FUCK IDENTITY POLITICS, COME BACK MARK!

GamerGate is not about transgenders, they are welcomed but we are not enforcing people to agree with them.

This is why many of us have been reading Breitbart even if we consider it shit. The article about GG were good and kudos to them. it doesn't mean we have to support anything they say.

This is what SJWs can't understand. They are supporting a pedophile just because he/she's one of them

[–]Dark_Sighed 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

If you can't stand a little criticism without going on a blocking spree & rage quitting then you're probably better off outside the movement. That's aGG behavior right there.

[–]BasediCloud 172ポイント173ポイント  (52子コメント)

Some lessons to be learned here

a) GamerGate is not an identity. You cannot control who is in it and who is not.
b) There are pro-SJW gamers identifying as the identity pro-GamerGate
c) Purifying the identity GamerGate of bad influences is cancer. That goes for driving out Mark, for attacking Breitbart, for removing /pol/, for purging shitposters, for making some content more equal (looking at you KiA moderators) and for leaving cause some who are in GamerGate like Trump

Stop playing identity politics. GamerGate is a scandal or a series of events. It is not an identity which needs to be kept pure.

This so hard. There's a number of people who think that we have to play the game by SJW or politically correct rules. I'm sure many of them have their hearts in the right place, but all that nonsense about how all conservatives are evil, or policing how we refer to people, it's all the bullshit SJWs wanted to instill into people. The fact that people assume we have to watch what we say for PR points, by denouncing all conservative thought or banning or bitching about people misgendering and deadnaming a pedophile means they have already won. I always make the comparison to how Rock and Heavy Metal has a long history of the media and puritans having used them as a scapegoat for almost every societal problem from juvenile deliquency to drug use to even devil worship. And not once did any of those musicians ever decide to change ir improve their image for PR points. They simply kept rockin out and doing whatever they damned pleased and kept the image of "sex, drugs, and rock n roll." And now most everyone considers many of them classics and legends and mock the moral conservative authoritarians of that era for believing such rubbish. We cannot allow ourselves to be tone-policed by these moral authoritarians now that they been given a liberal-blue paint job. We have to accept that no matter how we present ourselves, the media and these puritans have already decided on their narrative and use us as scapegoats for all their perceived sociatal problems such as racism and sexism. If you have a problem with people being conservative or refusing to use a preferred name and gender of a pedophile, then you should get over yourself, or leave it like Queeny did. Gamergate is diverse in ideas and opinions, tone-policing it will only serve to harm it in the end.

Reposting my old comment:

Tribalism is cancer because this is our tribe. We're gamers. Anything else is absolute bullshit.

I run far far crazy batshit insane right with my politics, but that doesn't matter because all I care about going into vidya is fucking vidya.

People talk about no enemies to the left/right. I think GG needs to develop a notion of no enemies to gaming, as long as they don't speak against gaming. Cautious of opportunists and bandwagon jumpers as always, but if one makes a concerted effort they deserve our respect. I have immense respect for Eron after all, but if he and I got into a political discussion we'd disagree on every single point. Doesn't change the fact that we're fellow travelers.

Wait, I didn't know people want to purge dudes who like Trump. I mean, I like Trump. I hate his policies and stances, but damn, he sure is a badass.

[–]zippyjon 26ポイント27ポイント  (6子コメント)

The KIA I remember welcomed everyone who cared about the sad state of video game journalism and the SJW lies that those journalists hid behind as a shield against criticism.

This included, as far as I remember, practically the entire political spectrum. Hell, I remember talking to some NRx dudes at GG in DC alongside Milo Yiannopoulos and Allum Bokhari. Hell, I consider myself right-libertarian. I'm even voting for Trump, partly because I think it would be hilarious if he won, and partly because I think he actually has the best chance of beating the Democrats in the general election. Normally I vote libertarian, but the Democrats are behind that whole preponderance of evidence thing in those sexual assault cases on college campuses, so that pushed me directly into the arms of the Republican Party. .

If that makes me the subject of a purge, then all I can do is tell those people to go fuck themselves. Check your PC crap at the door, not everyone agrees with you about everything. If someone doesn't want to use "correct pronouns", that might make them a dick in the eyes of some, but don't make yourselves into language police. As far as I'm concerned, let the people they're making fun of defend themselves.

