oh, gently caress, so this is pretty much a Barkley 2 situation :smith:

(just to get it out there, since it's more what the thread is about at this point: i think the stuff gauss said was incredibly hosed up, but i also think his apology sounds genuine, and hunting for signs that it isn't is a sign that you're not doing this for the right reasons. i think the YCS/badgame people flooding the thread are a bunch of stupid assholes, but it also seems clear to me that it's just the same bullshit that happens every time an insular group of goons gets called out, and I somehow highly doubt gauss called them in vs. them deciding to do this on their own.)

I actually don't think it's a genuine apology because it's just too convenient that he realized he was wrong about everything and repented like apparently the day before everything came to light.

Maybe I'm just cynical but I don't think I am in this case.

I really loved Brigador. I loved the world and the way you unlocked information in the game; I loved the gameplay I was frankly horrible at. I enjoyed watching them work on levels for the rerelease on Twitch, and when a patch ended up destroying all my progress, they were really nice in trying to help me get my lost progress back.

As a gross, nonpassing trans woman, this poo poo really hurts.

The true Brigador killer... Was racism.

I'm a little surprised he tried to apologize for posts he made a week ago like it was 'a different time' but whatever.

I didn't know if it was real or fake, but I really really wanted it to be fake. I loved Brigador and was really looking forward to Brigador Killers.

This is wildly off topic, we're not talking about Captain Foo's violent hatred of Asian women, we're currently trying to figure out how to feel good about continuing to play a game that a human rights violating company paid a Nazi billions of dollars for in light of a principled stance against Brigador.

The posts are real, I made them on YCS. I'm sorry to everyone for this.


For years, I've posted to a private forum where I've made many transphobic, racist, and anti-semitic remarks. I'm deeply sorry for that, but know that apologizing will not change what I have done.

Over the last decade, I fooled myself into thinking that my words had no consequence, but over the past few days, I've discovered the opposite to be true. It matters what you say, even in private. I've hurt many people.

Effective immediately I am suspending my involvement with Stellar Jockeys & Brigador Killers. I love the game, I love how excited our fans and community have been, but I have jeopardized the trust we've worked so hard to build with everyone. I made this happen, and that means I need to step away.

I can't undo what I did, but I can work forward from here. I have deleted my account for the forum in question. I've been talking to people whose values and perspectives I've been critical of. I now need to spend time listening, learning and growing as a person. I am truly sorry for what I have done.
