What must it be like to be one of the legit CIG employees - like a texture artist or something - and to come into work the Monday after a weekend like this?

Those are the real victims.

The thing is, we're looking at it from the outside, with an admittedly distorted perspective.

It's likely that this coming Monday will be just like any typical Monday: that texture artist will go to work at his lovely company working alongside a disgusting fat pervert and will probably have to redo his art at least five times before his boss accepts it.

Nothing has changed.

I'm honestly surprised at the number of Goons who expect that this will be the turning point that breaks CIG. The shitizens will probably only rally more fervently in defense of Ben, because he truly is one of them. CIG has weathered arguably much more damning accusations (remember The Escapist?) against the CEO and Vice President of Marketing no less.

I hadn't really touched a bass properly for something like 7 years and then I had two gigs with my old cover band within six months of each other and I went insane practising about 20 songs every day for a year and had to learn how to sing again. But it got me back to music, thank god.

Yeah - I'm sure they're used to it by now.

But I can't be the only one. Reading the descriptions of the culture and circumstances there - doesn't that bring to mind the cartoon/movie scenario of the arch-villain who beats up his own minions whenever things go badly? That's totally this. You don't want to be one of those legit CIG minions - especially on days like this coming Monday.

So let me post some of the defenses we're getting to Ben-ghazi:

1. It was a long time ago.

Sure, but not THAT long ago.

2. He was a high school teenager, we all said/did dumb stuff as a teen. (this one seems very popular)

False. He was not in high school, he was in his mid 20's. Maybe even older.

3. It was just some jokes, calm down and let it go.

Ok, I get it. One, two, maybe even three pedophile rape jokes/racist screeds/etc I could see that. But dozens? Hundreds? Nope.


It's easy for the non-initiated to take any of these defenses and just go: "Sure, whatever" and move on. That's why we should do our duty and post the best, most offensive Ben quotes whenever we get a chance.

I believe in you goons. :hfive:

Lol, the unironic pro-Hitler guy comments in Ben's reddit thread have changed to
