Nick Calandra has launched a smear campaign against me, 8-Bit Eric, with help from his friends Alyssa Mercante, John Phipps, and others. They're trying to label me as a pedophile and claim I shouldn't be around children. This attack comes in direct response to videos I've made criticizing their behavior as journalists. They've even contacted my job, trying to get me fired, even though my work as a YouTuber has nothing to do with my "real job."
The gaming community is getting rough, like a bumpy dirt road filled with trouble. Online platforms feel like a crazy world where people are always looking to cause problems. Recently, Nick Calandra and I, 8-Bit Eric, have been caught up in this mess. Nick, from Second Wind, has been using social media to attack me, causing personal and professional problems.
Nick Calandra, who used to be a big name in gaming, has started another fight with me. I'm known for my gaming content and my love for wrestling, especially my work with a wrestling camp for kids. Nick is making serious accusations about how I talk about women online, saying it makes me unfit to work with kids, especially young girls.
Nick’s angry tweets say:
"Remember, Eric runs wrestling camps for kids, including girls, and this is how he talks about women online. He shouldn’t be near children in any way."
"Since @8biteric made videos about me, let’s look at what a creep he is and his thoughts on women, using his own words. Sorry for putting this on your feed."
"I’m sure the parents of the kids you work with at the wrestling camp would have a lot to say about how you talk about women online. I don’t need to twist anything to show how creepy you are."
These tweets aren’t just disagreements or criticisms. They touch on serious issues of professional integrity and personal behavior. Nick’s strategy of attacking someone’s livelihood is back. Those who know the story remember how Nick and his followers targeted me before but failed. Now, Nick is trying again.
Don’t ma..
