So many thoughts on the "purge" that is happening right now. Going to only be talking about hotfixes relating to it until it all calms down and I get my thoughts on it sorted.
Thoughts sorted/calmed down. Obviously we should support those sharing their stories, that is not up for debate. There are several severities of allegations and I do think people need to be more careful of piling the clearly illegal ones with the misconducts/dumb advances.
Companies distancing themselves from the accused is likely purely out of self protection/PR and shouldn& #39;t automatically be seen as being an ally, especially considering previous track records of some. This is a mistake I made with the hotfixes. Similarly, HR is NEVER your friend.
As for Method, many knew Josh was a creep but the severity of that wasn& #39;t known to all members under the Method banner. I& #39;ve seen some footage of terrible mental health due to this already. Most feel shit enough about the situation as it is. Piling on doesn& #39;t help anyone.
If people are friends with/know the accused that doesn& #39;t automatically mean they& #39;re also responsible and can be "gone after". Mob justice is dangerous as they likely don& #39;t know the full story. Read/process everything, support all (even the lied to) victims and learn from it.
Don& #39;t go on reply sprees spreading rage/vitriol/negativity, there& #39;s more than enough of that in the world already and unless you& #39;re actually involved, shut up. Be pissed off, but don& #39;t process said anger by being a dick to anyone. Go for a walk/punch the nearest (empty) box.
I& #39;m sure some will disagree with some of the above, which is fine, I& #39;m up for a respectful debate about things and changing my mind if I& #39;m wrong. I am learning a lot and my opinions on people/companies/topics have been in flux these last few days and I doubt I& #39;m alone in that.
Also, if people don& #39;t want to talk about this in public, DMs are always open.
After some discussion in this thread as well as privately, some points:
- Am obviously not supporting the abusers, if this was implied somehow I didn& #39;t word it well
- Less hate will make it easier for victims to come out with their stories, not harder
