I think we can pretty easily figure out what he’s like.

I don’t think the dude who gets into fights and sexually abuses women needs us projecting to make him look bad on the day he calls a fake bomb threat while drunk.

"Stop speculating on the personality of the violent rapist who called in a bomb threat, that's what a mob does"

I don't get what his endgame here was.

A woman pisses him off, so he tells the police she has a bomb. Obviously they're not going to find a bomb.

And he reported a bomb on a different train.

I want to imagine (sorry starkebn if this offends you) that he was trying to report the woman he was arguing with as having a bomb to gently caress up her day, but was so drunk that he forgot which train he was on.

That honestly sounds like the most plausible motivation, but what exactly was going through his booze-addled and missing a chunk brain I have no clue.

Since we’re sticking to cinema in particular, this wouldn’t be the place to discuss the recent dark turn of the Channel Awesome debacle, right? Is there any sub forum talking about this?

(Quick version for the unaware: Channel Awesome is a content aggregator site most well known for hosting The Nostalgia Critic, Linkara and other similar reviewers. Recently a bunch of their former and resigning contributors got together to create a huge Google Doc detailing their exploitation at the hands of management and their terrible CEO. Part of said document included a testimony from an anonymous producer claiming she had been groomed by one of the other producers while she was barely legal at the time and management did nothing. Said management, in their bad attempts at damage control released some badly censored chats detailing how they fired the person in question. Internet sleuths looked at the dates and badly covered up names and fingered the perpetrator as Justin "JewWario" Carmical, a former contributor who committed suicide seemingly out of nowhere one year after leaving the site. Seeing the cat out of the bag, other former CA producers confirmed this to be the case.)

I apologize for derailing the thread with gamer poo poo, but yeah - Yahtzee has done multiple Let’s Play videos with IMC, and in 2014 when Gamergate went down, his parent company The Escapist posted a bunch of pro-GG articles, which caused a mass exodus of content contributors to the site including Jim Sterling, MovieBob, and Gavin Dunne. I’m not really a fan of any of those people, but those are the facts.

Yahtzee was one of maybe two or three people to stay on the site. There’s a reason why.

It’s less accurate to say that “the people who believe x or y are the ones who commit sexual assault” and much more accurate to say “the vast majority of those who commit sexual assault are men, regardless of their political beliefs, because sexual assault is a power dynamic and right now men are the ones who hold the most power.”

In other words, gently caress off to GBS with this stupid dogshit.
