the fact that people walking in the park are uttering the name of that garbage human makes me really depressed.

They were probably 20-something and laughing about it. Way better than the time I heard a guy tell his girlfriend about what he had read about The Bell Curve on reddit while I was browsing used books.

Still bad that people know who he is though. That feels like a big victory for him and I would forget him if I could simply will myself to do so.

Somebody walking by in the park where I'm having lunch just said to his friend that Sargon got hacked. Confirm/deny?

Apparently, according to his twitter, it seems real.

But apparently he also had some heart-to-heart with Laci Green and apologised for treating her like poo poo, literally the day after acting like an rear end in a top hat to Anita. So IDK what's going on.

The Fantano thing is really confusing because he is (or was) pretty progressive. He's mentioned feminism in a positive light in a lot of videos, and made basically a whole video about Varg Vikernes being a racist shithead.

I suspect he's more of a "everybody deserves an audience" type, which is still very insufferable.

I'm going to blame that terrible Le Tigre song they did for Hillary's campaign for breaking him. Although I also listened to that insipid shite by a band I really used to love & somehow haven't become obsessed with Anita Sarkeesian so maybe I'm being too kind. But it was a bad song.

He put a pseudo-apology to Anita Sarkeesian on his twitter too, just a day after gleefully filming himself encouraging several of his fans to disrupt her panel, plus whatever he was trying by sitting in the front row filming himself. Something doesn't add up about all this. He's never apologized to anyone and usually says that his target misunderstood or that he was only joking about whatever it was.

He wanted Anita to snap at him so he could play victim and get her thrown out of Vidcon. Hopefully the Green brothers are savvier than he thinks they are.

Plus, at least with the Laci Green bit the translation is: "Hey guys, don't poo poo on Laci now, she's with us and we can use her as a shield to fend off accusations of us being misogynistic harassers."

Twitter is just UGH. I hope the rest of the superteam eventually migrates over to SA's web 1.0 wonderland where we'd never dogpile-insult them for an out-of-context photo or lump them in with Laci Green. We barely know who Laci Green is or any of those other people under 25 because we don't even know about twitter, really. Just luxuriate in our character limit-free virtual salon (This includes you Shaun). And if anything embarrassing does happen, the twitter teens of today will never even find out because we're the only people reading the forum. Lindsay, you can even come back and we'll all just pretend we don't know it's you.

I think the Skeptic Feminist thing really pissed tfoot off enough to make the rational shitlords a new target for him, especially Carl.

Honestly, I wonder how he never realized these were the kind of whiny people he appealed to in the first place.

She really does seem like a genuine naif, even when mixing her personal life with her business in a way that increases revenue. She's not faking anything, just choosing to do it in public as if she were just a private citizen with a twitter and a facebook. She won't deserve what's bound to happen.

I think Contra mostly gets people that aren't really ideologically inclined against sjws, but happened into the internet war at the wrong place and got blasted with all the "fat feminist OWNED"/"tumblr pronoun lists" memespiel and decided they had to be against sjws. So yeah, his earnestness helps him a lot because those people just suddenly see an rampant sjw who makes jokes and likes the a e s t h e t i c and suddenly they have to see sjws as human beings again. Kind of like those racists on tv that go to a Muslim meet-n-greet and back down in a day.

Yeah, and those are the people that we need to attempt to persuade, in my opinion. They're a minority and there's nothing you can do to change the "true believers", but even small percents can make a big difference when it comes to political elections.

I dunno, I think this is all very calculated on her and Chris' part. I think he convinced her how the pepes are the best type of YouTube audience, as they "engage" more by posting comments and liking/sharing/subscribing. Hell a few of them will probably starting throwing her some money too.

Yeah but based on her responses to questions, she seems to still be entirely committed to feminism. She's feted now because she's saying sorry/that she wants to talk, but when that honeymoon phase is over if she's still any kind of feminist this side of CH Sommers, they're eventually gonna get pissed.

TF put a video a while ago about how he's leaving the internet "skeptic" community because he sees them acting exactly like the dreaded SJW's and can't abide people like that.


Then 3 weeks later put out another video about Anita Sarkessian. He isn't "leaving" poo poo, he's just going to try to call out some obvious-to-everyone examples of Sargon being an idiot in between his monthly obsession video of Feminist Frequency.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I'm sure TF wants to leave but his actual mental illness about Anita will always have him adjacent

Fury road never pulls the "You drive pretty good, for a girl." It's like Alien where a character exists and no one ever acts surprised at her compidence. Furiosa is seen as an equal by the other characters beside her. WW is all about guys being skeptical of a lady going to war and then shocked as she does super stuff. Which flows into acceptance.

So I could see how WW shows a world changing it's views on woman deserving equal treatment. And that's one message, however Fury Road(at least with Furiosa, the "we are not things" harem is a different story element) shows a world where everyone expects a healthy adult to be dangerous and capable. Because those are the only ones who can survive in the wastes.

Yeah, and I wonder whether "oh wow it turns out wimmin are actually people and can sometimes do things, this is such a surprise!" is a good message to habituate the uncaring masses to, compared to "it's normal and unsurprising that women are good at things, much like other people".

Eh, it's not the greatest example. But showing that someone has a talent or skill you wouldn't equate to them for whatever reason and thus "shouldn't judge a book by its cover" is still an important lesson more people need beaten into them via pop culture.
