You know what, Davey? I've been hoping you'd be stupid enough to go down this path. Thank you for obliging me.
Let's discuss that card game he mentioned.
The one in question is
Cards Against Humanity, whose maker, Max Temkin,
had a completely baseless sexual assault claim leveraged against him. He had dated the woman in question, broke up, and the pair never had sex. His accuser's response was both confused and
didn't really solidify her case any. The media proceeded to do to Temkin what it did to Brad Wardell, and shrieked how he was guilty by default.
This included a lot of people who'd later get caught in both Gamergate and the subsequent Pewdiepie Debacle, including
Sam Biddle. None of these were better known than the attack piece done by Patricia Hernandez, another person who'd peek above ground repeatedly during later scandals, who later wrote an article on Kotaku basically declaring him guilty, and that
his willingness to defend himself against a baseless accusation meant he was guilty. This one was such a fuck-up that Stephen Totilo, the head of Kotaku,
was forced to publicly apologize for it, and redact the fucking thing.
Let me quote Temkin directly on this one:
So the astute among you might be asking:
"This has something to do with Daveykins, doesn't it?"
And you'd be absolutely
right, you perceptive little Kiwi bird, you.
See, do you know who it was who was helping push this bullshit narrative the entire time? Why, it was Davey and his friends, of course. First, they basically pulled the "
denying it means he's automatically guilty" meme, followed by
Arthur Chu sperging about it and stating that even if evidence completely exhonorated him, Temkin deserved nothing but scorn. Not to be outdone, Rab Florence (the guy behind DoritosGate) basically claimed that
Temkin's accuser was 100% accurate and that Temkin should have just fessed up. I could post to you a few hundred pages of how various members of Crash Override Network helped to signal boost this story, but I won't because right now, we're going to focus solely on Daveykins.
See, Daveykins went above and beyond the call of duty: pushing the narrative at every level, suggesting that if you didn't get on-board with a baseless hate campaign against someone who essentially did nothing wrong,
you were essentially supporting a rapist:
And
lest you think I was being remotely hyperbolic about that:
Davey was part of the same kind of fucking smear campaign that Pewdiepie got subjected to, and no,
he's not sorry:
As you can see from that screengrab, David Gallant was continuing to spread this thing as legitimate - fucking
months after Stephen Totilo had been forced to fucking apologize over the claims, all in an effort to hurt someone on behalf of his clique who, by all accounts, had done fucking
nothing to warrant it.
This is a true measure of the nature of David Gallant as a man. A spiteful, arrogant shit who sees nothing wrong in hurting people over the most nebulous reasons provided that his buddies call them evil.
Explains his friendship with Nora nicely, doesn't it?
