@smelly dumb journo scum
Please refer to the previous argument about what constitutes being a journalist.
I'm just going to be blunt and ask the question. "Why did he reach out to them?" He's not a journalist, nor is he someone remotely involved (hopefully) So, how and why? Zuken went dark(?) after breaking his promise to get out of the scene, which he refused to honor. Wickerkid isn't known for being open to anyone outside of his own circle, so the question really does beg to be asked.
What is this non journalist, who works with children doing with people who actively prey on children?
Again, I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt, and I am most likely the last person to do so at this point; what he did was incredibly, unbelievably fumbled, and continues to be fumbled. Maybe, MAYBE, there was some miscommunication, or perhaps this is an individual who thinks more with their heart than their head; but this was very dumb.
Your job as a reporter and an interrogator is to fish information, which I applaud him on that for doing properly, but that comes with the psychotherapist position. Where he massively, extraordinarily fucked up was shooting himself in the foot with his viewpoint, that seems to have been doubled down on, that systematic abuse of children is not only acceptable, but persons who do not want children to be systematically oppressed, or abused, or fucking killed, are the actual oppressors.
People who genuinely hate evil are the bad guys, you know the only time that statement is true? When you yourself, are committing, encouraging or normalizing evil.
Again, fix your PR issue Brian, or at least tell Brian to fix his shit since you want to be guarding of him, because his very last possible support here is losing patience with him. Take the L, learn from the flub up, clean the egg off the face and move onward. This is not a good look or take in the slightest, and having this look and take inside of a fucking glass house while being a hemophiliac is the stupidest goddamn thing possible. Which is why I'm giving you (or him if this actually isn't you) the benefit of a doubt, because frankly, you really don't know how fucking stupid of a position you've put yourself into. The only genuine explanation is that you're that naive
