So arguably the best part of Polygon (e.i. Nick Robinson and Griffin McElroy's video series and podcast) are almost definitely done for good now that Nick has been ousted for being a sexual predator.

I'm so angry at Nick. Given the amount of people who have out about this abuse, I don't think this is some vindictive conspiracy that an individual has created against him. I hope the allegations are false, but I really doubt that they are at this point.

Anyone else feeling really rattled by this whole thing? I feel so creeped out and all the stuff they made that I love is now tarnished in my mind.

Wow, this conspiracy theory sounds a lot dumber than him just turning out to be an asshole.
>>
>>386253982
Apparently this was a pretty well-known allegation before it blew up, kinda like Cosby in the comedy industry.

Gotta wonder how much griffin and other polygon staff were aware of. Ben Pack at giant bomb is still friends with Nick from when they were interns for GB. He literally mentioned hanging out with him and his family at an arcade on last week's bombcast. Gotta wonder if he had any suspicions as well.

I'm not holding it against them for not trying to uncover this earlier or something, or saying that I suspect they did know anything. It's just creepy to think that this is something that was going unchecked for so long, and that it came from such a seemingly nice person.
>>
>>386254073
literally who?
>>
If you pay attention, you will notice that no one has actually accused him of anything. Only hinted and insinuated, and changed the discussion to "well you shouldnt ask for proof, you sexist" so fast, that no one seems to notice that they havent actually accused him of anything.
So now, if he defends himself, they'll just use whatever he denies. its a classic kafkatrap.

The closest thing to an actual accusation anyone has made that i've been able to find is "he's mean".

Dont ask for proof. Ask what he's accused of.

Lmao this conspiracy is about 100x more stupid than GG. As if EVERY women in games industry would be okay with falsely accusing someone with sexual abuse and this was the ONLY way a new journalist could make it into Polygon.

>The closest thing to an actual accusation anyone has made that i've been able to find is "he's mean".
He was specifically accused of making unwanted sexual advances towards women repeatedly, both on and off twitter. It STARTED with him making a mean comment at a game dev, then someone on twitter made a dig at him alluding to how he creeps on chicks, then it snowballed from there when some people realized they could finally talk about it.

>>386254473
As much as I'd love to see evidence for my own curiosity, you're wrong dude. Keeping the evidence private is not about sexism. It's about making sure the victims don't get doxxed, which would undeniably happen if evidence came out (hell, people are already trying to go after people based on conspiracy theories of who is trying to accuse nick).

The correct investigate bodies are looking into it (Vox and perhaps soon the police).

We can't know 100% if it happened or not. But given the amount of people who are claiming this is true I don't have a lot of faith this is false as much as I wish it could be.

The whole thing is honestly 100% unbelievable.

Given how vocal the SJW journalist clique is, why would they keep something like this quiet for months?

Why wasn't the very first time he "DM'ed someone for nudes" screenshot and publicly posted? Why would all these women just appear out of nowhere to provide "evidence" about some mythical sexual harrassment that he's implicitly guilty of and has been doing for months and potentially years.

The neogaf thread is amazing. Seeing all the tweets from people associated with him just burning the bridges as fast as humanly possible. Like the 2 guys (kessler and ben pack) who they did podcast with him cancelling the podcast in 'disgust' and how they'll never forgive what he did.

They're just doing it out of fear that if they don't react this way, then they're going to be next one thrown under the bus.
>>
>>386255385
This so much.

Nick Robinson may have been funny on a video about cars a couple times but what the fuck. Polygon is the biggest trash heap that "industry" has. If the best Nick could do was Polygon then maybe he deserved to get chewed out by SJWs for working for an SJW shithole.

Griffin, and subsequently Nick, have a few video series where they just fuck around in x game or x engine and it's funny as fuck. They are legitimately the only reason most people follow polygon at all, since everything else is either awkward or lacking since Griffin is genuinely funny and knows how to act.

>>386255486
because the second proof is shown the victim will get doxxed by GG/alt-right types.

I don't follow any of that shit, so I'm not quite sure what happened, but if "Nick manipulated a woman for nudes" then I don't even give a fuck. If you send someone nude photos that's your own decision. OP makes it sound like he's a violent rapist or something.

