You are upset for no reason, and are being abusive as a result of your anger. Please calm down and try to be a little more constructive. I did not post those links, I simply pointed out that the source of a fact does not matter. You did not say "those facts are wrong because evidence", you said "those facts are wrong because I don't like who is saying them". That is the very definition of ad-hominem. I did not claim…

When you post facts, and not innuendos posing as facts, this self-righteous spiel might have some value. But my experience with goobergate has demonstrated to my satisfaction that Colbert's truthiness is in full effect up in hurr.

>shitposting is fine if I don't like you

Yeah, that really isn't how it works. I know it is hard to admit when you are emotionally invested in a mistake, but I believe you are better than that.

Your code switching needs work. But we knew you were a sock already.

Generally speaking, the guy linking to frigging Breitbart is a good lock to be the guy spreading propaganda. Y'all have been played most effectively by guys like Nero--guys who sneered at you until they realized they could make a name off you. Y'all froth at Sarkeesian all day long for "not being a gamer"...and yet this is the guy you put up as having Useful Things To Say? Get real.

Generally speaking you should actually read the damn article linked before commenting it.The guy who wrote the article worked at the Guardian.He is not a right wing nut.

Nero is one of the more loathsome right-wing extremists you will run across outside the straight-up Stormfronts of the world; he dresses it up a bit better but if you dig a bit you'll figure it out. He's happy to be known as wearing Iron Crosses (seriously, holy shit) and is the token "gay against marriage equality" trotted out by Breitbart when they need him. He's spoken positively of the BNP in the past, too.

(Oh, and he stiffed numerous contributors when he ran The Kernel, but that's just him being a turd, not a right-wing turd.)
