I hate to tell you this, but I read it differently. She probably thinks you're going to slip up at some point and say something she can pin a law suit on. Never turn your back, and never assume she's done. She's just waiting. There's no truce.
That's not how it works. They haven't filed anything. So there is nothing to stop. She doesn't have anything to offer the lawyers as she hasn't been wronged. You can't sue someone for telling the truth and she has said some really nasty stuff about herself and about others. That's whats so cool about free speech in the US. As long as you don't lie about someone they can't sue you for it. Especially if you are a public figure.
Agreed, the legal process is still there. Don’t settle. I would make her pay for all legal fees and have her sign a statement never to bring sue you over this again. She can’t keep starting stuff then walk away like it was a bad video game.
She's not going to do a 180. That tweet is a taunt to her. She THINKS by letting people make videos she's getting 'evidence' of harassment. She's not, of course, but she's delusional.
She failed at the height of suicide girls when camwhoring was at its peak. And she wants to lecture us on morality, fair play, and how our beliefs are wrong. She can't even hold a position let alone make sex work work. She is as poser as it gets. And no, eating bush doesn't make you cool
I believe she has a track record of threatening people, including telling gamers to... "Fight her... Bitch" all of which has been documented to death now in case she wants to try anything lol
Yeah, I suspect she's quietly putting together a lawsuit and thinks these vids will be used as evidence. She wouldn't be able to keep her mouth shut on that, of course, she had to let this slide.

These companies do not actually matter as an entity themselves. They are all owned by the same people. If it fails they will shift their money elsewhere.

Idk that "angel" emoji looks like a veiled threat. Probably means she wants you to keep talking about her so she can use your vids as ammo against you, or wait for you to slip up and call her "something that she already called herself" iykwim so she can claim "slander" or something. So basically she changed her tactics and is now trying to bait you. Just keep on speaking the truth politely and professionally, that way she won't have sh- t on you.
It reminds me of highschool. Many girls would play the "blameless angel" in public, after they hurt someone. Asking their victim to "officially forgive"(or else they are a bad person), so they can do it over and over...
It would be smarter to just ignore this person completely. At this point the only thing keeping alive Kotaku are the rage clicks. Their opinion doesn't matter to anyone, why bother covering them?

True, they think they are a big deal, I'm sure there not even allowed in the cafeteria of actual news journalists. Literally ESPN "the Ocho" correspondents have more respect than these activists pretending to be gamers.
It's a flipped world when it comes to gaming, Gamers have more news about the gaming industry and 'journalists' have a bunch of opinions and table full of pills
Literally all of us can be journalists. All we have to do is write an article on something, or do it audibly. This very RUclips channel we’re commenting on is doing just that and is performing the act of journalism. So no they’re not special. They might be able to idk, try and measure dick sizes with their paychecks on who’s getting paid more. But these gaming “journalists” are often overpaid and causing the companies dumb enough to hire them for their activism to end up filing for bankruptcy…
Ive always assumed theres a longer conversation thread before "you keep making those videos" where she explicitly says she will back down. If there isnt, and her lawyers don't explicitly declare as such, you shouldnt take "you keep making those videos" as a sign of victory
I hate seeing video of that Kotaku journo on Giant Bomb with those pretenders. They assimilated Giant Bomb into their hive collective after firing Jeff. Giant Bomb was apolitical during Gamergate 1.
yeah, i'm in. i'm a 186cm, 123kg dude but for that i WILL identify as a woman. time to give something back to the community and take one for the team 🤣
No offense but I can’t stand those nose rings.. on some they look good to okay but she just trying to hard to be different instead of trying to be competent.. or something like that…!
Same kind of thing happened with print comics. It was flooded with social justice warriors who hated comics but go into them hoping to get a movie or TV deal. Their contempt was very thinly veiled. And sadly, some of them were even successful... at producing flops for millions of dollars in Hollywood.
