I haven't go time to watch Scott's vod, can you summarize it for me? /nfta
From what I've heard is that Avid and Marm made a WHOLE DOCUMENT to TAKE DOWN SCOTT?!?
gentle reminder to go and see the entire statement yourself while it's available. i do not have all of the context and i am a biased third party who has had about 3 hours of sleep in the last 36 hours or so.
the first part of the stream scott speaks about how in many cases it was avid who introduced flirting into the dynamics between them, specifically starting with vampires. he then provides some proof of avid not only being ok but being the one to do flirt adjacent jokes
he also brought up how he has a history of constantly reaching out to those he's flirting with, and making sure people are not uncomfortable -as well as having in the past been in situations where the flirting made someone uncomfortable and it was stopped immediately- because as a gay man, he's aware of the rhetoric that gay men are predatory and dangerous
he also clarified that he wasnt upset at avid starting flirting and then deciding he was uncomfortable but the fact that he took it and turned into a narrative that scott was some mastermind they could not say no to while doing stuff like giving him a birthday card that said "daddy love you lots" "[...]the best daddy ever!" "im so lucky to have you as a daddy friend!"
or when scott was doing avid a favor reminding him to eat (something he apparently forgot to do while working) was that in the pictures of the food, his bare feet would be in the background
so yeah. clearly it was scott pushing the whole flirting and avid couldnt say no /s
he also confirmed that cam is not going to come forward with any kind of statement, since this has been one of the most horrible months for him, and it affected him deeply. and according to scott, he was used as a tool by marm and avid to spin things against scott
scott then mentions how around 3 days before the whole situation with sbk members s3 invites that would be send based of activity and such, he suddently got a very long text message in a groupchat from marm talking about how she was not comfortable with how quickly avid and scott had become friends and "the intensity of the friendship" and scott felt blindsided, because up until now marm had always seemed ok with it. he asked avid about it and he said "i feel like marm also hasnt had the chance to voice her feelings about how specifically this relationship made her feel. some of her feelings were expressed to me in varying degrees but i downplayed them, dismissed them and hoped they would just go away over time"
he then also clarifies that as he, shelby, drift and cam joined months later, they were told that they would not need to meet any content requirements, since they would have to be playing catch up to everyone else. we know how that went. as well as going more into detail about the entire thing of cam being kicked of sbk, and it's way too long, but let's just say it was clearly targeted, and with hindsight, just a way to try and get both cam AND scott out of the server in one feel swoop. again, for details on this i would recommend the vod, as well as viking's vod. it's too much to make a tldr
the second half of the stream is scott going into detail about how some time after all that from the last paragraph drift and shelby both got individual calls on discord in which avid tried to paint them the same victim story he spun for all of the sbk members, showing screenshots out of context, taking quotes and moments from the past and twisting them into other meanings. and then they all realized that they had been telling this story to all the sbk members, and other individuals avid had access to -scott mentions how avid told this to fWhip, and that's why he had made a statement.
he talks about how legs stood by him, and how it caused him to be basically kicked from sbk, because he believed scott was telling the truth. he talks more about how avid tried to present the idea that pow as servers were basically the way that his friends enabled scott to get more "victims" -even mentioned that according to avid's narrative nom was scott's latest victim
also goes on to show multiple examples of him trying to give avid understanding about being uncomfortable with the flirting, and trying to give him an out from it or from the friendship at all, which i WILL post here
AND FINALLY he details how now he is aware that avid was planning at SOME point drop a document or statement with the victim narrative they had been crafting (he mentioned earlier, but he goes into detail here), and how they had a whole multi-page plan of action to do it. he reads THE ENTIRE THING because a wonderful anonymous source sent it to him. and when i tell you it is literally multiple phases, with giving people roles, and having rules for "allies" and "when we will post so it has most impact and also he cant see it or respond to it" and it's to obviously written by AI that it's kinda sickening
anyways i DO think those are the most important parts that are more evidence based and more Scott Relevant
surely i didnt write that much
......... gemini how do i tldr all this?
but yeah. scot goes into much more detail, and more topics are touched, but i think this are some of the main and most relevant parts for giving new context
