Blaming the people who got scammed by lies instead of the scammers who lied is certainly a take that a person can have.

It’s right in the article in the image of people asking for refunds:
They absolutely promise refunds on their Kickstarter page, which is still up. Go here and scroll down to “Risks.”
Why do people still think they’re due a refund on Kickstarter?
Yep, KS is just about as shady as crypto anyway.
I meant that more in the “Police kill people” way as they would have to admit that death is the most likely outcome for a SWAT encounter when they like to push a different narrative, but I do appreciate the insight. I completely missed the Shroud of the Avatar thing as an Ultima fan and it looks like it may have been…
Swatting is putting out a hit on someone, with the police as hired killers working pro bono. Same as the other styles of “call the police on this person as a way to try to get them killed.”
Said it before and will say it again: WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON WITH YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE?
“Swatting is a dangerous prank”
No, swatting is an attack. It is targeted, hate-inspired terrorism. No rational person thinks “Wouldn’t it be funny if a SWAT happened on this person’s stream?” This isn’t a prank or something to be reductive about. The person perpetrating these attacks is betting on the police to use…
Except that quote is a perfect Rorschach test.
Amber Heard had a decent prima facie case of circumstantial evidence supporting her claim that Johnny Depp assaulted her — although some of the evidence was undermined on cross-examination. But Johnny Depp had four hours of Amber Heard bragging about assaulting him, saying she was fighting for her relationship when…
She got caught repeatedly lying and only one person admitted to ever hurting the other. She had no evidence that he laid a hand on her, and she recorded him A LOT.
I understand how it may feel for victims of domestic abuse to watch this defamation trial and see how it ended. However, to equate the results of this particular trial with erasing the progress that has since been made from Gamergate and the Me Too movement is absurd.
She is vilified not because she is ‘not perfect’ or that because she ‘misspoke because it was painful’, but because it was proven that she has repeatedly lied and manipulated many people around her. And, what is even more important, it was clearly shown before the court that she abused him as well. For crying out…
It was a jury trial. None of us were there. The jury saw everything. They were able to look away and judge reactions to statements and anything else that caught their eye. Anything we did see was through a carefully filtered tv lens. That cuts both ways. I don’t believe the justice system is perfect but in the end you …
A lot of people are really upset that a guy who has a joke account as “not Greg Kinnear” does not think Fall Guys, a game that is now LITERALLY free, is fun enough to spend money on.
They still track your wins. There’s a whole progression system baked into winning. But now that the currency component has been lessened, my reason for playing: silly games with a lot of silly costumes I didn’t have to pay to earn. The “pay to earn” aspect of a game I was never super into to begin with is why I’m done…
I was on Playstation Plus. It was fun as a “free” player on a paid game with seasons. I would have *never* paid to play the game. I don’t recommend it at all. Even less so now.
It’s fun until something random happens out of your control to cause you to lose the game. This game had too many of those moments for me.
Servers will improve quickly once people realize the gameplay just isn’t good enough to spend real money on the game’s cosmetics. Earning them was one thing, but now that I can’t spend in-game currency on cool costumes, I’m out.
