I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?



Watch him be so close to the truth once this blows up in his face again. He did the right thing, happened to ask a person that doesn't care too much. And than he tweets something like this for some reason.

Boogie fuckin sucks is what it is

Okay, here's my relatively generous read on Boogie:

Boogie has a lot of his self-image tied up in the idea that he is A Nice Person, which he believes makes him an ally. He also firmly believes that The Truth Is In The Middle no matter what. But he doesn't tend to react to being attacked by fascists and right-wingers as badly as he does to being attacked from the left or by LGBT activists because he perceives himself as an ally, so that's directly challenging his self-image in a way that attacks from fascists (who he does not believe he agrees with) doesn't.

He is also entirely incapable of looking beyond the surface level of anything. To him, the appearance of niceness and politeness trumps all. He thinks you need to Live And Let Live and not rock the boat too much, so when someone tells him that they don't care what pronouns he uses, he sees that as the epitome of strength and the right way to be without really considering why that person might have told him that, or whether he needs to share that information in the first place.



If I'm going to be less generous, though, I'm going to say that Boogie gets a weird satisfaction from being "victimized" online for his "moderate views" and so he tweets poo poo like this as bait so he can play the victim some more and bask in the sympathy.

It's absolutely this, it's some sort of weird compulsion for him at this point or something because if he actually hated it, he'd loving stop doing it.

It's the absolute pinnacle of "one of the good ones" and, as innumerable trans people on Twitter have pointed out, whether or not his friend does or doesn't care the response is identical to the one trans people give when they're pretty sure you're going to have a goddamn meltdown if they so much as lightly impose themselves.

back to donoteat01's Skylines videos, the preview for KILLDOZER is one of the most effective ads I've ever seen.

"If your time is worth at least $15 an hour and it takes you more than four minutes to pirate the video you're getting ripped off and you should just give me the dollar."

Part of me feels this is the "if you make your followers argue among themselves in the comments, your engagement numbers go through the roof!" tactic. Post faux-centrist viewpoint on a topic to poke the beehive, let the comments pile up.

Not being smart.
Not having an agent to tell them “seriously shut up.”
Not letting an agent (who they don’t have) operate their twitter.

Yea sharing that story as some big 'wow her strength is amazing we should all be like her' is, at best, him being stupid and playing into the idea that the ~correct trans~ folks just kinda let cis people do whatever and never ask us to do that messy and hard work of 'being respectful to another human being even if it requires us to make a small amount of effort'.

He didn't factor in the time it would take to actually create a website account and deal with the inevitable security failure of said account.

Turns out, nerds aren't all that experienced with social mores, because they spend their time doing nerd poo poo instead of socializing.

"I HAVE TO DO THIS THING OR I WILL BE COMPLETELY hosed".

He does not "have to" weigh in on political poo poo that he knows nothing about, he could have stayed in his gaming lane.

It would be one thing if he only came out with his nuclear takes during the few precious times that games and politics interact in major ways, but he does it constantly. It is clearly a compulsion/fetish for him at this point.

Yeah but it involves socializing with other people who aren't good at socializing, and that's why we have the Geek Social Fallacies.

I mean, it's not that being a geek/nerd/goon makes you a lovely person, necessarily; I was just responding to the question of why nerds gently caress up their brands by deciding to shove a foot in their mouth about inappropriate subjects.

Ok.

DK64 is hyped up to be a lot more terrible than it actually is imo, though it still has quite a few points where it's just unforgivably bad (Beaver Bother, Crystal Caves), but I think it still carries a lot of the charm that the DKC series always had with humor to spare.
