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

i think it's cool and good that fascists just get to lie about shit that happens and there's never a system to correct those lies so we have a whole political class that just believes in a full alternate reality
they think antifa burned all the cities to the ground, they think that the attempted pelosi assassination was a gay assignation gone wrong, they think every school shooting is a false flag, they think schools are installing litterboxes for children
they think that satanists are going to give their kids rainbow fentanyl and that democrats are doing pizza parlor sex trafficking and all kinds of wild shit and they just live like that and there's absolutely no method to shut it down
Trans people have been under threat, but Elon Musk is firmly on the side of the transphobes and wants to make the platform friendlier to them. That, combined with the rising tide of anti-Semitism, is really bad news.
Accounts like Matt Walsh, Libs of TikTok and Chris Rufo are spending their time openly promoting terrorism against children's hospitals and drag events.
We have something classified as a "gay disease" that actually spreads via close contact, not just sexual contact, in a rising tide of homophobia/transphobia/queer-hating. It's going to get out into the general population, and then it's going to spread among kids.
People are going to blame LGBTQ people for this. They're going to continue to do what accounts like ConceptualJames and LibsOfTikTok are doing: blame teachers, increase the moral panic about "groomers". Tucker Carlson will promote it.
Trans people are not a threat to your kids. Transphobes, who want some kind of genital inspections to be mandatory for participation in children's sports, are a threat to your children.
The people who relentlessly call all LGBTQ+ people groomers and pedophiles, muddying the waters and making it harder for abuse victims to report, are a threat to your children.
The people who are trying to keep all sexual education out of schools are enabling child sexual abuse, since it is easier to abuse children who don't have education about their own bodies.
Elon Musk is a fucking pathetic little twerp with nothing but desperation and memes in his brain. His ego bruises as easily as a 13 year old's despite him being a 50 year old man with 8 children.
His favorite books are the Culture novels by Iain Banks because he thinks the ship names are cool; he absorbed nothing of the post-scarcity utopian vision.
He is a fundamentally stupid person whose whole job is being the kind of "visionary" who pulls half-baked ideas out of his ass and forces other people to work around him. Every single one of his companies would work better with an absence of leadership than with him in the way.
