It's sad to see that, even if Russ is bad, Nick truly puts the 'Awful' in Awful Squad

We're all thinking it, but I guess I'm the only one who has the courage to say it. It's time to ban Nick Robinson from the Something Awful Forums.

Milkshake ducks are new Internet fad people that haven't been properly vetted that get exposed when the light of publicity hits them, not personalities with a long public history, I will not stand for the dilution of the made up internet term. but yeah, it sucks.

I hope his poo poo just boils down to being a pervy rear end in a top hat and not a loving rapist again if he was an actual rapist I think there'd be a different tone than "we don't want him fired we just want him to stop being a creep" and people in the know wouldn't be cracking jokes about it I think it's a lower tier of scumbaggery than that

It must be. The pedo thing went away quickly because if you have proof of that, you don't hide it. He may have perved on a girl that he found out was underaged and stopped. No one claimed he knew she was under 18 and was in to it. I'm trying my best to be optimistic about this but history will make me a fool.

Yeah there's no indication at all there's a rape element here. Just general skeeviness I guess? I just hope it's not legit harassment. If it is it's harder to say "do better, we still like you" than if he's just awkwardly and maybe inappropriately hitting on women. He's a guy in his mid 20's who's bound to make some mistakes, which is not an excuse for lovely behavior but means that maybe there's an opportunity to learn and improve. The severity of his behavior is a major factor for me.

"awkwardly and inappropriately hitting on women" is harassment. That's the point. A guy in his '20s is old enough to know when to ask and when not to ask, and unless you're in a sex chat room, asking for nudes is creepy. Somehow people who "awkwardly and inappropriately hit on women" manage not to do it in front of people they respect or have professional connections to. That tells you that it's not an involuntary behavior, but something they've chosen to do. If it were accidental, there'd be witnesses.

Man, this sucks. I feel bad for making jokes about Nick being a horny furry back when I thought he just wanted to bone down on Crash Bandicoot, not an actual creep (and he's not married but he does/did have a girlfriend at the time?). Though I guess I should have seen it coming because teen cheeto champ Nick definitely looked like the kind of guy who would ask "where's my hug?  " to girls

In general, it's harassment if you introduce sex into a non-sexual context, and do so repeatedly. Everybody gets one strike(out), but repeatedly hitting on somebody who's said they aren't interested is harassment.

Arsenic Lupin posted:If it were one attempt per person, in appropriate contexts, Nick's close friends wouldn't be turning their backs on him. That's fair. I'm giving him a little bit of leeway on the "appropriate contexts" part of that because I don't doubt it was inappropriate. If that's all it is, I'd be willing to say "that's not okay, please do better" and not write him off wholesale. I admit it sounds worse than that though. If he's harassing people then that's it for me.

inferis posted:So there's still time, but I think it's pretty nice that we were able to discuss this whole situation without probations and locked threads. Who knew that something awful dot com could grow and change this much. For real. If I hadn't been following this thread, then I would have seen some of the stuff Austin retweeted, and thought "wow wonder who they're talking about, anyway time to enjoy the next CGI" I completely understand the reluctance of victims to come forward, but it was like 7 hours until someone posted a tweet that even linked all this subtweeting to Nick (the "I guess Overcooked didn't send nudes) tweet". I can't fault people for asking for more evidence when all we had was "I heard Nick was a creep", because if I was to believe every internet rumor of that caliber then i would also believe that Zoe Quinn slept with someone for positive reviews, and that Anita Sarkeesian faked all the harassment she claimed to be getting. In conclusion Ariong posted:We're all thinking it, but I guess I'm the only one who has the courage to say it. It's time to make Nick Robinson a TVIV mod on the Something Awful Forums.

Also Austin Walker from Giant Bomb has also been retweeting a lot of information/implicitly supporting the victims. A lot of the people who are coming forward/talking about it are industry professionals who have a lot on the line, not twitter nobodies aiming to get famous. e;fb

It's a little bit weird that so many people are demanding proof when none of this has even been a call to action to stop liking him or whatever. There's a lot of people who have done bad things that make content you like and it's not retroactively all garbage suddenly. Like, people still like Bill Murray and he's had multiple exes talk about him being physically violent. You aren't a better consumer just because the people you like have or haven't done bad things.

Oh, it's like a direct replay of the Harrison Mooney incident. http://www.barstoolsports.com/boston/harrison-mooney-is-the-internets-biggest-creep/ Well that cold sucks. I hope for as little suffering for all parties as possible.

In a vacuum I'm hesitant to call hitting on someone harassment, but given the volume of people dancing around just flat out accusing him of being a creep I think we have another Devin Faraci situation on our hands, lads.
