lunaversity7971: if only these detectives could find xemo some hair
SuuMyyDii: Man so many people labeled him a misogynist on twitter for calling it fake, they must feel so stupid realizing it's fake, and that a woman made this.
Combo7-y2h: Not only did this person fabricate the images to destroy the reputation of others, but they themselves are the ones who created the vile stuff about the women in the images. Truly deplorable.
Yin_yue_: People seem to forget that Discord isn't just an app - it's a browser-based program. The developer tools built into the browser version are accessible to every single end user with a Discord account and a keyboard. With a few keystrokes, a few minutes of your time, and absolutely no special code or programs or tools, you can use Discord to change people's posts to say literally ANYTHING. You can make their post say whatever the hell you want. You can create as many fake screenshots as you like.
Discord screenshots are some of the worst forms of "evidence" on the internet right now. Xeno was on the right track taking a video recording of his message history like he did in the previous video concerning this topic - it's a hell of a lot harder to fake a video recording with what i've outlined above due to how the editing works, and to my knowledge you need the browser program to do it, not the app.
Bottom line, take Xeno's advice - don't believe everything you see on the internet.
anthonyseverino8292: You should know that those people hating on you won't fold because of this. They don't care they just think their always right
darkbasil: excellent work my liege
arthamosssg: I am going to say this. As a person who was a MP in the Army, false claims happen A LOT. People wonder why police don't take victims that serious. Well it is people like this that cause it. I have watched good men loose literally everything based on false accusations. One NCO in my unit had to get reclassed, wife divorced him (at which he had to pay alimony and now child support) and got a full grade article 15 (loosing his rank from E-5 to E-1, had to pay money to the Army, lost a ton of benefits and had to do extra duty). All because 2 females called rape on him when they got caught "ontop" of him while he was passed out drunk on a couch. Luckily the person that caught them was also sleeping with one of the girls in question. Fast forward a month later they were bragging about it while drunk to one of the females in my platoon. She got pissed and went straight to our First Sergeant. Damage was done and there was no way to reverse what happened to him. So those 2 girls got a "wall to wall counseling" from every female in our unit. Basically for you civi's they beat the shit out of the 2 accusers. I could go on for days with stories about girls getting fake i.d.'s going to clubs and ending up in soldier's barracks and trying to call rape because they were afraid of being in trouble.
AlastorXIV: Discord detectives cooked on this one ain't gonna lie
perditus_paradisus: i had to witness all the twitter comments shitting on xeno but at the end of the day I knew xeno is always my role model
hikurus1764: If we know the character who posted these images on the XIV server, all Mist needs to do is to talk to a lawyer specialised in an anonymous social media defamation case and get the information of the character's account disclosed by SE. Then he can file a lawsuit. Ez money. It's also gonna be another funny FFXIV's-amazing-community shenanigans.
DJThomas59: False accusations are serious. I know a person going through it. He was cuffed without warning. He fought the case and won (she done this before to people), but it wasnt the end. She harrassed him and made him lose several job opportunities. Messaged family and friends, and even tried to get her friends to attack him. He currently has a restaining order, which she broke several and they still in court. Last meeting she wasnt prepared so they have to delay it.
This isnt against women saying they're all liars, but it would be unfare to take things at face value and potentially ruin a life.
Sen-wah: I know we all meme on baldicante, but telling people to just stop and think about things for a day is genuinely great advice in this day and age. Jumping to conclusions the second you see something does nothing but perpetuate reactionary bs
llua-lg7ky: if that stalker mod can retroactively find the unique id of the throwaway character you could find out their main
xJadeWolfxx: I try to straddle the line, I want to give potential victims the benefit of the doubt but evidence is important.
JxzzCat: Glad this came to light. I've known Mist for awhile, and he never came across like someone displayed in those Imgurs. I raided with him during Top, and he was always kind, helpful, and supportive of everyone in the group.
It's disgusting that people can do such terrible things to smear someone's name.
docf8202: Too late buddy, twitter already forgotten about this. They finished their witch hunting session and moved on already waiting for their next victims. Like always, there will be no responsibility taken too.
Darth_Rosie: Holy heck Sherlock! Glad you are on the case. Actually found this pretty interesting. And your excitement level was equally entertaining.
crimsonshadow1477: The actually shame here is that this sort of crap makes it harder for actual victims to come forward, cause unless there's a sleuth like this time then they're just kinda fucked
n7jaeger974: man if xeno were to make a podcast i would listen to it
muovikallo: Well well well
Sneltus: great work my liege
Pythiuss: Im honored to be a part of this saga in a small way, i had a lovely chat with Zeems after and have decided he’s a cute streamer who is right. Don’t believe everything you see at face value and ask for more evidence!
Binguza: zero surprise what so ever and of course all the people who dog piled on xeno won't admit they were wrong after all the name calling they did, this community is cooked.
migz9205: Charlamane tha God always says "If, when you fall, people that were once close to you suddenly flip on you and start hating on you, that just means they were always hating and just waiting for their justification." Really sucks that homie lost some friends due to this, but at the same time just take it as a blessing. God showed you who would doubt your character and flip on you immediately, and you didn't need those people in the first place. Glad it resolved relatively quick and not much damage was done to him
tinticit: Does the dithering on the discord match the dithering on your bald head?
ARandomUser5: Wonder if its possible to find out who faked this shit lol
newbielolgaga: You know what, maybe PlayerScope is a necessary evil. Imagine if you could find the main character of this new alt character.
