So the Person who started this just blurted all this out without even the consent of the victims and mostly from third party sources, so yeah. That's a shitty thing.

Welp there’s an update to this that has to have TFS, and I know LK definitely is, uber pissed about this whole mess. Martin, in a Twitter conversation with the person who made the initial call out post and document, got them to admit that they didn’t verify anything with any of the alleged victims. And apparently didn’t even look into any of the, um…shady shit Shadyvox himself was doing. It’s investigative journalism 101, never share unverified third party reports, never share anything without consent of the victims.

Wow, that's a really shitty thing to do. Unless you personally witness it or experience it yourself, always verify everything. Not only so you know what you're saying is the God's honest truth, but the consent is so important so any survivors aren't victimized a second time.
Really comes off like the person who made the call-out post was either overzealous or blinded by clout-chasing.

Yeah, I reported that bitch on Twitter for abusive behavior. Not sure if it'll go anywhere, but it made me feel better.

Which is why so many readily believed this one too. Now that reputation is completely gone.

LK has announced he is walking away from Twitter for an undisclosed period of time
I feel so terrible for him, not only did he have to deal with this but he is grieving a crushing loss of his cat
The people who did this and especially doing it without any consent of the victims are straight up scumbags.

So I'm going to admit my fault here and say I shouldn't have posted this onto the reddit right away. Granted someone else did right after me but still, shitty thing I did.

The whole thing feels so weird now because the person is engaging LK and TFS on Twitter. Admitting poor handling, but still pushing back against them.
Feels like this was a big swing without sufficient prep.

I respect that she eventually apologized to all this, but it's also a "too little too late" situation.
She handled this in the wrong way completely, jumping the gun on the accusations without proper sources. That just makes anything she says from now on unable to be considered credible.

Her credibility is shot, and this kind of thing could hurt others in similar situations since this will give additional ammo to people that are usually skeptical of such accusations.

At least you admitted to your mistake. Plus, what you did isn't as bad as what she did. You just shared it. She's the one that pulled the trigger.

Also "I could not have known something terrible was about to happen" is f***ing bullshit, Martin was tweeting about Gordon's health for awhile, and right as this bombshell was dropped, Martin was taking him to the pet hospital to see if they could treat his cancer For someone who wanted to do "Extensive research" into exposing a man, they sure didn't pay attention to anything going on, and they're paying for it. I'm glad no one's gonna listen to a thing they say anymore, they shouldn't, they tried to be a justice bringing investigative journalist and instead filed their application for the circus.

Looks like Martin has been in contact and in dialogue with the person who outed the story and has told people not to attack them
Honestly, he's a bigger person than most when it comes to a situation like this...

Yeah like I dont want anyone attacking this person or anything. This is a teachable moment about the right and wrong ways to handle third hand information of this nature.
