Sucks that her family was killed but that doesn't justify being a bitch and if she didn't want to take care of him as he dealt with a severe injury she could have ended it herself at that point. If the child is basically afraid of mommy dearest then that's some fucked up shit
If anything I'd give him shit about leaving his kids with a fucking lunatic, which if he does, makes him a gigantic POS.
Based on the information given it's not really fair to judge him so negatively.
I think that the discussion at RE has been so hilariously one sided that is difficult to take everything at face value, specially with the bombshell of “all her family is dead, BTW. She refuses help.”

They all sound like fucking robots. Where do they even get this lingo from Their rigid social hierarchy.
But no, really, this is the result of totalitarian language policing. The same thing happened in the liberated nations like the Soviet Union or China, it's always safer to repeat the approved slogans when unforeseeable language slip-ups are what get you purged. They don't realize it doesn't protect you, tons of people were purged for writing Party approved things in the past when the Party doctrine changed and this was used as proof of their revisionism, counter-revolutionary treason, etc.
Thought terminating cliches protect you in another way, people tend not to challenge them. Especially when everybody is repeating them.
Lastly, the "good faith"/"bad faith" one has always been essential because the person accused cannot disprove it. But they're still afraid so they shift it so that "good faith" can only be represented by conforming to and not opposing the hierarchy.
Remember these are people who believe that there should be no forms of evaluation but social power and they want to rig the game so that only their social power can triumph. Everything else flows quite logically from these premises.

Because you're not supporting us. That's the truth of the matter. You're just not. We do not need the wishy-washy feelings of "This developer fucking sucks! But, we need to separate the product from the creator" or "I am tired of the politics surrounding the gaming industry". I don't need this. I need you to take the developer by the balls and not buy their product. I need you to stop buying into bullshit and skewing your moral compass because the action combat is fun or the graphics look phenomenal for a new AAA. I need your spine. Your grit. Your tenacity. I need you to stop being weak.

it's so tiresome too
if you say "no, I'm engaging in good faith" then suddenly you're on the back foot, the conversation is about you personally rather than whatever you're talking about, and you have inherently derailed the thread
it's so pointless and boring, accomplishing nothing, the definition of ad hominem rather than engaging with the substance of what was said

Yeah dude. You clearly are unstable. No wonder she couldn't open up to you.
The only good thing for her is that the 2 kids aren't biologically connected to him. Hope she runs and finds true happiness. She's basically been supporting 3 kids for the past decade.
He mentioned they connected because both had traumatic pasts. If his is more serious than his favourite toy got taken away by his mother, I'll be very fucking shocked.

Mental gymnastics? Do they know people still buy games because they look cool?
Anyway my monke game preload just finished 
This person is right though. If that memo to reviewers is too much for U.S. consumers then good luck enjoying almost anything created by Chinese companies that have any intention of staying in business. The "No Covid-19" rule should give them a hint as to why that list was sent out to reviewers.
Effect is less attention on games review sites. They’ve been a joke for ages, but many are shutting down, even Game Informer recently. Eroding any trust or credibility is not a lasting strategy.

We watched Annie Hall last night. It's still one of the greatest comedies of all time. Thinking about buying a PS5 now.
This Black Myth drama is just too good
They’re so racist it’s hilarious, but they dress it up in other ways to hide the fact. They also are completely incapable of accepting life is different outside of their US centric bubble life.
I didn’t expect this game to deliver such drama, but here we are again fellas
DNC should be fun today. and by that, I mean the countless stupid tankies that will try some funny shit to remind people how they're happy being useful idiots.
Still though, fuck IDF and Netanyahu government. They are monsters.

I recently just came out with another official live stream video speaking on this matter and completely debunking the claims once again like I did when it first happened. As you can see now though, the tweets of her false accusation are now deleted, why you may ask? Because I completely debunked her terrible false accusations live on stream like I previously mentioned and I also called on her while she was live streaming at the EXACT same time as me, to show ANY proof to what she is saying with the original pictures she posted....she responds by ending her stream, then deleting her original posts and nuking all her social accounts running from the truth. Let this be a lesson to anyone do not ever judge a situation until you know an entire story. I am currently recovering from years of trauma from this false accusation and finally am in a better place to speak on this horrible act. Thank you so much for all the support. False accusers should not be supported and need to be held accountable.

Quote:I'm very curious as to why you think you debunked it?
I went through your 4 hour VOD that is called THE TRUTH! Debunking (Again) My False Allegations from 09/2021 and the only images you showed on the stream was a picture of her and her gay friends (your words, not mine) and the 2nd picture was a picture of a bank loan which you said was for her BBL. There is absolutely zero relevance to the accusation at hand. You spent 4 hours talking and only showed those 2 pictures.
You presented no evidence to disprove her claims of abuse. She had posted pictures and videos. You say her deleting her social medias is her admitting you were right, but apparently it's because your supporters were stalking her in her DMs and her stream.
What I noticed is rather than debunking her claims of abuse, you spent such a long time just attacking her character.
If anyone is curious which VOD it was, it's this one:
