The most pathetic thing I've seen is probably the hypocritical posts about how one group of people (Scott and other conservatives) are free to donate money to politicians, express conservative views, and even enact deplorable policies that, for example, hurt LGBT people, but another group of people can't express their views and decide how they want to spend their own money.
When a person gives money to someone as deplorable as the former president (see my previous posts in this thread for the deplorable actions and even atrocities committed by the former president), it should rightfully be criticized, and damn right people shouldn't feel compelled to give that guy money if they disagree with him and don't want their money used in that way.
You wonder why so many people think those who are mindlessly critical of "cancel culture" are out of touch.
LGBT people lost basic job protections, as well as many other rights, as a result of the former administration being in power. You seem to forget, for example, that trans people were literally kicked out of the military by the former president, for example.
Violence against LGBT people abroad occurred in part because the former administration explicitly refused to condemn it, and violence against LGBT people in this country occurred in large part because the former administration refused to talk about it or do anything about it.
This is made-up nonsense. I'm unaware of any serious Democratic politician or any significant number of Democratic voters (let alone half) who ever advocated for Republicans "having their jobs taken away" or "being killed." It's not a good sign when your response to my post is stuff that only exists in your imagination. In fact, I've never once heard these things from anybody.
In your imagination, maybe. Those things you listed above that are in your head are really awful.
No you're not, but here you are, so maybe you should not whine about doing so.
I agree with you that there are people responding in this thread who are acting like babies, but I don't think they're the people you're thinking of. The people who are whining and acting like babies are the people hypocritically criticizing those who condemn Scott's actions (freedom of speech) and choose not to spend their money in ways they morally disagree with, but give Scott a pass.
There are figurative babies in this thread who act like the "cancellation" of Scott is anything other than people expressing their opinions about Scott's actions, which were morally reprehensible, and making their own decision about what ultimately happens to their money after they spend it. Some people have some growing up to do.
I've never once said or suggested that I'm all-knowing or infallible. In fact, I've expressed on numerous occasions that I am quite fallible. Just because I think I'm right doesn't mean I think I'm always right. You might be interested to know that just about everybody thinks that what they post is correct. That's how things work.
"Your points are BS."
"You're pompous."
"It's useless trying to debate with liberals, and you'd be better off talking to a brick wall."
Tell me again where the substantive points in your post were. It looked like a lot of huff and fluff to me. People who genuinely have substantive responses don't say things like that instead; they just provide the substantive response.
I don't think I've even thought of FNAF since around 2014 or 2015. I played the first one (I didn't buy it), and while it seemed a little cheap and basic as many indie games are, I didn't think it was bad, and I had students who talked about it around that time. If I had known about Scott's political donations back then, I probably would have shrugged and just not played it at all. The only reason I'm responding in this thread is because there are a lot of people criticizing the condemnations of Scott without realizing the hypocrisy of doing so. Doxxing and harassment are wrong, and I don't think anyone in this thread would disagree with that, but the criticisms of Scott are fair, whether or not one agrees with them.
