    As I understand LP'ers make their money from having specific adverts play on their videos?

    So this would cut them out profit-wise.

    Today I played with my nephew, met a couple of friends I hadn't seen in a while, saw the new Star Trek movie (it's pretty good) and bought the new Daft Punk CD.
    Today was a good day.

    I know this doesn't have anything to do with anything. I just felt like saying it.

    statement from Destructoid founder:
    Allistair has since been suspended immediately, and we are investigating the situation as well as amending our internal policies on the matter. We are learning as we go. I have been consulting with Samantha Allen over Skype for two hours today and we are making great progress. Among other things, we talked about the violences that transgender people face everyday and how our outlet can become more committed to making this online community a safe space for people of all sexualities and gender identities.

    I want to make three things clear:

    (1) Destructoid did not act on this quickly enough because (due to E3 judges week) people were on airplanes or in meetings when it happened. This is in no way an excuse, I'm just stating that it was unfortunate timing. Once we heard about it we had to immediately develop a protocol for this, thus delaying my response. I apologize for this.

    (2) As far back as April 9 Allistair was advised NOT to post about his investigative findings. Allistair had become uncooperative with the EIC and me over this specific topic over the past few weeks. We were stunned to discover his behavior on Twitter despite his acknowledgement not to post any information the night prior to the incident. Other staff close to the investigation did not post. I want to be clear that he posted this on his on will, off of our site, against our wishes. Destructoid is in no way connected to his actions, nor was he instructed to do this. We asked for an immediate take down and deletion from his personal account the second we spotted it and began his employment review.

    (3) Chloe's IndieGoGo campaign (whether it was fradulent or not) is completely irrelevant to the ethics of Allistair's decision. IndieGoGo had cancelled the campaign already and the fact that it was fradulent does not in any way justify Allistair's decision to out her.

    Allistair has since sent us a very lengthy apology to both staff and the transgender community, which we will not republish (at the risk of exposing more facts about Chloe and others involved in this case from other sites), but in short he felt he was simply doing his job as a journalist and illustrates how much time on the phone and other personal time he spent with Chloe trying to save her life while also reporting all of the facts. There was a breach of confidence here that should have not occurred. What Allistair did was clearly wrong. He will already be paying for this for years to come, and he knows anything he says to excuse himself does not make it any more acceptable. I don't think he genuinely set out to do harm here and this is the ONLY reason he is given a due process instead of an immediate firing. Still, we are considering this matter very seriously.

    Effective immediately Allistair has been dismissed for now until we decide if this is a fireable offense, his pay has been suspended up until yesterday, and his title has been stripped. All of his email and site accounts have been suspended, and he has been removed from the staff page. We are currently evaluating what role he will have upon returning, if any. He is off the payroll.

    We have extremely strict policies on what is acceptable in social media and a three strikes rule before firing anyone. We are currently back-tracking through our records to make that final recommendation. We will update this thread when we have completed our investigation and heard all sides of the story.

    Until then, my deepest apologies to Chloe and the transgender community.

    I'm conflicted on how to feel about this.

    On one hand, it was a stupid fucking move, there is no denying that.

    On the other hand, this very thread has shown that people don't quiet understand how hard Trans people have it, and how actions like this could go very very badly.

    Maybe this will be a small wake up call for the gaming community on trans issues?

    I don't know that this is necessarily true. If he had released all this information weeks ago, it would have just been a case of him mouthing off about shit he really should have kept quiet.

    But he did all this AFTER finding out that she had attempted suicide, and without knowing anything about her current condition. I still don't understand how he was justifying his choice of action as "the right thing". It seemed specifically pointed toward spitefulness and selfishness.
