DoctorWhat posted:No? There are many thousands of people who each average many thousands of views. Most people will never have heard of any given YouTuber, even relatively popular YouTubers who specifically appeal to shared interests. Yes, bad assumption from me. Sorry about that. I think it's kind of odd to see video posted by X person, see X person's name mentioned in the thread, and then go "wait who's X person? Never heard that name before." Like...what?

Kaiser Mazoku posted:The...uploader of the video that Dawgstar posted? Someone whose videos average hundreds of thousands to millions of views? This does not suggest that Bard was "involved" in any conspiracy. If evidence was fabricated, there are no indications she was not sincerely taken in. She could have been the mastermind but there's no smoking gun. Generally speaking, I have extreme skepticism towards any conspiracy narrative that suggests a woman online would knowingly fabricate abuse allegations against a popular gamer.

Skepticism fully justified, especially in a thread about a known, proven sex pest, but the original tweets are still up and she has yet to delete them or apologize for spreading misinformation: https://twitter.com/redbardiscool/status/1378098160095072361?lang=en

Okay so she still believes them. Again, no evidence of conspiracy. If the allegations are baseless, her only crime is believing alleged victims. KM, I don't know if you've ever been in the position of someone coming to you, in confidence, about being abused or even regretting abuse they have performed. I have been and I can tell you it is an emotionally fraught and complex social position. I would not describe anyone making good-faith misappraisals as a scumbag.

I can barely be assed to know PewDiePie drama, let alone stuff from someone with under 250k subs. I don't have a way of knowing if the reddit thread is true either, but my guess is a subreddit called /r/HobbyDrama is going to be salacious as possible. Don't get me wrong, I'm going to check it out, but even if everything is 100% accurate, her channel's been dead for over a year anyway. edit: nevermind, that reddit post is pretty far into tl:dr territory.

I'm currently helping someone through a stalking situation, in fact. Which is why I stand by my belief that Red Bard sucks rear end. She was informed it was a hoax, it's publicly known that she knows it's a hoax, and still refused to apologize and delete the wrongful tweets. It doesn't matter if she thought it was real at first or not. She used her platform as a popular content creator to spread misinformation about someone else. Again, a simple apology and removal of said misinformation would have been easy and I wouldn't be having this current discussion if that were the case. Maybe it's a clout thing, maybe it's out of stubborn refusal to admit that she was wrong, I don't know. I don't want to sound like I'm scolding anyone who chooses to watch her content. Like I said, the videos themselves are good. She just sucks as a person. Sorry to derail this thread with my own personal beefs.

Cannot believe that in this, the thread about how a guy was able to be a sexual predator for years doing the same poo poo that got him caught nigh-instantly at any of his other, 'real' jobs - primarily because the wider world doesn't pay that much attention to anime and certainly not to its behind-the-scenes drama, literally anyone could go "I'm sorry I thought the drama surrounding this anime-adjacent YouTube creator whose channel has been dead for a year would be common knowledge" I mean... of course it's not common knowledge, nothing is common knowledge, if the poo poo Vic had been doing was common knowledge he would have gotten punted out of the industry a decade before he did and half the poo poo we've all been laughing about in this terrible legal saga would never have happened It turns out not everyone shares your YouTube recommendations, Jesus Christ how is this hard for people

The vic stuff is basically like an extremely small scale jimmy saville, where a fair amount of people knew something and rumours circulated in relevant circles, but there was nothing concretely said and even less done Whatever the youtuber thing is, it's just some guy

the red bard thing completely killed her career, she hasnt uploaded a single video since then and her entire twitter account is just getting into fights with random 200 follower right wingers now. there's really no point acting like she's some massive influence on youtube. she made a couple 1 million views videos and also has a bunch of sub-100k videos, and then her account died. she has 200kish subs which really isnt much on youtube. i get thinking shes a dick for leaping into the vinny thing but also she isnt some insidious force you need to make a thread entirely about just because she got linked, while also assuming everyone else has been stewing on this drama for over a year as well.

The old guy who gave reviews of anime as he took hikes was pretty cool. Usually pretty thoughtful reviews, a nice, relaxing voice and beautiful views from wherever he was walking. He did a good mix of older 70s, 80s etc stuff and recent content too, and it was obvious he was a lifelong fan. I believe he stopped several years ago at this point though, presumably age caught up with him in some fashion  Edit: Well, gently caress, Googling around to try to find the guy's channel (since I couldn't remember the name), apparently he died back in 2014 at age 89. And hadn't updated in 4 years by then. I didn't realize it had been quite that long. It was fun to find out his real name was "Bruce Wayne" though. Batman was a weeaboo.

I guess it would make since Nick is out of practice formatting briefs because he hasn't actually practiced law in however long. Regardless I love the fact Nick thought he could save this.

I was wondering why Red Bard seemed to stop posting. I liked her stuff but yikes on all that. I remember she had to amend her first yaoi paddle video after being taken to task by someone on twitter for recounting an often repeated but very unsubstantiated rumor that someone at Anime Matsuri (i think?) got hit with a paddle so hard an ambulance had to be called. A longtime staff member for that con called her out for not, at the very least, trying to verify that rumor and basically recounting it as fact. It's definitely one of those rumors that people forget is only a rumor but it definitely would have been good on Red Bard's end to cover her rear end better on that one.

Yeah, as I've understood it, Ty's firm was where Vic eventually ended up because other lawyers were telling him "no." And legal twitter's fairly certain that an actually competent defamation lawyer could have advanced Vic's cases past the anti-SLAPP, but didn't really have much to go on to actually successfully prosecute to a victory - plus, that would only have been on a narrow portion of the full suit. Which is probably what Vic had already been told by the lawyers that declined - that the best he could hope for would be a small settlement and even then he would have to give up on most of the accusations he wanted to bring to court.
