Shitty Player™ Takes

@camtalksgames @TheCartelDel @SmashJT 1) You do understand you can actually trace the timeline of this shit back right? youtu.be/8Wt984FsWic?si…

@PlayerTakes @TheCartelDel @SmashJT

For anyone trying to understand the context of this. (rewrite - please read the final line before replying) Alyssa Mercante (journalist) is suing SmashJT (YouTuber) over what she in court describes as an extended harassment and defamation campaign tied to "videogame culture war". It pretty much boils down to allegations that he: - repeatedly wrongly accused and defamed her across Twitter & YouTube, - encouraged people to ostracize and target her, - damaged her reputation and career, - and contributed to her losing income through journalistic opportunities. The big issue for him is that he apparently just... kept going. Publicly. Constantly. He could have stopped being a horrible person at any time. Even after the lawsuit was filed he just never stopped Tweeting and Streaming talking about her. And there are tons of screenshots, tweets, clips, and YouTube videos documenting it. Now from what we're seeing, he's losing major parts of the case, is reportedly closing in on $80K+ in legal debt, and could potentially end up paying punitive damages on top of that. All because he seemingly refused to stop posting about her online, disparaging her reputation and making false accusatory tweets. Alyssa just wanted to not be falsely accused of weird things and harassed constantly, and SmashJT didn't want to stop attacking, now he's facing consequences of his actions. No winners here, not because Alyssa isn't going to win. But because she DESERVES more money than whatever he can pay for what he put her through.

@TheCartelDel @SmashJT Mercuty then got pissy saying she totally wasn't a sex worker despite her own admissions to doing adult cam shows and having said about going back to sucking dicks previously.

@TheCartelDel No. The context is Alyssa saw a video @SmashJT put out. got so pissy at it she tracked down his wife on social media using her contacts etc. Then started messaging her telling her how she should divorce him. JT, then mocked Mercunty as a former sex worker who did cam shows.

Never let disengenuos retards try to gaslight you or trivialize about censorship. No matter how fucking small it is: Censorship. Is. BAD!

@Mangalawyer Funny really when idiocracy warned us how these kind of people would act going for insult and mocking not cogent arguments. youtu.be/kn200lvmTZc?si…

10 years ago, you would sit down and explain the entire argument for why the state of censorship in videogames is detrimental to any form of artistic expression, whether you personally like what is being censored or not. You would argue that even small acts of censorship have an origin and a cause. They do not appear randomly. They come from a position of power, whether from company executives or the development team. Things that start small eventually grow bigger. Then you realize they already know everything you know, and all they will do is personally attack you before the message spreads and people become conscious of the insidious reasons behind these changes and the amount of work put into them. They will always claim these changes are “unimportant,” yet they still care enough to implement them. So all I need to say in 2026 is: fuck off. No more arguments about censorship. Simply go fuck yourself.

We live in a time of strange contradictions. Hard-core pornography made by amateurs and pros alike is freely available online but we cannot have side boob in a video game for adults. Our society is deeply Puritan but in a backwards way.

How much of a fucking unculture swine and philistine do you have to be to not be upset over art censorship? They literally have people whose professional career is to restore boobs to be seen in paintings.

If you ever start to doubt that Players™ might not be in the wrong, always remember there are grown adults helping to make sure people can see the cleavage on renaissance art and more. It's important enough it's a professional career. #Gaming #Videogames

@msjocelynbanks @uncledoomer No as was pointed out when this shit started. Men were doing the work and picking up the slack.

@uncledoomer So funny because men can do this at their jobs too, they are just medically insecure

its so funny that men found out that this was what women were doing at their jobs and the men went "im crashing this economy with no survivors"

@uncledoomer Yes, and all it took was men taking their foot off the gas slightly and acting like some of these women do just for a little bit at their jobs.

@veryultraviolet Or having fended a lot for himself / his family realised how much people can sustain and help isn't always coming.

you would think that growing up in poverty would give someone empathy for their fellow human being

@wtfcetialpha5 May I remind people.

She looks like a Romulan senator.

Comic fans will post shit like this then wonder why they are getting oblitirated by the manga industry

Being raised in a normal household is conservative propaganda to some

Crazy how the industry practically collapsed to appease to this type of people.

I'm not straight either and I gotta say when people are talkin bout "queer subtext" 99% of the time they are full of shit