Yet somehow they let these people infiltrate and sabotage and hold hostage the gaming industry for the last 10 years… And just now are starting to push back… So it kind of makes you look super weak. Better late than never? Hopefully unless it’s too late.
@@rps215 It feels like this has been "obvious" only for the last year or so. Before then a critical mass of people believed or tacitly went along with the notion that gaming has been gatekept by chuds for half a century and there is this audience who would comprise the majority but is somehow simultaneously oppressed. It gets even more ridiculous when the oppressor stereotype ends up being a 300+ lb chair-bound man with acne. I still get whiplash when I come across some mainstream commentator talking about how Mercante and others need to be run out of the industry. A handful of years ago they would be going along with how gamers need to be more welcoming and understanding and that the "modern audience" is angry and off-putting only because of decades of oppression. I realize these people are shifting with the Overton Window for audience retention purposes, but the point is the window is shifting.
These people absolutely LOVE to play the victim. It's pathetic.... The fact that she announces she's watching "Houswives" shows her level of entertainment...
This isn't her trying to say 'You win, I surrender. Keep talking about me' this is clearly her saying 'Keep making videos so I can continue gathering evidence for my case against all of you' Granted, she doesn't have a case. But someone this narcissistic and delusional doesn't just flip one day and realize the error of their ways. She is hoping someone slips up and says something awful (like a threat) or actually does commit slander.
The funny part is, that she basically is undermining her own case with that tweet. She just gave JT proper evidence for it being ok to write about her. She basically created a counter argument against her own case, where she discribes how damaging and destructive those videos has been to her life. But now she said it's ok, so the whole case is useless now.
She wants to bring back bullying for herself to use but then threaten lawsuits if you talk about her. And yeah, if the videos about her stop so does her 15 minutes.
It's why she keeps spouting off the way she does. She knows if she stops being such a pill, people will stop talking about her, and she'll fade back into deserved obscurity. And the idea of that is terrifying for her.
No, I read it the same wag too. I can tell when it's a passive aggressive sarcasm. She's scheming something, I'm sure jt is not dumb enough to fall for it
Her lawyer told her to STFU because it's hard to sue for "harassment" when you're repeatedly engaging with your "harassers" the way she does. The fact remains that she is a public figure though. And people *would* stop talking about her if she actually could STFU because she's nobody except a lolcow.
She's likely waiting for someone to slip up while she pretends to forget all her threats she publicly made and harassment she's done, all of which has been well documented and even given to lawyers when she threatened to sue people just for talking about her
"Men are 90% of our customers. Let's post online and get tattoos about how much we hate them," said Alyssa and her friends, probably. The companies these women work for will not get a single dime from me.
I wish I could pretend I respect them as another human being, but god damn does it get tiring that they just keep getting upset when people show them they're own proof of the things they've done and said.
Sounds more like she was being passive-aggressive while thinking she is letting you make evidence for her case, except it isn’t going to go the way she expects.
Yeah.. given her track record... she's definitely looking at it as ammo for her lawsuit. However... that is definitely NOT how most people would interpret that.
Because she's the only traffic they get. Their reviews get no views, their analysis is worthless, they refused to make game guides The day they fire her is the day before they go out of business.
I dont think she meant it that way Smash JT. The way I read it is a very heavy sarcastic undertone behind her comment, read it again with major sarcasm in mind. " Keep making those videos " Obviously hoping that if you keep making videos eventually you will say / do something that will screw your career over, is what Alyssa is saying with this statement. Its definitely not genuine and she has not dropped her effort to stop people, she's just trying to go about it in different ways.
@Smash JT absolutely well said, I could have never said it better myself. @13:00 you expose who these people are and what their malicious intent is for this industry, offering this entire industry NOTHING of value...Mercante and her ilk wish the industry harm and they have made that evidently clear. Grievances in political form to force a niche intolerant groups will upon the rest, the very definition of "tyranny of the minority." No Mercante, that phrase has nothing to do with superficial bigoted traits for you to scream "racist," that phrase literally means the many being forced to obey the few, which is directly in opposition to liberty and freedom, exactly why this industry has remained directly in opposition to such evil.
