I think the guy's take was weird but I do wanna say that Penny Arcade forums are also very well moderated and I'd say is pretty close to ERA in terms of progressiveness. The traffic is nowhere near as high though. I think in general the more well-moderated a place is, the less the alt-right trolls are able to take root because it's essentially the opposite of chan forums.
While I understand the sentiment, issues like this can be a sign that they just aren't nice people.
This is basically my friends too.
This is a meaningless distinction. He didn't take inspiration for how to carry out the shooting from Candace Owens because she's never carried out a shooting, but if he's saying that she radicalized him, he took inspiration from her by definition. She's an underlying influence.
This is a reoccurring theme in his content. Just recently he criticized Brie Larson and went on about how people "love" playing the victim. IIRC, he's discussed the Gillette ad with the usual right-wing talking points as well. Back in early December he even retweeted Steven Crowder's support for him. This kind of stuff combined with his constant attacking of "the media" just continues to ease people down the same fuckshit rabbit hole. It's not uncommon to see comments praising him for being the only reliable news source out there.
honestly, and i mean this genuinely and sincerely, fuck off
It's about a racist man and his rabid following of 80+ million impressionable people who have been influenced by increasingly toxic rhetoric to mobilize themselves in his defense, and his refusal to acknowledge the impact of his incredibly large reach, consistent casual bigotry, and promotion of much more extreme personas.
As it should be, since that is a principle every person should have been taught by age 4. Spewing ignorant garbage isn't something to be celebrated.
Voice of reason right here!!!
but he is a role model, when you have 80 million of people that can watch you daily you are a role model, being a good or bad one it's entirely on him.
Someone think of the poor rich white man who makes millions playing video games when he isnt making anti-semetic jokes or doing the hard job of being a racist while playing a video game and not the people who lost their lives or their families because a person who has a grasp of millions of kids growth decides to feed them alt-right rhetoric
Lol, yeah. Raised my brow on that one.
Maybe it's like an arcade shmup and once you beat it they send you back to the first level.
incoming article maybe?
why don't you stop being a coward and say what you mean.
this isn't an agenda, this is people posting in bad faith trying to downplay a mass murder. it's not the difficult
It's like a shitlord supergroup.Here, have a slightly more comprehensive list, put together by yours truly:
