Of course Angel is real, what's with the David Boreanez erasure? I guess he's probably more famous for Bones now but he played both characters for about the same amount of time.

So to unravel this Gordian Knot:

-Elon Musk signal boosts anti trafficking advocate Eliza Bleu for helping serve this narrative that Twitter has successfully cracked down on child porn. She makes him look like he's doing something about it, and he makes her look like she's a legit advocate against human trafficking.

-For about ten seconds conservatives prop up Eliza as someone "actually doing something about the problem" unlike the pedo apologist leftists who did nothing the entire time before Musk bought Twitter.

-This draws a lot of attention towards Eliza which makes people start to question her background. Initially it's just leftists pointing it out and getting ignored. Then the Quartering and BrittanyVenti get banned/blocked for digging up some music video Eliza was in because she got mad people were drawing attention to it.

-Chuds suddenly flip on Eliza, because she instantly went from Eliza the ":smug: gotcha, liberals!" to Eliza the ":byodood: Cancel Queen!"

-At this point in the cycle they are all bickering about who knew she was a fraud all along, who is milking this for all its worth, and who is virtue signaling about hating/defending her the most. It's an absolute Matryoshka doll set of grifters all the way down.

"The Man Who Cannot Deadlift"

The thing I hate the most about being terminally online is that you can see something coming from a mile away and it doesn't matter, no one really cares or will be convinced, and you just have to watch the farce play out while no one learns anything

Or maybe I'm doing this wrong and should be capitalizing on it to make bank from other idiots online

In this particular case, people were too fixated on defending Elon Musk and triggering the libs to really question her background. It's like how TERFs will uncritically rally around some detransitioner without putting any effort to get to know them as a person.

Something I observed early on in this whole saga was that it is very ideologically "safe" to be an Anti Pedophile. After all, it is very easy to label your detractors as being Pro Pedophile, since why would anyone have a problem with opposing pedophilia? Eliza Bleu worked a similar hustle, and it intersected with a lot of other stuff that was going on at the time (conflating queer people with groomers). This helped to shut down a lot of criticism people had initially. By defending Eliza initially, it made them feel like they were part of the solution too-"Pedophilia is bad, and Eliza and Elon worked to get pedophilia off Twitter which is good, and I stand up for them, so that makes me good! And anyone that thinks otherwise is a pedophile and their opinions are invalid."

What's especially pathetic is that even the smoking gun isn't that big of a whopper. Her timeline of events doesn't match up, she's a clout chaser. Big wow, the people that knew her when she was a My Chemical Romance groupie knew that all along too. And she considers herself an AnCap so it was only a matter of time before she got milkshake ducked over saying something stupid like what happened to Milo Yiannopolis.

There's also things like sonar guided torpedoes which it doesn't really matter if they're noisy, once they're close enough to activate their pursuit mode and start seeking targets by themselves it's probably too late for you to do very much about it.

Good post, thanks! Fascinating stuff most of which I knew already but I didn't know torpedoes had active sonar. Is that why in submarine movies when there's one in pursuit you can hear a cacophony of pings?

As a sOuNd GuY :smug: I find everything about sonar really interesting, and would love to learn more.

The outrage machine is forever turning and revisiting stuff from months ago is no problem because the people who swallow it will have forgotten this after frothing hard over the 42 other "scandals" between repeats.

A fun observation I’ve had about anti-diversity nerd outrage is is that any representational media from before they first decided to be CHUDs is protected. That’s why they hate Rey and female Ghosbtusters but not Ellen Ripley and Samus Aran or any number of style nods to diversity in all their favorite media from the 80s and 90s. And we see it again how they were okay with pansexual Sims for years until this new update.

The newest episode of The Last of Us featured some gay men who were in the game. The game came out in 2013, which I believe was before Gamergate, so they weren’t mad at them then. But now that the show is out, a lot of idiots are mad about gay characters “suddenly” being there.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Pretty much, and it's absolutely pointless to try to point that out to them along with any other examples of conservative hypocrisy, but excellent to illustrate their complaints are purely reactionary and being mad because they're told to be mad. Still important not to mix that up with legitimate criticism, of course.

Personally I'm expecting some hilarious unexpected results of Sims having orientations now.

Reactionaries are fuming because they made an episode about Bill and humanized him and his lover instead of just making it funny he likes dicks and butts
They commited both the sins of straying from just making a shot for shot remake of the game's cinematics and setpieces and portrayed an icky person as having a full emotional and mental life.
