I mean, you're not wrong at all....
but the guy changed his own veredict of the banner in less than 30 mins, i really cant see how he's more reliable than most leakers.
Dude says it himself: he has reason to believe it's fake, but until it's confirmed fake, it isn't. Dude's not a leaker, he's a journalist. I get that this is an alteration of my original point, but I believe it makes more sense to view him as a journalist, who compiles multiple sources and then moves forward with that, but still exercises caution and acknowledges the belief that they may be wrong.
The flaws in the image have been shown to be replicated by image compression and screen shotting. I'll need to find the source so dont take my word on it yet.
The amount of stuff this leak has going for it is suspicious. With more evidence piling every day and essentially no one has 100% deconfirmed it.
Image compression explains
some of it, but not all of it. The crystals are still wrong and that's not something you can deny.
Um, no? I'm upset because he gave conflicting information over the course of a couple minutes. You're also being a bit defensive and aggressive. I think the conversation could benefit from us all staying calm. I know this is a passionate heated subject; but personal attacks and sarcasm don't help the overall conversation.
Well, you know what they say:
The best defense is a good offense, or is the other way around? /s
I wasn't implicating you in that post. I thought making it a separate paragraph would make that clear, but I guess it didn't. I'm sorry for that, and for any hurt emotions that may have come from that. There still is the truth that some people are angry that Mystic said Geno and Shadow were likely, and then said that other characters were more likely. Sometimes the truth is ugly, but that doesn't mean that we should ignore it.
If I were a leaker or insider, I wouldn't waste anyone's time with anything that wasn't a guarantee. Would you?
Anything below 90-95% is only going to cause headache situations like this. It's better to stay quiet and let people have their peace of mind intact (though, it's too late for that now).
Understandable, but the dude isn't a leaker, he's a journalist, and he's doing his best to provide us with the truth, however murky and confusing it may be.
He's putting himself on the chopping block for our sake.
As has been said, "How could that be I wonder?" Everyone working under faulty assumptions, and from what most insiders have said, that's not out of the realm of possibility. Whether it's plausible, I'll leave that up to you.
And as for flip-flopping--Mystic flip flopped at the start and apologized for it. I admire the transparency, but it does make someone less credible. Despite that, I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt by trying to piece together what they said. But you can't misuse words like "confirm" and "unconfirmed" and using different terms "maybe" and "fake" 5 seconds later.
Thank you for always having a rational and well thought out opinion. We may disagree, but I'd like you to know that I respect you.
