Chris Avellone MeToo'd

[Secret Asshole]

I fully agree, the thing is Avellone isn't fighting it whatsoever. Even worse he explicitly wrote on Twitter that he should be cancelled.

Everyone knows how damaging this allegation is, and without any form of defense he is allowing his legacy to forever be tainted as a date rapist. But if Chris isn't going to fight this then neither should us forum posters. It's just a waste of time then and Avellone will just have to deal with this stain that ended the career of one of the most influential writers in the medium of games.

So, one of the most talented men in the industry, a figure of legend, has lain down and died at the hands of booze-addled memory and hearsay. He was a lefty, sure, but he was one of the remarkable ones that could do justice to beliefs that I have no doubt he found abhorrent, and gave his players the freedom to agree with them. I don't know if the allegations against him are true or if he has simply chosen to not fight the inevitable, but I do know that Chris Avellone will never make a video game again.

Now ain't that a kick in the head.

He's being a faggot about it. He just laid down and died. He's a loser and a cunt for not fighting this. He just whined and thinks that will save him from the mob. I'm tired of people being losers and laying down without a fight.

I think he's not trying to save himself from the mob, I think he's realized he's persona non grata forever now and is just trying to showcase how pathetic he is, and was, in the hopes that after the fire dies down that while he may never work at the level he did in the past he might at least be left the fuck alone.

Aka the best case scenario in 2020.

Hah. If he has an iota of pattern recognition, he would have ignored it at best.
But he doesn't, and here we are. That scarlet A, real or imagined, will haunt his career forever and be used as a cudgel any time his "peers" think he's getting any uppity ideas about being treated like a human being instead of a feckless doormat.

Should have told them all to get fucked and post some tribute photos to trannies.

Bitch, you just described JE Sawyer, not Avellone. Avellone wanted to remove any redeeming features for Caesar's legion and didn't want them to be an option to side with. Sawyer tardwrangled him the entire way.

So are we condoning and supporting rape or whatever by playing games he worked on? Are people going to stop playing his games, and stop selling them, in virtue signaling condemnation?

I'm just remembering when that Michael Jackson Netflix came out, and people acted like suddenly they just then learned about the allegations against him, and started saying they can never listen to his music again, radio stations stopped playing his music, etc, because "you cant separate art from the artist".

They were ignorant.

 

[Secret Asshole]

The only way to get out of this is to start punching back. You never apologize, its an admission of guilt.

I'm still waiting for Todd's escapades to come to light. Only they'd be more he invites girls to his hotel room, but he doesn't show up.

He drugs them and forces them to buy copies of skyrim.

"This music slaps harder than John Lennon hits his wife"

should be the standard response to such silliness.

With workplace and cons same advice goes - always stay away from the ho's!
Don't be like Avellone, be like Keanu:

-What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge false accusations?
-No, *insert celebrity name*. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to.

Lesson here: Start to smoke so you have an excuse to hover-hand other than avoiding potential lawsuits. It also makes you look cool.

See that orgasm? You can reach it.

I'm finding it hard to understand why Todd, the lying liar, hasn't faced sex assault accusations, ever. If I was at a party and he slithered up next to me with that face I'd tell him to get lost.

Every time he tries to put in a sleazy pickup line or add a roofie to a drink he crashes to desktop.

That's literally how it worked in 1 and 2. You can't side with the Master (without a pretty anti-climatic bad end) or the Enclave, and both of them were pretty abhorrent.

True, but I was replying to the statement that Avellone was the kind of writer to let you join a side he found aberrant, and humanize it, when it was Sawyer that wanted to do that with Caesar's Legion, and Avellone has publicly talked about how he pushed for the opposite.

Avellone seemed pretty sick of Fallout by New Vegas. That's how we got Lonesome Road, the most misery porn of misery porn.

Which is hilarious given he only worked on 2 and New Vegas. He isn't even a founder for the series like Sawyer, Fargo, or Urquhart.

No, the fact is that Avellone gets tired of anything he works on and if you don't wrangle him like a disobedient autist, the final boss will end up just him bitching at you, like Ulysses or Kreia.

Fallout 2 is probably the most overrated Fallout game: Filled with pop-culture bloat and your character coming from a tribal background that doesn't make any consistent sense.

The faction I liked in the game were the Enclave Soilders and I was supposed to kill them like you are forced to kill nice dogs in the last of us 2: I chose to just not finish the game instead because what was the point?

Lonesome Road sucked, but I quite enjoyed Blood Money and Old World Blues.