*who* accused him of making sexual advances? I cannot find anyone. I can find a lot of pople claiming they've HEARD that he does. Insinuating, whispering. I have yet to see anyone simply state: "I know he does this", or anything to that effect. It's all comically vague.

>someone on twitter made a dig at him alluding to how he creeps on chicks
Exactly. ALLUDING. No one has done anything beyond that. that's as much as anyone I've found, has done.

If you look a people statements - the "women of the industry", they are all saying that they *believe* the *rumors* because they *know* he's a dick. If you have actual accusations, I'd love to see them.

>>386254920
I dont care about seeing evidence. I dont care about Nick Robinson. Fuck him. OF COURSE "keeping it private" is not about sexism, that's what I'm insinuating myself. It's just an easy escuse to not have to commit to any particular statement, because no one actually knows what to indicte him for.

For my money, there's probably no "conspiracy". probably just mass hysteria, and people falling over themselves to a) avoid implicating themselves b) burn the witch.

Look at ben pack, and griffin, that fat dude who used to intern at GB. They are all washing their hands - not because they know something, but because they are cowards, and afraid they'll get dragged down in whatever this is. you would be, if you've seen this go down before, and you live in those circles. Fat guy was easiest to read, but they are all doing it.

Then, people read them washing their hands as "proof" that there is something to wash their hands from, and the whole thing snowballs.

It's funny nobody can even agree on what he's being accused of

This whole thing's weird. It was a comment by one dev about him being a sex pervert and then the floodgates opened and everyone hopped on him. Why now? Why wasn't he blackballed ages ago if it's such an open secret? It's not like he's a super powerful guy, he's just some video producer.

Yes, obviously its the "smart" thing to do, if youre a coward. No once arguing against that they are minnimisint the possible fallout towards themselves.
Saying it is "wise", however, is a massive overstatement, or a very low expectation to what amounts to wisdom.

you know what they could have done, that wasnt "supporting him"? Saying nothing at all. That, actually, would have been "wise" - unless they know something, and want to vitness against him. Which they all hillariously say they dont! it's all "I din see nuffin, belief da victims tho"

Because at the end of the day, supressing sexual desires causes them to be worse in most cases.

Alternatively, sex is a big bad thing unless done in a very specific way in the SJW crowd so the moment someone insinuates or rocks the boat, everyone will come crashing down on them because its expected to and they want to help the original accuser be heard and validated.

It's scary how well this works at a psychological level. And it transcends the whole SJW thing.

If a bunch of people dislike a person for whatever personal reasons they have, they'll latch onto any insinuation that he/she's done something actually deplorable because it makes them feel better to have a reason to say "fuck that asshole". Like if someone made a joke that insinuated that the weird dude at work killed stray cats, it would be easy to latch on to that and keep it going because it's a lot easier to hate him when you can believe he does something like that.
>>
The whole thing is hilarious whether it's true or not.

If he actually did fucked up stuff, it just proves the point that all these virtue signalling beta males at Polygon are usually the fucking terrible people that they so love to rally against

If it's false and there's no evidence and it's literally just "he came onto me and I wasn't attracted to him" so I'm accusing him of harassment", it still proves that these losers will turn on anyone for no reason because of how paranoid they are about a wom being slightly upset.

>>386254903
>Dude was way too thirsty. Fucking obvious.

>The real "we r legion" BS to pull right now would be to falsely set up Ben Kuchera
This is where you're wrong. It's WAY HARDER to falseflag someone who is against you than it is to falseflag someone who is with you. Because if you try it against someone who is your enemy, you're immediately suspect.
However, if you take someone who was on your friends list and just suddenly disown him, that gives a lot more credibility to your statements.

It's way easier to stab a guy in the back than it is it stab him in the front. Whether that's what is happening or not isn't relevant: what is relevant is that of all these rumors, no one has come through with any proof. Not even doctored screenshots yet. It's all hearsay at this point.

By saying he is shocked, angry and deeply deeply saddened he is communicating that he believes the allegations are true and because he has a close connection other people will assume that he his feelings are a legitimate indicator of Nick's guilt.