It doesn't matter if she "meant it" or not. She either declared it's okay to talk about her or she is GOADING everyone to. Neither will be to her benefit. It's harder to play cry bully when you're actively coaxing people to talk about you. Somebody that doesn't want to be harassed wouldn't be antagonizing and goading the entire internet constantly... Any judge/lawyer/whatever could see that.
What is that stupid fashion game she’s live streaming? Is it a Roblox game?!? How do these people get jobs in gaming when there are people who actually like to game, like gamers, and would actually write about gaming. Activists getting the enviable jobs doing what normal people love but they hate is what’s wrong with current day America. Don’t these people have actual interests of their own that is already full of people like them who like the same stuff? Why are we hiring people to do jobs in a field they hate and for people they hate?
There’s so much sarcasm going on I think some people are starting to miss it- JT isn’t falling for anything - she was being sarcastic - and so is he … and I’m all here for it 🍿😆👍
Another thing I don't understand, if I say something "spicy" on social media I can genuinely lose my job... Why are some of these people able to say these things on social media and the companies they work for don't discipline or sack them... do these companies like these people representing them as a company.
The saddest pat about the whole situation is these woke devs and SBI type game consultants push to develop games for a "modern audience". Yet when these games come to market, the modern audience is nowhere to be found to make the games best sellers. Where were they to put their money where their mouths are for Star Wars Outlaws, Concord, The Suicide Squad Killes the Justice League? Why didn't they show up to buy and play these games that were developed for them? Then to see them take out their frustrations because the original fans of a game franchise aren't supporting their efforts since some in the industry have said those types of games aren't made for them.We're expected to continue to support a market that goes against our wishes and ruins the IP we played a role in making successful, I don't think so!
It’s also funny how they try to label anyone that disagrees with them as part of some “wing”. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE DOESN’T AGREE WITH YOU DOESN’T MAKE THEM PART OF SOME WING. NOT EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL, LUNATICS.
Could be a coincidence this happened when Chris Kindred was fired. I'm a little suspicious. We need to keep our guards up, and always "Look underneath the underneath."
I'm still waiting for her to man up for that fight she challenged anyone to, man or woman she never specified and she thinks it's interchangeable anyways.

Ive always assumed theres a longer conversation thread before "you keep making those videos" where she explicitly says she will back down. If there isnt, and her lawyers don't explicitly declare as such, you shouldnt take "you keep making those videos" as a sign of victory
A 16yrs old mindset with adult body. how sad...
This is not an age Problem, its a lack off Brain.
I Guess Daddy´s been playing with her from an early age.
Don't insult 16 year olds like that. It's more like a toddler, throwing themselves on the ground in a loud temper tantrum.
she looks like a 12 year old boy....
She's peter pan 😂
@@TeeAiDee, even toddlers tend to be more mature as they grow... So don't insult them too.
I hate seeing video of that Kotaku journo on Giant Bomb with those pretenders.
They assimilated Giant Bomb into their hive collective after firing Jeff.
Giant Bomb was apolitical during Gamergate 1.
I thought she wanted to physically fight me 🤔
She’s scared
She forgot she was an annoying keyboard warrior for a brief yet crucial second.
She couldn't fight sleep
yeah, i'm in. i'm a 186cm, 123kg dude but for that i WILL identify as a woman. time to give something back to the community and take one for the team 🤣
I wanted to see that.
She just needs to get fired, then the videos can finally stop and her time in the spotlight will finally end. Win-win.
I suspect she wants you to keep making videos as a way to gather 'evidence' for her case. That innocent emoji is a warning, not capitulation.
That was my first thought too
The best defense for defamation is telling the truth. He won’t ever get in trouble for reporting on screenshots from Twitter lol
I read it as: "You keep making those videos... find out what happens..."
