Someone post this up on era, I feel like hearing how a joke about throwing battery acid at politicians is just jokes and censorship has gone too far catering to fragile alt right snowflakes, when compared to alt-right icon chappelles extremist anti-trans, anti-gay work of saying "slow your roll T's, it took decades for the rest of us to get this much acceptance and if you push too fast and too hard you're gonna get pushback"

Anyone else hoping for a Chapelle cast in Black Panther 2 plot twist so reee have to do another 180 and bow to their glorious Disney overlords and ‘it was just jokes and we love edgy close to the knuckle humour over here’?

The case is still ongoing. Better to wait before I give an opinion.

[demi]

Someone clue me in: is the ProJared defense believable?

He presented evidence for what he talked about.

[bork]

Someone clue me in: is the ProJared defense believable?

He didn't have any hard evidence to back up all his claims, IIRC, but he did have some pretty believable reasons and chat conversations/information available to call one of the two teenagers who claimed he sent nudes to a liar and the other one full of shit for telling him he was 18, but he also admitted to regularly exchanging nudes and having sexual conversations with any "interested" fans. 

He then said his wife at the time was cool with all this and that later on he didn't cheat because it was over and blah blah blah.  It's pretty much just his word against his ex-wife's.  Who knows, who cares on that stuff. 

[Uncle]

Someone clue me in: is the ProJared defense believable?

depends on what you're accusing him of

he admits he had a tumblr for exchanging of lewds because there's not really any way to refute that but his wife was cool with it and he made it clear that everyone needed to be 18+ and it was all freely given, no favors or punishments

the two people who claimed they were under 18 and he took advantage of them, he pretty much eviscerates

one says nudes happened in may 2016 but forgot they had written a long pity party Medium post about their experience with mental psychosis and memory loss with a 6 month gap in their memory that ended august 2016

the other explicitly cut out the part of their chat with jared where he said "are you 18+" and they said "of course I wouldn't be doing lewds if I wasn't" and then there's the fact that they never even exchanged any photos at all

both of them have since deleted their accusations

[Transhuman]

On this one it's probably better not to take sides, and instead just hate everyone involved.

[BisMarckie]

Any news regarding nudes of his wife?

[nachobro]

"All the coastal cities," especially given the context of the phrase and the tone of it, is shorthand for "A significant number of coastal cities." The paraphraser purposely altered it to "every coastal city" because that is a more absolute statement that sounds ridiculous.

this is the kind of talking in circles dribble i'd expect from a resetti poster

[Potato]

I mean, if your only contribution to this world is that you stream video games and exchange lewd images of yourself in sailor moon cosplay, you should probably kill yourself anyway.

Any coward can make millions shitting on trans people while getting cheered on by a sold out crowd, while playing the victim.

Some folks should just come out admit that they'll defend Chappelle being transphobic because he's created a safe space to be honest about how deep down they feel trans folk are delusional and that they're relieved that Chappelle has given them permission to laugh at us

I love how excsell ends up just rambling to theyselves and taking the mantle of all trans people, with mod impunity. It's great because so many people get banned at the drop of opinions for "historying of generazaltions about a whole group"

And because of this, we must still view him as being on the left when he’s openly promoting right-wing ideas on the LGBTQ community?

If I shoot someone, is that excused because most days I wasn’t shooting anyone?

“You guys are saying she’s a murder, but I saw her at a cookout last weekend, and she didn’t kill one person that whole afternoon. Seems pretty non-violent to me!”

Being on the left isn’t a badge you buy, and then you just do what you want. There are principles involved. When you’re standing for those principles, you get to call yourself leftist. When you’re reinforcing bigoted ideas about LGBTQ people, you don’t, and you need to be called out.

These people are wild.

None of what you’re saying makes him an icon of the alt right. An alt right icon wouldn’t preach to black people that they need to buy lots of guns in order to scare white people into instituting gun control.

