[@fireb0rn]

Hi everyone. Honestly, I feel pretty guilty and not too great about my wife being brought into this. And I really appreciate everyone's support. But she also makes content, streaming soulslikes and other games on Twitch, and posting videos to KZbin. I think it would be a really nice show of support for her if you stopped by or dropped her a follow. twitch.tv/vampycatxo youtube.com/@vampycat UPDATE: The original video has been taken down through a copyright takedown. The basis was showing a screenshot of MrBadim's son's Roblox game. In fact, the copyright takedown was sent using the name of Artem Starygin, presumably his son. I am in the process of finding legal representation to fight this.

[@Whywouldkosovosupportpalestine]

Dude that guy was isn’t harassing you, he was just asking a question in a weird way, if anything you were harassing her

[@CH-wn4le]

Sucks that Badim decided he couldn't refute the allegations, so he decided to target someone close to you. It's not your fault that Badim is a p.o.s. and is throwing a temper tantrum over him getting called out for his bull. I hope you stop blaming yourself for him being a living example of every reason why society as a whole can't have nice things. We're here supporting you FIre!

[@notZabami]

@@destroyer4929 What's funny is that Vadim provides no proof that his daughter actually created the art, so if his daughter didn't create the art, and he gave his daughter the credit for his art, just wanted to brag that his daughter had good art skills, he basically just made himself look like an idiot and bad parent in order to brag about his daughter's art (in his opinon) 'skills'

The irony of HIS MUM asking YOUR WIFE AFTER FOLLOWING HER INSTSTAGRAM "why is your husband (fireborn) stalking my son?" AS IF SHE AND MrBadim DIDNT JUST STALK AND FOLLOW THE WIFE THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS? The lack of awareness is mindblowing.

It makes perfect sense and isn't hypocritical if you don't view women as real people who should have full rights, and instead view them as sexual objects. A man making fake sexy women for other men to wank to is find because it's a man doing it in a way that other men consent to. A (married) woman dressing in a way a man finds attractive is wrong because she's inflicting her beauty on him, and effectively sexually harassing him by not being sexy in a way or time he consents to. It's effectively the same as someone watching porn at work, they're bringing an inherently sexual thing into a non sexual situation. A normal person who views women as people and not sex objects sees that it's ridiculous, and that women's bodies aren't fucking sex toys for men.

I'm actually glad you clarified your stance on adult games in general, while I didn't think you were coming down on it in general you calling it degenerate did make me do a little double take. But yeah, I wouldn't even care about the money laundering thing if it's the only way someone can make money off of adult content in the country, but the fact that the games are full of stolen work, exploiting kids, involved in scams, not to mention his own creepy behaviour and the fact that his adult games are just. THAT shit. I think you 100% did the right thing publishing this well-researched video.

[@scientificthesis]

Actually fireb0rn does maintain his stance on Vadim's games in particular being degenerate not just for the fact they steal work from others (but not necessarily adult games in general). He makes a little joke that when he said "degenerate" he was referring to atomic fabric. "Degenerate" is a term used in chemistry to describe atomic structure and makes no sense in that context.

Damn, I cant believe you commented the exact amount Badim will claim he made from the Otaku Greenlight Bundles in his next reply.

[@GIRGHGH]

So he claims the video didn't have enough research, yet he's claiming the research was to the extent of stalking? Dear lord what a pathetic attempt.

[@benjamingoodrich7520]