He could have said he doesn't know what to think or believe but instead he chose to vocalize emotions that show he denounces the act and separates himself from it which legitimizes the claim.

This is gently throwing Nick under the bus, which will not be gentle.

What the hell is an "unwanted sexual advance"
If you hate this guy enough it could literally be him saying he finds a girl sexy or hitting on her, which is fine if you're not a complete lunatic
Also funny how there is not one piece of proof that he even did any of this
Because responding to a woman on twitter is an "unwanted sexual advance"
And how would a "wanted sexual advance" work exactly?
Does a woman need to come to you first?
But wait then she is making an unwanted sexual advance

I don't get what the deal is. Seems incredibly shady and weird. So far his crime has been what? Attempting to get with women through twitter using his clout in the games industry?? People have been doing this since the beginning of time. This may not be squeaky clean behavior but its hardly as damning as all these people are acting. On top of that we don't even have any proof! No screenshots, no definitive testimonies, just weird whispers. Seems to me like a random attempt to ruin a mans career for no reason, and people are actually buying into it.

It's not appropriate for people with influence to come onto those without it. This is why it's sexual harassment when a boss flirts with someone beneath him, even if he doesn't do anything and stops when she says no. It creates a pressure on the submissive individual to heed to the more powerful parties demands so they don't risk losing the ability to get ahead. That's why it's fucked up for him to be a serial "creeper" as has been alluded to.

Is it reasonable to feel that way? Sure. Does it legitimize the accusation for people who are out for blood? Yes. Did he know this would be the result of the tweet? Given the nature of their work and the audience, I would say that is a big yes.

I never said he was lying about how he felt. I said he deliberately distanced himself which is an indicator of guilt to the targeted audience.

He threw Nick under the bus.

Chris Grant, founder of polygon, raped and killed a girl in 1990. I've heard that a few times today and I'm starting to think it's true.
>>
>>386259456
No, he has a lot of influence in his field as a popular video producer with a large following and professional network. This is why him simply "flirting" with women in the industry would be inappropriate; they are influenced to do what he wants because upsetting him or rejecting him could inhibit them from succeeding.
>>
>>386259490
He's part of that system, he deserves anything he gets. Simple as that.

You do realise that if you are still championing the Gamergate movement or anything of that sort, and you rush to his defence, then anti-GG'ers will just have more ammunition to throw at you because it looks like you'll defend anyone who 'sexually harasses' someone? The facts, unfortunately, don't really matter.

He is. People close to the situation have been hinting at a bombshell that will completely exonerate him from all this bullshit.

From my understanding, Nick tweeted an e-mail from the Overcooked devs asking for a bunch of information (are you playing on wifi or a wired connection?

Dodgy a fuck potential smear campaign against Nick Robinson, all these allegations of him being a sexual predator but literally no evidence has been brought forth, no screencaps, no testimonies, nothing. He called some Switch port of a game shit, someone threw an allegation at him, people crawled out of the woodwork to vaguely post that it was true.

Until the 'victims' group together and present actual evidence, it seems likely someone got mad at something and did the usual sexual harassment allegation, which is all you need these days to ruin someone's life. Especially a man's life.

Oh come on. Practically all of his friends lean left because he's so far to the left himself, there's nobody who would be willing to defend him because ''listen and believe'' is a key part of the ideology nowadays. And when there's not a single person who's willing to stand up for you, guilt is all but presumed.

Again, this is all of his own making. Let's not pretend you can just accuse a random person on the street of sexual harassment and get away with it.

That's part of the problem with this entire thing. It's entirely possible he was doing something that should get him fired, but nobody will outright say it or give proof, claiming it's protecting the victims. But what are they victims of? This has been going for a day now, and people still have no clue what his problem actually is, which makes me think it's maybe he's just a sleazeball.

Honestly, I'm a fan of all the Nick and Griff stuff but this controversy has made me realize that I don't really care for Nick and I never found him funny. Griffin is the star of the show, and Nick is just kind of a person to bounce quips off of. If CoolGamesInc or Touch the Skyrim was just Nick Ft. someone else I doubt i would even watch it. At the end of the day I'm a Mcelroy fan, Nick is just a side character that is just there. It doesn't matter to me if the allegations are true or not, I'm mostly bummed that this is gonna put a stop to content with Griffin.


