@oni: this waypoint thread has links to several twitter threads by people confessing they'd been subject to abuse by Merritt. https://forum.waypoint.vice.com/t/tw-sexual-assault-alec-holowka-accused-of-sexual-assault-by-zoe-quinn/23664/33

Here's a twitter thread by the person who alleges that Merritt tried to get her fired from Fanbyte https://twitter.com/acvalens/status/1166363730990571520?s=20 - it also points out that "What drives me wild is how many queer women (usually trans women) have their own stories about merritt and yet whenever I talk to someone outside of the community it's like this is totally news to them."

This now closed reddit post has more stuff in the comments. https://www.reddit.com/r/giantbomb/comments/iqb31s/merritt_k_on_the_beastcast_is_super_disappointing/

Leaving this podcast up seems in bad taste at best and more likely irresponsibly signal boosting someone who even a cursory search reveals is a serial abuser and has a history of racism and biphobia.

After having an entire apology podcast, an "oops, my bad!" notice that will reach a fraction of the podcast audience is embarrassing. How do you hear these allegations mid recording and not think maybe you should pause and investigate?

You can and should do better.

This is really not the week you want to be saying "lol Ice Cube, right?"
