DrDisrespect wins one award and new drama between old (Kotaku) and new gaming journalism (Richard Lewis). For any aspiring gaming journalist Richard Lewis is the guy you should listen to.
@RLewisReports
Also, if you're wondering why so many people stood up and applauded what I said, think how many of those people who did have been misrepresented and lied about by outlets like the ones I named. People are sick of it from top to bottom. Let's see if the message has been received.
I will be in the hyperbolic time chamber for the rest of today as I need to get prepared for the hitpieces and attacks coming tomorrow. It's funny, I remember a time when you could criticize journalists and retaliation wasn't guaranteed.
Streamer of the Year 2019 Winner: DrDisrespect Full Speech at EsportsAwards
Richard Lewis will go down in history as a hero for freedom of speech within gaming.
The streaming+YouTube community is waking up.
I hope mods+admins on this forum will choose to be on the right side of history. Don't say I did not try to warn you.
Vid above 2:45, Richard Lewis talk about this fake news story (hit piece on gamers):
Overwatch FAKE Female Pro Gamer "Ellie" Controversy Explained!:
1. A guy played at top 500 level while a girl talks on comms pretending it was her playing.
2. Some viewers felt her comms didn't really match with the gameplay so they assumed it wasn't her playing.
3. Everyone called these viewers sexist for saying she wasn't playing.
4. Everyone finds out she wasn't actually playing. 5. No one apologies for calling these viewers sexist.
Richard Lewis: There is something fundamentally broken with the main stream press.
Why do the fake news media want more mass-censorship within the gaming industry? hmm

As a young Air Force officer living in Shanghai from 2002 to 2004, I experienced China and the Chinese people firsthand. I attended Tongji University’s MBA program and traveled the seemingly endless miles of the country. The Chinese have a hard-working, tough ability – to吃苦 chi ku (literally eat bitter) – yet still maintain a happy positive outlook. It was infectious and convinced me that China had a bright future. The pull of the people combined with endless possibilities in Shanghai was irresistible. China had just joined the World Trade Organization. Shanghai was growing. New construction sprouted furiously, expanding across the river from the old, familiar Shanghai Skyline. Workers from the countryside, dressed in suit jackets and minimal safety gear, scaled the bamboo scaffolding along the buildings. Opportunity was everywhere. I told my wife that as soon as I could, I wanted to retire from the Air Force and return to this thriving place. My neighbors worked for the Fortune 100 companies building factories in the Shanghai Special Economic Zone. Listening to them, I was convinced that my language skills and appreciation of the culture and history would serve me well when I was ready to seek a career in my potential second home.
*SNIP*
The next time someone says something about China, politely ask them which one they are referring to. Is it the people, the country or the regime? They are distinct, even though the CCP would like to convince you they are not.
