    It’s what I’m claiming. Why hate on someone you don’t believe prevented the success of the petition? If the petition would have failed in the absence of his video, then why post this kind of content? He had nothing to do with the failure.

      You don’t need to be the sole reason the petition failed. If you actively spread misinformation about the petition, you’re a dick. Period.

      Where’s the so-called hate-campaign.

      I wanna hate on him, because he’s an ignorant prick, fyi. No need for any actual consequences he suposedly caused or didn’t cause.

        Where’s the so-called hate-campaign

        In the comments of every single post and video about the initiative. More people seem to be bent out of shape about whatever the fuck he did in WoW recently than SKG and are piggybacking on the drama to further dump hate on this one guy.

          So… how is that the campaign’s fault? That guy misrepresented something that’s dear to many “gamers” and seems like a dick in general.

          I’d file this under “fuck around and find out”.

            Just saying that maybe people should focus less on the person they claim to not give a shit about and find a way to drum up more support for SKG instead.

            “I knew he was poopy the whole time” x 100 under every post and video isn’t helpful.

              Yeah, I guess you’re right. That’s a reason why Ross didn’t call him out more. Now it starts to bog down in youtube drama bs.

                That’s where I’m a little conflicted. It has basically become youtube drama and just an excuse for people to dunk on PS for yet another thing (deserved btw, I just think it distracts from SKG), but at the same time, it has reignited awareness. I think it might have better served him to have done it sooner.

                Also, I would just like to see someone that isn’t from the US, UK, or Canada put their voice behind this EU initiative.
