    You know, at first, I didn't think that Oldbear TMP shit was a huge deal either from the evidence presented at the time. I even almost posted something here about it but decided to refrain without having enough of either side of the story.

    After reading this article with further details of the womens' situations and reading the threads popping up on reddit however, it's clear he is a disgustingly abusive, manipulative guy and women shouldn't ever talk to him, period.

    He also has the gall to claim he never abused anyone, which just means that he can't recognize sexual, verbal or emotional abuse for what it is.

    It's disappointing that along with the women who suffered to create TMP, TMP as a publication also has to suffer from this, as it was always a well put-together fanzine (even if it did apparently plagiarize some stuff? not clear on that). I checked it out once in a while but I'm quite sure I'll be ignoring its existence entirely from now on.

    Hopefully they peel off and start another fanzine. It shouldn't be too hard since the content was posted to google docs.

    One of the girls in the story says that when she was 18 and he was 33 he pressured her into coming to stay with him "for a week" that turned into 2 months when he wouldn't drive her home.

    Final Fantasy 14 is an MMO enjoyed by millions across PC and consoles.
    This article is already suspect.

    Honestly, this guy needs a beating.

    Hey, they're not lying, they have millions upon millions of accounts created to play the game, that counts towards something. You never have to be honest with your actual user base head count.

    So this dude needs to git gud, is told to git gud, and doesn't git gud?

    I think we all see the resolution here.

    The equivalent of someone posting in the gimp thread in the days of old.

    I happened to be around while this went down

    The actual context here is some dude got banned from The Balance (not sure on the specifics on this part or if it was justified) and then got one of his friends to attempt to start shit on reddit, which didn't quite work as the thread got locked within an hour. At the very least the OP from that reddit thread was found to be lying about having no connection to the banned guy, and he is apparently a known bully on the novice network of his server himself which makes his motivations for creating the thread a little questionable.

    As for the Balance making fun of grey-guy, some people on the Balance (and a lot of Primal datacenter-related discords, and even ingame, really) have definitely made fun of him before, but I don't know if I'd really call it "bullying". The grey-guy they're talking about is a very active, well-known Primal PFer who has a really shitty attitude to go with his performance and as far as I've seen he just gets mentioned sometimes in passing/jokes, because he's just become that infamous over the years.

    Overall this whole thing was a little weak, the scariest thing is how many upvotes/downvotes that thread has in spite of being locked and OP bringing no actual proof. Once the mob fixates on something or decides they don't like something or someone there's really no stopping it.

    EDIT: added more details

    What does grey mean? lol Or is it literally lifted from WoW where grey gear = vendor trash and that the mission is to go purple?

    Same as Warcraft logs - grey means your parses are trash.

    So rather than just ignoring his PFs knowing he underperforms (every server had a few of those 'that guy' PF leads you know to avoid prior to cross-server PFs), they go out of their way and waste their time to waste his time? This isn't drama, it's just people being dicks.
