So is the Sweet Baby, Inc. thing gonna start Gamergate 2: Electric Boogaloo?

'Cause I got a feeling that this'll be framed as a "harassment campaign" pretty soon...
Here we go...
From Kotaku: "Sweet Baby Inc. Doesn’t Do What Some Gamers Think It Does"

Oh wait, TheGamer also tried to spin this a day ago.

Oh, and look: Eurogamer's running defense, too!

THEGAMER IS AT IT AGAIN. "Ignore DEI, attack late-stage capitalism!"

The Mary Sue enters the battlefield, with the party line: "It's all a conservative conspiracy theory."

GameReactor has also come out in defense of SBI. They gave some consideration to the criticisms people have, but still mischaracterized them. And they claim SBI employees are being harassed with no consideration to the harassment they engaged in.

The Guardian throws in with the "far-right conspiracy theory" line. Also calls on the greater gaming industry to condemn the criticism of SBI.

MEDIA MATTERS HAS ENTERED THE FIGHT. THIS IS BEING SPUN AS A POLITICAL ISSUE NOW.

There we go. GameDeveloper calls the Steam curator group part of a "harassment campaign."

Passionfruit (a Daily Dot spinoff) is the first one to cover the campaign against the "Sweet Baby Inc. Detected" group... but says the curation page qualifies as "harassment."

DHS-funded Take This officially calls it Gamergate 2, and also calls it a "harassment campaign."
Folks, it's happening again.

This is the old thread I used to respond to whenever #GunControlNow was trending. It's outdated, and I wanna do a comprehensive thread now. So here's a new one.
Everybody tweeting #GunControlNow or #GunReformNow, lemme run through all the arguments and explain to you why they're wrong. I'm only here to educate, nothing more. You're allowed to disagree, but read through everything first. Let's roll.
ARGUMENT 1
"Assault weapons were made for war. They were created for the sole purpose of killing as many people as possible as quickly as possible. They have no place in the hands of private citizens."

This hinges on the definitions of "assault weapon" and "weapon of war."

>Trump told his supporters not to vote by mail, that's why the mail-in ballots are swinging for Biden!
Trump said he thought vote-by-mail wasn't secure, and presented an opportunity for widespread voter fraud. This is why Trump voters came out in person.
<begin thread>
So when you have all of these ballots that are heavily swinging for Biden, it's gonna reinforce that claim that mail-in votes were used to prop up Democratic numbers.
This ignores the fact that Democrats requested absentee ballots by significantly larger margins than Republicans.
Republicans still turned out elsewhere. They've flipped 8 House seats already, and will likely have more once the final tallies are in.
So why weren't the numbers there for Trump? Could it be widespread voter fraud from the avalanche of mail-in ballots. I have an idea.

"I'm 16 and Marxist-Leninist!"
No, Sarah, you're a teenager from an upper-middle-class household who's trying to get some social clout online because you're bored and rebellious. Stop screwing around and do your chores.
"My pronouns are fae/faer."
No they're not, and you have never corrected anybody when they used "she" or "her" to refer to you. You're just trying to feel unique and special because you lack the artistic talents that your peers have.
"I'm a learning MLM."
No, Jennifer, you watched a couple of Breadtube videos after quitting your job at the grocery store. You're not going to read State and Revolution, but you're probably going into a different MLM—multi-level marketing.

I hate this.
Pushing people into going political if they don't want to do is wrong. I'll never forget how people hammered on Taylor Swift when she didn't talk about who she was voting for in 2016.
Now, if they choose to do it, that's fine. But they shouldn't be pressured to.
And I know the argument against this is, "Well, they DID want to, else they wouldn't have started talking politics." And sure, that might be the case, but calling someone "naïve" if they choose not to publicly engage with it is demanding content (or worse, activism) out of them.
You, as a member of their audience, do not have the right to demand what they do with their time, or how they go about making content. We've heard this countless times, too. "It's my show/channel/page, let me do what I want to do." You need to respect that.

Nobody's saying that Biden/Harris will repeal the 2nd Amendment.
What they ARE saying is that they'll undermine gun rights by restricting assault weapons and >10 round magazines under the NFA, requiring a $200 tax stamp and ATF registration to own them.
washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/0…
Perspective: NFA covers things like suppressors, short-barreled rifles and shotguns, automatic weapons (manufactured before 1986), and explosives/"destructive devices."
If you want to own them, you have to register them individually and pay a $200 tax for each one.
So, let's say this plan passes. I have two rifles that would be considered "assault weapons." I also have 5 30-round rifle magazines, 2 12-round pistol mags, and 2 15-round pistol mags. Under this plan, I'd have to pay $1200 in taxes to continue to own all of them.
