I bet he plagiarized every homework and test answers even far back as kindergarten. That’s right, not far back as elementary school, but all the way to kindergarten, that’s probably how far back he goes. And not once he got caught, until his IGN review that is.
Forgetting about him would be the best thing to happen to him. So why the heck did he make another Dead Cells review and reminded everyone... One facepalm isn't enough with this man
A friend of mine once said: "I'm always ready to give people as many chances as they need. If they need a thousand chances, they get a thousand chances. But because I'm not an idiot, only the first chance is for free. The rest you gotta earn."
Exactly my mantra as well, and some people have had a very high price put on these. Surprisingly, a handful of them actually earned it and succeeded in making things right
Well... If they're gonna need thousand chances, it just means that the person isn't ever gonna change. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. So yeah, in the end, problem isn't the person asking for thousand chances, it's the person that gives them. Even if the person makes to "earn" them.
@@LoganHunter82 and thats fine. Everyone is different. If you're one to cut ties, thats okay, you can spare yourself a lot of headache and heartache, but not everyone is like that and is willing to see of someone can change their past ways. Some people change, some people never change.
@@LoganHunter82 I mean, take someone like Zuko from Avatar. That's an example of someone needing a thousand chances and at some point it *finally* stuck, and it does indeed show the consequence of coming back after that many, it SHOULD be a borderline impossible task that would break the weak-willed. So yes, it's possible in my opinion for someone to have that...if they realize how exponentially harder each chance becomes. However, I'm not saying everyone has to do this, it's just my take. And Filip in this case...at some point you just gotta give up and accept there's no realistic way he's coming back from this if he doubles down for this long.
@Popedxout What they're saying is "I know your comment is referring to the topic of the video, but I found it profound and it applies to me and my life, thank you, I needed that"
When seeing the video I couldn't help but feel bad for the few people who did like his tweets. He has manipulated them with all these key words acting as if he's actually trying to be better. He's not
@@CoOlKyUbI96 I feel like between social media and a good portion of the world being run by (small PP) strongmen right now, society is actually enabling narcissists as well as encouraging otherwise-healthy people to act like narcissists and not learn how to take responsibility, too. It’s going to be a struggle to convince people to stop making Internet discourse more toxic than it already is by playing the victim and blaming “cancel culture” for everything as opposed to just apologizing and making it easier for everyone to move on. Not saying cancel culture isn’t a problem at times, but imagine how many culture wars we could avoid if the accused at least said “I’m sorry” and explained their point of view calmly instead of adding fuel to the fire...
@@JeffreyThrash I agree. And maybe I'm projecting a bit, but I also feel like part of the issue is because some people are a bit too wrapped up in the idea that "no one is perfect" and forgiveness is key. While it is certainly true that no one is perfect and forgiveness is important, it should be within reason. Yeah it's a good trait to be able to forgive people, but one should also learn to be assertive. Don't be mean about it, but don't allow people to make a fool out of you. And it's one thing to excuse someone's behavior as "no one is perfect" when making a mistake or when giving your all in something and falling short. But one doesn't have that excuse if they frequently made the same disrespectful decision (which after a while he must have known what he was doing) AND also trying to act like they're taking the moral high ground
I feel like social media is dangerous to anyone with a mental illness, particularly depression. There doesn’t seem to a way to have this discussion about whether even neurotypical people should be allowed to constantly spout their opinions on social media without causing a Constitutional crisis with the First Amendment, though...
He will get over it. I know journalists get a lot of shit when it comes to covering games because of corporate writing or whatever but plagarising is a no no. It disrespects the journalists and not just game reviewers in general that put the effort in to research what they are writing, reporting, and reviewing. I'm sorry maybe I would be more in favor of this guy getting a second chance IF he shows hes learned from his mistakes but it doesn't look to be the case.
You kinda have to admire his perseverance. At this point any sane person would accept the bridge is burnt and go do something else. But not him. He shoots himself in the foot three times, and goes rightback to the gunshop for round four.
"I'm sorry it took so long to post this updated review of Dead Cells. I've had to scour the internet and perform literally thousands of hours of research in order to find a RUclipsr who reviewed the game but has since died so that I wouldn't get caught again. Enjoy."
Lol, I have no idea who he is. But from what I understand, he was a working stiff, who did the bare minimum in his job just for the paycheck. That is like 90% of the population. Don't blame him. just let the guy make dumb youtube videos, lol. No need for an entire industry to dogpile on him.
@@NekoKujo6785 Except they don't. What do you think most people do in their spare time, to make up for daily frustrations and make themselves feel good? Hating on other people, that's what. Be it through complaining, trashtalking, bragging, bullying or witch hunting. People just want to ruin and destroy others and feel good about it. Dominance feels good. Having other people at your mercy feels good. No wonder people run rampant with it, if you give them the chance. (Of course, there are exceptions. But still...)
"I'm sorry I plagiarized the review of Dead Cells, Boomstick Gaming has every right to utterly hate me right now. To my colleagues at IGN, I'm so sorry I've caused so much hassle and trouble for the company, the damage I've done is irreversible. To my fans, I'm so sorry I've let you down, I take full responsibility and am working on myself everyday to do better by my craft.".....If he would've just said this then he'd be fine right now, I swear saying I'm sorry is this guy's kryptonite.

About a week ago I suddenly remembered about this guy, I don't know why. I wondered how could he start all over again since his reputation is inexorably tainted forever. I guess he just won't learn his lesson and he's too stubborn to give up on this idiotic tirade.
Did this man really return to Dead Cells to give a "new" review of the game? Why would he do that? He should know by now that literally nobody cares about his opinion, especially on Dead Cells of all games.
He seems to think he can wipe the past by rewriting it. Which makes me wonder a lot about his past as it sounds like either a. many cover ups were done for him, so he thinks it's normal or b. he's a spoilt brat that things he's smarter than everyone. He's not.
He's playing the bad guy and taking rage bait to it's logical conclusion, anything for clicks. At least, that's what I hope he's doing, otherwise he's just so socially inept he's gonna struggle to get anywhere in life.
Seems like a weird kind of hail mary pass, maybe? Some weird attempt at redeeming himself by reviewing the game that started it off? He's trying, but it's cringey.
he did it because he never bothered to play it the first time, hence the plagiarism, so decided "hmm ill actually play it and review it, that'll be good!"
@@leviathan5392 oof only apologized because he got caught. And even then, it was only after a long time of him just trying to ignore the accusations and hoping people will forget about it. But I do agree his life shouldn't be ruined.
I think the most hilarious part was him challenging people to find other pieces of his work to see if they were plagiarized...the internet came together and cancelled his ass.
"They are coming to my twitter and sending waves of hate. For what? For something I am repeatedly attempting to repent for." What this tells me is that he has never learned about forgiveness and the fact that he has little to no control here. Forgiveness is not something you are owed when you repent, it is something that is offered to you, which is what should make one ever more thankful when they are forgiven. That may be how it works for those who are naive, but not your average person. Some may never forgive, but it is not the place of the guilty to judge. If he plans on staying in this kind of business, he should focus on the fanbase he has instead of the hatred he has earned for himself. This is the kind of thing that will take 5-10 years of repeatedly turning the other cheek and doing his best to demonstrate that he's moved on from the incident he caused, and the bitterness he clearly still holds over it, before things start to clear up. He still has a long way to go before he's learned his lesson by the looks of things. Hopefully he gets there in the end.
Excellent point about how forgiveness works. Point would stand without the 'religious and naive' strawman. I'm not religious, haven't been for decades. Drawing up some monolithic caricature of religious people, and then claiming they aren't 'your average person' is an angle that adds nothing to your points and undermines your credibility with those that understand that: a) many average people are religious. b) many religious people know that forgiveness is not a right. Sometimes less is more. In this case your irrelevant swipe at the 'not average and naive' religious people is something floating in a punch bowl. Without that throw away line, your mention of 'turning the other cheek' (which is part of Jesus' Sermon of the Mount as an alternative to an 'eye for an eye') wouldn't land as totally discordant.
@@Muskoheim I didn't say that to disparage, though you are right that I shouldn't separate them from "your average person" (It seems to me that the average populace are becoming increasingly atheistic, but it is improper of me to assume they are the majority when I don't know that for sure). All I meant by that is that they are probably more likely to believe that, so long as one repents, their god of choice will forgive them when they die. I also didn't mean that all religious people are naive, I was saying that naive people are another category of person that might forgive too readily. Of course, that's just my opinion. I'm not nor can I be the arbiter of when and how much a person should be forgiven. Well, that's the reasoning I wrote it with anyway. I did actually think that I should remove or modify that part as I was making the comment. Usually I'd leave it there for posterity, but since I was thinking about changing it as I made the comment originally, and I agree that it doesn't have much place in the rest of my point, I'll change it a bit. Edit: The irony was not lost on me either, I'm aware that "turn the other cheek" is a reference to Jesus' sermon. Thanks for correcting my mistake by the way. Again, I didn't feel right about that little part even at the time, I guess I was just too tired or distracted to think to change it back then.
Remember commenting on his Bayonetta 2 review confused because he had mentioned on NVC that he famously had never played the Wii-U like a week earlier - yet mentioned and compared the game to the Wii-U one during his review of the sequel. He replied within one minute explaining that a coworker lent him the console and game.. If he got cut he would bleed dishonesty.
He seems like the type who just auto-generates lies on the fly for any situation, lol. The fact that he replied to a random comment like that within *one minute* also reeks of insecurity (likely insecurity over being caught out over said lies.)
In his Metroid 2 Return of Samsu the reason people found out he took it from somewhere else is becsuse the original review have a typo, it says the wrong button and of course he have the same typo in his review
His little "jab" at himself felt less like an admission of guilt and more of a: "Oops, I did naughty ting." *Slaps own wrist. He's still clearly not sorry about what he did, he's sorry he got caught.
That term "sorry he got caught" gets a lot of use, but I'm not sure it really applies. He's frustrated that getting caught still has consequences. Some would consider that this makes sense in a legal way; once a case is processed, the wrongs should be compensated. But the fact of the matter is that he ruined his credibility and now returns to the same field ripping up the upset; he should learn to let sleeping dogs lie.

Personally, considering the severity of his plagiarism and the sheer abundance of it, I wouldn't give him a second change even he paid me to. At this point, I wouldn't trust his opinion on a ham sandwich. He needs to find a new industry and go away.
Yeah, plagiarism is an incredibly sever ethical offense, and subject to copyright infringement. He could have gotten IGN sued, gotten his own goddamn employers sued, and he's making jokes about it. And then acts like he has any semblance of the high ground? The extent of his ignorance is astounding.
tbh, how angry people get over plagiarism confuses me. The people that taco bell got their tortilla recipe from are just "Oh, well I guess they did us better. That's fine.". Meanwhile people are going ballistic over a copied article.
@@blacklightredlight2945 because writing and reviewing is work, and if you copy from someone else, you are not doing your own work while claiming you did. It's not like stealing a loaf of bread, but there is equivalency. You do it once, it's bad. You do it multiple times, you are basically collecting a paycheck for doing no work of your own, while drawing eyeballs away from the ones who did the work.
@@blacklightredlight2945 It was more than one copied article. People went through his work and found a whole bunch of copied articles and videos in his entire body of work. He was just trying to cash in on the work of other people and he doesn't deserve to have a job in game journalism.
"I'm not picking fights. I'm standing up for myself and the right to make videos about something I love, video games. I simply would like the opportunity to do that." This one bugged me a lot. Filip already had the opportunity to make videos about video games, and apparently didn't love it very much considering a lot of it was plagiarized. He needs to accept that acting the way he is now is not going to help him at all, and people are giving him crap because he squandered his original opportunity in the worst way possible. I'm glad it was brought up that that gets you expelled in college, because it takes away from it being just 'a mistake'; it's one of the biggest things NOT to do in journalism that everyone with common sense understands.
If all he wanted to do was to talk about what he loves... Why didn't he talk about ANY OTHER game? Why talk about a game that's two years old and is intrinsically tied to his bad reputation?
Y’know, there’s an incredibly simple solution to this if he really wants to keep uploading and editing videos on RUclips. START OVER. Make a new channel with no ties to your older one, don’t appear on camera, and mask your voice (or better yet, have someone else read from your script) when doing voice-over. You could even do like that RUclips creator Arlo and have some weird Sesame-Street-looking puppet or character. The simple fact that you still insist on putting yourself out there on camera despite all the negativity towards you proves you’re just a massive narcissist who has no sense and just wants ANY kind of attention.
Agreed. I feel that reviewing the game that got him caught and caused major problems for the reputation of his former employer IS picking a fight. He clearly did it for the drama and added attention, not for honest reasons.
@@Vesperitis I'm not sure. It's possible that he was trying to make himself relevant again, or he thought bringing it up again and addressing it would somehow fix what he did. It was a stupid move no matter what way it's looked at though, I dunno what he thought was going to happen. All he did was bring more bad attention to himself by re-doing the Dead Cells review.
@@jaythomas468 That's a good point! There's still plenty of different types of videos and careers that he could do that sill involve video games if he'd just start over and change it up a bit. The fact he won't change his angle at ALL and still expects to be let back in even though he plagiarized his past work, shows how little he actually cares about his craft. I agree that it does sound very narcissistic.
@@alecday3775 ah riggt the whole American politics stuff. I have many opinions on that, but I'm not American and I feel I wont be listened to anyways as for some reason anyways. Even the so called left wing Americans are just righties in disguise appealing to get left votes
The best thing about this prick, is that he shone a light on Boomstick Gaming - its a great one man channel that does fantastic and to the point coverage of games and their systems. Its legit one of the channels i'm most interested in hearing the opinion of these days lol.
He wears his plagiarism like a badge of honor. Like "oh man I'm a bad boy but the world has forgiven me." Except it hasn't; not by a long shot. And he responds to "haters" by starting flame wars like the hate is in any way undeserved.
Before anyone posts the generic BS response I've been seeing everywhere of, "He made a mistake. We are all entitled to making a mistake from time to time." please just save it. He didn't make "A" mistake, he knew what he was doing while he plagiarized for over half a decade for profit.
Then took an entire year of 'things not going his way' (because i doubt it was mental preparation that caused that delay) to make an actual apology video. Then he disappears, only to come back a while later expecting a proper Dead Cells review to clear the slate and is already complaining within that very review about how he can't take any more negativity.
@@nfzeta128 Exactly. Then immediately proves that the humble tone he had in his new Dead Cells review was complete BS by crying victim and attacking anyone either not on board with his return or people having a distaste towards his attempt to be meta about his own plagiarism.
@@ThoughTMusic I mean it's something that another commentor really enlightened me on; really how much of that video was an actual review, and not just talking/joking about the controversy around it?
I’d be very much interested in a psychological profile of Philip. He seems to show a lot of sociopathic tendencies and complete disregard and carelessness for anything he’s done wrong.
It's actually not a very interesting profile. He doesn't have any mental illnesses to speak of, at least according to the DSM5. The whole profile is just two words, "massive prick."
I’d say more like a being who is 1 second old. Fillip needs help, but is so egotistical and what not to seek help. It’s really pathetic. If I was his former boss, I probably would have tweeted ***k off too to be honest. Or at the very least something similar to that.
It's a thief coming back and acting like the victim. "I don't know how much negativity I can take" Oh poor him, how sad that he had to reap what he sowed. How sad that people see him as a thief now.. after stealing. Give me a break. -_-

