You can't say what he did was wrong, then imply he didn't do anything by calling it a witch hunt, then weaponize suicide to shield a plagiarist from criticism.
You're gross.
IGN to scrub Filip Miucin from site almost completely after even more plagiarism surfaces (READ OP)

It's so weird to see this new narrative that he suffer from some mental illness. Is that if people is incapable to accept that sometimes, people is just what it is: assholes
The "witch hunt" crowd has moved on to "he might become suicidal" it seems.
Guy released a nonapology about a case of plagiarism, challenged people to dare find more plagiarism on his part, and then got outed for a LOT more plagiarism. Of course people are going to have some schadenfreude over that.
Guy also acted like an absolute two-face and apparently mistreated his coworkers. Of course people aren't going to be particularly sympathetic towards him.

Oh, I'd much rather he didn't commit suicide. I'd prefer that most people don't commit suicide.
Being mean on the internet is bad in a lot of cases. Yelling at Ruby Rose because she's "not gay enough" to be Batwoman or whatever is shitty. Yelling at Kelly Marie Tran because she had the audacity to be a woman in a Star Wars movie is shitty. Mobs of fucking weirdos hounding people because they don't like the direction something went are bad.
I'd even argue that initially Filip should've been given the benefit of the doubt. One case of plagiarism is bad, but he may have had a reasonable reason for doing it, so just fire him and that's be the end of it.
But then he went full Reality Show Villain and it turns out he has a long history of bad activity with no mitigating circumstances, so fuck him.
Psychologist here speaking, I do believe that he could have some kind of mental illness, but it's more to psychopath, sociopath, borderline or immaturity. This is what we can guess based on his actions. (Plus the reports from friends that now feel used by him paints a picture that maybe he is more a psychopath)
What we don't know for sure due lack of any data is if he has mood disorder.
But again, some times people are just bad, and we try to believe that no one would make such things in normal circumstances.
Never understood the "witch hunt" argument. I may be wrong here (no native speaker, so the idiom could be lost on me), but isn't "Witch Hunts" supposed to be about looking for things that doesn't exist? If actual proof exist (and more is being found) that means this couldn't be "Witch Hunt", no?
It's so gross too.
It implies that someone afflicted with mental illness could do his shit too and we should be wary of them.
Like seriously they don't have enough shit thrown at them already with all people already seeing them as a step removed from mass shooting already.
I'm gonna go check the Doom Switch review and other Doom reviews real quick.
You come of like one of those lawyer types that tries to go for the insanity plea in a murder case.
You are exactly correct. It literally can't be a witch hunt.
What we have are idiots who jump to defense force mode, using trump-infected jargon.
In psychology, are the default state of humans are to act in ethical, empathetical ways where any deviation is due to having varying degrees of mental illness?
I just think he's lazy and dumb to either not understand what plagiarism is or to challenge the internet.

There's no witch hunt
The guy challenged people to find more examples of plagiarism, and they're doing exactly what he asked.
I have to believe, and I mean have to, that he wanted people to just uncover everything so he could get it all of his chest at once. He's been compeltley exposed as a fraud inside and out.

The last update I saw was the plagiarized Bayo 2 and resume. What else has been found since then?
Being a sociopath is a mental disorder and it can influence peoples behaviour

This is Filip to an absolute t.
I'm wondering what else about Filip's past Jason is looking into. It just gets crazier and crazier.
The definition of mental illness includes checking if the problem does harm to the person himself or to others.
But if there is choice than it isn't.
The hell? so your rebuttal is to pick apart my sentence word by word instead of comprehending the meaning behind it?
For all we know he's just like that at work and funtion like a decent person outside of work.
He's just a thief, no need to find him an out that could explain why he's acting like an asshole.
You have never met him and are not qualified to diagnose him with anything. Please stop
I bet he forged his college transcripts, never even graduated.
Well, even if there is a 'witch hunt', it is one that he invited himself since he challenged people to find more of his plagiarism.
These types of 'I'm so better than the rest if my forum patrons' posts are so annoying to see.
Your meaning is bullshit tbh. Shielding his unethical actions by claiming it will drive him to suicide with no evidence or reason. Fucking gross.
Keeping an open mind doesn't mean looking for any excuse in the book to try to show how an asshole is just someone who is suffering from an illness.
You have nothing to base your diagnostic on and you have never had any interaction with him for all we know.
Do you also diagnose fictional characters to explain how they're sufferring from a mental disorder?
That definition makes sense. I don't see any illness in his plagiarism. I haven't read up with apparently new posts about how he treats coworkers. There's more information seemingly constantly.
It's part of the laundry list of excuse that is trotted out any time some white guy do something wrong.
"he shot up a church? must be mental illness".
Sometimes shitty people are just shitty.
I'm not sure if it's posted here but just read this comment on Boomstick's Dead Cell allegation video. Doesn't look good for the IGN.

don't do armchair psychology on a video game forum. bad and absolutely wrong move. just don't - stop it now!
Maybe Filip can come back on Youtube by hosting a Nintendo themed channel using a cute Muppet as a mouthpiece for his opinions and reviews...
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
To everyone saying IGN should change their hiring policies or to check for plagiarism, the best possible way to solve that is to do the Naughty Dog approach to new hires.
Stick the person in a room for a few hours and write something gaming related they are extremely passionate about without access to the internet. Give them a test on IGN history and major past stories. It would take 3 hours out of the day for the future employee.
If they will be doing editing devise a test with stock IGN footage and have them edit it the best they can in an hour or whatever.
Vet 5 past articles, reviews or editorials at random for 48 hours through HR.

I was thinking either one of his prior jobs was made up or he is a Russian spy. These work too though.
I think people are trying to justify his actions blaming mental illness because how stupid and obvious his plagiarisms were, but being dumb isn't exclude.
As if that's not valid sometimes?
Likewise you haven't met him either and can't for certain say why he did what he did. I'm just exploring possibilities.
And I'm not excusing jack shit so I'll just stop anyone before they even try going down that road with me.
That's a pretty nice generalization.
What's that line about every argument eventually devolves into a Hitler comparison? I feel the same happens with Trump nowadays.

There needs to be proof before we can say Fran stole something, that would be really shocking to me since he doesn't seem like the guy who would do that.
Yes, always.
To the point that it is even used as a defense by perpetrators and a deflection method by politicians.
The guy was just an asshole who stole for a living.
Please do not 'explore possibilities' around metal illness. It is insulting to others who suffer from actual mental illness and highly inappropriate. You are not qualified to diagnose anyone with anything. Stop
