The fucking insanity to believe words (jokes) will hurt more than families grieving actual deaths via bullets and Dave giving tons of money to help them out. You can only shake your head in awe of these Ree lunatics.

When it was revealed that Dave gave money to Daphnes kid for college it was like , yea but fuck ooooooof.

[Averon]

And he can get super fucked because the danger of his transphobia is him constantly pitting trans people and their allies as the bad guys and constantly trying to pit other groups against them. So the idea of him essentially trying to support shooting victims off the back of the trans community makes my blood boil.

They are turning Chapelle into some Lex Luthor-esqe mastermind villain that want to pit black people against trans folks. Are they scared that if Chapelle does charity work for victim of racist violence, or watch his stand-up, black people universally will become transphobic?

User Banned (2 Weeks): Inflammatory Whataboutism

Congrats on those who continue to derail when there’s already a thread to speak about the trial and you already know it’s contentious but continue to harangue despite being told to stop

Are you saying we're not allowed to highlight problematic takes in a thread like this? What about if he preached anti-BLM politics? Would it be thread derail because it wasn't posted in the BLM thread?

User Banned (1 Month): Trolling regarding a sensitive topic, previously actioned for similar behavior. Account in junior phase

Is defending an abuser like Heard not reason enough to dislike someone?

But defending an abuser like Depp is ok? This trial fried y'alls brains. They can both be shit. Ever wonder why Grubbs tweet bothers you guys so much? Think on that

[Pissy F Benny]

Ree will still be bleating on about this long after both Depp and Heard have gotten over it

Official Staff Communication
The queue has been cleared, the thread unlocked, and Zeo's banner updated.

To be clear, staff are not in the business of trying to protect public figures who say or do contentious things. Grubb said what he said regarding the Depp/Heard trial and has to deal with the consequences, and members are free to discuss his opinions in any relevant threads.

That being said, Zeo has an extensive warning and ban history related specifically to dropping into threads to inflame tensions and start fights; they have also been been noticeably absent from participating in GB threads and those concerning the trial this entire time. These two things did not sit well with staff and we did not we believe they posted Grubb's tweets in good faith. However, owing to the above, we did not feel that banning for posting Grubb's contentious opinions would have been appropriate. Hence why they were warned.

However, staff discussed it further and decided that the warning should have been specifically for concern trolling, not derailing the thread, as Grubb's character is relevant in threads related to Giant Bomb. The banner has been updated to reflect this.

We reiterate: Grubb's opinions are free to discuss in this thread. Disagreements about Zeo's warning and relevant staff action are not; they can be taken to the community thread instead. And a final reminder: the Depp/Heard case has been very contentious. Downplaying any abuse and valid concerns of bad faith actors latching onto the trial will be actioned.

ZeoVGM on notice.

Actual good staff message, at least in the context of consistency.  Grubb is not given special treatment despite his industry connections and his Depp/Heard stance is fair game.  The actual message on the trial remains non-committal, but it doesn't really matter in practice since Heard supporters have either been banned or silenced by this point.

I do take issue with designating Zeo as a bad faith actor just trying to stir shit.  Not because I don't believe, but because that has never before been something staff cared about.  People (regular participants or not) could go into any thread they want regarding a problematic entity and bait people into bans with no consequences.  It's telling that the first time they have a problem with it is a male victim with a female abuser broadcasting his truth.

Anyone posting GIFs or any random Tweets from Twitter randos will be permanently threadbanned, you will not be allowed back in under any circumstances. If you want to post news, use legitimate sources of information. Don't use your favorite Twitter follow, we don't care how smart you think they are.

The thread has progressed past the need for twitter randos opinions/non news personalities, no more non news sources

Apparently Jeff Grubb, who is constantly having threads made about things he says about upcoming Xbox games and seems to have sources, is now just a rando on Twitter no one there even knows.

Just also ignore Grubb now being part of the new Giantbomb team.

Chappelle was good in the Norm special. Never associated the two, aside from being two big comics in the industry. Initially believed it to be Netflix throwing its weight around. From it it’s easy to see why he’s revered among the comedian class. That’s got nothing to do with anything specific. But I understand why comedians almost always have his back.

They know they can throw Zeo over the bus because everyone hates him and know he is a bad actor most of the time. Of course, they are going to pretend they never enabled zeo behavior or that they give him again a slap in the wrist.

She's no angel, but it's public knowledge that Depp is a shitty, shitty person with so much more clout and money than her, that it's hardly surprising to me with how public this trial was that public favor was massively vouching for him.

It's the myth of the perfect victim. That's what society expects of abuse survivors, to fit into this mold where they were completely at the mercy of their abuser at all times, never raising a finger to stop the violence they were subject to.

Not to mention conservative media was actively pushing a very specific narrative through advertising.

Abuse survivors that fight back and try to protect themselves when cornered, who are put into positions where they feel trapped and have to keep their abusers at arm's length to keep themselves safe, are often vilified like Heard. She's no angel, but it's public knowledge that Depp is a shitty, shitty person with so much more clout and money than her, that it's hardly surprising to me with how public this trial was that public favor was massively vouching for him.

It's the myth of the perfect victim. That's what society expects of abuse survivors, to fit into this mold where they were completely at the mercy of their abuser at all times, never raising a finger to stop the violence they were subject to.

