Paul Ryan: Not That One (The Jimquisition)

[@XAssassinTotX96]

Paul Ryan will be a legendary arc in this anime. Almost as good as the digital homicide arc.

[@paladin400]

Not that one

[@zerg539]

Personified Persona eh its probably going to be a fairly short arc though not the multi season conflict of the DH saga.

[@XAssassinTotX96]

Eville Caston Would you be surprised if it turned out that he'd be lying about his own health issues? I'm half expecting that at this point. Hell, I'm quarter expecting Paul Ryan (Not That One) to turn out to be Paul Ryan (That One)...

[@Snout007]

I think Paul Ryan (Not That One) is living inside his head, detached from the real world. It's like, he likes to pee in his tea and then drink it and he is now pissed off because people pee in the toilers. Probably makes no sense, but.... Nobody can disprove that Paul Ryan (Not That One) pee's in his tea and then drinks it. Oh wait, now I remember. It should of been.... Paul Ryan (Not That One) pee's in his tea and drinks it and gets mad because people pee on him. Now that's a reference! ( may not be a good reference, but still a reference if you take your time to think about it)

[@beowulf2361]

Hey now that gives reptiles a bad name. I mean would you put a garter snake or a gecko on the same level as him?

[@crit-c4637]

It's clear that Paul Ryan (not that one) nit only has physical disability, but is also dealing with mental issues as well. His levels of paranoia are psychotic level, and mean that literally, no exaggeration. His paranoia about what others might believe about him or do to him (i.e. believing one writer knew when he goes to bed because of meds and waiting then to post an article at that time to stick it to him) have caused him to do some very harmful things to other people. He is the definition of psychopathic. Also he's clearly delusional, but anyone even without training in psychology can see that.

[@crit-c4637]

Oh and a pathological liar. So yeah, no sympathy for him when he's drug other people through the shit for their mental issues.

[@Argorok87]

Wait, so Paul Ryan (not that one) says at the start of his statement that if any of 'his' former writers want their positions back, they'll need to contact him because he can't remember everyone who 'worked' for him; despite later on, providing a full list of previous Brash writers who he believes are tied into a conspiracy against him? What?

[@mb2001]

Argorok87 Talk about headache fuel...

[@WTFisTingispingis]

Is this guy legitimately sane?

[@TapCat]

It's funny to hear Paul Ryan (not that one) bemoan the lack of professionalism from his unpaid reviewers. By definition, one must be paid in order to be a professional. He uses amateur writers to save a buck and is shocked when they act like amateurs (if his claims are even true). It's also bizarre that this long-time editor is apparently a borderline illiterate. His writing was riddled with errors that demonstrate a poor command of the English language. As far as I can tell, the guy isn't fit to edit a grocery list, let alone game reviews.

[@happyflea]

As sharing personal data (inc. medical information) is a breach of the 1998 Data Protection Act (section 2 subsection 1(e) specifically) and that there is a "reasonable expectation of privacy" when speaking to your employer about such matters this could lead to a prosecution being pressed by the ICO (Information Commissioner's Office) which would be my first port of call before considering a private civil prosecution as any magistrate or judge in such a case would ask what the ICO said on the matter. Punishment if found in breach of the act is a fine up to £400k, but probably far less given the breach only covers 2 people's' information. A fine levied as a result of a ICO prosecution would then prevent Paul Ryan from arguing that no damage occurred in a subsequent civil court hearing making it a matter of arguing about compensation amounts.

[@Nystariii]

I think it would only apply to one case though, wouldn't it? It said in the video that PR went trawling through one of the writer's FB to find the fuel for slander. If you post it on FB, it's still scummy as shit to use it against someone, but I don't think that'd count for breach of information.

[@happyflea]

Except they were a freelance employee paid in kind (exposure) rather than by monetary compensation. There have been rulings on similar matters in favour of this being so with volunteers working for charities and unpaid interns. I expect the same reasonable expectation of privacy holds here.

[@happyflea]

+TreeroyJ: Ah, but in English law you can enter into a contract by behavior alone (such as when you park in a car park you enter into a contract with the parking operator) in this case one would imagine (I don't know per se, but this seems likley) that there was some kind of verbal/written exchange of one person asking another to do something (write a review) in exchange for some payment (exposure) and the second party agreeing then fulfilling what is in law a contact, if a bit of a flimsy one. With this contractual business arrangement (perhaps "employed" is the wrong term, more like two persons/companies trading) comes some reasonable expectation of privacy (the phase was made deliberately wide to allow judicial precedent to define the limits though a series of test cases). Health records in precedent are treated as requiring especially good care and so with a (minimal?) level of expected privacy about a health matter as it pertains to a matter of fulfilling a contractual requirement may have been due. I'm not certain (not my area), but if they were my client I'd err on the side of giving it a go. Submissions to the ICO are free so worth a shot.

