Its all good. You dont gotta be around for every session by any means, but if youre down with playing randomized video games with a cool group of people at some point, we'd be more than happy to have you ^^

Im right there with you. Dude garnered all the good faith he could get from others and then made sure all of it was misplaced.

Y'all mean so much to me too 💚

Shes had a really rough lot in life, I can't lie, but she's strong, and through all her turmoil has at least arrived in a better community with a greater sense of peace.

He was one of those folks who called himself "independent" and "third party" even though he pretty much uniformly refused to criticize the Right in any way. Most of us for a while thought he just stopped engaging in politics all-together at a point. Then we found the twitter x_x

Im still friends with the person hes talking about btw, cuz im actually considerate of the folks I claim to care about. Cuz I CARE ABOUT THEM. Not a high bar at all tbh, but some people dont come close to reaching it as you can see.

As a final nail on what I said about LEGO_Vince last night, here he is trying to ragebait a trans former friend of his by leveraging a super traumatic thing that happened to her 6 years ago, dead naming her, and calling it "good times." Bro is a two-faced ghoul through and through. Avoid him.

Can confirm this is the exact attitude me and many of his former friends dealt with for years on end, even when the "you were mean" part barely held true.

Yup, thats him in a nutshell. Not a shred of integrity in that mans mind.

Thank you. I do really hope people just ignore him going forward, but this still sucks. That man received all the good faith in the world and STILL ended up here. At the very least, the friend groups he previously splintered have been slowly healing up, and that feels nice.

He was an active follower of the countdown community AND he's a fan of Metroid Other M so your videos maybe got you on his radar. Also this next part is speculation, but if his twitter is anything to go by, he seems to... ACTIVELY LOOK for trans people to argue with?

If you want my speculation, I think Vince is just a politically very shallow man. He was fine to do whatever helped him fit in with the decent folks in his life, then his political party told him to be mad at trans people over Charlie Kirk for some reason and he followed suit. Thats what I think.

You can see in the original quote tweet, this is in response to LEGO_Vince, a former friend of mine who has quintupled down on being a shit person. At first, I wanted to leave things be, but he's now getting attention from colleagues of mine, so I figured I could give context.

If there's any compassion I have left for the guy, it's that I think he CAN be so much more than a petty transphobic loser with a weird hate boner for the countdown community who STILL holds grudges from 2020. It's on him to improve tho. Right now he's spiraling. Don't get sucked down with him.

LEGO Vince is a QUINTESSENTIAL cry-bully to his very core. He holds grudges for years on end of over the pettiest shit, he goads people by saying totally horrid stuff and then plays victim when he gets even a bit of pushback.

He's tried messaging me on platforms I forgot to block him on. He even tried impersonating me on his Twitter for a while. I just left him to ragebait into the void, and if there's ANY takeaway you guys get from this thread, it's that you guys should do the same if you cross paths.

With each person who called him out (basically his whole friend group) he doubled down more and more and completely torpedoed his relationships with everyone who once respected him. And he's gonna love that I'm mentioning him finally cuz he's been pining for my attention for a while now.

Trying to continue this thread via quote tweet cuz Bluesky replies are fucking out on me. Anyway, Vince was TRYING to maintain friends WITH our trans friends. He'd act all nice in DMs and then go to his Twitter to call them "mentally ill men" or whatever. Just absolute snake behavior on his part.

He USED TO actually be a pretty big trans supporter. In fact we hosted trans healthcare charities in the past and had a ton of mutual friends who are trans. After Charlies death, Vince started posting more and more transphobic shit to his twitter till more of us took notice.

I think I should provide the backstory here since he's now getting engagement and affecting colleagues I respect, LEGO Vince is a former friend and collaborator of mine, whose brain broke after the death of Charlie Kirk. 🧵
