Accusations of sexual assault by a YT games essayist
Show content

Apparently video game YouTuber Jacob Geller has been credibly accused of sexual assault, with the victim coming out to say this and unsealed UNC documents mentioning that a Geller, Jacob was suspended from the university due to breaking the university's rules concerning sexual assault or sexual violence. Fucking hell. Can we please have a games media not filled with sex pests?

Edit: the person who came out with the allegations was a third party and not the actual victim, Geller himself has released a statement confirming the assault

@fiore @lizzie knew fhis guy was a midwit when he somehow misunderstood the very abuse ending of max Payne 3, and wracked his brain trying to understand the “meaning” of narrative contradictions which are just rockstar being awful writers who tell awful stories with muddled messages.

@FagMode59er @fiore @lizzie most of these guys don’t even talk about high level game design like MarkMSX it’s all just vibes stuff. “Wow this game feels dirty and crunchy and janky and off”. Doesn’t help most formal game design is just corpo shit of confusing accessibility with marketability.

@rive
Small correction, the person that came out about this wasn't the victim, it was an uninvolved third party that knew him when this happened. Still really bad, though!!

@AppleAmps it's also really bad that Geller would keep this from close professional associates, although he did claim that his wife knew long before they were dating, and that many friends knew too. I know that saying "yeah I am a sexual abuser" to everyone would be disrespectful to the victim but surely something could be said
