Agreed. The Star Citizen fan community is full of normal, well adjusted people and someone creepy, obssessive and stalkerlike is a terrible choice to represent their community:

I'm not defending Ben's actions. I'm just annoyed by the fact that people are trying to link this to Chris and his company when no such connection exists.

Are we sure he was working there and not just attending the school as a student?

I mean, he was only in his mid-20's at the time.

i feel like ive missed so much here - why is it that this game that has missed every deadline it's ever had and is clearly never going to release with half the features promised has become a religion to idiots?

dont people that are continually lied to eventually figure it out somehow??

You should really watch what you say about DEREK SMART. It wouldn't be good if DEREK SMART knew people where talking about him. DEREK SMART gets upset about that kind of thing.

Somewhere like 30 thousand posts back in the games thread a guy did an awesome comic thing about the 4th stimpire but I have no idea how to find it.

edit: the Fourth Stimpire is also going to be a faction in the game Toops is making, Solar Plebian.

that 4th stimpire thing is really cool.. it's like if someone mixed 1984 with the porn I watch

Ben Lesnick is the original community manager for Cloud Imperium Games. He is the face of the company, with more on-screen time on a weekly basis than anyone including Chris Roberts and his wife Sandi (who is also the head of marketing). He is personally responsible for creating one of the most toxic, cult-like, insular gaming communities on the planet. A community that aggressively attacks anyone who disagrees with their perspective that Star Citizen is the greatest game ever made. It doesn't matter if that person is new to the game, has been around for years and grown disillusioned, or a beloved web personality who is also a victim of cancer. Ben currently listed as a game developer, the director of community engagement, and also the director of starships. During his time at Cloud Imperium Games he has developed a reputation for habitually lying, particularly when doing so opens up the possibility of escaping controversy. We see the same behavior now as he tries to pass off a lie that is easily disproved. There is little reason to believe that the person he was in 2008 is significantly different from the person he is in 2016. His words certainly hold no bearing, except to validate that the statements are his.

Holy poo poo, where did you people dig this up from? I was one of LOAF's friends way back then and it's really weird to see our ancient in-jokes becoming a thing.

I want to bang Misty. #17,033

I want to catch all the Pokemon fish, so Misty will notice me. "Oh, my", she'll say, "your Waillord is so big." Then, with the help of the glass-making guy, I'll give her my pink rod. #21,635

And they get to have sex with thirteen year olds all the time. Instead of once or twice a month. #21,244

Why don't you come with me, little girl, on a magic carpet ride? #18,734

Wow, Hades, do you try to pursue homosexual relations with children age 8-13 too? #7,673

Children have nudity... #9,621

Legions of children worldwide are having sex with 40 year old men. #14,178

It's funny, oh, you need the e-mail he sent me when I revealed that he posted to alt.sex.children #14,747

On the same day he posted a message to alt.sex.children commenting that a previously posted story "got me hotter than hell, post some more man!!!" #14,726

It's all super innocent, we were just a bunch of weirdo Wing Commander IRC babies with too much time on our hands, we had lots of time saved up from not dating to come up with really dumb in-jokes that just sort of perpetuated themselves. We had a rule that we had to say "shields up!" whenever Brooke Shields came on TV so we started saying it in the late 1990s, then it became the 2000s, and now here we are in 2016 and just a few days ago by force of habit I said "shields up" because I thought I saw Brooke Shields on TV.
This is all intensely stupid and that weird kind of innocent bullshit that comes from a bunch of weirdos with nothing better to do than try to make each other laugh. Like a vaguely-Wing Commander-themed FYAD before there were the SA forums.

noone's saying he was dead serious when he said that poo poo, or that the context isn't missing

we're saying that there's no way that these can cover up serious trends of racism and pedophilia in humor
