I'm curious as to why no one has hit upon the practice of not giving a fuck what Tumblr thinks.

It gets pretty tiring to have everything you say or do on the internet make petulant tumblrites scream in your ear even if it has nothing to do with the subject at hand, if people scouring through their tweets for anything they can perscribe as ~problematic~ is any indication

Yeah, except there's three ways to fight that.

1. Wall of Silence
Set Twitter to protected. Go complete radio silent. Wait for shitstorm to blow over (which it will, because outrage-factories are always on the hunt for their fix). Strategically isolate the loudest voices and block them manually and encourage your associates to do the same. Report the ones that are breaking the fucking law or violating the TOS. Uncloak as if nothing ever happened, ignore all responses from the usual suspects, march forward in pride like a boss.

2. @GethN7 Gambit
Take them head-on. Never lose your cool. Systemically dismantle every argument with candor and disarming levels of decency. This will drive them fucking insane. Stay in the rules at all times. Weaponize the system. Force your opponents to engage in pants-shitting levels of rage because they can't deal with someone being polite and understanding, then quietly feed their harassing posts into the very system they helped cultivate. Sip your martini and smile as your opposition self-destructs.

3. Fuck the World
Burn it all. Defy your opposition. Wear their fucking labels. Trigger them, and show them how little you give a shit about what their stupid fucking opinions are. Feature offensive (to them, but within the rules) shit all the time on your timeline. Claim to be a Muslim and call them Islamophobic for harassing you. Pretend to issue Fatwas. Call in Kekistani air support. Upload images of your most autistic detractors' shitposts to the Kiwi Farms. Laugh. Laugh at everything, for the lulz must flow.

I hope to one day be skilled enough to pull off the GethN7 Gambit.
 
The way the artist handled it was generally fine imo. She just heard what people were saying, got corrected on one point (that one of the characters was trans), defended the rest of her positions, and then logged off when it was clear that no more reasonable discussion was going to be had. People have lives; not everything in the world has to be a super autismal SJW-owning gambit.
 
It's not that simple, artists make a living from reputation, ohnips has a patreon and a webcomic, if she becomes known as thansphobic/racist and it's not adressed then it's going to hurt her image forever. Another thing is that, unlike other cases of artists being harassed no one actually feels bad here or is willing to forgive. That tweet from the game developers had no effect, everyone thinks it was justified and will keep harassing and sending threats to the artist.

I think she is just taking some time off until people forget it which i think it's the smartest way to handle it.
 
It's interesting that pretty much all of these attacks against her take for granted that she's sexist/racist/transphobic. That's not up for debate or has to be established. All discussion can only revolve around how much of a racist/sexist/transphobe she is and how much of a racist/sexist/transphobe you are for defending her even in the smallest degree.

And I doubt a lot of the people who contribute to the harassment even give a shit about Dream Daddy. It's just the same old rat king dynamic on a bigger scale. Shitting on this person is an opportunity to show the clique that you're with them. Shit on her harder to gain more favor. Defend her or stay silent on the subject and risk getting ejected from the clique or becoming a target yourself. It's such a toxic shit show.

Man they're going to be super embarrassed if she turns out to be literally anything but white.

She's white though, they already used pictures of her to make fun of her appearance because, say it with me, "it's okay when we do it".

Yikes.

Getting a bit off-topic here, it seems Ohnips did have more nigga/nigger tweets but probably cleaned them out while she was locked. Funnily enough, the people who keep fueling all this Dream Daddy drama are still sharing screenshots with each other but not a single one thought to back anything up before starting this mess.

This one's kinda funny without context.

She said yesterday that she has said nigga and nigger in friendly contexts, and claims to have a black boyfriend who also say this, that tweet was also deleted..

The artist says she is leaving all social media (for a while) due to harassment.

I respect her decision but this situation is so bullshit and unfair. After all that happened Tumblr still won.

Tumblr might have won now, but at a huge cost, this incident probably set a large negative stigma for the Dream Daddy fandom and will be seen by many onlookers for months to come.
 
It's confirming the old internet adage that fujoshis en masse are cruel, petty, and won't let go of grudges. Especially when it comes to women.

I wonder how many Lolcows we can squeeze out of this one event? I'm guessing at least four.

Many didn't give a fuck about this game to begin with, but now that it's had this happen, their enthusiasm is in the negatives. I almost feel bad for the dev team here, because the cult has declared it theirs and everyone else is going to stay the fuck away from it because nobody else needs that kind of aggravation. It's going to hurt sales like crazy and there's nothing they can do about it.

None of these people will actually buy it or play it.

One of the things I found fucking amazing about Social Justice Warriors of this subspecies is that even the ones who declare themselves emperor of a given fandom (Vade for example) don't give a shit about the game itself. In the Vade example, the self-proclaimed overlord of the TF2 Fandom has only played like 20 hours. Almost none of them give enough of a shit to devote their time to doing much more than complain.

Why am I not surprised that no mainstream gaming sites are covering this?

It makes the fandom look more autistic than Chris, so I'm not surprised at the outbreak of common sense.
 
Did anyone else notice the person in the twitter thread a few posts back that said "race is a social construct"?
