you can't just let time pass hoping everyone forgets about it -- you gotta earn their trust back
While I support his idea 100%, we can't pretend that tony cares about the backdoor stuff in the first place, all he cares about the leverage it gives him against Aoki in this dumb one-sided clan feud.
It's not about the backdoor itself, it's that Aoki is his OPPONENT and his OPPONENT WAS CAUGHT USING BACKDOORS and his opponent's clan is ALL ABOUT PROMOTING AND RELEASING BACKDOORS.
Of course if you challenge this idea, he'll switch to something equally stupid like how often any member of QI has gotten banned / how X in QI is malicious / how Harvest has released more content than you.
