Breaking News: Sjin kicked from yogscast

Sorry newfag, not a lot of people want to discuss your boyfriends. Don't the cults form around these faggots? Go fuck off to their forum.

No. No new evidence or developments happened at all since the 2012 to 2015 allegations. The Hr team they hired just thought that alone was enough to fire him

Literally who the hell gives a shit about the soiboi gang

The results of the investigation arent public. Lewis just said more people came forward.

These guys really have bad luck with stuff like this. Didn't that ridgedog guy fuck and impregnate an underage fan and fled the country because of it?

>By your logic you could ban all of your precious anime porn dump threads because they have much less to do with video games than this .
That would unironically improve Yea Forums greatly, yes.

Dont think he did that. He was a major asshole apparantly though.

>They really had no choice to do this
Did they, really? Even when the caff and turps chit happene, real massive things that would normally tank the reputation of a corporation like the Yogscast, there was hardly any discussion about it outside of the Yogscast's own community. What makes you think that the none crime that Sjin ''''committed''' would of caused a stink when Turps and Caff flew well under the radar of the Twitter hate mob?

Fuck sake, I really liked Sjin, he was one of the last few I recognised from the original 2011-2012 golden age. I know sips was probably never going to do another series with him anyway but now that's probably completely off the table. Sad to see my favourite group of content creators fall apart over something so petty

why are britbongs so desperate for sex?????

Who?

T. Doesn't know jack shit about the Yogscast but decided to join in anyway

Fucking hell.
There goes the last reason to watch Yogscast content.
They are destroying themselves by firing people over minor Code of Conduct breaches.
Sips and Sjin have been the only "real" people left at the Yogscast for a long time now.
This is the final nail in the coffin.

Zoomies just can't stop discussing e-celeb drama and mods let them

lewis AND sjin both said he kept doing it recently

Sjin is only fun when he plays with sips and since that never happens anymore anyway, I say it's no big loss. Now all he does is low effort trolling anyway.

What was your favourite yogs series? For me, it's Jaffa Factory

AVGN is pre-youtube, calling him an e-celeb is dishonest. He's a part of online video game culture.
His content was always first and foremost about video games and not about capitalizing and making money off internet fame

There was a livestream where a drunk Lewis ranted about him and pretty much said just that. I guess they scrubbed it from the net because I can't find the clip anymore, so believe what you will. Ridge is a pretty fucked up dude though regardless.

The Yogscast were a very famous youtube group of many channels and were among the first youtubers to popularize minecraft. The have sled into irrelevancy in the past years.

im really surprised the other two didnt get threads but every day theres 50 literallywho threads about the most inane shit.

i want to talk about this shit without having to go to reddit and conform to their faggotry

Maybe Sjin will go back to doing let's build episodes, I really liked those.
Can't be bothered to find proof but I'm almost sure you're right, Ridge fucked off to another country and left his wife and daughter behind

literally started rewatching voltz yesterday
fuck this me too shit

>minecraft gets popular again
>their company suddenly fells apart
unlucky

>the other two didnt get threads
To be fair I used to watch Yogs back in the golden days and I've literally never watched a caffe video, he's one of those shit new members. Turps was a good personality for events like the jingle jam but I never figured him as a real "content creator" so he wasn't really as well known. Sjin is much more popular especially given his ties with Sips

>i want to talk about this

Neck yourself zoomer

Nothing of value was lost. Lewis, Tom, and Ben are the only ones worth watching.

there were some threads about caff and turps leaving too but nobody really cares about them, while sjin has been a long time yogscast member

Take that back right now lad

Attached: Sips-100002.jpg (240x240, 10K)

his wife left him for i dont know what. then he moved in with a lesbian roomate and her girlfriend. then he fucked her straight. then he moved away from that mess. then he moved to iceland or something to marry a previous fan. apparently he did indeed fuck and/or impregnate an under aged fan. no idea if this is why the divorce happened or not but it did happen

What does the age of a prominent internet gaming celebrity matter? If someone like Ninja or another massively popular gaming celebrity had drama it should be talked about because it has ramifications on the gaming community and gamers as a whole

Im a 32 y/o boomer who watched the yogscast back in the day. It was comfy to have it on during cooking or doing some household chores.

Caff was whatever
Turps was a cool guy and it was sad to see him go
Sjin leaving is a big fucking deal, being one the best members

What a madman haha
Yep. Looking at their channel now it might seem that they're a very zoomer-oriented network but the Yogscast used to be a lot more adult-oriented back in the earlier years.