[–]RobertNAdams 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

I disagree with Milo on a load of stuff. Politics, religion, how close a microphone should be held to your mouth, etc. But I don't let any of that get in the way of silly little things like objective fact.

Sure he has his agendas, but he reports facts instead of twisting them or making stuff up out of nowhere. I don't care that he's on "the other side" alone.

He actually does his job properly unlike half of these fuckwits, and he does it at a publication that hosts stuff I often disagree with. Like the "Brietbart Election Poll" filled with people that I wouldn't vote for (because it lacks Bernie Sanders entirely).

This kills the country.

Seriously, if you think he's the best candidate (I can't imagine what on earth would make you come to that conclusion, but okay), all the power to you, but voting for someone because it would be "hilarious" is not a productive voting methodology.

[–]___Rhand___ 14ポイント15ポイント  (1子コメント)

Actually, I say it's better to vote for a candidate because it would be funny if he won rather than voting for a candidate because he's black. Identity politics is killing this country much more than frivolous voting.

[–]EAT_DA_POOPOO 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

Voting for a candidate because he is black is equally as stupid. So is voting for someone because they are a woman or only voting on party lines.

Be informed and vote on issues. Vote for who you believe is the best candidate, everything else is noise. That's all I'm saying.

[–]zippyjon 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

He couldn't possibly be worse than Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, or any other Republican Candidate besides possibly Rand Paul (who seems too wishy-washy these days). I'll roll those dice.

[–]Swordeus 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's not like he would be worse than any other candidate. plus he's more upfront about who he is and what he wants than any politician I've ever seen.

I remember when Obama was up for reelection, he flat out said that he was being disingenuous about his opinions and that he would change his stance on certain issues after he won the election.

That kind of shit makes me lose all faith in the government. So when there's a candidate like trump, who's a bit ridiculous, but is also unafraid to speak his true mind, then I'll absolutely take him over another two-faced politician.

Yeah. Trump's an asshole, but he's an asshole because he doesn't back down from his beliefs for political points. It's why if it becomes him vs. Hillary that I'm voting Trump - I'd rather have the country fall because the person in charge was doing what he thought was best rather than because they were trying to score some points with voters to further their career.

(In case anyone doesn't get that: Hillary has flip-flopped on her stance about gay marriage, saying whatever was most popular at the time. As such I have no clue what her true beliefs are and thus cannot trust her.)

The funny thing is that everything you've said are things that apply to you.

You've tried to drive people out of KiA for not meeting your standards of what GG is about (looking at you KiA mods). You've played identity politics by saying anyone that is GG and liberal is the enemy and not to be trusted. You've attacked e-celebs for them saying things that you didn't like.

Oh, and let's not forget /u/theone899 saying that you had contacted him about the KiA mods and said they were SJWs: https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/3hvu33/history_actually_its_about_ethics_is_an/cub11lq

How many other people did you try to turn against the forum? How many others did you message with your half-truths and context-less accusations?

Remember:

SJWs always lie. You've lied about KiA.

SJWs always project. You've projected onto the people who fail to meet your criteria of what a true pro-GG supporter is.

SJWs always double down, and this post is you doubling down.

But the exactly continues.... Why did he care some random didn't agree with him, let alone attribute that to all of gamergate? Why is someone who is against PC being excused for self triggering? People need to stop apologizing for things which should not be apologized for. He as a well seasoned adult should have kept things in perspective, and he didn't, over a few tweets from god knows who, I simply can't respect that. Just because he's an eceleb doesn't mean he should be held to lower standards. This is on him, he made the mistake of self triggering over nothing instead of dealing with it like an adult.

The problem is that this isn't an isolated incident, this has been happening for a while now. What happened to, "FUCK PR!" Seriously, I'm Filipino, conservative (under US definitions,) and I consider chosen-pronouns a privilege not a right. I do my shit, and so long as I don't do anything illegal, I don't give two shits. I've been posting here since the beginning of this whole scandal and before no one gave a shit about your opinions only that you did things for GG, and not do anything stupid i.e. Illegal, but from what I now see, stupid now seems to mean, antiPR.

[–]EAT_DA_POOPOO 6ポイント7ポイント  (6子コメント)

Funny thing about that. Your don't get to pick your pronouns. They aren't for you. They are for other people to refer to you. You have no right to enforce what other people think about you.

Reddit in general, and KiA by extension has always been SJW-lite. As soon as someone claims "trans" status, logic is thrown out the window and all thought must defer to the PC police.

