Asking in all sincerity: Is it just as wrong if it’s a considerably younger man with an older woman?

I will be linking to this article (and the previous one) for my students during the fall semester when I cover the subject of plagiarism. I try to have a new “real-world” story for them every semester, to demonstrate that plagiarism has professional and legal consequences well beyond the academic sphere, and this one…

“You can keep looking, Kotaku, and please let me know if you find anything,” he said in the video, setting off a chain of subsequent discoveries and accusations of dozens more instances of apparent plagiarism. Miucin has since removed the video from his YouTube channel.

Honestly I wondered the same thing. 

It’s ok, it’s the past. It’s just proof that NINJA’s decision is 100% legit because the gaming community is full of assholes.

Shit, you should have been the guy they interviewed for this article then. That’s terrible, I’m sorry you had to deal with that.

This right here is the right take.  Thank you for that.  Sometimes Kotaku goes off the deepend and this is one of them.

Thank you so much for this comment. As a streamer who’s wife has been harassed by both men and women after doing a stream with another female gamer (stuff like “You should date me instead of that cheating asshole, I’d never do that to you” or “You’re a slut who’s married to an unloyal man” and other things, despite…

Well said.

Since I don’t directly comment to greys—and especially greys with backward ass opinions—here goes:

It’s definitely on those people that do it. But they’re such a large group that it becomes dangerous. Just look at the political situation we, in the United States, are in right now. A foreign power was able to disseminate false and misleading information, possibly enough to influence an election. Regardless of how…

Most news sources use longer headlines that essentially try to sum up the article in a sentence or so. The one above is probably too much, sure. But it’s just an example. It could have been improved tremendously just by adding the words “I think” in front of it, because then it comes off as the opinion piece that it…

Sounds like he’s already having a greater impact for female streamers than the author of this article acknowledges. If this is true then this whole article a classic case of the author letting an unrealistic ideal be the enemy of the good.

“I don’t want to do this because it makes me and my family uncomfortable,” is full-enough reason not to do something, full stop.

This seems like a perfectly reasonable compromise and something that should have been mentioned in the article.

You can’t even say that he isn’t helping even the playing field in that regard. It’s perfect.

Yikes. What a claim.

The fact is that most people don’t want to invite drama into their personal lives so lets stop assuming his marriage isn’t strong enough to survive the gossip. Why subject your significant other to the abuse or harassment? Also can you guarantee that the gossip would stay online? We all know that there are those who…

This is great. He should not feel like he’s being forced by fans, other streamers, and media to do something he doesn’t feel comfortable doing. We have no idea what his home life is like, his wife could have anxiety issues or have any number of reasons for Blevins to wish to avoid any undue gossip. I applaud him for…
