I really hate how inflammatory Jobst is, but some of the things he pointed out in this video had my jaw on the floor, and it was the last straw for some folks - Jirard is apparently being removed from Sea of Stars, and a lot of folks online are pretty convinced now Jirard effed up.

This video was almost entirely excellent but I was so disappointed to see Karl cross over into being rude and unprofessional in a couple of places. I want micro-documentaries, not youtuber fights.

I think when you cross into the "I'm going to sue you because you exposed me territory" it riles Karl up since he is getting sued by Billy Mitchell. But yeah this is becoming a fight.

Present the facts, discuss possible explanations, then provide a conclusion based on both. No need to attack anyone personally, just discuss the facts.

But I guess that doesn't sell views.

I always like to be charitable with my opinions of other people. I liked to think that the best case scenario was that Jirard was lied to by his dad or something. But Jirard said he knew in 2021 that the money wasn’t being given away. He could have claimed he didn’t know, made sure the money went out ASAP and made a video saying he didn’t know and he fixed it. He made a lot of missteps, if not outright lies, and destroyed most of the goodwill he earned over the years. Whether that’s him defending his family or himself, doesn’t really matter anymore.

He not only said he knew in 2021, he went and claimed again in the next Indieland that the money was going to a bunch of places when he knew it wasn’t.

I’m glad the money finally got donated - even though the amount donated doesn’t cover everything they had in 2022 and doesn’t include anything from the golfing charity, so something is definitely sus there - but yeah, no one is ever going to trust him again, and they shouldn’t.

I think his org, probably his dad, will have legal proceedings over the golf stuff.

I liked when Karl talked about speed runs and showcased great moments in gaming. But, I guess he learned from the Billy Mitchell saga that drama gets way more views. 🤷‍♂️

Well that's a new allegation. Care to elaborate?

I think they might be confusing Karl with RWhiteGoose (now Goose's Gaming Folklore), who is another Goldeneye speedrunner that does videos featuring speedruning accomplishments across the community. Goose is a neo-nazi.

And Karl is his friend caught openly agreeing with him while pretending that racist phrases aren’t a thing in Australia.

Wait, which one? OOTL

Edit: googled it. Yikes.

I guess the Holocaust must not have been so bad then. /S

This fucking guy. How can you take his arguments seriously with clickbait bullshit like this?

Thank God we have you to police people's use of hyperbole. I would've never known that this wasn't actually worse than the Holocaust without you very valuable input.