Sips is hardly yogscast anymore anyway. All he does is stream shit games. Even his current minecraft playthrough is shit without the other lads.

i was hoping to find threads shitting on caff or something. i never found anything. this is the first one ive seen and already niggers are trying to kill it in favor of fornite streamer threads

>All he does is stream shit games
True. I tried watching his farming sim stream VODs but there's just too much fucking content, it's impossible to keep up. Streaming will never surpass a good youtube series, let alone a co-op series with someone like Sjin.

I wish he stuck with the original Fallout. I really liked that playthrough and I don't think he ever finished it

It's more that the whole company has been managed so retardedly that it killed every long standing yogscast channel from any future growth. There used to be a time when Duncan's channel was actually growing because people liked the civilization content released on his channel, then the company decided to port on to a new channel called 'Civilization' where everything got half the views

>famous youtube group of many channels
That's strange, I use youtube a lo...

Hopefully he completes that game on stream. The skyrim stream was okay. Not youtube tier entertainment, but okay nontheless.

people mocked him a little bit for being a creep but nobody actually really cared him in the first place to talk that much

>tfw you're retarded and thought sips abandoned gaming alltogether
>tfw you realize he's been active on twitch for the past several years
>tfw you find out his streams are mostly silence or talking to chat and has nothing like his endless rambling in his youtube vids

God their obsession with starting a new channel for everything is so annoying
Gonna rewatch his original skyrim series after I'm done jaffa factory, that was god-tier sips

>e anyway. All he does is stream shit g
Yeah they were a channel that was more kid/young adult focused back in 2011-14 so past your era presumably

youd think that but theyre not. they still shit talk all day and do stupid shit. theyre not loud for views or meme edit their videos. they basically havent changed past lewis going insane and simon getting pozzed.

by the way, i wish hannah would get the axe next

I wonder if he could do it with his shitty build. The Mike Tyson stuff was pure gold though. I miss the old sips.

Yeah I stopped watching yogscast during 2015-2017 and coming back to Sips' channel to find no uploads in the past 5 months gave me a fright. He has a separate channel called Sips Live now where there's VODs and the occasional highlight video but it's just not the same.

Eh, dunno, Voltz was pretty Kino.

>Hohoho travelers thanks for getting the Staff of Magnus for me. I'll be taking that.

I still watch sips and strippin stream sometimes but I have mostly switched over to watching japanese streamers so I don't spend that much time on twitch

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of Yea Forums are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bait to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

Don't think my last post sent so apologies if there's a duplicate: Triforce podcast is amazing, you should give it a listen

Surprised Lewis hasn't been meetoo'd for his drunken mysoggyknees during Jingle Jams.

>I posted a cancerous off topic thread
>people are telling me to fuck off
>how could this be happening to me

>pyrion
hard pass

Anyone see that cancerous tumblroid who compiled a load of "evidence" against sjin and was so fucking eager to see his career ruined?

This.
Double standards for the founder I guess.

It's always the silent ones who you gotta watch out for. Lewis is just a loudmouthed idiot when he drinks, but he doesnt do shady things.

Voltz for sure

Yeah he's a bit grating but the chemistry is actually pretty good, it's worth it for the prime Sips/Lewis banter

What's with all of these sexual allegations popping up recently? Is there another movement I'm not aware of?

cope

Wasn't Lewis hooking up with Hannah and giving her a channel and presence essentially what Sjin was doing but on a much bigger scale?

I guess it doesn't really matter. But I think the reason why AVGN gets respect is because he made content out of passion. He seems like a genuine person who has always respected and appreciated his audience. A lot of post-2010 creators have gone above and beyond to monetize their fans and it's just hard to respect something like that, especially because a lot of content creators aren't likeable people

I can’t believe gossiping faggots like you exist

Sips is the only good member anyway.

I don't think he's actually done anything but I can see buttblasted vvymen getting mad enough at him to try and start some shit.

theyre ALL going down if anyone decides to speak up. they ALL flirted with fans. shit, lewis did it and fucked one too and then he kept her around for sex. that was hannah. probably why he refuses to have her investigated for breach of contract.

she doxxed and harassed a kid and her boyfriend harassed the fanbase but shes not an "employee" so lewis wont investigate her. shes still affiliated and uses the brand but is immune, i suppose because then lewis will have to step away when she flaps her lips once fired

Neither Turps nor Sjin have been doing "shady" things.
They may have had flirtatious conversations with fans but that was it.
This whole thing is ridiculous.

