To be clear, this isn't an I-told-you-so.
This is a "hey, mods knew". And that looking the other way for "small" things is how larger ones build and breed in the community spaces that leaders owe it to their members to keep safe and positive.
It’s been two years since I got on the mic, but I’m dropping in at Balance Patch for Tekken 8 with @bostontekken. Come hang out starting…nnnnow! (And I’ll be on in a few, hold your horses.)

Worth a watch in general, this video is quite good, but substitute "KSA" for "Unity" and the fighting game community might see itself in the mirror for a lot of this video.
It's a day that ends in Y so we have a new reason that all of the FGC people kissing KSA ass should be mortified at their behavior

The talking out both sides of one's mouth about of "you just gotta keep grinding and you'll get bigger gigs" and "what do you mean you arent just picking one of the same 3 casters for everything? Mods, MODS!?!" is really just a lot of people telling on themselves.
So we have now gone from "just asking questions about a grifter" to "also Infiltration was canceled out of revenge" in like a day or two.
Speedrunning to gamerword%, I assume. Place your bets.
The guy whose "FGC ban list" put teenagers who weren't nice to AVGJoe next to Infiltration and his domestic violence escapades…going hard in the paint for a guy who won't substantiate a defense and whose primary defender is a cancel-culture chud?
Awesome. Thoroughly persuasive.
Retweeting your intensely marginal and weird-at-the-first-sighting stans is also something that one does because they can trivially disprove allegations levied against them
And while we're at it, I'm not sure any of these Very Important FGC Personalities really have the financial background to be playing judge judy and exeggutor
I'm really glad to see this. I'm fond of some of the Matcherino folks for sure, but it was a mistake from the jump.
There's a lesson to learn from it too, as consumers and communities. You have the rolled-up newspaper and you can swat bad actors on the nose, and you should.
