Too many butthurt white knights on GAF, this is clearly banter.

Go on...

Streisand effect incoming

[Neuromancer]

Think we owe this dude 10$ - new link doesn't work at all for me, says "removed by user"

New upload taken down as well?

Exported wrong version of vid - still contained clips. Sorry, bit frazzled here. New version encoding now.

[cormack12]

How does this guy get a big following? Is he literally the greatest FIFA player ever or something?

What an absolute beaut and a waste of skin.

Three simple words, but they write a novel of your life.

 

[panty]

This is internet, anyone has the deleted video?

 

[Messofanego]

C'mon, new version of video! So I can then link it to reddit.

 

[Neuromancer]

This is internet, anyone has the deleted video?

They're going to upload the video soon. just without the clips from KSI. Which you can see the worst of here while you wait:

Watch KSI's antics here: KSI being awkward in Eurogamer Expo

"So what are you doing not fingering yourself?"

Like, whoah.

 

[GeeDuhb]

Yeah new upload was removed now...wtf? I wanna see it lol

 

[Nokterian]

Oh boy he is going after all those video's..streisand effect incoming.

 

[velociraptor]

Nobody made any copies of the original video? Dammit.

 

[LOLCats]

That guy is really a dirtbag.

 

[Copenap]

How many "prominent youtubers" are out there I haven't heard of, ever? Seems like every other week there's drama involving iternet celebs I didn't know existed, who's watching this stuff?

 

[Phrozenflame500]

This is totally going to blow up in his face. His views and ad-revenue are going to skyrocket from all the controversy.

 

[LOLCats]

"So what are you doing not fingering yourself?"

Like, whoah.

Ya she shoulda kicked him in the junk. Too polite for that I suppose.

 

[razgriz417]

He reposted (edited version) it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTlyi6MbHo8&feature=youtu.be

Said he spelled Copyright wrong in the 2nd posting haha

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Too many butthurt white knights on GAF, this is clearly banter.

Yes, making a copyright claim to remove a video criticising you when there is no copyright claim to be made in the first place.

Auch, of course it's all just banter

Seeing as Jim Sterling has made an appearance, can we get some coverage of this on The Escapist, if possible Jim?

 

[Goldmund]

Ice cold!

Watch KSI's antics here: KSI being awkward in Eurogamer Expo

Chronology of events: YouTube Celeb KSI Sexually Harasses Attendees At Expo

Matt Lees is reuploading the video but with KSI's bits cut out, although he should be able to get copyright from Eurogamer rather than KSI bungling the system. Already done

Actual Quote from the Eurogamer vid after he starts perving on a girl: "Whats your favorite STD?"

Dude...seriously? This guy is a real douchebag.

New version without copyright is up:

He's awful at fifa. He makes a lot of fried chicken and black people jokes. His audience average age is 12.

....White Knighting for whom exactly?

Do you even know what white knighting is?

 

[NoirVisage]

"So what are you doing not fingering yourself?"

Like, whoah.

I don't want to give anyone involved hits, so can someone condense what this ksi dude? If the above is anything to go back, that's raunchy and straight up harrasment if its not staged..

 

[Despera]

Taking down videogamer's vid was stupid. But other than that, KSI seems like a cool dude.

I think hes referring to KSI's original video.

Are you for real? That was the worst thing I've seen today. The guy is a massive douche, he could have said similar things to men, he'd still be a jerk.

Go back to /r/mensrights.

I unfortunately just skimmed the video. It's pretty much just him sexually harassing female attendees and workers, and mocking a few guys who are doing cosplay.

His subscribers should be ashamed.

He approaches women, sticks his microphone or his face in their cleavage and asks things like "What's your favourite STD", "Where are your tits?" in a barely intelligible mumble. Classy stuff like that, in an attempt to lure newly pubescent boys to subscribe to his channel.

 

[Alienous]

KSI should do what he wants to.

If someone uploads a video, using footage or audio owned by himself, he should feel free to have it taken down.

Matt Lees made a good point, in that KSI was acting like a twat. But that's his shtick, much like Lees' is being overbearingly sarcastic and weirdly annoying.

It all just seems silly. "He's not suitable" ... according to you? "Only us people in the specialist games media ... know ... that this guy is like this. And now he's on television" ... wait, so, why does it matter what he does.

Everybody should keep to his own. "Made his money off of rape face" ... ugh, just stop. This is more defamation of character than anything else.

It's the same field as prank calling. It can be annoying, it can be entertaining, doesn't really matter. It's a shame that people don't get to live in a world where there are no dickheads, but that isn't how it works.

I don't know how reddit works, but I posted it there:

Wrong.

They are probably the same subscribers as PewDiePie.

 

[Despera]

I just find it hilarious that TB of all people is calling someone a twat.

 

[Lunaniem]

There is a difference between white knights and being against sexual harassment.

Hmmm, seriously, if they weren't in on it, that's foul, but if they were, its a bit over the top, I see where the white knighting comments are coming from, but in this case (provided its not staged)it is necessary.

 

[Alienous]

Wrong.

Would you care to elaborate.

Or are we just using single words?

In what case, "Why" (am I wrong)?

All of his corporate endorsers should be ashamed.

 

[Diablo Rosso]

This sounds like it's going to be another case of the Streisand Effect.

 

[Glass Shark]

KSI should do what he wants to.

That shouldn't stop anyone from calling him out on it.

If someone uploads a video, using footage or audio owned by himself, he should feel free to have it taken down.

Matt's response video falls pretty squarely under every fair use law I know of. Also, I don't know for sure, but I don't think KSI even owns the footage.

Everybody should keep to his own. "Made his money off of rape face" ... ugh, just stop. This is more defamation of character than anything else..

KSI did a pretty good job defaming his own character.

 

[Harlock]

Hey, this is the white knight guy from Killer is Dead video. Well, we are ok with him now, but we never forget your past too.

 

[HariKari]

Would you care to elaborate.

We have fair use laws for a reason.

You snivelling pisshole /banter

 

[BakedSardine]

This seems a bit overblown - seems more like sour grapes (i.e. "Why is this guy getting corporate gigs where there are perfectly nice guys like me...").

 

[Mikro]

Too many butthurt white knights on GAF, this is clearly banter.

Want to raise a point that I think this is relevant here, there's this sort of new view especially in younger people in Britain that its ok to be a complete dickhead as long as its just "Banter". KSI probably thought what he was doing was just banter, but for me there's a clear difference between being funny (with possible shock value) and just being a twat.

If you want to read up on more of this here are some articles

Again it has this connection with football (Soccer) where many fans feel that it might be expected to act this way, I dunno, just want to show theres more going on here.
