Angry Joe being accused of sexual harassment

I've heard of Angry Joe, don't watch or really know anything about him. I have no prior opinion on him. I actually read her whole Soap Opera tale and what I got out of it if true is that this guy is probably an egotistical creepy guy that wanted to get laid. She wasn't into it and he didn't try to force himself on her in any way.

Pretty sure there is no crime committed here other than possibly slander on her part. She mentioned a few times she was uncomfortable, then why the hell didn't she leave? If he tried to forcibly prevent her leaving then she might actually have something, but that's not the case.

Right?! When I was working on Dreadnought, he swung by our booth at PAX South. I was surprised (somewhat) that while he acted pretty comfortable and extroverted via videos. In person he really didn't, at least in that moment. I was showing him the ropes on the game as I was asked to. The entire time I was providing info, it's like I was talking to a wall. He didn't even really acknowledge me, lmao. Maybe he expected me to act star struck? I don't know, that ain't me, especially with influencers/YouTubers, lol. The crew that was with him however, were all really cool. I just figured he was having a day, haha.

It's why I said he's a bit socially awkward in that previous post. Definitely feels accurate.

He's done live stuff during E3. He joined a panel for one of the bigger sites or maybe it was youtube's show. Anyway, it wasn't just him but he definitely came off as a bit more reserved and socially inhibited than you would expect based on his persona.
 
He really stood up for Spoony when he got destroyed over an edgy joke that was par for the course for TGWTG. I hope he gets as much support now as he gave then.

Avatar has me leaning towards overreaction or complete bullshit.
Was my first reaction too, it's almost always like this, you just have to check the profile of the person to see if it seems legitimate or if it's another case of sjw non sense.

The failure of the victim to exercise their agency does not mitigate or excuse the perpetrator's immoral intentions and actions. Lying to someone is wrong; telling someone to accompany you to your hotel room so that you can quickly do one thing and then leave when your actual intention is to get them to do something else is immoral. Period. Lying and deceiving is wrong.
Serious question, have you ever had sex or gone a date?

Imagine being an accuser on that list and actually having been a victim of sexual assault, watching your cries for help getting buried underneath all those other women who're just looking for attention.

"I almost got raped, but hey, glad you're recovering from that one time a youtuber hit on you. Must have been rough."
If anything, maybe they'll be encouraged to go through the proper channels to make their claims and seek justice. Otherwise it's inevitable that their voice is drawn in the detoriation of that movement and the abuse of twitter. And they really should have seen that coming.

Can you imagine what it’s going to be like for Joe, when this is over, to go on a date with a woman he’s interested in - he’s going to question every single thing he says or does. And of course that will make it more difficult to begin the relationship.

Body cams for all men! Lawyers on speed dial for consent contracts! Female translator present during all conversations!

Or just get a sex doll.

I still dont understand how some of you are so clueless about woman in 2020

If you wanna harass, you need to look like the fucking Paul Newman in 1960, if you look like an ugly janitor as Angry Joe be prepared to be denounced or cancelled if you are a public figure

In other words if you are ugly, don't harass and you'll be fine
Angry Joe isn't ugly, man. He's a bit above plain looking, but definitely not ugly.

Wonder how many of the woke brigade will condemn Joe based on an accusation, and then go vote for Joe Biden.

(I have no idea if Reade is lying or not, but nor do they know if Joe's accuser is lying or not)

TBH, men who are in the business should avoid women who are YT, Twitch, gamer types to begin with in all honestly. All of them, I'm not joking.

Obviously there's the exceptions but the drama free normies are few and far between these days.

That place is just too wacho and psychotic ...driven by lunatics...

That places is loosing member fast

The people who are casuals like you are getting dogpiled there

He didnt like tlou 2 so i could see this coming a mile away

Yes it's Druckmann's fault, Jesus...
among the others

If you like conspiracy theories I will tell you one different story. He didn't like tlous 2 for the known vomit-inducing reasons, so his profile is capable of sexual harassment like the one he is been accused.

Either way, the court will decide. Not neogaf. In which often I find the comments at least shameful, And the number of likes on your post too. In ERA you can't even breath and here you are living among accumulated shameful ''opinions''. Can't we have a third place?

It's the same type of people accusing people of nazism and being sexual predators without proper evidence (the twitter mobs & ResentEra). It just shows how quickly and recklessly they resort to throwing accusations.

No it’s not.

Not even close, twitter is a big place with a lot of mobs.

