If you really wanted to help Americans, of all races, you would be out there fighting for taxing the rich more, lowering taxes on the poorer, ending stupid loop holes in taxes, raising estate taxes so economic disparity doesn't cycle generation to generation, and focus on providing career opportunities to the poor who even if they have the marks have to choose between going to school or not because they can't afford it versus the rich who can afford anywhere.

I'm just so lost on what you're actually trying to accomplish, here.

You start with "Is what he did really that bad?"
Then your argument basically becomes "We've all molested somebody, right? C'mon, guys."
And now it's turning into "Actually you're wrong for shaming him."

Meanwhile, you can't muster anything but "Okay you're right what he did is bad BUT" against the guy that actually did it.

You say you're not trying to defend him or what he did, but you keep making posts that are defending/minimizing what he did while trying to turn it around on us.

smells like projection of his own conscience / attempting to justify his own past actions to me

Ok well theres probably the main nugget of disagreement we're at.

I don't think we can solve problems unless we understand what they are. I have a hunch that public shaming doesn't reduce the amount of sexual abusers in the world.

much of it is limiting the abuse that that specific person is capable of committing in the future. it's certainly going to be harder for somebody like rapist brock turner to assault someone else because anywhere he shows up, people will say "hey, isn't that convicted rapist brock turner?" and be on guard at his every action

I mean isn't the way we deal with crime and delinquent behavior to view it with empathy? I dont have to steal something to know why someone else might. I don't have a mental need to steal things from stores but my butt itches a lot so I understand compulsive behavior and am sympathetic with it to a point. I can't help someone stop stealing unless I understand the mechanics of why our brain forces us to steal.

i don't see how petty theft is even remotely comparable to sexual assault. every post you make deliberately minimizes these crimes and acts like they're exactly the same thing as regular mistakes that people make every day.

This brings me to my original point, have you guys never made a big mistake despite you "knowing better?" I don't know when my last big mistake was but I make little mistakes like that almost daily, and thats after a steady road of improvement throughout my life.

there's magnitudes of difference between what most people would consider to be making a "big mistake" in their lives and sexually assaulting someone. you're either being deliberately obtuse here or the mistakes you're talking about making in your life are beyond reprehensible.

Is he the biggest name brought up so far?

Gotta think Dota is bigger than Smash, and even though I'm not into Dota at all I still know the name. The only comparably big name I know of mixed up in anything here is Joe Miller, who had stuff come out from 2014ish when he was still in the League of Legends scene. The only name I recognized off KP's list above is Nairo.

*Disclaimer: I'm quite well insulated from the inner workings of pretty much any competitive gaming community, so there's a lot going on here that I don't know.

If I had to guess Id say more people know Nairo by name/face, but Tobiwan is overall more known by his voice/casts

A woman is claiming that D1, who I believe is a popular Smash commentator, raped her in 2016.

He already responded to that in a twitlonger which essentially boils down to "I don't remember it".

There's a second accusation by a minor (via the other minor mentioned in Keitaro's twitlonger) who claims at age 15 that she had sex with D1, Keitaro, La Luna, and Anti.

The story is he proposed to his girlfriend on Twitter and everyone dogpiled on him. Apparently he's had erratic behavior before this. It wasn't even 4 hours between him proposing and getting universally dumped on for it and then committed suicide.

His ex-girlfriend. They haven't been together for years and had not spoken in more than 6 months.

Reckful had a well-documented history of manic behavior related to mental illness, which runs in his family (brother committed suicide as well). At one point recently, he was taking large doses of shrooms every single day to cope. It's unlikely that this tragic event was related to responses on twitter to his tweets this morning.

RIP Reckful.

Nairo was the one approached at only 20 years old

I'd have to be VERY generous to make that interpretation of these words. This phrase in particular is completely irrelevant and only serves to absolve Nairo of agency and intent. He was the adult in this scenario; it is his responsibility entirely.

The argument that pjbasis presumably is trying to make is that the situations are different because Cinnpie should have a grooming charge as well. It's incredibly important to be intentional with your wording in situations like this.

I feel like just a little bit of reading told me they are extremely different situations. Nairo was the one approached at only 20 years old, Cinnpie actually displayed proactive predatory behavior at almost 30.

she was 24 but that doesn't change anything about the situation. obviously predatory behavior.

but in nairo's case it doesn't really matter whether he was "approached" or not since Zack was 15 and Nairo was in his 20s. It's Nairo's responsibility as an adult to not have sex with a 15 year old. full stop. no excuses.

it was being broadcast on his channel and he hired the cameraman (or asked his friend) to film him during the convention. if you ask a moron to represent you professionally and he does dumb shit in your name, it's still on you. plus he could have easily said "hey man, don't film in the bathroom".

Actually this is quite off base so perhaps it's partially a failing on my part.

