In light of the recent actions of GIAG’s owner, the editorial team has taken the decision to cease publication on GodisaGeek.com
We have each of us put years of work into this site, attempting to keep entertaining despite the actions of our estranged owner. His input on the site has been zero for several years, but we cannot continue to say nothing.
To be absolutely clear, we do not support, share, or condone Calvin Robinson’s politics or actions.
We have run the site independently of Calvin for several years now in the hopes that we would not have to lose the hard work we have poured into it, the access we have worked hard for, and the relationships we have developed. However, it has become increasingly clear that we can no longer separate the site from the owner.
As a result, the entire editorial team will be stepping down with immediate effect. We will create a new site and our future content will be published there, bereft of any connection to Calvin Robinson. It will be hard to start again, hard to walk away from the work we’ve done here off our own backs, but this is the right thing to do.
GodisaGeek will no longer publish work under any of our names. Whatever the future holds we will be working together to bring content that is fair, inclusive, and entertaining – as we always have. But we will be doing it under a new banner and we hope that some of you will come with us on the new journey.
We cannot apologise on behalf of Calvin, and will not. Our severance should stand as proof that we do not support or condone his actions, politics, or beliefs.
We will be in touch with details via our new social links and emails in the near future.
Thank you.

That's a very brave and vulnerable decision to do. Not only is it difficult to move social connections in such a manner - there's a good chance they will face a lot of harassment initially. And I can't imagine they don't know that, and still made that decision.
I hope we'll see more actions like this the coming year. We absolutely need it.
I remember a time when bringing Internet memes and trolling culture into the real world was cringey and uncool. Apparently that time has long since passed.

Unfortunately, it's less about those actions becoming cool and more about how the population size of uncool idiots are on the rise.
