I Dont Have An Opinion - Tumblr Posts
I was specifically referring to the post you made saying that you're in the speedrunning Discord and the people there don't like Dream. I'm in it as well (I don't talk there though) and I very much agree that they don't like him. Tbh I don't have a super super solid opinion yet, but I lean towards defending him because I don't think there is enough info to concretely say he cheated. Kinda an innocent until proven guilty thing I guess.
i agree! i think people jumped on the information way too quick. the evidence looks damning because of the numbers, but those numbers were put forward by the opposite “side” to dream (calling them sides purely based on the clear division between groups).
i think it’s important to wait for whatever dream puts out because he’ll either prove himself right and the mods wrong, or vice versa. i can’t say anything in the actual math because i’m shit at math, but i definitely know that we shouldn’t only be considering data from one source, and should wait to see what other data will surface with dream’s rebuttal.
the numbers by the mods could be completely right or wrong, the thing is that we don’t know, and everyone just assumed the numbers were absolutely and irrevocably correct.
math can be wrong sometimes, (this next part is not including the mods and verifiers who worked on the investigation, obviously they know the statistics and math, but mistakes can happen which is why we always check and take from more than one source!) but the people saying it’s right often don’t know the math going behind stats and are simply agreeing because stats hold such a high damnability to a situation.
we need to sit on this one because we don’t actually know, but innocent until proven guilty is very important, and when i only have one side of the story, i cannot make an informed and objective choice in the debate :)
