Yeah. That is, and was, some "All lives matter" bullshit that then proceeds to insist that people who had received documented threats in the past and were seeing the exact same attacks occuring were 'inserting themselves" and then insisting the real problem is people is... people who are angry they are being doxxed and threatened constantly?

say, we cannot talk about ethics because you won't stop talking about us allegedly harassing people. What is the first law of the internet? DON'T FEED THE TROLLS. By pushing this harassment narrative, you are giving these awful people victory and marginalizing the moderate majority who do want a serious conversation to happen about journalistic ethics.

Also: This was not a video on his channel or even his podcast. This was a comment in a relatively low impact video that basically only content creators watched

Yeah. Fuck that bullshit. If Bain hadn't died he would be right there with the asmongolds of the world right now.

And while I won't talk about the personal experiences of my friends who were formerly in games media and dev (because nobody believed them back then and sure as hell won't now...), I will point out that a few outlets, when talking about the current "DEI is the real problem in the world" stupidity have alluded to Bain being the reason they initially stayed quiet until it was too late. Because when you have someone with that audience insisting that all old media is fundamentally evil and lying to you? You don't pick a fight that will just lead to you getting fired.
