First off that’s a strawman It’s not just one guy. It was thousands of advocates putting in various actions like writing letters, recording explanation videos and creating posters to name a few in bringing attention to this issue. The video is anything but cope if you had actually watched it you would know that. Second that’s disrespectful to all the efforts he has put into this. He never claimed to be the guy to “save gaming”. He has made it abundantly clear that it was always a team effort. The campaign had issues with exposure and misinformation.

    I did watch the video. Half of it is blaming the PirateSoftware video for tanking the entire campaign. Ross literally blamed one guy for the failure. That's cope.

    PirateSoftware’s video was the one that had the most views on the topic. Of course it’s going to make Ross’s job harder having to fight through all that misinformation people were given.

    He did “just not blame one guy” but a multitude of factors. Like that government official wasting Ross’s energy canceling the meeting with him 3 times or the fact that the UK labour government wrote a laughably bad corporate response to it.

    First off that’s a strawman It’s not just one guy.

    If you discuss with an idiot, he can drag into his idiocy; there's no need to defend Ross Scott, the issue is completely different level.

    His (the person you reply to) whole argument is more on the line "they lose, so it mean they must be wrong" (or doing something wrong.

    Picture the global politics today: human rights are failing all over and someone say "human rights advocate are losers, and I am cool by saying this".

    There's dissonance between what people think they say, and what they actually say. @ImplyingImplications thinks he's cool because denounce the losers while in fact he's just saying "I don't deserve these rights" <- he's the only true loser because his enemies didn't need to start the fight from the beginning (at the last with himself).
