“You’re just here to bitch?” says the guy bitching about my comments.

Thanks for taking us through that fascinating journey where you read the article and understood it. Clearly this is news that needed to be shared with the world. Where should be send your participation medal? Once again: you have added nothing to the conversation.

People like that don’t come here open to having their mind changed.

That was an old project by Chelsea Peretti and her brother Jonah (Buzzfeed), right?

That’s a free VPN, right? I’d say the axiom that might apply is: If you’re not paying, you’re the product being sold.

If you still want one, you can order the Slugcat plushes online now:

Yes, the media tricked PewDiePie into making anti-semitic jokes. They’re so sneaky!

You misspelled “leftist” while calling someone dumb.

Maybe add a link to the kickstarter since it’s not fully funded yet with 6 days left?
