Not possible for adults. You'd have to remove cartridge from the ear I believe.

It's funny you post that considering I looked up that scene right after I made my post.

REE: Did you guys read that unverified account of a woman saying AngryJoe harassed her? We should cancel him! Quick, pretend we are his fans and we unfollow him!
AJ: I didn't do anything. I have the receipts.
REE: We still don't believe you because you have a penis!
AJ: Fine, I'll get my lawyer and let's handle this in court.
REE: So you must be guilty! Defending yourself with solid proof is a sign of toxic masculinity. REEEEEEEEE!!!

He made it extremely clear he was sexually interested in her and she continues to hide the fact that she has a boyfriend.
Joe might be a bit of an asshole in the way he handled it but so is she.

I'm no lawyer, but won't it be hard to sue her? Like doesn't he have to prove that he lost out on opportunities because of her defamation or something?
Either way, I'm sure if she gets a letter from a law office about her claims, even if they don't go anywhere, it's enough to scare her from making up bullshit for attention in the future.

Without proof or proper evidence there's not really much that can be done. Because then it's all just one person's word.
Because her piece reads like a sexual assault or harassment accusation. It's enough for some people to read and accuse Joe without fully reading it. Reading that sounds like the accusations weren't really justified. But it's still enough to potentially damage Joe's career.

I hope in some way Joe can sue her for this. It will teach these liars about making false accusations.

That would make too much sense though. Why ignore something when you can keep it bumped up?

Potentially. I think he reacted quickly and properly. Regardless, these things need to be addressed ASAP before they become a downward spiral. ESPECIALLY if the accusations are false.

Making such accusations carries such a heavy price regardless if true or not. People use Twitter like it's some safe space to throw people under the bus and then sit back and watch the internet mob pounce and attack without even giving it a thought.
This notion that we should believe women first without second guessing is tarnished because of women like this who use such accusations in guise of another agenda, whatever that may be.
Her story was her chance to give the most grueling retelling of her experience with Joe Vargas and even then none of it was terrible. At any point she could have simply called a cab and got the fuck out. He didnt have a gun to her head, she wasn't drugged, according to her story he made no threats towards her.
Shut the fuck up, take accountability for yourself. You had a boyfriend and went around town with a high profile youtube personality to boost your ego and now saw a chance to pounce while the cancel culture is hot and there's plenty of fucking morons who will buy your bs to make you feel vindicated.
I'm glad Joe is fighting this, as he should. I hope he has substantial evidence to put this shit to bed and give those who actually need to come forward the confidence to do so without seeing what a fucking charade it can be cause people use these accusations as a tool of destruction rather than justice.

That's a lame sexual harassment claim. HOWEVER! That's lame and ungentlemen like of Joe. I would never push a woman to be with me. I have too much pride for that.

I recall when Ninja mentioned not wanting to stream with female streamers and Reee jumped all over him.
THIS IS WHY MOTHER FUCKERS.
All men should NEVER be alone with a female unless there's cameras around or its your wife, even then keep your hands in your pockets.

All it takes is for him to show a measurable loss in followers/subs as of the date of the accusation(s). Not to mention certain advertisers he might be signed up with
that end up dropping him over this. It hurts his reputation and wallet.

And now you'll never be able to unsee it, it's a reason I dont watch his video, I get distracted and my brain cant work out how its possible. Like looking at thumb with a goatee

How is this a proper analogy. Punching someone in the face is assault. It's against the law to assault anyone therefore the victim of an assault can never be criticized for failing to mitigate the assault.

If he has no ears, how can he hear her rejecting his advances?

That's another typical reaction. "If you have proof go to the police" is a threat to them. "She is lying and I'm layering up" is a threat.
If you point out that he said the accuser was lying, then you're part of the problem and you should believe all women.
The acceptable answer to the mob is along the lines of him tweeting "I'm sorry" to a potential crazy person set to destroy him, which by the way automatically means "I'm guilty of everything you said and anything that anyone else claims".
In which case he is fucked, and gets a permanent mark of being a sexual predator (or worse), "don't buy their games or games they are involved in any capacity" warnings along with exaggerations ("he said it was all true", "many have come forward") and misinformation ("he is a rapist", "he is also a Nazi").
Whatever Avellone did in his case, it was a mistake engaging with her on twitter. It is so easy to see that considering this already happened to others in the gaming and other industries. Partners and companies rushed to cut all ties with him.
This is all happening right now in parallel to Joe's situation by the way. It's not something hypothetical or theoretical.
I hope Joe's lawyering up actually counters somewhat this insanity of throwing mud to see if it sticks on twitter.
It's also the proper process to follow. If you have been assaulted or otherwise harmed, suspecting that others were also attacked or harmed in the same way by the same perp, find a lawyer for your case, go to the police. There is a reason for due process, and that's because the other way does not fucking work and is the way of the jungle or witch hunts.

Circumstances like this are exploiting the Me Too movement. It was meant to bring down rapist and sexual harassers. Not bring down people who flirt and try to get laid.
It's really sad and self-absorbed.

I loved his Ride to Hell Retribution review. His best work, imo. Also shows his stance on sexists, ironically.
She should write a book about it.

It wouldn't be hard to sue her (I've seen the article, and evidence are too weak). It's questionable if he is able to get any compensation if that was a false accusations.
But it will definitely be quite hard to gain back some of the goodwill loss, due to the time it requires for you to set up your proof and receipts)
I don't care about Joe, if it's real, I hope he really gets it.
But I also wouldn't want anyone to get away with making such a serious false accusations. And half of the internet is already believing her and BELIEVES that even without proof, she must be right and he is an ass.
Like I said in previous post, even if you are the one punched, robbed, assaulted etc, when it comes for you to make the accusations, you must be the one providing proof. It's like that for all crimes.

Oh, she don fucked up now
From her original post: ' I only wish I had done so sooner and apologize to anyone he may have assaulted since April 7th, 2018.'
Later 'I never said he assaulted me, I said his actions were predatory because there were.'
Ahh i see, he never assulated you, but you think he assaulted others...... any proof of that..?No.. ?
Joe, sue her!

Story seems off, wasn't Joe going out with some Swedish chick or something back then and was featured in his Ghostbusters review. Even before that he was with someone else in that convention video when he was recording with a 3D camera. Dude always seems to have a new girlfriend every year out of left field so it's not like he would be super desperate for one person. Also who the hell is little Joe? Anybody that is a fan of Angry Joe knows it's Other Joe.
No matter how much Joe will try to defend himself he is already cancelled on the other site lol.
