>Shut up and listen
If Wu could sit down and take her own fucking advice for once the world would be a better place.

But if that were the case, we wouldn't have this thread, and we wouldn't be simultaneously amused, baffled, and offended by the insane shit she comes up with.

But since we're here on offensive shit, can someone tell Wu to shut the fuck up about the shooting and at least wait until the bodies are interred in the ground before she starts blaming an entire class of people for the shit caused by one psychotic twat? Because if you want #Privileged, I could go on about the #Privilege that should be checked by dumb, arrogant fuckwits who think that national tragedies and hate-motivated shootings that aren't even a week old are the perfect soapbox to preach their moronic beliefs, as if that wasn't at all downplaying or outright shutting out the real tragedy and suffering being endured by the actual victims of the incident.

Wu, check your privilege. You aren't involved. Stop trying to be.
 

It's handy that all the things which are gonna solve black people being murdered can be done using Twitter.

If there were ever to be an example of the over inflated level of self importance the Twitter follower count causes then this would be it.

Imagine if Twitter were really just an internet forum (which it pretty much is) and someone with almost 50K posts was telling you that Americas troubles could be solved just by quoting black people on that forum in your posts.
 
I find it amusing that the people who burp out nonsense about privilege and social justice are the same ones who've faced no challenges in their lives and have never managed a "grown-up" job. I work in programming on a team of about 20 people. We have a couple of black guys here (one of them is a supervisor), a few Hispanics, a Canadian, a few women, a gay guy (that's me!), and an FtM transgender.

None of us give a shit. We show up to work, we interact with each other like adults, and we get work done. At no point does anyone hesitate or hold some bullshit opinion about a group of people. The same mouth that I suck dick with is the one I use to present projects to upper management. And no one gives a shit. Because we're grown-ups. SJW's will never attain this level of enlightenment because they're permanent children.
 
1. #WhitePrivilege

Maybe you should not trivialize the loss of life of many people by the actions of a crazy and horrible person by using as ammo in a shitty twitter war, Wu.

The guy is a crazy racist, there is a problem in the US about how they percive race and you are not helping by going "SEE SEE I'AM-- WE ARE RIGHT. CHECK YOUR WHITE PRIVILAGE BOWLCUTS"

I was thinking about Total Biscuits comments about "culture critics" riding the coattails of AAA games to boost their careers. I made a post in another thread about how SJWs on Twitter are a lot like the Angry Video Game Reviewer types, and I think that's what Wu is doing here, that's her goal, to become another Sarkeesian and not have to even pretend to work anymore. She rode and will continue to ride the victim train to get her Twitter follower count up and now she wants to become a sort of liberal pop-culture rock star that just flies around and gives speeches. Certainly beats serving lattes all day.

SJW-shit first got thick online around 5 - 7 years ago. That's currently how long it takes for these things to go from "something I see people bitching about on social media" to "something I see on prime time television". This stuff we're seeing now, with them using people and lying to climb to the top, I predict it will take about that long, maybe less, from when it really took off online before people start talking about it outside of the internet. Since these people operate by joining media-related positions since it's the path of least resistance as far as education goes for a career, I predict this stuff will only continue to spread. I think that, similar to how reviewers like TB and Yahtzee caused game reviewers to become a hugely popular field that every gamer seems to have tried emulating at some point, and similar to how The Indie Movie spurred countless gamers to learn to be game devs, this stuff with Wu and Sarkeesian are going to prompt more and more SJWs to copy them. I think Phil trying to say GG did a drive by is an example of that. Victim status -> Patron -> Culture Critic. It's like how in the 80s a model could become famous not for what she did, but for fucking a rock star or having a scandal. Internet oppression is just a fabricated scandal meant to produce instant popularity among the listen and believe types.

My point is she's in it to get paid. #BlackLivesMatter as long as her follower count goes up. If it stops she'll find a new cause to champion.
 
From the Gamergate thread, we have this:

I just checked RationalWiki, looks like Ryulong is still there, and from what I saw on the Gamergate talk page, he still has a ton of people supporting his one man mission to declare Gamergate evil incarnate, and Arcane (aka GethN7, the guy who runs All The Tropes) tried to express some polite pro-Gamergate dissension against the tone of the article, and he got dogpiled and shit on.

