I think both Pat and Paige are just very quick to shout at people that are aggressive towards them and unfortunately the lovely People are very nice to them. I don't think they're bad or secretly Nazis or whatever, and I hope they can understand why people got so pissed that they were engaging with a legit GG figurehead and people that tend to hang out with similar assholes. I also don't think anyone is wrong to not wanna engage with people that are even tangentially related to that poo poo.

Also if you're lurking around to SS this and say "hey, SA is trying to smear campaign you again", you can go suck my dick from the back, you absolute fuckin' coward. Go gently caress yourself.

I hope she is reading this. Her defense of saying that she follows/is friends with liberals and radical feminists isn't convincing as those people aren't asking for the extermination of minorities. The alt-right are.

Why the hell would anyone want to talk to Ralph Retort dude for any other reason than to co-sign his bullshit? He's not funny or interesting and his only claim to fame is through peddling inane alt-right crap, there's literally no reason to pay any attention to him unless you're sympathetic to his nonsense. Like, that's not a corner one accidentally backs themselves into.

Dick got her on that and apparently she wasn't familiar with the dude's politics at all when it happened, which is fair because...well, I kinda didn't until a while ago. It seems like it was a very spur-of-the-moment thing, and she kinda clammed up because the reaction was YOU MONSTER. I'unno, this is like, a hard thing to navigate around but there wasn't any actively evil intention behind it, even if you think she did something really garbage.

He can't be that bad he raised all that money for charity and the WSJ made St.Jude give it back! nevermind that St. Jude has a policy of rejecting money from racists You're just concern trolling. Stop being so close minded, so much for the tolerant left, she can't be responsible for whose show she goes on, stop be ableist and repeating things she says about herself etc etc etc

Real question: when the whole thing initially went down The Dick Show reddit was all about circling the wagons for the racist. How do they reconcile going in on her while they also defended him?

She checks out this thread from time to time, I guess.

As for not knowing what show she's going on, I don't see how you wouldn't give a cursory glance over someone's twitter feed and whatnot in this day and age.

Yeah, that's my take on it too. I don't assume any malice towards it, and I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they didn't know their friend was tangentially supporting people asking the Jewish Question/ calling school shootings false flags but the response to being made aware of this stuff leaves a bit to be desired. Not knowing something is fine! It happens and I doubt anyone's demanding you be aware of everyone anti-semitic or what have you but if you get it brought up to you and your response is 'well, let's just agree to disagree, everyone has a different opinion and we shouldn't shame them for that' then well oof *collar tug* not a good look.

No, RWG is totally a nazi, but it was grav who was making some AMAZINGLY racist and transphobia comments on forums and in a private nazi speedrunner discord. Like, "look for the adams apple" type poo poo. Matty from gdq said they needed more proof than a chatlog screenshot, but then closed the inquiry. Almost immediately people dug up the racist posts on a forum(as grav was in the middle of wiping them out, he was too slow) and within hours gdq officially banned him. But Matty did a real stupid loving thing and both sides'd/"differing opinions" nazis and got poo poo on for it, went on a lengthy meltdown including the equivalent of "I have gay friends, I'm your ally!", got called out by protomagicalgirl, and yeah, he should probably be fired

Paige is friends with the Dick Show

The Dick Show guys are/were friendly with the Ralph Retort guy.

Paige goes on the Ralph Retort, and since then his youtube page got deleted and I dunno if anyone managed to capture the footage of Paige's appearance on that show.

The Wall Street Journal of all places did a story about how the Ralph Retort was racist garbage.

Ralph Retort tries to do a "benefit stream" for St. Jude's Hospital.

St. Jude decided to reject Ralph Retort's donations.

Ralph Retort tries to gin up some sympathy by saying that the WSJ was killing kids with cancer because the WSJ convinced St. Jude's to reject their donations.

Paige retweeted that Ralph Retort tweet, which caused the current controversy.

So tl;dr Paige rewteeted a holocaust denier who was trying to gain sympathy by raising money for a kid cancer charity.

In conclusion, paige hosed up and instead of trying to make up for it she responded by attacking a trans fan (accusing her of "concern trolling"), and by even the most charitable of readings paige is loving stupid and 'inadvertently' providing cover for a white nationalist that was rightly banned from youtube.

ED: these tweets were some pages back and if they haven't been deleted recently they should still be available.

Okay, now I'm starting to get why people are getting frustrated with the Kingdom Hearts LP. I'm not gonna hold a grudge about anything because hey, blind LP of a game you're not at all familiar with. But man that party confusion. It's so irritating! Just push a button and see what it does, have faith that the game won't soft lock if you try to do a thing, please! The fire door and electric wires in Traverse town are whatever because even with six sets of eyes they miss things constantly anyway so whatever.

Woolie did have a point about the menu though, to foolproof it, it could've used some brackets around the first three that said 'Current Party/Team' and then one on the outsider that was 'Reserve'

Anybody wanna argue about Kingdom Hearts with me? Personally, I think it's bullshit that we keep getting Simba as a summon instead of Nala, the much stronger fighter.

I don't give a gently caress about kingdom hearts, nor know anything about the summons in it or about the Lion King. But it would make a lot more sense to have a lioness as a summon, as they're the far more combative sex when it comes to wild lions.

I'll argue about how media has tricked society into thinking lions are cool and strong all day, lions are basically scavengers the majority of the time and job to actual pack hunters like hyenas all the time.

The wires and the fire door bothered me, but what really gets me is that Matt hasn't opened the Ability menu for Donald or Goofy even once since the LP started.

They're not as useless as you think they were during the Cerberus boss fight, Matt! They just aren't using their abilities because you haven't equipped them!

(I'm enjoying the LP, mind you. It's been pretty chill and relaxing so far.)

I'm enjoying the LP but they are struggling so hard with all of the menus. There are so many times where Matt someone ends up in the potion menu and then can't seem to figure out how to get out/actually use a potion.
