None of us know any of the details for sure but I'm gonna lean toward defending victims of something that is incredibly common over assuming they're making poo poo up which is incredibly rare.

There are literally no victims. That's the point. They're all theoretical with none even having been anonymous and coming forward. You saw the tweets, they're gossip, hot takes, or actively wrong poo poo like how Nick is apparently married even though I'm like 99% sure he isn't.

Nobody has screenshots, there is no recounting,there's NOTHING. I'm literally supposed to believe Nick has sexually harassed people because other people,mostly dudes, said they heard that he did.

Relay a story anonymously through someone else, as opposed to attempting to dunk on someone without any preparation. the conversation literally went like this

"I wish publishers would stop making consumers QA their games for them"
"yeah well you cheat on your girlfriend in DMs apparently"

????

Like jumping out of the bushes and shooting at someone with blanks. get someone's story, vet it, protect their anonymity, and come out with it. the court of public opinion has no due process but there are still SOME standards that should be met. Callout culture is sometimes a giant-rear end buster sword wielded clumsily falling all over the place. We already experienced it in this thread with people (NOT in this thread) accusing the Adventure Zone graphic novel artist of racism because Taako was blue (?!?!?!)

If you think that's how the internet works then you're especially dumb. Like that time that agdq dude's wife cheated on him, where to this day I read dumb poo poo about how she let a bunch of dudes run a train on her. That poo poo doesn't go away.

For what it's worth these rumors unfounded or not aren't new. I've seen people talking about this for months, so it's not just from the overcooked tweet.

Yeah that's the closest thing I got to it having merit but even then her tweets read as "it happened to me so it COULD be true". Her tweets did not read like she was a personal victim of Nick's, obliquely or not.

I don't think anyone's posted anything but general vague "Yeah he's a real rear end in a top hat," and honestly from his joke persona and his normal self I'd be willing to believe he's at least kind of a off putting jerk :shrug:

But also this twitter phone game of 'I heard she said he said' is probably not 100% on base given the fact that twitter's not a platform that enables nuance or actual discussion as much as it is a platform for making sure you get to inject your hot take into the general populace before the topic becomes irrelevant.

Luckily Justin and Travis, the two best boys, are too Dad-like and too soft respectively to ever break my heart.

Griffin's probably a real loving goblin IRL though