Terrible analogy, Filip wasn't giving it to IGN or anything. He covered a game and made a joke about his past, and someone at IGN decided to start shit with him by telling him to 'fuck off'. Why? This IGN guy didn't have to say anything. He is then completely within his right to defend himself, and then people are against him for it.
@@daman8492 He is the one who started the shit himself. Filip Miucin - Dead Cells - IGN are interconnected. There is no way in hell that he could post something like a review of Dead Cells specifically (calling in "honest" and "original") and then joking about his plagiarism without directly referring to or involving IGN. He could have chosen some other game, but no, he chose the one that caused tumult to IGN so of course someone at IGN is going be upset. How are you even defending this guy? He took the solid advice given to him out of concern, something he should have been grateful for since it was someone hoping he gets a second chance, and then turned it into a personal attack. He has no defense.
Dude was caught, and acting like he's some type of victim. Also, he jokes in the new review, on the SAME game he stole his review for, about plagiarism...this guy is a clown. He's arrogant, trying to profit from his own dumb decision, and taking no real responsibility. He needs to find a new line of work.
@@johnderat2652 Are you sure about that? I mean, looking at how he has acted thus far I 100% believe that he will plagiarize again as soon as he thinks he can get away with it.
@@johnderat2652 That someone who is unrepentant over a misdeed will repeat that misdeed? That is basically text book, because it is a huge indicator that the person in question don't really think that he did anything wrong. This is further supported by his attempts at painting himself as the victim.
Except he is repentant ? as proved with him making original videos and also making fun of himself, and making another review on dead cells ? And he also deserves a second chance, like anyone.
a friend of mine made a good comparison, a journalist that plagarizes is akin to an athlete doping. No matter what you do after you are caught, you will forever be tainted.
A person with narcissism is extremely difficult, borderline impossible to deal with. I've had two people in my life with narcissism that I really cared about but had to sever ties with them do to this affliction. Filip Miucin has let his narcissism destroy many parts his life, and career. The sad thing is he can't understand why, due to his affliction.
Your comment got me thinking "When did I discover Yong and sub to him?" And oh my god I feel old... Anyone here remember a little video series by the name of 'The Survivor 2299'? Back then Yong didn't even have camera. Man I'm so proud of how far he's come. He's one of the best people *for all things gaming news, reviews, and discussions* on the entire internet. And i plan to stay tuned for many years to come.
I don’t feel sorry for Mucin, I don’t feel sorry for IGN, I feel sorry for the developers of Dead Cells who’s game is yet again involved in controversy that has absolutely nothing to do with them. Mucin yet again has dragged Motion Twin through the mud with him, whatever empathy I may have had for him has gone for this one fact alone.
Wouldn't go as far as to call it controversy. To put it in an apology, you think Ford cares when a drunk driver slams into an innocent driver? There's only so many things you can control.
"I got lazy and arrogant and used shortcuts and disrespected people who worked harder than I did by copying their reviews and I wholeheartedly apologise and will never do this again" ... was that so hard Miucin?
You certainly don't get that but that IGN employee never cared about Filip. All he did was to try to dissuade Filip without actually trying to help him, instead. All the time Filip took between his plagiarism and his return the IGN employee never bothered to check on him, nor to offer any help or guidance to have a better life and only bothered to "help" after Filip made the decision to return to make reviews, not bothering to understand what kind of help Filip needed first. That is the worst kind of support someone can give to another, but the IGN employee was lucky Filip was dumb enough to "jump the gun" and expose the message before privately replying to him and waiting for a response, thus Filip was backfired. But the truth is nobody is willing to forgive Filip Miucin no matter what he does. Not even dying wpulg help t orestore Filip's reputation.
It just goes to show his final apology wasn’t genuine and his “I can’t the negativity” was to get people to be negative towards him so he gets into headlines again. He’s the classic “but I said the words, now I have to mean them?” His clap backs just go to show that he literally hasn’t changed and is still not taking any real responsibility for his actions. Most people who play victim will also say “I’m not playing the victim, I’m just stating facts.” That statement is, in itself, playing the victim. Filip just needs to grow up and learn he doesn’t get his way. He is the living definition of self entitled privileged.
Well he is fucking clueless isn't he. What kind person tries to continue in the one field they should never even consider working in, suggests he's totally unaware.
"this review, and every review i make hereon out, will always be a very honest original review"... Breh... that's the bare minimum for an elementary school written assignment!
“I find it fascinating that” has rapidly become the internet’s personal “I’m not a bigot, but”. You just KNOW that they’re about to say something asshole-esque
Hearing the “negativity” part, I felt an obligation to lay a pretty negative comment on this clown in that new video. Filip doesn’t deserve any pity, let alone a “second chance”.
NovemberZulu 118 actually, it got deleted. Wasn’t anything like a death threat (I’m not THAT childish) but it was me telling him that he had no right to post that video and act the way he did to his former employers, and that he is irredeemable in the eyes of any self-respecting journalist and people like me that enjoy reviews and news updates from good individuals like Yong here. Plagiarism is a cardinal sin in written work of ANY kind, and Filip deserves all the consequences that come with it.
@@lando-z4534 Friend, the best way you can be a bigger person than Filip is to ignore him and not give him the attention he wants. Don't jump into the ugly pool with him.
Vesperitis true enough, it’s advice to remember. Thanks friend. People like him only stay around because they feed off of people’s anger and frustration. Once they’re forgotten, they will cease to have meaning. So hopefully IGN, Boomstick and the rest of us can just forget this dude.
YongYeah I just have to say I love your content. You're always level headed even when you're frustrated/upset at something, and you articulate your points very well. It's something I can appreciate in an age of youtubers screaming at me with over-saturated colors in their thumbnails
Not only his action, his very character is in question here. The way he reacted just confirms he has not repented. This is the sort of behaviour that led to his downfall in the first place.
It's not even career back, because if he truly wanted he could just make a new channel with no ties to his current channel. No he just wishes he could load his quick save only to find it had been corrupted.
The fact that he feels he is being treated unfairly means he does NOT understand what he did. Every profession has a line you do not cross and in journalism that line is plagarism. That will ALWAYS be a stain on his reputation.
If you think Twitter isn't neutral, what do you think it would need to be like in order to be neutral? Be a neutral party? Allow everything to be posted? Block all politics? Have positive and negative opinions in equal measure?
This is like working in a restaurant, randomly spitting in people's food, and expecting to keep working after you get caught. There are things that you just don't do, and the fact that he keeps trying to come back shows he doesn't understand the severity of what he did.
This would go way beyond spitting. I would liken it more to dropping his pants, taking a big ol' dump in someones soup, brining it to the table and saying "Bon apetit, bitch".
Honestly I don't think plagiarism killed his career. He could've easily salvaged at least some respect if he immediately apologized and owned up to everything, if he didn't lie and cover up the fact that he plagiarized, if he didn't bring it up more than a year later to give a "genuine" apology and if he didn't try to come back by reviewing Dead Cells again. He wonders why he wasn't given a 2nd chance by most people, that's why
@@NCozy _Maybe_ (and that's a big maybe) if it was a _one time thing_ and he came across as genuinely sorry the instant he was caught... but this was repeated behavior. This was how he made his content. Most of it was plagiarized from one place or another it would seem. There is no returning from that, nor should there be imho.
@@Cimlite I understand that a lot of people wouldn't be able to forgive him for what he did. What I'm saying is that if he handled the situation better he could've more easily came back to RUclips and there would be a lot of people who would be more willing to forgive him. Instead he makes mistake after mistake, each one he makes he digs himself further down making it harder and harder for him to ever be taken seriously ever again.

@@2senwolfgirl Yeah, in some circumstances it can be, and given how Filip Miucin made his entire career from stealing other people's content, he was lucky he was just fired.

life is a quick flash in the pan and then you die. The years will get exponentially quicker. Your past will seem to have happened in far less time as well. 80 years becomes tomorrow and yesterday all at once. Lambs to the cosmic slaughter! lol It's true though.
I know this is completely off but a lot of what you said Yong actually hit me man. Especially with a relationship with someone that was once a very good friend of mine. We kept going back to a bridge we burnt and this last time I burnt it due to how fed up I was with how toxic that person was to me. Completely off topic but a lot of what you had to say to that honestly is something I needed to hear as a person and to grow to become a better person. Thanks man.
He isn't getting my direct interaction in any way. I feel he's doing this for the sake of playing victim through and through. Grand standing to pretend he has a spine when its purely ego. He won't improve, grow or learn his lesson at this rate.
I'm down for giving people second chances, but not when they have such an awful and unrepentant attitude after fucking up so badly.