I can't be the only one that feels this way,

r-r-right?

For me, I fucking hate how immediately everyone publicly denounces him via vague tweets.

If it's true, and this is some open-secret thing that everyone's letting on, then why the FUCK are Griffin and co only coming out NOW? That makes them look gross. This will make Grffin's shit + Bombcast super hard to listen to because it will make me question their entire integrity.

If it's false or blown way out of proportion, then why fucking disown the guy? If this is the case, then Griff+Bombcast will be impossible to listen to because I'll assume them to be opportunistic.

And I just fucking know that no one will even address this shit on their podcasts. Just fucking tweet it out and say NO, DON'T TALK ABOUT IT THO, like what the fuck? It's legitimately disgusting behaviour. Polygon now only has Monster Factory.

Griffin and his wife run a bachelor/ette fan cast and wont even cover the next season of BiP because of the sexual harassment allegations that suspended the filming of that season. They didn't cover the "men tell all" episode this week because one of the guys is a shitty racist who just stirs shit up.
Nick is synonymously tied to Griffin, and Grif wont touch him again with a mile long stick after this.

LOL.

If this is actually it, mildly flirty DMs that are consensual.

I'm gonna fucking die of laughter as all these retards scramble around after throwing him under a bus for no reason.


Nick and Griffin are soft, sure. But they still slip bits of comedy into their stuff that's great. To quote Ben Pack, "I think Kevin Lavigne was reall brave when he said, "I'm like Tarantino, i'm not afraid to put Vigors in my game."

Because of their status they can push the boundaries of comedy like that (Which SJWs would usually shut down immediately) And still get away with it.

This is a step back for comedy, I can only imagine everyone getting a bit more PC after this and not wanting to overstep some arbitrary boundary.

That's what i'm most sad about. This is a step towards the death of comedy.

and he himself is not only entertaining but honestly has good taste and interesting thoughts/analysis, you can see he genuinely cares about games, does research and plays a shit ton of different stuff. followed him since Rev3 and honestly i can just tell all this is are some perhaps inappropriate, but fairly light sexual messages that don't warrant any kind of drama like this, let alone ruining a man's life and career.

If I go into Mexico and sell Paco an orange, Mexico's GDP has gone up. If fifty thousand Pacos come into America and work menial labor, agricultural, and service jobs that would otherwise go to low-skill and teenage Americans, America's GDP goes up. GDP is not the be-all end-all of immigration and national policy.

Also, the new immigration policy still permits people to come in, it just favors people with high IQs. Are you worried that Pajeet, Wong and Sven won't vote for you as readily as Amir, Pedro and Jamal?

Correct. However, people with high IQs do have a higher likelihood of achieving proficiency in high-skill jobs. Doctors don't have 105 IQs.

Oh, this old cock and bull. You and I both know that racial IQ disparities stay relatively constant despite both environment and method of testing.

See, but that's actually wrong. I kinda alluded to this but it's worth spelling out.

John McCain and Donald Trump, despite both having (R) next to their names, are not on the same team. Most of Congress and most of the bureaucracy that call themselves Republicans are what we either call "neocons" or "cuckservatives." This is the controlled opposition wing of the party and would in fact actively work with the Left to crush Trump if there were any there there. A smaller set, of which Trump is a part, are libertarians which suck, but hey strange bedfellows and civic, unfortunately nationalists. The health care shit, the tax reform garbage, the warmongering against Syria and Russia, all in the lap of the cuckservatives, and Trump's job is to get them out of power.

I know that, as a Democrat, it's difficult to grasp these fine distinctions among literal reincarnations of Hitler, but they're important for understanding the Republican Party dynamic. The two factions -really- do not like each other and their being at each others' throats explains what you think is the administration being in shambles.

He kept pestering people for nudes because he's a retard (allegedly).

Bah reading the tweets from only the last hour remember me why I hate women.

it's literally just girls flirting with him and later regretting it. one girl already posted screenshots

I only read it and I feel like I've been molested.
What a total bastard.