One thing that has always interested me is how people argue. The use of evidence, the use of logic, the use of emotion, all of it. Looking at Badim, he has a very consistent strategy for how he approaches criticism and arguments. Starting from the beginning, he LOVES his use of vacuous truths (statements that are truthful and accurate, but otherwise irrelevant; "the sky is blue" is always right but rarely helpful) and ad hominem attacks, with the intent of spreading misinformation. Of course, these are mixed in with outright lies, but the use of truthful statements is designed to make things difficult to analyze properly. This is his goal with stating fireborn 'stalking him and his daughter' and 'believing Mr. Badim and BadimGod are the same because they share the same name.' Both statements could be considered a version of the truth but are definitely stripping context out of the situation. Most people who are already willing to overlook or ignore evidence of Mr. Badim's misdeeds will not be convinced by the video, so they will simply use these points to attack fireborn. Most people who are convinced by the argument or willing to support fireborn regardless of the evidence will ignore any legitimacy to the claim in order to defend him. (As a side note, fireborn does do a little bit of ad hominem attacks and vacuous truths as well. All evidence pointing towards BadimGod and Mr. Badim being the same is purely circumstantial, and attacking the quality of the games for being derivative is not very healthy, especially if these were produced by Studio Orange/Mr. Badim's students, as develops starting out for the first time will often emulate their favorite games in order to get a feel for what to do and how to do it. Of course, Mr. Badim goes far overboard to the point of outright plagiarism and demonstrates exactly why such copying isn't healthy for game development overall, but the point still stands. It's important to note that, even if fireborn is using these types of fallacies in his arguments, there isn't anything wrong with that. He cites most of his sources, and these things happen with emotionally charged topics. Just felt the need to point them out.) All of this pales, however, to his favorite element. Red herring and strawman arguments. These are two sides of the same coin when it comes to debating. Strawmen create fictional boogeyman that the debater is fighting, such as the supposed Steam card key scammers, and red herring are supposed benefits that support your position, such as the prizes the students at Studio Orange are receiving. If you were working a job, and the boss offered a 'prize' in exchange for a successful job completion instead of pay, it would be likely you would soon be searching and in need of a new job. It's his 'Elite Games' company, with more than just him except not really. It's fireborn being a crazy stalker. As a side note, while it may not seem to be a threat now, I would get with your lawyer and get something taken care of ASAP. It's likely Mr. Badim has criminal connections, and it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility that he wants to manufacture and frame you for harassment to get your video down and blacklist you (hence why he wants to talk to you in person). You probably know that already, but I figured I should mention it (hey look at me I'm so smart).

[@drdca8263]

Hm, that’s not how I use the phrase “vacuous truth”. I use it for things like, conditional statements where the hypothesis is false, or universal quantification over an empty collection. For example, (as it isn’t snowing near me right now) it is a vacuous truth that “If it is snowing near me right now, then I have already had breakfast today”. Or, another example, “All of the ears growing out of my feet are green and shoot sparks”. These are both vacuous truths, in the sense of “vacuous truth” that I’m familiar with.

[@scientificthesis]

I agree! It's interesting seeing the contrast between how Badim handles an argument versus how Fireb0rn does! You are right in pointing out that Fireb0rn does use ad hominem partially in his arguments as well but I do not think that is malicious but more likely rather just a consequence of writing an hour long script and getting sidetracked/emotionally charged while in the flow.

[@mikeparradise9333]

He aint beating the child labor allegations lmao

[@bee33777]

How on earth did Badim think this would go his way?? Keep it up fire, your investigative videos have been really informative and enjoyable

[@radiant9dreamtide]

I knew that this man would be the kind of person to respond poorly to a video made about him

[@TheKnowingKnot]

Wow this is absolutely insane, The distances people would go to defend themselves on the internet are way beyond what should be socially acceptable. I myself have not yet watched your video about MrBadim, and yet simply judging by this response he has shown it's clear that this guy is acting way too immature for anyone to even consider any defense he would make towards the criticism given to him, It's incredible the sort of behaviour on the internet in our digital age, but that is to be expected since this digital world acts as a screen to protect people from facing the kind of responsibilities they would face in the real world.

[@funkypinku]

bro messed with the wrong youtuber

[@Spifyninja]

You know a man is innocent when his response to allegations is harassing the accuser's wife (and getting his mom to join in) and creating reddit posts that don't even include a link to the alleged claims.

[@lumonetic1124]

aaaaand now the badim video was taken down too. can we reach 3 in a row? find out next time on the worlds crappiest video takedown system

[@Buyo200]

Fire be careful. I know you're an intelligent man with a just heart but people who do these kinds of scams are not logical and do not operate on morals. It's cool that you're not intimidated and I know you're doing the right thing, but please don't neglect your safety.

[@Yetta-meta]

Like the one guy who got his house fire bombed

[@FunnyFr3sh05]

"I am currently being harassed by an individual who goes by the name of 'god' " is a wild sentence

[@TheSkribeOfSirkles]

On the bright side of all this, I’m super happy to see that this random community of bug game enthusiasts I became involved with over a year ago is lead by awesome people and has awesome and supportive community members. Everything and everyone seems super evidence focused and logical thinkers… and that (In my opinion) Fire is doing absolutely everything 100% correctly in this situation. Including calling out this scumbag in the first place. And, I’m so happy to see this amazing community response from everyone here in the comments…

[@SorasShadow1]

i was on newgrounds during that era and remember seeing a couple of this guy's posts, and even saw a handful of comments trying to call it out as theft, so it was incredibly wild to click on a video in 2024 and go "oh, shit i recognize that screen name" outside of tumblr stuff i rarely know the "lore" of internet slapfights or infamous users so i'm still reeling a bit lmao hope y'all take care of yourselves and this encounter quickly becomes something to laugh at.

