We understand that this topic evokes strong feelings. In the interest of maintaining a necessary and productive discussion, we will be taking a strong stance against posters that clearly do not contribute to this aim. Dishonest and bad faith arguments, victim blaming, and attacks on other users, will be strictly moderated. A post which only serves to muddy the waters and dishonestly portray the nature of assault and harassment (and corresponding accusations) is also unwelcome. |

I personally just sent a message to Youtube with Atiras post about Avilo. He needs to be shut down!

(1) Huge difference between saying someone should be in jail based on one witness and private organizations making the rational choice they don't want the negative publicity from hiring someone like this and refusing to hire them. You can believe the latter and not the former.
(2) I would agree that you shouldn't accuse Rapid perhaps even off of one unsubstantiated post, but it becomes hugely different when there are three similar testimonies. Then it's no longer a "he said she said"
Just so sad. Who does stuff like this?
|
Very sad to hear so many stories like these and I offer my sympathy and support to all involved.
I had no idea about Rapid I think some serious questions need to be asked about how he got into the highest level of casting GSL, ASL and SSL.
|
It just feels so surreal for me that a seemingly really nice guy like Rapid is apparently such a psycho but with everything coming out it becomes really unlikely that those allegations aren't true. I'm pretty shocked to be honest.

Jesus Christ... that Avilo stuff that Atira wrote... that's... jesus christ.
The guy belongs to a Mental Institution... or Jail.
Props to Atira for being brave enough to speak about that. That takes some courage, to be able to speak out about that stuff you suffered.

I’ve been in a mental institution and I don’t behave like that, the friends I’ve kept in touch with don’t either.
The guy needed proper help years ago and never got it. Partly because he was able to make a living behaving like a complete ass instead of being ostracised and having to re-evaluate.
How do you fix his psyche now he’s clearly gotten worse and worse over time?
Also consider that there are Avilos out there who behave like this but are charming/attractive and have positions of power.
He’s not some crazy outlier, he’s just so low down on the totem pole that he can be exposed and people believe the accusations against him.

Those who do it in spoken word and action are much harder to know/prove. Yet he's still at it as we speak. He is accusing her of sexually abusing him on twitter now.

I’m not saying he doesn’t have some obvious mental problems either, merely that this behaviour, or less severe variants isn’t confined to or indeed explicable by mental illnesses.

There's interesting connections here though, not only with mental health, but also with learning disabilities. I know a few autistic people who i wouldn't trust to go on a date in the era of metoo simply because they aren't good at reading obvious signals like 'i'm feeling uncomfortable now, stop'. There's a gap in education here where some people are left behind. Its more of a tangential issue but its always been a concern to me that people are being wrongly labelled as perverts.
Nothing to do with Avilo really, but its worth mentioning the effect metoo has had on people who already feel uncomfortable with non explicit social interactions.
I think as a society we could do more to educate vulnerable men with mental health/learning disabilities about sexual encounters. It never used to be a problem when we would just lock them away in institutions but most of these guys are out here with us and I feel like they aren't prepared for it, and can get swept away by movements like metoo because they don't 'know' how to interact in sexual situations, and its not always very obvious when you meet people like that. Often they just come across as a weirdo or a perv.
I think this is particularly relevant in the gaming scene.
I'm not trying to take anything away from metoo and it certainly doesn't mean women shouldn't come forward with bad experiences, I just think schools and doctors should take a role in educating people with learning difficulties about real life sexual encounters.

I'll echo the common sentiment that I used to feel bad for Rapid. I disliked and was openly critical of his casting, and he always seemed a bit creepy with boundary issues. Now fuck him.
JP I didn't see coming, but I completely believe it now that I look back.
Avilo I'm surprised it hasn't come out earlier...
|
Good grief some people are fucked up and avilo is one of them. That twitlonger was really hard to read.
Also, PengWin's post was spot on.

I think this is a very interesting and valid tangent. Having volunteered with the autistic myself.
I’m not on the spectrum myself, close to it and I find the lines of acceptable flirting and coming across as weird difficult to navigate sometimes so for those who lack innate social skills that’ll be considerably more difficult.

Haven't been involved in the scene lately but I still follow some people on twitter and saw that stuff about avilo, that is some messed up shit.
I always knew avilo as one who could be toxic to interact with as a playing competitor over the years. Reading about that harassment is like a whole other level of terribleness.

Regarding the Mental Institution thing, It was more of an expression... However, psychiatric disorders include very different entites from Dementia to bulimia nervosa or paranoid schizophrenia, and psychopathy/sociopathy is still a personality disorder. Sometimes it can even associate schizophrenia. It's been a few years since I studied this stuff, but a Mental Institution could help in some cases... or maybe not in this one, I don't know...
Indeed, it's hard to find what we can do to fix psychos like this guy. And it's scary the amount of people with psychopathic personality that are stablished in power/important positions.... In fact, one could say that kind of behaviour/personality HELPS to acquire that power, always in detriment of others.

Yeah sorry I wasn’t disagreeing with you on those points whatsoever, I agree there’s something wrong with the guy.
Equally there are psychologically ‘normal’ people who indulge in the same behaviours and they’re more widespread than people like to admit, or hope is the case.
A psychotypical, charming regular nice guy version of Avilo who his friends will defend as ‘he’s not that kind of guy’ is way more common than something as egregious as an Avilo