While I agree wholly with Sonmez here and Weigel needs to be gone, just a point of note. Moira Donegan whose tweet is in the OP, is also the person who wrote an entire article in the guardian siding with abuser Amber Heard and how supporting Depp is misogyny. Not sure if she needs to be highlighted in the OP here. She has no credibility as a journalist after that totally nonsensical article.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/johnny-depp-jury-finds-that-amber-heard-defamed-him-in-op-ed.590196/page-29#post-87883377

One after another, the leftist YouTubers I subscribe to have taken Heard's side in this case, and express their dismay at the outcome and its ramifications. Most of these weren't a huge loss, and of course I can do without all of them.
But one show that I enjoy immensely is Some More News, and now Cody and Katy have come out as being wholly on the side of Heard in this case. I don't really think I can trust their intellectual rigour when it comes to their video subjects when they so obviously put it aside in a case like this.

That is the fucked up part, the moment you doubt some of their content, you end up questioning if all the content has the same problem.
This case shows that the only protection against this is to have access to the source, not the opinions. And unfortunately, it takes a lot of work and hours of free time that we often don't have.

On the one hand, it's unfortunate that they're just turning their witch hunt behavior onto new targets who they once considered allies. On the other hand, none of the people they're doing it to so far are good people. Very complex moral situation.

What's always missing in these takes is that "articles like Heard's op-ed, which never named Depp, can now be legally argued as defamatory" is incorrect.

Articles like Heard's ARE defamatory. It was argued and proven in court. The precedent has been set.

No, no precedent was set. You can't cite D*pp v. Heard in any other case. This is the same mistake those Blue Checks and this random member who was able to have their actionable posts deleted made.

This was always the case. D*pp was able to use Heard's actions Twitter bots and TikTok influencers to convince a jury that he got over the defamation burdens. Anyone could have done this if they had a similar case and didn't care about the cost to achieve it. It's probably happened in the past but didn't involve two billion dollar franchise celebrities.

The activists don't have a fear about a precedent, they don't even care about the specifics of the case, they have a fear that the publicity of this case will cause other people who are wrongfully accused to fight back rather than give up. That's why they're spending all their energy on delegitimizing the process. They're afraid they'll follow another Heard into another D*pp situation.

The Grubb speaks!

This is correct. I was primarily thinking of the people in my life who had never cared about domestic abuse until it happened to an actor they liked. My stance on this case is that I'm desperately weirded out and scared of the people who are obsessed with it. I've seen it used -- again by people in my own personal life -- as a weapon to attack things they don't like.

What is frustrating here is that nowhere in my tweets did I defend Heard. I was never speaking about her. I legit do not care about her or Depp. Their relationship seems complicated, and I don't personally feel equipped to pass judgment on it in the same way that I would not watch my neighbor's divorce proceedings.

I was only ever talking about a group of bad-faith actors who are using the trial to attack the credibility of #metoo. If this isn't you, then I'm sorry that I made it seem that way. If this isn't the first time you've ever cared about the victim of domestic abuse, then I'm genuinely relieved.

This is correct. I was primarily thinking of the people in my life who had never cared about domestic abuse until it happened to an actor they liked. My stance on this case is that I'm desperately weirded out and scared of the people who are obsessed with it. I've seen it used -- again by people in my own personal life -- as a weapon to attack things they don't like.

What is frustrating here is that nowhere in my tweets did I defend Heard. I was never speaking about her. I legit do not care about her or Depp. Their relationship seems complicated, and I don't personally feel equipped to pass judgment on it in the same way that I would not watch my neighbor's divorce proceedings.

I was only ever talking about a group of bad-faith actors who are using the trial to attack the credibility of #metoo. If this isn't you, then I'm sorry that I made it seem that way. If this isn't the first time you've ever cared about the victim of domestic abuse, then I'm genuinely relieved.

This isn't slick in the slightest.

How is that the context of the tweet ZeoVGM posted?!?

User Banned (2 Weeks): Misgendering

When did entertainment have to include only the most well-behaved members of society?

Not that I believe in the justice system or anything, but can we not just let Miller deal with the legal ramifications of what's going on and leave the movies alone? He's one of the better things to come from rhe Snyderverse and no one's gonna care in 5 years if he got arrested a few times over some nonsense.

People are acting like all their favourite pieces of media would exist if rhey just removed everyone with an objectionable personal life. It's Hollywood, not a public service. Maybe direct your righteousness to elected officials and not fucking actors, jeez.

Also:

Yall gotta rush in with your hot takes and poor jokes. Can’t be bothered to read and not misgender Ezra despite it being in the thread title and OP.

Classy.

THANKS MOM

User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissiveness regarding representation, a history of dismissive rhetoric

I don't mind the look of the protagonist. More interested in seeing how his character is written. Genuinely excited about this.

Really? You actually care about the character of the character, and not just their skin color and gender? That’s stupid.

she's imperfect because she thought it was a good idea to star in aquaman

I am so angry that during the whole trial it was never mentioned that Aquaman is 65% on RT. They kept calling it the pivotal role in her acting career. What??

to be fair they didn't specify the pivot from what to what
