Kotaku editor threatens legal action

Welcome to another video. Today, there's some news about Alyssa Mercante, the infamous Kotaku journalist, who is now threatening to sue Smash JT. Yes, she's threatening to sue him for talking about a situation that, to me, is more than a little odd.

You see, there are situations where you might feel there's defamation or tangible harassment, but if you've followed the incidents since Smash JT started the #EndKotaku campaign, you'd see the sequence of events: her getting upset to the point of contacting his wife, trying to cause strife in their relationship, him talking about that in a video, and now, her threatening to sue him. It's hard to make sense of it all. Any rational person can see what's going on, but that doesn't stop the madness when someone with the reach and influence of Kotaku's employee is involved.

What's particularly interesting is that she picks on a channel like Smash JT's, with about 25,000 subscribers and a handful of members. He's a nobody in the grand scheme of YouTube, yet the truth he speaks and the facts he presents seem to affect her deeply. It's ironic that she, who once messaged Smash JT's wife to harass and threaten his family because of the videos he makes about her, now plays the victim. She tries to silence him with a lawsuit, but it's laughable. She has no case.

Alyssa Mercante is a cry bully, plain and simple. She dehumanizes herself by her actions and then blames others when they call her out. She tries to use her position at Kotaku to make people believe her narrative, but the truth always comes out. Smash JT is just a YouTuber reporting on what's happening. He's not creating websites or contacting family members. He's simply sharing the facts.

Her claim that he emboldens people to harass her is hysterical, coming from a journalist who fails to tell the full story. She says he dehumanizes her in his videos by showing her own tweets, yet she refuses to take accountability for her actions. Several lawyers have been consulted,..