I come to KiA for the population, but elsewhere for candor.

[–]RobertNAdams 3ポイント4ポイント  (4子コメント)

They are for other people to refer to you. You have no right to enforce what other people think about you.

I kinda agree with you on principle here because, well, you don't. But why not be polite?

To clarify, if someone were to say "Well I'm actually a woman and not a man so don't call me 'he' you shitlord!" I'd apologize for genuinely not knowing and then ask them to dial back the hostility. Because yes, even though said hypothetical person is being dickish I like to give the benefit of the doubt. (However, if they continued to be an asshole I'd be understandably less polite.)

If someone said "Hey, I really don't think of myself a man, would you mind calling me 'she' and 'her'?" I'd be glad to oblige. It hurts zero people in my eyes.

If someone said "Hey, I really don't think of myself a man, would you mind calling me 'she' and 'her'?" I'd be glad to oblige. It hurts zero people in my eyes.

I would oblige, because 1) I'm not intentionally trying to antagonize 2) being socially (as in do whatever the fuck you like so long as you're not hurting anyone) liberal I would most likely get flak from my peers.

That being said, I would argue though that this concession furthers what I believe to be part of the problem, which is detachment from reality and accepting specious claims as fundamental truths without critical examination.

What does it mean to be male or female? Can you define that without using circular logic or describing it surreptitiously substituting in the concept of a gender role? If we cannot get that far, how can we be having the conversation about what you "identify" as?

[–]YurilicaPurple, White, and Green 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I dunno. I just see them as identifiers and think that they really don't carry that much weight.

If someone is being a fucking tool, there's no difference between saying "he's a cunt" or "she a cunt".

I'm still trying to wrap my head around why the hell people attribute such weight to that shit. It's just an identifier. Shit, you might as well be a martian, i still won't give a fuck and i'll base my opinion of you on your actions and statements, not your preferred identity.

Want to be called a she or he? Fine either way - you'd still be a cunt for your actions.

Not giving a fuck about pronoun shit lets you focus on the actual issues and avoids identity politics bullshit.

    If someone mildly disagreeing with you on reddit is enough to cause you to leave you're either really oversensitive or you're Ellen Pao.

    Just a few days ago there was an upvoted thread about how SJWs are really right-wing conservatives and several main aGGros are really conservatives.

    Really? And how long did it take until the thread was buried?

    This subreddit isn't made cuddly for people on purpose. Threads aren't screened if they might offend people before they are posted, that's what the voting system is for.

    It is a KiA problem, not a twitter problem. Twitter you can balance it out easily by following numerous conservatives. KiA (the whole of reddit) is hostile to conservatives as soon as you reveal a conservative opinion while continuing to state everyone is welcome. And it is getting worse and worse the last 6 months on KiA.

    There was a mod who went full asshat just recently this week in the comments here. Not abusing mod powers or anything tho, just showing some pretty harsh contempt towards a poster said mod didn't agree with.

    That said, I spoke with another mod and they talked to me about how there were several high up mods that disagreed with their post, and that if any mod had been abusing their powers here that they would be dealt with as needed.

    All that aside, I do believe there is a moderately sized group of people who will spam downvotes for anything not in the vein of progressive thinking. Which is sad imo, because instead of engaging opposing views, they'd rather just bury it in downvotes and then forget about it. Embrace your diversity my fellow leaderfags, you will be stronger because of it!

    "A conservative opinion" on what exactly? The only thing here on KiA I've seen conservative opinions on was in connection to Wu or some other transgender person that is involved with GG in some fashion. Does american conservatism only revolve around someone's genitalia or what someone choose to do with whomever in their bedroom?

    Or maybe my european mind can't grasp the many intricacies of american politics. Our conservatives (or at least, our conservative politicians) are also hung up on sex for some bizarre reason, but the have quite a lot of stuff outside of that topic.

    PS: I just realized something. How do you "balance out" stuff on twitter by following people of either political faction? Do conservative and liberal tweets mutually annihilate when they collide in your inbox?

    Some people think it's not a good thing to misgender someone simply because you have no respect for that person. It's just some people take their disagreement to Grummz to far and they "sound" like a thought police. But really that's just the nature of the internet, especially twitter.

    Grummz used the victim-child as a shield to justify to use "he" as the pronoun and he blocked many people who strongly disagreed with him. That's also very "SJW"-like.

