I was part of it in the sense that I thought what they were saying was true but never participated in anything because I was a child and not on social media at all.

I was 13ish when my dad started talking about politics with me and I listened to him because he was the "cool parent". When GG started he would share videos with me and the alt right pipeline took hold from there. I was in deep enough I watched sargon religiously for reference.

I realized that I was trans for the first time around here. The self hatred lead me into isolating myself further and pushing that deep down to the point I only remembered that after I rediscovered a journal my parents tried to have me use for stress. I was homeschooled and basically completely isolated so it got worse from there. I would have called myself an MRA for a while. I lurked in a lot of the places they gathered and absorbed basically everything as fact. I only really started working to "deprogram" myself after I realized I was trans again and started watching Blair white. The YouTube algorithm did probably the only good thing that it had done that whole time and recommended Contrna Points. From there I started actually looking into the things that were being said and not just taking what they were saying as fact and they were almost entirely bullshit. from there I started looking at different political ideologies and was figuring out who I was. I have to actively work against a lot of the thinking that was so deeply ingrained in me. I know there's really no excuse for it but I do try to be a better person than I was at that point.

As someone that was ruined by GG for a while I don't think a lot of people realize how influential it is.

What a bunch of fucking cowards. They know that they don't have any power anymore so they are doing everything that they can to delay the general public from realizing that.

Sarcasm really does not translate when there are people literally saying and meaning that loosing money is not a problem.

I get the feeling that Nintendo hasn't realized how much they shit the bed yet. I have multiple people that bought the switch day one and sat in line to get one that just have lost interest in it simply based of the sheer greed they are expressing.

Based on the screen shot it seems like something happened that the mod is mad about americans for. Which could either be fair or something really stupid.

I don't know why i didn't think of that. Was kinda trying to figure out why not use them when they aren't that much more expensive considering how expensive the new joycons will probably be.
