So Alyssa should do that against jt since he promoted a psychopath that harrassed and threatened her? There was no doxxing involved unless you just want to make up your own meaning, I wouldn't expect you to actually know what words mean.
"The husband of her children" Allyssa? You just called JT the husband to his own kids? JT? I think she's trying to imply your wife has been unfaithful.
You and your wife should increase your facebook privacy. Make it so only friends or friends of friends can DM your personal accounts. Make it so only friends can see your friends/family. This situation is downright abhorrent and I hope it never happens again.
This is insane behavior. Dont take it too hard, man. Just keep your chin up and keep grinding. The best way to win against these creeps is to keep being successful.
Just as Carron J. Phillips utterly destroyed Deadspin with his kid does blackface article, Alyssa Mercante has just ensured both her and Kotaku's complete and utter demise. This is the beginning of the end.
@@PolishedVideoProductions Carron J Phillips is an absolute moron. How on earth do you go and write a story like that, knowing full well all someone has to do is post a picture of the kid where you can see both sides of their face, to utterly DESTROY your credibility as a writer and ruin your entire narrative in mere seconds? These Journalists are arrogant beyond belief, and they need a massive reality check. I hope Phillips got his and I hope he spends the rest of his worthless life paying the price for his own blatant fuk-up. We can only hope Alyssa Mercante has a similar fate, but she's a woman and they always get off easy compared to men, so we'll see. I just hope that once Kotaku does go under, we never hear from her ever again.
She was stung pretty bad when Sony chose to cater to Gamers, it shattered her fantasy that diversity and inclusion mattered more than customers and profits, so now the poor thing is lashing out trying to recover some sense of relevance and influence. The type of individual that boasts a "Hear me roar" attitude but crumbles like a dainty flower when reality comes knocking. She needs psychiatric help.
While I agree, Hulk had more to stand on for a lawsuit. The most he would be able to do is get a protection order but if they are in different states there's so much that goes into it. There's a reason why he didn't bring up legal issues because there isn't really one. She didn't threaten anyone and she was careful with her words. Any one can contact any one on the internet. That's the point of the internet, communication. Please don't try to twist it either. I'm not defending her because there is nothing to defend. There's just nothing there. The best he can could do is have her fired. That's about the only recourse he has.
Alyssa Mercante: says she doesn't want to do gaming reports because she's an activist and wants to do nothing but talk about politics instead of gaming.

Over the line Alyssa! Any time someone does something cray like this it just speaks to their own lack of a proper argument. If she wasn't DMing your wife she'd be implying you couldn't get one if you tried. Desperate, grasping at straws etc. The people are with you JT; it's clear to see who's good and who's bad here.
She works on the assumption that your wife, as a woman, has no own life, opinions or will? She’s just an extension of you. That’s the only logical reason one would act this way.
These types of people are the very definition of hypocrite. They will do anything they accuse you of, and sometimes, as shown here, they'll take it a step further
A woman recently faces 15+ years in prison for making up lies about a man she had a disagreement with and it ruined his marriage and business. Her life is over, legally speaking, and she will never again have the chances to live a normal life, when you consider how much money it cost her and where her life will be once she gets out of prison. I wonder if Alyssa has any idea the consequences of her actions. She strikes me as a person who has been able to cry her way out of trouble all the way until this point.
Thank you for explaining the entire situation so clearly. She is an absolute psycho and, like you said in the video, she only cares about keeping her friends in jobs they aren't qualified for. Keep fighting the good fight, brother.
Does anyone else think something really suspicious is going on with her, how does she still have a job? I know if i behaved like her publicly representing the company i worked for i'd be fired or at least under investigation leading to dismissal, something doesn't add up.
Remember, she tried doxxing people on Discord, too. And she also misrepresented a person's point about a week ago and completely went ballistic against the person from Farms.
You should just go to the police and get a restraining order on her, unironically. This woman is clearly unhinged and needs to be stopped before she goes even further. Kotaku as a whole needs to go, but Mercante deserves a lesson and needs to be put in her place before she start doing something really dangerous. She is clearly not ok.
I feel you man, your mind is blown to say the least, shes clearly unhinged and needs to be held accountable for her actions this is definitely not normal behavior from a "professional journalist" .
