, nobody came forward. Meanwhile, on another Podtoid I almost convinced Nex that I made a brief cameo in Scarface on the Mariel Cuban boat flotilla. Yeah, huge racists here. What's more true is that we laugh at our differences and we're a big international family here with and gave Yobs to writers from India, France, and Germany. Kevin Cortez and Teksuo are black. Hell, we even let women, colored people, and polar bears vote in our polls. My last name is Gonzalez, capisch? ¡Me cago frijoles colorados en la sangre de tu madre!*
So in the end, we hope we drove away some uber-sensitive soccer moms and cowards. We really don't care. We do Destructoid for fun and we know we're not hurting anybody. Putting up that stupid hateful video did more damage and seperated more people than it did good.
At Destructoid, we firmly believe in international insemination, and whomever Kimberly205 needs to come down to Miami for an overdue drink.
In other news, I'm glad we're not the only ones under fire. Here's the joke of the week: Have you seen the www.aoljoystiq.com redesign? It's NSFW!
