I can't believe I and Tubesock Army are on the same side. I feel unclean.

It is pretty wild that Zak S is accused of being a sex offender. It's wild that his ex, is suing him for being a sex abuser/offender and defamation. Just wild.

Fake accusations on the internet are pretty normal.

Like: you spreading misinformation doesn't change my heartbeat. This is the job. This is my life now: documenting the harassment, fact-checking the people lying.

I see stuff, I screencap it, I index the file in case I need it later.

This seems like an incredibly sad way to live one's life.  I'm reminded of the Shelter Skelter story from the old Twilight Zone where a survivalist who's built a huge bomb shelter winds up surviving a nuclear accident, thinking the Ruskies have dropped the bombs he stays holed up in his shelter and becomes completely unhinged, thinking rescuers are likely pillagers and refusing to come out.

Then you're being too dramatic and thinking about it wrong.

I don't know you, so maybe you're loling it up having a grand time arguing with strangers on the Internet and filing random peoples' comments in case it goes to a courtroom at some future date, but that sounds miserable to me and the sort of thing that would make me rethink a lot about my life and maybe schedule some time with my therapist about lasting trauma from the fallout with your ex.  But if this is a better time for you than doing art and streaming games with porn actors for money, then hey, you do you.

You're not understanding it.

Working in any kind of entertainment (which is often fun) means that you are going to have to do legal stuff and keep track of stalkers and trolls in case they become dangerous.

You do both things. Without even going into my real job as a painter even just game designers --all of them get harassed pretty much constantly. You either take steps or you don't get to do the job for long.

It's a trade-off, it's the way the business works. If that would send you off the deep-end: try not to do anything that the internet takes an interest in.

That's how it's always been.

It shouldn't be that way, but so long as lying all the time about people is just lulz that's how it will be.

Personally I think trolls kind of like it that way, a lot of them have admitted that they're frustrated with their lives and see people who get even tiny game-designer-level recognition as bigwigs to be Take Down. So they dogpile.

It's stupid but it's a price you pay for doing fun things for a living.

As much of an ass as Zak is (and you are an ass, Zak, don't even fuckin' start), I think the worm is definitely turning against people lobbing questionable accusations willy-nilly.

I will refer you to H.L. Mencken's quote: "The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all."

Hold your nose if you have to, but don't ever forget the shitheads will happily stalk YOU after they collect Zak's scalp.

You saw what he did when Jeff jumped to deffend him?

I won't join the woke mob, I will also not do what Zak wants and form a mob to go after anyone he thinks is talking ill about him.

Fun things like getting counter-sued for defamation and sexual abuse?

I literally just said if a dude thinks I lied he should say what I lied about.

That isn't asking anyone to "form a mob"

That isn't about " talking ill about him" that's about lying.

Also: you said you were going to ignore me. But you're still talking about me.

No, that's the job part, not the fun part. Please try to keep up.

[I HATE THE DEMIURGE I HATE THE DEMIURGE]

I do not need to keep up. As someone who practices physiognomy, I can tell all that I need about you, via your sloped brow, small eyes, and large ears. If it was up to me, I would sentence you based on your physiognomic traits. Alas, I am not - but I will caution the users. Zak S has the physiognomic make up of an immature pest. The arch of his brow is not low enough to be criminal, but enough to make a nuisance of himself.

Truly, physiognomy is a lost art.

You just sound racist to me.  EDIT: I meant douchey

I'm moving this thread to Pundit's forum. He can take it from there.

Fair enough. Whatever this thread is, it's not really about RPGs anymore, if it ever was.
