I vote that null puts this image on the front page for a week
Of note is the fact it was apparently the *parent company* of the escapist which decided to fire him, which makes me wonder whether he was seen as such an unbelievable liability and embarrassment to the brand that word made its way up the corporate ladder enough to have corporate bigwigs directly intervene just to remove him from the equation
Do you think his spirited defense of Cuties combined with his feuding with Memeology101 might have been the last straw? Because that's the first thing that springs to mind for me. He's been pulling very unimpressive numbers and getting into slap fights on Twitter for a long time, but if the higher ups saw that he was not only defending the notorious pedo movie and catching a lot of heat for it, but very publicly butting heads with a Youtuber who regularly gets two or three times more views than he does over it, that might well have been what got them to realize that this guy is absolute brand poison.They fired him so hard they're not even keeping the licenses to his shows like Game Overthinker holy shit.
They are done with him.
It might have been a factor if M101's fans sent complaints about Bob and gave the higher-ups a reason to take a closer look at the stuff that usually flies under their radar.Do you think his spirited defense of Cuties combined with his feuding with Memeology101 might have been the last straw?

I guess they grew upBob got fired from the Escapist again.View attachment 1666475
I wonder if he's keeping quiet because he realizes that any statement he makes is going to get bombarded with replies calling him obsolete. Although that implies way more restraint and self control than Robert usually shows.Still radio silence from Herr Honey Pisser. Do you think the email/announcement was sent before he was notified of his promotion to customer?
At least in theory, those licenses are worth money. Giving them back probably reduced or eliminated any severance payment that might otherwise have been involved. Which could be a sign of financial hardship on their part, but it equally could be likely that they want absolutely no public association with him going forward. It's hard to tell.They fired him so hard they're not even keeping the licenses to his shows like Game Overthinker holy shit.

Recently wishing a gruesome death on Lindsey Graham probably didn't help either. He kept it (slightly) more deniable before.Do you think his spirited defense of Cuties combined with his feuding with Memeology101 might have been the last straw?
