It'll likely be an open and shut case given how much evidence Karl has collected and how poorly all of Billy's past lawsuits have gone. With any luck, Karl will make more on youtube revenue reporting on it than it'll cost him to defend, since he genuinely seems like a nice guy and Billy's a walking garbage can.

Yep. Also cancel mobs are trying to hurt Karl too.

It's interesting how motivated some people are to bring down those who are more successful than them.

I hope Karl counter-sues, Billy has harassed people with frivolous lawsuits for far too long.

It's a SLAPP suit, plain and simple.

He's just hoping to either shut him up with absurd legal fees or scare him into settling, hopefully Aussie law is more sane then US law.

Acoording to the video, at least the damages are capped to what you can prove you actually lost in revenue, rather than being punitive. Presumably that would mean Billy would have to actually show his homework to justify the amount before they even consider the merit of his argument.

The fact that Karl started up a legal fee fundraiser the moment he released his last Billy video also shows that he's been expecting this and is probably well positioned to weather this.

The entire second half of the video in the OP is specifically about this and other accusations.

OK I'll watch it

I probably shouldn't just say shit I heard without actually watching the video first but given the topic title I didn't think the video was about that as well

I actually didn't know any of this stuff about rwhitegoose and immediately unsubbed from him when I saw this video. Guess I'm... really far behind on that.

Anyways, Karl Jobst did basically nothing wrong aside from some mild, now-corrected ignorance.

He filled a niche and led the charge on exposing cheating in the speed-running space. His top 10 videos were also decent gateways into speedrunning content.

Dude wasn't perfect - neither is Karl Jobst from the sound of things - but I had a soft spot for him. Was shocked to find out he'd killed himself.

He actually set that up to help other people being sued by Billy. He's considering starting up a fundraiser of his own if he needs to but mentioned Notch is also helping him out.

He was an edgelord on discord 4-5 years ago. He apologized and moved on.

You can obviously sub/unsub from whoever you want, I just would encourage you do it because you personally don't accept his apology and don't do it out of solidarity with a mob which doesn't really care about getting it's facts straight.

Watch the rest of the video. At the end he literally admits he defended that audience member that said the offensive word. Sure he apologized but you can't really take something like that back

*Karl makes a video explaining all the context*

Sensible people in this topic: "See, this is why it's good not to jump to ill-informed conclusions."

Unsensible people: "But I really want to jump to ill-informed conclusions!"

???

  1. You can't?
  2. He wasn't racist.
  3. Oh wise one, for how long is his soul damned by thine eyes to be that of a unholy racist? Eternity?


An "us vs them" worldview which defines everybody by their worst moment, even if that moment is wrongly perceived out of context, is toxic and unproductive. And I have no respect for the wisdom of those who advocate for it.

He defended a white person saying the n word. You don't do that. It's one thing to make a mistake, but that is simply a racist view. Defending that guy shouldn't have even been a thought.

IIRC Chunky was in another topic recently saying that black people should also get punished for saying the N-word, so he's got a pretty extremist take on the use of the word. From what i remember believes anyone using the word at all in any context should get in trouble.
