New video dropped a few mins ago.

Not watched it yet though.

 

I listened to it, it's basically George giving Kim Justice props as a higher profile creator for her Twitter statement, commenting on a few replies, asking why a couple of other bigger YouTubers are quiet and mocking their editor who's been defending them.

 

Might as well link to it now:

Cheers for linking, I was then headed out or I'd have done it, time to give it a listen.

I am wondering whether George is sailing a bit close to the wind in terms of leaving himself open to accusations of abusive / harassing behaviour. He's made multiple videos calling them cunts and all sorts of offensive terms. I mean, sure, I understand he is technically right and justified in being angry. But there's a point where he will hopefully realise that it can go beyond a proportionate response, when we are talking about the limited real-terms damage that was caused by the original offence. Maybe he's just waiting for some kind of sign that they realise what they've done is bad, or are sorry, or something?

It is frustrating, when these two have done something so awful (and it was awful) and the majority of retro fans have basically given them a pass…

 

..as if nothing happened, they are free to carry on scamming money, as if they are the victim.

 

it’s tempting, like George, to want to keep pointing out to “fans” that these aren’t the people to follow. To give your money to. There are better people to watch in the community like rmc and Kim.

 

I understand the need to keep pointing out their shiftiness. It’s like when someone has gotten away with something, the perceived balance of justice has to be redressed until we can all move on.

I'd like the videos shorter and with more visual elements. He takes a while to get the point.

 

It reminds me of when Homer calls the hotline in Lisa the Greek.

 

Quote

HOTLINE: You... have reached... the Coach's... Hot...

HOMER: Line.

HOTLINE: line.

HOMER: Lay it on me, Coach.

HOTLINE: In the game of... Mi-am-i...

HOMER: Mm-hmm.

HOTLINE: versus Cin...

HOMER: Cincinnati.

HOTLINE: cin...

HOMER: Cincinnati.

HOTLINE: na...

HOMER: Cincinnati.

HOTLINE: ti...

HOMER: Come on! Don't you realize this is costing me money?

HOTLINE: we must consider... many things. The wind...

HOMER: D'oh, not the wind!

HOTLINE: is blowing out of the... west... at five...

HOMER: Miles per hour.

HOTLINE: knots

Is the uk retro scene a wretched hive of scum and villainy, or is it a few rotten apples? A lone wolf? The actions of one or two extreme fanatics?

 

 

He's always been next level, to be fair.

 

Have you ever have had a feature submitted that included large swathes of it cut and pasted from interviews posted online? And when you confronted the writer about it they accused you of trying to starve their kids?

 

Unrelated point. Just a question.

Thanks @SeanR for bringing this to my attention. I remember watching Lady Decade's video at the time, and did feel sorry for her but even then I was like you got loads of games behind you, and they're always abroad somewhere.  Slowly trudging through this thread when I should be working.

So gone down the rabbit hole and read the thread, and watched the videos. This funkyspectrum guy is a real character, I like how he says the word bastard. Quartering is a massive colossal shit and I'm surprised the couple took his offer of help. Though didn't they do raise enough through people donating?.

Hold up, they didn't refund the money after Quartering paid the bill?.

 

No of course not, its a cash grift,

 

However, if GC is correct, the couple even moaned that the generous bill payer sent them cash via PayPal and they were charged fees on the £470 'donation' !

Yeah I don't buy the whole PP fees thing, if this was real the Quartering would be poking his head and making noise online.

It really is! As has been pointed out earlier, I feel that George may be on thin ice, even more so with this video. I'm not exactly a social media person so I don't really know how to use Twitter properly, but how on earth has he managed to get hold of the private messages between Lady Decade & Martin McNeil? And then making said private messages available to the public .... I think this video might be one step too far. While the whole Lady Decade thing has been a shit show from the moment her "scared" video was released, I think that George is maybe taking things a little too far and has turned this into a personal vendetta against LD & THGM.

Martin McNeil must have sent them to George. If so its fair game, I mean Martin must be pissed at them destroying his name that he allowed this. I don't think he hacked her or him, and I also don't believe he made it up these message because legal troubles etc.

I never knew she existed until this thread. Only heard of Top Hat Whatever when he was being a dickhead saying the NHS should be shut down.

 

I was better off not knowing, really.

 

You what?, that's one hot take. If he can't afford $500 then someone should tell him going private is going to cost a lot more.
