That's really great! Some parts of her audience went to extremes to the point of harassment because of her attending this event, but there were people with legitimate concerns that in trying to support Contra by going there you were in fact giving money to a alt-right/anti-lgbt organization.
So hopefully they actually are giving their profits to a charity and people can go there to support Contra with a peace of mind
Edit: Seems like his videos are a response to something, but is vague in a way that it'll still be relevant later and stand on their own.
Edit 2: Oh, it's about tweets Boogie made recently. Of course.

Jeez, Boogie sounds worse every time I hear him.

To be honest, half the posts here are memes, shitposts, or Youtuber drama. It's not like your post has to hit some invisible standard eh.
It's a tweet thread, he elaborates a bit.

Aw, I didn't get a chance to read your response.

I'm glad she took time to address these concerns instead of ignore it like some people do. I really respect Contra, and wish I could attend.
Boogie is one of the most hypocritical motherfuckers out there. A shithead that got famous by making a terrible mocking impression of a mentally challenged person, that continously defends hate speech and people saying the n word. The second someone fat-shames him though, all hell breaks loose. He's a piece of shit that doesnt care about anyone but himself.
He is either being sarcastic or serious, I honestly don't know, it's impossible, but he is saying that if he knew a very lukewarm middle-of-the-road defense of Anita Sarkeesian would get him so much hate online, he not only would never do it, but he would be one of the abusers sending her death threats.
I guess there's a lesson in there somewhere other than "I am a weak idiot who follows others for complete lack of emotional maturity", but we'll never know.
Uh yeah, that's how I understood it and figured that surely can't be the gist of it lol.
Considering what he said and did in the past, it would probably be a pretty safe guess to say that he's serious.
This a man that embraced gamergate, and when people started to rightfully question why he was doing so he quickly changed the narrative to the fact that people actually just wanted to bully him because of his weight and ''why are people so mean to me can't we just be friends with the hate campaign?''. Thanks to that he was banned from the old place (and hilariously enough when Era was established he tweeted that people here should be more tolerant than before).
And of course he quickly comes to the defence of nazis and white supremacists too, he's scum and a coward.
I can see that, but there's also the part where people "tortured" him because of it and if he knew, he would never "fall on his sword" or something.
It really looks like people abused him for not being an asshole to Anita and his response is: "yes, you are right to have abused me, I should be abusing her, just like you".

