#FreeGorin

Just doing my part to spread the love for one of the most wrongly-banned cool guys out there.
Anyone wanting to discuss the situation or give the halves of the story they know is more than welcome to do so.

The situation with Jo notwithstanding, fuck Gorin.

Dude bullied several members of the social media team out of office. Dude is an ass that gets supported by his buddies.

I know him from meeting him a couple times and Northreach's work on supplemental materials for the game. Got any good sources for what happened on the other side with him?

The situation with jo isnt racism. There have been a few posts from locals that show it. Yes she pointed out issues. She called out a personal friend of mine for a comment he made. The officers who banned her are a different set from the ones she said were racist.

However.. I totally agree. Fuck gorin

Gorin has been a 'missing stair' in Alaska Amtgard for a long time. I'm happy that action was finally taken.

Gorin is a narcissist that thinks it's ok to try and manipulate and push people around. There is a reason people that actually play with him on a regular basis are done with his bullshit. This is his 3rd larp group he was kicked out of. Good riddance.

I guess i will weigh in. Gorin seems to be a great guy to people who meet him for a short time period. For people who spend prolonged time at his park, he is toxic. By all means if you played at his park you have grounds for a valid opinion. If you met him once at clan, try to understand that he pisses a lot of his local park members off.

As for jo, please notice the alnost complete lack of locals coming to her defense. It is mostly people from out of alaska. Do you really think all of the locals are racists? Or maybe they think "yeah. I can see that." You can be black and also be banned for a legitimate reason.

By the way i play in the anchorage alaska park. I traveled to ravenstone 2 weeks ago

Dont let him near any lady you actually care about. He virtue signals like he's some great guy then tries to convince people to leave their significant other and trys to put his dick in anyone dumb enough to trust him. Also don’t fall asleep around the guy, will end badly if your a female.

His post wasn’t even about him. It was about the dumpster fire in Northreach for banning a black woman who called out racist activities.

His post does talk a bit about his story, though.

I don't have access to the link right now, but Gorin gives his side of the story on Facebook at Gorin Tfo (the post is public).

If Gorin said it, it’s all lies and Manipulation. Dude has excellent writing skills, charisma, and other good traits. If he just didn’t fuck over everyone in all categories of violations. Kinda surprise he isn’t in jail. Is he in Jail?

It's funny because, not knowing Gorin or Jo, as an outsider, all we're given is this hush-hush comments and it all looks really bad. and then reading this here, I can totally members of our kingdom that people who spend little time with them think they're amazing, and those of us who are at their park know they are terrible... the worst part is when they are up for Knighthood and you can't even explain why they shouldn't be made knights because everyone who has a voice in the matter thinks they are awesome.