You tell em dad!
This is what the world called “Narcissism”. Its an disorder where they lack of empathy towards other.
Filip Miucin: "I understand plagiarism."
Of course you do, you wrote the book on it..... or at least copied the work of the person who wrote it.
I bet he plagiarized every homework and test answers even far back as kindergarten. That’s right, not far back as elementary school, but all the way to kindergarten, that’s probably how far back he goes. And not once he got caught, until his IGN review that is.
haha my man
big oof
I'm going to steal that joke.
@@whitewolf3051 I mean if he's literally plagiarized his own resume, who knows how deep the rabbit hole goes lol
I legitimately almost forgot about this guy.
NinjaPid , thank god , we all remember you :))
Forgetting about him would be the best thing to happen to him. So why the heck did he make another Dead Cells review and reminded everyone... One facepalm isn't enough with this man
So close and yet so far
I didn't know his existence until this moment
I completely forgot.
A friend of mine once said: "I'm always ready to give people as many chances as they need. If they need a thousand chances, they get a thousand chances. But because I'm not an idiot, only the first chance is for free. The rest you gotta earn."
Exactly my mantra as well, and some people have had a very high price put on these. Surprisingly, a handful of them actually earned it and succeeded in making things right
Well... If they're gonna need thousand chances, it just means that the person isn't ever gonna change. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
So yeah, in the end, problem isn't the person asking for thousand chances, it's the person that gives them. Even if the person makes to "earn" them.
@@LoganHunter82 and thats fine. Everyone is different. If you're one to cut ties, thats okay, you can spare yourself a lot of headache and heartache, but not everyone is like that and is willing to see of someone can change their past ways.
Some people change, some people never change.
@@LoganHunter82 I mean, take someone like Zuko from Avatar. That's an example of someone needing a thousand chances and at some point it *finally* stuck, and it does indeed show the consequence of coming back after that many, it SHOULD be a borderline impossible task that would break the weak-willed.
So yes, it's possible in my opinion for someone to have that...if they realize how exponentially harder each chance becomes.
However, I'm not saying everyone has to do this, it's just my take. And Filip in this case...at some point you just gotta give up and accept there's no realistic way he's coming back from this if he doubles down for this long.
@@UltimaKeyMaster That's a cartoon... It's fiction. It happened only because the plot needed it. IN A FANTASY WORLD!

@@xAl9080x It's actually a famous quote but it's famous for a reason.
Hence the quotation marks.
@Popedxout I think you misunderstood what he meant
Very true. Plus, starting a new chapter can be exciting!
@Popedxout What they're saying is "I know your comment is referring to the topic of the video, but I found it profound and it applies to me and my life, thank you, I needed that"
He is a narcissist. Not in the way that most people think, but in the real, psychological sense.
Yeah reminds me of all those r-slash reddit horror stories about narcissist parents and children, except he has a platform.
Actually pretty on point.
When seeing the video I couldn't help but feel bad for the few people who did like his tweets. He has manipulated them with all these key words acting as if he's actually trying to be better. He's not
@@CoOlKyUbI96 I feel like between social media and a good portion of the world being run by (small PP) strongmen right now, society is actually enabling narcissists as well as encouraging otherwise-healthy people to act like narcissists and not learn how to take responsibility, too. It’s going to be a struggle to convince people to stop making Internet discourse more toxic than it already is by playing the victim and blaming “cancel culture” for everything as opposed to just apologizing and making it easier for everyone to move on.
Not saying cancel culture isn’t a problem at times, but imagine how many culture wars we could avoid if the accused at least said “I’m sorry” and explained their point of view calmly instead of adding fuel to the fire...
@@JeffreyThrash I agree. And maybe I'm projecting a bit, but I also feel like part of the issue is because some people are a bit too wrapped up in the idea that "no one is perfect" and forgiveness is key. While it is certainly true that no one is perfect and forgiveness is important, it should be within reason. Yeah it's a good trait to be able to forgive people, but one should also learn to be assertive. Don't be mean about it, but don't allow people to make a fool out of you. And it's one thing to excuse someone's behavior as "no one is perfect" when making a mistake or when giving your all in something and falling short. But one doesn't have that excuse if they frequently made the same disrespectful decision (which after a while he must have known what he was doing) AND also trying to act like they're taking the moral high ground
After seeing his twitter I'm convinced Filip has some sort of narcissistic personality disorder. Dude needs serious mental health help.
The way he talks in his review and even his tone of voice was a big give away
He probably still believes he didn't do any wrong.
It reminds me of Boogie; plays victim, disingenuous apologies, and wanting public attention by feeding self imposed negativity.
You're absolutely right.
I feel like social media is dangerous to anyone with a mental illness, particularly depression. There doesn’t seem to a way to have this discussion about whether even neurotypical people should be allowed to constantly spout their opinions on social media without causing a Constitutional crisis with the First Amendment, though...

He will get over it. I know journalists get a lot of shit when it comes to covering games because of corporate writing or whatever but plagarising is a no no. It disrespects the journalists and not just game reviewers in general that put the effort in to research what they are writing, reporting, and reviewing. I'm sorry maybe I would be more in favor of this guy getting a second chance IF he shows hes learned from his mistakes but it doesn't look to be the case.

About a week ago I suddenly remembered about this guy, I don't know why. I wondered how could he start all over again since his reputation is inexorably tainted forever.
I guess he just won't learn his lesson and he's too stubborn to give up on this idiotic tirade.
Dude same thing for me
Holy crap my husband and I were randomly talking about him just last week! We must have felt something in the air.
Same thing happened to me.
What lesson should he learn exactly?