[@dplocksmith91]

It would have helped Olly's case to not share that he had not revealed that he had a mental illness to Paul. The fact that he did speaks to his commitment to transparency.

[@LateNightHalo]

Jim we are never tired of hearing about Paul Ryan (no, not that one) Its refreshing to see you attacking the awful practices of these people

[@ByBy001]

As a women with a disability and a mental illness, I am disgusted that this guy would want to be excused for his shitty behaviour because of health issues, and throw mentally ill people under the bus! People are still held accountable for their actions even if they are sick and paying people for their work is not something hard to grasp for someone in good enough shape -physically and mentally- to manage a website!! If this guy is in a wheelchair, he KNOWS how hard it is to live without money, yet he doesn't pay anybody!! He is despicable!

[@chrisdixon4153]

[@GretgorPooper]

Paying an author in exposure and then removing their names from the credits once they quit is like demanding a former employee to return their salary after quitting.

[@Arbron]

Should we make Paul Ryan (not that one) the honorary third member of Digital Homicide? It seems like he'd fit right in.

[@SsnakeBite]

So basically, Ryan's justification for his actions is that the changes reviews and their scores because: - the reviewers are either inexperienced or inappropriate for the game in question, despite it being his job to ensure he assigns the right work to the right person; - that he somehow lets writers publish their work directly without requiring him to review their articles first, meaning that inspite of being chied editor, he only does any editing after the fact; - that he doesn't want to give an opinion that contradicts the general consensus despite the fact that the entire point of a review is to give your opinion on a work to help customers decide if something is worth buying, the very premise of a review being that none of them is wrong because they are entirely subjective; - and that he lets developers dictate how reviews should be written and what scores should be given, contradicting the sole purpose of a review site. Paul Ryan (not that one), when your excuse still makes you come off as an incompetent, unprofessional git in spite of it being utterly dishonest and full of outright lies, just give up while you still have a tiny shred of dignity to hold on to. And also, don't hold your writers to professional standards if you're not going to treat them like professionals. EDIT: oh and he's also one of those people who tries to spin their bullying, abusive antics as a "code of honour", said code I'm sure only affecting everyone else. Of course he would be the type.

[@ComputerWhiz_]

I own my own news website and use many volunteer writers myself, but I would never treat them the way that Paul has done. When someone is working for you for free, you can't bite the hand that feeds you. I always treat my writers with respect, even personally recommending them to other paid websites that may be interested in hiring them. Have helped a total of 3 writers get a professional job on other websites and I hope to keep doing so in the future.

[@tychoazrephet3794]

I probably received around 4 emails offering myself work within a fortnight. I had shown my colleague the email wondering who the hell was this creep. Years later I'm incredibly glad I refused to work for him. Paul Ryan (not that one) is a fucking ghoul that legitimately gave me the creeps when trying to scout for writers. Honestly not surprised this all came crumbling down. Even back then it felt like something didn't add up right.

[@ColeVecsion]

Paul Ryan "shut up, Meg!"

[@ricojes]

not that meg

[@gulpirak]

Scummy as Ryan's defamatory statements are, you, sir, have done a funny.

[@Cyberdyne12]

No issues here for covering this more. It's obvious this hits home for you Jim.

[@TheSavWolf]

I hear instrumental Megalovania in the background! I need a link! Thank God for the description!

[@NHSynthonicOrchestra]

Lupa 'Voruum hi, that's my cover you can find the links in the description:)

[@falloutghoul1]

Never trust a Paul Ryan.

[@Thephantom95]

falloutghoul1 Not that one mate.

[@maninthemists2299]

No, don't trust that one either.

[@murciadoxial8056]

paul + ryan = evil piece of shit

[@MADARAISEPIC1]

Never trust anyone with two first names

[@DeadCamper]

Never trust A GHOUL. No, wait, that's ableist.

[@pianomikey0]

I'm sitting here with a bona fide severe brain injury (car accident while running), almost 3 weeks recovered, catching up on jimquisition after falling about a month behind. There is something shockingly sleazy , shockingly, about the mere idea of other people laying out my injury as a method of discrediting my argument. By all means attack my argument, but not my disability! Frankly, I'll share it, I'm open about it to strangers on the internet and strangers at the cafeteria or in line at the drug store. But it is MY information to disclose. Wow. Now mock away, since I'm usually in bed by 8pm :D

[@jacobp7037]

Let's see, you don't pay them, take away writers credit if they stop working for you, and edit scores when you don't personally agree with them. So yeah, a couple hours and 400 words is more than enough for you Mr Ryan. In fact, you should be glad you even get that much. Enjoy the upcoming Libel case.

[@alaeriia01]

jacob p Is the brief at least 400 words?

[@gump5ter01]

It's more content like this I want to see !!! Not that I want these situations to take place in the first instance but where there is money their will always be the select few that will exploit it and videos like this need to be supported to keep awareness up in a community that isn't exactly main stream media !!! Well done mate !!! This is why I pay my patreon !!!

