Varam posted:Yeah, the guy stepping up and calling Nick out on his bullshit and triggering a general venting about it is definitely acting in bad faith because he didn't prepare a full legal case to present to you beforehand. This is not really germane at this point, just an explanation for why there were a lot of pages of "huh????" because it was a legit "huh???" moment.

see also (or I guess you can't because Nick's side of the conversation was deleted) the twitter thread from around the time of the Krystal tweet with Nick and Austin Walker where Nick was like "Ha ha we should compete to see if Polygon or Waypoint is the horniest game site" and Austin's reply was essentially a polite and elaborate "gently caress off"

Yeah when the Krystal thing happened I was like "Even if he is one hundo serious, I thought we didn't really care whether or not people are furries anymore?" Now it's clear. It's like that furry convention comedian who got kicked out because he kept doing the same "heh, mellenials am I right??????" material every year for like a decade. Lots of people didn't like him, but it wasn't because he was a furry, it was because he was an rear end in a top hat.Fellatio del Toro posted:Still anxiously waiting to find out if Nick has a wife It's Krystal.

I'm hoping this ends up being nothing much, but it's not the end of the world if he leaves.

I thought the issue with the Krystal tweet was that treating women characters in games as sexual objects is bad, even as a joke, which is basically femfreq's entire thesis statement?

Wait, I skimmed the last 5 pages or so but there's still nothing concrete, right? Why is everyone acting like CGI and such are done, or did I miss something?

Man, this is bumming me out. Not just because funnyman Robinson is at the center of this, but because we don't even know what this is. Like, this feels less like a serious issue and more like high school - like when someone starts a rumour that spreads, so no one is really sure about what happened, but that Nick Robinson did it, and it just spreads until it's true, that he should be avoided because he did...something. I mean I assume that guy who stopped podcasting with him heard something concrete, but I don't even know if that's the case of if he just heard the rumours and decided to break it off because of that. There's a lot of smoke here, but it's all just smoke and more smoke, and it's really frustrating because even if there is something concrete, the internet is such a toxic place that it's so loving hard for someone to come forward with it.

So there's still time, but I think it's pretty nice that we were able to discuss this whole situation without probations and locked threads. Who knew that something awful dot com could grow and change this much.

I'm in the same boat as you, I barely know this guy or the people complaining about him, but whatever is going on is happening behind semi-closed doors. Full story could come out in either hours or years, it's impossible to know.

Most of the relevant tweets about the stuff with Nick seem to be complied in this Neogaf thread. No screenshots of anything directly incriminating but a good number of relatively trustworthy people (other games journalist and such that are in positions to know about this sort of thing but haven't seen fit to talk about it out of fear of professional repercussions, hence all the subtweeting and not naming names) seem to consider it an open secret that Nick is a creeper of some sort. Also there was a screencap of a tweet that seems to have been deleted claiming that someone's underage friend got perved on by Nick or something like that but that was the only thing I saw implying any sort of pedo problem so that's a plus, I guess.
