Spending money on Marketplace.tf

I intend to stimulate the economy by holding onto it and shaming anyone who spends it in ways I disagree with.

Guys

I promise you

These are very silly ideas

This is also uncalled for.

Dogpiling on people who have done something wrong is just a way to get your fix of bullying.

It was wrong for Steph to do it earlier, and it's wrong of you to do it now.

Call out bullying when you see it. Don't become a bully yourself. I know it feels good to act the way you're acting. That doesn't make it right.

Steph, you're being a bully.

If we could just make people be accepting and trusting, we'd have the level of influence on individual people such that we'd be able to prevent them from fucking raping people.

It's a nice thought to "let's all get along and not create a toxic environment", and sure, I agree. Nothing wrong with that statement.

But when you try to act as if Uber or any other victim is fucking responsible in any way for rape, you have forfeited entirely the right to go on about this fantasy world of yours as if you're an honest participant in this conversation.

You are (terribly) hiding your true beliefs behind a poorly-constructed veneer of "well I just think everyone should be nice that's all"

My mother was raped by her uncle as a child. She told people. She was informed that she was a liar, a bad person, a fraud. Her relationship with the rest of her family was irreparably and unjustly harmed because she tried to do the right thing.

He raped others. Even after she said something. Everything she went through was for nothing. That stupid bitch should've said something, huh?

The decision a victim has to make is not an easy one and it is not one you get to judge from your Gamer High Chair. You know it's not as simple as "if you had just said something this wouldn't have happened to someone else." Without indisputable evidence of wrongdoing, the victim has to take the huge risk of potentially being ostracized from the very community they're seeking to help and be helped by. Chances are good that they won't be believed, that the community will be split, and the victim is further fucking traumatized.

To speak up is to relive, in great detail, being raped. It is to be questioned and doubted at every turn. It is to have perceived inconsistencies called out and further explanations demanded of you. It is to potentially destroy relationships you have with people you love because they don't believe you. By speaking up, you are placing yourself under more scrutiny than the person you're accusing of fucking rape. And in the end, after all that pain, after all the bullshit and relived trauma, you might simply be discarded as lying trash. You may well have helped nobody, had your reputation tarnished, and the net result is that the victim is only further victimized.

It is not your place to demand these things. Kindly shut the fuck up.

I'm sorry this happened to you. I'm trying to think of something uplifting to say but I doubt anything I personally said could have any real impact.

I feel, in some way, responsible for my role -- such as it is -- in legitimizing Dashner through Ready Up / Rewind / etc. I know these are just a small part of his involvement in TF2, and my ability to "legitimize" someone isn't... much, but Ready Up was funded because of me and is still hosted on our YouTube. I'm open to thoughts as to what, if anything, to do on that front -- it wasn't solely Dashner's project, but he is listed prominently in the credits.

I was aware -- very vaguely -- that Dashner is an abusive person (though the only things I was aware of at the time were essentially him yelling at people), and I should've had the foresight to not involve myself with him. It wouldn't have changed anything, but mistakes were made that shouldn't have been.

I appreciate the strength it takes to write a post like this. I'm sorry that you had to.

Hats Equal Skill

yo wtf I'm not in any of these lists???

Whatever country Sideshow is in at any given moment

Has nothing to do with me other than that I know the people involved in the event that is referred to as "footrest".

Basically just shaming people for being different. Typical for small people.

I can't go a single Twitch stream or Reddit post without someone bringing up "footrest" in an attempt to hurt me.

Sad thing is, it only hurts me because I'm protective of the people who were actually involved in that incident.

I'd rather take it than have it be directed towards them though.
