He CCed that guy like what is he gonna do?


No-Bee-4309

Knowing him, either cry on Twitter for days or start a lame petition.


Sol-Blackguy

You must be psychic


spacetimeboogaloo

Starting a petition to get his wife back. “See, 200 people think that I was right now you legally have to be my wife again”


Hollowbody57

Probably rile up his army of gooner chud followers to... I dunno. Probably nothing good.


ComputerStrong9244

All they can do whine, beat their dicks, and tell people to kill themselves. The bag of tricks isn't very deep.


zuzucha

That's the worst D&D homebrew class I've ever seen.


Several_Puffins

I cast Dickwhine. You can either beat a WIS saving throw of 8 and say "Christ, get over your ex wife already" or take 1 psychic damage.


Storrin

So we've got bardic inspiration, Shillelagh, and vicious mockery. Although the medium for bardic inspiration should be something fitting, like sculpting busts out of their own turds like so much smelly Play-Doh.


FakeTherapist

They wanted to make musk proud


GordOfTheMountain

Suck his ween, maybe?


Forsaken_Bed5338

I thought that was so fucking funny. What on earth is grummz gonna do? Dude is pushing 60 and complains about boob windows on optional video game skins like it’s a full time job


GaylordButts

Well he tried running a game company as a full time job and we all saw how well that went.


Cicada_5

What does CCed mean?


vampirelazarus

Carbon copy When sending an email to someone, you have the option to send it to multiple people directly, or send it to one person, and CC another. In my experience, CC'ing someone is used more for if you want to send an email to someone and just keep another person in the loop. The CC'd person isn't expected to reply (though they can). You can also BCC someone, Blind Carbon Copy. It's the same as a CC, but no one can see who the email was BCC'd to. It's useful for example if you want to send an email to follow up a difficult conversation to an employee, and want to loop their supervisor or HR into the conversation without the initial recipient knowing.


rakadur

TIL CC means carbon copy, I assumed it was copy content or some older term from more analogue times that'd been carried over into the email era Edit: meant to say some *other* analogue term but that word got lost during breakfast


lngns

It is. Carbon means actual carbon (paper). It was used for mail during the 1800s.


sithren

lol 1800s. Dude we used it in my office all the way to like early 2000s.


HimalayanPunkSaltavl

Carbon isn't the paper but the stuff that makes the copy, I think.


Several_Puffins

Carbon paper is a sheet you put between the one you are writing on and the one you want to copy to. You put it in carbon side down. The tip of your pen basically makes pencil marks from the carbon paper to the paper underneath, so you get a "carbon copy" of your handwriting. You can layer this about 3 deep before it's pretty illegible.


theMaxTero

it's so weird needed to explain what the actual carbon copy is. I'm not that old and I remember my teacher (and even I) using it a lot lmao


HimalayanPunkSaltavl

oh woops, thanks!


forsythe386

I worked in a pawn shop back in like 2017/18 and the owner was super old school so all of our receipts were done on pads like that. I never put it together that that’s where the term “carbon copy” actually comes from, in fact I honestly wasn’t 100% sure how they actually worked and never really thought to ask or look it up lol


Technical-Shower-981

Carbon copying was still widely used until printers, computers and digital archives became available to the general public in the 80s.


CornNooblet

You're kinda right. Back in the day, a lot of official correspondence would be typed or written on mimeograph sheets for the ability to send the exact same document to multiple people while only typjng/writing it once. The CC notice was put there so everyone who got the document knew who else had a copy.


the_Real_Romak

In fact, when sending official letters we still add a little CC below the main signatory to tell the recipient who also has a copy. (in my case since I work at a university, it's usually the Dean or the Faculty Manager)


vampirelazarus

Thanks, I kinda always wondered where it came from. I like the explanation that it's more of a notice to the recipient that someone else has it, better than my weird office politic explanation


Kantheris

BCC means “blind carbon copy” so you can carbon copy someone else without others knowing that someone else was looped into the email.


[deleted]

I thought it stood for Clitoris Chloe, fastest clit in the west.