The thing is the Yogscast have gotten so irrelevant the only people in the know about what is said and done by its members, are already megafans. So it's unlikely that anything could come out since they managed to hide under such irrelevancy

yes. she was a fan whom he contacted and then met physically

AVGN is then receiving speshul tweatment because he was an early adopter? That's just fucking stupid. He's a youtuber and on the same tier as all these.

she wasn't a fan, she was in the yogs wow guild, watch very early videos and you'll see hannah in them, she's the same as duncan or sjin

preach

>hire HR
>everything goes to shit
Every single time.

Well they both admitted to doing shady stuff.

Is Sips still there?

They've gotta justify their worthless existence somehow.

I understand, but I feel you do not know the Yogscast well, because to those who know about them, they had a similar story of being wholesome and passionate. Sjin and many of these old members meant a lot to people like me and others ITT so I feel its worth having one doubtfully on-topic thread for us

Nu Sjin was ass anyway. We have Tom who is actually entertaining.

>"sexting" and getting nudes are shady stuff now

Turps manipulated fans for nudes while his wife was pregnant. Shit like that is unacceptable fir a working environment, but Sjin only made some women feel moderately uncomfortable. Never did anything worth having his entire career deep sixed forever

>i wish hannah would get the axe next
Why?

Simon is next.

Wasn't this guy the #2 reason people watched their content?

It was unsollicited, wasnt it? Thats a dick move.

Yes

It is when you have a powerful indivisual using his relation to a brand important with many people to manipulate others into actions they don't want to do. If turps asked some rando who didn't know who he was for nudes then its irrelevant, it doesn't matter. But when you add that manipulation element into it, it becomes a big deal

i remember them literally talking about how they met and hannah was a fan. self described. maybe she was a fan and then joined the guild

cause this

He's turned into a real SJW puppet, chances are he's a fully fledged pedophile.

He was one of the few channels of their with a long standing fan base and income and his involvement with the main channel was seen as some of the most engaging content they made.

he isn't even relevant any more, probably of his own accord.

Yogs went down hill when they started adding so many girls to everything

Nah, he just sits at home with his cats. It's clear the guy is very lonely.

she's lomadia, the elf resto druid who's been in the raids back in the day, I don't know what you remember but she's been a goon as long as sjin, duncan and sips have

Sips is a Twitch streamer now.
He technically still is part of the Yogscast but doesn't really do videos with them anymore.

Wait til they crack down on Lewis's smack addiction

Looking forward to GTA and TTT to just be Lewis and 5 thots + Rythian in a year.

Sure... 5 years ago. You cant honestly say sjin added anything to the main channel(s) in years. All he does is fuck around or quit early. It was infuriating.

>watching those shitty gta and ttt vids
I laughed when Turps and Simon took a dump on their on main channel

Not true. Sure you may think that Sjin is lame now, but Sjin is currently one of the most popular members of the YOgscast and his trolling is seen as some of the most entertaining shit is the main channels repetitive TTT/GTA train they've been on for 4 fucking years now

SHATblock was kino, sips and hat films go so well together

Male sjws are always pedos and rapists.

no the girls are good. the original girls were shit and incompetent. the new ones are great minus the ones who dont show up in the main channel. radders blew the fuck out of all other girls and rivaled the boys in skill but unfortunately doesnt play with them anymore. bouphe and lydia are pretty funny even if they suck at games and have great chemistry with everyone. leo works well with lewis but i dont know how she meshes with everyone else. nina is pretty awkward and has trouble not talking about how much she likes semen but shes still good. mousey is too filthy and the rest are garbage

well rip. tom and ben have stepped up to be great the past couple years, but it'll still be tough replacing sjin

Who the fuck actually cares about ecelebs anymore lmao

>rythian
I don't understand why they still put up with this manchild, he's a fucking viewer repellent.

I don't understand why these e-celeb types always give out straight up blackmail material to their fanbases which could turn on them at literally any moment. It's just an incredibly stupid fucking move for people who's entire living is based on turning themselves into a product.

Groupies have been a thing forever

I dunno. What are you doing here?

ped couldve made a good replacement and was at one point a BETTER troll than sjin but now hes kind of meh

Spacker addiction you mean.

What's Simon been doing the last five years? I don't watch the Yogscast stuff at all but I absolutely loved the Yogpod when it was a thing ten-eight years ago and he's a very worldly person there.

For those who haven't listened to the Yogpod, you should do it now. You want to start with episode one: Snowcast and go up from there. There's about 40 or something episodes and they're brilliant. They're about 10 years old at this point.

And groupies are pretty pathetic too.

Exactly. The TTT/GTA is low effort garbage and sjin still manages to make it worse. All he does is prox bombs. Like I said, sjin stopped being entertaining 5 years ago. It's sad, but atleast we still have the old videos.

