So over on Twitter KindKabsCorner
was getting called out by other Twitter furries after a botched Bad Dragon exposé that missed a lot of "open secrets" and called out the wrong people.
Dogpatch, smelling blood in the water and a chance at recovering his rep did what
PKRussl did after Dogpatch got called out by using that as a way of getting back at the people calling him a cub supporter.
The first post links to
some random techie troon's Wordpress blog post involving conspiracy garbage about how pedophiles on YT comment boxes of kids are actually glow in the dark cia niggers troll farms and he starts to talk about sites cracking down on sexual content:

whining about Keemstar and talks about "clout farmers".
View attachment 689013 Now what are clout farmers? Well see this is where it gets spicy. Dogpatch claims (in his own words) he was lynched online by a bunch of clout farmers waging gay ops against him, before denying he's a clout farmer as well and even managing to bring up alt-furry in it somehow:

The projection is strong. Patch is the very DEFINITION of a clout farmer who whips up mobs to do his bidding. I'm just glad that his spell seems to have been broken by very virtue of people realising he's a harmful hack. I hear even furs with sympathetic worldviews lived in fear of a dogpatch article, should they displease him. It's to the effect of something Machiavelli wrote, even though getting people to fear you is effective, if the spell is broken, people will happily and quickly destroy you, for you would have done the same to them in the same circumstances. It's one of the reasons people think The Prince has a satirical element to it; something that undermines Machiavelli's thing about fear being best.
Being a certified kool-aid drinker, I'm surprised Patch even came close to comparing his situation to a Lynching, given the racial connotations of the word in american culture. There's a myriad of words he could have used. A mugging, a mob attack, swarming etc... But Patch isn't a particularly good writer. A buzzfeed intern, rather than a Hunter S Thompson or a Jon Ronson.
Good riddance.
EDIT: And I know Patch reads his thread, so I'll say this:
If you WANT to progress as a writer, own your damned mistakes. Endeavour to be something more than a snarky internet cunt. There's too many of those. They're dime a fucking dozen.
I can tell you're a gonzo type, and there's nothing inherently wrong with that. Gonzo types have written some fine literature. Everyone looking to get into a craft should have a role model. You should endeavour to be more like a Hunter S Thompson or Ronson.
A BIG feature is to can the moral grandstanding, the basic bitch internet snark and the dishonesty. Them two fine examples of Gonzo give their views, and even inject hints of sarcasm and humour in, sure. But they told the truth as they saw it, and can even empathise with the people who are the stories subjects. Like Thompson feeling a kind of kinship with Hells Angels, who; as you may recall, were a violent biker gang filled with violent people, or Ronson even feeling empathy for people who have been designated dangerous sociopaths. And I mean actual empathy, not "UwU I shared a tweet about sad immigrant children today, look how empathetic I am!". But actual "I understand what they feel and why" kind
And this isn't some grand conspiracy to end you, Patch. You just acted like a cunt, who tripped off the small amount of power your meagre platform afforded you. Learn from this, or make the same mistakes IF you ever claw your way back up.
