So is this the end of Method?

[Salana-lightbringer (Salana)]

Because the organization put performance/winning above human welfare/safety. Always felt that they were like that, but never to this extent.

Like any group that only cares about power or profit like most companies.

There was a tweet pointing out how an HR department only exists to protect the brand, not the employees, if they have to get rid 10 employees to protect the name of the brand they will do it

What did they do exactly I haven’t heard this drama yet? Was it just getting pics from viewers?

see above comment, already explained

@Ràlph-barthilas

-Method josh being openly a sexist racist incel on his streams calling women wh*res and inviting underaged girl fans to his stream because he can groom them. For years

-Method internally: ‘gets reports of his behavior, knows about police investigation after they knew about the rape allegations, know he got banned from twitch FOR YEARS but refuses to remove him’

They also lied to blizzard and preach because they told them ‘we are handling it’ while doing nothing

[Azuremi-proudmoore (Azuremi)]

If its this one guy doing shady stuff why didn’t they just kick him out of the raid team?

[Vhx-black-dragonflight]

They did. But knowing something is going on, even indirectly, and not doing anything about it, is complicity.

This is the light version, he actually ended up raping a girl.

[Ràlph-barthilas]

That is why Method is collapsing right now, because they refused to do that when they had ample time and warning.

When someone acts disgusting on twitch isnt enough for them to kick them and pretend “it is just memes, he is just being a terrible human being as a fake persona”

A female streamer he had in his house accused him of raping her and went to the police
https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sr9oar which again based on his attitude is not surprising

Now we know he has been grooming underaged girls and it isnt surprised again because we know from past people like that, that awfully sexist/racist close minded people dislike modern women as they are too “independent” and prefer innocent girls they can brainwash into obedient inferior ““wives”” which is why he went after underage fan girls from his streams.

Well he also got banned from twitch but method didnt ban him then either.

Preach and Blizzard asked what was going on iwth him and Method higher ups told them “we are dealing with it, trust us”. And they lied because clearly they were doing nothing.

A person who is familiar with human behavior and abusers would see the red flags based on his stream behavior instantly and kick him out, but method had even more proof but kept him still, they were complicit for whatever reason

[Awkward-frostmourne (Awkward)]

That’s the million dollar question.

He has been removed, now, but these accusations span years, not weeks or days Both Blizzard and Method knew about them with a former employee from Blizzard saying that Method had said (to Blizzard) that they were looking into it two years ago.

I found this little tidbit earlier, looks like Sco was trying to get him unbanned only a few months ago, even after most of the allegations were known to them.

How much does Method pay their players anyway? I seen a lot of videos of them saying they want to be released from their contract.

[Shadeus-proudmoore]

If he was a man of color he would have been booted 2 years ago just like the infamous ninja looter they kicked.

[Yesuna-wyrmrest-accord]

@Dreadsurge-sargeras

Dratnos is pulling out and is leaving as soon as he can get his contract with them voided.

Venruki has recently announced that he has left Method.

ViklunD, who was historically one of their best priests and one of their generally-best raiders as a whole, has also announced through a Discord message that he left Method. To quote him directly:

Was asked by an Officer to not talk about it [the Josh issues] or answer questions from people (in my belief, at the time, it was because it was untrue) but now I see that this is not the Method I thought I knew, or want to support in any way.

PandaTV has left the organization roughly two hours ago. He was one of the biggest streamers to discuss how blindsided most Method folks were by all this news.

Darrie - THEIR GENERAL MANAGER - has also left Method as of an hour or two ago, too.

And right now Method is nonstop running absurd amounts of ads on their Twitch stream, which has been showing a still image saying they’re preparing a statement for several hours by this point. This is, logically, causing an enormous amount of controversy as well as Method is profiting off literally nothing.

Asmongold and the senior brand director for the Texas Democratic Party have both called Method out on these scummy tactics.

Method is dead, boys. There’s no coming back from this.

All of this could have been avoided but they wanted to protect a suspected child abuser. I can’t really say I feel bad.

[Nevøk-frostmourne]

Now I hope there’s a community effort to compile and track everyones involvement. And de-platform those involved.

At the very least they should never be able to profit off streaming again - the scum can go and work at mcdonalds or something.

[Yesuna-wyrmrest-accord]

Lets hope so. I know if I were in a position to out any of them I would. I hope that this situation opens the floodgates on people abusing children and people start throwing these disgusting individuals to the wolves.

[Berserkèr-tichondrius]

Method died to an outrage mob and a bunch of ethots trying to get clout on the internet.

If that’s what you call protecting a probably-child-abuser, then sure.

[Berserkèr-tichondrius]

If the only evidence you need to call someone a child abuser and a repist is discord messages and a blog post then i hate to live in your world.

[Korrix-barthilas]

Method higher ups were protecting a known pedo and now R***ist, and trying to get him unbanned while hiding him on Douyu while doing so.

But hey go off I guess, anything to protect scum as long as its against women right.

[Berserkèr-tichondrius]

he was so known as one that when police investigated him all charges were dropped after a month of their investigation. What RP rhelm are you on that you LARP as a detective?
