Who is this, and why is she so sad?

[-] StoneyDcrew@lemmy.world 39 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I kinda hate the guy so it's hard for me to keep the tone neutral but I'll try my best.

Long story short: He's a popular streamer that had a few controversies that caused many people labelled him as arrogant or egotistical.

The latest one is his take on the "stop killing games" initiative that he was against. He had a video a few months ago were he misrepresentated the movement and spread misinformation (whether or not this was intentional or misinformed is up for debate) and caused a significant drop in the momentum of the movement, refusing to accept any criticism and doubling down on things. That was until recently were the initiative was in the last month and a half before the big deadline at only around 50% of the required signatures, but then huge momentum sprung up with a lot of people marking him as the "villain" of the movement and because of his controversy before it wasn't long before word spread.

This has obviously led to harassment of the guy(which I feel is too far personally) which he responded to by tripling down on his opinion causing further being labelled as the villain. Eventually the momentum carried it over the finish and people are happy that he didn't get his way.

It's not, in his response to the initial controversy he cut out the part of Ross' video that directly contradicted his misrepresentation, he's a lying piece of shit.

Misgendering people is not funny.

The difference is that 30 Rock is not doing it to be mean spirited.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

I think the root comment is just memeing? But I see your point, it's not funny. (Or it shouldn't be.)

[-] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

What does "just memeing" mean here?

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Oh? You're approaching me?

They memed the joke from the show, while i just copied the part from jojo.

I wanted to lure you into revealing your stand.

[-] Default_Defect@midwest.social 5 points 1 week ago

No, you don't understand, misgendering is fine when its someone you don't like, just like how body shaming is great when its a man.

Looking at the upvote/ downvote ratio you might be right
