It struck me as odd that they didn’t mention his position, and placed focus on him being a small YouTuber, and being presented before millions of viewers, of course there are going to be people who latch on to something like that. If the messages he provided screenshots of are representative of the worst he’s received, I think he would have been better off not bringing attention to bad behavior, and just letting people forget.
Idk, is it really that surprising people who work in the industry trying to help others facing the layoff? Imo it’s irrelevant where he work, what’s important here is he went out of his way to help others without much benefit for himself. People who latched on that fact or that addressing this issue in Games Award is “hypocritical” really need to go outside and touch some grass.
It’s not weird that he’s in the industry, but the way they presented him during the award show could be seen as disingenuous, so of course it’s going to be. Of course he probably is a nice guy, just trying to help people; it’s the more likely scenario. As far as TGA addressing the issue, they very deliberately avoided the topic last year and faced backlash for it, but this time around I haven’t seen any criticism of them being hypocritical with regards to this.
