I saw some unsubstatiated evidence that the girl actually lied, and has since then apologised to him multiple times.

Simarlily PL might have seen this evidence, verified it and gone "ok, not a pedo shitlord". I'm not defending anybody. I'm not accusing anybody. I just dont know.

pump the loving brakes here man.

mittani is 100% right here. it's not "defending pedophiles" to say that you shouldn't be using real-life safety concerns as a pretext for fake space politics. when someone asks you to stop going after their abuser because it's just making their life more difficult and offering them no relief, it's correct to respect that. and it's not hard to believe that low-stakes poo poo like motivating people to fight space wars is not something offering her any solace.

"is mittani secretly working with BFM?" does not naturally flow from "mittani respected the stated wishes of BFM's victim".

Yeah, as much as mittens is a huge jerk, "let's not use this person's victimization as a cheap bludgeon for space politics" is a reasonable position and doesn't necessarily imply condoning the person who did the victimizing.

Obviously everyone's different and their reactions are different but my own personal journey with something similar (not eve or goon related), I prefer that because my situation never really became common knowledge within the community it was something I had the power to disclose as much or as little of as I want, to who I want, when I want rather than something that's constantly brought up by others whenever they think it's convenient or relevant.. Of course I have to balance that with my own nagging thoughts about what if there were other victims but, you know, you win some you lose some. :shrug:

That said gently caress BFM, and double-gently caress him for apparently pulling some "well actually she was lying all along guys" change of tune poo poo years down the road.

I think the only text in my EveO char bio was "Deadtear's only fan" for the large part of my GSF time.

But it's been so long since I played, I have no idea why.

Glad to see those fan numbers going up here recently.

Yeah, let’s tread a little lighter here. These are complex issues and we’re going to need to talk through them at times, but the time for screeds and walls of chat logs about mittens is probably over.

The people who stayed are largely in the gently caress Mittani forever camp and hated him before this went down. I posted a few times basically saying all the ways the Mittani and the alliance have hosed up leading to this and I know some people in illum took it seriously.

I don't know a single person who actually liked the guy who wasn't a complete stooge. There are valid reasons for people staying. Not everyone agrees with the BURN EVERYTHING DOWN mantra. it's not a zero-sum game. The alliance seems to now understand this wasn't just some random flare up that happened over the course of a few days and that it had been silently building for a decade due to systemic problems. One of the first things Adj said publicly was that for the entire time Mittens was executor, Waffe has been treated like second class citizens and were failed by leadership. They know about the organization's role leading to this.

Mittens is gone; the changes I wanted to see are either here or coming. If they don't hold to their word or he comes back, I'm out. But until then I'm seeing how it plays out.

Good for you for making a stand, but I've been in and out of the jabber and forums since I left and the massive majority of opinions have been "mittani did nothing wrong he's a king this was a psyop" to the more restrained "the SA thread was a toxic woke cesspool, both sides have done wrong but harassing mittens was mean"

If there's a contingent of people in the alliance saying "gently caress mittens I always hated him" then they're keeping it very quiet

I was referring to the people in Waffe, sorry my bad

Some of the other line members have been pretty lovely about it, but pretty much all went away when directors started posting about it. I don't really give a poo poo what a random line member thinks about this, it's the corp CEO's and the people in illum who matter in this.

This is pretty reasonable. Most goons I’ve flown with at least seem to be swell people. Recently helped us dunk Parabellum in W-Space. Was a great time. I really hope that the changes are coming as I have thought of joining goons at some point to give null life a try. If the coming changes are real and do stick, then I might do just that.

The first step in proving they do care is to stop calling what happened drama

The 2nd is to ban Mittani from all services.

The 3rd step is unbanning all of us who ate it because we didnt let that poo poo rest. Banned for shitposting was clear retaliation.

4th would be an apology to all of us who got banned.

I have said that more than seven years ago. It wasn't about space politics back then, it sure as hell does not have anything to do with space politics either. I would call out an adult, who knowingly approached a child for sexual purposes and who groomed a child, without any regard to circumstances without hesitation.
As I've told the inquiring parties the last week, my only concern at the moment is the protection of the identity and the privacy of the victim, who was 14 at the time of her grooming by the BFM.
Allow me to reiterate this again: BobFromMarketing grooming a 14 year old female through EVE Online is not an allegation. BobFromMarketing himself admitted doing so when he made the (rather comedic) claim of the relationship being consensual.
And yeah, even if there are some among you that'd consider giving weight to such a claim, I'd like to remind you in most jurisdictions around the world, an underage (below the age of consent) victim's consent amounts to nada and is completely irrelevant.

Several issues arise with someone holding power for such a long time. When new blood would join GSF. Alex was the only leader and voice they knew. Gone were the squads and the directors became sycophants. Without detractors to keep him honest. His narcissism kept growing larger.
