With gaming YouTubers, it's not the first time. Plenty of others who will condemn when allegations are laid out, but the slightest pushback or the most minor thing that was wrong against the accused (or potentially wrong thing where doubt is thrown in), people are then quick to say the person has been redeemed. So, a man can get the presumption of innocence due to his side of the story, and the woman (women) that spoke out are demonized for any slight error. Fuck, I'm so sorry we constantly fail women at every turn (as well as other minorities).

also extremely frustrating that people were willing to believe his "nooo shoes are just a special interest i'm not horny about them at all" shit until he was forced to come out and admit that the interest is at least partially sexual. mediocre men on youtube really can get away with anything

It's simple, no one cares about a "shoe fetish" scandal. That's some shit no one even wants engage in. Add to this that some details were apparently wrong and it becomes a nothing burger
Them namedropping folks like Trump into some feet fetish nintendo youtuber drama really says all there is to say about their inability to compartmentalize and that's why the sky is falling every day every time something that they don't like happens.
if he's "mediocre man on youtube" then why do YOU even care?
I think the real nothingburger happened when it became obvious that “Lady Emily” was just another grasping z-list streamer/content creator.
No one normal is going to painfully disclose—as if harm really occurred—that a guy…bought them shoes, and then asked for photos of them wearing those shoes. Lady Emily wanted to raise her stock, and tried to do so with packing foam as ammunition.
Streamers are a blight.

Trump treats women so poorly that he appointed the ex of his son ambassador to Greece.

But what I think you actually need to hear is: HARDEN THE FUCK UP. If the ghosts of everyone who'd ever gotten genocided, lived as a slave, killed their own brother in a civil war, became a refugee, lived under a fascist dictatorship, got lynched, stormed the beaches of Normandy, walked into a desegregated school while people protested and spit on them, got their legs blown off in 'Nam, lived through the Bubonic Plague, fought as a gladiator while audiences watched them in amusement, and so on could see you right now they would laugh their ass off at how spoiled you sound: "bu-bu-bu-but I might have to actually (possibly) fight for my freedom (potentially) at some point in my life (maybe)? Welcome to the club, it's called humanity!
Yeesh, we don't even have to back that far. Modernday America's got nothing on the civil unrest in the freakin' 60s when the POTUS got his BRAINS blown out, there were daily race riots, every inspirational figure getting shot and killed, thousands of kids getting shipped off against their will getting mowed down halfway across the world, and that's just scratching the surface! In the 1980s people were freaked the fuck out over nuclear armageddon and a braindead celebrity president who wanted to build a James Bond villain-style orbital defense systen literally called "Star Wars" (this brainded celebrity president, by the way, won by a 49-state complete blowout the likes of which are unimaginable today). Life is pretty fucking good in comparison.
If your descendants were to hear you lived at a time when an idiot president with authoritarian design got elected by a 49-48 popular vote margin and they were somehow able to ask you, "Wow, how did you react to that, Great-Great-Relative?" do you REALLY want your answer to be, "I gave up all hope and I whined like a baby on a messageboard and all I had to live for was videogames (and not, like, working on improving my life and others' or anything)?"
Sorry for the memes but you genuinely need to hear this and process it:

Some amazing stuff going on in the drone thread.
Quote:And i will say that normally operating an airport while 100s of unidentified flying objects are in its vicinity is like playing with the lifes of pilots and passengers.
I even wonder why airlines not stop flying, i guess pilots would have a good sight of those unidentified drones and know the risk of such speedy unidentified untrackable drones.
If something happens those airlines would lose billions.
Quote:Fuck off crying Chuck. Completely useless windbag.
Quote:There is an post from an former NFL player in this thread, where people say he films one of those big unidentified drones from an airplane.
As a piltot i surely would contact tower about such sightings, i even would think about going back airborne with such things in the air and hundreds of passengers on board.
Quote:How about you flying your drones in darkness and show us how they can look like in the videos.
People actually checking flightradar and such too be sure they are not known planes.
We are not in the 50s or 70s anymore.
Just effing condescending.
Is there a chance of mass hysteria? Sure.
Is there a chance of it actually being large unidentified drones?
Why not?
