This is how you stay in the videogame industry [in response to Avellone's woke jargon joint statement].
Yeah, but nah. I've seen enough of this saga to be able to suspect that Avellone is a true believer. I'm sure he'll still subscribe to 'believe all women' in every situation that doesn't affect him or his income. This is a victory against psycho harpy bitches, but it's also a victory for a feminist simp, the kind of broken man who I've come to believe may be just as big a problem as feminists, since they're all just fuel for the progressive engine.
When Rekieta says 'the videogame industry is broken and it hates you', there's no guarantee at all that Avellone himself isn't part of that hate. It's also naive to assume he's now back in the industry. Odds to evens he'll stay blacklisted by woke corps for having the gall to use lawyers to siLeNcE WaHmEn, and no perfunctory scattering of woke jargon will be enough to change that if so. Assuming he gets his foot back in the door, he'll have to work from home since every diversity hire will be waiting to report any microaggression or patriarchic glance in person.

Yup, correct.
I'm not saying I agree with everything Nick says here - and he's not super familiar with Avellone's recent behavior - but I thought it was interesting nonetheless. And Nick's mostly right on the other points, and the story and response is still insane, and worth a listen/watch.
But, yeah, Avellone seems pretty progressive. He did a ton of good work, and how he got absolutely fucked was still wrong...but he was certainly right there with the cult for a lot of it.

Yup, he probably is a part of it. Not as obnoxiously opinionated or outspoken, but he certainly won't stand up against the people who are obnoxiously outspoken...and in fact platforms them, as I recall. He was involved (but then yeeted from) VtM Bloodlines 2, and that had some absolutely terrible people involved that he readily agreed with.
I'm not super familiar with him, but I don't think he's especially malicious. Like you described him, "feminist simp" seems to fit pretty well. He's a straight white male who bought into the narrative, and will just kowtow to the Diverse Coalition. I'm sure he feels just terrible for being a white man and, if he hasn't already apologized for his status, would likely do so if asked.
Yeah but if you boil the frog slowly, and tell people things they want to hear, then they will be like "nu uh, he is just a pervert who engages in degenerate behavior constantly" because that's different I suppose.
Fwig his wife posted a picture of her ass on some discord he runs and apparently other women have been posting nudes on it as well, he made a video review of some kind of sex toy, he’s generally been more coomerish on some of his livestreams and that’s not even getting into some of the weird allegations involving Drexel.
I think a lot of people had an image of Nick as some kind of wholesome trad Christian family man and they don’t really like this side of him. Personally while the coom stuff doesn’t bother me that much I just think it’s an unnecessary risk getting too familiar with his fanbase and he runs the risk of alienating people and tripping into lolcowdom. I like his streams and don’t want him to end up like Jack Murphy.
Oh, yeah. I like Nick, but he's certainly a weirdo, and mere inches from lolcowdom. I certainly wouldn't be surprised if he's a full lolcow down the road.

Rekieta's transformed into a degenerate hypocrite.
Degenerate maybe, I don't know about hypocrite.
How so? Because of his wife posting whorish photos or whut?
Yeah but if you boil the frog slowly, and tell people things they want to hear, then they will be like "nu uh, he is just a pervert who engages in degenerate behavior constantly" because that's different I suppose.
I’m not thrilled about some of his conduct behind the scenes lately but he hasn’t done anything truly egregious yet, has he?
What behind the scenes stuff was there?

Pretty sure he also vacationed at Hedonism II, famous for swapping couples.