I don't like Antia, mainly because I feel like her portrayal of the Games Industry it sometimes played up for media attention, but I definitely see the value of having someone like her as a voice. Boogie though. Fuck man.
Can someone explain to me what happened at Vidcon? I know Sargon was there and Anita called him out. I don't think she should have done that during a Q&A panel. (No one is there to listen to that, though in the future I can imagine she could get him blacklisted if she spoke to organisers. ) Apparently Boogie said some things in his roundup of the panel that set Anita off and while he can't remember what they were, he says she was rude an out of line. One of the few things he can remember is that she said "I think it was out of line to bring that up at the end of the panel."
To me that sounds like Boogie made a statement no one could refute. Obviously calling him out on it rudely is not great, but it's not uncalled for if he waited last minute to make a point that no one gets the chance to refute.
What I know of Boogie is the guy keeps saying he is a moderate left, but there are certain things that people ask of him that he really should have no problem declaring opinion on. I think GG got him banned from the site that shall not be named. I saw the message at one point. He got banned because he was defending the feelings of the pro-GGs. I'm not sure on the exact details beyond that, but it feels like that's where all this Anita shit started.
There are just cettian things you expect even a moderate left to come out for and I just don't see it from him. He just comes off as too desperate to sit on the fence.
Is my rundown correct? can someone fill me in on the missing parts?
have y'all seen this hot mess yet? holy shit
The amos thing is just sad to me, because for it to work you essentially have to refute reality.
His whole argument is that he doesn't think there should be an age of consent because some pedo's will be harmed by having to break the law. He thinks its fine to have sex with kids because they can give consent. When pointed out kids can't give consent because they have no way of understanding the consequences he changes reality with this one golden line.
"I don't think a child needs to know about the consequences to give consent."
To him consent means whatever he wants it to me. A child can consent to sex with an adult even though the child can't understand the same way as an adult. At the same time a child shouldn't be allowed to sign a contract because it could be taken advantage of.
It's nuts and sad.
he also tried to equate a baby trying to breastfeed a man to the baby wanting to have sex with the man. he's insane and disgusting. im glad his speech got cancelled. those ideas don't need to be spread.
He is not a moderate left, he claims to be centrist. To problem is that the only people he has sided on (and asked people to show compassion for) is gamergaters and white supremacists, so is hard to call him anything but a hypocrite.
The vidcon situation was a panel that Anita was hosting that was invaded by shitheads like sargon and mundanematt, they got front seats for the panel and started filming her to harass her so of course she made a passing mention of their presence there, making fun of sargon.
So obviously friendly neighbor boogie goes and defends their right to be there.
Admittedly he's not great at articulating what he's talking about, but holy fuck you are twisting his past actions in order to name call him. You are acting the exact same way that the goobergators do when he disagrees with them. It's frankly disgusting. He's a human being.
It was Carl and about a dozen other folks just like him; I want to say it was all of the people going to that "Kilroy" free speech or whatever it is thing coming up. They sat in the front few rows, Carl with his camera on a stick, aimed at Anita. She called him out because he flew across the planet to troll the woman he makes disingenuous videos about.
I believe he said something about how he understands that it sucks that the women on the panel were getting death threats and such all the time, but he gets those too, for different reasons, so, like... is it really that bad? I don't remember. I do remember he said he was super nervous going into it. And I think he got to have the final word at the panel and he ended it with whatever his dumb argument was. Was she kind of rude to him? Yeah, sure. But we don't know how that conversation actually played out after the panel was over. I don't doubt that she would have told him that it was a pretty dumb point in a rude way, but I'm not sure it happened the way he initially said it did, or how people think it happened.
exactly. dude had the chance to call out those shitlords for trying to intimidate anita, but instead he defended them like he's often done with gg-ers. it was ridiculous when mundanematt/sargon tried to act like they wanted to have a conversation, bullshit, they wanted to harrass her, and i was happy that anita called them out.
The panel was literally about women online and the rampant harassment.
Sargon and his cronies filled the three front rows. Sargon and his cronies and all those shitheads are the exact same people that have been relentlessly harassing her. Why would she not call them out?
I didn't know that part. The only narrative I'd seen was of Sargon being there, but if she saw a whole three rows of them that's horseshit. Fuck them she did the right thing calling them out, I would have gone further with asking staff to remove them.
I'm a bit confused on this recent Boogie outburst. So Anita didn't actually do anything recently he disapproved of and he's only saying that because of the reaction from his fanbase for being nice to her at vidcon?
I think he's great at articulating his points, his points being that we should meet white supremacists and women harassers in the middle. But if people try to say they should meet harassed women in the middle his first answer is always ''I been harassed too though?''

Edit: ^ dang, that's quite a tweet...
Was Metokur there too? I can't recall.
Also Sblargh I think we can link to tweets from Boogie or other large personalities, but I don't believe the mods want us directly linking to no-name individuals as it may be considered directed dogpilling. You can probably post the quote without the twitter username though.
*I'm not exactly sure about this, I've just seen mods get annoyed about it in the past.
Yea, Anita was right to call them out. Those guys directed vile abuse at her for years. They showed up to her speaking event and took up the first three rows to continue their harassment in public. Watching Sargon half ironically play the victim afterwards was pretty gross too.

Ok, I'll delete it, it's not particularly different than what he himself says anyway.

Holy shit, you love to take shit out of context to be a hateful person, don't you.

And that gif: JonTron was his friend, wanting to understand him and try to bring him to a more reasoned center instead of an extreme is so fucking horrible, right?
This is what gamergators think of him, btw.
And it doesn't sound much different than the shit I'm hearing here.
You dont need to twist anything. The fucker even recently said how feminist men are actually sexual harassers and only centrist men show actual respect for women.
Scum is all this fucker is. He spent all this time catering annd pandering to the fuckwits and now is biting him in the ass. I have as much simpathy for him as i have for the alt right women complaining about alt righters being mysoginist. Lie down with dogs, wake up with fucking fleas.
What other context? He keeps saying we should respect women while in the same breath saying we should see the side of the harrasers and #gamergate is about ethics in games journalism (the same talk point of gamergaters).
And please, meet in the middle with a man that talks about gene pool? I don't care if he was my friend the first thing I would do is cut ties with him and condemn his rhetoric, not meet him the middle for christ's sake.
Yep. This fucking dude looked at a cosplayer being relentlessly harassed and his response was " well this is the fault of the makers of the game being inclusive, of course alt righters are going to lash out"
Calling Boogie "scum" is too generous, if anything.
