I'm not "lumping them in". There's clear evidence that Stormfront and the likes of A Voice For Men have been courting GamerGate. We can include right wingers like Breitbart.com in with that as well.
So just because stormfags (no idea who 'A Voice For Men' are so cant comment on them) are trying to troll this thing for their own goal, a leaderless movement is thus a bunch of stormfags? I don't think you want to go down that road.
And I'm not going down that road, because I didn't say that. Racism is alive and well within what's left of GamerGate though, after all it's a movement that grew out of 4chan's /pol/ (Politically Incorrect) board. And their use of racist and anti-Semitic language, their knee-jerk defence of the Confederate flag, and their dependence on conspiracy theories about Jews and "Cultural Marxists" amongst other things are all large red flags.
Are all members of GG racist? No. Is it a right-wing reactionary movement party driven by racism - absolutely 100%.
Fair enough, the subtlety of the tone is sometimes a bit hard to read.
If I didn't know any better I would almost think that you think rightwing is something bad. I'm (center) rightwing, am I a bad person? I know my soul is as black as tar but you know what I mean.
Of course I don't think you're bad for being (center) right wing. But there's far right elements courting the members of GamerGate. Go look into the hateful shit Milo Yiannopolous of Breitbart writes for instance.
However, you use of "f*g" as a pejorative term is more likely to make me think you're a bad person. So, y'know... Don't do it. Thanks.
I have no problems with gay people, more than I'm willing to go into details here. The concept of 'stormfag' has been coined to annoy those zealots, not because people think less of gay people (in a similar manner to how Russian trolls are referred to as 'roosters'). No ill intent was meant, and ill redact it. |