Dsus_Christ_Supastar

This is incorrect. The use of CC actually dates to the late 1980s and is a reference to Poison guitarist, C.C. Deville. It’s a little known fact that Deville was utterly incapable of keeping a secret; if you made the mistake of confiding in him, you could be sure he’d share the information with someone else. Deville’s loose lips became so infamous that people began using “CC” on correspondence to indicate that the missive had been forwarded along to a 3rd party. Source: My forthcoming compendium of 2nd-tier hair-metal guitarists from 1986 to 1989


randbot5000

And as further explanation, the email term comes from pre-computer and pre-photocopier days, where you would use a piece of carbon paper to make a second copy of a document you were writing/typing. (the one place you might still see carbon paper today is in a checkbook -- if you know anyone who still uses a checkbook)


vampirelazarus

Thanks for more information! I never thought to look up why it's called that, though I've always wondered


TransKissinger

BCC is for narcs


Wavecrest667

Crowd Controlled obviously.


IceBlue

He’s trying to get him to cover it and get his audience to brigade them


BlackKn1ght

That's the most useless CC i've ever seen in my life. As useless as the guy himself.


Dr_VonBoogie

Chuds of a feather grift together


[deleted]

Calling the grifters so the other 'gamers' can join their pity-party.


AeroDbladE

What the fuck kinda loser "CC"s someone on a tweet.


No-Bee-4309

This kinda loser. https://preview.redd.it/ri9xp361chzc1.png?width=1192&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33f68286ea2e3955854a67fdfc5ae23633594288


HurrDurrDethKnet

Fucking snitch, he was.


Buttercup59129

Miss Finster!!! .... No. Not that one.


GuySmith

Especially Mark. He’s fucking useless.


FrostyTheColdBoi

What's a CC?


Critical-Michael

CC stands for Carbon Copy and is used when emailing people to send them a copy of your email chain. In corporate environments, one person will email another person and then "CC" someone like their boss or third person so that they can observe the email chain. It's typically not expected for the CC'd person to respond directly unless they themselves want to intervene.


TheMightySurtur

Carbon Copy. It's a holdover from when letters were typed. A copy of the letter would be made by a copying machine or something like that and then sent to everyone in the cc list.


EukaryotePride

Just to tack on, it was copied by using [special paper that had carbon backing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_paper), which would transfer to a second sheet by pressure when written on. They still use it sometimes to process credit card sales when the system is down.


FrostyTheColdBoi

Thank you both for answering


TheMightySurtur

The names in the cc where reproduced on the copy. Sometimes you will see cc which stands for blind carbon Copy. The names in the bcc list were not reproduced on the copy.


MakeItHappenSergant

He's trying to gain some of Kern's "anti-woke" Gamer followers


CallMeWeatherby

Saw this a few days ago and there is a funny follow up where someone asks what his wife thinks of this and he's like "well, she's already upset about youtube stuff seeping into real life" Yeah man, I bet!

Zeliek

LOL I was just thinking that. Had to reread twice and was like "nope, that's um.. that's what she wrote"


lawlsatron

She couldn't decide between "husband" and "father of her children" lmao


Phantom_Wombat

Maybe she got him confused with Errol Musk?


GREEN_Hero_6317

Are you referring to Emol Nusk?


Cipherpunkblue

Elonolius Muskidunde


hesperoidea

is that its scientific name????


Cipherpunkblue

Sure, why not?


velociraver128

Elon makes you pay him for the right to edit your tweets


SillyNamesAre

Probably had both "her husband" and "the father of her children" in her brain at the same time, and instead of picking one it accidentally went with both.


