Does literally nobody realize how scummy this is? Daniel quite literally just cherry picked the most remote of posts by Antonio to spin it as suspicious. He makes this long, well-typed post that at first glance looks nice, but if you actually delve into the things Daniel is saying it is just so evidently crumby it makes me sick.
Look at the post Daniel is referring to which supposedly Antonio is suspicious for:
Yeah it's weird he picked me and Toad as being scum, but I don't think he had any kind of malicious intent here. It feels less like he's progressing an agenda and more like just something he didn't think that much about before posting. And Daniel is trying to spin this as though he was trying to "kill the conversation." This just looks like an excuse to subtly hop on a wagon without becoming too much into the spotlight.
This is another thing that bothers me. People are piling on Antonio because he is being wishy-washy or something. I'm not going to type out a full-blown defense for Antonio, but it's bothering me that people are essentially taking Heyden's case as the most thought out so far because I really don't jive with it. Everything Antonio is accused of doing has been addressed at one point or another, and I don't read any of his posts as being forced either.
Once again taking a quote out of context. I hate this. It's reaching for content on a perfectly fine post where all Glow says is that she won't be active due to exams. That's not including the fact that Glow made her thoughts clear to the thread several pages back, nowhere in it does she call for lynching Pathetic other than that they're lumped into a scumpool.
Alright I'm going to back into some earlier points for Daniel now.
I have a problem with this for a couple reasons. He uses this as his defense for my earlier post in that the entire game up until that point, all he had been doing was asking questions to give the allusion of contributing rather than actually step up as a leader. If you want context as to what I mean, look at just one of Toadsworthy's posts and compare it to most of the things Daniel has said. It's night and day as to how much better Toadsworthy's is regarding "contributing" than it is for Daniel. It's primarily Information over Analysis, and when it isn't, it's just making very blatant points that are easy to follow.
Call it OMGUS but this bothers the hell out of me. He essentially said that he would vote for me, leave, and wait for what would happen, all because I had an episode of emotion earlier in the game, which he himself conceded that only happened because I was joking around.
He later backs his point up with this, which isn't much better:
That was his entire justification of wanting to vote for me at the time. You guys can take my word for it or not, but just look at the interaction in the beginning of the game. Not once did Toad say he was suspicious of me, all that happened was that I took my joke vote off unravel and said Toads was being a jerk. That was not a case of me trying to get pressure off myself, it was me being upset. That's it.
And that's what bothers me the most about Daniel. He's trying to cherry pick the most mundane things that other people have said and is running with it every time. He keeps getting a free pass because he's "contributing" the most, but he really just isn't. His logic has been backwards for most of his suspicions and he keeps getting away with it because he's using a cool, collected tone.
TLDR: I want a Daniel lynch today.
