It looks like EVO is run by triple perfect inc. and Joey Cuellar is the CEO and CFO so uh I assume there's other employees or something but I have 0 clue who runs that account or is even in a position to run an investigation.

The REAL Goobusters posted:IDK what this even means, isn't Wizard the owner of EVO. Who made this post? Was it Markman? Wiz owns SRK. A few years ago they created a separate Corp for Evo and Wiz is the president but only one of the shareholders. No idea the breakdown on his stake or comprehensively who the other officers/shareholders are

Owning something doesn't necessarily mean that all the executive power lies with you.

I think you get a gaming journalist to run with it, they will reach out to Capcom, Nintendo, etc. for comment while also getting influencers to comment on it, and that will turn the heat about as high as it can get.

Generally speaking, when an organization responds as quickly as EVO did here, it suggests someone who was on the knife's edge and would be dropped at the first sign of trouble. I'd guess there's more they know about and are distancing from.

Holy poo poo  Mr Wizard has sucked rear end for awhile, but this is taking it to a whole nother level. There's no way he can stay associated with Evo and still have sponsors showing up I imagine. Nor should he regardless, what the gently caress If they're smart they'll have him out by this weekend, otherwise they're going to get destroyed

Something sort of similar happened in the Crossfit world a week or two ago. They discovered the CEO was super sexist and harassed female employees. A ton of gyms unaffiliated and a group of the top athletes started to boycott their competition. They did a soft pitch “the ceo resigned and we have a new one!” but everyone knew the original guy still had ownership of the brand and everyone said it wasn’t enough. Finally last week they announced the company has been sold to a new owner and CEO. I guess what I’m getting at is if top players started boycotting evo that might dump a ton of gasoline onto the fire.

Saoshyant posted:Wow, this is big news to wake up to. And Viscant was aware... To be fair to Viscant, he probably didn’t know exactly how old the person was in this story at the time (because whether or not this is “extremely creepy” or “extremely illegal” is going to depend on which state this happened in). Hell, doesn’t even seem like Viscant knew this particular story until years later. I do think that Viscant has a poo poo ton of dirt on a lot of loving people even if he never really realized it before the last 24 hours MechaX fucked around with this message at 14:36 on Jul 2, 2020 |

I always thought Viscant was dope since he stuck it to LTG. This info about Mr. Wizard doesn't really point any fingers at Viscant as being a poo poo or anything so I'm not sure why peeps are pissed at him for knowing Wizard was gay?

It reads to me like the people in this group knew what was going on and didn't care. Like, how can you be an adult in this situation and not have red flags go off when your friend is paying young boys to take their clothes off at an arcade. It's hosed up.

Valle and James Chen are just as guilty as Viscant for not doing anything about Cuellar in that case. Like it's clear Cuellar is a real poo poo stain but I'm just reluctant to cast blame on the people he knew through FGC association. pog boyfriend posted:hey uh, can we get rid of infiltration too now. loving hell yes pls.

AndyElusive posted:Valle and James Chen are just as guilty as Viscant for not doing anything about Cuellar in that case. That's true. Unfortunately generally good people are capable of having glaring blind spots towards friends and need to be snapped out of it to finally see that they're doing something terrible. Have they said anything about it yet? e: Nothing from Valle and Chen shared the Evo image saying Mr. Wizard isn't in charge of it anymore. Also not trying to say they're blameless, they shouldn't have let it happen. HerniaFlange fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Jul 2, 2020 |

mango sentinel posted:I remember weird and creepy poo poo people did back in middle and highschool. That is no excuse. It's less about using it as an excuse, but more to better understand the gravity of what happened and what the old guard can do for this going forward. Like, people have been going in on Tweek in the Smash community for knowing about some stuff while he himself was a minor. Yeah, he probably should have spoken up about some stuff, but having him tell his story on the poo poo that was normalized for so long is absolutely key. In this case, no, Viscant and the other FGC oldheads should have figured out something was off with this years ago. They did not. What they can do now is start recognizing "... oh poo poo I didn't put it together because i was a dum dum, but here are other examples of what was going on back then." Because I think that MrWiz was normalizing this behavior for a reason, which makes this habitual behavior even worse. If nothing else, even Majin Obama is like "oh man I have some poo poo to say on this subject," which we need to encourage more of to burn this poo poo to the ground. Also, LTG can get hosed; he was on his "men can't get sexually assaulted by women" when the Cinipie stuff hit, gently caress him off of the goddamn planet
