FWIW if the dudes just a sleazy chancer, and not using his position to try and solicit nudes, then he's just a sleazy chancer and it's a shame we're in a world where these women couldn't just tell him to fuck off and they're not interested. Not the kind of person I'd want to hold up as extolling feminist values if he simply sees them as sex objects, but not something you should lose your job over if it's unrelated.
I'm assuming, though that he was in fact implying he could further or impede careers based on it, or just straight up using his ties to get into women in the industries dms which is just as shitty. --- I'm bad at Maffs.

I'm gonna take another unrelated past occurrence as an example.
2007: Jeff Gerstmann gets fired from GameSpot. Soon after there is an exodus of other editors in solidarity. General consensus from the community was that he was fired for giving a middling review to a Kane & Lynch game which at the time had bought major ad space on the site. For like 5+ years, no one was allowed to talk directly about it or provide evidence that it happened. Until Giant Bomb was purchased by CBS and this the NDAs became moot, it was just hearsay. I never heard anyone, anywhere, defend the GameSpot executive based on the idea that "there's no proof." --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CvGKDK2WIAAmKTf?format=jpg&name=large ...

The problem with the accusation is people that do these sorts of things are rightly vilified by society, for their predatory behaviour, and so the backlash is often life ruining and deservedly so. However people are also unscrupulous assholes that lie about things like this, so because of the attached weight of the crime I think people are extra sceptical especially when it comes to people whose output they enjoy. Which creates an awkward dichotomy of people probing and being more sceptical than they would when other shitty stories occur.
It's weird, and one of those things I don't think we'll ever have a proper answer for. Which is pretty gross. But then there's situations like this where the floodgates seem to open and you just have to go, somethings definitely (*not*) right here. Fuck that dude. --- I'm bad at Maffs.

but what is the accusation he's heard? Why does it matter? I honestly don't get the hesitation to believe so many people, many of whom have something to lose by disowning Nick, that indicate they know more specifics than they are letting on and in turn condemning Nick and the industry culture which enabled him. Is it really just a matter of you need them to specifically say "Yes I have seen chat logs but I am not disclosing details?"

Not really, after reading a bit of it I was left with only the impression that he'd been a predatory fucker, most of it could easily have been "he keeps asking women he knows for nudes", which as I said earlier, is still sleazy and not my kind of person but you shouldn't have your life ruined over it.

but not something you should lose your job over if it's unrelated. eh, at polygon? he should. he could potentially work at other places depending on who he asked, what the context of that asking was, etc. but pretty sure he's done at polygon and should be considering it'd violate the expectations of what you'd expect one of its writers to do. Jakyl25 posted...
you're greatly oversimplifying the aftermath in all this. though more importantly, you're looking back at something and comparing it to a thing that isn't even with 48 hours from the initial accusation. Jakyl25 posted...
Cosby had direct accusers specifying direct actions taken against them and did so under oath. early on it was shown that there had been a long history spanning 30+ years of him being charged or accused but nothing ever happened. now, some people who accused him of stuff just dropped the cases on their own. i don't think all of them are real, no, i think some outright were lying to make a buck, that's been known to happen. but some might be, with the greatest evidence being how Cosby and his lawyers have taken specific actions to suppress the speech of these women, talk about what happened, and their ability to go to court. here in this case, we're not even 48 hours removed from accusations made on twitter with no supporting evidence, no specific claims, and no direct people known. hell of a comparison to make. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. ...

I wish I had a solution to make this process easier but I don't. The solution for now is what's happening Victims are taking their allegations and evidence to the proper channels while still maintaining their anonymity so as to be shielded from the backlash, and friends of those people are speaking out not about specifics but about the culture that enables it to happen. Ultimately it doesn't really matter what any of us believe, just that the proper actions are taken and that there are good people in power to take action accordingly instead of closing ranks --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CvGKDK2WIAAmKTf?format=jpg&name=large ...

there's two specific questions i gave you - "what's the accusation, to whom, and how damning is it? was Nick in a relationship with that person?" are you asking why it matters that people claiming to be "in the know" are aware of all that as they give their vague comments on twitter? i'm legit not sure that's an actual question because it's a really surprising one for you to ask. like say he did inappropriately ask for nudes of somebody who's a friend with that person. okay, bad thing to do. but "not traded nudes for industry benefits" bad, which is an entirely different accusation to make. say it's in the context of the two forming a sexual relationship. a clear sign that he shouldn't be working as a journo, yes, but not "scum of the earth" bad. there's varying degrees of what he could've done and all of those details matter, especially if you're going to claim to be an insider who knows what you're talking about. by leaving a vague statement all you do is fuel the worst conspiracy theories. if all you have is a one sided account of the story, then you aren't fully aware of what's going on or what actually happened, it's a single biased account. so i'm not sure what you're asking "why does it matter" to. long story short: you want to use this person as an authority on the subject without knowing if they actually are an authority on the subject. that does not make sense and yes, that matters. you mention that i'm hesitant to believe "so many people." except the people to believe have not spoken up, it's just been third party accounts. i don't know if we're talking about one girl or three. i don't even know if we're just talking about girls. there are no details on how widespread this was so there's nothing to work with there. if you want me to believe something, give me evidence of it, not empty accusations. why is that a difficult standard for you to understand? as for the question at the end, any input on these questions would be a starting point before i can believe a third party: - have they seen/heard both sides of the story, unedited? - what accusations have weight, which ones don't, to how many people, in what context? and honestly? i don't expect them his friends to have either one yet. that's what the investigation is for. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. ...

counterpoint: she was regularly DM'ing him and asking him for favors too, like getting a sandwich for what i assume is her friend. and in the conversation where he's hitting on her, she's talking to him first, which ditches the whole "sliding into her DMs" bit as she's the one initiating contact. i wouldn't say he's preying on her either but that's a language thing. just in terms of basic facts, he's not sliding into her DMs, they were having regular conversations and badly flirting was a part of that. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. ...