I can understand having him in streams. It's guaranteed donations so people can call him a bitch.

dropped

What ever happened to Kim? She was so annoying

>By your logic you could ban pictures of videogame characters because they have less to do with videogames than youtube e-celebs
Think about what you've just said.

he really only does streams now. he's honestly gotten pretty insufferable the past couple years, so it's probably for the best that he's just on 2 streams

They're grown women, they most likely have a functioning brain and no one's forcing them to send those nudes. Saying no is always an option.

Simon has mostly been sitting at home struggling with depression, but he been back for 2 years now. He's mostly Tom's sidekick and he does some streams.

Every video she was in got spammed with people saying how shit she was. After like 2 years they finally took the hint and got rid of her.

And it was always regrettable and sad. Rockstars only got away with it because they made so much money to the industry

>another male feminist rapist

it keeps happening

And yet Zoey persists

Kim basically quit in all but name. I never really cared for her, but goddamn, people were fucking awful to her. Dont blame her for leaving.

Nowadays all Simon does is complain about drumpf on twitter.

Since when did they decide they're a super serious business with pretend shareholders and not just 'a family of entertainers'? They don't need a fucking HR department

No one should give a fuck what regular people do in their """"private"""" lives unless it's illegal

Flirting with people in a private consensual manner should not be grounds to exterminate anyone from any business

If you don't like someone messaging you on social media, there's a handy feature called the block list

Guys, it's a 3

Hanna's pretty messed up huh
imgur.com/a/aHFjj

Yes. Fan art of a game is just as tangentially related to video games as the people who play them. Both have one degree of separation between them and vidja

Sjin is neither a femininst nor a rapist.

oh shut I mean 6

>What's Simon been doing the last five years
They completely flanderized his character to a frustrating degree. I miss Simon when he was real and not pretending to be an incompetent buffoon. Lets not forget he was the one that taught Lewis how to play Minecraft

Mind elaborating on how he's become insufferable? As in, how does it manifest?

Simon is great. Not sure what the hell that user is talking about. It's clear he's in a better place now. He has superb chemistry with Tom.

Sjin was neither a feminist nor a rapist, retard. o back to watching fucking itsagundam or sargin if you want some retard train

Speaking of the devil.
>reddit.com/r/Yogscast/comments/ca6ylr/i_hope_this_is_okay_i_wanted_to_say_something/
Fucking attention whores, man

Shame, she was annoying but I miss her all the same

...

wait what did he do again ?
sexy chats ?
just cut off my balls already senpai

According to the comment he had on reddit

old.reddit.com/r/Yogscast/comments/cq8nnz/moving_on/
(top comment here)

He's trying to make it all into a very safe collection of entertaining channels.

The kicker is that the original Yogscast videos (the WoW ones which are golden) are really raunchy and uncensored.

She honestly wasn't bad. I don't why people hated her so much

honestly he's done so many iffy things it's making me question him being the conduit for all these accusations

he's become a bit of a sjw, but that really only pops up occasionally on the streams. he's no worse than alsmiffy in that sense
but just in general it's like he's playing a caricature of the former self he thinks fans want. he's constantly making retarded loud noises
his stuff with tom is really the only good thing he's a part of

You could just not go to his twitter? He keeps the politics out of videos.

Is she the one that wouldn't show her face for the longest time?

honestly radders, zoey and hannah are actively killing the yogscast in a very snakelike way

yeah, and everyone assumed she was a tranny. turns out she really just was an awkward girl

She was just loud, but otherwise she was fine. Worked great with duncan as well.

No he doesn't. Every stream he's bitching about brexit or trump or whatever the current acceptable thing to be upset about is.

Hannah is dead. Haven't watched yogscast in a long time but I liked Zoey. It made me happy when she started to talk more

meanwhile Lewis went off the fucking deep end and says nigger faggot cunt all the time on stream and gets off just fine. Not saying there's anything wrong about that but it's wild that they prioritize some shit with sjin from years back over lewis going absolutely nuts every other day

Probably, she's the embodiment of the SJW tumblrina stereotype after all.

Yup. And it turned out she was very cute in a geeky way. Just.....very gay.

Whats wrong with Radders. She seemed like a bro.

Sjin flirted with some fans. Now he didn't do anything illegal or immoral in these messages, but the fucking hr thought it was """"problematic"""

I don't really watch them much these days but I'll still fucking cry my eyes out the day the Yogscast officially disbands. They brought me so much joy for free

I never cared about the Yogscast as a group but Hannah was the first Youtuber I ever watched and her L.A. Noire let's play is probably the best out there.
I remember a scene where the cops shoot some looters on the streets and she said "that's what they should have done with all the looters in the UK." - at the time of the UK race riots. Too bad she turned into an insufferable SJW over the years.

