i mean poo poo they even obviously read the tos since they asked twitch about it, why the gently caress would anyone side with them.

And of course they just assumed Twitch would be a-okay with them violating the TOS because they didn't receive an email response.

Bet they waited a whole five minutes for a reply. Or not at all. Or even ask.

Cystic fibrosis charities will be fine without their poo poo stream. I like how they link to another streaming site and not you know, a charity site or anything.

The guy already sounded like a poo poo so further convincing wasn't needed, it just kind of blows that a charity stream also got killed thanks to them. :shrug:

the guys in charge of the stream read the tos, saw the rule saying banned streamers weren't allowed (as evidenced by the fact that they emailed twitch about it), and them let cyberdemon on anyway
.
either they did this to intentionally invite controversy or they are just blindingly and willfully stupid as gently caress. either way they deserve no sympathy at all.

also while i don't know exactly why cyberdemon was banned from twitch, they run a subreddit dedicated to harassing trans streamers and i'd not be surprised if that is the reason they were banned. cyberdemon is also banned from twitter as well, which is not an easy feat unless you were being egregiously terrible. again, the charity organizers who let cyberdemon in there are either absolute dipshits or they knew what they were doing and wanted to create controversy.

we are going to have this wave of games for a year with awful voice acting, it gonna feel like 1998 again.

I've been following what little has been happening with the voice actor strike, and I've been remarking that For Honor has 90's level lovely voice acting but I only made the connection just now.

If this persists into the big fall releases, 2017 is going to be a doofy year for AAA games.

I for one welcome the new age of voice acting. Acceptable voice acting is simply forgotten, but voice acting like this will always be remembered

El Presidente smiles upon this thread.
Which reminds me: if you want to drop in on a charity stream that probably won’t be raided by assholes, The F Plus is holding a 24 Terrible Hours streaming event this Friday and Saturday to benefit the Southern Poverty Law Center. I’ll be visiting around 10pm Eastern to crack jokes about the improbable stories on Not Always Learning.

Yeah, he seems like a nice enough dude, but his criticism of comics always remained pretty superficial. He kind of never outgrew the whole TGWTG style of internet criticism, at least for his comics reviews.

I mean his reviews aren't my thing either, but I'm not gonna be a dick about him getting his channel back after YT hosed something up. Especially not when there are actual terrible channels around. Trying to burn Linkara when we have garbage like Sargon of Akkad is just dumb.

Has anyone else been keeping track of companies pulling out of google ads, including YouTube, because there ads are appearing with hate speech and stuff? Because this is important and may change how Toutube does stuff.

If you are on Twitter. Follow the Sleeping Giants accounts. They are informing PR Twitter accounts for companies they see ads for on Britbart and telling them how to stop it. (Even though blocking your ads on Britbart isn't %100 garenteed.

So, Mikey Neuman who makes movies with mikey and was the lead writer on Borderlands 1 was in the hospital for 10 days because of MS and has had to relearn how to talk and walk. He seems to be doing okay now but yeah, that's a thing.

Hej min vän, hur står det till?
I have trouble liking Linkara because I knew him before he started doing videos; dude was really into Ann Coulter and went to a women's comics forum to pitch his idea about why a villain's motivation/backstory of being raped on stage was actually really compelling and not needlessly creepy. Dude might have changed since then but that's forever my mental association.

Yeah, that doesn't sound like him at all. Even about ten years ago when these guys started he was openly stating he is a feminist and takes issue with rape whenever it's brought up in any of the comics in his videos.

He absolutely has changed and is pretty ashamed of the way he used to be. It's one of the more heartening stories in the internet.

I've mentioned it before but Jim Sterling used to say some incredibly lovely things. I know he used to even use the phrase femanazi without any irony and just be a really hostile rear end in a top hat so yeah, given time people can definitely change. I mean, not to dig up the past too far, even look at one of his old tweets.

That being said, if someone like JonTron eventually apologized for the things he's said, do you think people would accept it, or has he gone past the point of no return?

Forgiveness is a thing, but the guilty party needs to take responsibility for their actions and hold themselves to a higher standard so they don't fall back into bad habits.
