I really think Undead Scottsman hit the nail on the head earlier. These guys are so far out of their wheelhouse on this topic and don’t know how to handle it. But that doesn’t mean they can’t do better. Definitely gettin vibes of the failure to respond on gg from the whole thing. Don’t blame y’all for cancelling in the least, though I’m willing to wait to hear what they say about Temkin specifically on the Beastcast.
I imagine that the Beastcast might want to also bring up Jack Gallagher.

Aw fuck, Jack Gallagher's a piece of shit too?
Extremely so
So bad that WWE basically immediately fired him once the accusations came out and they are historically very happy to take hollow gestures and keep abusers on
He was a bit of a sacrificial lamb for bigger name talent that was accused but still he is scum
I think it’s because these people, predominantly men, are charming that they can get away with heinous shit. A contributing factor, but not the root cause
Sometimes abusers are extreamly charming to people that aren't their targets and that's how they hide themselves, sometimes they're blatant about it, sometimes an abuser acts weak until they abuse.
Abusers do a lot of things so that if they are ever revealed as abusers people will think the abused will have deserved it.
yeah the thing is no one thinks "i'm an abuser", they think they're wonderful people who get what they deserve. and the knock-on of that is that sometimes, they act like wonderful people

Gallagher's situation seems to be less manipulative and more of a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde situation where he has these sick outbursts of violence or sexual aggression that he admitted to and tried to make amends for.
I think he absolutely thinks "I'm an abuser" and he tried to apologize but the first woman told him not to message her so he just has to stew in it.
...which considering he could be stewing in prison he should probably feel pretty relieved that all of his suffering is mental.

basically I'm remembering that weird, awkward front-page breakup stuff that happened with hellchick(?) back in the early mid aughts and really looking at it through a new lens.
also FYI a former(?) forumer just had a twitter thread on how Myke Cole being a missing stair
I'm trying to figure out what this means.
Missing stair is a term generally used to denote someone that their friends recognize is a problem, but instead of choosing to openly deal with it they "manage" the person and warn people about it quietly.
The idea being that if a staircase has a missing stair, that's a problem, but you can step around or over it, and kind of let people know it's there and they can avoid it, but it's not really fixing the problem

Vinny opening the preshow with a content warning is something.

The original blog post being about how there was a guy in the local BDSM scene who had "consent issues" and, while others in the scene warned people about it, was still very much a part of the scene.
Until they decided to fix the metaphorical missing stair and kick out the rapist.
Critical Role is coming back off hiatus on July 2nd, looks like everyone is in the same studio at their own tables that are like ten feet apart and they're pre-taping everything instead of going live
Wow, GB East absolutely named both Temkin (Vinny calling assocating with him after the allegations a fuckup) and Matt Pascaul (Abby saying they will not have a working relationship with him anymore and that, as a friend, she wants to hold him accountable)
That's honestly more thanI expected. Which is probably more an indictment of the GB West response than praise for East doing the bare minimum.

I still fell like the pascal stuff was just them not having much time in a response.
Yeah, I was still giving them time on that one, I just didn't think they'd do it during the Beastcast. (I figured it'd be something more akin to Jeff's tweet)

The other day I realized I hadn't watch in months and decided to go check how many episodes I was behind. It turned out to be 5. I forgot about the plague there for a minute.
I, Jeffrey of YOSPOS, have reached an agreement with Lowtax to transfer all Something Awful LLC assets to me. No contract has been signed yet but these things take time and I want to make this announcement now. Obviously, if this falls through, you all will hear it straight from me.
Lowtax asked me to make clear that this is not an admission of any guilt. He maintains his innocence. However, he recognizes that the site cannot continue with him in charge, and the community and site are more important than his name.
This has been one of the most stressful and sad ~72 hours of my forums life and I'm sure everyone has a million questions and I'll plan on discussing this with the community tonight, after taking a few hours to catch my breath. Please don't burn down the whole site yet - we can get through this as a community.
This site has been extremely important to me since I joined 15 years ago. I love this place more than anything and, and top of everything else, the idea of it just going away was heartbreaking to me. My promise to all of you is that I love something awful as something awful, and my intention is to preserve all of the things that make this site incredible. This will be something awful, at its best, not any sort of weird vision of what something awful should be.
I'm not gonna link it because it also contains an image that would get me extremely banned if I posted it.
My biggest memory of Something Awful was going there to find new videogame talk and seeing one of the users had bestiality as their user image.

I still hang out there occasionally, the lets play sub forum has some really good posters. There's a dude who has been running a WWII pacific Theater strategy video game for YEARS now with forum participation.
This is the forum that produced Boatmurdered. Maybe one of the greatest Dwarf Fortress LPs ever.

Honestly I never encountered anything gross in the gold LP threads. It was probably one of the most positive places on the forums. I never ventured far though. I occasionally read the table top area but that can end up a cesspool.

I hate the concept of shock images, but I didn't actually see much of them, because I mostly spent that time period on gamefaqs, where there were no images of any kind.

Going right into Jack Gallagher and Max Temkin.