So when does the police get involve to do an investigation or is this just classical witch-hunting?
>>
>>386256472
No one has because then they'd have to pay him when they lose a defamation suit.

When did

Become a fucking introduction?
That's some private shit but now people wear it like a badge of honour?
I mean, it's not a thing to be ashamed of, but fuck me if it's become something to be proud of.

It's worse for me man. I've realized a long time ago that we're not better than cavemen. We all hide it behind our greatest achievements, our sciences, our medicine, our culture, our cities, our technology, etc. but we're really no different than the cromagnon fucks wacking females on the head and dragging them to our caves, things are just different, but the behaviour remains the same.

For example, back in Cromagnon's day there was reasons to be wary of outsiders, another tribe could come in to kill you, take your caves, your hunting grounds next to the river where deer are always prancing around, kill you all and take your women, etc. Guess what happens now? we need to remind people that no, not every mudslime is trying to blow you up, not every mexicunt is stealing you job, not every black man is stealing you pure white women, etc.

Possession of a penis with the intent to possibly use said penis is against any truly enlightened law system and rightly so!

Wow it's almost like our society has a really fucked up way of handling sexual assault cases.

IT SEEMS FATE IS NOT WITHOUT A SENSE OF IRONY
>>
>>386267220
Wow it's almost like the insinuation that sexual cases don't require any evidence is all it takes for people to throw someone they don't like under the bus, with the pretense of "i always knew he was a creep"

They're trying to normalize mental illness so it isn't even considered an illness anymore. Basically anybody who's a tranny, bipolar, schizophrenic, pedophile, whatever, are fine just the way they are and don't need to be treated.

This is so edgy it hurts.
You really don't appreciate the amazing strides humanity has achieved, do you?
Oh who am I kidding. This is /v/, surely you guys are the pinnacle of optimism and appreciation.

>I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I'm nauseous

Jesus christ lol. It's not like Nick is part of the new world order. The things she showed are just comedic and flirty.

>why would a 26yo want to fuck an 18yo?

Is this a real thought? How is that supposed to be gross at all? Sure, I'd razz my friends if they were fucking barely legal girls, but it's not horrible

and

>is a 'big virgin' but sends nudes

of course.
>>
Fuck this shit so much, I always enjoyed his videos and tweets and now it's all never coming back just because some stupid slut regretted nudes.
>>
>>386267580
not that guy but you dont even need to be edgy to see that for all our advances as a species we individually are mostly controlled by are base needs and biology like we've always been

ALSO I *NEVER* LIKED THIS GUY NOW THAT EVERYONE ELSE IS SAYING IT AS WELL

>I'M A WHITE GUY WITH A BEARD AND GLASSES WHO ALWAYS POSE WITH OPEN MOUTH IN PICTURES AND I AM *ALSO* VERY IMPORTANT. I WILL RETWEET THIS AND SAY THAT I AGREE, SO WOMEN CAN SEE HOW SENSITIVE I AM AND MAYBE I CAN GET LAID ONE DAY

>>386267349
That's pretty much what I'm saying, yes.
It's even worse for people that are being accused of sexually assaulting a minor. Even if you're found innocent your life is still ruined.
>>
>men more attractive and approachable than me can have their lives ruined in an instant just from flirting

wizardry here I come
>>
>>386256702
>The people who have been affected by Nick have every right to keep this shit private to the people who need to kno
Fuck you why should the accuser remain anonymous while the accused has their life destroyed before they even step into court? Eat fucking shit both parties should be forced into the light or not at all

Our monkeysphere can't adapt to the speed ease of communication, travel and interconnectivity of the modern world?
Makes sense.
We've had the technologies that facilitate this way of life for less than a generation and we've had the rest of our existence as a species driving us to operate the other way.

Oh, I appreciate them alright, I don't like dying of dissentery for one. But I'm also not gonna pretend we're somehow "better" than we were before when evolution takes tens of thousands of years to work and we're advancing as a civilization at a much, much faster rate than before. Hell the last 100 years have seen far more advancement of our civilization that the last 2000

let's just not delve too far into her personal shit. That's what got GG discredited and out of focus entirely. Let her speak her shit, allow others to feel the need to speak theirs.

No sense in scaring people away so soon.