Classic Narcissist behavior.
Just sue her to oblivion already.
thats my problem with smash right now he always lets her off the hook shit wont stop till shes sued till shes homeless
No offense but I can’t stand those nose rings.. on some they look good to okay but she just trying to hard to be different instead of trying to be competent.. or something like that…!
Same kind of thing happened with print comics. It was flooded with social justice warriors who hated comics but go into them hoping to get a movie or TV deal. Their contempt was very thinly veiled. And sadly, some of them were even successful... at producing flops for millions of dollars in Hollywood.
To the Surprise of No one, Gamers are the majority and were right all along
Yet somehow they let these people infiltrate and sabotage and hold hostage the gaming industry for the last 10 years… And just now are starting to push back… So it kind of makes you look super weak. Better late than never? Hopefully unless it’s too late.
what i like to call " With overhelming force"
The vast majority of Gamers are Gamers, how is that even a surprise to anyone
Dude, us gamers live in a society, and gamers are truly the most opressed group
@@rps215 It feels like this has been "obvious" only for the last year or so. Before then a critical mass of people believed or tacitly went along with the notion that gaming has been gatekept by chuds for half a century and there is this audience who would comprise the majority but is somehow simultaneously oppressed. It gets even more ridiculous when the oppressor stereotype ends up being a 300+ lb chair-bound man with acne. I still get whiplash when I come across some mainstream commentator talking about how Mercante and others need to be run out of the industry. A handful of years ago they would be going along with how gamers need to be more welcoming and understanding and that the "modern audience" is angry and off-putting only because of decades of oppression. I realize these people are shifting with the Overton Window for audience retention purposes, but the point is the window is shifting.
These people absolutely LOVE to play the victim. It's pathetic.... The fact that she announces she's watching "Houswives" shows her level of entertainment...
"Spirituality: the last refuge of a failed human. Just another way of distracting yourself from who you really are." ~ George Carlin
I think you're reading it wrong. It's a veiled threat
This feels like an overdose of reading the room incorrectly
This isn't her trying to say 'You win, I surrender. Keep talking about me' this is clearly her saying 'Keep making videos so I can continue gathering evidence for my case against all of you'
Granted, she doesn't have a case. But someone this narcissistic and delusional doesn't just flip one day and realize the error of their ways. She is hoping someone slips up and says something awful (like a threat) or actually does commit slander.
The funny part is, that she basically is undermining her own case with that tweet. She just gave JT proper evidence for it being ok to write about her. She basically created a counter argument against her own case, where she discribes how damaging and destructive those videos has been to her life. But now she said it's ok, so the whole case is useless now.
Either she's trying to use this to lure everyone into a trap or the got hit by the Phantom Thieves from Persona 5
😂
She wants to bring back bullying for herself to use but then threaten lawsuits if you talk about her. And yeah, if the videos about her stop so does her 15 minutes.
I won't let my own guard down for that! Never trust it
It's why she keeps spouting off the way she does. She knows if she stops being such a pill, people will stop talking about her, and she'll fade back into deserved obscurity.
And the idea of that is terrifying for her.
Everything she says is projection and gaslighting
No it won't. If people let up, she won't be held accountable.
Exactly. For someone like Mercante the only thing worse than people talking about her is nobody talking about her.
I think she's saying it as a dare.
Am I the only one who reads that tweet as a passive aggressive threat. I.e. keep making those vids, see what happens.
That's totally how I read it too. Veiled threat?
That's what I saw. The (😇) reinforces it for me.
It's probably true and it was sarcastic but it's hilarious how the world is taking it and I love it
No, I read it the same wag too. I can tell when it's a passive aggressive sarcasm. She's scheming something, I'm sure jt is not dumb enough to fall for it
Her lawyer told her to STFU because it's hard to sue for "harassment" when you're repeatedly engaging with your "harassers" the way she does. The fact remains that she is a public figure though. And people *would* stop talking about her if she actually could STFU because she's nobody except a lolcow.