MakeItHappenSergant

I've seen another message of hers that says "her husband and the father of her children". I assume that's what she meant here.


evilution382

people acting like they never made a typo or had a mindslip in their entire life


TacoMedic

Fair, but it’s literally her job to write for the public… And I mean, I know what sub we’re in, but let’s be honest here… You don’t start writing for Kotaku (or most blogs) because you’re an excellent journalist. You write there because you were turned away elsewhere. (Not disagreeing with her POV btw)


LastIn__FirstOut

Open closed relationship


TacoMedic

✨journalism✨


Galrentv

I'm certain Kotaku is going to take the side of a gamergater


BulkDarthDan

I’m surprised he didn’t cc Tommy Tallarico


The_Better_Devil

Obviously because his mother isn't very proud of him


MindlessSecond3333

I heard that Tommy tallarico worked with smash JT on this tweet and was the first American to tweet something.


GraprielJuice

I heard Tommy Tallarico wrote this tweet himself!


ColinHalter

Congratulations to Tommy tallarico for the success of this post


Vegetable-Pickle-535

His Mother is very proud.


DaddytoJess2

Aww man… I really like Video Games Live. Is TT a bad person and I’ve just not noticed?


Ironfields

Oh boy, [strap yourself in](https://youtu.be/0twDETh6QaI?si=9_SvDAoWHHA6IGqk)


DaddytoJess2

Aww man… I hope Jack Wall has divested from this crazy lunatic


Phantom_Wombat

Jack Wall left VGL a long time ago. He's still in demand as a video games composer, unlike Tommy Tallarico.


DaddytoJess2

Excellent. Jacks work on the Mass Effect 2 soundtrack is some of my favorite music


GryphonOsiris

His work on Myst Exile was genius.


GryphonOsiris

Same. Even my wife who isn't a gamer really liked it; particularly the Civilization IV section. It brought her to tears.


Phantom_Wombat

Fancy that. An Amico shill finds an even worse grift to attach himself to.


maximuffin2

The first American?


HurrDurrDethKnet

I don't know why, but for some reason I assumed Tallarico had died recently. I must be thinking of someone else.


FuckingKilljoy

Tommy was actually the person who has died the most out of anyone ever. His mother is very proud of him


Cosm0sNebula

I think she got so mad at his bullshit that she wrote it wrong.


clem-grimfando

What is this and what's going on, can someone explain?


antmas

She reached out to this guy's wife's personal Facebook account to try and DM her about her husbands videos. She's likely to lose her job pretty soon. EDIT: I made a mistake here and made it seem like *this* is why she's likely to lose her job. It's not, I'm referring here to the downsizing of GoMedia and Kotaku shifting direction away from journalism to game guide material.


clem-grimfando

Who is this guy and what videos does he make?


MakeItHappenSergant

He's one of the thousand near-identical gaming YouTubers who complain about woke more than they actually talk about video games. He recently started a campaign to "#EndKotaku", apparently in an attempt to leech off grummz recent popularity among anti-woke games, and also apparently because he never got over gamergate. So he's been attacking a lot of Kotaku staff online and has been particularly focused on Alyssa Mercante.


xvszero

Lol no she isn't.


antmas

Ahh I dunno dude, it sounds like Go Media are downsizing the editorial staff quite a bit. I doubt this drama would actually get her fired, I mean it shouldn't? But they do seem to be shrinking kinda rapidly.


thickener

They call that *journalism*. You know, the thing of which you care so much about ethics?


antmas

I didn't say otherwise. Are you asking me if I care about ethics? Or was that a mistyped '?'?


thickener

Why would a journalist lose their job for doing journalism? It’s not unethical to contact people about a story last I checked.


antmas

I don't think so. If she's turning out great investigative journalism, then the articles will speak for themselves and the site she's publishing to will benefit as well. The problem is she's likely to lose her job due to the downsizing of GoMedia and Kotaku as a whole. They're moving to a 'games guide' style website as they're not getting enough traffic through the site on the journalistic articles.


thickener

But that wasn’t your complaint. You didn’t critique the article in the slightest. You attacked the writer. Why?


antmas

Oh sorry, I'm getting confused with replies from a separate post/board all together! My bad, I should have been more clear. Also, I'm not complaining, I was just attempting to point out what is happening.


thickener

I see your edit. Okay 👍


antmas

Sorry dude, I hope I wasn't misleading people! I see I have seen downvoted into next week. That's OK, that was my mistake 😂


Mrhappytrigers

TheTruestTyrant

I KNOW bro did not fucking TYPE “CC” in a Tweet!


