To saying everybody sucked to this. Like dont get me wrong, King was passionate and there were definitely better ways to communicate but what ultimately went down, to say that he was in the wrong... this just looks like a cop out to avoid taking any sort of accountability
Really disappointing to see. After everything that went down with Cooper and seeing no real action taken (which there should have been) I'd expect that she'd want to see justice done for others. From telling others she was emotionally more intelligent for siding with Cece
Continuous berating of your teammate and NO ONE says anything?? Y'all the reason we have to watch those corny work place harassment or bullying videos. SPEAK UP. As for the doc, idk, but there's clips of you talking about it sooo do we trust you? Either way, your boyfriend sucks
"this post contains... accountability. To start things off I believe that there are a lot of people who have blown this way out of proportion when it could’ve just been solved with a simple conversation instead of escalating things." What a way to start the accountability
Sorry it has taken me a while to write out a response to the Kingsman drama, I am the Widow player involved and wanted to take some time to collect my thoughts and reflect on the things that took place.
Just to preface this, this post contains clarity and accountability. To start things off I believe that there are a lot of people who have blown this way out of proportion when it could’ve just been solved with a simple conversation instead of escalating things. That is on everyone involved.
I’m taking accountability for not swapping off of Widow when I should have. The games that we were playing in Kingsmans YouTube video were practice scrim games and not the actual tournament games so I was hoping I would have a proper chance to show off my Widow gameplay. My choice to stay on Widow was NEVER because of ego or wanting to throw and the whole way through the tournament I continued to tell Kingsman that I still wanted to try and wanted to help him win. The reason I initially said no to his suggestions was because they were out of my hero pool and I had no play time on them. Kingsman was made aware of my hero pool from day one and when he asked for Phoenix instead, I was too focused on processing the pressure that I was feeling from him constantly pushing me to swap. In hindsight I should’ve just swapped to Phoenix or Hela so we could have practiced that too.
As for when Kingsman said that he could switch to Bucky or Mantis and try that, that idea was never attempted because I said that his Magik gameplay was really good and I thought that his Magik was working.
Black Widow is competitively my best hero. And when I was invited and signed up for the tournament initially there was no prize pool and it was labelled as a creator tournament. The $40k prize pool came as a surprise later on and was split between everyone who played in the tournament in teams from 1st - 8th place (With 1st place getting $3k each for winning). So everyone ended up getting paid.
I think a lot of people have been getting my voice mixed up with the other girls voices and have been struggling to tell us apart which has lead to way more unwarranted hate than there has to be. I was never once rude to Kingsman in the VODs even when asked to talk my shit. I will take accountability for getting stern after a while of being asked the same question over and over and do apologise for that as I definitely could’ve had more patience, however I still don’t believe that I insulted him in any way. If Kingsman is at all offended by any of my actions then I am deeply sorry to him.
On the topic of the drama I would also like to address my boyfriend’s (@Kaplunkk_ ) input into the situation. With Kap and I living in the same house I know how easy it is to believe that we worked together on sending through clips or the creation of the document. I can confirm that we DID NOT work together on any of that at all. There had been comments and concerns from Kingsman since the draft day about my Widow pick potential. On day 1 of scrims I had told Kap to NOT send through any clips of Kingsman doubting my Widow or muting up to speak to his stream as the day 1 games went well. I warned Kap that I could handle the situation of doubt by conversing and that if Kingsman were to end up getting kicked from the tournament it would bring flame on all of us. On day 2 of scrims Kaplunk had sent through clips to tournament administration without me knowing in a moment of feeling overprotective for me so that they were aware of Kingsman being pushy towards my choice to play Widow. The clips were passed on to the tournament host BasimZB and a rushed overconfident decision was made to kick Kingsman from the tournament. BasimZB has since taken accountability for his rushed decision and lack of research on his recent Twitch streams.
Thread 🧵 (1/2)
Does anyone know if Kingsman got paid since you know they got him kicked out of the tourney after the host made a .1 second decision? Yeah it is hard to differentiate the voices from the VODs, the problem is not a single voice was trying to defuse or defend.
To clarify:
This is NOT a male vs. female issue.
This is a poorly handled disagreement between adults. Criticism should be based on actions not gender. None of this has anything to do with being a man or a woman so all the “woman are XYZ” comments can gtfo 😂✌️. You can critique women but that doesn’t mean your critique involves them being a woman
money and think youre the emotionally intelligent person why? Lmfao, not bothering to explain yourself either just telling us Kingsman is wrong and you know because of emotional intelligence sure is a tactic I guess. I'm barely active anywhere anymore but this pissed me off.
Shoutout the people who actually suffer from panic attacks who don't get the support they need because disgusting people like this use it as a fallback to excuse vile behavior. After attempting to double down like 5 different times, she made a ChatGPT apology
One last thing. Shoutout to the person who said that Cece was in the right and they knew because they're emotionally intelligent. Are you? I know you arent going to see it but to those who have this same mindset, you saw a college kid get bullied and kicked out of life changing
RFK Jr. fired the CDC Director, tore up vaccine contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and put anti-vaxxers in charge of public health. He’s telling parents to fight measles with Vitamin A and cod liver oil like it’s 1825. If you feel like your kids are less safe, you’re right. This is what happens when loyalty gets the job over competence.