Yep. This is the problem people have with all his videos and responses. That's exactly the message that's coming across.
s/move on/start again/
Did this man really return to Dead Cells to give a "new" review of the game? Why would he do that?
He should know by now that literally nobody cares about his opinion, especially on Dead Cells of all games.
He seems to think he can wipe the past by rewriting it. Which makes me wonder a lot about his past as it sounds like either a. many cover ups were done for him, so he thinks it's normal or b. he's a spoilt brat that things he's smarter than everyone. He's not.
He's playing the bad guy and taking rage bait to it's logical conclusion, anything for clicks.
At least, that's what I hope he's doing, otherwise he's just so socially inept he's gonna struggle to get anywhere in life.
Seems like a weird kind of hail mary pass, maybe? Some weird attempt at redeeming himself by reviewing the game that started it off?
He's trying, but it's cringey.
he did it because he never bothered to play it the first time, hence the plagiarism, so decided "hmm ill actually play it and review it, that'll be good!"
@@leviathan5392 oof only apologized because he got caught. And even then, it was only after a long time of him just trying to ignore the accusations and hoping people will forget about it. But I do agree his life shouldn't be ruined.
I think the most hilarious part was him challenging people to find other pieces of his work to see if they were plagiarized...the internet came together and cancelled his ass.
"They are coming to my twitter and sending waves of hate. For what? For something I am repeatedly attempting to repent for."
What this tells me is that he has never learned about forgiveness and the fact that he has little to no control here. Forgiveness is not something you are owed when you repent, it is something that is offered to you, which is what should make one ever more thankful when they are forgiven. That may be how it works for those who are naive, but not your average person. Some may never forgive, but it is not the place of the guilty to judge. If he plans on staying in this kind of business, he should focus on the fanbase he has instead of the hatred he has earned for himself. This is the kind of thing that will take 5-10 years of repeatedly turning the other cheek and doing his best to demonstrate that he's moved on from the incident he caused, and the bitterness he clearly still holds over it, before things start to clear up. He still has a long way to go before he's learned his lesson by the looks of things. Hopefully he gets there in the end.
A very underrated comment, this.
Well said Neostrius, well said.
Lack of true remorse.
Excellent point about how forgiveness works. Point would stand without the 'religious and naive' strawman. I'm not religious, haven't been for decades. Drawing up some monolithic caricature of religious people, and then claiming they aren't 'your average person' is an angle that adds nothing to your points and undermines your credibility with those that understand that: a) many average people are religious. b) many religious people know that forgiveness is not a right. Sometimes less is more. In this case your irrelevant swipe at the 'not average and naive' religious people is something floating in a punch bowl. Without that throw away line, your mention of 'turning the other cheek' (which is part of Jesus' Sermon of the Mount as an alternative to an 'eye for an eye') wouldn't land as totally discordant.
@@Muskoheim I didn't say that to disparage, though you are right that I shouldn't separate them from "your average person" (It seems to me that the average populace are becoming increasingly atheistic, but it is improper of me to assume they are the majority when I don't know that for sure). All I meant by that is that they are probably more likely to believe that, so long as one repents, their god of choice will forgive them when they die. I also didn't mean that all religious people are naive, I was saying that naive people are another category of person that might forgive too readily. Of course, that's just my opinion. I'm not nor can I be the arbiter of when and how much a person should be forgiven.
Well, that's the reasoning I wrote it with anyway. I did actually think that I should remove or modify that part as I was making the comment. Usually I'd leave it there for posterity, but since I was thinking about changing it as I made the comment originally, and I agree that it doesn't have much place in the rest of my point, I'll change it a bit. Edit: The irony was not lost on me either, I'm aware that "turn the other cheek" is a reference to Jesus' sermon. Thanks for correcting my mistake by the way. Again, I didn't feel right about that little part even at the time, I guess I was just too tired or distracted to think to change it back then.
Remember commenting on his Bayonetta 2 review confused because he had mentioned on NVC that he famously had never played the Wii-U like a week earlier - yet mentioned and compared the game to the Wii-U one during his review of the sequel. He replied within one minute explaining that a coworker lent him the console and game.. If he got cut he would bleed dishonesty.
He seems like the type who just auto-generates lies on the fly for any situation, lol. The fact that he replied to a random comment like that within *one minute* also reeks of insecurity (likely insecurity over being caught out over said lies.)
In his Metroid 2 Return of Samsu the reason people found out he took it from somewhere else is becsuse the original review have a typo, it says the wrong button and of course he have the same typo in his review
Filip: when people think of "Filip Miucin", they think of "confirmed, unrepentant plagiarist".
*We're never going to let you forget that.*

His little "jab" at himself felt less like an admission of guilt and more of a: "Oops, I did naughty ting." *Slaps own wrist.
He's still clearly not sorry about what he did, he's sorry he got caught.
Or more like a "Oops, I got caught!" 😅
That term "sorry he got caught" gets a lot of use, but I'm not sure it really applies. He's frustrated that getting caught still has consequences. Some would consider that this makes sense in a legal way; once a case is processed, the wrongs should be compensated. But the fact of the matter is that he ruined his credibility and now returns to the same field ripping up the upset; he should learn to let sleeping dogs lie.

You should write a book dude. Or at least short stories.
Personally, considering the severity of his plagiarism and the sheer abundance of it, I wouldn't give him a second change even he paid me to. At this point, I wouldn't trust his opinion on a ham sandwich. He needs to find a new industry and go away.
He has no career anymore...... He's gotta go end up in retail at this point........
Yeah, plagiarism is an incredibly sever ethical offense, and subject to copyright infringement. He could have gotten IGN sued, gotten his own goddamn employers sued, and he's making jokes about it. And then acts like he has any semblance of the high ground? The extent of his ignorance is astounding.

"I'm not picking fights. I'm standing up for myself and the right to make videos about something I love, video games. I simply would like the opportunity to do that."
This one bugged me a lot. Filip already had the opportunity to make videos about video games, and apparently didn't love it very much considering a lot of it was plagiarized. He needs to accept that acting the way he is now is not going to help him at all, and people are giving him crap because he squandered his original opportunity in the worst way possible. I'm glad it was brought up that that gets you expelled in college, because it takes away from it being just 'a mistake'; it's one of the biggest things NOT to do in journalism that everyone with common sense understands.
If all he wanted to do was to talk about what he loves... Why didn't he talk about ANY OTHER game? Why talk about a game that's two years old and is intrinsically tied to his bad reputation?
Y’know, there’s an incredibly simple solution to this if he really wants to keep uploading and editing videos on RUclips.
START OVER. Make a new channel with no ties to your older one, don’t appear on camera, and mask your voice (or better yet, have someone else read from your script) when doing voice-over. You could even do like that RUclips creator Arlo and have some weird Sesame-Street-looking puppet or character.
The simple fact that you still insist on putting yourself out there on camera despite all the negativity towards you proves you’re just a massive narcissist who has no sense and just wants ANY kind of attention.
Agreed. I feel that reviewing the game that got him caught and caused major problems for the reputation of his former employer IS picking a fight. He clearly did it for the drama and added attention, not for honest reasons.
@@Vesperitis I'm not sure. It's possible that he was trying to make himself relevant again, or he thought bringing it up again and addressing it would somehow fix what he did. It was a stupid move no matter what way it's looked at though, I dunno what he thought was going to happen. All he did was bring more bad attention to himself by re-doing the Dead Cells review.
@@jaythomas468 That's a good point! There's still plenty of different types of videos and careers that he could do that sill involve video games if he'd just start over and change it up a bit.