[@Rakinjo2]

13:59 - Oh my god, I'm crying. x) Jim, you pulled that off wonderfully!

[@pronounsinmybio]

"Yes, that one!" *Sudden Ted Cruz!* Three years later and that still makes me laugh.

[@Mega1UpMan]

In an alternate universe, this Paul Ryan IS that one

[@Bred0nSch00lV2]

Meg doesn't rhyme with me. It alliterates. Thanks for the exposé. :-)

[@Player_Review]

Great intro! Love it when it is mixed up and I don't have to turn down my speaker volume for the heavy metal.

[@ruggedlemmings9163]

Any week with a double-dose of Jimquisition is a good week. Also: thanks for that bit with the glove at the end. I needed a good laugh today and that supplied it. :^)

[@ignition8047]

Where did Chipp go, is he still in jail?

[@Greger88]

I like how the Wikipedia page lists "Paul Ryan (not that one) - brash Games"

[@skynet4496]

He's a psychopath like the other Paul Ryan.

[@orian57]

This was one of Jim's funniest in a while. They're always good and interesting and worth a chuckle but some real belly laughs in this one.

[@JonTheGeek]

13:18 megalovania tho. Also I've been binging these videos all day now, and you're like the funniest guy to present things like this.

[@Jfieldsend94]

So is the writer with mental health issues going to press charges or sue him. someone really needs to knock him down a peg or two.

[@MintyArisato]

I hope she does. He deserves to literally pay for outing not one but two writers illnesses.

[@Brakiros]

and because its illegal in the UK and isn't Brash UK as well? That means he's really gonna get it

[@NoeLPZC]

I don't know about Meg, but if Paul Ryan (not that one) learned of Ollie's mental issues from his Facebook page then there's no way he could (or should) be sued for that (assuming it was a public post).

[@Jfieldsend94]

NoeLPZC If the information was public then it was just a really sleazy and disgusting move, but I don't think megs was public knowledge, even if it was, I think you would have to check the specifics of what the actual law states. I imagine it just mentions for employers not to disclose personal details about an employer, like if they released her address, even if it was already out there he probably could still be sued.

[@Jaxymann]

Try as I might, every time I hear him say Paul Ryan, I always think of the bastardly Speaker of the House.

[@MLGeoff]

Not that one.

[@zennim125]

never name your children paul ryan nothing good comes out of this name

[@stinrios]

I'm sort of upset that it took me so long to find my way to your channel, good sir. Thank God for Jim Sterling

[@ayinz3363]

When Jim narrates Paul Ryan-not that one, I smile uncontrollably and find it very appropriate.

[@JustaGuy_Gaming]

The internet is really turning into the E-Sweat Shop of the decade. If you want to go on about unpaid and at times under age labor look no further than all those websites that use moderators, editors or even writers for no real benefit. All those people who submit articles to Wikipedia, moderate forums so the companies themselves don't have too etc. Even KZbin basically relies on users to self moderate the site, even if the Hero's program seemed to die. All this leads to people putting serious hours into a job they get no money or recognition for doing, all so a multi million dollar company doesn't have to have paid staff doing the job.

[@kieransaul2711]

All of the former writers of Brash Games got great exposure off of the downfall of Brash Games, so in a way, I suppose Paul Ryan (not that one) really did keep his promise.

[@WarriorWolfLRB]

Praise the sun!

[@Intothevoid-NIB]

And thank God for Jim fucking Sterling, son.

[@ryanhuber8351]

WarriorWolfLRB yes

[@TheAuthorizedJay]

Praise the Jim fucking Sterling...sun.

[@ken5918]

son ftfy

[@LckeStudios]

Try tongue but hole

[@DarkKnightCuron]

I feel like I appreciate this form of journalism that you do far better than your previous piece. But hey, keep crackin' on, man.

[@unicornhero94]

The Jimquisition has been pure fire lately. I'm loving it, and thank GOD for Jim.

[@HuffdrewPaint]

I like thinking Paul Ryan is the Shockmaster of game reviews.

[@paladin400]

Not that one

[@IndyX]

Lo Debacle hey don't insult John Tenta. Earthquake was awesome!

[@TrippleCyan]

Well, honestly, that one too. They're both pretty much The Shockmaster of their fields.

[@Joe90h]

To be fair, Shockmaster's botched debut was the fault of whoever put a bloody beam of wood a foot off the ground inside the wall he was meant to crash through. Paul Ryan's (Not that one) misgivings are his and his alone.

[@PeteStaiano]

Who knows what to think of all of this. All I'm sure of is that Paul Ryan's former staff were deeply AFFECTED by his actions.

[@Window_Hero]

Oh my god... I didn't even see this video because it came out off schedule. This is amazing.

[@princy600]

Jim, you are truly a gem. Never stop never stopping.

[@brentkeller5209]

I'll admit, you swear a bit too much for my tastes, but you are incredibly good at what you do. I look forward to seeing what else you put out.
