The "Skeptic Community" as a whole has revealed themselves to be a gigantic joke.
These "Skeptics" first appeared to be pretty reasonable people (during the times of Gamergate to be specific). It turns out that they're fine with authoritarian methods as long as it doesn't interfere with THEIR personal interests. Everyone else's personal interests, though? The Skeptics seem to be fine with it.
Fuck 'em.
It seems like it what happens to every single issue/ideology hugbox, when growth stops, they turn on each other. Look at KiA, or Atheism+, the same thing happened. The "impure" get pushed out, the community figureheads start going more extreme. Not necessarily because they believe in the cause, but because they want to protect their power in the community.
As far as heads on the chopping block go, the "Skeptics" that come to mind:
- Shoe
- Greg
- Sargon
- Vee
Kraut- Chris Raygun
- Jeremy
- Randomercam (and the HoneyBadgers)
Mundane Matt
Venti was the only major critic to go after June so far, and while it did point out a lot of hypocrisy, it didn't quite make waves like with Metokur's videos on Matt and Kraut. I figure that they'll inevitably do something dumb for everyone else to see, and end up drawing a lot more ire in the future. Though we can only wait and see when that will actually happen...
