That's because Ben didn't see anything wrong with it. After all, he wrote these things:

People fear what they do not understand. Thusly, when the Lobster-men started their brutal assault on civilian establishments, people were naturally a bit frightened... Luckily, their desire for a unique hormone produced only in the kidneys of young children was expressed early on, and we were able to work with them to set up breeding/slaughter camps rather than cause a mass hysteria on the part of the populace at large... #7,285

Yes, eat all the semen sally, lick the head of my cock smooth and clean, so I can slip it back into you, pushing it deep in your soft mouth. #16,449

Somewhere like 30 thousand posts back in the games thread a guy did an awesome comic thing about the 4th stimpire but I have no idea how to find it.

edit: the Fourth Stimpire is also going to be a faction in the game Toops is making, Solar Plebian.

The Fourth Stimpire is extended universe stuff. It probably won't be in the main game. Maybe a book?

Ben Lesnick is the original community manager for Cloud Imperium Games. He is the face of the company, with more on-screen time on a weekly basis than anyone including Chris Roberts and his wife Sandi (who is also the head of marketing). He is personally responsible for creating one of the most toxic, cult-like, insular gaming communities on the planet. A community that aggressively attacks anyone who disagrees with their perspective that Star Citizen is the greatest game ever made. It doesn't matter if that person is new to the game, has been around for years and grown disillusioned, or a beloved web personality who is also a victim of cancer. Ben currently listed as a game developer, the director of community engagement, and also the director of starships. During his time at Cloud Imperium Games he has developed a reputation for habitually lying, particularly when doing so opens up the possibility of escaping controversy. We see the same behavior now as he tries to pass off a lie that is easily disproved. There is little reason to believe that the person he was in 2008 is significantly different from the person he is in 2016. His words certainly hold no bearing, except to validate that the statements are his.

I do love reading that again,

The part that makes me laugh is when the anonymous CS person signs all their emails with "Best" at the end

She slips up and signs off 'Best' instead of her usual 'Sincerely' while playing the role of Sandi, before passing the buck back to Patrick

Did anything ever happen with DEREK SMART's lawsuit(s)? I was hoping CIG would get sued into bankruptcy and we could all enjoy the resulting community fallout as those jpegs became worthless. Imagine how much more fun that would be than the game itself.

From what I remember, it got shut down after the supreme court ruling about binding arbitration in EULA

I mean it was likely entirely fictional in the first place, but I think that is what he said
