Me?

Yep.

Yes

?

Nothing. Just saying hey. We were talking about your WWII campaign earlier. Just being friendly.

Oh sorry
Just not used to this on the internets

Suppose I could screech at you, if you prefer.

That's more what I'm used to, yes

But I also live on the twatters
And I play WF

Well then. REEeeeee and all that.

So screech is a thing I've seen a lot

Reeeeeee

***REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE***

come for
politics..

Where da politics

Presumably behind the immigration controls.

Well then... REEEEEEEE

Though, if you have a topic, feel free.

Not at the moment. I enjoy lurkin' n readin'

Listening to Sargons recent vid, saw discord thingy, ooh yes, join up

Yeah, I kept getting a dead invite from the other ones. Probably because they had to kill those invites because the server was a target of a harassment campaign.

That's never saved them either. I.E. Contrapoints wasn't exactly off-side. Until it became in vogue to hate her.

Eat your own.

That was.. on one hand, sad, and on another, rather delightful. I live in hope that Contra is now very aware of the toxicity she herself has encouraged

Yeah there is definitely an element of having made the bed you're forced to sleep in now. On the other hand, I'm not sold that even the victims of the self-cannibalizing really change their positions. At least on average.

Depends on how the individual reacts to different kinds of trauma. It's pretty nasty having people who loved you turn on you even if it's online, it's happened to me. When it happened to me, I absolutely flipped out and adopted the OPPOSITE stance for a while and seriously having it out for a certain population group, before becoming more sensible about things. Could go any way with Contra as we don't really -know- her per se. Interestingly, Blaire White recently defended her. Big fan of Blaire

Yeah, definitely comes down to an individuals ability to process that. I feel for her, in that she's now much more isolated than she was before and undoubtedly much of who she viewed herself as was in light of her platform and positions. It's got to be brutal to have that turned on her. And yeah. Blaire's pretty awesome. Not a regular viewer but definitely enjoy most of what I've seen.

The pedo-slaying shit she's been doing lately has been juicy af. Taking down Jessica Yaniv, oof

Good on her. I've missed that apparently.

I feel for Contra too, bigtime. Hence why I felt sad. I wanted to talk to her when it happened tbh, because it happened to me too

Though on a -way- smaller scale.

What position where you assailed on?

she must be feeling a lot of rage right now. That's the bit that changes ya... i'm interested in where she'll go from here.

Of course, it'll be interesting to see when/if she returns. Though it's possible she comes back more in line with the harassers position. I hope not, but that's their goal.

Oh, lol I was a moderator on a rather... metropolitan server, lets say. Diverse. And I had the GALL to identify as cisgender. It was an adult server so I thought, yanno, junk is relevant. I was pretty popular there, loads of people liked me, liked my art. But dang I was wrong, lol. Someone I thought was a good friend stabbed me in the back and reported it to a more influential person, who was a raging sjw transwoman.
"YOU DARE SUGGEST THAT WE ARE NOT WOMEN REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
"YOUR IDEAS ARE KILLING PEOPLE"- I kid you not, this was said. XD
I was had up in the moderators chat and berated by about thirty of the fuckers, who all felt like the word cisgender was gonna come murder their whole families by the way they reacted. It was nasty.
So I was ousted from that community, two whole servers, and lost a ton of friends and my reputation was just reduced to shit. So for a while I fucking hated trans people. (I have a lot of trauma in my past, I have a lot of... odd reactions to things)

That's some bullshit though. I'm sorry you had to go through that. Mass hate like that has an entirely different feel to it than when you're getting it from one or two people.

Having a friend who is a transguy come back into my life, as well as watching Blaire, helped me heal because they're actually sensible people

Not too odd of a reaction just to take the direct opposite position. People can and will adopt pretty extreme positions merely out of self defense. Literal or metaphorical.

I guess. I felt rather silly for being so extreme and your comment is rather soothing tbh. Thank you

No worries. It's just how people work. That's why the whole hate engine that gets running is so dangerous. It encourages both sides to radicalize their position. Which does none of us any good.
