I remember Anthony Burch because the motherfucker could not shut up about his personal life and came across as a massive tool, so i just wasn't surprised.

anyway, he seems like an ok guy but i just find it sad that the dude can't just hold his own opinion with out kowtowing to people.

It's a cover your rear end thing. I assume he's been caught out before and is now covering his rear end on everything. "I like this but only if its not problematic i hope its not" is usually a sign of that.

sorta as i said up thread. her stuff gets alot better overall in my opinion in the second season. season one was fine but some of the stuff was a little shakey/dumb evern if i agree with the over all points. most of the season one issues i mostly point to Jonathan McIntosh because he is kinda weird nut prude "thing bad" joke in of himself and the second he left, her twitter and videos got alot better and more interesting.

This dude 100% has weird poo poo in his closet and i'm just waiting for it to spill tbh

Basically everyone is good until they aren't. I work in games and a solid 50% of conversation (that isn't work related) is about social causes and that other 50% is about how brexit is stupid.

You do this constantly. You want to keep games and anime as creep-pandering as possible and hide behind, “actually, WOMEN are involved!!!! Women LOVE it!!!! Women are sad you said that :(

I’m going to finally put you on ignore, as I am completely sick of seeing your disingenuous posts all across the board.

Its funny as hell that you assume everyone you're arguing with is male.

Doesn't competitive smash rely on some kind of controller that had a special manufacturing defect or something? So presumably this guy located one of these messed up controllers, had someone put anime porn on it, and... that's it, I guess, that's the story, send tweet.

People play using gamecube controllers which aren't really produced in great numbers anymore, so they're just expensive now.

You should definitely be mocking the person who goes "oh look, this studio is bad, lol this means the country as a whole is bad".

Although i live in the UK so feel free to mock the French. National hobby and all that.

Look if people want to out themselves as being so fundamentally broken that they think that everyone who acts nice or does good things is just faking it to cover for being monstrous it's better we let them do that so we know not to take them seriously anymore.

they had one outstanding writer, and a handful of pretty good ones, and they built up goodwill by writing seemingly "progressive" articles.

loving sucks to see that progressive image was partially built on abusive behavior.

This is annoyingly common and its really giving people a ton of ammo to just assume anyone being progressive with a blog/news job is a shitter using it as cover.

VostokProgram posted:

Yeah, people who have done wrong but just happen to be "woke" always use the specter of "bad guys" as why you shouldn't criticize them. Or at least their apologists will.

Yup, this is bullshit and i'm getting real tired of it. Worth reminding people that hey, two groups of people can be bad. It's not "one is good and the other is not". If someone is doing lovely things you call them the gently caress out

DoctorWhat posted:

I'm very cautious around this Nairo stuff. While Zack deffo doesn't come off sympathetic in the narrative we've most recently been presented with, I think people are desperate to believe that popular star Nairo is innocent and that Zack, who has always been despised for one reason or another, is the transgressor.

I also fear that "legal agreements" will be seen as equivalent to evidence-based exoneration, which we all know is bullshit in cases of legal intimidation.

Not even the most recent thing. Zack has a history of doing this with other smash players and then blackmailing them. He also blackmailed noted shithead ally and has had other accusations of trying to do the same to other players.

Your caution, while understandable, might be defending an actual predator here.

Yeah, until it actually gets a sentence in court they don't have to do poo poo and usually won't. They kinda suck

I'd just like to point out that lawyer twitter is still twitter and they're just other people talking about the case, but they know about the same as the people in this thread about the actual specifics, which is er, jack poo poo.

They're good at explaining what the legalese means, but beyond that I wouldn't listen.

Theory is absolutely jack poo poo because they don't have the specifics of the case and every case is all about the specifics.

At this point it means pretty much nothing. I remember when Lawyer twitter were celebrating because the case was definitely not even going to make it past the first hurdle. It really wasn't that long ago.

And how they argue it to the judge is going to change everything. I still think Avellone is hosed, I hope he is, but I don't think saying "Hey, please don't take twitter as gospel" is that much of a hot take.
