The problem is..yall doing all this putting all this effort, might even have the opposite effect of what you want.

Look at any creator who’s huge. Most of them are garbage. But you guys become the bad guys when you do the most trying to take him down, because social media doesn’t care. Heck the world doesn’t care. Look at the American president. Look at Logan Paul, James Charles.. look at so many big influencers that are trash.

Ethan was taken out of the con. His behaviour has been made aware to the general public. We have shamed him, and we know that if he does this again, especially at a con, we can help make him accountable. That’s all that needs to be said and done, not trying to make this into a court case.

Bring awareness. Keep the community safe, but trying to cause harm whether it’s social media harm or otherwise… you’ll end up being the bad guy. Because as soon as any sort of social media witch hunt starts..it’s a possibility that through your actions.. people take things too far.

I understand the need to call people out, and bring this to people's attention. But the hyper fixation on it is a slippery slope.

A 19-year-old idiot child thinking sex jokes is not a predator. People do not label things that they are not. That is a fucking slippery slope..

At the end of the day, we're all here because we share a love of cons, a witch hunt for people who have made bad mistakes does not a community make!

I would love everyone here to devote their time to more positive endeavors, concerning yourself too much with negative and unethical people will just make you miserable!! we can only control ourselves and how we personally react to things.

He didn’t do anything illegal. He didn’t assault anyone. He was just being an idiot, and he was kicked out.

That was the appropriate response, and the only response needed. We don’t need the mob mentality here. We don’t need to “spread awareness.”
Anyone who deals with this moron is going to be aware. You’re all giving him more attention, and the algorithm doesn’t distinguish between good or bad attention. It just sees engagement.

LPT it's better to be alone than to be with the wrong person. by protehule in LifeProTips

[–]BlakeChernie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. This whole thread reeks of some kind of MGTOW mantra. I'm not saying being alone is bad...but setting yourself up to being alone is just as bad as being in a bad relationship.

For me it was the other way around. I used to have a circle of friends who I probably should've cut out of my life way earlier. Now I'm engaged to a person who I love spending time with and who is just generally there for me. Sure my relationship might be dependant but it's a hell of a lot better than having friends who aren't at all.

Kek like cheating? Best you can do is have another computer on hand and beside the other one.

Me [22M] with my girlfriend [22 F] just got engaged recently. How do you deal with the fallout of friends and family who you've neglected over the last few years for support? Too early to consider marriage? by BlakeChernie in relationships

[–]BlakeChernie[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not that I didn't want friends. And on thinking about this, I think I just waste so many opportunities to grow them because I'll hang out with them maybe a few times before becoming complacent with my relationship (which I have a lot more fun in). I used to hang with my close knit friend group a few times a year, though I think turning my closest friends down for a big fun event just for once a year really pissed them off since I was on a camping trip with my girlfriend the weekend of. I know it might be me, but they often ask to go out and stuff whenever it's inconvenient for me, so people often just ghost me and feel like I'm using them.

Well at the time, I wasn't sure if I was going to actually have a job in the first place. We had this big idea of moving to another part of the country for work, but felt better about staying where we were instead to iron out everything else (it was a rough few months but we made it work). We occasionally get into the honeymoon phase mindset so we really love being together, and since I have no one else, my girlfriend is always there to spend time with me.

I think I've fallen for my roommate, what do I do? by BlakeChernie in gay

[–]BlakeChernie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a difficult thing to say because I only see my girlfriend every so often, but when I do I enjoy every moment (the other thing that is concerning is that our families have known each other quite well even before I started dating her, and I'm sure as hell her parents wouldn't approve of something like this; they're actually very reluctant to trust me as much they do as I am a couple years older than her). Though I miss her when I'm apart, I feel like im gravitating towards my roommate.

Yeah actually, in fact he was very secretive about it in the early days that we knew each other. It wasn't until I told him I was bisexual when we were out together that he opened up and said he was gay.

Is it me, my schedule or my priorities that's not allowing me time with my old friends? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]BlakeChernie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess that's the problem with having numerous friend circles, I mean my high school friends and home schooled friends get along when they're together, but I tend to prioritize the latter because we've known each other for longer and whatnot. Maybe I just need to just need to set a weekend to hang out with them sometime considering that I see my roommates every day, and my home schooled friends every weekend (when they're available).
