The fact that kaktus is having catfights with foreign staff goes to show how fast the overall brand is caving in on itself. This guy used to be site staff at one point. At least the actual mods have some merit now; I see why they demoted this schizo. Here he is on Twitter acting like a bonobo ape for all to see.
I'd say if you were aware of an "infringement," and publicly okayed it and said you were happy about it, then waited five more years to sue, it might be barred by the doctrine of laches, i.e. an equitable doctrine involving unreasonable delay in bringing a suit where the delay causes prejudice to the defendant, or where the plaintiff had consented to the act he's suing over. As with almost all the (nearly academic) legal issues here, this is also a situation you don't want to be in. The cases are few and far between where copyright suits have been barred by the doctrine. This would seem to apply, but not necessarily to other early /x/ posters who somehow were unaware of the SCP site.
I guarantee staff who want to keep good diplomatic relations with INT branches want to dick punch him right now. This hissy fit says more about d-kak the bitter, fallen politician than the -FR dude or any site problem.
For a man who definitely isn't taking this seriously, he sure is going to great lengths to guarantee that nobody can discuss this on the platforms where he has influence. If the random French dude's claim really has no merit, making fun of him should be enough, no? Or perhaps this is an ego thing, and Kaktus feels the need to destroy this guy for implying that his influence over the wiki was gained through underhanded means? It certainly wouldn't be the first time.
Give up trying to appeal to them in any way, they don't care about your opinion if you're not feeding them upvotes. The people they're being smug assholes to on Twitter right now aren't the audience they're trying to please with articles like the shitty Among Us SCP. The only readers they care about are the ones who get them to +100 on their latest article with exactly the same format and structure as the last 20 with some slight aesthetic changes.
Yeah, I don't know why I even tried.
What's that? You don't like that I ruined a potentially interesting concept with a dumb meme tie-in that adds nothing and makes the good parts of this article harder to take seriously? Clearly, you're just too stupid to get it.
That too. This stings more than the Minecraft SCP since at least the Minecraft one was just an eldritch killing monster. This one's premise is a dying god from Classical times trying to make itself relevant again by invading the modern human sphere of thought. But the only way Tanhony knew how to make it notable was not by properly developing the themes, arcs, and implications that the SCP could have set, but by shoehorning in a topical meme that will inevitably become severally dated. He wanted to make his article stand for the moment, but that shiny exterior he gave it will ultimately serve as the weight that drags it under the cold, cold waters of irrelevancy.
They're in an interesting position, because most of their relevance on the wider Internet is because of SCP articles they hate from Series 1. I'm sure they would love to go back and get rid of all the "bad" writing from that time, but doing so would render them almost completely irrelevant. They're just going to deal with it, I guess.
SJWs are such fucking trash. They create nothing but trash and are only motivated by blind hatred of what is better that came before them.
Not only do none of these things actually describe SJWs, but this isn't even a proper sentence.
Yes it is. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
You don’t need perfect grammar to get the basic jist of a sentence, it’s a waste of breath. Most human brains read things like that quickly it’ll register properly anyways, you nitpicking goon.
Well, since you're apparently retarded or ESL, I'll explain it to you and collect some puzzle pieces.
My jab was about it being a waste of breath in the first place. I find a lot of the side-topics on this thread to be extremely unnecessary at best and directly damaging to the point of the thread at worst.
Hm. Actually, poor judgement on my part. What you're saying is true, my gut reaction was just to shit on you. Nothing justified it. Apologies.
