IIRC HDstarcraft just stopped posting videos in the middle of a series, just said i'l see you next time for game 3 and didn't come back I really missed HD Starcraft for a while, loved his content. | ||

Not just dating, he has a managerial and production role in her YouTube channel and has had it for a long time. The channel's success is the result of their combined efforts. | ||

Still, that being said, it does feel a bit rude of him to drop off unannounced, especially since he occasionally makes a Twitter post related to Starcraft. At the same time, it isn't surprising since has hasn't uploaded a video in a very long time. I wonder if he will change his Twitter handle. | ||

I wonder if he will change his Twitter handle. it's unfortunate, and it would have certainly been nice if he had been able to explain things better. however, i think anyone who watched husky could sense that he was a bit of an awkward guy who didn't like confrontation and probably didn't like to feel like he was letting people down, so i can understand why he would take the back door out. also, even if he did something "wrong" in the way he stepped down, the response is not proportionate. when people say that him leaving without a word proves he's a piece of shit or that he never cared/only cares about money that's ludicrous. handling one situation imperfectly shouldn't be license for the public to declare you a greedy sociopath | ||

Therefore TB is responsible for "weaponizing" these people. Nevermind that TB never met these crazy people and this group of random idiots thousands of kilometres away is just looking for any excuse and rationalization it can find to stir up trouble. if someone has a better handle on why TB is getting labelled as a bad person after his death please correct or add to this. its a pretty sensitive subject. | ||

TB was sometimes rude on TL, however, he brought so much cool stuff to the SC2 community I didn't care. We butted heads a couple of times on an anonymous forum board. meh, I don't care. TB was great. Was he rude to me online a couple of times? ya. Does it matter? no. | ||

The reason why TB is getting labelled as a bad person after his death is because there are (a disturbing amount of) people on the internet who choose to live in an echo chamber where they only see and believe what they want to, with no regard for facts or objectivity, and once they are entrenched in their ignorant and fallacious positions it's impossible to reason with them. They saw whatever petty and pathetic narrative their own kind pushed against TB and never tried to question it or see for themselves how much good TB and his content have actually done for gaming. Let alone how many times and how consistently he has spoken out against the notion of using your fanbase as a mob or to "brigade" things, to do damage. He explicitly led his channel and social media in a way that tried to distance himself from his audience exactly to prevent the very things that these blind and ignorant buffoons are accusing him of. | ||

Well the key point here is that you sound like a reasonably well adjusted person from this anecdote, whereas a lot of people online nowadays will hold a grudge for years if they ever feel something slights them and poison the well against anything and everything related to that person or content. I guess I'm trying to say "congratulations, you're not insane!" lol. | ||

These are some nice people, however, I can't really learn much from them about RTS. i learn about RTS on TL by jumping into discussions and being wrong sometimes. | ||

None of this has anything to do with Husky though. Husky never acted in a particularily offensive manner, so it's quite sad that essentially a part of SC2 history and videos are now closed to us forever. I enjoyed quite a few of his videos. | ||

(Also, TB received criticism largely for his role in a large internet harassment campaign and hate movement known as “gamergate”, but perhaps you have never heard of it. I’m sure many will disagree as to his culpability in said movement, but that’s a disagreement you have with targets of gamergate that have talked about how TBs actions hurt them and others) | ||
