holy hell

You know. It makes me kinda sad to see how much Adam Blampied impacted the fandom. After he left, a lot of people left. And those of us who stayed arent doing the same thing we used to. There used to be many new posts every day, or at least ever upload. Now theres just not. Its a little sad to see how much one guy can impact such a great group of people

stardew stream!

ive been confused as to why my nrb posts are getting notes again but just watched new house rules and ok we got mentioned 😭

[cheeseblind]

Hey, I've fallen behind on the whole Adam situation, has Carley said anything other than her original responses in her comments?

cant say ive been the most up to date either - so someone do correct me if im wrong, but as far as i know theres been nothing else from carley since the initial stuff.

[parasitoidism]

Hello! Hope you're doing well and thanks for keeping us all posted!

Because sharing is caring - just wanted to muse that its nice to see a part of a fanbase actually dealing with this rather well? I've kind of removed myself from fandoms on the whole as spaces I've thought were progressive have turned on female survivors on a dime just for quietly posting about harassment. I dunno - guess I'm kind of scared now of liking anything to the point that instead of giving it up I'd choose to be sus of accusations just because I like a persona. But at least from what I can see as a lurker, you guys have all been really cool about it, despite how difficult it is to deal with once you've invested in making content and a community. Even as someone who has only been into NRB for a couple of months, the last few days have really sucked but this lil slice of tumblr has helped. So yay <3 faith: restored!

I think for me now my main concern is why Carley thought it was maybe being swept under the rug, and if they did infact, deal with the situation as soon as they were made aware. Certainly, the statement is promising, even if its impossible to know if we would have got one if it all hadn't blown up like it did.

I wonder as well, if Adam does sadly need to be let go, if it's not better for them just to keep the accusations vague for the sake of privacy and not opening it up for debate like last time where everyone comes out of the woodwork to defend abusive behaviour. But then again, maybe that just gets the cast harassed for further info, who knows. Not sure how they'd handle it if he does remain with NRB.

But ive rambled in your inbox enough! Hopefully 4 player communipoly will get me excited for NRB again even with these caveats, because right now I'm being productive instead of watching BOTC all day and ugh, gross.

Enjoy D20!

i agree! while i have seen a couple of gross comments by and large this fanbase has been a kind and supportive place since we found out, which is definitely very nice to see (also my recent big fanbases before (and alongside) this were all sports, imagine the hell that is) so comparatively yeah. not awful. its been nice bc it hasnt felt like an argument at any point which sometimes it can in worse fanbases.

and yeah, idk, i def dont like it at all that nothing was said before it became a big thing but also i understand that from a legal + pr pov ig? and yeah ig im just hoping their statement is completely honest + they werent gna fully ignore it if it never came up but we will never know that now ig

and honestly personally i would prefer we get details bc of who i am as a person, but idk what theyre gna decide and idrk how im gna react to anything anyway icl

<3 hope youre well

Personally, I've found myself comparing this to the Try Guys situation a lot last year. The biggest difference being American vs British employee safety laws which I believe are stricter in the UK. With that situation, the Try Guys had managed to keep the scandal under wraps up until near the end of the review, so fairly recently after, they were able to make a statement, but even that took a week.

When doing an employee investigation like this, the company has to be careful about what they say because anything they say could be used against them in a lawsuit if done wrong. As such, them being quiet is the best they can do while they are still in the investigative process. Whether any statement would have been given if the situation wasn't leaked, we'll never know, but people were already feeling his absence and they likely would have had to say something.

Also in terms of Carly, I think it's important to know that she is not an ex-employee but an ex-collaborator. Unless she was a victim (which I hope is not the case) or has information pertinent to the investigation, NRB could not legally tell her anything. I can easily see a situation where it looks like on her end that they're sweeping it under the rug while on they were actually going silent to comply with the investigation.

Looks like they've removed everything from the twitch...

i dont quite know what you mean, if you mean the vods are no longer up then i think theyre making them patreon exclusive per this part of their latest patreon post

which didnt seem like what they were saying last stream but idk

otherwise the channel seems normal when i just looked?