Don't let you're guard down!!
She didn't. She is clearly mocking gamers
Yep. In her mind anti woke proves woke is right 😂
She's likely waiting for someone to slip up while she pretends to forget all her threats she publicly made and harassment she's done, all of which has been well documented and even given to lawyers when she threatened to sue people just for talking about her
@@arostwocents "Everyone hates me? Must mean the world itself is evil and stupid then!"
Every single gaming journalist should be able to finish any Darksouls game as proof of their skill and interest. 🐿️
How the fuck is Kotaku still in business?
Could they be any more smug looking? My god, they put me clean off at a glance.
They? That’s one person. It’s a woman. (A hideous one granted, but still).
Do you think she had to go into "journo mode" (ie. no deaths/easy mode) when playing that game on her stream?
Sounds like she is threatening you. Like, “Keep talking, more ammo for me, reeeeeee!!!”
💯
The clip of her sitting with a roomful of simps would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad . . .
"Men are 90% of our customers. Let's post online and get tattoos about how much we hate them," said Alyssa and her friends, probably.
The companies these women work for will not get a single dime from me.
These people dont see they are the problem. They never will. Too far gone.
Honestly, I wouldn't believe Alyssa for a single moment. But hey, I've been wrong before.
Very hope for the best but expect the worst of you. Very smart, especially given how much back stabbing these people seem to do on a daily basis
I believe her when she said she sucked dick to get a job.
I wish I could pretend I respect them as another human being, but god damn does it get tiring that they just keep getting upset when people show them they're own proof of the things they've done and said.
"Urinalist"
Yellow Urinalism to be exact lol
She's unbalanced, give it a day and she'll contradict herself.
Sounds more like she was being passive-aggressive while thinking she is letting you make evidence for her case, except it isn’t going to go the way she expects.
Yeah.. given her track record... she's definitely looking at it as ammo for her lawsuit.
However... that is definitely NOT how most people would interpret that.
Don't drop your guard.She just change strategies to against you.
Middle class white american female ... no more context needed.
That’s clearly not a truce. She’s using it as an invitation for you to dig your own grave in her eyes.
Main question is why Kotatku keeping her ?
Also she issued a challenge, then someone step up. She chicken out.
Also like she chicken out the lawsuit
Because she's the only traffic they get.
Their reviews get no views, their analysis is worthless, they refused to make game guides
The day they fire her is the day before they go out of business.
Maybe, for Kotaku, Alyssa is the living embodiment of ‘there’s no such thing as bad publicity’.
Be cautious. Never trust what a crazy woman says.
These people NEVER EVER EVER LEARN. Nothing they say matters. Watch what they do.
That 35 year old wall comes for all of them. Then the bitterness from poor choices, and dark thoughts start oozing in.
She's implying that she's building evidence against you dude. The lawsuit is definitely going ahead. Don't celebrate yet.
But there's no legal grounds.
@@stillcantbesilencedevennow perfect
@@stillcantbesilencedevennowdumber lawsuits have reached court. Take care of yourself Smash, we care about you.
"Theyre not subscribing to the same rule, the same logic" isnt that the entire point?!
I dont think she meant it that way Smash JT. The way I read it is a very heavy sarcastic undertone behind her comment, read it again with major sarcasm in mind. " Keep making those videos " Obviously hoping that if you keep making videos eventually you will say / do something that will screw your career over, is what Alyssa is saying with this statement. Its definitely not genuine and she has not dropped her effort to stop people, she's just trying to go about it in different ways.
Come to her senses? no dude, she will try to come back at you, please don't drop your guard
You're getting set up for something. Be careful.
@Smash JT absolutely well said, I could have never said it better myself. @13:00 you expose who these people are and what their malicious intent is for this industry, offering this entire industry NOTHING of value...Mercante and her ilk wish the industry harm and they have made that evidently clear.
