@theTDC the dev of this game seems like a total fucking nutcase, why can't people just be normal? it doesn't make you look any better than the adversary when you're this crazy.

@CenturianFrend @theTDC >why are you defending trannies

ah yes, being opposed to something immediately means you are defending the other thing. i don't like the fact that incredibly vulnerable people are being groomed into being trans because it fucks people up but screeching about it this hard only makes you look like a lunatic to the average person, just on the other side of the coin. once it gets to harassing individuals i'm just not a fan, especially because it just draws more attention to it and will inevitably backfire. kiwifarms' actions have made keffals not only rich but more powerful in his respective community. he'll now have more sway over other vulnerable people.

if people really want to make a change, it's better to set a good example and provide a better space for others. someone, especially a vulnerable person like a child or an autist, forming their political/societal opinions and persona isn't going to jump toward the group that is ripping people to shreds and acting unhinged. they'll go with the ones who are preaching about love or whatever, even if it's false, it seems true on the surface. some people will eventually come to a moment of self-realization and get the fuck out of there, but a lot get brainwashed. the key is to get to people before that has a chance of happening, not brutally attack the ones who it has already happened to, because that only strengthens their resolve and makes them believe they are just for their actions, and it brings more people to sympathize with them.

this kind of shit is essentially tossing fuel on the fire. it's really just not worth it.

@CenturianFrend @theTDC oh sorry i didn't read the hat, my bad.

tl;dr doing shit like this gives the people you hate more power and more sway to do more things you hate. it's not useful.

@MK2boogaloo @CenturianFrend @theTDC easier said than done. instead of putting your game on steam though you could always self-host.

in turn, the opposite of what i said is true too. people get mad at this guy for pulling this stunt and even though his game is off steam now, you can bet your ass people actually know about his game and would be willing to pay him for it on a different platform.

they're giving power to the guy by banning him and he's giving power to them by being a person they can point at and say "look, that's how these kind of people are, they're wrong and we're right and we don't attack people who are just trying to live their lives." it's all stupid culture war bullshit.

@beardalaxy @CenturianFrend @theTDC so you said that we need the moral high ground to win the culture wars? I can agree with that, we must do things as polite as we can so the NPC's will at least stay away, while also fighting the battle with unrelenting will.

@MK2boogaloo @CenturianFrend @theTDC what it all boils down to is "by their deeds you shall know them." not just in what you say, but in what you do. you can have the moral high ground, but if you just sit there and act like you're better than everyone else or even stomp your boot down on people you feel you are morally superior to, nobody will think you actually are a moral person or a good example to follow, no matter how virtuous your ideas are.

it isn't enough to just be morally correct, you have to be actively showing people that you are someone they can look up to. you actually have to treat people as if they were children, if you were a father you wouldn't harass your child if you wanted them to look up to you and be able to confide in you. they are children, of course they do not have the experience you do, of course they don't really understand, but trying to clamp down on them instead of having mutual respect will push them in the opposite direction every time.
