At least now we know he hasn't been in contact with a lawyer to represent him or anything within the past week.

Because that is some bullshit they would tell you NOT to write.

If the FBI weren't knocking on his door already, they absolutely will eventually now because the dumb fucker is trying to defend himself with an "it's all true, but it's my wife's fault" approach.

It’s especially amazing when you consider that Channel Awesome showed him how not to do an apologize a year ago, and yet here we are.

lol @ 'when I got upset at him for doing lovely things he told me to go buy something nice'. What a cartoonish piece of poo poo, all that needs is 'and then he patted me on the head and said 'there's a good girl' before going off to bang some other lady'.

Also, like, there's never a 'good' position to be in to abuse your partner like this, but this is poo poo even some CEO type would get called a stereotypical rear end in a top hat for, how do you get such a big ego you can pull that move because you play video games online? It's almost impressive, I can't imagine the self-confidence needed to look at having a partner who by all accounts (even his own) was fully supportive and nice to be with, and a cool rear end elf cosplayer, and going 'yea...I should gently caress a side girl, show my dick to a kid or two, and throw Youtube Bucks at her if she questions it'. That's some American Psycho poo poo.

Even if you tell people how to do something repeatedly actually putting it into practice can be really tough.

Right? He went from "cute dork doing fun, silly video games content" to "utter scumbag" in less than 24 hours and he just keeps going.

I really hate how learning this poo poo makes something I could go to for a mood booster completely tainted. And makes me paranoid about everyone else.

It sucks, but just drop ‘em and move on. If anything, it’s a lesson against getting too invested in celebrities.

I’m not going to worry too much about whether or not someone like Babish is secretly a sex criminal.

I mean, I was never invested in ProJared but it's kind of hard to watch a video to forget about the world sucking when you're distinctly aware that the maker of the video has contributed to said suckage.

I haven't seen anyone either defending him or complaining about people defending him. I wouldn't be surprised if he had some small population of holdouts who hadn't heard, didn't believe, or didn't care, but I think his angling for the woke crowd really hurt him in ways that a more traditional gamer vid guy could survive. Cater to the usual gamer population, you'll have enough chuds to keep it up. Cater to the uwu kids, you sure as hell better avoid any hint of unwholesomeness.

Who is Zak S and what'd they do? :suspense:

zak s is an alternative porn star and modern artist who's true passion seems to be in arguing about pen and paper role playing games on the internet. some of you in this thread may remember a time when the escapist had a show called I Hit It With My Axe, which was kind of like a proto-Critical Role but instead of famous voice actors it was porn stars with zak s as the dm. he's a self-identified member of the "osr", or "old school renaissance", which is a movement within the traditional games community that believes classic game design tenets are superior to modern, more streamlined and story-based mechanics. he's even a prominent enough member of this community to receive a consultant credit in the most recent edition of Dungeons and Dragons, the biggest name in role playing games.

he's also a complete and utter wacko who maintains a list of everyone who has ever wronged him online. and when i say wronged, i mean "disagreed with even mildly." he often holds himself up as a bastion of progressive ideology among the community, and tries to frame anyone who is his enemy as a conservative prude who is anti-sex worker and anti-sex in general. often times in these situations, he would use his girlfriend, mandy morbid, as a shield due to her status as an lgbt woman and someone who suffers from a debilitating disease. several posts made under her name have been prominent in his defense and in attacking people that zak disagreed with. in a strange coincidence, zak seemed to disagree particularly strongly with a lot of transgender designers and community members and would use his fanbase to harass them out of the industry or off the internet entirely. this was all a known factor, and all of this predates things like, oh, i dunno, him being listed as a consultant in the credits of Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition, the biggest name in pen and paper games.

this all went great for him for years, he could easily convince everyone who heard that he was kind of a scumbag as a coordinated harassment campaign by conservatives spreading lies about him. until mandy morbid made one single facebook post. a post that she actually wrote.

according to that post, zak had been abusing her mentally, emotionally and sexually for years, as well as abusing their partner. she also explicitly called out that he would use her as a shield on the internet and would write posts in her name and use her image, her body and her illness to deflect criticism of himself. suddenly, all the people who always went to bat for zak and supporting his side of "all the bad poo poo people say about me is lies crafted by a conservative plot" were abandoning him. mike mearles, project lead of d&d 5e and frequent defender of him has not tweeted since that post was made. satine phoenix has tried to downplay her defense of and covering for zak. even other right wing scumbags in the osr like gareth michael-skarka and james desborough were like "gently caress dude, you're too toxic now, we can't associate with you." eventually, zak made his counter post where he claimed that actually, it was mandy who was abusing him all these years. it's actually pretty similar to that projared post, which is what brought him to mind.

this is all just like, a surface level brushing of the whole situation. it's a deep clusterfuck.

Some people really hate women. They don't think they do, most of them. They just coincidentally, when there's a disagreement between a man and a woman, always believe the man. They usually think they are Very Rational.

I liked ProJared's Nuzlocke runs, gently caress him forever.

No kidding. Even in the most generous light possible, this still makes ProJared look like an insane creeper at worst, even without getting into the "slide in DMs of minors" component, and just abysmal husband at best.

But there are still some that are like "SEE I KNEW HEIDI WAS AT FAULT"
