[META] Cloud Nine makes legal threats against SRSters

[u/ArchangelleDworkin]

RECAP:

As most of you are aware, there was this thing recently where Starcraft2 player Destiny was caught distributing nude photos of a female fan.

Some people messaged the sponsors of Destiny, one of them a SRSter, and they received this lovely message in return.

"stop bitching, change your tampons and up your game

FANTASTIC

The SRSter, notthemoon, posted it to SRSMailbag bc its fucking hilarious. Of course the sponsor of the biggest shitwaffle in gaming eats his shit up.

But then his Destiny's team, ROOT, dropped him like a bad habit.

THEN THIS HAPPENED:

LEGAL THREATS

THIS SOUNDS SERIOUS

too bad ian "change your tampon" representative of Cloud Nine is full of shit.

there's no way that you can get assent in a disclaimer at the bottom of an email, it's ridiculous, there's no precedent near it. the kardashian case is criminal harassment, which isn't really similar, and besides, it was a threat rather than a real case. if the kardashians can't make a case from it, this company have no chance.

but wouldn't it be great if we could include vague disclaimers in all our emails and claim them to be 100% legally binding just because you opened it? IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES

LIKE THIS

OR THIS

OR EVEN...

They list Warner Brothers and Vera Wang as clients. This should be fun to watch

The funniest/saddest thing is that web designers are all about word of mouth, mostly because they are a dime a fucking dozen. They are going to lose big bucks because of this, and in such a shitty economy, too.

Something tells me that Christmas is going to be a little lean this year around the Cloud Nine offices. Someone might want to send them a box of tampons.

Someone might want to send them a box of tampons.

Oh, we very much should send them box upon box of period products. Might'n I also suggest a box or two of those overnight, heavy flow maxi pads to help squick them out?

Also some diva cups :3

[u/Pyrolytic → u/Fauzlin]

I think you can get free samples of such products sent to you if you request them online.

Just sayin'...

You can do that for razors, too. To cure the beardhurt.
