I'm with the Yogscast on this one. However, I see blame on both parties.

It would definitely be a shame if a friendship that has lasted for so long is now demolished due to some disagreements over #GamerGate.

My problem with TB is that he felt the need to publicly criticse the Yogscast, when he could have easily skyped them, and told them how he felt about it. They were friends, and it would not have difficult to have done so. His tweet came at the wrong time, everyone was attacking the Yogscast, and I don't think TB really needed to add his lot onto the pile. It didn't help that the whole fiasco of YogVentures had only just occured, where people who didn't even know the Yogscast decided to attack them based solely on the media, who clearly exaggereated the circumstances. Therefore, Lewis was most definitely in a bad mood, having been targeted on so many sides, and on many cases, unjustly.

On the other hand, the Yogscast did not really handle the situation very well. Lewis' Reddit post was highly defensive, and he accused TB of also having done sponsored content without disclosing it to his viewers. Whether true or not, it was not backed up, and therefore seemed quite dishonest, or at least quite a stab in the back. Yet this kind of blame could also be put on TB, as his public criticsm was not exactly kind towards his ex-friends. Further, Simon's posts on Twitter about TB were not kind at all, and engaging in that sort of argument is not the way to go about it.

I do hope this drama will resolve soon, I'm sure that it's quite an eyesore for both the Lewis, Simon, and TB.

Anywho, I still love the Yogcast. I can't say I'm a fan of TB's videos, I'm not that much of a cynical person myself, so those kinds of things do not appeal to me. Either way, best of luck to both of them.
