And by respond, I mean that he said "there was a conversation, I just didn't tell you all because his mom died", but then doesn't actually specify if he's still around or not, only that he thinks it's very clear they were jokes and that people should stop talking about it, and now people are sucking Arin's dick HARDCORE in the comments and attacking anyone who's questioning if he's actually fired by downplaying the problem that "people are firing Ben over thumbnails", while simultaneously asking Arin what the context actually is behind the Tweet.
He couldn't even half-ass being SILENT about it. AND THEN HE HALF-ASSED HIS OWN BLURB ON TWITTER AND DIDN'T EVEN ADDRESS THE PROBLEM THAT THE TIKTOKER WAS 14 WHEN THIS STARTED AND THAT IT WAS GOING ON FOR YEARS!
EDIT: RantGrumps is acting weirdly receptive to it too, justifying it by saying that the comments were fine "because they were happening even before he started working at Game Grumps", while also complimenting how Arin's one of "the good ones".
