I'm pretty sure if you're in a youth facing branch of Nintendos localization team with active social media presence for NoA you shouldnt be posting pics of a Nintendo 3DS blocking your nipples on backpage. The backpage part isn't an issue, it's the using Nintendo products to sell a third party service that's an issue.

Is there any evidence Nintendo even found out about it through the gamergate people?

I've never felt so good about not knowing what someone was talking about.

if the M4A committee isn't a paid position, her losing the official status isn't that big an issue considering she would probably be unofficially involved in conversations, because the petition can't really stop unofficial involvement as its requesting. i don't think any of the folks are going to cast amber out and not take her feedback if they saw her as an important enough voice to be on the committee in the first place. i get removal request, but the, "officially or unofficially involved" part of the petition is just asking folks to stop being friends with the mean lady.

DSA has a real bad dork problem. They yearn to be the smartest guy in the room, not realizing stuff like glamorizing communist Russia/Lenin/Stalin won't fly in America to people who merely think single payer is a good idea. But FWIW a lot of local chapters are truly doing tremendous work, especially Houston in the wake of the hurricane.

All that theory only means anything if you're out there, on the ground, doing the work. That's why I attend every monthly meeting to educate my comrades that Juche Thought is the greatest, final iteration of Marxism-Leninism that allows the people to consciously achieve revolution in a creative manner appropriate to their specific conditions.

I think it's nice to have a word that is shorthand for "fellow person who recognizes capitalism is the problem, and who is prepared to do something about it"

and while it's fair to say some who throw around the word "comrade" may be less serious than others as political actors, I don't think it's cosplay to try to understand and even emulate elements of past traditions that tried to fight against oppressive systems, if you're actually trying to change things.
