    Will read! Is Richard Lewis ok now? I always remember his vanishing from casting after he choked somebody out :chris-rocked:

      Lewis is a pretty decent journalist in E-sports spaces, if nothing else because most other E-sports journalists are freaks and/or toadies who just repeat press releases. Richard Lewis the person is a repulsive, vindictive and whiny little manchild who hurts his own credibility every time he tweets. It's honestly the same thing with Thorin, except thorin is somehow more thinskinned than both Lewis and Trump.

        Thorin

        Oh that racist asshole is still around? "Uh acktually calling Regi an ape isn't racist because Regi is Asian not Black."

          Yeah that ape comment is only ever gonna age worse and worse. Oh yeah and Thorin used to have his twitter set to auto-block people who tweet the word "feminism", which is legit one of the funniest things about him, and the L's he keep stacking. Also the fact that he got cucked by the fact that Froskurinn was a mega-lesbian, and then got catfished immediately after, when it turned out that the woman he had been interacting with on twitter (and who had quite a lot of articles published which he collaborated on i think) was in fact just a guy who used a fake name/picture.

      Didn't he had articles with Breitbart for a while? Or am I confusing him with another cringey Brit?

        I have no idea - I followed his substack, and my understanding is that he's only been doing this. Never read any Brietbart, or heard of his casting career

          I just checked Breitbart, and yep, he had written articles there before. (Not going to link to that bullshit website, but it's there if you search for his name). His last article with them was also over 7 years ago on April 18, 2016. Here's some tl;dr Twitter thread that he wrote about his time there. Here's Hasan calling him out and him being awfully defensive about it.

          Lewis is lying about sticking exclusively to esports at Breitbart. This can be seen by some of the articles he wrote there with charming titles like "Campus Crazies at Oberlin Cry Cultural Appropriation Over Canteen Menu" and "Feminists Form Facebook Group to Name and Shame Men Who Insult Them."

            “Feminists Form Facebook Group to Name and Shame Men Who Insult Them.”

            We're supposed to be outraged by that? That should be standard

              The twitter thread is literally just him using social media to name and shame people who have insulted him.

              That and insisting basically every person who has ever interacted with him in multiple different scenes over several decades is lying about him.

              Everyone lying about him is just a recurrent natural phenomenon so obviously you can discount out of hand the multiple people who witnessed him choke a guy. Hey I wonder why he is so concerned about women speaking up about abusers?

            Lewis is lying about sticking exclusively to esports at Breitbart.

            If I had Breitbart on my resume I would say that I wrote 50 articles about how the Ku Klux Klan is cool and based and the African skull shape is inferior, because that's somehow less embarrassing than working at Breitbart to write about esports.
