Oh, I think I know the group, they've gotten some flack for trying to go after depressed college kids and other at-risk locals. Again I have real sympathy for folks with crummy childhoods, but becoming an angry talking head doesn't seem like the best path to mental health :smith:
Yeah. I can see why someone with NRM fundie parents might go full rational atheist, and yet have some weird hangups about women, but he'd probably be mostly okay if GamerGate hadn't happened and he could stick to making sick burns about sky dads. GG seems pretty much inevitable in retrospect now though, even if Zoeethics in video games journalism hadn't happened, something else would have provided the tenuous spark.

For a while it seems like Anita was going to be that catalyst, but that never really bubbled over properly until one certain manchild didn't handle being dumped very well.

Looking just before 2014, the ingredients for GooberGate were all there but it's incredible to me that the ultimate spark was from such a banal and pathetic place.

given how much these dudes are obsessed with sexual harassment and cucking it's really no surprise that the thing which really shook them to their core was sexual jealousy and alleged infidelity

Honestly, the warning signs were kinda there. Before this I'd only ever hear of her because she said some dumb White Feminism/TERFy bullshit that usually ended with some mealy-mouthed apology.

Looking back, her "Truth is in the middle, we have to hear both sides" position was going to make her at the very least a useful idiot for regressive shitbirds.

Snyder loving up the framing of Ozymandias isn't coincidental- one of his dream projects is Atlas Shrugged.

pretentious fuckwit who isn't half as literate or insightful or clever as he thinks he is
Snyder's 'dream project' is the fountainhead, not atlas shrugged

remember the ending of bvs where there's a quote from christopher wren (who was a philanthropist, devout christian, and most relevantly an architect) on superman's tombstone, in stark contrast to the big statue of Superman-as-Atlas that used to be there? and how the villain is a randian billionaire manchild with a god complex?

the dude's kinda crazy and loves jesus and jesus metaphors but that should make it even more obvious that he isn't an objectivist

Sometimes he seems very self-aware and knows what he's doing and has a sense of humor, but then sometimes he makes Batman v Superman. He contains multitudes, maybe half of them acceptable.

Suicide Squad is such a baffling failure. You can kind of see how some parts must have fit together before it was rearranged into some kind of cinematic plastinated corpse collage. It's like they had two different people recut it with completely different goals and sensibilities, then made the final version by switching between each version. It's not a movie.

Not to defend(?) Snyder, but one can be a devout Christian fundamentalist and adore Atlas Shrugged without being an objectivist (see: Paul Ryan).

I'm sure the conference films all their panels and will upload them.

Oh, I hope the superteam helps Anita Sarkeesian against some pepes with their powers of irony and they do a team-up with her there at the convention. There can be a part where Contra begrudgingly admits that earnest gravity has its place on youtube and she says irony's not so bad and they shake hands and part as friends. She wouldn't be on the superteam obviously, but they could team up in the summers along with, like, some podcasters and Adam Curtis.

I bet that must have felt cathartic.

Btw, it's kinda funny how these New Atheists or Rationals or whatever the hell they call themselves, eventually wound up being on the same side as the religious fundamentalists when it comes to women. They both seem to hate women, but hate them for different reasons.

She started reaching out/wanting to debate antifeminists. Now she seems to be going further into that club, also she's dating ChrisRayGun

This is the favorable/not too kneejerky version of events. Imo she's just being a dick due to the obvious backlash and its making her dig in more and more.

I apologize. Him preferring the Fountainhead, though, doesn't make him not an objectivist. It just means I get to be even more concerned about how he deals with gender and power dynamics. And it certainly reinforces the Ozymandias framing issue.

I read some of the comments on that video and there's one that says

Maybe it's because your points are endlessly bad.

And all I could think was that they make constant videos about her because they're empty vessels and their followers are massive cry babies when it comes to video games.