Then take it up with Daily Caller, Breitbart and conservative rag Washington Examiner, all of whom are propping him up as some sort of "finally, someone to stick it to the homos" hero. They're the ones elevating him to that status with his new special.

Also personally - and I don’t mean this in a “bitch eating crackers” kinda way - I didn’t like how often he broke, walked back from the stage, and laughed at his own jokes. That’s just a pet peeve of mine, and I tend to see it as a tell when comedians know their stuff isn’t that funny.

My PS+ expired and I have never felt so alienated.

So for the first time since PS+ was a thing my membership has expired. No biggie right ? Just go out and buy another card just because right ? Well im having second thoughts simply out of spite.

All my PS+ games are locked out. I no longer have cloud saves, I cant play online....everything sucks. Its a strange feeling, almost like im not needed and im getting a big FU from sony.

This needs to change.

Which anime girls, though? I need to know whether to give him a dap or ridicule him.

I'll attempt to bridge the subject maybe tomorrow, I think coming out today saying "What anime is this?" on a first day comes across a bit strong.

I can’t fucking stand all these sexual predators preying on people in the games industry. They’re all fucking scum.

If I had it my way, this Alexis Kennedy guy would have his life destroyed. I’d want him beaten within an inch of his life. I’d have him hacking up blood and bile while he thinks about what he’s done to women in the games industry. I’d start ripping out his toenails really slowly, hearing him beg for forgiveness and mercy. I’d flay that bastard open like the worthless sack of meat he is, taking my time to make sure he feels every single second of his punishment. Finally, I’d cut him down limb by limb, one layer of flesh, muscle, and bone at a time. I’d let his victims join in to hopefully get them som ioda if relief. It wouldn’t be much, but it’s what this goddamn monster deserves.

Narrator: Jason was worried, he'd been to parties, he'd touched a few butts in his time, was it now his moment to be found out?
Was it time for old Jason to take a look in the mirror? Probably not, as we all know he likes to silence his accusers

Seems weird they're biding their time to write up articles, I mean usually they just post a screen cap of a tweet and some bollocks and then later update it if they can be assed.

Usually, the possibility of being sued into oblivion is not on the cards. We all know how well making accusations of sexual misconduct worked out for Kotaku and its Gawker affiliates last time.

For what it’s worth, Alexis seems to have just posted on Reddit:

Hi all.

I want to remove this post, but I'm going to let it stand.

I've registered a denial. I've been talking to my lawyers and I'm not allowed to say anything until I've finished with them. There is a lot more to the story.

This is our personal subreddit, and if you're going to talk shit me or Lottie, please do it elsewhere. Otherwise I'll just come back and delete this when it isn't 2am.

https://www.twitter.com/alexiskennedy/status/1166762265892311042?s=21

Someone also claims in that reddit thread:

Hi, this is a throwaway, my main Reddit account is my real name. But the timing part is this.

Shortly after Nathalie Lawhead posted her blog there was an anonymous Twitter account created-- @AbuseIndustry, but it got deleted-- that began to name names of rumoured abusers in the industry and tweet aggressively at them, including AK. This is the "anon" Meg talks about. He wasn't the only person mentioned but was the first not previously mentioned.

Nobody seems to know who ran that account, it had some very dodgy vibes to it, and some people were telling others not to trust anything they said, or even suggest that it was a false flag channer operation to target "innocent" devs. Maybe it was indeed someone dodgy-- but whoever it was, in this case at least, had got the goods. So, because the news had already broken, and because AK knew about it because of getting tweeted at, the timing looks to be a direct response to that, so the news could come from a more legitimate person.

The only actual story given AFACIS - apart from the "Dude is a PREDATOR! He hits on GIRLS!" initial claim - describes a shitty break up.
Not a rape.
Not a sexual assault.
Not even sexual harrasment.

He dumped his GF of 2 years via email after cheating on her, which is a dick move, and the kind of thing you get drunk with your galpals and say "god all men are bastards" about.
Not the type of thing you use a hashtag intended to out fucking rapists.
