alt-right rhetoric, youtube
"So rather than being a soy JS dev pretending to know stuff about security..."
Well, at least it's helpful when video creators on YouTube signal how shitty they are within the first minute or so. Saved me a watch, I guess.
alt-right and gamergate stuff from a decade ago, re: alt-right rhetoric, youtube
@joepie91 I'm mostly joking... I think, but it would be so much easier to deal with shitty people if they weren't constantly trying to hide their shittiness so they can manipulate others into becoming like them too
Like many white trans women I've encountered, when I was a teenager I fell for a lot off anti-SJW and gamergate shit because I just, believed the lies, because the people spreading them made it very easy to just not notice a lot of the insidiousness if you weren't already primed for it in some way
Thankfully I never fully slid down that rabbithole and when I realized the real sexism, transphobia and racism behind the "haha Tumblr SJW said ridiculous thing" I managed to get out and "became an SJW" as I would've put it back then. Even later I found out that many of the "Tumblr SJWs", especially the more ridiculous ones, were sockpuppet accounts designed to make attacking the whole group seem ok 😬
transphobic slur, re: alt-right rhetoric, youtube
@joepie91 I wish transphobes would just preface everything with "fuck off tranny", at least I wouldn't end up accidentally giving them any credence and then finding out they were shitty much later
