Although I don't keep a file on hand for situations like this, an example would be Notch from Minecraft. Heavily criticized for many things—making money off an unoriginal idea, spending that money to go on month-long vacations while the game was still in beta, mismanagement of money often leading to servers being…

Because anyone who blatantly will call themselves one of the nicest and open-minded people out there probably doesn't have the perspective to know what they're actually like. The actual nicest and most open-minded people out there have enough humility to not label themselves that.

Spanked? More like beaten. What I can deduce about you is that your grammar is terrible.

What? That's stupid. If you consider yourself those traits, then you're not.

Nope. Never called you a slut shamer. Again, proof that you're in your own world right now. You're reading what you want to and stooping as low as using rape to back your point simply because you don't want to admit you're wrong.

People do that kind of thing to bigger and better game developers all the time and you don't see them get pissy and demand a public apology.

Still not comparable, still not the same thing. Forcibly forcing oneself sexually on a girl requires a completely different mindset than bullying someone over the anonymity of the internet. Especially in this case:

The analogy doesn't apply because both are wildly different situations with wildly different actions perpetrated by wildly different perspectives. Your logic is essentially the same as people who say homosexuality is the same as bestiality. No, both are wildly different and can't be compared.

Look up Fish quotes. Throughout Fez's development he would boast non-stop about how he was going to revolutionize gaming and be the face of the industry some day. Any criticism was met with "well look how many awards Fez has won".

Haha. You call me irrational and then compare that statement to rape victim shaming, of all things.

Humiliated? There's nothing humiliating about Beer's statements unless, as I mentioned before, you choose to be humiliated by it.

Haha. Trust me, my Cheerios were fine this morning. Sounds like I hit the spot with this one.

What? No. Fish wants an apology from Beer that's basically as humiliating and humbling for Beer as possible. Text apologies can be sincere and done all the time in the industry in good faith and intentions.

Really? You think Fish telling the guy to kill himself because his life sucked compared to Fish, then cancelling Fez 2 was an appropriate response?

No, they're not exactly pretty but werewolves are perfectly popular with preteens. "Werewolves, so cool!"

Son, werewolves aren't really helping your argument here. Or do you think Teen Wolf and Twilight are manly, mature pieces of fiction?

Beer matters as much as you make him matter. Fish demanded an on-screen apology—that's a big ego bubble that was burst. You need an ego to react like this to a game critic named "Annoying Gamer".

Oh, people who only want to play the pretty races are still around? I thought people outgrew that immature crap past puberty.

Ultimately, one last thing—you seem to be thinking that people are defending Beer, but your first post was victimizing Fish as a "cyberbully" victim. That's just so far from the truth and Fish does not deserve the moral high ground that comes with that label.

No one's saying Beer was right but Fish was far worse in this situation. And the difference is Beer is an obnoxious game critic. Whether you want to take him seriously or not doesn't matter—Beer is as consequential or inconsequential as you make him.
