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

[garren]

Chris Avellone codex fund when?

 

[vortex]

What the fuck his name was Christopher all along?

His real real name is The Count of Monte Cristo actually but he hadn't use it for ages.

 

[RNGsus]

It sounds to me like he didn't know how to respond at first (as many who are left aligned do when facing a cancel mob) and just went into a shell. He implies he was pretty negatively impacted and may have even had some suicidal thoughts.

Then after he came around many months later the damage was already done. So when he did finally lawyer up the lawyers advised to go ahead and wait out the full time he has to file a lawsuit in case they do anything else that makes would make it even easier to prove their case as waiting out the year wasn't likely to increase the damage that had been done.

That's what I would speculate anyway.

That's probably the gist of it. He has too many years of development ahead of him to let this bullshit kill his career, I hope he clears the record. He must have thought their shitposting irl wouldn't damage him until he saw devs dropping his name from projects he'd worked on.

This bombshell felt literally when I was packing to go to the vacations in mountains. And I hoped to spend a whole week without checking out the internet. That's what you are doing to me after a whole year of being absent in my life Chris? Thanks.

Moral of the story: stay the fuck away from nerd conventions, specially if you're a dev.

Eh this is only a problem for people who are in a vulnerable public position I would assume, cons are notorious among "cosplayers" for being one continuous orgy.

 

[yes plz]

hopefully he has better lawyers than Vic Mignogna

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.

All fucking video games journalists must fucking hang.

Please, give us Twitter statements by Karissa, the marine-ish dadtard and the usual white knights, o Codex lurkers.

 

[Obsequious Approbation]

Does this mean he will also attack DU's claim in order to prove that he is, in fact, thoroughly gay?

 

[rusty_shackleford]

we need an official statement from Avellone of his position on cook-cook now

 

[Tacgnol]

hopefully he has better lawyers than Vic Mignogna

By all accounts he's hired a pretty prestigious firm, that's no guarantee of course, but it does bode well.

 

[Haba]

We *could* support him covering his legal fees.

Found another one of Avellone's alts.

I'm not saying nudes.

But nudes.

 

[Verylittlefishes]

Karissa is still jobless, right?

 

[Jenkem]

Last year, a woman named Karissa made accusations against me, and so did her close friend, Kelly. The accusations were surprising. They concerned our first meeting almost 9 years ago and they were untrue.

I spent the last year trying to persuade myself these acts were done out of a misguided sense of self-righteousness.

lmao what a fucking SIMP

please remove all simp avellone related emojis

Well, obviously. What else are we all fighting for?

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

I read the whole article Chris wrote and I believe him. I am happy he decided to defend himself. I was afraid that he will try running away from problems.

 

[Saark]

Maybe he wanted to finish that Arcanum Playthrough before going to court.

cringing intensifies

cringing intensifies

the cringing of your butthole, karissa

 

[Verylittlefishes]

Chad Avellone will DESTROY the woke culture in court.

If anything all of this just makes me want to shoot everyone involved in the face for existing

That's the whole point of visiting them unless you are autistic nerd collecting action figures, no?

 

[Kaivokz]

"I swear he ONLY stopped when Scott gave him the dirtiest look I’ve ever seen. He was ready to turn Avellone into paste."
Who is the Scott referenced?

I hope the trial goes better for MCA than it did for Vic Mignogna. Seem like similar cases.

 

[Jenkem]

It's like a nightclub for the people somewhat autistic/nerdy but also still attractive.
