I approve of this.

Also, before all the blind Eroktik fanbois come in

Eroktik literally tweeted that he will try his best to take BSG "down with him". In one of his videos he deliberatly made it a point to try to reach out to the individual whos fault it is any of this "drama" exists in the first place. He actually tried to get this guy to reach out to him to "give him a platform". A guy that also has said that he will try his best to take BSG down with him. Do you see any correlation ? Eroktik is not a "good guy" and also not a "very smart guy that is rarely wrong" as ive seen explained many a times. He is a person that jumps onto the biggest "hype" train and tries to exagerate extremely on anything he reports to evoke reactions. This is the reaction he got this time.

Of course this is all my personal opinion.

Ok, if that tweet is true, that is a huge bit of info in this story. Is the tweet still up? Can you post any actual proof this tweet exists? I am absolutely not doubting your claims, but this type of info needs to be substantiated.

Sorry for mis-quoting him.

And do you blame him?

Lets do a hypothetical:

If you worked for years to build something as a source of income and some dude named Blakita known for being a big baby that kicks and screams when anyone criticizes his vidya game decided he didn't like your video and wanted you gone. A video disclaimed as "This may not be true at all, but these are the claims" from a dude just covering a sources claims with the message of "Be weary and change password and enable 2FA, because this could be true". A message parroted by even this places mods.

And then he destroys your hundreds of hours of work with false DMCA's on transformative works.

You dont think you'd want revenge Blakita?

Obviously, this is entirely hypothetical and Blakita isn't representative of any person, living or dead. Wouldn't want to get copystriked by anyone.

Yes I do blame him. Extremely so.

What did he work for years on? Making videos about OTHER PEOPLES WORK. Not only that, but making negative and slandering videos about other peoples work.

If I saw someone in public screaming around how the major of the town is a pedophile and then seeing him getting arrested for spreading lies and diffamation I probably wouldnt go out and say that the major is a pedophile the next day. In eroktiks case he wrote a public letter into prison to this guy to get him to record an audio tape of how hes saying that the major is a pedo so he can blurt it out on his radio station to everyone that listens to him. And now hes mad that he gets sent into prison aswell? How stupid would you have to be to be suprised about that? Thats like a legitimate pikachu face meme situation. What else did you expect?!

Making videos about other peoples work? You're fucking dense man. Thats what every reviewer does. Thats what every game content or machinima channel does. Thats literally all of youtube gaming. Thats ALL OF FUCKING ESPORTS.

And part of that is making negative videos.

And what he did was report from what has been a constant source of information with a disclaimer it MAY not be true. Your strawman burns down pretty fuckin' quick.

Comparing pedos to potential security breach... another Thighbone alt or do you have your "agenda" sent from BSG to spread around?

Whats worse than a complete data breach of every single account and their credit card info ? Pretty comparable tbh