    Seriously, this is blown out of proportion. Grummz is a good dude. People just need to chill the fuck out. People are bored as fuck and have nothing to do on a saturday.

    If someone has a problem with Kern's gender labels, it is up to that person to speak to him about it.

    That became a problem and an impossibility the moment he wrote this:

    https://archive.is/JCQtn

    This was after i replied to him that pronouns have nothing to do with respect. They're just identifiers. My personal approach: i call Butts a she because she's(AFAIK, correct me if i'm wrong) a post-op trans. She has no dick anymore, to be blunt. That's it. Calling a person by a certain pronoun has absolutely nothing to do with giving "respect" to them, which was Mark's original reasoning. I can call her a she and still consider her a twisted, vile human being that needs treatment. However, i did say to him that he's free to call her however he wants. Just that people won't understand it and some won't approve of it.

    But he didn't hear it and shit kept escalating.

    How do you read that archived tweet yourself?

    I got pissed off by it, to be honest. A lot of people did because they sure as shit didn't expect Kern of all people to raise the "if you disagree with me on this matter, you're X" - something that antis have been using for the past fucking year.

    I've had enough of that shit in the past year and there's no goddamn way i'll be quiet when i see it. I haven't been quiet when i saw antis doing it and i sure as shit won't be quiet when i see someone pro-GG doing it.

    I didn't know we had a socalled identity police in GG. Honestly I'm too old and uncaring to put too much thought into what I should call people. If they look like a female, I'll call the person she/her. If male, he/him. If the person then asks me to change it - sure why not. Not going to keep me up at night one way or the other. Now if said person acts as if I just mentally assaulted them because I gave them the wrong pronoun, that's probably around the time I stop talking to that individual.

    If Mark Kern is tired and done posting about aGG/GG, that's his call. He's a grown man and my one and only advice to him is 'do what you want to do'.

    It is exactly how it crashed and burned: Identity politics. Until then, it had promise to do real change, make a real difference. But people concerned about fake change, and virtual difference had to make it all about them.

    And now, as ever, GG marches towards it too.

    Niggerfag. Just tossing that word out there. Why? Because you know the last grassroots movement against the rich and powerful that was even remotely successful? Chanology. And they weren't afraid of "offending" anyone. Offending people was an unrelated aside to the task at hand. (Sure, it ended rough for them, but hell, they made a dent.) So if you're offended... Go away. The easily offended aren't needed. Not even as useful idiots. Because aGG will offend you. Far worse than misgendering some hairy pedo should.

    EDIT: That said, Mark needs to get over himself as one of those easily offended, as well. If he doesn't have the thick hide for it, it's better for his emotional and mental health to just be on the sidelines, doing what he wants to do. So kudos on him for doing so.

    Your edit alone earned you a upvote.

    Misgendering Butts was petty and entirely irrelevant to her being a certified pedo piece of shit, but him abandoninig the hashtag and blocking people over it made it him a SJW far beyond the ones criticizing him over it.

    I disagreed with him over his pettyness but unfollowing or blocking over it wouldn't even cross my mind.

    And yes, Occupy did turn into shit over the bleeding-hearts speaking on behalf of their own cartoon ideia of the oppressed, so while I disagreed with Kern on this instance, I'm far from supporting PC culture and its poison.

    It's called nuance and it seems highly lacking in both the PC thought police and a lot of the edgy-tryhards opposing them.

    Normally I have no problem referring to the preferred pronoun as long as it's not some bullshit like zir to show respect but Butts is not deserving of respect. Fuck that guy the sooner the FBI arrests that motherfucker (for pedo or piracy or hopefully both) the better.

    If you don't like what someone has to say , disassociate yourself, no one is forcing you to hear what they have to say. But you have no right to stopping them talking to others.

    In fighting Sjw and trying to keep up with PR , you have become what you first were against. In my eyes your just the same as SJW's .

Nyberg's a goddamned pedophile, it doesn't matter if she's a woman, a man, a space alien, a talking dog, or what. Nyberg's gender is nothing but a distraction.

    It's a flawed argument because this isn't about feelings. I don't give a shit about hurting someone's feelings, my issue is the mindset of "I despise you so I feel justified in treating you as subhuman".

    That's an SJW mindset. "It's okay to doxx Cherovich because he's a 'misogonist' " "It's okay to mail a syringe to Milo because he's conservative".

