i feel like anyone who does anything even remotely feminist should know better than to date gamergaters by now but there you are

he's one of those youtube people who have anti-feminist shit as their entire deal

videos that are mad about stuff like the concept of cultural appropriation existing, lots of scaremongering about the ~sjw menace~

he's not that big of a name but he has enough of an audience that he'll completely fuck her over when they break up

it's completely wild to me that she's been around doing stuff that is at least feminist adjacent for whole long and miss a walking red flag

i never watched her but the way she talks about this shit makes it sound like she has 0 education on the topic?

like... how do you pull off being a purported sex educator and have these kind of questions

the terfs responding to her include that one that got real mad about the word "menstruator" back in januaryhttps://twitter.com/NoraReed/status/816489296550969344 …

i just can't wrap my head around why anyone would do this on purpose. these people have 0 invested in keeping her safe at all

so it's just a question of how long it'll be before these people who were already did the gamergate thing once turn on her

and in the meantime she's lending them legitimacy and doing more harm, like, why put yourself in danger for that

there's just no calculation you can make where it would be worth it, even a purely mercenary one, unless you actually BUY their shit

like i don't think anyone actually deserves to be put through what she is going to be put through by these people inevitably

but she was _extremely_ warned

i was mostly joking about the Serena Joy thing but she seems to have actually decided that is the actual path she should go for

anyway: don't date people who have been ringleaders in misogynist hate mobs started by a dude who wanted to get back at his ex

and like, view white feminists with extreme suspicion at all times because there is such a high chance of this shit happening

(& yeah, that includes me. i like to think i'm well armored against this shit but i'd sure as fuck hope you'd drop my ass if i pulled this)

and like, i know we're doing a deep dive in callout culture and how people in this community are often not allowed to fuck up
