Comment on Waypoint Writers Quit Over Removal Of Articles Related To New Steam Policy [Update] - Aftermath

bread@feddit.nl ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

I’ll post my content from another thread on the same subject: I have very little respect for Valens’ writing after seeing articles spreading lies and essentially striking out at a vtuber company for being rejected by them. Vice is crap, but Valens is no better.

Not a great idea to call someone out for spreading lies but not support the claim with evidence. Also, what are your honest thoughts on Gamergate?

  I’m not going to dispute point-for-point; I exclusively post from my phone and it would be too much work. An example would be taking a clip out of context, i.e. a vtuber talking about someone else’s talking points, and portraying them as though they are the vtuber’s opinions.
  
  Gamergate? I don’t really care.

    You could still name names and link the article(s), then offer a verifiable summary as to why you believe the coverage is inaccurate. You’re not disputing that Kirsche is transphobic and that there is a genuine-looking clip of them being racist though, are you?

    I’ll reply to the two last bits:
    
    Notice how it’s specifically about activists, not all trans people. As far as I’m aware she has not expressed hate for trans people.
    
    I think she was discussing Kier Starmer’s statement on the matter. There are two sides to “The Great Replacement Theory.” One is factual, and supported by people such as Starmer, and one is an antisemitic theory. She was talking about the former. That’s not racism.