Then took an entire year of 'things not going his way' (because i doubt it was mental preparation that caused that delay) to make an actual apology video. Then he disappears, only to come back a while later expecting a proper Dead Cells review to clear the slate and is already complaining within that very review about how he can't take any more negativity.
@@nfzeta128 Exactly. Then immediately proves that the humble tone he had in his new Dead Cells review was complete BS by crying victim and attacking anyone either not on board with his return or people having a distaste towards his attempt to be meta about his own plagiarism.
@@ThoughTMusic I mean it's something that another commentor really enlightened me on; really how much of that video was an actual review, and not just talking/joking about the controversy around it?
I’d be very much interested in a psychological profile of Philip. He seems to show a lot of sociopathic tendencies and complete disregard and carelessness for anything he’s done wrong.
Reminds me of Andy Pitchford.
He's just a narcissist
It's actually not a very interesting profile. He doesn't have any mental illnesses to speak of, at least according to the DSM5. The whole profile is just two words, "massive prick."
Mitchell Saltzman: Gives reasonable advice to Fillip about moving on and becoming a better person
Fillip: Takes offense to that like a 3 year old
Even worse, tries to validate his offense by attempting to 'expose' the person as some kind of hypocrite. Thereby proving he has no self-awareness.
I’d say more like a being who is 1 second old. Fillip needs help, but is so egotistical and what not to seek help. It’s really pathetic. If I was his former boss, I probably would have tweeted ***k off too to be honest. Or at the very least something similar to that.
Oof
Let me correct you: "Confirmed Plagiarist Filip Miucin"
Can't wait to see Sid rake this fucker over the coals again.
It's a thief coming back and acting like the victim.

Oh poor him, how sad that he had to reap what he sowed. How sad that people see him as a thief now.. after stealing. Give me a break. -_-
Lol, people would be less mad if it was actual theft. Peeps need to stop overreacting to plagiarism like it's genocide.
@@blacklightredlight2945 It's not just the plagiarism, but also the guys refusal to admit he did wrong and when someone offers some geniune advice, he just screams "STOP THE NEGATIVITY!! YOU ARE ATTACKING ME!!"
@@blacklightredlight2945 In a way you're kind of right. A thief may have stolen out of actual need and would have most likely admitted their guilt. Or at the very least, not go on with the whole 'woe is me' attitude after getting caught.

Also Filip: "I'm not playing the victim here."
Well yeah he isn't :/
*gets kicked out of school for plagarism*
*one year later, gives a revised paper to the teacher that caught him*
Terrible analogy, Filip wasn't giving it to IGN or anything. He covered a game and made a joke about his past, and someone at IGN decided to start shit with him by telling him to 'fuck off'. Why? This IGN guy didn't have to say anything. He is then completely within his right to defend himself, and then people are against him for it.
@@daman8492 He is the one who started the shit himself. Filip Miucin - Dead Cells - IGN are interconnected. There is no way in hell that he could post something like a review of Dead Cells specifically (calling in "honest" and "original") and then joking about his plagiarism without directly referring to or involving IGN. He could have chosen some other game, but no, he chose the one that caused tumult to IGN so of course someone at IGN is going be upset. How are you even defending this guy? He took the solid advice given to him out of concern, something he should have been grateful for since it was someone hoping he gets a second chance, and then turned it into a personal attack. He has no defense.
"A plagiarist that worked for IGN."
You're gonna have to be a bit more specific.

I thought he faded away into obscurity up until now.
I believe that most people deserve second chances, and this situation is kinda why that "most" isn't "all"
He has a lot of chances, just not as a game reviewer on the same channel....
Dude was caught, and acting like he's some type of victim. Also, he jokes in the new review, on the SAME game he stole his review for, about plagiarism...this guy is a clown. He's arrogant, trying to profit from his own dumb decision, and taking no real responsibility.
He needs to find a new line of work.
Nope, he wants to be a game reviewer ? let him be, he won't make the same mistakes again, so who cares ?
@@johnderat2652 Are you sure about that?
I mean, looking at how he has acted thus far I 100% believe that he will plagiarize again as soon as he thinks he can get away with it.
You must have a sad life to think that
@@johnderat2652 That someone who is unrepentant over a misdeed will repeat that misdeed?
That is basically text book, because it is a huge indicator that the person in question don't really think that he did anything wrong. This is further supported by his attempts at painting himself as the victim.
Except he is repentant ? as proved with him making original videos and also making fun of himself, and making another review on dead cells ? And he also deserves a second chance, like anyone.
a friend of mine made a good comparison, a journalist that plagarizes is akin to an athlete doping. No matter what you do after you are caught, you will forever be tainted.
He also comes off very unauthentic. The mannerisms and "RUclipsr voice" he does makes me feel like a everything he says and does is fake.
A person with narcissism is extremely difficult, borderline impossible to deal with. I've had two people in my life with narcissism that I really cared about but had to sever ties with them do to this affliction. Filip Miucin has let his narcissism destroy many parts his life, and career. The sad thing is he can't understand why, due to his affliction.
Lol, your videos about this guy is the reason I subbed to you, and now he’s back.
so u're gonna have to resub again i presume?
Nah membership this time
The circle of life
Your comment got me thinking "When did I discover Yong and sub to him?" And oh my god I feel old... Anyone here remember a little video series by the name of 'The Survivor 2299'? Back then Yong didn't even have camera. Man I'm so proud of how far he's come. He's one of the best people *for all things gaming news, reviews, and discussions* on the entire internet. And i plan to stay tuned for many years to come.
It came full circle

I don’t feel sorry for Mucin, I don’t feel sorry for IGN, I feel sorry for the developers of Dead Cells who’s game is yet again involved in controversy that has absolutely nothing to do with them.
Mucin yet again has dragged Motion Twin through the mud with him, whatever empathy I may have had for him has gone for this one fact alone.
I feel sorry for everyone he plagiarized. Did they get compensated by IGN for Miucin's theft?
Wouldn't go as far as to call it controversy. To put it in an apology, you think Ford cares when a drunk driver slams into an innocent driver? There's only so many things you can control.
Horrible Gaming Yes Ford would care especially if every news report mentioned it was a Ford being driven that killed someone.

