Did somebody @ her something? I can't find anything but I don't know if turning on that setting retroactively removes any messages from people she doesn't follow.

People on Neogaf saw the initial info posted here, probably spread from there.

Edit: this is the image macro floating around neogaf that someone made after seeing the initial posts on here and watching the video:

More like, judge's bitchboy.

This case smells like case where all three are kicked out of court for humiliating courtroom.
You're starting to believe that Karissa can afford a lawyer. I like you.

Personally, I think there may be enough ppl out there that can get her a lawyer through the dismissal attempt. However, if this goes to trial she might be SOL.

He did get a friend of mine drunk though I've seen the photos lol.

Ah, so he does have a habit of getting people drunk. Fits the narrative.
You do realize the woman who is accusing him has dozen of tweets where she asks him to get drunk together, right? Both before and after the terrible night where he DID NOT have sex with her because he respectfully accepted her rejection.

one random person: "Hey Christ, why don't we get drunk together again?"
literally the same exact person: "You're a monster Chris, how dare you get drunk with me?"

Many many years ago I had this exact same shit happened to me. The girl that was introduced to me by a friend of mine had this kind of behavior making desperate signals her pussy is wet and ripe for me to harvest (needless to say all this stuff was happening in the social networking context). She was cute and I thought I’d be stupid not to reciprocate. And then I made this same fucking mistake: sent her a very similar message proposing to have a sexual intercourse (yes, maybe even more blatant and stupid than Avellone’s). Boy was I stupid and boy was this backfiring at me during the many years to come. No surprise it turned out I misinterpreted everything.

Men are such silly things unable to deal with their overwhelming sexuality.

Funny thing is, she liked his tweet which suggests that MCA could probably show us some lewd conversation on her part if he wanted to.

He fucked up his come on. If he'd been a little more subtle he'd probably have had his head betwixt her thighs that night.

I used to think that. Now that I've seen what she looks like, I choose to believe that his subconscious was getting her to fuck off before he ended up with chlamydia.
If he had given her head that night he would have been left facially ravaged by who knows what.

I’m talking red skull/crypt keeper shit

Did he force your friend to drink? You are just butthurt that nobody ever bought you a drink.
Your imaginary friend(i doubt you have any) should have said no. We should ban people from buying drinks. Let's bring back the prohibition. The American Mafia needs a comeback like in the 1930's. Avellone can be the don he always wanted to be. The new Salvatore Lucania(Lucky Luciano for the noobs) who also had great charisma and liked to bang all the whores :)

So casual sex is bad, and sharing friendly drinks too, now ?

Didn't say it was bad. Just that it fits the narrative. And sharing friendly drinks is one thing. "Getting people drunk" is another. I have gotten drunk plenty with my friends but never have "gotten anyone drunk" really.

Any person, at any moment has the right to refuse drinks when offered. No one forced anyone to drink. Unless you're Karissa and you're bringing new information, backed by proof, to the table.

We're all adults here. Or, at least, we thought we were before this kind of crap started to happen.

And I'm not sure where you're going with this. What's the end goal for you here? Because as far as I'm seeing, you're staring at a dead end.

Then it sounds like you are a cheap person who never pays for other people's drinks. Maybe you feel entitled and expect them to buy you drinks?

Unless you are applying any kind of pressure to cause them to drink to excess (such as physically forcing them or trying to pressure them into it) all that you would be doing would be being willing to keep paying for or providing drinks that someone else was willingly drinking.

And while a person can still be trying to target someone to take advantage of them in this case, it is very dishonest to put the agency on them instead of the person who chooses to continue drinking to excess. But people trying to portray themselves as victims will frequently diminish or entirely deny their own agency.

And by all accounts for Chris's case he does not appear to be buying drinks in a targeted manner for manipulative purposes. He seemingly buys drinks for people he is hanging out with regardless of age (well not people under 21 hopefully), sex, or whatever else.

A lot of people may disagree with me here, but to play Devil’s Advocate, I think it’s fair to say that a pattern does indeed exist:

1.) That CMA enjoys/enjoyed frequenting bars and drinking alcohol at Cons

2.) That he enjoys casual and consensual sex with the opposite sex

That he has gotten a reputation as a horny “creep” by some women is not surprising. That there is a perception that he uses his standing and status as a big name game dev (at the time) is also not surprising (nor illegal).

Whatever moral judgements anyone wants to make of those points above is their choice. However, none of this implies that he actively pursued women that were not over the age of consent or that he preyed on inebriated women for sexual purposes.

These things seem to get twisted so easily that being a womanizing jerk who used so-and-so’s friend for sex transforms to predatory creep that then transforms to rapist and abuser. And that’s not right.