Grievances in political form to force a niche intolerant groups will upon the rest, the very definition of "tyranny of the minority." No Mercante, that phrase has nothing to do with superficial bigoted traits for you to scream "racist," that phrase literally means the many being forced to obey the few, which is directly in opposition to liberty and freedom, exactly why this industry has remained directly in opposition to such evil.
No Free Speech isn't back Smash. This is far from over.
Current video game industry - mostly activists and very few creatives
It doesn't matter if she "meant it" or not. She either declared it's okay to talk about her or she is GOADING everyone to. Neither will be to her benefit.
It's harder to play cry bully when you're actively coaxing people to talk about you. Somebody that doesn't want to be harassed wouldn't be antagonizing and goading the entire internet constantly... Any judge/lawyer/whatever could see that.
She’s a narcissist, she’ll (it, whatever it identifies as) will be back..if you have a case, I suggest you take it to court.
She wants to talk about accountability? That's rich.
Thank you Smash and thanks to Thomas Mahler this came back down to Earth I think. We all get upset I am glad he kept his cool.
Damn I didn’t realize how goofy that PS5 headset looks. Over priced garbage
Nothing better than plug in stereo headphones i bought 15 years ago
lol i have one and the shape is awkward but it is a bargain for headphones with planar drivers
What is that stupid fashion game she’s live streaming? Is it a Roblox game?!? How do these people get jobs in gaming when there are people who actually like to game, like gamers, and would actually write about gaming. Activists getting the enviable jobs doing what normal people love but they hate is what’s wrong with current day America. Don’t these people have actual interests of their own that is already full of people like them who like the same stuff? Why are we hiring people to do jobs in a field they hate and for people they hate?
If she wan't about hate then why is she always name calling?
There’s so much sarcasm going on I think some people are starting to miss it- JT isn’t falling for anything - she was being sarcastic - and so is he … and I’m all here for it 🍿😆👍
Another thing I don't understand, if I say something "spicy" on social media I can genuinely lose my job...
Why are some of these people able to say these things on social media and the companies they work for don't discipline or sack them...
do these companies like these people representing them as a company.
Yes.
These companies wholly endorse the statements and actions of these employees.
Keep that in mind when making your purchase decisions.
If she wants to sell bigotry, she should go the way of Ibram Kendi and Robin DiAngelo. Those grifters are doing just fine.
don't say stupid things on social media = don't get harassed. It's this simple if you cannot handle criticism.
I wouldn’t trust her as far as I can throw her. Just be careful. She doesn’t have a case, let’s keep it that way.
What are her credentials again?
Mattress Backed Prick Sheath.... Allegedly.
It was in this video, she sucks 🥒
Failed at everything e-girls do
XX chromosomes, and she is fanatical for the left. That's all you need to be a urnalist now a days.
Amateur cam girl
The saddest pat about the whole situation is these woke devs and SBI type game consultants push to develop games for a "modern audience". Yet when these games come to market, the modern audience is nowhere to be found to make the games best sellers. Where were they to put their money where their mouths are for Star Wars Outlaws, Concord, The Suicide Squad Killes the Justice League? Why didn't they show up to buy and play these games that were developed for them? Then to see them take out their frustrations because the original fans of a game franchise aren't supporting their efforts since some in the industry have said those types of games aren't made for them.We're expected to continue to support a market that goes against our wishes and ruins the IP we played a role in making successful, I don't think so!
It’s also funny how they try to label anyone that disagrees with them as part of some “wing”. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE DOESN’T AGREE WITH YOU DOESN’T MAKE THEM PART OF SOME WING. NOT EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL, LUNATICS.
Could be a coincidence this happened when Chris Kindred was fired. I'm a little suspicious. We need to keep our guards up, and always "Look underneath the underneath."
That Black Panther game is gonna be interesting, to say the least. It seems like half the wokies in the industry are working on it.
I'm still waiting for her to man up for that fight she challenged anyone to, man or woman she never specified and she thinks it's interchangeable anyways.
