You know I only gave a fuck about the game awards because I wanted to see God of War Ragnarok fans seeth when their game lost to Elden Ring, but waking up to see this fucking kid has been an absolute delight.
I was following the sticky thread on /v/ when this happened and I don't think I've ever seen /v/ collectively happier than they were last night.

I can kind of understand why they see it as a potential security risk. They don't want copycats thinking anyone can just walk up on stage and interrupt the show, and they want to guarantee the safety of people in the audience. If someone had really wanted to hurt a presenter or winner, they could have.
I hate this excuse.

Unless they do away with the live audience entirely and isolate each person in separate booths on a soundstage, someone can hurt anyone at an event like this if they wanted to. No amount of security will prevent a motivated attacker intent on causing harm.

If they want to hire competent personnel to vet every person trying to walk on-stage, good for them. But Christ, a little levity never hurt anyone and trying to clamp down hard on security to try to prevent this kind of harmless silliness will only make it less enjoyable for everyone involved ... and it won't do a damned thing to stop the antics anyway.

Reminds me of airport security theater, in fact. Air travel safety hasn't changed one bit since the 80's, but it sure is a hell of a lot more aggravating to get to the fucking airplane than it used to be.

*ALWAYS* with that damn AGP smirk. Never fails.
It's that "I'm totally getting away with this because nobody can say anything" smirk. It's their biggest tell.

I saw people claiming this kid was linked to InfoWars on Twitter and decided to investigate. Found this clip of a kid called Matan Even, which sounds like the same name our guy utters at the start of his speech (Hey, Matan!). This was his Twitter account (@matanevenoff), his latest video is form March 2021. He has a very similar hairstyle but in my opinion, he looks more than one year younger than the TGA kid.

Thoughts?
Matan Even just changed his twitter profile picture to a picture of the rabbi guy and posted the clip of him speaking at the awards.

I think they really are the same guy and Matan just grew a lot in the 20 months since we last saw him.
They grow up so fast these days.

If so, I guess since the rabbi guy is using twitter, he hasn't been put in jail or anything.


Also, I don't think he said "Hey, Matan", he said "Hey, my turn". Why would he say his own name?


Twitter already sperging about the kid being an infowars antisemite nadsi or something. Despite being that shade of skin color.
Hard Drive got in on it and made an article calling him a racist antisemite.

Didn't watch it, just a bunch of West Coast self-sucking. The only good thing about it was the legendary Bill Clint_n.

You really didn't miss much besides a couple cool trailers and niggers in fucking everything.
 
It was pretty obvious the kid was Jewish. I saw an argument that just because he’s wearing Yeezy’s means he CAN’T possibly be. Because you know, every Jewish person is gonna sell their Yeezy’s after what Kanye said. People wanted to believe this kid was a “4chan Nazi Groyper” so hard.
They just can't accept that people can and will have fun at their expense and their bitching about it makes it even funnier
