So yesterday Nick Robinson (popular games journalist/personality) tweeted about the framerate in Overcooked and how the devs responded to it. Also he was pretty rude to people.

This is not that unusual for Nick. He often says things on twitter that cause some controversy. It’s also not really the focus of the current stuff going around, it was more a jumping off point. As people joked about this exchange this tweet was made.

This led to a lot of people talking, some in vague ways but others in more direct terms. That Nick had approached several women asking for nudes, sexual things and generally being a creep. He then used his image as a “softboy” and his popularity and connections in the community to keep them silent. Being the first to talk about Nick would mean harassment from fans and skepticism from colleagues. People who would think that Nick couldn’t do those things due to the image he has cultivated.

I can personally say I have been in a similar situation as him for the last couple of months. Many women I know in the industry have talked to me about Nick and it was, like the anon said in HBomberGuy’s ask, an “open secret.”

TL;DR Nick Robinson has for the last few years sent creepy messages to women, asked for nudes and has made many women feel uncomfortable and scared to talk about it.

small update:

griffin also tweeted that people should stop asking for receipts and respect the privacy of those who have spoken out, and i agree. be mindful of how viciously everyone wants to treat women who speak about their abuse at the hands of popular men.
