On the one hand, this is an update in the direction that he actually did do something bad (after all, another fangame guy, Blaize Mayes, did). On the other hand, it seems weird that he would be reported with nobody dropping a Google Dockey on him. On another hand, this situation reeks of faggotry and gayops with the OneShotExposed account. Is that account just false flagging and taking credit for something they didn't do? Who even knows what the fuck is going on?
I know that (generally speaking) these fuckwad services (meta, x, discord, yt, twitch, etc.) all have allegedly-bulletproof Terms of Service agreements and Acceptable Use Policies which protect them from, well, any fucking mistake they make ever, apparently, but I think it's well beyond time people started just saying "fuck it" and swarming these faggot companies with
in forma pauperis litigation over this kind of shit. "Banned and we're not saying why. Agreement says we can." Yeah well fuck your agreement -- you have literal books of liquid bullshit on your site's incomprehensible "help systems" glazing yourselves about "appeals" this and "reviews" that and "community safety" and all that jazz, and, gosh darn it, it sure looks like you're having a go at being a "community government" of some kind, what with these semi-formalized processes of users complaining about each other and requesting re-reviews (you could almost call it "appeals," and sometimes you
do) that you're flirting dangerously close with being a de-facto justice system of some kind.
Of course the real underlying problem is just that literally every public service (free or paid) didn't just collectively say "fuck you, our users' lawful actions aren't our fucking problem, fuck off, and if you think it's illegal, we'll obey lawful court orders, so go get one" the first time a whiny Karen or asshole forum troll decided to go "ask for a manager."
De-facto unimpeachable "governments" running massively popular, widely-used platforms need to die.
