That's 100% a zak sockpuppet, all of his tweets have been to people replying to Mearls' tweet.

ConTessa has made a post downplaying and denying any serious association with Zak too: http://www.contessa.rocks/blog/contessa-statement-on-zak-smith quote:Both literally and figuratively, Mandy Morbid is a friend of ConTessa. She was there to participate in the early online events that gave shape to what would become ConTessa. Staffers and members of our board have been invited into her home, in the past, and have gamed with her as well. We support her and believe her. This was after ConTessa's founder hid their twitter because they said "You can't say 'I told you so!' about Zak!", and the PR manager refused to correct an article he made when 5e first came out dismissing concerns about Zak and Tarnowski's consultancy on 5e.

IIRC Wheaton also took forever to disassociate with a huge TERF.FMguru posted:He's also a nice exemplar of the Extremely Woke Ally That Totally Supports Marginalized People who turns completely useless the moment he's asked to pay the even slightest personal price to back up his loudly-touted Deeply Held beliefs. And yet apparently also manages to be incredibly thin-skinned about the slightest mockery. Sounds like he's making people actually miss when he was just Wesley.

If the OSR people were smart they would be using the uproar against Mearls and D&D as a chance to go "Hey, you can play D&D without giving Mearls money!"

This is, unfortunately, to be expected. When you have an abuser who's been allowed to keep abusing you rarely ever see it end with one or two. There's always more people who've been keeping quiet, either out of fear, isolation or shame, and the floodgates open. We'll probably see a few more. Remember your self care, folks, if it's getting to you, but also make sure you shut down assholes who start coming after these people.

Arivia posted:I used to hang out in a big OSR discord that had a lot of people in it who liked Zak's products. Zak himself popped up in it after the G+ shutdown was announced, and I immediately left. I wonder if he's been banned from there, too. If it's the one I think you mean (the one with all the GLOG people), yes they banned him, though I'm not sure if it was before these revelations or not. There is general disgust for him there, though I think there's also still a prevalence of "civility above all" ethics, so perhaps no lesson learned.

As an aside, no one should be surprised that Zak's a serial abuser because... most of them are, disgustingly. Most abusers don't just keep it to a single person. Zak was 30ish and already a practiced abuser when he and Mandy met, like it's never gonna be just the accusers these people have hurt and that's horrible but it should be very, very clearly understood

Tendales posted:Revisiting Olivia's ban would really be a good idea for RPGnet right now. There's not nearly enough redress to the people that were hurt going around yet. You are assuming the apologies are meant to console those they harmed. This is about covering their asses in face of a scandal because celebrities with an established following routed around them, thereby causing them to look bad. None of them will work towards the consolation or vindication of their victims and it's likely that they don't even know how to make amends. Mormon Star Wars posted:I am absolutely astounded by the amount of people who's take about all of this is "I believe he's bad now, but I still believe all his previous accusers were liars and just trying to make him look bad." How the hell do you come out of the situation believing that? They hate trans people and think we're crazy liars. e: Just realized that the full text of the assault victims' story confirms what everyone said about him for twelve years, so either they believe her or we're liars.
