Did catgirl Riley cheat at a videogame, or is she just that good? Detective Karl Jobst is on the case. Are the critics from platform One True King (OTK), like Asmongold and Tectone, correct in their analysis of Riley’s gameplay? Or are they just haters who can’t stand how good she is? Bonus appearance from Tommy Tallarico.

Content warning: Quite a bit of transmisogyny. Asmongold and Tectone are both transphobes who say multiple slurs and constantly misgender Riley, and their Twitch chats also are filled with slurs. Jobst does not endorse anything that they say, but he also quotes their videos and screenshots directly.

too long, didn't watch

This video is a takedown of an AI slop channel, “Call of Shame”. As hinted, this is something of a ROBLOX_OOF.mp3 essay, where it’s not just about the cryptofascists pushing the culture war by attacking a trans person, but about one specific rabbit hole surrounding one person who has made many misleading claims. Just like how ROBLOX_OOF.mp3 permanently hobbled Tallarico’s career, it seems that Call of Shame has pivoted twice and turned to evangelizing Christianity instead as a result of this video’s release.

    Yep! These are the sorts of cursed horrors I come to awful systems for! Even if that video should have been 15 minutes at most.

    The misgendering / anti-woke nonsense seemed to be a huge elephant in the room in the video so I’m a little disappointed that Karl Jobst didn’t address it or defend her or share her perspective*. Like it is incredible that someone can spend 1.5 hours talking about a obviously anti-trans harassment campaign fueled by a bunch of gamergate types and then not bring up the topic once.

    It’s almost as if he’s giving space to the idea that maybe all the transphobic losers just coincidentally took issue with her decently good aiming and her gender was a completely unrelated. But Karl is terrified of forming or expressing any sort of subjective opinion so I’m not too surprised.

    * The best of which is this quote:

    noticing that so many people with backgrounds in professional play are defending me, and a lot of 50 year old dads think im cheating
