Why? Because now it's going to look like a "cover up"? Like, as I said, people are accusing completely unrelated third party entities of doing anyway?

Yeah, but there's a difference.

If they'd come out right away with it, basically said "it's in the police's hands," that would have completely gotten Gencon off the hook. It would have also put the ball in Jeremy's court, which, and correct me if I'm wrong about this, nicely plays into your personal stake in this (seeing the sperg make a sperg out of himself). It would have been win-win. They wouldn't have stirred the hive on this one, the spergs of MTG's outcast community wouldn't have something that honestly does kind of look conspiratorial with all this shit to sperg about.

Let's say you run a business, Crackas. You're doing your thing, all's good, and some assbag gets into a fight with another, equally-Autistic assbag. Common sense dictates you just go that it's a fat lot of not your fucking problem, but there's a problem with claiming that when one of the assbags in question turns out to have some kind of stake in your establishment. All you need to do at this point is say eight words: "We've already gone to the police about this," and the problem takes care of itself.

Instead, Gencon went full lockdown.

We know now that not only was this someone with a booth (and who still has it), not only is this someone who had a 4-day pass, not only was this someone who had a history of making outrageous claims about punching Nazis, but was witnessed fucking spergfighting Jeremy by multiple people already - and while I don't think Jeremy was remotely seriously hurt, and I also think Jeremy is a sensationalizing idiot who has overplayed his hand, we know he was actually attacked. There's accounts from multiple eyewitnesses, FFS.

But fear not: I'm entirely sure I know why they went full lockdown on it now: You see, we know for sure that Gencon officially was supporting and promoting a game that Loter's company happened to be involved with. Assuming that Gencon had a financial stake in this (an easy thing to assume, because they were streaming it), it makes perfect fucking sense why Gencon did everything they could to ban anyone who asked about it (and correspondingly, why Loter was nowhere to be found yesterday when Kiwi Operatives were on the hunt).

Yes.

There's a history here; someone (who make no mistake I am very mad at!) claims some shit is happening to him, gets everyone riled up with what's about to happen, it doesn't happen, he explains away the lack of promised action with an even grander conspiracy, that just kind of... goes on for a little bit, and then just runs out of steam with nothing happening.

Somehow, be it cover-up or conspiracy, literally everything that could have worked against Hammyboi has; the witnesses was literally one guy, and a bunch of people who didn't appear to know who he was or want to get involved. The bar owner who, by his version of the story, was actively working against him to bring this to the attention of the proper authorities, the odds of getting an authority figure who did arrive to dismiss him almost outright, when it does get attention from the press, they too contradict him (them reporting the bar doesn't have a security video at all vs Hambly's firm insistence they refused to turn one over), and then people are baffled that the event in question is dismissing the hundreds of comments about the incident, of which said commentators are treating as an absolute fact dispute the numerous inconsistencies from numerous parties.

I'm going to try to find those old MagicGate posts and link them, because if you can make sense of all the autism and rage the point is pretty much the same there as well; a man spins a yarn of an injustice happening to him and third parties who aren't already sympathetic to him find holes and inconsistencies in it. This is then treated as a grand conspiracy against him, and then promises of even more elaborate action are made, peppered with "some talk of" people who know for certain there actually is collusion against him! It goes on for a while, and then... nothing happens. It just dies, generally with an arbitrary declaration of victory that had little to do with the initial incident.

My intense anger and autistic outbrusts aside, I also likely wouldn't play into the incident any more than I had to. Which, given the near lack of police involvement, amounts to little to begin with. Especially in light of how (what can be assumed to be) the same exact people are handling just straight up news reports that are contradicting the initial report.

Bitch you're acting like a retard. Seriously, are you just being contrarian at this point? Because this jerkoff who attacked some dude out of nowhere has literally preached like a preacher about punching Nazis and all that other bullshit, and I'm not going to cut him some slack when he obviously has just done, in public, what he repeatedly, over and over, said he planned on doing. Punching "Nazis."

Right. Exactly the same way I was during #MagicGate. And literally exactly what I said would happen during that happened, and then the Hambly Defense Force all but fucked off entirely.

But no, this is the time he magically decided to stop lying about everything. Despite what the cops and press and bar are saying. This one incident is when he decided to be entirely forthcoming and not exaggerate to the point of full on delusion.

Now don't let my autistic fury fool you, I am indeed open to the theory the police will soon bring in Cap'n Antifag, and Gencon and the city itself will see itself in court and have to pay yaboiJeremy hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars!

... but I wasn't wrong last time. So...
 
If I was the CEO of wizards I would demand new cards would have hot Asian lesbos eating each other out because I'm sure that would get nerds to pay down mortgage refinancing just for those rares and cause such a Twitter storm that "Gook-Gape gate" would make GG spergs focus on our product for years on end.

Now I'm interested in Magic the Gathering.

Is Pot of Greed going to be like 1 Turbo Dyke with like a dozen tied up Asian lesbians?
 
From his Facebook, apparently:

What do you notice about this post?

Also the incident report is now viewable.
 
The thing about Wizards running in and shitting the bed over milady cosplayer or stores with kekistan flags isn't the fact that they're going after conservatives, it's that they're going after anything at all. A company with the least shred of goddamn sense tries not to alienate its own customers. It'd be just as stupid if they posted Pepe all over their twitter feed and started shit-talking the ess jay dubyews while retweeting Trump. There is no profit in a company taking any stance that will torque off any potential customers, and doing so just shows that there are some complete pants on head retards making decisions. It would be like G.E. starting a new ad campaign "Lightbulbs: Not For Fags." The number of people who see it and feel strongly enough to start buying their lightbulbs cannot possibly exceed the number of people who decide that they don't feel like buying something from a screeching cretin. A company espousing anything but the most milquetoast positions is hurting itself.
 
Well, this just got interesting. Witness this dumbass:

He doubled down quickly.

He's apparently a Nerdist writer and associated with a lot of the usual suspects. Doubt he actually knows anything but there's a lot of murmuring by his buddies that Hamblyburger Helper getting assaulted was the best thing ever, so if nothing else this asshole and his associates are doing nothing to help Loter's case.

Meanwhile, some local schleb took a picture of the bar in question, including the now-patched-over broken window.

Your attempts to downplay this are utterly bizarre.

I don't have to attempt very hard, considering nearly everything said victim has been involved with in the past year or so has been SUPER FUCKING SERIOUS BUSINESS GUYS GET READY A BIG HAPPENIN' IS COMING YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS!. It's almost like it gives you the impression that when it keeps happening, it's likely bullshit.

The whole coincidence about the bar, police, and news media contradicting him hasn't exactly given me any reason to not downplay it either.

Yeah absolutely. Or even if Hambly had fought back and gotten at least one good hit in. They probably would have ejected and banned him for targeted harassment or some shit, but didn't want attention drawn to the assault or to validate his claim.
