Turk has very strong feelings about the absolute, irredeemable evil of the KKK. Less so racist groups or individuals in his own country.
I mentioned the Arminian Genocide in replies to a post about this & got several "They had it coming" replies. Not from him, but it shows how popular the sentiment is over there.
A lot of developing world people think racism is evil but only when it's done by an outgroup.
If ever there was someone the term "grifter" applied to, it's accounts in Bali or Pakistan or wherever who make content about da ebil Nazis, klansmen, etc, but never make such commentary about anything closer to home.

When I read the first sentence I was like, "That absolutely did not happen, WTF are you on?" Then I realized, "Oh, you just mean the 1/3rd of the country that has refused to suck your mentally ill, chemically shrunken dong."
Seriously, people like this are completely batshit insane & become dangerous when they get an ounce of power.
This is the kind of person who has been ranting about how they're going to be put in camps since 2016, it never happens, & that never causes a moment of self-reflection. Cause by "camps" really they mean, "free to act as unhinged in public as I want, including around minors."
>"Creatives are much more left wing than the public"
No, creatives who are allowed to work in mainstream entertainment industries are. Very important distinction that The Atlantic accidentally admitted to.
Making good art takes time & effort. The phrase "Time is money" exists for a reason. People who struggle to pay bills & put food on their table obviously will have less time & other resources to invest in making art.
And then there's finding an audience, maybe the hardest part.
Combine all of this & you can see how creatives who have committed wrongthink can be throttled by simply denying them funds & platforms.
The left does this across the board, fervently. They are VERY concerned about maintaining an entertainment monopoly. But if you call them out..
@TheManlet_King likes to talk a lot about edgekino. The oughts were the 2nd age of edgekino in anime & manga. The 1st was obviously in the 80's.
The 2nd one had more focus on goyrls.
@TheManlet_King These shows had a pretty wide range of quality, but they all had some clear common threads. Goyrls, trauma, angst, ultraviolence, madness.
Just cause it's after Halloween doesn't mean we can't have another #stinepost.
Stine has written a lot of stinkers, & even his gems have a lot of rough edges, but funnily enough, a good way to judge his talents is compare his stinkers to others in adolescent pulp horror.
The book on the left is terrible (I did a short thread on some of the major problems) & might be Stine's worst, but it's also creative & weird, in a stupid way. It's still interesting.
The book on the right from MD Spenser's Shivers is HIS worst & is pure filler. A nothing book.
90's pulp publishing was always to a degree about sneaking sawdust into rice krispies, but Camp Fear is an example of a book that's pure sawdust.
Stine is a kid at heart I think, & even when he's bad he's usually not boring cause he's good at making up wacky, stupid bullshit.
I have to give some criticisms here.
Non-political Wikipedia articles are still quite reliable. Political Wikipedia articles either cite popularized lies from the MSM, have "technically true" but misleading info, or are accurate if there's no western left motive to manipulate.
In short, Wikipedia, like once-popular "fact-checker" sites, aren't worthless to the discerning reader, even though much of their content is designed to mislead the NON-discerning reader.
As for fan-wikis, those can be started by anyone & say anything, so...
At worst, fan wikis tend to favor people with a lot of time to waste, so one could argue that tends to disproportionately be unemployed left-wing tr00ns.
But there's no reason chuds can't start their own wikis, & have in numerous instances. I wish there were more based wikis tbh.
Moral guardians fill an inevitable vacuum of society, but when moral guardians are amateur volunteers, most of them end up being stupid people & attack "vibes" without understanding WHY wrong things are wrong.
Hence "pedophilia is when certain types of clothes or hair styles."
See also:
>Thin short women being in romantic relationships is pedophilia
>Members of a majority group sticking up for themselves is Nazism
>Fascism is when military uniforms
Etc, etc.
Moral guardians were genuinely better when they were all nuns & monks. Full time professionals.
Also, cause in the medieval ages you could join a convent as an alternative to being executed for being on the wrong side of a war there was actually more diversity of personality type
