Every fucking thread on Reddit today is about that fucking native man

Every fucking thread is full of people blaming only the kids

*sigh*

I haven't been paying attention. What is it precisely that this kid is accused of doing?

harassing a Native American war veteran

Open carry of an Assault smile

Harassing how?

also shouting homophobic slurs

well, not him specifically, but the people with him (for the slurs)

harassing by standing there smirking

By standing his ground with a smile when the man with the drum invaded his personal space.

Weren't those the people they were arguing with before the old guy came along @yearspastmatter

A smile becomes a smirk or a jeer when it's convenient for those who report it.

The black hebrew guys

Yes

They weren't even related to the kids wtf

Why is it that whenever something that's promoted as "progressive" fails, leftists automatically blame Trump and right wingers?

Because media reaction

The news media, reddit, etc. are basing their views on a clip that's 2:20 long, and even with that, I don't know how they're getting their stance

full video is about 9:30 in length

*cough* Ghostbusters 2016/3 *cough*

and clearly shows the narrative is not only 100% wrong, but that the reverse is true

Because they believe they are morally right, therefore they cannot be the reason for their failure.

No one will print " Leslie Jones doesn't like Ghostbusters 3"
Everybody prints "Leslie Jones compares Ghostbusters 3 to Trump"

It comes down to keywords and search engine optimization. the former article will get a quarter of a quarter of the views the latter article will get

So if you compare something to drumpf or MAGA or whatever, more people will propogate it because it's profitable

And *of course* when something "progressive" fails and another part of that franchise services the fans like it should've done, leftists blame toxic fandom.

I think I should write an article about why I think "Go Woke, Get Broke" is wrong

Because it misses what actually is happening. None or very few people in an industry care about politics or the culture war or diversity and all that

They care about selling stuff, and to sell the product you need advertisements, positive ones

Now, say you know the product is bad, and you cannot promote it by it's objective merits

So you promote it in the name of diversity and progressive politics (Battlefield 5, ghostbusters)

That makes fans angry, and what makes fans angry is picked up by mainstream outlets like polygon

so the game gets famous and people buy a lot

However, the audience soon finds that the product itself is just terrible

and boom, sales drop

This is why comics like Border Town and Iceman have great sales on issue 1, and then completely fail

Maybe someone commenting recently on the topic in here can drop some knowledge and confirm this for me...it seems that, in summary, this incident with the group of high schoolers is a case where intentional misrepresentations are being made to construct a narrative favorable to one party, and even though video and disccussions from some the folks present can be found contending otherwise, partisan ranker against the youngsters is leading to more false representations?
