People News Chris Avellone grows a pair and fights back against being cancelled

[HanoverF]

I had all but given up on this drama. Sad to see they nearly succeeded at Holowka-ing him, glad MCA lawyered up instead. This seems like scorched earth though, he's going to lose money taking them to court. He may be vindicated, but doubtless the narrative will shift to 'sex predator uses court to further victimize his victims'. Gonna have to wait till Monday for the counter-suit and things won't get really spicy until DU is subpoenaed again.

If Chris really wanted to impress me he would have also dropped his Arcanum lp on Youtube

In his victory speech he has to give a shoutout to the 'Dex.

Chris Avellone codex fund when?

I will gladly donate to an MCA Codex legal fund so we can bring out the truth and crush those bitches in court

 

[DeepOcean]

Holy fuck, I bet MCA planned this from the beginning. He waited out the 1 year to accumulate the most financial damage caused by this, then sued the bitches to hell and back. Our boy played the long play.

While possible, winning in court is only half the battle and collecting on a judgment can be easier said than done. Neither defendant seems to be financially successful and/or capable of paying much.

It'll still be pretty funny for these people to have a judgment against them and destroy their credit for life.

While true, Avellone has to pay his attorney out of pocket. Delterius is right that there is a moral victory, but paying an attorney $10,000 - $20,000 to secure it kind of sucks.

He's probably lost way more than that in his career flame-out. This is why his actions are kind of dumb from a self-interest perspective--if he had done this originally it probably would have projected an image that the accusations weren't ip-so-facto correct and some of his employers would have kept him on. There's your cost of living in a leftist bubble, you really believe the nonsense to the point you self-suicide your own career. All the "enlightened" approach of "letting everyone have their say" does is say to the world, "Yes, I'm guilty".

I dont think this was a 4D chess move from Chris, based on his twitter and how he frequently collaborated with those soon to be traitors, he really drunk the coolaid and because he was one of them, he believed they would be reasonable, they would be reasonable and then the thing would die off with things returning to normality, he is doing it now because he finally realized what we know since forever, those people are full of ill intent, it is striking back or having his entire career compromised.

Roguey any idea what Sawyer's take on all this is?

This is even in one of his tweets, the assumption that they were being fair and deserved to be heard. It took him a long time to realize that they didn't actually care about him in the least.

Chris "Machiavelli" Avellone strikes back.

Donate? The fuck are you talking about?

It should be an investment. An IPO. Heck, do altcoins called "Avelloins". Everyone who chips in gets a piece of karissa as a memento.

[Oberon]

I can't wait for based Chris to destroy these hags in court
Best. Birthday. Ever.

This is the best thing that ever happened in my life.

Karissa set her Twitter to private a few hours ago.

when MCA wants to make good writing, he does

would be better he spent all this effort for writing for RPGs instead but oh well

 

[DeepOcean]

After reading the research from u/dreadwhitegazebo on reddit with proper links to back up her claims (I gather all her participation in threads about Chris Avellone in this googledoc with links to the original posts on reddit for your reading convenience ), I really hope Avellone sue the hell out of 'prominent game jouranlists' like Jason Schreier and Jim Sterling as well, what they did was truly disgusting!

Spoiler

TL;DR:

It was not a fucking accusation. It was a PR campaign performed by industry professionals.

The main accuser is a PR lead of Riot Games. She is an old and close friend of Jason Schreier and Jim Sterling.

Also, she has a friend/business partner/patron Andrien Gbinigie Escoblades.

Did you notice that Schreier and Sterling both went extremely hostile against Avellone and Ashraf Ismail? But both never mentioned rape accusations against Gbinigie.

This is what all that was about. These PR folks used Avellone and Ismail to divert attention away from Escoblades (the accuser of Ismail is Escoblades's friend, too). So Gbinigie was not even fired.

I do not agree with an idea that he should come back to work peacefully on tiny indie projects. I really wish him to burn this viper's nest to the ground. Especially cynical unscrupulous hypocrites Schreier and Sterling. It is not only about him. It is also about victims of rapist Escoblades.

Yes, as always, this isnt a case of cancelling mobs forming out of their own to hunt witches, it is always those game "journalist" types that take a story and do a ritual of public shaming based on lies to get the retarded cancelling mob into a frenzy, there is also a network of twitter activists that once a new "story" blow up, they do coordinate campaigns many times making the fake news even worse creating a telephone game effect on purpose so the impact is the biggest it can be.

Chris Avellone is a well known writer on certain niches on game development but he isnt a wide industry known figure like Kojima, the only way those cancelling mobs formed so fast is that there is a whole structure made by game "journalists" and professional activists that hunt for those stories and live of feeding the mob, their whole careers is being professional twitter witch hunters, the more famous the victim, the more notoriety they get. No, suing those tards into oblivion for replicating bullshit isnt doing cancel culture.

Too little too late, nobody cares anymore as the vermin already took their pound of flesh.

The court will care because it will have to deal with the lawsuit. Though if Chris wins, and is vindicated, I think he'll still have trouble getting a job - but that's more to do with the entire industry turning to shit and the wokeism that's burning down America right now. He is still a straight white male after all.

Still, a solid victory might bring a bit of normalcy back and stop the "death by Twitter" band-wagoning.

I will be cheering for MCA to win the court case and clears his name but I just dont get why he waited this much to respond and let the SJWs to wave his scalp for so long.

Im sure this whole drama of destroying a established and respected developer on basis of just words of random women intimidated people in the industry and allowed SJWs to get even more entrenched.

Unless he sues bunch of journalists and gets a big payday I doubt this will change anything.

Hopefully Im wrong resulting in MCA clears his name and starts a purge of the SJW in the industry.

 

[Verylittlefishes]

Because lawyers.

 

[Jenkem]

the odds of avellone winning his case are directly proportional to the size of his lawyer's nose

You olded my post when I was just linking it for context to respond to Infinitron..
You're reaching so hard retard.

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

Honestly, I have no retort or comeback to this.

You should spend another 100 bucks to hire someone who will write a funny and eloquent retort for you.

 

[The_Mask]

It's funny we were all praising Average Joe for threatening with a law suit, and the shrew who slandered simply went: "I'm going to take a break from Twitter for a while, starting now", but now Christopher (will take a while to get used to that one) spins around and slaps with the might of a thousand suns, one year later.

This suit seems to have a decent lawyer behind it. It's no walk in the park. I almost feel sorry for Karissa. Almost.

Well, my wife did leave the house to buy groceries, and she didn’t take my credit card....what’s the worst that could happen?

 

[eilef]

A year late, but better than nothing. Good on Chris for standing up for himself.


I wonder if they will play “Exoneration” video from David in the trial. Imagine that .
