@TaraBull Probably a made up story but what I hate about the modern internet is a lot of folks have a semblance of a following online. They whip out their phones, post a rant to a couple of thousand followers, and have their insatiable egos temporarily satisfied.
@METAPCs@NVIDIAGeForce Is there a time frame to when this promotion started? I placed my Custom PC order on April 30th and I think it started production on the 6th or 7th.
Was I too early? Am I cooked? ๐ญ
@Awk20000 Asmon likes to give almost every public figure mired in drama the benefit of the doubt.
The one time I can think of where he didn't was the Miz situation but that was because he was close to that situation and knew particulars beforehand.
@reddit_lies Indeed. My city's subreddit can post other people's license plates, addresses, plus other sensitive information and receive thousands upon thousands of upvotes thus feeling justified in their insanity.
@Awk20000 Staged or not, it's sad that this generation's celebrities will do anything for giga virality and still have a massive following.
I guess there has always been versions of this behavior but something about Gen Z influencers just seems off.
@ChristoDuPless6@Awk20000 I have never found him funny. Not offended by his stuff, just have never found him funny. Seems like a FOMO situation where powers that be anointed him successful and so a lot of people behave like you just can't miss his content or you are missing out in general.
@reddit_lies A Twitch streamer I watched yesterday said Chuck was in hell with Hogan for the 1000 years of darkness comments his wife made in the anti-Obama PSA they made in 2012.
This is where politics have driven people. No forgiveness under any circumstances. My way or the highway.
@Awk20000 This is a win-win in Cenk's nephew's eyes. Either Asmon will eventually be banned and Cenk's nephew can act morally superior or he will be banned himself thus creating a martyrdom around him and a potential move to YouTube. He is as disingenuous as they come.
Phil Spencer killed Halo and Gears of War. Xbox is barely recognizable as a brand. He had initial success rehabbing the Xbox image after Don Mattrick but Xbox spiraled underneath the leadership of him and Sarah Bond. Good luck to Asha Sharma but I do not have much confidence.
@Awk20000 This specific part isn't all that impactful. A lot of content creators blow whichever way the wind goes to boost their careers.
"Grifter" has become a pejorative term but they almost all do it; Some just hide it better than others.
@TheQuartering The Minnesota Timberwolves held a moment of silence for this woman too. The wife clearly egging it on as well. These are not decent people.