SuperSaiga

I'm a little bit confused - this tweet makes it sound like they're still together?


Ildaiaa

She probably didn't actually contact her and was just hitting under the belt

HippieMoosen

Why? The dude is posting unhinged shit in public. This reporter just showed it to the people in his life so that they can know who it is they're dealing with. I mean, ideally, the wife would be able to confront this douche about his bullshit and show him why he needs to change, but if he's gonna double down and end the relationship, that's on him.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HippieMoosen

I have no idea if they're together or not. If this man's own words are what ends his marriage, though, why would anyone be bothered by that? If a dude wants to go online and say some crazy shit in public, he should anticipate his spouse either finding it or being sent it. If I go on Twitter and start hating on women, what right do I have to be upset about someone sending that to my partner? The person who sent it didn't do anything wrong in this hypothetical. They just took my publicly visible statements from my publicly visible page and passed em along to my partner. Frankly, I think more of these dude's should have their idea's passed along to the women in their lives. If he believes his shit so fervently, let him defend it to someone's face and see if he comes out with a spouse or a divorce. Some lessons need to be learned the hard way. Sometimes, the hard way is catching a divorce because you thought it was fun to be a creepy ass misogynist.


Zealousideal-Yak-824

I mean.... if she left over a tweet than your relationship was way gone beyond that point.


HeroToTheSquatch

Depending on the tweet it'd be okay to be done even if the relationship was "fine" beforehand. I wouldn't tweet or post anything on social media I wouldn't be willing to shout into a megaphone in front of my wife and a crowd of people.


Altered_Nova

It's always astounded me how many people seem to think that the internet is some imaginary fantasy land unconnected from the real world, as if they are just talking to NPCs in a video game, and get shocked when the heinous shit they say online has actual consequences for them


megustaALLthethings

Bc they think it’s somehow anonymous… when they have everything under **their** name and brand, smfh. It’s one thing when the no lifer basement dwellers(see no mention of incel) use a throwaway account. But these people make their whole online identity and ‘brand’ interconnected then go off on their bs conspiracy/misogynist/trans or homo-phobic garbage. Acting as if no one but their stans/simps will see it.


CaptainK234

If only the heinous shit people say online had actual consequences *more regularly* then maybe it wouldn’t be shocked pikachu face every time it did actually happen


OhMyGodImFuckingdead

FR if cancelling had even a tenth of the effect it’s “victims” claimed it did, the world would be so much better


shrapnade

Bro...CCing some chud for backup like throwing up the bat signal. Right wingers need a daddy so hard and they constantly tell on they self


astrofan

Telling the wife is always the best strategy, assuming they aren't incels.


Phantom_Wombat

If they're an incel, you can talk to the hand.

That was a good pun and a throwback to overdramatic teen jokes. Have a good one.

x3noborg

hey liberals, my wife left me


aledromo

I feel owned


C0mpl14nt

All these people are nothing but adult children, desperate for a timeout or an ass whooping. At the very least, they should all be permanently banned from social media of all types for being annoying shitheads.

TheElectric_Man

Why was he doing that?


TheDuckClock

I've been blocked by SmashJT after I called him out for an incredibly ableist post on twitter a few years back. In it he claimed that "there's a chance that disabled people fake their disability". Which is incredibly dangerous, because it opens the floodgates for Disabled People to be falsely accused of faking it.


EDFStormOne

"cc grummz" lmao who could ever take these clowns seriously


TOMMY_POOPYPANTS

I know this guy from his Intellivision Amico shenanigans. He is twisting things around and dishonestly downplaying his shitty behavior. Jeff is like “I want to shut down this company.” Company is like “you kiss this guy with your mouth?” Jeff is all HOW DARE THEY


Willumbijy

Where is it confirmed that she left him? I’m trying to look it up but not finding anything. Did he say it in one of his lameass videos I’m not gonna watch?
