Title: John Bain (Aka Totalbiscuit) has passed away [READ OP]

Reason: User banned (1 week): Inflammatory analogy. Those who want to discuss gun control after a shooting are not attempting to criticize the deceased.

"It's too early to discuss gun control" "It's too early to discuss toxicity in the gaming community" Cancer being as awful as it is does not preclude a discussion of Totalbiscuit's actions (anti-Romani rhetoric, transphobia, harassing several people, including one time where he told someone to get cancer and die, etc.) nor does it make it inappropriate for one to reflect on their legacy, what the results of their actions cause. See also: Cancer taking Rob Ford doesn't erase the damage he dealt to Toronto, Ontario and Canada in general nor does it make those that point out the consequences inappropriate for doing so. Condolence to his family, in any case. To reiterate: Cancer sucks.
