What's Up With Memes About A 'Leopards Eating People's Faces' Political Party? Memes About Face-Eating Leopards Explained
![[-] stephen-totilo 2 points 7 days ago" A belated reply to you. I was reminded of your question while going through my messages on Reddit A year after our original story, Wardell's people contacted us for a follow-up article that explained that both lawsuits were dismissed and included an apology from the woman who had sued him. That newer article was published prominently on our site and is linked to as visibly as possible in the original article. That original article always included and quoted from the full counter-complaint from his attorney and, within a few hours of publication, also cluded ersonal response to the claims against him. Hindsight being 20/20 I certainly wish we'd given him even hed with nd to be gry about being piled on and harassed over allegations for which he always should have been presumed innocent. While our original story included both sides, the follow-up helped provide more of the balance that would have been ideal from the get-go. He himself has said he wasn't able to speak as freely then. His lawsuit--in which he sued his ex-employee--was newsworthy and had been reported on. I believe hers was therefore relevant as well. The reporter on the original story hasn't worked for Kotaku for years, but I obviously still do and have factored our experiences--and Wardell's--with that story many times as we handle sensitive reporting and strive, always, to be as fair as can be. We publish in great volume, and I trust that regular readers will recognize our ever more aggressive efforts to be as fair as possible Wardell and I have met since then and have remained in touch for coverage of his company's games. I wish him the best and hope these incidents recede into the past for all parties permalink embed save parent report give gold reply [-] dragi nol 53 points 8 hours ago Hi Stephen, Your original story did not include both sides. Your writer only used documents that were provided by the plaintiff who cherry picked the documents she provided If the story was "newsworthy" as you say, then your writer would have given us the same courtesy of allowing us to have sufficient time to provide our side of the story. In actuality, while your writer worked with the plaintiff for a month (According to she didn't notify us about the story until the night before it was going up and didn n with regards to what the story wa mitte that the stateme in Kotaku article we We also co d have demonstrated that not only did not a single er own witnesses corroborate her allegations fact s no oworkers amed in the STILL work at Stardock -- tha How ma rect, 100% ra workers h retention rat The fact i age her forum whatsoe f Kotaku had done mo ndu rampa knew about this because the r marketing manage contact to ge se w r di m a biased source sift t ug stract I, for that story.

They allowed a hyper-political feminist to use your platform to spew out a hateful, story that completely misrepresented the facts And for anyone reading this that has any doubts of how ridiculous the young woman's case was: The cased ended with her receiving nothing and having to write a public apology for having started the case. If a reading this, they can tell you that it's essentially unheard of for the plaintiff to be required to do such a thing attorne permalink embed save parent report give gold reply](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/001/052/737/f4a.png "Brad Wardell calls out Stephen Totilo on Kotaku's lack of journalistic ethics")
