This whole incident is disgusting.
First off. CCP, I realize you want fanfest to be a big party and you want everyone to have fun, but when you are doing something serious like a live broadcast, have some tact and provide the alcohol AFTER the broadcast. An incident like this was bound to happen sooner or later if you let drunk assholes represent you on a broadcast watched by thousands of people. It is incidents like this that are why you want to project an image of professionalism.
Secondly. Alex Gianturco, Your apology was heartfelt up until the very end. The fact that you added that slide in before the alcohol shows that you wanted to be a shittheel, as you so eloquently put it, before the alcohol. You said yourself that you as a person are not a villain, yet before the liquor turned you into a damned fool, you started digging your own grave by making that slide, and not as the mittani, internet spaceship villain extraordinaire, but as sober Alex Gianturco who should have NO excuse. What you did, in some states, is a criminally punishable offense and you did this on a live broadcast, which provides more than enough evidence and context. This is a serious matter, god forbid if that poor guy had gone and hurt himself, not only would you have that on your conscience, but you would have the long **** of the law ******* you hard.
If you truly want to take ownership of your mistakes then you can start by stepping down from CSM, tell your alliance members to stop defending an act you have publicly condoned and apologized for, and stop your alliance from attacking protesters in jita. Saying sorry is something you do when you don't pull out soon enough, when you **** up this bad, action is required.
Lastly, back to CCP, where the **** is your response to this? What is there to think about or consider? Is there any other option for you than to publicly condone this abhorrent jackass of a person? Will you continue to keep him at your side? You should have kicked him from fanfest right then and there for making such a comment. How do you feel knowing that there are thousands of players defending him? Will you let that temper your response? |
