"...gracias por venir aquí soportar presidente Trump..."
Soportar sounds like "support", but it actually means "to put up with", or "to tolerate". The word for "support" is "apoyar", which sounds like "approve".
Perhaps it's just a regional thing, where wherever he grew up (Cuba? Venezuela? Here?), has a different meaning, or is actually just Spanglish, but that's not what the official Spanish dictionary says.
Update: The rest of Second Wind have responded. https://nitter.poast.org/SecondWindGroup/status/1824135694723277201#m
Basically, they don't respond to everything Frost said and all stand by Nick.
Paints this comment from him in a new light: https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/17tL6L9VNY/we-cant-expect-these-journalists/c/
Summary copy/pasted from Grummz: (archive)
Frost details why he resigned from Second Wind and his problems with Nick Calandra. Claims made and exposed in this video include:
-
History of slandering, libeling, blackballing and threatening to mobilize his audience against people in the games industry with the explicit intend to harm their careers.
-
Gamurs (Escapist owners) were going to demote and fire Nick, giving control to the others.
-
Nick was making/made a documentary for a studio in exchange for a four thousand dollar investment in Nick's kickstarter
-
Nick tried to micro manage every creative decision, steering content to validate his views while minimizing critism of his views.
-
He Isolated, overworked, verbally attacked and manipulated his coworkers.
-
He blackballed small indie devs if they asked for coverage too many times. He discouraged others from doing pro-bono coverage of indie games so he could charge them instead.
-
Mislead the community into the costs of the business in order to elicit more money from them in sympathy.
-
Even though he was not a top earner for Second Wind, he was paid 2nd highest. He replied: "I'm accustomed to a certain lifestyle and have a mortgage to pay."
-
His business decisions overspent and ballooned costs at Second Wind to over 1M, a 40% increase for no real benefit.
-
Nick constantly went for power grabs within Second Wind. Nobody picked Nick to lead SWG, it's just that nobody else wanted it.
-
Nick cyberstalked his peers in the industry to the point of making them uncomfortable.
And so much, much more in this video. Give it a watch.
Nick is the man who worked for 3 months to slander me and attack my character and business. It turns out it was all gaslighting and manipulation and harassments, part of a pattern that is revealed in this video of his entire tenure in the industry.
He was projecting. Everything he falsely accused me of, was actually his own dealings, unethical, and stalker-ish behavior.
Nick has done some damage to my reputation and my game with his lies and manipulated tweets. But, we're still here, and Nick is rapidly on the way out.
Marxists are known to do shitty things and then backtrack half way if the backlash gets too much. And then seek mercy
When do they ever do that? All I see is "double down", "deny reality" and "edit historical records".
Like I've said in the past, we can be more organized about this
Make a new topic with a list of nominees, collect votes, and then in a separate topic, present the results.
The verse you're talking about is 1 Corinthians 13:13, and the word there is not "caritas", it's "agape".

He convinced the mob not to stone the adulterer [John 8]...The followers of Nice Jesus love to quote the 'throw the first stone' verse...
Both verses are likely forgeries. They only appear in one manuscript that was written later than the other manuscripts we have that contain the book of John. The earlier manuscripts do not contain these verses. Research "Pericope adulterae" to find out more.
While we're often reminded that Jesus said 'live by the sword, die by the sword', we seem to ignore his other sword references. Like when he told his disciples to sell their cloaks and buy a sword [Luke 22].
The verse in Luke 22 precedes the event that caused Jesus to say 'live by the sword, die by the sword'. He wanted to use the swords as a lesson and to fulfill prophecy. He himself mentions the prophecy in Luke 22:37. The lesson was to not fight, because Christians have no need to fight, because their kingdom is not of this world.
Everything else this anon said is fine.
The author of the tweet just posted this by itself.
The broader context is that this "journalist" has been doxxing and having beef with grummz and other people who he sees as "grifters", so by "angry people" he's probably referring to people who actually care about gaming as a hobby enough to be vocal about the cancers that are killing it.

These "Journalists" are happy to go after old-school GGers, or people who criticize DEI, censorship, localization, or updates for "modern audiences".
But they won't make enemies of their buddies in the games industry, because they directly profit from them. They're not going to grill a corporate exec about layoffs, studio closures, or why they made a failing product, for example.
Nick and his team is getting paid tens of thousands per month from Patreon, but STILL he refuses to be critical of the games industry. It saddens me to see him waste this opportunity.
We can be more organized, to clearly present to Dom that new mods is what the community wants.
We should gather the nominations, then make a second topic asking people to vote on them by placing a comment (from a known, non-handshake account). "No new mods" should also be an option.
Then we should make a new topic with the results. Sort of like the KIA vote that was ignored, and was the start of KIA2.
And if the results of the vote gets ignored, we move.
Nick's excuse, in one of his tweets, is that "it's not his home, it's his business!" Except he works from home, so it's one and the same.
Then someone trolled him by posting a message about how they found his house in the PUBLIC ownership records and he whines that "it's not the same!"
"If you don't like this poster, don't look at it. You clearly aren't the target audience. It wasn't made for you, tourist!"
