TGWTG Dan Olson / Folding Ideas - Pseudo-Intellectual Hipster, Child Pornographer, and All-Around Exceptional Individual

Oh you mean this thing? I found this a while ago in a Channel Awesome thread on 4chan. At first I thought it was just a look-alike, but when I compared it to a pic of Lindsay laying down, her shoulder blades do actually poke out like that.

Oh people actually found it. Well, there's that curiosity scratched.

"We have always been at war with Eastasia."

There's so much wrong with that statement at the end of the description and it provides such a terrifying insight into Dan's psyche I don't even know where to start. I mean, if you think GamerGate was nothing but a harassment campaign then fair enough, but to deny people the right to even debate that point is a special kind of scummy cowardice.

And as much as how we all have our own pre-disposition on GamerGate, not allowing debate isn't only scummy, it pretty much tries to cement ones own bias. Nothing historical about GamerGate. Only revisionism that could be applied to it was either thinking a poor woman was being harassed by terrorist led by a jilted ex or thinking SJW's will roam in gaming journalism unchecked with everyone believing every single lie. Olson's claim in saying anything against his narrative is revisionism doesn't help in any intellectual way.

It's also yet another example of the antis being far, far worse than the pros. Most of the pros were willing to at least listen to criticism of their movement. Sargon was one of GamerGate's biggest pundits and even he conceded there was harassment carried out as part of GamerGate (just nowhere near as much as the antis claimed). He also called out Davis Aurini and other pros over their bad behaviour, something the antis (and particularly Dan) never did with some of the more loathsome elements of their movement. In fact quite the opposite when you consider that they fell over themselves to defend a proven pedophile.

I find it funny that these types will always say things like "GamerGate being a harassment campaign is a proven fact" when they essentially list wikipedia as their source, the same place that using sources for still living people from "news" websites they are also personal friends with. As well as wikipedia policy stating it uses popular consensus to establish "truth" especially when it comes to biographies of still living persons. One of the many reasons knowyourmeme is a better source for internet news than wikipedia.
 
Speaking of, here's an excerpt from a Tumblr post called "Boy is Called into a School Meeting and You Won't Believe What Happens Next".

Holy shit, that is some epic level virtue signalling.

If your fellow students require weeks to read a book, then you must have been at one of those special schools you ride the short bus to, Dan. You shouldn't be bragging about being able to read a 4th grade level book in days, either. If it takes you more than an hour or two to read an Encyclopedia Brown book, then your parent's assessment of your illiteracy was correct.

No, Dan - reading "girly" novels doesn't mean that you can relate to women, gays, or trans*people, no more than reading "Roots" or "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" can make your pasty Canadian ass relate to black people.

But fine - go ahead and feel special because you read sci-fi/fantasy by Ursula K. LeGuin, CJ Cherryh, Anne Rice, Anne McCaffery, Octavia Butler, James Tiptree, Jr., or JK Rowling. Only you, and no one else reads their work. Just you, you special snowflake.

Feeling proud in doing mundane shit is top spergery.
I mean, he is proud because he read books. His life must be more empty than what I thought earlier.

Anything to feed his superiority complex will do, really. But yeah, him reading a lot is like saying "I don't fart in public" when trying to argue who's the better person in life.

It's that weird sort of bigotry where you read heaps of Baby Sitters Club books and then suddenly think you can relate to Women? I'm not sure if it's ego or stupidity? Can someone within the autism spectrum be that simple or egotistical?

This just gets more sad than anything else.

Yes. YES. It's not exactly a coincidence that there's a huge clinical overlap between people with ASD and gender dysphoria. Some just have aspergian views on gender, and figure that they must be a girl deep down because they never liked sports or roughhousing.
Obviously lots of healthy kids like doing stuff outside of their gender role, but it takes some weird degree of self-centeredness to interpret your love of books as an identity. And by identity I don't mean "mystery novel fangirl", I mean "I must have a wolf spirit since as a kid I was obsessed with animal books"

I find it funny that these types will always say things like "GamerGate being a harassment campaign is a proven fact" when they essentially list wikipedia as their source.

Additionally, the Wikipedia citations documenting where the harassment was organized contain no actual instances of organizing harassment. The citations are an IRC chatroom that predates Gamergate by a couple weeks, and a 4chan thread where one person suggested beating up Zoe Quinn and everyone told him to fuck off. In each link, there are no instances of anyone encouraging or suggesting that people harass or contact Zoe Quinn or whoever. Nor do any of the participants mention threatening Quinn.

One of the defining attributes of a harassment campaign should be, you know...actual campaigning, in favor of harassment. As in people rallying others to take specific actions.

But good luck pointing this out to the Wikipedians without 500 edits under your belt.
