what the fuck the alt-right had to do with anything? what's is alt-right and who's alt-right according to you?
Narrative being pushed elsewhere,
not by me. I don't think I need to spell out where and by whom because its obvious.
To be honest, my main gripe was that the person getting ripped on had done nothing. They got a job somewhere, then somebody followed up saw their (ridiculous) identity thing and the thread was just taking the piss out of them.
I wouldn't have said a damn thing if they were trumpeting about their "deer" identity and how stunning and brave it is as a lifestyle choice, because then they'd have brought it upon themselves. However, to my knowledge, all they'd done was get a job as an artist. Which if you've been in the industry as long as I have will understand that its potentially an entry level position, one of many.
So, to me, it didn't seem warranted. It seemed tribal, the exact same behavior as you see on Resetera and the like if they get a sniff that some dev isn't a card-carrying member of the progressive brigade. "Its one of
them, get them!"
So, I make no apology for calling it out, because my belief is that how you act individually, and as a community is what matters. Not what your beliefs are. Behave dickishly and you're still a dick, no matter how high-falutin' your moral stance is and how self righteous you feel.
It was a petty, bitch-made little thread of a caliber I'd associate with the Reetards, so I politely called it out for what it was.
It wasn't even back-seat modding because I didn't call for any action, I just said that it made US, as a community, look as vindictive and small-minded as people on other forums and their allies in the progressive media were saying. I was completely surprised that anyone would take offence.
