Feyd, can you explain to me whether you believe this man is actually lying and defaming Proton, or that it’s no big deal what he’s telling his followers? It can’t be both, and I find it difficult to parse your sarcasm.
I think it is easily believable that it was a single sponsorship and Vincent used the word partnership without even thinking about it, and I also find it easily believable that the sponsorship is something that slipped through the cracks rather than having any meaning, and I find the response from Proton to be acceptable. I just don’t think it is as big a deal as you’re wanting it to be ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I think it is easily believable that it was a single sponsorship and [a man who makes a living on being a political pundit] used the word partnership without even thinking about it
So suddenly the narrative went from Vincent lying, to Vincent making a whoopsie. Odd how fast this stance softened.
I literally know nothing about Vincent other than that he’s a bad dude. I just find the scenario as it has been laid out believable. If it becomes a pattern then I’ll join you with my pitchfork.
I’m confused about what you believe right now. Do you think Vincent is a liar like you said first? Or do you think he made a little oopsie like you said second?
Both cannot be true at the same time.
I think it’s weird that you think Proton should just accept defamation from a political extremist, but I guess we just have different moral standards.
But if you were being truthful when you say that you would change your mind if you saw a pattern, here you go.
I don’t give a fuck what Vincent said. You’re latching onto something that is completely pointless and I’m not going to engage you on.
Assuming your link is about the shit Andy Yen said before, then I agree it is problematic, but I don’t think there is a through line to proton sponsoring Vincent. I’d bet it’s completely unrelated.
Yeah that’s why LurkingLuddite said “it’s not a partnership. It’s a normal sponsor segment. Leave it to a right winger to lie about their affiliations.”
It’s not a partnership. It’s a normal sponsor segment. Leave it to a right winger to lie about their affiliations.
Vincent and his audience might disagree…
You Really Think Someone Would Do That? Just Go On the Internet and Tell Lies?
why did you type it like a title?
I copy pasted it from know your meme lol

Nice sealioning! I hope you have a nice day but I’m moving on
Feyd, you barged in here to complain to me, did several 180s, demanded excessive evidence, then ignored and concern trolled over it.
You are the textbook sealion.
It’s a good thing you’re licking corpo boots here, because otherwise people might see through your facade.
I find it all to be very strange.
Proton pays Vincent money for a sponsorship.
According to you, Vincent defames Proton.
Proton doesn’t seem all that worried about the defamation.
I think it is easily believable that it was a single sponsorship and Vincent used the word partnership without even thinking about it, and I also find it easily believable that the sponsorship is something that slipped through the cracks rather than having any meaning, and I find the response from Proton to be acceptable.
