I'm unsure about some of the talents at MSM since it was claimed that they may have a blacklist and the CEO, Seth may be power tripping and gaslighting the smaller talents while treating the big ones with kid gloves to keep them in the company.

When the accusations were first brought up, Seth put out a tweet explaining that they don't have a blacklist, but do have a list of other streamers who are considered high risk. Which sounds a hell of a lot like a blacklist and comes across as some logic fallacy I don't know the name up. Basically redefining words to sidestep an accusation. "I haven't done X because that's not what X means."

There's also some problematic tweets the CEO made when he was 21 and probably contributed to f1nn5ter leaving and while he wasn't specific to exactly why, LordAethelstan also left after hearing about the accusations and vetting things on his end. Supposedly Seth was also shit talking Mythic, which his girlfriend works with, so that alone would be enough if he could verify it.

I'm using "safe" language here because this is still an emerging story, but going by the response from MSM supporters, they look guilty as hell of something.
