Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sacrosanct" data-source="post: 9038300" data-attributes="member: 15700">Tim is one of the most progressive original old school names, and constantly is addressing toxic gamers and problems in the game, calling out the  nonsense people like Justin and people of similar beliefs on a daily basis. If he has become a target now? Then I'd seriously ask people to start doing some serious reflection, because if the line between who is fair game to go after is "not perfect in my opinion", then there's a big problem. Duck's an adult, and responsible for his own actions. However, to hold him up as equally culpable as Justin is not fair to him, IMO. Not only has he never said anything remotely as bad as Justin, but he's attempted to call him out. This is a classic abusive relationship. Justin sucked up to him and complimented him until he got in. Then he created a situation where Duck is completely dependent on him, and threatens him any time Duck doesn't toe the line. Duck literally becomes homeless without Justin, and Justin ensures he's reminded of that. How much do you blame the victim in an abusive relationship? Needless to say, I'm not a fan of "she should just leave then" because it's never that simple or easy. As anyone who has been in an abusive relationship knows.  The whole "woke" comment doesn't surprise me either, as I would expect someone in an echo chamber to repeat phrases they hear from the person who controls them, as that's common as well.I'm not saying he shouldn't be confronted when he says something like that, I'm saying this is a classic abuse relationship and that should be taken into account. It's easy to be judgmental from behind a computer screen.</blockquote>
