Introduction
This (on the right) is PirateSoftware
He's otherwise known as Jason Thor Hall - or more importantly - as Maldavius Figtree, his online Fursona when he played Second Life.
He rose to fame by (ab)using YouTube Shorts. In these he shares his outlandish knowledge on a plethora of topics ranging from computer science (hacking), running a ferret rescue operations to working at blizzard. In fact, he will mention at least one of the topics within 10 seconds. He's also a game developer and a streamer. The sad reality - he has no clue about anything. People tend to believe his words as he appears wise and smart and stuff. His KiwiFarms Thread has 160 pages of people rightfully hating and collecting his r-slurred statements. He's god's gift to mankind - and he'll make sure you think so too.
Drama
He's also a self-proclaimed "top-tier" World of Warcraft player with years of experience and an actual history of working at Blizzard - and then wimped out on his hardcore (permadeath) streamer guild OnlyFangs, getting multiple others killed as he ran away from a very survivable encounter. To clarify, various streamers are currently running a hardcore classic world of warcraft guild called OnlyFangs. The point of hardcore is that you only have one life, if you die at any point of the game, you have to re-level which may take at least 120 hours. So unlike regular classic which is piss-easy baby mode, dying is a big deal. That's why you need to trust your teammates in a dungeon or raid, as your in-game life depends on them NOT fricking up. Pirate did frick up. In fact, he fricked up so bad that the entire streaming world sans his paid shill buddy Asmongold is pooping on him. Rightfully so. Not only did he frick up, he also refused to acknowledge even a modicum of accountability, and instead iteratively double triple or quadruple downs on his original statements. The entire /r/LivestreamFail subreddit is full of threads pooping on him and it's genuinely the most endearing thing I've ever seen. Not even universally hated child male feminists are as despised. Never mess with !g*mers:
I won't go into more detail here because most of these threads are just hating for the sake of hating or other known streamers giving their extremely valuable opinion but
this is the original thread that started all of it - containing the now infamous clip.

Does he deserve the death penalty&&

Every day, I thank Science
that I was born early enough for my entire childhood to be spent outdoors
As for the lame WoW drama, I was never a hardcore player, but I was a serious raider in a very, very good guild for several years and then an unserious raider in a good guild for a couple more years.
1. The tank fricked up the pull
2. The tank told everyone to bail
3. While everyone is bailing, they decide to turn around and try to salvage the pull anyway? Dumb dumb dumb. Too late.
The guy definitely isn't playing like a top tier mage. He's playing like a rando in a PUG. Like yeah, neighba, keybind some rank 1 freezy-slowy spells for these situations. He did drop an initial blizzard shortly after they started running, but he has blink, so he could have gotten another spell in. But overall, he's a DPS and he did what the tank told him to do. When I was tanking, I loved that.
Basically, when the tank called it a day, that was the end of the fight right there. He didn't roach. He's just not that good of a player, so he didn't make the optimal play.
The thing people should be pooping on him for is using a program to make his voice sound manlier while streaming.

Yeah, I don't even like the guy but Redditors all act like they're god g*mers and would just save everyone and if you didn't do these 10 steps perfectly in 5 seconds ignoring the advice of the leader of the group you're a complete r-slur. 99% of the people in these reddit threads have never hit even 4/8M or whatever casual meme shit classic has that's equivalent.
