Maybe Virgil just got tired of brie being a shit lib and created the allegations?
Did the grooming allegations ever go anywhere? He just kind of vanished after that?
A neurodivergent person withdrawing from public life after being the target of a harassment campaign isn’t particularly surprising.
The guy disappeared for months after Bernie ate shit and that didn’t even relate to his actual personal life. He has a history of ghosting as a stress response.
Oh I am not accusing him of anything. I just know some accusations went on and ge vanished. I didn’t know if anything else had come out.
For sure. I was in the “wait and see” category at first, but it’s pretty obvious at this point that it was a chud weaponizing SV to go after a leftist public figure.
extremely weird and sus of a situation to have a person supposedly get more or less cleared of something and still just fuckin’ ghost into the aether.
It’s hard to know where to stand on this… on one hand, I went back and looked at the thread and there seem to be a bunch of Red Scare types circling around it (and hexbear users may recall that individuals from that camp have tried this sort of thing before). On the other hand, Virgil could have simply said the words “it’s not true” before disappearing into nothingness, or even asked one of his co-hosts to deliver that message on his behalf and be done with it. Esha, who I feel is generally trustworthy, did find an old archived post on a random forum hanging out there in the net that seems to corroborate the accusation, though the site hosting it is an absolute cesspool.
At first, I thought Virgil might have been seeking legal counsel or something, but it has been like 4 months at this point. Personally, each passing day feels like a tacit admission of guilt
cleared? i’m not fully aware of the story, did something come out which cleared his name or something?
Every day I post out a haiku to Virgil, asking him to come back, on MySpace
yeah but is virgiel did died or something