[@vessel__]

I literally just finished watching the other video and it was taken down right after, that’s wild

[@silphv]

Whoa so that JUST happened. I was wondering if he was talking about it anywhere but he's probably just finding out. So they saw his other video about being copyright claimed and thought, here's how we'll get him! (Also great policy as always KZbin, you really know how to support indie creators.)

[@littlebumgorf]

i found the reddit post before the mods deleted it, and it looks like a commenter suggested vadim copyright strike you for “using his art” when HE’s the plagiariser. but now your channel might be in for a second strike 😢 especially if KZbin doesn’t properly review the strikes

[@fireb0rn]

No worries, I would contest it and win.

[@littlebumgorf]

crossing my fingers! Hope you and vampy are ok ❤

[@squiddobutboy]

wait the OG video got taken down by badim frick

[@Dark_Knight373]

Wish I had seen the original, sadly it was copyright claimed.

[@paulm2518]

You're going after someone with absolutely no morals and is a known scammer. Be prepared for so much more of this sort of behaviour.

[@-HopeIsNeat-]

This is absolutely insane how could he possibly believe responding like this was a good idea?

[@reinbew794]

What a shitshow. Hopefully this situation is solved.

[@gynsek]

I discovered you thanks to your Hollow Knight videos, so when I saw you published an investigation video I was quite surprised. I checked it and I was quite amazed by its high-quality which I actually didn’t expect from a gamer (a damn good one but not a journalist/researcher afaik), you deserve the praise for your work: your video is well written, the arguments are logical, and the sourcing is impressively massive. You and your wife have all my support, I am not surprised by Badim’s reaction but it takes courage to face it. Thank you for your wonderful work and for what’s it’s worth from a stranger on the internet, I’m sending you warm hug vibes!

[@fireb0rn]

Thank you for the kind words, gynsek!

[@EtronX348]

That fact that he called his mommy...

[@Auriorium]

Can we not have a Harassment drama on KZbin for 5 Minutes! This is just wow. Some people can not take criticism. I am Disappointed in MrBrain and his mom, like she is a grown adult, she should have known better.

[@scientificthesis]

To be entirely fair, it wasn't criticism since the purpose of the video is not to point out Badim's mistakes so he may improve upon it in the future. It was just a justified attack to point out how terrible he is (even clearly shown in this video).

[@bluelemonade415]

Could someone fill me in why this began since the OG vid is down? Like I get that he’s horrible and shady and being bad, but how did a god gamer like fireborn get dragged into this guy’s life?

[@plzletmebefrank]

Pretty sure he knew stuff about it because he was somewhatly into the flash game scene a decade or so ago. And more recently he decided to look more into it and get into some investigative journalism.

[@steohsama]

As a viewer, hearing moments when fire's voice almost shakes with disbelief and anger really get to me. I'm quaking too. I'm so sorry this guy is being such a horrible, petty, spineless garbage dump. I hope he leaves you and your wife alone. Good luck fire, I adore all your work and am cheering you on from afar!

[@deez4097]

Bro got exposed so hard he had to call his mum LMAO

[@Pondero36]

Fucked-up situation, but love you cooking.

[@defnotanny]

What was he thinking like "How can I make myself look innocent? Ah yes harassing someone's wife, then I will surely look like the victim here" With this reaction he just confirmed everything in the video

[@wollf3nst31n]

Bro they took down the Video AGAIN. I was literally just watching it and after reloading the site the video didn't work anymore...

[@Spiker985Studios]

I went to my watch later list to see the "Unavailable videos will not be played" notification. Went to see which video it was - saw the marker above this video,knowing that the original video was above this one in my list

[@KaldwinUnderscore]

I was watching it last night, went to bed half way through, just refreshed it to watch the rest with my breakfast and the video was gone lmao So fucking petty

[@Kromer_Hunter]

Damn how is his voice so level?

[@Glitter_H_Hoof]

1:22

[@dog.b74]

What a man baby Badim is lol

[@liloisgaming6815]

Went to his mother crying

[@amethyst..2]

Y’all are being so mean to babies

[@deez4097]

Bro got exposed so hard he had call his mum Lmao

[@hereticFox716]

Hey that's an insult to babies!

[@9fingergames494]

Loving the new documentary style videos, keep up the awesome work!

[@RoundtableKnightVyke878]

Yes because, forbid you expose the truth about people and bring dark to light these days. God bless.
