really interesting to me that these internet new-old-right types have resurrected the english civil war as the key political hinge still operating in the present: themselves as the royalists/cavaliers (carefree, traditional, honorable, and doomed) and their enemy, the whole international liberal order, as puritan/roundhead (grim, fanatical, genocidal, both heretical and obsessed with heresy). they don't really mean it metaphorically either.
xp lol perfect punchline

the venn diagram has overlaps with so many other annoying internet scenes (some way more than others of course): paleo, crossfit, bitcoin, "manliness," "makers." i never figured video games would be one of them.

Publisher’s Statement Regarding Mike Cernovich’s Twitter ConductOCTOBER 20, 2014 BY DANGER & PLAY 41 COMMENTS
Mike Cernovich of Danger & Play Publishing has posted many things on Twitter. Some of his Tweets are out of line. Some make sense in context. Whatever the case, Mike Cernovich owns his past and accepts personal responsibility for his Tweets.
Mr. Cernovich is not going to explain all of his Tweets. If you think something he wrote was wrong, you have that right. Unlike the SJWs, Mr. Cernovich does not believe in thoughtcrime. You have the right to hate him or love him or even ignore him.
Mr. Cernovich behaved no differently from Gawker and the Social Justice Warriors attacking him. We expect higher standards from Mr. Cernovich.

chance he wrote that himself expressed as a percentage 100%

Baldwin was born in Winnetka, Illinois and studied at New Trier Township High School East in Winnetka.[4] He has three children with his wife, Ami.[5] He has no relation to the Baldwin brothers.
Politically, he has been a registered Democrat since 1980,[6] but states that he re-examined his views after being given a copy of David Horowitz's book Radical Son.[7] He now considers himself a "small government conservative libertarian",[8] and has contributed to The Huffington Post[9] and Big Hollywood.[10]

Twitter death threats have consequences! http://www.polygon.com/2014/10/20/7024585/gabe-newell-death-threat-paranautical-activity-steam-valve (Not actually GG related)

"This being a project I spent years of my life on, I was very frustrated by this mistake [Valve] made, so I tweeted a series of tweets calling them incompetent that eventually ended in me saying 'I swear I'm gonna fucking kill gabe' or something," Maulbeck said in an email to Polygon. "A statement I obviously didn't mean, but nonetheless was totally unacceptable and driven entirely by the heat of frustration I was feeling at the time."
Maulbeck let loose a series of vitriolic tweets, calling Valve "incompetent" and expressing anger at Steam's "awful fucking monopoly." Maulbeck then allegedly said in a since-deleted tweet, "I am going to kill gabe newell [sic]. He is going to die."

Speaking of white supremacists/Lost Causes, the Calavier/Roundhead charge got tossed around a bunch during the American Civil War by Confederate politicos, who tried to connect their war as the continuation as the fight against Norman invaders.
― Delbert Gravy (kingfish), Tuesday, 21 October 2014 02:20 (nine years ago) link
Paranautical Activity is available through other digital distribution means, like Desura and the Humble Store, but Maulbeck lamented that the game sold 12 copies on non-Steam platforms today.

their absolute inability to read Sam Biddle's bullying comments as anything other than bullying - either they lack any sense of normal human interaction, or they're taking this as a threat in very very bad faith
― Terrific ribbon, Moe (stevie), Tuesday, 21 October 2014 12:59 (nine years ago) link
I think in the big picture joking about bullying on twitter, especially to these rubes who have no sense of context or irony, was a bad move, in retrospect
but holy shit are these people happy to take anything that they can conform to their narrative and hammer on it
― ⌘-B (mh), Tuesday, 21 October 2014 13:17 (nine years ago) link
xp
it was an unfortunate tweet tho' - obvious joke that hit a nerve (ie past or present experience) with a chunk of the sincere useful-idiot crowd & the cynics are exploiting it – they seem to be obsessively reframing a lot of this as bullying by SJWs now.

Can I tell Mercedes that I will never buy their cars if they withdraw advertising from Gawker? Does the bullying work in that direction too?

Dear Mercedes, I have been a big fan of your cars for many years and have bought seven to twelve of them for my video games, however I never will gain, this is your last warning

The website of a Danish newspaper published an article on GamerGate, and goddammit, there's a guy spouting all the usual gamer bullshit. "#NotYourShield" The threats against Sarkeesian used SJW language, etc. I really hoped we didn't have guys like that.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 21 October 2014 14:14 (nine years ago) link
In the comments. He is talking shit in the comments on the article.
total tl;dr preaching-to-choir post here but
their absolute inability to read Sam Biddle's bullying comments as anything other than bullying plus their inability to see their new meathead idol's glee for punching people (embarrassing/blackmailing people into being punched by him, no less), and putting people down AS bullying; the total free pass of GamerGate is well aware Nero hated us. Know what we like about him tho'? He actually did journalism. (reply to the Binder tweet D-40 linked to) while gnashing teeth over every perceived insult from any woman, games journalist, developer, all of whom are clearly SJW and not real gamer enough...
(srsly who wakes up one morning and goes "you know, I am not into games and totally don't even play them but I'm going to start thinking about them in a lot of depth, possibly even for a living" -- apparently everyone who ever thought the second half of that sentence, according to GamerGate)
...I have spent altogether too long reading my way round this rabbithole over the past week month (ugh) and I should probably stop. Mostly because it's a poor use of time which could be more constructively spent doing pretty much anything, including playing video games; but also because minds like that will not be changed, and finally I don't need to feed any pity or empathy for the imagined "moderates" or "useful idiots" any more, because if you can't see any problem with those mental contortions I. Don't. Even. etc
