Making a joke at my own expense shouldn't cause an uproar.

A. This isn't the first time you've said something of this nature in recent times.

B. Even as a joke, it's in poor taste, so I wholeheartedly understand why people are bothered by it.

A. And between these two instances I was called "left wing" because I am against the Austrian burqa ban law.

B. It only comes across as poor taste if people don't understand the full scope. Satirical humor comes with the catch that it balances on the line of being offensive and highlighting actual problems. You can look at my post as being plain racist or you can look at it from the angle that many people are really like that, but would never admit it. I do understand why people are bothered by it, but it's worth thinking about what I post beyond the surface level.

Rol, that was really uncalled for. Not that you label it as satirical humor, you mark everyone who doesn't get it as ignorant. So, your justification makes it even worse :/ 

You really derailed the thread. And I even contributed to it now. 

 

I completely agree with you guys. But if you think you are gonna make him listen to you, I'm afraid you've got another thing commin'.

Anyway, back to topic, ReviewTechUSA is awesome, don't get what people in this topic got against him. I don't always agree with him, but at least he is always honest, unbiased, fair and able to admit a mistake, which are the things I value the most in a person, then it is a lot less important if I agree with him (certain people should learn from this).

It is true though that he was really concerned about the Switch before launch, I don't think he has really realized yet how much his opinion has changed since then. But even back then he had videos praising the marketing and the form factor.
