You've had a real interesting series of posts about this whole situation. Your first contributions to this thread, ever, are to accuse Nick's friends of being disloyal and say the accusations as specious, and because you haven't seen any cold hard proof you dismiss the whole discussion as SJW-call-out-culture-twitter-mob-virtual-signaling bullshit. Then when a victim does present proof, you argue nothing improper happened, everyone's upset over bullshit, and dismiss any suggestion that any power dynamics could be involved in interactions between Nick and his fans. And when he's fired and admits he did something wrong, you've moved on to making GBS threads on the people who aren't lining up to shower him with hugs and smiles over his cruddy apology.

Like, are you just finding out that shooting "send nudes" at random teenagers is not an acceptable method of flirting? Is that why you're mad?

Griffin's absolute horror at the idea of eating in bed was really funny, especially when Rachel shyly chimed in that actually, before she was with him, she'd eaten in bed.

Man, tea in bed in the morning is one of the great pleasures of life.

Then again the adventurezone would not be good with Nick in it so...

Nick's life may be ruined over this, which seems a little harsh for the crime of forcing upon his victims the unimaginable horror of reading and then dismissing some mildly skeevy private messages. This would have gone a lot better if he was just told to stop that garbage in private rather than involving the entire internet.

he sexually harassed multiple people, apparently over a very long period of time, including trying to get nudes/sex from at least one underaged person. Like, I don't think he should be branded in the face or whatever but he probably needed to be removed from that environment yes.

Because this fandom and section of Twitter, good intentioned as they almost always are, are caught in a loop of trying to show how mad they are instead of, again, offering shows of support to victims.

E: Not necessarily talking about the verified accounts/ people with personal ties to Nick, but the endless armchair analysts shouting into the void over and over.

So I have seen a bunch of people mention that one of the victims in the Nick Robinson Saga was underage; I don't recall where that assertion originated. Is there reason to believe that is the case? Big if true.