I’m genuinely surprised that you seem surprised about the ban. At ResetEra they’ve been banning anyone who disagrees with them about virtually anything. How could you not have seen that?

lol yea, been there too. I said I loved Chappelle’s stick and stones and got banned, then I got piled on when I wished Dr Peterson a speedy recovery. At that point I left and never looked back.

Anyway i dont wanna derail the thread. Im just done.

I hope AJ defends himself, but if her evidence is compelling, he should face consequences. If she is making this shit up, I hope he take's her for every penny.

People have been banned for FAR less, I'm surprised you're surprised.

- The female individual in question went to a late Twitch party with a friend
- She started reaching out, introducing herself to Youtube & Twitch celebrities
- Night kept going on, she said she consumed alcohol, though she claims that it didn't affect her for the most part.
- She began to mix with a large group of Youtubers, one of which was Angry Joe.
- Angry Joe introduced himself (he also consumed alcohol) and proceeded with small talk;

- He then invited her to follow him - She accepted, while continuing the small talk.
- Angry Joe then casually hit on her in a couple of messages, proceeded to invite her to his panel the next day and a dinner later. She replied to his messages in a positive manner, and accepted the invitation to both (panel and dinner).
- Angry Joe invites her to his hotel alone because he needed to take a quick trip there before dinner. She thought that it's ok, so she accepted.
- Angry Joe invites her in his room to wait for him so that she doesn't stay in the hallway to wait. She accepted the invitation.
- Angry Joe takes a quick shower and casually hits on her again while waiting for the table at dinner. She gets nervous. Angry Joe then proceeds with small talk, of which she takes part of with no issue.

- Tables ready, dinner ensues. She doesn't know anyone there, gets more nervous. She hasn't spoken to her friend that accompanied her or her alleged boyfriend (of which she had not communicated about before) in hours.
- Dinner's over for them, they both accepted to leave together to go to another party. Seems like there were two pubs by the same name, one of which her friend was there. Joe takes her to the other one. Though she can leave, she didn't want to embarrass herself, so she doesn't.
- Time goes by, drinks are being consumed, Angry Joe introduces her to a bunch of people. Allthough she doesn't feel like staying, she doesn't leave, and she doesn't tell Joe anything that would imply that she wants to leave.
- They both keep on drinking, Joe is buying her the drinks/She is not buying her own drinks; Though she allegedly threw her drinks away while Joe wasn't looking.
- She walks outta there and texts her friend that she wants to leave, then proceeds to call her boyfriend. They talk.
- Angry Joe then finds her, asks who she was talking to and if she was talking to her boyfriend. She replied "No."

- She leaves. Joe approaches her to leave with him together. Numerous excuses ensue, fundamentally refusing.
- She walks away, and Joe approaches her yet again, pulls her out of sight and allegedly against a wall. Completely drunk and pissed. This dialogue allegedly ensues:

Angry Joe: "What's your idea?"
Female: "No idea what you're talking about"
Angry Joe: “You’re no better than every other girl, I thought you were better than that”
Female: Shock!
Angry Joe: “You’re no better than every other girl who uses me to get contacts and to grow their platform”
Female: Denies everything, promptly explaining why.
Angry Joe: “After I do ALLLL this for you, You meet my friends, I take you to dinner (that she says that Youtube paid for), I pay for everything and you leave me hanging, the least you could do is come back with me”
Female: Refuses and leaves.

- Angry Joe then asks her not to say anything about this otherwise it would ruin his career and hers.
- Angry Joe offers to pay for her cab. She refuses and leaves.

The End.
now this is some quality text.

The timing is suspect. I'm not saying there's no truth to the allegations. It's just this all seems VERY organized. It reeks of 'this person did something wrong in the past so let's use this an excuse to de-platform' them.

With Fchamp being banned from CPT for that bad joke(which also seemed very organized), it seems like there's a lot of this going around.

I know you are said you're done, but have you seen other evidence than is in the OP because i read it all and i dont see what he has done wrong. He bought her drinks all night, and a meal, tried it on, and when she said she's not interested, he basically called her a gold digger. A douche thing to do, but he didnt touch her, he didnt rape her or anything, he didnt do anything illegal except act like a dick when drunk.

This just reads like a guy who has no game, and is awkwardly trying to get laid. It reads exactly like something I can see Joe doing. Anyone remember the incident with Geoff Keighley? The guy is obviously socially awkward. This isn't in the same ballpark as women who are actually victims of sexual assault, harassment, and men abusing their power for sexual favors.
