Wow. I was wondering how long it would take for a thread about JonTron and racism to bring up the "but feministsssss" angle and boy did it not disappoint.

@tanderbolt It's an accurate school of thought, more often than not. But you DO have a point that certain people in political power, may use lies for political gain. I'll admit, I'm being simplistic as possible, because I'm responding to something that's so ridiculous, a legit debate will never happen. So I just gave a general rule.

It's pewdiepie is a Nazi all over again. It's just more labels and hit pieces to ruin someone's career...it's PURELY money that made journalists want to cover this shit anyway. And I will point out again, that the first is a crime based statistic. That has things that back that up...excluding the issue of (what does that mean and how do we solve that?) and people's answers for it. That seems like it very well may be backed up by evidence...I'll admit, if I'm wrong. But...just assuming it's evil because it sounds bad. (or maybe outlandish at first glance.) Blinds people to things I think a lot of people are blind to...Actual Facts.

@SleepingSilence

1. I'll call my threads whatever the hell I want.

2. His views do fall inline with white nationalist talking points, that's enough to raise a racism possibility.

3. Saying you dont want non white people to enter the genepool is racist, I dare you to talk your way around that.

4. I was speaking loosely, I said prob dont watch it as short hand for dont spend 5 hours listening out for maybe 5 or 6 extremish quotes from jon tron.

5. I dont care what labels 'people' use, I havent labeled anyone anything in this thread so this seems like strawman along with your climate change and facebook post, I could not give a crap, stay on topic.

It's pewdiepie is a Nazi all over again.

Wait, the JonTron thing? Because no.

Or like just in general.

@Fabricant451 I'm sorry...but he started it. <.<

But seriously, I didn't want to. But he said "a straw man about people using labels and saying everything is (insert label here)" and I showed him how and why that isn't a strawman...

Even as a feminist, you have to see the logical error of articles explaining why the AC is sexist...

The fun thing about JonTron is that I guess he's supposedly part Iranian. Like his father or grandfather or something came from Iran, but not only that was a major force in Iranian nationalist politics pre-Islamic Revolution. So it's almost ironic he's obsessing over white-nationalism where if the people really into it dug into his background they'd get into ground where they could call him part of the "problem" per the "extermination" of the white race.

But really, X-identity politics is pretty shit, nationalism anything needs to be pushed aside. It's good to be proud, but don't drag it out to beat the war drum.

@Garattee One day I'll make you like me, I swear. :P

<Snipped quote by Dynamo Frokane>

Where you called him racist? That's right here:

<Snipped quote by Dynamo Frokane>

There are several others too, but they're more insinuations than direct declarations. This is the one where you say it explicitly.

'Probably some sort of alt right persuasion' =/= Racist

especially cause I'm not calling him alt right, I'm saying he may be getting some of his information from these said groups.

But I'm absolutely insinuating he might be racist sure, white nationalist talking points are pretty close to what most people would consider racism.

gracias mi amor. I prefer people that are at least honest...>.< Have a different opinion, it's america you can't be jailed for it.

Edit: Instead of generalizations of characteristics I dislike. Here's a picture of a cat instead.

Fuckin not yet. Which is why we gotta get them special snowflakers locked up!

<Snipped quote by Garattee>

I'm in the "racism isn't a black and white issue" camp.

That's a pun.

Seems like a very accurate pun to me. :I

@Fabricant451 Though I admit. This isn't the first time, you made me giggle. You'd probably be fun with at a party. *not sarcasm* :P

The way he argues is like he looked up '5 WAYS TO DESTROY ANY LEFTY' from a Stefan Molyneux forum and then thought he could hang in a debate.

especially cause I'm not calling him alt right, I'm saying he may be getting some of his information from these said groups.

It's pretty insulting when you pretend you didn't say things that you very clearly did, just because they've backfired on you. This is a public forum. It's scummy enough when you do it where there's no physical evidence to demonstrate your backpedaling, but just short of you editing all your posts out, they're right there for everyone to see for themselves. Pretending you "didn't say" this or that is basically calling us illiterate, blind, stupid, or any combination of the three.

Again, here we go:

they got in a debate which REALLY exposed his views

really - adverb - in reality; actually; genuinely or truly (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/really). You even ALL-CAPSed it so we'd be sure to see it. Why use that word if you either don't know what it means or are not using it ingenuously?

