Some people think that it takes physical strength to physically subdue someone + sex.
Some people are VERY wrong.

  • Just throwing this out there, women get raped all the time. Nobody denies it. Men do too. If you disagree then have fun in la la Land. Women certainly can be predators and in certain cases they can be down right evil just like the worst of men.

Yeah, but did you find any proof of this story yet? Has YT guy got back to you with sources and proof or can I start my video about how Square Enix hired me to have sex with all the sexually frustrated women at Square Enix?

Had some "Why the fuck do you have a keyboard and fingers!?!-anger earlier.....but...

Some people think that it takes physical strength to physically subdue someone + sex.

I'd say yes, but that's usually how it ends up. It's like a bargaining chip--you give me sex? No? okay, I'll be giving you a roofie or choking you out.

Usually, there is an element of non-violence, but as soon as those attempts are dashed, it pretty much goes to physical.

Anyway, this thread needs truth, otherwise, I'll be making a YT vid real soon.

You should just make a thread in world news and politics to discuss this. This is a story with little in the way of confirmation, that's probably why it isn't being reported. Men get raped, men are vulnerable, women get raped, women are vulnerable. If you think that has anything to do with why this isn't on the front page, you're quite frankly deluded (or as you said, have fun in la la land?).

As a minor point, if you want to support the site, that's great. If you don't, that's fine too. Just don't go waving your support around as if it's some kind of status symbol to get your own way, it makes you come across as entitled and rather assholish.

The opposite of PC crap. Animator guy was constantly sexually harassed at work by his female colleague (which this female is a great friend of their head of HR)... I'm going g too fast...
This guy lived a rough life and Square Enix saved him financially. It was a dream job that turned into a nightmare. When he came on board he was nice to everyone and tried to make friends just like anybody would. He became friends with this woman who seem to share common interests with him and they even hung out sometimes outside of work. At this point the woman didn't show that she had any kind of ulterior motives. She had suggested that shes great friends with HR and that the HR person can fire anyone for at any time and has demonstrated it several times.
One night they worked really long hours and this woman was not able to take the train to get home... This is in Japan by the way. She asked her friend, this unnamed man, if she could stay at his place for the night. He agreed that she could sleep on his couch. Shortly after trying to go to sleep is when her sexual advances started and would not stop. He knows what was implied when she said that her friend in HR could fire anyone at any time so he was in fear of losing his job if he didn't react to this situation in a way that made her happy. He is completely unattracted to her and is being forced into this situation and in fear of losing his job and losing his ability to pay rent and live he gave in to her. Afterwards he goes to the bathroom and cries while she is in his room sound asleep. Dude was sexually harassed hardcore, hell raped depending on how you look at it. If the genders were reversed in this story you would say the word rape. The only place that he could report something like this would be HR but in his situation that would not be smart given the relationship that the woman has with HR. He hit a dead end and had a horrible memory but he tried to just forget about it and move on, and in a bad judgment call he tried to at least appear to still be friendly with everyone including the woman who raped him. He must have been pretty convincing that he was not scarred At All by their encounter because as time went on she became an ass-grabber. He has the idea that he's going to make up a girl that he is in love with and bring it up to her and hopes that she would just leave him alone. When he told her about this fake romance with another girl she assumed that he was referring to her and when he politely let her know "sorry but no" she went home pissed off. This guy is so affected by this he is in a suicidal place. And in further messaging between the two of them he admitted that. She took that and went to HR. hR ends up firing him over his mental state and the rapist has since been promoted.

I tried to sum it up really fast there toward the end cuz I could tell that I was running on and you're not going to read all of it. Just do this think about the last time that you heard an article of anything like this happening. Come on we all know that this happens but its NEVER picked up by the media. It's cases like this where Independent Media shines. Gbatemp is independent.
I'll just end here at that.

So far this is just a story. This youtuber may believe it, doesn't mean it actually happened. It could easily have happen, it's not like it's terribly unlikely. These sorts of things can and do happen. Some people are huge jerks. But people also lie. You have to verify someone's account through several sources to verify before you can report on it, ethically.

- Who is the source? Are they reliable and do they have any reason to lie or mislead?
- what are the people's names?
- when did this happen?
- who knew of this story?
- were any actions taken in response to this story? by whom?
- Who harrassed him and were any police reports made?
- Are there any emails or memos that can validate the story?
- How do we know this wasn't just made up on /pol/ to rustle jimmies?