This woke up some memories. Have you two listened to the Yogpod, which I shilled for a bit up the thread?

Simon in videos is completely different from that. The difference is very stark. I mean he was also like that in the early Minecraft videos and whatnot but I digress. Over time he took on this character, this obnoxious manchild character with a shrill voice - remember those earrapingly loud "aAAAAaaaa"'s he'd do? Fuck me - and I honestly can't stand that facade, especially since he was a pretty cool nerd ten years ago.

>awkward girl
tfw no shy gf

That's just proof that Lewis is genuinely pretty clean. There's no way he wasn't the first one HR went after for all the shit he says.

He only bitches when there's reason to. Simon is actually quite intelligent and insightful. Dude often acts like an idiot, but it's clear he's highly educated (even if he dropped out of uni).

Does he really say nigger faggot and cunt on stream? Got a clip?

I loved The Blackrock Chronicle. It was autistic chuuni shit, and Rythian was insanely edgy, but Rythian and Zoey's stories were cute and heartwarming.

Look at this pathetic fucking tumblr page, makes my blood boil

yogpetshame.tumblr.com/

yeah, the yogpod is great. I went back and rewatched their first minecraft/soi series a while back and it is crazy how much things have changed
I don't think he's said nigger faggot, but during the last jingle jam he did say negroes while rping a slave trader

Simon is an intelligent man for sure, you can disagree with his politics but anyone who's listened to him when he's not putting on a character will realize he's quite knowledgeable.

he said negro when impersonating a slave trader and he never said faggot, but has said cunt a lot. Not that cunt is even that offensive really

Yeah I've listened, Yogpod is classic material. The Warwick Davis stuff is even funnier to revisit after Yea Forums's recent spat with him

typical attention whore

radders is one of the roasties that forced all this bullshit

How can it be so hard for these grown men to avoid doing explicit things with underage women? Turps being thirsty for underage nudes when he has a pregnant wife, why the fuck?

Literally every other male "internet celebrity" gets in trouble for some creepy sexual stuff, rape, stalking, grooming, underage nudes, cheating, etc.
Have some fucking self control and verify, especially as a semi-public figure, jfc...

>Try to get in by flirting.

>Ruin business.
Man I wish I had vagoo powers.

There is no HR. They hired external HR just for Sjin and after all Lewis owns the thing.

Oh, Yea Forums.

Some promotion/revenue share thing for indie devs they tried a while back and quietly scrapped IIRC

It was also pretty funny.

The fame must go to their head

The child friendly shit isn't what they were like from the beginning so it's good that they're not forcing that anymore.

Yeah, but a man in his position should know better.

I laughed pretty hard when Lewis was talking about another dutch streamer that they interacted with sometimes saying how she doesn't talk like Zylus so he asked Zylush if he has a stronger accent or something or he's just retarded

He's the founder.
He can do whatever he wants without repercussions.

I think what's happening, especially with the new Yogcon, is that Lewis has realised he's built up something special with the whole Yogscast company/network and he's so afraid to lose it all that he's smothering it and trying to make it too safe. They're losing what made the Yogscast fun in the first place, a bunch of lads with a slightly offensive sense of humour having fun and laughing at how shitty their budget/content is.

Bump

Is someone having a lisp that difficult a concept?

Thats not how it works. Certainly not if you're not actually managing the company.

Growing past a certain point is what kills all fun in the world.

Lewis is old internet and it shows sometimes. He started as a goon when something awful wasn't SJW central and was all about trolling.

>with a slightly offensive sense of humour
That's illegal in Britbongland.

are they the Something Awful, Ye Olde Goon Squad, or not?

>They're losing what made the Yogscast fun in the first place
I dunno man, I didn't start enjoying the yogscast because of them asking for nudes from fans or cheating on their partners with fangirls. I just fucking liked minecraft and banter

here's the video
youtu.be/gUv4dOT_znU?t=28

cringe

who keeps inviting these fucking whores and who keeps allowinng them to speak? if being in an awkward conversation is 'victim-status' worthy than everyone on this site is a serial predator.

That's how it works in practice.
Do you honestly believe the Yogscast wouldn't implode without Lewis?

top lel thread's on auto-sage

Except the only thing sjin did was flirt with some fans, which is definitely not a valid reason to axe one of your cornerstone content creators unless you're deliberately trying to make the company more marketable and family friendly

Someone make a new one.

If there's anything to learn from this lads, don't ever hire women or let them join your guilds. They'll happily tear it all down without even realising the effect of their actions.
