NeoGAF & ResetERA - The Hilarious N̶e̶v̶e̶r̶e̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ Splintering "Gaming" Forum Circus

I think the argument made was something like lack of opportunity for advancement, as if Twitch Fortnite was somehow Proctor & Gamble and the only path for promotion was through your manager.
Like I said, as if people are entitled to his attention and audience.

100% if a woman didn't want to play with men for the same reasons there wouldn't be any drama.

If a woman refused to play with men she would be held up as a shining beacon of sensibility and reason, and we would see a flood of articles talking about how this is proof gaming is toxic.

"Let's just get rid of that lone, pesky right-wing media agency. They are a cause of all our problems!"

I really don't understand why people call Fox News propaganda or extremist. Just because they don't spin things to lean on your views means it's propaganda nor extremist; literal propaganda is far more devious than spinning a fucking story for bias' sake. WW2 is a good case study for what propaganda really looks like.
And they're hardly extremist because they report the exact same news as the rest of the media, though they're more watched and trusted than the rest, funny enough.
So I guess that's the threat he sees. People watching news he doesn't want them to see.

There is also the nuance on *what* news to report on. for example that South African farming issue only got a single thread about it, half the posts were about how it's not newsworthy, a quarter was BCT talking about retribution and then the thread got locked. Same story with trucks of peace.
 
He is certainly getting in all the regular reasons for why a free press needs to be suppressed.

I'm pretty sure that using state powers to shut down right-leaning news sites won't make the people who have right-leaning beliefs magically disappear. If anything, shutting those sites down would give credence to the belief that conservative view points are actively discriminated, and would create further resentment and even radicalization amongst conservatives.

Really, this is one of those things that sounds "good" in the short term, but would backfire horribly in the long term.
 
To quote B-Dubs: "Democracy doesn't work unless the people are properly informed."

He means, of course, "unless the people are thoroughly indoctrinated into agreeing with me exactly on every issue, no matter how minor, and harshly punished if they step out of line."

Of course, that isn't democracy, that's fascism.

Really, this is one of those things that sounds "good" in the short term, but would backfire horribly in the long term.

Reminder that REEEEEE only exists because of an incredibly dumb idea to try to take over NeoGAF in a coup that horribly backfired nearly immediately.

Cause and effect isn't even on the radar of these mental cases.