Dang give it a little time people. This didn't JUST happen and there is no hurry to get exposure.
No need to come in acting like that. Heck I already cancelled my patreon to GBATemp a week ago actually and I just haven't decided whether it's worth reinstating. Nothing against gba it's just that it does little to nothing for me I'm not trying to make friends here so I don't care how I come across to anyone. I haven't been rude or unkind for sure even tho people are trying to make this into a damn joke.
This is actually old news anyway. Give it time. Y'all haven't even waited but maybe 12 hours tops. :)

This likely hasn't been reported on by anyone because not a single solitary shred of proof or source has been provided. As far as I can tell, literally this one Youtube video is the only report on it despite being "reported to major news outlets", which suggests that yeah it probably wasn't or it was, investigated, and likely isn't true. If a proper source with factual information provided is available, it will be reported on for sure. Until then, this is just some Youtube video by some random dude which is not a valid source.

If we reported on every single Youtube video out there with 0 sources or proof to a matter, we'd be filled with "WALUIGI CONFIRMED FOR SMASH DLC" and other such nonsense.
What, you mean Waluigi isn't confirmed for Smash? :cry:

Even if this is real (which, isn't unlikely, like you said these kind of things happen), the way it's framed in the thread title, you make it sound like this is Square Enix' fault, when it sounds more likely that HR was not aware what happened and this is all the fault of that woman. Also the title is frankly clickbait. It might be fitting for the World News section, keep in mind stuff in the World News section doesn't generally get front paged. This is a gaming focused site after all. There are other sites better suited for this sort of thing and if they won't report on it they probably don't consider it big enough news because it happens all the time. The Daily Mail would no doubt report on it because they like to report on these kind of small stories (sad as the story might be, it's still small in the grand scheme of things) but you can barely trust half of what is written there.

Yeah i heard about this 2, the story was even sent to Polygon, Kotaku and so forth but they didn't report on it. If it would be a female the whole world would be over it but it being a male everybody swipes it under the rug. The world of today is a world were men are getting less rights than women instead of equality it is shifting towards sexism against men.

Dude if this isn't gaming news then why would gbatemp post about Mr. Hiddaji verbally abusing employees? That's not game news but in the aspect that it's a gaming company as the subject matter then it kinda qualifies.
If you tell me that NOR story is more gaming related then this then I would say you are wrong.
And name a gaming site better suited for this gaming related news... Go ahead I'll wait.
Disgusts me that so many people buy into the double standard hook line and sinker.

I personally don’t believe that guy made up the emails he was reading out loud but then again there is no proof and I understand that in this situation nobody would provide proof to protect subjects. It is what it is, either believe it or don’t, but what’s certain is that the title of this thread is clickbait and should be filed as rumor.

I can say that progress is being made to *hopefully* get to the bottom of this. I have solidified a few contacts and am sitting on a few documents that I've been too busy to sift through today. I am not sure if I have everything Jeremy had but I think I am close to contacting the alleged victim.

I am totally willing to update the thread title if I can to mark it [rumor].That is very reasonable and honestly should have been that way from the git.
As far as the language used in the title, seems appropriate to me.

Hopefully I can get this out if it can be grounded in sources with evidence and whatnot soon. I'll update when I get more. ;)

EDIT: if a mod can fix the title to indicate it's rumor. I tried and don't think I can. Please and thanks

Most domestic violence is perpetrated by women, yet no one believes stories like that. That's what you get when over 80% of all basic education is done by women and most are "feminist".

Honestly contacting anyone on this would just be rude imo . How would you feel about a forum looking into a deeply personal situation like that on an online forum anyone can see, finding a way to contact them, and then trying to get more info that probably isn't actually substantial or actual evidence? If they had more info they would say something, they already lost their job, and if any if this is real and info is out there then investigations will be/ have be done. I feel like he should have stuck to his guns as well regardless of the situation, but different people do different things and sometimes you don't know what you'd do in a situation like that before it happens.

People do care, if anything people here complain because they also care about journalism and don't like the idea of spreading rumours not fact checked or backed up by a relevant source.

No one cares because its pathetic... Grown up man raped by women is he retarded or what.
That statement is beyond bullshit.