He made a post about it here:

Here's a related post:

https://www.voat.co/v/allthetropes/comments/116521

Which links to this post on Voat:

All The Tropes said:
In previous posts, I have indicated my sympathy for the pro-Gamergate crowd, if only because I found them much less detestable than the antis as a whole.

Now, thanks to Wikipedia allowing blatant bullshit as opposed to actual fact on the Brianna Wu article because it goes against the narrative of the apparent SJWs, I'm now a proud, open supporter of pro-Gamergate.

For those who don't care to click that link, it's me on Wikipediocracy expressing my misgivings with their policy on Biography of Living Persons, where I noted politely on the talk page that Brianna Wu was born John Walker Flynt, and despite my own bias, which I carefully noted in advance, I felt it would be in the interests of honesty to note Wu was not born female, as the Wikipedia article on Wu would lead one to believe.

My reward for daring to challenge the narrative was my objection removed, then suppressed, and I was also sent a not so subtle threat on my Wikipedia talk page I was treading on sacred ground and I would be purged as a heretic if I continued to push the issue.

I know when the table is tilted and the game is rigged, so I assured the same Wikipedian who followed me to Wikipediocracy (and delivered the not so subtle threat) I had no intention of forcing the issue, and I don't, as the corruption is manifest and those in power have become corrupted regarding their BLP policy, and I would be a fool to think I can reverse the rotting corpse that has become Wikipedia's integrity concerning the biographies of living people.

Instead, I chose to finally cast my lot with the pro-GamerGate side, whom I sympathized with but to this point avoided taking allegiance to, mostly because I hoped the perversion of honesty practiced by the anti-side was not as bad as I thought.

All this incident did was confirm they have sunk their tentacles into Wikipedia, of all places, and as long as they are in power, Wikipedia will have a bias in favor of their ideology, even if that means objective fact must be Orwelled out of existence to suit their narrative.

The above noted, I reiterate what I have said in earlier posts about my position as founder of All The Tropes and as a staff member of Orain: In those capacities, I am a neutral party on the subject of Gamergate or related matters, and I will recuse myself or abstain from any partisanship if those issues are raised in either sphere of influence, but purely from a personal standpoint, I declare myself an open enemy of the anti-Gamergate side and will do whatever I can to oppose their love of censorship, and I leave all anti-Gamergaters with a final message:

Regardless of the merit of your position, and even if you are correct, a position based on obfuscating truth and propagating lies is a greater shame than the harshest truth, and anyone who wishes to flee from that reality deserves no sympathy when they are forced to face their own deceptions.

So we have a case of... How was it that you so eloquently put it, @Smutley? Red-Pilling, wherein someone who was an avowed neutral is now a pro-GGer, as was the case for many others, but it's brought to light a new and perhaps more chilling fact to consider. We know well by know that Brianna Wu wrote her own article, and, conversely, Wu's own behavior in regards to false-flagging and harassment - and we likewise know well by know Wu's advocacy of the likes of the SJWiki and the like.

How far do you think Wu would go to keep her trans status out of the articles? I again cite that Wu's transgendered status may only be a footnote in why she's a terrible person, but it's also a great example of her duplicitous nature. Anyone familiar with Wu, I encourage you to chime in and give your insight.

It also drives home how important it is that I finish work on Wu's article on Lolcow Wiki.

I think SJ is just a default interest for unflavored people. All the people I know who went full-on "beards are racist" social media sperg are people who want to look helpful and productive but really have no desire to engage with the world in any meaningful way. Life for them is having an office job that gets you through until you are next able to watch a superhero movie in bed on your phone. Everyone is as boring as them, and if someone winds up experiencing life differently from them it is because of a series of inevitable events set in motion by the privilege fairies.

And of course, there are no boundaries with these people. If our mouths are for sucking dick then that is our "identity" and that's all we're going to talk about from now on. Our oppression doesn't stop in the board room so why should we act any differently there?
