I was a big reader of IGN at the time and you could see how these people used to treat other writers who were completely focused on Nintendo at the time. The constant jokes and comparing Nintendo players to adult childs and all the supid comments. Man, if they treated even their own colleagues like that, imagine minorities like women and black people. That was sooooo clear. Sometimes I believe people are blind or they just don't have feelings. I don't know... really...(Image removed from quote.)

His response honestly makes him look worse. It's a very dudebro approach to take with "You're a big girl and I didn't force you to do anything, so what's the problem?"
I won't disclose our defense strategy but stolen valor will definitely come up.
Can't wait until this shitrag is replaced. Confederate flag should also be banned along with all other Nazi iconography.
Wow, that's more than what Steam has done.
This reminds me of a trip to Target where I was going to get new pajama bottoms.Found theses slick Captain America ones. Not the ones made by Marvel but the ones that get a license to use art and them put them together.Was going to buy them till I noticed the flag in the background was super blown up and grayscale. Or rather black and white with only the blue of the stars area colored. Put them back. Not sure if they were supposed to be stealth blue lives matter merchandise but that's how it felt to me.
My biggest takeaway from today is everyone either hates each other or is in the process of getting metoo'd.
As Kyuuji helpfully pointed out multiple times, trials are no good, they favor men and the wealthy and the connected and the powerful. The only recourse is cancelling. Which is not a thing that happens.

One party can forcefully silence her through the law because he has money, though. He has already started that process.
A cease and desist is a tool to silence those who cannot financially fight back.
Allow her to speak her story. Don't try to silence them. It isn't hard. It's a lot like the The Young Turks and unions: they're all for unions until it happens to them. Same with AngryJoe: he's all for supporting and believing victims until it happens to him. If you truly believe in supporting and believing victims then your first move shouldn't be to lawyer up and send a cease and desist letter because that is a commonly used tactic to silence victims.
The legal process can also be used to force a battle of the wallets or to threaten and silence others. The accusatory tone of the response combined with Joe being the legal aggressor do have me leaning into thinking that's how it's being used here, regardless of what happened.
In a c and d order, the person the order is against is not allowed to talk about the situation further but the person who had the c and d put in place is? That seems a little backwards.
He admits she waited why he took a shower. That alone is inappropriate with a person of the opposite sex that you just met. Or maybe I'm old fashioned.
Calling someone a weiner prick, snekboy, snekmom, scaly boy and shit isn't harassment? If namecalling isn't abuse and harassment then I don't know what is.
If you truly believe in supporting and believing victims then your first move shouldn't be to lawyer up and send a cease and desist letter because that is a commonly used tactic to silence victims.
The statute provides that a person may not “maintain an action for defamation” unless “the person has made a timely and sufficient request for a correction, clarification, or retraction from the defendant,” or “the defendant has made a correction, clarification, or retraction.”

User Banned (Permanent): Inflammatory whataboutism, multiple posts dismissing accusationsQuoteThat's a convenient position to take, when I tell you statistically the majority of accusations are true, or that assault/harassment cases are severely underreported worldwide.My argument is "please don't condemn anyone so easily based on statistic". But fine. Let's play it this way. The false rape accusations are about 5,5% of the cases. Do you know how many murder accusations turned out to be wrong? 3.3%. So according to your logic, murder charges are also always true, in fact more true than rape accusations.

QuoteIm team "This doesnt have anything to do with us"Same. I think the forum would be improved by rules about when these types of threads can be posted. What unique discussion is there to be had here? Many people are baselessly judging the people involved and each other, often using information that may be obsolete shortly after as new Tweets come out. Making a spectacle out of it seems really tasteless. I'm glad this woman was able to share her story, I hope Joe faces consequences if it is true. I'm not really sure what is being accomplished by us all arguing over who is more trustworthy and why. It's just gossip, which again, is pretty tasteless considering the allegations.

QuoteMaybe before the whole process begins and because he claims to be innocent, that's the way to somehow "pause" this thing? Just guessing.Of course this has to go to court to clarify what really happened ASAP.Which is why she should countersue. Exposes the C&D as nothing more than an intimidation attempt.

Era is like any place people get together, some good and some bad. But as a platform it does do a lot more than most places to try and be inclusive and welcoming. Do the mods always get it right? No, but it's better than any other major platform by a long shot.Trying to paint the whole forum as performative woke feels incredibly disingenuous.
Colin is a racist piece of shit, you don't give people like that the benefit of feeling bad for them for being harassed.Colin is a horrible person and deserves to be treated like a horrible person.
"Hello, court, yes, I've got all the receipts."
Not necessarily. I slammed a child abuser myself ten years ago and sprayed his shop, and get convicted for that. I didn’t need any legal proofs to do it and these would have been impossible to collect.It’s obviously cathartic, for a moment, than you need to face consequences, the most uncomfortable is that no one is forced to believe you, even your own parents. Also any accident is possible, it's easy to kill someone with a pinch, I could have been responsible of a widow and an orphan.For that it's better to assume everything in court and just tell the truth, because it's a way to end the circle of retaliation, and any forms of psychiatric history can help to soften a sentence.I am not advocating this as a way to clear problems, because it's not. Scares will stay. It's because I couldn't face him civilly without exploding that I chose to put him physically in the situation where I was as a child.So to bump on the current situations, considering how the legal system is already often inadequate in such matters, companies have a role to help their employees and ex-employees to legally sue creeps who have acted against their salaries, it's not enough to write a statement about inclusivity.

This is off topic now but this Twitter thread is an example of owning your complicity, especially when you benefited from relationships with horrible people, even if you were not an active participant in what they did.QuotePatrick Klepek@patrickklepek·5hI used to associate a lot with Max Temkin—panels, podcasts, etc.—and at one point rented office at the CAH co-work space. Though I privately started cutting ties years ago, the stories of abuse and mistreatment from #CAHIsOver forced me to face my own longstanding complicity.

Have your big city lawyers talk to my big city lawyers and we'll have the rubber stamp ready.

Didn't he used to be quite the 'bro'
You sound like the people that say 'don't wear short skirts if you don't want to get raped'. Yes, you're a woman, just like the person in the video has a black husband, not really an excuse huh.

I've always said if I was ever accused of something bad I'd take a public lie detector test.Wonder if Joe would offer the same.
