Wow, this thread has been dead for ages. Toby was on last night's episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, playing an announcer for a live gaming tournament. Pretty good!

I don't have a legal clip that I can link to, although Toby does mention it in his vlog.

I have to admit that I've been bored with Toby lately due to his lack of content. I also haven't been able to watch his LPs of serious games because he goofs off so much. Oh, well, I suppose everyone moves on.

I feel like his old Literals had tighter writing. Still love his video for Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

I noticed quite a few people on twitter either saying that sounded like something Toby would do or coming out with their own harassment stories. I'm inclined to believe all this actually happened.

I'm a bit too pessimistic to believe this would actually make Toby's popularity take a hit or anything like that, though, unless all this goes to court or something.

but HOW?

His popularity? Hmm. His output of content has been on a serious decline for over a year now; note that this controversy is a two-month bump on top of another one-month bump. I'm not going to take a position on this little mess, but I'm not crying bitter fanboy tears over the dethroning of an idol.

My main problem with this is that people on You Tube (particularly in the comments section) seem to have already decided that he's guilty. I've never been a fan of his, but I think the way people are treating this story is in poor taste.

At this point, there's no proof, only allegations. And it seems like his life could be ruined over these allegations even if they are false.

I am NOT saying that he shouldn't be held accountable for his actions, just that people shouldn't start Internet lynch mobs without concrete proof

The day that the tumblr post came out, Disney XD tweeted a photo for an episode of "Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything" that he's already filmed. The tweet was up for a day or two, but it looks like they've deleted it now. I wonder if they're going to postpone/ drop/ re-edit the episode now?

Again, I don't think there's been solid proof and its just allegations.

Yes, but it's a lot of allegations.

And a phone pic or two, although I guess those can be photoshopped?

A lot of people seem to be saying that sounds like something he would do, though.

but HOW?

Oh, the court of public opinion.

I honestly find myself more skeptical than I otherwise might be, in things like this, out of spite, at the whole, assumption of guilt thing?

But I don't really care, I guess. I haven't deigned to look into it at all, and I haven't watched any of his videos in a long time.

I just hope, in an abstract sense, that if he's innocent, this blows over; and that if he's not, some actual proof surfaces.

According to some comments on You Tube, the tumblr post about "the truth about tobuscus " is just a recap of an episode of Jessica Jones with the names changed.

Pathetic. If you are going to ruin someone's life with false accusations, at least don't rip off someone else's script.

Oh thank goodness now I can drop that act there, and uh,

Voice how when I first read that tumblr post linked here I thought it was a joke.

I mean, a bad one, in poor taste, that I stopped reading at the start,

But a joke.

If this is an attention grab by Toby and company, I will be very upset. That's not cool, man.

I doubt it's an attention grab by Toby, because, A, it's absolutely something an internet troll would do,

And B it's like, the worst kind of publicity, isn't it?