    The whole "But tho shall respect thy chosen gender" rule is obnoxious. It's the same as accepting Rachel D to be 100% black and to be shamed when it's called out.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm all for transsexuals being treated like normal people and not be harassed.

    The problem is...you don't. You pick and choose and apparently will use misgendering as a way to dismiss a transperson's identity. Is that phobic? I don't know. I don't think calling someone a faggot is homophobic (are you really "afraid" of them), but it's certainly bigoted and promotes stereotypes and does nothing but recall pain in someone's life. Things that they can't change. Can a born biological male stop feeling like they were born the wrong sex? Can't really know for sure, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

    Call Wu out for being a hypocrite, for being an asshole, for being a bad developer, for being completely fucking nutter butters, but to call her a "he" instead of a "she" targets her for something she can't quite likely change. It does nothing but dismiss a core attribute of who she is as a person. We already have a decent amount of scientific evidence to what can sometimes cause transgenderism this isn't even a comparison to "transracial". Find a peer reviewed, replicated study demonstrating such a phenomena if anyone should be expected to believe it, but until then transgenderism/ transexualism and transracialism aren't remotely comparable and I'd claim the latter makes a mockery of the former.

    They aren't necessarily making the claim that gender is scientific, but they can't "go outside of science because feelz". Anything that can be observed, can be quantified and understood through the scientific method. If gender exists, it can be studied.

    They're just using specialist sociology rhetoric to try to redefine how the rest of us speak.

    Agreed, but that's why I attempt to force them to define things properly.

    What I would like to know are the numbers. How many people feel this need to be defined a certain way? And is it a need to act a certain way, are they body dysmorphic, or is it just a strong desire to have society treat you a certain way?

    Before we redefine civil society, it would be nice to adequately understand the scope of this issue and properly characterize it.

    The only monster here is immaturity. These people mistake the echo chamber around them as everyone, when frankly how do thousands of people communicate with one person on twitter? They don't, social networks have some stronger hubs than others, and not everyone is directly connected, I"m sure everyones seen the infographics of social media. The people who will chatter incessantly or gravitate to certain individuals are not representative of a whole. Social media tends to make people gravitate towards people like themselves, which is the problem. The other problem is that big voices are big targets on social media, especially in culture wars, so he could have simply been targeted by those who wished to undermine and divide. I noticed people kept asking who was doing this, and he never could answer.

    People need to stop treating these people as victims, when they are people who simply lost perspective and triggered themselves. It helps nothing to legitimize this kind of lack of perspective, especially from people who are old enough to know better, it only sets up more people to use the same excuse for poor behavior.

    People who take social media too seriously need to get a sense of perspective.

    Both Kern and the users railing against him need thicker skins. Despite my gender issues I don't throw a hissy fit if someone misgenders me out of spite. I tell them to knock it off and if they don't, then I ignore it. I also don't expect people to fight my battles for me and if they do, I tell them to knock it off and then ignore it if they don't.

    However, this is the internet. Mark should know by now what kind of retaliation he was going to get, and he should also know that it wasn't from the majority. This is the same level of shit we claim to be no big deal to Sarkeesian and Wu. I would expect us to hold our own big-namers up to the same standards.

    Just because someone is out and just because don't mean they are anti-GG all of a sudden. Just means they are tired of talking about it, keeping up with it, writting emails, ect.

    But yeah, I don't blame him. The movement goes to cringeworthy places sometimes. I stopped talking about it on social media because it's pretty exausting to do so all the time and honestly... At times you guys get preachy, at times you guys are so desperate for a win or to not take something as a slight you'll do mental gymnastics, sometimes you guys are too tone-police moral fag, but most of all you guys do go overboard on the identity thing from time to time.

    Don't get me wrong, I still follow KIA news. I like GG as a watchdog. Some fun news still comes out now and again. Pretty much all GG means to me now is

    1) you think games journalism is corrupt garbage 2) You think games awards show are rigged by douches helping their douche friends 3) You know that the media colluded to push a narative and is doing what ever it takes to not admit fault no matter how damning the evidence. 4) Zero tollerance for SJW culture

    I'm not gonna tell you how to run your shit. After all I still come here and read stuff and anything I don't like I downvote (Much like many do to me when I shit on KIA on here). But I think Jim had a point, I think we get pretty circle jerky, and I think a lot of people here wear this as an identity and some people let this consume their life. But hey, at least you all ain't Anthony Burch... Or worse, someone who looks up to Anthony Burch. (shudders)

    I am one of the people who tweeted at Mark about the issue of him referring to Sarah Butts as 'him'. This is what I said

    @Grummz this seems like unpersoning. If someone does something you don't like, that doesn't mean you get to remove their gender from them.

