Dude, get off your high horse.

You didn't even know who she was until yesterday. One of the most vocal people on the whole issue driving more media coverage than anyone else and you didn't know who she was. Yet you so easily ridicule and judge people over this. Over something you clearly know next to nothing about.

So you go and google it and suddenly you're an authority, and you instantly believe that her being trans is some GamerGate lie despite a ton of evidence to the contrary because some other probably very biased person you read thinks it must be so and you swallowed it uncritically. Don't even try to twist this into being about possibilities now, that's clearly how you put it. All the while you don't even seem to understand how "how dare you spread these malicious rumors about her being trans" and "so what if she's trans?" aren't anywhere close to the same reaction and one reflects a lot worse on someone than the other.

And you can fuck off with calling people "gator" as a retort in an argument like it's a fucking slur, all because someone says something that isn't 100% on your ignorantly formed narrative. Maybe your oh so self-righteous disdain is part of the problem.


Am I supposed to care about any of this? Going to call me a social justice warrior (ROFL!) ? Or are you guys intending to spend the rest of your lives fighting the nasty feminists and leftists over something that is nothing.

Go on, keep giving those people power. I'm sure they appreciate it.

And, for someone spending all those words talking about self righteousness, it might be a good idea to look at yourself.

The word gator: I see teeny tiny little gators snapping their teeny tiny jaws at the world around them.

Finally, as to what I know or don't know about this crap, you have no clue.

Have a great afternoon, eh.

What are you even talking about? What do you think I do to fight feminists and giving people power? Posting opinions on a P&N thread??

Yeah of course you don't care about any of this, you just troll this thread several times a day for fun or whatever.

Do you ever post anything other than name calling people?

Or are you just a drooling moron?

lolz, he was using shitlord ironically, not as an actual insult. "Drooling moron" on the other hand I'm not so sure about...

Calling someone a drooling moron seems like a pretty clear personal insult to me, too!

Are you looking for a better reason than "Because nickqt is a drooling moron"?

a. You criticized someone for allegedly name-calling, and doled out the punishment of: name-calling! :biggrin:

b. Look up "Listen and Believe" - it's Anita Snarky's personal campaign to end men's right to a trial, that he should be treated as guilty the moment a rape accusation is made. Believe HER first (and only.)

c. "shitlord" is the new insult of choice used by the feminist and SJW crowds - did you miss the memo?

The one you responded to wasn't though..

Did he make that post in another thread? Are you following him here to criticize him for only posting to insult people in a thread where most of your posts have personal insults?

A lot of BoberFett's posts are insulting, a lot of them aren't. I'm sure it's similar for you.

c. "shitlord" is the new insult of choice used by the feminist and SJW crowds - did you miss the memo?

But it's already been reappropriated and is now used ironically probably 99% of the time :p

I hold up a mirror to people screaming at me. It's a guilty pleasure.

I have nickqt hidden because he's never posted a single thing of any significance, only mocking, sarcasm, and name calling. But from what I gather, I must have hurt his fee-fees. Poor guy, I hope he recovers.

Says the guy who constantly screams obscenities and personal insults.

That you ignore me so that your bubble stays perfectly enclosed and stable is a compliment.

Post proof that 'Sarkeesian's thugs' tried to attack your friends and family. lol.

Yeah, because I want to open myself to that type of shit all over again, and in an entirely new place, to boot! No fucking thanks. SJWs are the lowest forms of life, they'll do anything to silence their enemies, and it's not like there's a shortage of you turds on AT, either.

Along with all other SJWs, I'd rather he choke on his own bile, while having a seizure, after being triggered by the sound of a million people applauding, but that's just me... :awe: *jazz hands*

Nice, you hope that I die of suffocation while having a seizure.

And "SJW's" are the worst people on the planet.

Get a grip, scumbag.

Holy shit, no. It's like the inquisition in here. I don't know what happened to you but you really seriously seem to be transferring intense anger over what some individual(s) did to you to a larger group you associate with them.

Pretty much everyone has the potential to become resentful towards others. First towards their beliefs, because it's hard to try to understand where someone's coming when you disagree with them. Then because of who they associate with. Then because of what they intrinsically are. It happens over and over again. The worst place to be is thinking that you're part of the universally oppressed and your hated group is part of the universally oppressors, because everyone can become both. When I see myself starting to think like this it starts getting scary.

Have you read this article?

Maybe you have. If you haven't, I think you should. And I think you should ask yourself if the author, a well intentioned, sincere, and hard working person who was trying to help people and was eventually more reflective on her positions, was also deserving of the comments you made.

Did I say die? No, I did not. See, that's one of problems with you Justies, you lack reading comprehension skills.

Again, context. One, I didn't say they should die. Two, it goes from theoretical to practical really quick when the perps move things beyond cyberspace. Few have experienced that invasion first hand; the calls to loved ones, the attacks on credit and business, SWATing and death threats, all by people, social justice cowards, who have no fear of reprisal.

A person who wants to be a public figure in their activism invites much of that, some even enjoy it for the attention, but most just want to live and and let live. When that option is stripped away you have only two options left; crawl into a hole and hide, or fight. Since I'm a former boxer, the choice was crystal clear.

Yeah, just want them to suffer circumstances that would usually lead to death.. can't believe this is a sticking point...

So because some small number of people do things like this attack a broad group over sharing other ideological beliefs with these people?

Someone says something like "men can't experience sexism" or talks about how men as a group need to bear responsibility for rape or whatever, so you call them an SJW... okay. How many of these people do you seriously think want to SWAT people, send death threats, and try to make others lose their job. Because my impression is most of them are critical of it and don't tolerate it, let alone partake in it.

You're not being any better than the media who says constantly that GamerGate is a hate group because they connect it to some anons who do things like this. I disagree with much of the ideology and philosophy that's become mainstream, especially in online media, but encouraging this kind of abuse is not part of the popular platform.

A person who wants to be a public figure in their activism invites much of that, some even enjoy it for the attention, but most just want to live and and let live. When that option is stripped away you have only two options left; crawl into a hole and hide, or fight. Since I'm a former boxer, the choice was crystal clear.

Again, I don't know what happened to you specifically, I'll go back and find it in this thread later, but you really shouldn't let the actions of a few color how you treat the many. Defend yourself from whatever actually comes up if you have to, but going on the offensive against with this mentality seems terrible.

^^^ Isn't a lot of that just a repost?

No, beyond the documentarys and Anita/mcintosh to answer a question, the rest is just more of the same happening, just on a different day, as it has been, for 9 months now, and even longer before that if we include the other types of corruption.

*reversed since you bumped me off the page over nothing
