Lmao, I don't think this is comparable to Civil Rights tho..

In cold blood? But it's built in the game, right? Is she just critiquing the fact that it's even an option if the user wanted to kill them, they could?

Yeah, I just don't agree with that comparison. An abusive relationship is not the same thing as pack mentality and group think. And what I was suggesting earlier was not victim blaming at all, (especially since I don't view these people as victims) so I think you were reading things into my argument that just weren't…

I just wanted to thank you for writing this. This comment feels so amazing to read, especially after reading the thread up above with so many people casually suggesting she had to make this up.

Holy crap, are arcades still a thing?

She's not on the same caliber as Hilary Clinton. Hilary Clinton is practically an A-list politician. They both shouldn't be expected to put up with death threats.

Well that's big of you to reflect back on the things you've said, so I commend you. I really like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I think she's bewildered, like anyone would be, at the vitrol she's been getting just for doing her Gaming videos.

What would she get out of faking threats? She's already been a target before. Why lie?

Why?

Right? But what you gunna do...

ding ding ding ding ding, we have a winner...

I do understand what you are coming from and know that people are always looking for a sense of "community", no matter how messed up the foundation of that community is. I would not compare an abusive relationship to that...ever, but in the spirit of OP's argument, a hate group is the best describer for what these…

Can someone explain to me why they disagree with her? She takes the clips directly from those games anyway so how is she misrepresenting them? It's not like she's making 3D models in Autodesk Maya and creating scenes that don't exist...

Lol right? Hooray for OC's concern trolling...

But you wouldn't have a pack mentality in the first place if those people didn't at least believe in what was being preached or have common ground. Nobody finds this stuff accidentally, they have to have a reason to go to 8chan and seek out. It's the level of interest and the direct meaning behind the actions of the…

I don't think it's as nuanced as you make it seem, but that's just my interpretation of things. Someone who was casually interested in riling people up just for the sake of riling people would not actively seek out counseling from trolls on 8chan for how to carry out an attack or even join discussions on IRC channels…

Nope. You just don't seem to be who you claim you are. Your defensive reply only seems to further prove my point.

But see, I think it's easy for those trolls to pretend that those beliefs aren't their real beliefs under the guise of starting drama, but people know, and they know, that that isn't the case and that deep down, they believe in the rhetoric they spout...

Wait, are you real?