I never insisted this was the only way in fact I said this system we used had problems in like my 3rd or 4th post of this entire ordeal. So check yourself on that. I'm actually just making the opposite point which is that all the critics are acting like this solution was completely asinine and the literal worst possible idea ever and anyone who entertained it is a complete fucking idiot who is no brighter than the scum on my shoe. When in reality it was like > 98% successful or some shit.

and since then you've repeatedly insisted that the problems of this system are due to incompetent, uninformed, or lazy voters.

I think you just can't think deeper than a number, changmas. That is what your position says to me here. I'm illustrating with examples since I failed by just yelling yesterday. Can you follow along with this line of thinking:

-a vast majority of election officials are high risk population
-we must have fewer locations as a result of this
-changing voting locations in an area with 600,000 people is a massive logistical nightmare of a problem to tackle
-the issue is extremely complex and every possible solution comes with its own problems
-the actual numbers attached to the issues that happened (the number of people who wanted to vote in person but failed to do so) are minuscule given the scale of the problem that was being addressed

I'm not saying this is an easy problem to solve, but you are constantly misrepresenting the issue with asinine examples about moving individual voting locations down the street.

You can have fewer voter locations without having 1 for the entirety of Louisville. You can even do so and still adhere to social distancing guidelines! Of course changes will have to be made to accommodate for a global pandemic, but you act like this is some sort of all or nothing thing. Like cutting 90% of voting locations was the only possible solution and that the only failings of such a system should be placed upon individual voters and their own responsibilities.

You are correct in the sense that any change to voting locations will create some nonzero amount of voter suppression. But it's patently absurd to continue to make up trivial examples like "the building burned down and the voting location got moved 1 mile away" and act like that's anything similar to making people drive upwards of 20 miles into downtown Louisville to a single voting location. Especially when they're closing the polls at 6pm.

There's a middle ground here that you simply aren't acknowledging. I'm not asking for Kentucky to keep every single precinct open in the middle of a pandemic, but they could and should have done a lot better than they did.

To keep with the analogy of covid<->fire

Imagine if you woke up and every non-residential building within 5 miles of you was on fire. So you had to drive 6 miles. Would you blame the election people...?

the fact that you continue to think this ridiculous hypothetical has any relevance to 90% of polling locations being closed is baffling. it's just constant false equivalences coming from you.

Does anyone here deny that it would be an acceptable good faith effort to change my polling location during covid to not be inside a building that is literally designed to care for people who are by definition in the high-risk population for the pandemic? Like if they moved it down the road to a church instead of the nursing home. Would you say that would make pretty good logical sense given covid?

Well if you think that then you accept that any good faith effort by the state to adjust the voting process would by definition create nonzero voter suppression. It would literally be impossible to do it without some degree of voter suppression because by the definition if you make a single person's voting location be farther away from them than it was before, you have made it more difficult for them to vote and thus, voter suppression.

there's a massive difference between moving your voting location down the road and closing 90% of voting locations. this is a complete and total false equivalence.

Sure. I accept that if even just 1 individual tries their very hardest to do everything in their power to vote and is denied the ability to do so by the system (read that carefully~), then yes voter suppression has occurred.

The entire point that you are incapable of understanding, apparently, is that individuals shouldn't be forced to try their very hardest to exercise their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. The fact that people even have to "try their very hardest to do everything in their power to vote" IS a form of voter suppression. Because they've made it harder for certain groups of people to vote (those who vote in person, those without access to transportation, etc.). Making it harder to vote IS a form of voter suppression. The fact that you only consider it voter suppression when it is made literally impossible for individuals to vote is the problem here; your very definition of voter suppression is wrong.

Also, I always love when they show pictures of people who try to rush the polls at the end at stations that were dead all day and try to show how that was voter suppression. Show the polling station all day to provide context if the argument is voter suppression.

You're looking at it skewed. Should people have been able to anticipate long lines or needing to request ballots or having to find transportation to vote? Sure. Should they be expected to? Hell no

Voting isn't a privilege, it's a right. You shouldn't have to jump through hoops, no matter how "reasonable", to do it. In practice, that means giving everybody eligible an opt- out mail in ballot, allowing everybody who shows on time to vote, and not reducing the number of polling places/area to below some acceptable threshold

This exactly. This isn't the same thing as a concert or a basketball game or something, where the venue can just close the doors with people in line and tell them "tough luck". It's a matter of denying people's constitutional rights, no matter how knowledgeable or prepared each voter is. Puns keeps saying things like "it was in the news for weeks! they should have been prepared", which aren't very good reasons to deny someone their constitutional rights, which are guaranteed to all citizens no matter how 'prepared' they are.

Also, the State Senate republicans in Georgia tried to sneak additional protections for police into HB 838, including making crimes against cops considered "hate crimes".

This topic reminded me that the world chess championship is this year, then i realized it was in Russia and that it probably won't be this year because of covid :(

the candidates tournament was in April, also in Russia, and made it halfway through before it was cancelled due to COVID. It's somewhat controversial though, because the current leader of the tournament (MVL) only got to participate because Teimour Radjabov dropped out due to concerns about the coronavirus. And in retrospect, he was completely right. So it's still unclear whether they would allow him to participate whenever the tournament resumes, since he's "missed" the first half of it.
