    Took you guys over a decade to get here. Thank you for listening to me and mocking me and calling me a ludite because I hated Elon Musk and everything he represented. Also, visit Thunderfoot’s youtube channel, apologise and thank him for his activism.

      Why do you feel so positive about Thunderf00t? The guy is supposed to be a physicist and does not even think about the squared cube law. He got full of his own shit once he became popular many years ago.

          Any scientist should know about such an extremely basic thing.

          If the does not even have the slightest idea about what he is talking about, he needs to shut the fuck up. But he does not and people believe him.

      You’re so right. You saw Elon for what he was when literally every other person on earth thought he was awesome until 2 months ago.

      THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE BRAVE WARRIOR 07

      you gotta be joking, thunderf00t is among the most unbearable, ignorant, most self-assured assholes going. he harassed random women for having opinions he disagreed with for years.

          i’m european, i used to be a fan of thunderf00t too. but he became really really bad, he was an alt-right troll for awhile, and only really split from the rest of the pack because they didn’t agree with him about brexit.

          he is a pathetic, ignorant, quote-mining bigot who should be completely forgotten. being right about elon musk is a stopped clock being right twice a day situation. there are plenty of other channels which did a far better job of pointing out elon’s grifts without also posting 3,000 videos about how anita sarkeezian is the anti-christ

            You’re most likely not European.

            The fact you don’t put Anita and Elon in the same bag, US grifters, tells me all I need to know. Anita is a blundering idiot that grifted a bunch of parasites into a market that should have never existed. Instead of using Alanah Pearce (Lawd has she been harassed) Lucy James and the like, that actually work in the field and know the ACTUAL problems rather than creating rage bate to cash in on victim points. She and the much maligned sweet baby were consulting on games that were subcontracting slavelike labour in Indonesia and other SE Asian countries during their consulting. Most of the victims at those places were women. Grifters gonna grift! Sarkeesian and her ilk have done nothing for the feminist movement (which I’m a part of), worse, they set us back decades. She left all blue collar women on whom the lion’s share of injustice falls upon, behind. She could have addressed the preponderance of women in QA and community management and how that disproportionately makes them more likely to be laid off. How also in gaming, they make less for the same work. How career progress is usually limited by patriarchal hierarchical organisations in AAA studios. Fuck that noise, feminism is bitching about a bald dude killing some nuns in spandex in a videogame. She ignored the real issues because those were very likely to avoid her getting hired to consult on games as the C types don’t really like left wing talking points flying around the office. Fucking bougie causes.

              jesus fucking CHRIST you have some baggage here, huh?

              putting anita and elon into the same category is literally one of the most delusional takes i have ever heard. you do realize that one of those people is one of the wealthiest living people in the world, a nazi, who bought a social media platform because he was so desperate for approval he decided to buy it…

              and you’re comparing that to some fucking totally random popular feminist who made literally a baby’s first feminist analysis video series???

              anita wasn’t trying to solve every feminist issue in the world, you realize? she wanted to make the videos she wanted to make.

              anita’s videos didn’t bully or harass anyone, they didn’t go on and on about how men demand respect because of their genitals, they didn’t personally target anyone. they did a very introductory analysis into feminist theory for media criticism.

              thunderf00t’s average video is significantly worse than the worst thing anita ever did.

              also, why the fuck would i lie about being from europe… you’re just wrong and you want to jump to conclusions…

                You lost me at:

                literally a baby’s first feminist analysis video series???

                The field of feminism, particularly in video games, is wide and old. Start with Nina Huntemann.

                Grifters gonna grift and cash in on other’s work and victim points.

                Also, when the average US american tells you they’re italian or Irish c’ause peepaw was Italian/Irish I’m skeptical. Also your post history is full of americanisms.

                Go read some research and then come back to lecture me about feminism.

                  yeah fuck off, i am not lowering myself to debate feminism with anyone who is a self-confessed fan of the author of the feminism vs facts video series… get a fucking grip on reality.

                    “lowering myself” to debate feminism with someone citing academic research when my only argument is self-serving.
