Very strange. Basically, they held the money until they had enough of a big bag to donate. Yet they still never donated, were they expecting to pull a mil year one or something? Why wait? Why do you need a certain amount to give? Instead of just donating money to research or whatever, you sit on it for close to a decade as the value slowly rots away. How do you just sit on the cash man.
Its possible that's normal for charity, I have no idea though.
Just sounds insane.
Gosh, it sounds stupid/criminal when you put it that way, huh?
I was wondering what Pat responded on the subject was going to be. He one of the few people I can think of that not only friends with Jirard but also friends with Karl as well. He probably knew Jirard was fuck the moment that Karl got involved.
Lets just say he saw the walls closing in and he had to make a choice, stick with Jirard and perish or cut him loose and escape. He made the only sane choice.
he is from a very rich family. he can dissapear, change his name and still live in luxury.
That is until the IRS comes after him...
This sort of shit pisses me off though. It pissed me off when Jontron got removed from Yooka Laylee and I think it's weak faggot shit here. He advertised your fucking game and collaborated, show some fucking loyalty you goddamn faggots. That he's a charity fraud doesn't change that you owe him (and it also becomes a very funny easter egg for players in future years wondering who the "fat fuck with the beard" is referencing).
Jontron shared a poorly worded "unpopular" opinion, he honestly shouldnt have accepted to be in any sort of debate to begin with. But people kept acting like he said the N-word (I wouldnt discard the possibility that many assholes too lazy to look up did think he did that). It was scary how many people that collab with him threw him under the bus over a nothing burger, the only bright side is that Yooka Laylee crashed and burn and no one gives a shit about it anymore while Jon is still getting by just fine by just having fun with whatever he decides to do a video on next.
Jirard legit comitted a crime and took advantage of a LOT of people's goodwill (some were true suckers but some were actually desperate for any sort of solution for their loved ones, the latter does break my heart). Its disturbing how people sometimes speak of both like its the same somefuckinghow.
What Karl said about Jirad he really is a "pathetic Bitch" with how he tries to throw the bus on Jon and Jared in that guilt trip call. For what? His E-celeb reputation? Well, sorry to say Jirad but there is no backing out now you made the bed so lie in it.
"Jontron was being racist", fuck off Jirard.
And I love how he threw Projared under the bus when we saw Jared was one of those defending him and demanding we wait for proper investigation before grabbing the pitchforks.
What a fucking asshole.
If Girard had just “Mybad!” Big time and donated the money right away, and perhaps followed it up with a “Yeah, sometimes I get ahead of myself when I’m excited, and I may have said some things that weren’t true, like mentioning charities we were considering to donate to as beneficiaries. I apologize for misleading people.” then this whole thing would have died down. And his retarded fans would have been happy with watching the nice guy play their favorite vidya.
I can still imagine his youtube career being hurt by this but I suppose in this scenario, with enough time, the heat would die down and he could just pretend this was just a case of him being a grade A retard rather than anything malicious. The problem is that the recording has him admitting he knew this was a thing since 2021 (supposedly) and yet he still did nothing, which could make the "Im retarded" card not work as well as he'd hope. If what he was saying was true, he would either have donated it in 2021 and kept his mouth shut or even admitting that this mistake has happened and he hopes his fans can forgive him. In that case, I can see some being upset but most would just forgive and forget in due time.
I think it’s safe to say that The Completionist 100%ed his career.
At least for a few years.
I’ll bet you this prick will try to reboot his career in a year or two with the help of all his scummy YouTube friends.
Nothing is impossible but I find it hard Jirard can recover from this, at all. The internet is forever and even he knows that something like this spells the end for his career. Maybe it will be like MattMundaine and he still exists technically but only on his small corner of the internet, with the ocassional boulder joke thrown at him. No cares for Matt anymore outside of the infamous Killstream.
I think people need to realize that Jirard being scummy and incompetent with money and Jobst and Mutahar being in it for clout and cash are not mutually exclusive. I would have been all on the side of the accusers if it wasn't for the gay legal posturing. "You gonna sue me bro, I can take it I'll sue the shit outta you too." It's just like Josh's theory about Dick Masterson, getting sued drives engagement, especially when there's a "real" bad person on the other end. Jobst also had a spat with Billy Mitchell who was also an actual scumbag.
Honestly, Karl and Muta just gotta make it clear they wont be taking shit laying down. Jirard just did a power move to get them to back off so they had to respond with something. Its clear that no side wants a lolsuit tho so it will just remain in the world of empty threats.
Newspapers have ads. If a newspaper can be taken seriously while having a full page ad about air conditioning right next to a story about the war in Gaza, I don't know why a YouTuber can't be taken seriously for trying to make money while reporting on something.
"We raped his daughter when the cameras turned off but you know what he could have done instead? Play with today's sponsor, Raids Shadow Legends"
If he just shut the fuck up, this wouldn't have happened.
But he had to try to be an internet badass by threatening the lawsuit.
Such is the path towards the lolsuit
That's what I bet. Since he is not part of the Youtube drama circles, he wouldn't have things set up for that beforehand and he's too much of a retard to quickly do it himself. There's a reason he needs 20 employees to do all of his tech stuff.
Takes 2 minutes to setup OBS and to record the Discord window, for fuck's sake...
