if kevinddr is someone who was in it for a bit and then left couldn't someone just, like, ask him if it's true

this seems like a very simple thing if it hasn't already been done

here's what I would do:

clarify that rwhitegoose was not invited to GDQ, will never be welcome to the event, and this was never in question
(after research establishes the truth) specify that grav is no longer running at the event
apologize genuinely and profusely about the 'differing opinions' statement and get a new pr person so that gently caress up isn't repeated

Yeah, unfortunately it's in Pizzaparty's nature to start poo poo rather than actually trying to maturely solve problems? This is part of the reason they probably don't trust the source that much to start with.

She didnt find the pics. A runner named ohrami did. Ohrami was banned from the elite and had his runs removed for insinuating he was a pedophile on :reddit: , ohrami responded with 'why are my runs removed if you are literally a nazi', took the screenshots, and created this mexican standoff of insane brokebrains. The elite capitulated and Ohrami got his records back in lol.

/r/speedrun had the pics for a few days, cyberdemon just had a popular tweet thread at gdq

:yooge: Thankfully America is the best country in the world at assimilating its immigrants, but at a certain point that quality will start to diminish. As long as Muslims remain <2% of our country, there shouldn't be a problem.

He's probably manually going through his post history as fast as he can.

like, we're probably due some ragging on gdq at this point because realistically they could have actually waited a bit longer and taken some time to sort this out instead of speedrunning how quickly they can put their foot in their mouth and pull out the 'differing opinions' line in regards to vile poo poo. if the situation gets handled in a satisfactory way no one is going to be saying 'wow it really sucks that gdq took 9 hours instead of 6 to make a statement on this'

actually, i don't know why i gave like a 3 hour time window there when it took about 30 minutes for mister 'muslims are okay if less than 2% of the population' graviton's posts to all be unearthed after the gdq statement so i mean

whatever. we shaved 2 and a half hours off that estimate. get HYPE

Honestly the post "this is bad if true but we can't act on it because it's falsifiable, send more evidence of you have it" would be fine, the dumb equivocation line is the problem.

The thing is the statement isn’t even equivocating per se, it’s “we don’t ban for differing opinions, but don’t allow harassment” followed by a seperate tweet of “this would count as more than opinions if we could verify it”

it’s just the term “differing opinions” has turned basically into a dogwhistle “nazi sympathizer over here” so having that in the same sentence, paragraph, or tweet is gonna come off as “this is fine” by default

the phrasing was a poor choice but that’s all (for now, unless they proceed to not act on the verified stuff, in which case I retract the above)

this whole mess could have been avoided if they didn't try to answer the problem as soon as humanly possible but then they wouldn't be a speedrun organization wouldn't they

i know basically those exact words have already been said but i am astounded that they just shrugged and went "idk" and within the next hour tons of other people shoved more evidence in their hands they couldn't be bothered to find in the first place
