I'm still unclear why we're supposed to care about these people at all.

Only reason to really care about this is if you're a fan of the guy in question (or are at least familiar with him). Or are a donor.

Monster Hunter has always had complete ass combat and boring as shit gameplay, I have no idea why some people actually like it other than enjoying tedium

Is someone forcing you to read or watch anything about it? Is someone claiming you personally should care? Is someone supposed to care about your input?
You might be surprised to learn that there are many interests that people have in the world and yours may not intersect with all of them.

You guys keep posting it here. It's hard to know it's not interesting or important until you read the text. This is supposed to be a discussion thread about games, which to my mind has nothing to do with whatever drama surrounds these "personalities".

It's kinda general gaming news not games only but at some point it's just retard content creators who are only also incidentally "gamers".

Soda is a fucking tool with a personality that's more abrasive than being ass-fucked by a cactus and 99% of his 'crew' are just as annoying/cringe.

There have been entire pages-long tangents in this thread about controversies over people and companies I couldn't give less of a shit about, and that's fine.
This is a topic that's big news in the Youtube space and people who are familiar with the guy (or more importantly donated to his organization) have a reason to care about the situation.
The discussion of this has actually been very minor and brief compared to the pages and pages of people talking about other scandals in the past year.

That's how message boards work. They don't revolve around you and nobody owes it to you to make sure you're personally vested in everything that gets posted

Mutahar responds to Jirard's response... by playing a bunch of clips of Jirard contradicting himself. At the very least Jirard lied a LOT to people and it's gonna be pretty hard to give him any credibility in the future. The charity is totally over and done with, that's for sure.
I don't think Jirard broke any laws, but also, "no laws were broken" is kinda the refuge of the scoundrel.

The guy who exposed Heritage Auctions (Karl Jobst) and another guy released a series of videos exposing a very prominent (and particularly beloved) gaming Youtuber for collecting charity donations (for ten years) and not actually donating them. After being exposed, prominent gaming guy made a huge donation of most of the money (but not all of it) and is now making threats that he's considering suing the two reporters. People are hoping he does so that the lawyers can shred him in discovery. One of the reporters put out a response video to that where he exposes the gaming guy as a huge liar who lied to his audience relentlessly.
Looks like no laws were actually broken, but it is all super weird and no one knows if gaming guy was actually ever going to donate the money if he hadn't been caught. But either way he's a huge liar and has lost most of his credibility with the general gaming community. That's about it, not really expecting anything else to happen with this story.
