      I’ll end this conversation but I’m not so petty as to assume everyone on this site is as comfortable with sexual assault as you are.

      Even though you pretend to speak for them you actually only speak for yourself.

      Rather I think it’s more likely you are refusing to treat this particular person as you would others because you enjoy his content which is a specifically individual flaw in you that I won’t ascribe to others.

      Hopefully you reconsider your approach since what you’re doing here is exactly what Hollywood did to Harvey Weinstein.

      Zero tolerance is the only correct approach. Hopefully you learn that once you’ve had the chance to reflect.

          I expect zero tolerance towards people who use their power to suppress allegations of sexual assault.

          That’s a pretty straightforward expectation.

          The Hollywood shit is the code of silence that emerges because these people are put on a pedestal which is precisely what you are all doing here right now. You’re willing to condone the unacceptable because of a YouTube / streamer popularity contest.

          Shameful.

            you started the conversation like this:

            Harris is a sexist gamer Vaushite, and I say that as someone who has never watched his shit it’s just a vibe I get

            then didn't mention "suppressing allegations" until way further down. Maybe you should begin a conversation by saying what you're actually upset about .

              It was like my 3rd comment actually but the mass of replies reorders things.

              Maybe if you gamers read the replies before deciding to jump on the bandwagon of defending their favorite streamer it wouldn’t be such a confusing thread.

                    1. what are these allegations

                    2. against whom were these allegations

                    3. who was the friend he protected

                    4. was anyone ever taken to court and found guilty of anything

                    not all of us keeps up with the stuff you personally remember

                    EDIT: also nothing was reordered comments work like this

                    top comment

                    reply

                    reply to reply

                    the only top comment you have in this thread is "Harris is a sexist gamer Vaushite, and I say that as someone who has never watched his shit it’s just a vibe I get"

                    everything else is a reply to that or you replying to someone. Why would the first comment anyone reads of yours ITT be a reply to an older comment?

            to be clear your "zero tolerance" policy is just not watching his videos

              That’s part of it sure.

              Watching his vids and promoting them certainly isn’t zero tolerance.

              Nor is attacking those who call him out on it. That’s downright defending it. Shameful.

                  I added that the bit where you gamer chuds attack those who call him out on his part use of power to suppress sexual assault is defending that.

                  So the other part would be to stop being a gamer chud who flies into a rage when your favorite YouTuber gets called out for atrociously poor behavior.

                  Stop defending this. Like for real, why are you ok with that and what does that say about you?

        I appreciate that you're not responding to comments anymore, but I have had time to reflect, but I'd like to explain myself a bit further.

        I already knew about the accusations you made in your original post, because I read about it a year or two ago. This meant that I also knew that the situation had already been resolved by the parties involved, first because of the apology (which I understand the victim didn't like or accept) and secondly because of the fact that the person who attacked the victim has long since been removed as a mod on Hbomb's Discord over this issue. I know that Harris' actions were wrong to start with and that he should have believed the victim, but given that the incident happened several years ago and that no new accusations had come out, I didn't and still don't see the need to 'cancel' him even more than he already was at the time.

        I am also in no way comfortable with sexual assault, and agree that a zero tolreance approach is necessary; this is exactly the approach that was taken against him by plenty of people, and many of those people have since moved on, as I pointed out. You may disagree with this descision, as is your right, but that doesn't mean that the people who have done so are apologists for SA.
