TGWTG Nostalgia Chick / Lindsay Ellis / TheDudette - aka Hotdogs in face girl

So much for only using Twitter to promote content.

Both Lindsay and Contra are stuck in the cancel cycle. They anger the mindless mob, they try to explain, mob makes more demands, they explain more... back and forth covering the same ground over and over, circling the drain.

I dislike both of them but they should just stop talking about this shit and ignore the mob. They are not right-wing, so no one's going to write an NYT article on why they're an evil racist who needs deplatforming or protest outside their homes. All they are getting is catty comments on social media. Just move on.

Oh wait, they're both stunted narcissists who think Twitter is real life. Nevermind.
They’re like an injured gazelle and the woke mob are the hyenas circling around them. They can “explain” all they want but they’re just giving the hyenas an “in” by giving themselves a greater chance to fuck up further. There is an old saying in politics, if you’re explaining, you’re losing. Anyone who thinks Lindsay is in a better position than before is kidding themselves. Some people get taken down right away, others take a while.

They both spent years cultivating an audience of easily offended pseudointellectual psychos on twitter. This is what they get.

And no, they do not represent the entire left. Contra may actually make some convincing arguements in her videos, as long as one with half a brain cell does not get an aneurism from the endless skits.
Ellis... yeah, most people on the left don't give a fuck about Disney films as means of oppression. It takes a special type of person to be absorbed by this topic.
 
Uh.

Well, they kind of do.

The actual left has been crushed by indifference. The Clinton democrats purged them, Obama/Biden repudiated the youth movement who got them elected. Hillary is a girlboss who got sandbagged by sexism. Right. She can't even read emails without breaking a few federal laws. She bungled Libya and the healthcare bill. If I were a real prick, I could point out that a 73-yo woman is hopelessly out of date. I'm struggling to think of a single achievement by this woman, but Reddit wants me to believe that she's a wonk.

The left couldn't even nominate a guy running on just healthcare. So we get Idpol and waffle.
Yes, your left sucks and you are ruining it for the rest of the world
 
Does he or is she just dilusional? Is his mom hateable? I don't get why she would care?
Some guy on twitter was complaining about personal attacks on Snyder in movie reviews. He said he was tired or reading things like "ZS hates his mom". Ellis made a joke like "But he does hate his mom!" and the next day his daughter's suicide was announced.

Stupid joke, unfortunate timing, but there are plenty of other things to give her shit about.
 
I know this sounds hyperbolic but I do think that people like Ellis, Natalie, and Anita do represent what the Modern Left has become.
Back when I was somewhat left- leaning, I can't tell you how many people I saw embrace these three on a daily basis.
They pioneered talking points but the former two have now become victims of the beast they created.
Despite all of my critiques I'm not trying to say the right is always in the light but it's clear who has more emotional weight in our modern environment.
Almost everything is coated in leftist idealism and that gets compounded by their power online
 
It's not hyperbolic at all, it's why Jon Stewart became a hermit after the Rally to Restore Sanity.

Mockery only takes you so far Sooner or later you need policies of your own. All they've got is bad fiscal policy and a rumpy of wishy washy social issues. They're remarkably effective, considering the public ought to be sympathetic for everything the left stands for.
Exactamundo.
The left love to banish anybody who has a dissenting opinion and then act like such a thing doesn't exist.
I see some honest-to-god good people get bashed consistently just because somebody somewhere found a tweet from a decade ago.
It's almost like if you make a single mistake you're branded Thanos levels of evil and are somehow irredeemable which is funny until it happens to one of them

Reminds me of the 1793 political cartoon depicting Robespierre, having executed every last person in France, being left with no one else to execute but the executioner himself.

Just as the French Revolution devoured its own children, all social and political movements that become zealously and self-righteously obsessed with enforcing inflexible ideological / moral purity will inevitably cannibalize themselves.
 
Gosh, why is everyone so mean to Hontra? Lindsay white knights, again.

The accusers are always mistaken or misinformed when it comes to Lindsay and her friends. Funny that.
No one is reading all that, Lindsay, except the people who are still looking for ways to cancel you. That's why you have to disengage completely. You don't get cookie points for addressing the charges with "nuance" or having a "wider conversation" or "sincerely apologizing." You have to cut them off cold turkey. Once they get you thinking about what the best way would be to apologize (Twitter or YouTube? Dismissive or emotional?), they already won. Just treat them like the bullies they are and ignore.
Does he or is she just dilusional? Is his mom hateable? I don't get why she would care?
Zack's mom is dead, and he has talked about her being his hero, so no, she's wrong and delusional. She cares because Snyder is cool to hate, for some reason, probably because he's not an abuser like Joss Whedon, and that drives bloggers insane. They are constantly doing the footdance of trying to find something problematic to explain why they dislike his films, instead of just saying they don't like them for personal reasons.