Apparently it still is
@ChadThunderCock Narcissism is the exact thing that comes to mind with him
How long till this dude rants and raves about how yong is dredging up a past he's trying to move on from and claims is being harassed?
He makes it impossible to feel bad for him.
The way he reacted to the one person trying to be supportive. Unreal.
That's what narcissistic sociopaths do.
You certainly don't get that but that IGN employee never cared about Filip. All he did was to try to dissuade Filip without actually trying to help him, instead. All the time Filip took between his plagiarism and his return the IGN employee never bothered to check on him, nor to offer any help or guidance to have a better life and only bothered to "help" after Filip made the decision to return to make reviews, not bothering to understand what kind of help Filip needed first. That is the worst kind of support someone can give to another, but the IGN employee was lucky Filip was dumb enough to "jump the gun" and expose the message before privately replying to him and waiting for a response, thus Filip was backfired.
But the truth is nobody is willing to forgive Filip Miucin no matter what he does. Not even dying wpulg help t orestore Filip's reputation.

@safnhuo hehe
It just goes to show his final apology wasn’t genuine and his “I can’t the negativity” was to get people to be negative towards him so he gets into headlines again.
He’s the classic “but I said the words, now I have to mean them?”
His clap backs just go to show that he literally hasn’t changed and is still not taking any real responsibility for his actions.
Most people who play victim will also say “I’m not playing the victim, I’m just stating facts.” That statement is, in itself, playing the victim.
Filip just needs to grow up and learn he doesn’t get his way. He is the living definition of self entitled privileged.
He is so devoid of creativity that he had to go back to the game that he lost his job over. An absolute clueless move.
Well he is fucking clueless isn't he.
What kind person tries to continue in the one field they should never even consider working in, suggests he's totally unaware.
The simple fact he jokes about his plagiarism really shows he never really understood what his offense really meant
"this review, and every review i make hereon out, will always be a very honest original review"...
Breh... that's the bare minimum for an elementary school written assignment!
Rofl Yong literally gets clipped in Mucin’s video and didn’t bat an eye 😂
Literally minus fucks were given.
“I find it fascinating that” has rapidly become the internet’s personal “I’m not a bigot, but”. You just KNOW that they’re about to say something asshole-esque
That or just using the word "imagin"
Yong: "T H E G A L"
Your mispronunciation of "gall" is triggering my 'tisms
Especially as I'm wagering he's hama-sesh-yull...
"neutral platform like twitter" LMFAO oh boy
He's clearly unable to read the room. Or create anything of value by himself
exactly, never seen someone this tone deaf and uninspired
It's neutral in "a certain point of view"
it shows his perception of the world
@@ZenoDLC there's nothing neutral about Twitter. It's a cesspool of negativity
Hearing the “negativity” part, I felt an obligation to lay a pretty negative comment on this clown in that new video. Filip doesn’t deserve any pity, let alone a “second chance”.
Ooo where’s that comment at?
NovemberZulu 118 actually, it got deleted. Wasn’t anything like a death threat (I’m not THAT childish) but it was me telling him that he had no right to post that video and act the way he did to his former employers, and that he is irredeemable in the eyes of any self-respecting journalist and people like me that enjoy reviews and news updates from good individuals like Yong here. Plagiarism is a cardinal sin in written work of ANY kind, and Filip deserves all the consequences that come with it.
@@lando-z4534 Friend, the best way you can be a bigger person than Filip is to ignore him and not give him the attention he wants. Don't jump into the ugly pool with him.
Vesperitis true enough, it’s advice to remember. Thanks friend. People like him only stay around because they feed off of people’s anger and frustration. Once they’re forgotten, they will cease to have meaning. So hopefully IGN, Boomstick and the rest of us can just forget this dude.
He doesn't know how much more negativity he can take?
.
Well, let's find out...SHALL WE?
YongYeah I just have to say I love your content. You're always level headed even when you're frustrated/upset at something, and you articulate your points very well. It's something I can appreciate in an age of youtubers screaming at me with over-saturated colors in their thumbnails
Not only his action, his very character is in question here. The way he reacted just confirms he has not repented. This is the sort of behaviour that led to his downfall in the first place.
LOLZ “in question”
I want my career back!
Everyone: No.
I love it lol
It's not even career back, because if he truly wanted he could just make a new channel with no ties to his current channel. No he just wishes he could load his quick save only to find it had been corrupted.
The fact that he feels he is being treated unfairly means he does NOT understand what he did. Every profession has a line you do not cross and in journalism that line is plagarism. That will ALWAYS be a stain on his reputation.

@@CavasUmbra murder is infintley worse then plagiarism. 90 percent of RUclips comments are plagiarized guess they're worse then murderers.
THE ANIME COMES BACK WITH AN EXPLOSIVE THIRD ARC
This is like working in a restaurant, randomly spitting in people's food, and expecting to keep working after you get caught. There are things that you just don't do, and the fact that he keeps trying to come back shows he doesn't understand the severity of what he did.
This would go way beyond spitting. I would liken it more to dropping his pants, taking a big ol' dump in someones soup, brining it to the table and saying "Bon apetit, bitch".
Honestly I don't think plagiarism killed his career. He could've easily salvaged at least some respect if he immediately apologized and owned up to everything, if he didn't lie and cover up the fact that he plagiarized, if he didn't bring it up more than a year later to give a "genuine" apology and if he didn't try to come back by reviewing Dead Cells again. He wonders why he wasn't given a 2nd chance by most people, that's why
@@NCozy _Maybe_ (and that's a big maybe) if it was a _one time thing_ and he came across as genuinely sorry the instant he was caught... but this was repeated behavior. This was how he made his content. Most of it was plagiarized from one place or another it would seem. There is no returning from that, nor should there be imho.
@@Cimlite I understand that a lot of people wouldn't be able to forgive him for what he did. What I'm saying is that if he handled the situation better he could've more easily came back to RUclips and there would be a lot of people who would be more willing to forgive him. Instead he makes mistake after mistake, each one he makes he digs himself further down making it harder and harder for him to ever be taken seriously ever again. He doesn't seem remorseful for what he did, he seems like he's saying shit just to try and salvage his reputation.