    I think it stands on its own but to give it some more context I would say that this is not a new issue, this is something that's been dealt with in the past several times. For instance, a lot of people hated Muhamed Ali for various reasons - some just simple racism, others because of his stances on the Vietnam war/civil rights issues and his conversion to Islam and many of them refused to call him by that name, instead using his birth name, Cassius Clay. This was done in an effort to unperson him, to deny him the common courtesy of being referred to as the name that he preferred - to deny him any legitimacy in public life.

    If that was largely done by people on the right, the left is just as or even more guilty of doing the same, even in America in recent times. Take Rick Santorum, here was a man who said some things that some people didn't like, so instead of just engaging with those ideas critically, they proceeded to make his last name a euphemism for a disgusting byproduct of anal sexual intercourse.

    Being civil to people who agree with you is no great virtue, being civil to people who are not civil to you is. Civility and good manners should not just be a thin coating over an underlying savagery, ready to be discarded at the merest hint of blood in the water.

    If Mark Kern didn't believe that Trans people were actually the gender that they present and he was merely humoring them out of goodwill? then removing that courtesy because of Sarah's actions would perhaps be, however petty, understandable but as far as I know, Mark is a real supporter of Trans rights, which makes his actions in this case baffling to me. It's like if I (someone who is not a racist) got into a fight with a black guy and screamed "You fucking nigger!" And then when called on it, proceeded to say that I called him that because his actions had removed his right not to be called a nigger, and further, I just wanted to separate him from all of the good black people!

    He'll be back. I'm not even worried.

    Still though, it's a problem for GG that has been rearing it's ugly head more than often. This PC bullshit should stop and let people say what they want to say, if it's stupid, it's rope they hang themselves with. Seriously.

    So "don't criticize your own"?

    No, I much rather say "grow a thicker skin". Because speaking in public means being open to criticism as well.

    Yes, and what prey tell... Is the merit of their criticism against him? PC? Identity politics?

    Yes, he was being a douche, but the PC bastards were no better.

    Thats why i said let them hang themselves with their own rope. Just so happens the people with the longest rope were the PC bitches.

    Not when the fucking crying from the GG social justice crowd, about the goddamn pronouns, drowns out the discussion about the actual things that matter. If tone policing is the most important thing in gamergate, than gamergate is dead. All the SJWlite idiots can stuff a cactus up their asses.

    I don't see the big deal. All he did was decide he didn't want to talk about GG and Politics anymore. His next tweets expressed approval of beautiful voluptuous anime women with exposed navels. I don't think this is anything to worry about.

    It's a big deal because some idiots like to attack their supposed allies.

    SJW ideology is poison. All tone-policing and concern trolling should be rejected outright.

    let people be douchebags. The douchiest will hang themselves first, then the next, then the next. Wasn't our approach to douchebags was to give them enough rope? Why are we resorting to PC and PR bullshit?

    If anything, I prefer being respected as the level of jackass that I am, than to be looked up upon like a saint as the person I am not. This applies to Kern and those PC Fucktards.

    He comes off like a whiny bitch like Anita. I mean, Anita is still worse, but this whole "oh my god, criticizing me is harassment" shit needs to stop.

    Yeah, seems surprisingly thin skinned right now. Don't know what's up with that.

    I agree - ok, people disagreed with you, tell them to go fuck themselves, was that so hard? He can even write an article detailing his feelings and point people to it. I still maintain that twitter is shit and the majority that uses it seems to have an unhealthy emotional attachment to it.

    Whoops, more personal attacks to Mark Kern right here. We all know you where one of the people crying about his crime of using the "wrong" pronouns.

    I'm not going to discuss GG/aGG stuff anymore. It's pointless. You can't leave a tag, but I can stop talking about it. I'm out. Navel ftw.

    Stop talking about it on Twitter and do that League for Gamers thing you've got. Twitter can survive for a little while.

    Threads about the Mark Kern scenario hover at less than 100 upvotes, that bullshit about Brietbart writing a paragraph about some BLM woman nobody heard of hits 1500. Says a lot about the state of KIA right there.
