As the title suggests, over the last couple of days there’s been an influx of doomer comments over the SKG petition. While it’s fine to disagree, I’m finding it suspicious that there weren’t comments like this posted a week or 2 ago

    excessive negative attention

    Yeah, that’s basically what I’m pushing back on. The internet community loves to jump on people and dig up random dirt when they do something unpopular, and a lot of that dirt is exaggerated if not completely fabricated. Look at the response to the Godot tweet about being “woke” for an example of that (which PS rightly defended Godot for).

    He may be a POS, but I don’t think he deserves what he got. He deserves to be less popular, sure, but not much more than that.

      That’s why I recommensed Dr. K’s take and Ross’, they didn’t lean into the drama.
      Though, most of the critiques against Jason I’ve heard are sound; while it’s true that dramatubers search every nook and cranny of his past for slander, they find more stuff than any reasonably sympathetic person should have to be found.
