@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (1/) Fancy seeing you here. I can say that I'm remembering you mentioning how you were a fan of Mangs until he left you disillusioned, and now that I am looking at your commentary that shows you've been having a head on your shoulders, I do have something to say.

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (2/) It was shortly enough before I even saw this post how I was remembering how people like FieryJinx on deviantArt were also Mangs supporters who legitimately were in the dark.

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (3/) It's a mercy that people who genuinely are anti-Mangs would inevitably leave evidence that they're not scummy characters through how confounding things inevitably prove to be. That helps reduce confusion significantly. We need more of that.

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (4/) As you can guess, I'm pointing out that Kartal is a particularly heinous mole. He claims to be anti-Mangs, so WHY bolster the accusations against the likes of Mekkah when they are obviously fake? That does nothing but confuse the issue. Yet here he is doctoring "proof."

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (5/) If Kartal really was anti-Mangs, he would instead be helping to spread the word about things like Nyvelion's unfairly deleted post. What he is doing with his power, his show of his true colors, is trying to derail efforts to combat Mangs w/ slander. He's a VERY enabled liar.

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (6/) Between this and INCREDIBLE shallowness of Mangs supporters and people like the FE subreddit's common populace, it becomes a nightmare to find people like FieryJinx, or especially anybody who would make the effort needed to make the big push to cut off Mangs' power for good.

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (7/) It hasn't even helped that the Advance Wars communities are already right-leaning well before Mangs came by. They involve a darwinistic system and do not care if their Sacred Cow will spew racist rhetoric or mock lust-induced murder victims. Mangs got something to exploit.

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (8/) Treatment of women is also its own hot topic. If people think they can just accuse me of being a White Knight, hey, how about that, I can just think for myself and screen the unwelcome personalities regardless of appearance.

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (9/) Even involving appearance, all a seemingly random hula girl would have to do for me would show me her INDIVIDUAL appeal. Show me I'd be having a friend I could work with, not simply a pretty face with a vagina, to avoid a cheap numbers game.

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (10/) I want to bring this up: in the first half of 2020, I was already annoyed with how things were going with the Vic Mignogna case. Texas, oh so wonderful state it is, just gave the case to his accusers without caring to hear out plentiful evidence including LAW EVASION.

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (11/) To make this clear, KickVic are clout chasers, and their publicly viewable actions show as much, no matter how much KickVic claims it's slander while going "la la la, I can't hear you."

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (12/) I already have had to deal with that brand of arrogance from family members. There is never any way to convince people like that. All they do is distort efforts to combat the ACTUAL abuses. False accusations and their supporters do that.

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (13/) It was a problem when it happened against ChuggaaConroy as well because of MasaeAnela's disloyalty. Backstabbing with information omission is one thing. Doing it when already having pretended to be this vibrant friend is another and QUICKLY earns my ire.

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (14/) So why do I go after Mangs? Because he represents everything wrong with the system: an unrepentant lecherous scumbag being given power by a populace who wants entertainment at all costs, with efforts to stop him being undermined by people who will exploit legitimate causes.

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (15/) Who I could also be calling the "unrepentant lecherous scumbag" in that statement aside, Mangs' power fantasy is being this powerful emperor watching gladiator battles and going on pillaging "quests" with the very act of treating women as property being pleasure to him.

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (16/) And if women want to object? Well, I'd say to look through Andaron Saga, but then you'd have to DL it, when we should leave the crawling through that mud to those who can testify about its corrupt garbage like saying women either cater to his sick whims or get demonized.

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (17/) Here's what I can point out with a work I want to make: sure, an important character is a Manic Pixie Dream Girl who gets enamored with the Chivalrous Pervert protagonist, while having a demeanor that doesn't show her to be aware of any amorous intent from him toward her.

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (18/) The big thing is, the protagonist actually protects her, the first time they meet and then in a persistent pattern. And when he knows for sure that she's a Sheep In Sheep's Clothing, he's interested in finding a way to make sure she won't thoughtlessly stay with him.

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (19/) I still bring up the MPDG herself because I'm realizing she could prove to be a Magnificent Baddie, even without adding given behavior in order to guarantee that as well. And this is a point I had actually been sitting on for a long time without recognizing as much.

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (20/) If you don't get it, let me put it this way: the MPDG, by intended general design alone, is as wise to the protagonist's carnal interests, as younger AndrAIa in ReBoot was when talking to Enzo saying "you're the Guardian, you know best."

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (21/) Please excuse me if I'm being so boastful, but I want to at least provide an idea of the effort that Mangs and his supporters can only dream of. The work I'm wanting to make would inevitably involve the topic of sexism. I'm still wanting to treat that much with care.

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (22/) I also want to make it clear that no, I do not find women to be automatically bad AT ALL. I am simply recognizing that too many women pull behaviors showing how vice has won with them, and a system that enables their arrogance for too long just asks to implode on itself.

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (23/) My efforts being stuck against their just demonizing me, too often w/o any effort at explanation, has hindered my attempts to help combat actual scum like Mangs. Some day, they'll beg for my help when their very actions will have left me in a position unable to provide it.

@ArceorKoga @Mekkkkah (24/) And that's what hurts the most: people getting themselves hurt by only ever being Fair Weather Friends at best. It shows when there were so many red flags with Mangs before July 2020. Things never improve because of that.