@Dynamo Frokane

1. Never said you couldn't? Never told me why my title wasn't better.

2. Your claiming his views, fall in line with white nationalists...that right there is calling him racist. If you wanted to avoid that, you could of said. "The words, he spoke seemed to be white national talking points, which seems concerning." (views imply in his head and you CAN'T KNOW. What if he misspoke? His words, are at least more accurate. At least if he actually said all of this, like blah blah blah, without context.)

3. You repeat yourself a lot. Why dare me? Just ask me or humor me, or use something else. Makes it feels fresher, if you don't repeat the same things. *yes I'm being sarcastic.* Also which quote actually says that? Number 7? It doesn't say that...literally or figuratively.

4. Once again, didn't blame you. Though you like to assume I'm evil...you have a problem and assume motive from everything don't you? How about this...we each say something NICE about each other. (if you don't have anything, fucking make it up.)

*CLEARS THROAT* I like your banner. :D See? That couldn't of possibly made you angry in the slightest right? (I even meant it 100% genuine appreciation for your art taste.) Now you try...I believe in you. :D

5. B-but your using straw-man again...you-you KNOW what that word means right? It isn't a strawman...I just proved it otherwise...>.< That was the point...how did you miss the point? I didn't say you labeled, I said labeling is something commonplace for agenda based nonsense. ;-; I'm trying, so hard. Okay, you caught me not really.

Physical evidence now? I'm still waiting for your incontrovertible evidence back in the mass effect thread.

I'm sorry but this approach just isn't working, you think using these aggressive terms with me is going to get me to flame back or something.

I hold the opinion that you can hold some bigoted views that could be seen as pretty close to racism but still not be an outright dyed in the wool racist. As Ive said multiple times I think that hes come upon this 'info' quite recently and hasn't really been challenged enough to make his mind up yet OR he could be a racist who just happens to be shit at debating, I don't know, I'm admitting I don't know, hence my use of the word possibly.

You seem convinced I'm covering up something, like what am I really afraid of saying?

If I was convinced JonTron was a racist, I would clearly state that, Ive said more controversial things then that, believe me. Its not a big deal.

I hold the opinion that you can hold some bigoted views that could be seen as pretty close to racism

That's another thing, isn't it? If you're delusional enough to think that a Polish developer primarily hiring Polish employees is somehow "White Nationalism," then it's an even smaller stretch that you think JonTron is racist when he expresses what you very clearly believe are "White Nationalist" views. He has said much more condemnable things than I did so in order to believe that I'm a WN and he's not, you'd have to be either lying to yourself, or, once again, ludicrously misinformed on how words work.

So why do you try to backpedal when you regret saying something ignorant? It doesn't work unless you alter/hide your posts. We can see what you said and you said he's a racist, both explicitly and through rancorous implications.

As for evidence, your refusal to acknowledge it does not mean that I was unwilling to provide it. You closed your eyes and to you that seems to mean it stopped existing.

@Fabricant451 Kind of both to be frank. Though I sort of know what you're getting at...

They do have a correlation. Especially the journalist and the dozens of articles discussing them both in the exact same way. For the exact same profitable reasons. Though I'll admit they have differences. JonTron is not articulate and said some stupidly worded things in the process while Pewdiepie literally did nothing wrong...(though I guess if you want to debate that too, feel free.)

Just saying, I can guarantee there are more pressing matters at hand. And this only exists because the person is known...nobody, and I mean next to nobody is making a big deal of all the things Destiny said/or has said in the past. It's just another target...and once this one dies, another one will inevitably take it's place.

<.< I didn't want to talk about drama, again...do you find it interesting? I got sick of it a long damn time ago. How about we discuss literally anything else instead? For instance your avatar, where exactly is that from?

Find the quote where I said that CD Projekt Red hiring was white nationalism, I'll wait.

Backpedal on what? What am I going back on? All my view are here clear as day, how about arguing what Ive said rather than what you think that I want to say but for some reason I'm keeping secret.

Supposed Purple Haired Hippos working at Bioware isnt incontrovertible evidence, I honestly dont know how else I can say it.

Find the quote where I said that CD Projekt Red hiring was white nationalism, I'll wait.

Like every other idea which you have convinced yourself you never espoused, but which the people in your threads have been able to magically materialize from all your quotes?

<Snipped quote by Dynamo Frokane>

Soooo youre admitting I never said it but someone else in my thread did.....wow that seems to be a trend tonight.

EDIT: Sorry please present the quote, this all happened today so If I did say that about Projekt Red it should be around somewhere right?

So are you asserting I can control people who enter my thread magically? Shame I wasnt able to control you in my thread or this one, damn this glitchy magic.
