DAUNTE WRIGHT

20 year old Daunte Wright was murdered by police in Brooklyn Center, a Minneapolis suburb today, April 11th, 2021 during a traffic stop.

As of 7pm, his body is still laying on the ground. Riot cops are on the scene with "less lethals" AND live weapons in response to a large crowd that has formed to hold space for grief and anger. Daunte's mother is there and speaking, and she shared the above photo of Daunte.

The Derek Chauvin trial is currently ongoing and these police are out here still actively murdering our neighbors. ACAB forever.

Say his name and demand Justice for Daunte Wright

Slight correction: He wasn't sexually harassing his co-workers, he was sexually harassing fans. Underage fans.

youre absolutely right, i regret leaving that out, the exact situation slipped my mind because i haven't read up on it since it all went down

it was both underaged fans as well as women in his industry or trying to break in that had less clout than him. he’s a scumbag in a multitude of ways

Nick Robinson(Babylonian) is a serial abuser who was fired for sexually harassing his coworkers and under age fans.

Before being fired Nick held a lot of influence in the video game community at the time through Polygon. Along with using that power of his platforms reach as an ‘in’ for finding his victims he also used that platform against victims in the industry as more than just a vague threat to stop them from rejecting his predatory advances- the reason this behavior was eventually outed was due to the fact that he had given a scathing public review against a video game in beta and the creator bravely came out to ask if he’d have given them a better review if they’d sent him the nudes like he’d asked. He’d been harassing them and their coworker friend. Because they rejected his gross advances he then took it out on their game- their livelihood.

Games live and die on their press. A bad review from a beloved popular personality reviewer can kill a project. Months upon years of hard work from a wide creative team can be rendered moot as sales tank because fans trust the reviewer. Nick sexually harassed these women in the gaming industry and then used his platform to try and sabotage their careers in the game industry. A particularly heinous example of quid pro quo sexual harassment given that women in the gaming industry famously experience a less than hospitable workplace environment already.

Polygon did a stand up job in their handling of the situation- immediately putting a freeze on everything to conduct a thorough investigation and deplatforming Nick. He was very quickly fired from his position there. The entire ordeal hurt Nick’s coworkers who had been betrayed, Nick’s fans who’d trusted him, the integrity of video game journalism, and of course all of the people that Nick had abused and harassed.

Don’t let Nick regain a platform again. Nick can not be trusted with it. Second chances aren’t for people who’ve repeatedly shown time and time again that they will abuse them. He’s a very charming man and has had a lot of enjoyable content. I don’t doubt that his new content will probably appeal to many new viewers but he can’t be given that sort of power as a popular content creator again.
