reminder that mike cernovich is a rape apologist who has repeatedly advocated for coercing women into sex
remember the time he hired a private investigator to hound a witness so that he could get a plea deal and not prosecuted for rape? infinite scream remembers
remember how he still was charged with battery after that? infinite scream remembers
remember the time someone who listened to one of his conspiracy theories went into a pizza place and tried to shoot it up? infinite scream remembers
remember this? infinite scream remembers
remember when someone who believed cernovich's conspiracy theory about the left being a secret cover for a massive pedophilia ring and who sincerely wanted to be the next cernovich stabbed his own father to death? infinite scream remembers
remember the many times cernovich came to the defense of kyle "based stickman" chapman, a violent white supremacist who became well known after people circulated photos of him assaulting multiple protesters?
remember the time he did fundraising for kyle chapman after he was charged with felony possession of a leaded stick during a "march for trump" event where weapons were prohibited? infinite scream remembers
he also was centrally involved in gamergate, a hate movement dedicated to driving women, trans people and people of color out of the games industry and out of games journalism by harassing and threatening them
in addition to his deeply misogynist claims, like that date rape does not exist, the various ways he has encouraged his followers to commit acts of violence, he spreads dangerous health advice, including that you can prevent HIV and other STDs with coconut and tea tree oils
i could frankly not give a shit about james gunn (hey disney: give guardians back to nicole perlman) but seriously: stop listening to mike cernovich
it's also frankly disgusting that people give more of a shit about a director who will obviously be fine than about this theverge.com/2018/7/12/1756…
anyway that's something to scream about
ps: don't make fun of the lisp, there are perfectly decent people who don't go around advocating rape while accusing everyone they dislike of being a pedophile who have lisps and that shit hurts them too
