Topic: Talk Trump, not games

[Abnormal Freak]

because that's all K. Kalata is doing, so let's follow his example. Nothing more intellectually stimulating than Trump=HITLAR

If you have a gaming site or any kind of social media presence, it doesn't make sense to use that as a sounding board for your opinions on things other than the designated topic. This shit has been cluttering up my Twitter feed—retweet after retweet of things barely having to do with games.

I go on Twitter primarily for game news, and also to get away from the stupid bullshit surrounding me every day. All Kurt is wont to do is be a snide dickhead in response.

You're lucky you don't follow me there, I tweet mostly pro wrestling, with a little classic video game flavor thrown in for good measure. I also tend to rant about pro wrestling there, but I'm chill on games.

Edit: Found your Twitter.

I do add friends, I just pop in mostly for le gamez, and I was pretty damn salty today to find my feed flooded with political posts, BY A GAMING WEBSITE.

If you added me, I'll add you back.

I have a very strict policy on what I allow on my Twitter feed as pertains to politics. If I see somebody's content veer in the direction of "angry pundit" or "politician's cheerleader", I start a week-long timer, and if it's not a temporary thing that goes away by the end of a week, I unfollow them.

I try to keep my Twitter posts as varied as I can, and I mostly do that via my Tumblr.

Done and done.

I do need to do more retro game tweets, I follow a couple folks, and some follow me about the hobby of collecting.

I'm Gunlord500 on Twitter, but be warned, I'm mostly political reblogs on there ;o

[Abnormal Freak]

I give all of two shits for people posting whatever the heck they want on their personal pages (follow me @Swankly to read me describe my next dump); I just dislike someone using their "company" page to talk to their followers about something other than the intended subject. That just pisses me off because I follow @HG_101 for game info and links to new articles, not half-baked political junk. If one more dumbass equates a Trump presidency to Master-D & the Badds, I'm gonna flip my funk king lid and be done with the Internet for a while.

It's hard, really, to resist the urge, when you have a large fanbase, to use your popularity for political purposes.

Politics ARE important; people who refuse to acknowledge that don't realize how much an influence the big brotha has over your life; in addition, it's also about the right and maybe responsibility that you have to share what you think with a large audience.

Of course, there are those who shout out (especially right-wingers) that celebs who don't understand a darn thing about politics need to STFU and just stick to their area of expertise; to me, If you have the power to influence, you should do it. But give your audience a favor: don't bitch. Political commentary, like any commentary, needs to be constructive. If you post "this movie sucks; don't watch it", why should people trust you? You haven't explained yourself. The same is true of politics. Is your commentary contributing anything, or is it just bitching? Run this test before posting.

With this HG101 stuff, it's "TRUMP IS HITLER AND IF YOU DON'T AGREE YOU'RE JUST LIKE THE NEUTRAL GERMANS WHO TURNED A BLIND EYE WHEN JEWS WERE BEING MASSACRED." It's the most goddamned ridiculous, dimwitted bullshit I've seen and Kurt is really fucking sincere about it. I get enough of that shit elsewhere in the world, every day; I don't need that stupidity when all I wanna do is read/think about some games.

He's intentionally shitting all over a potentially large number of his audience, not just discussing politics. He's going about it all ham-fisted and sardonically, which never worked to enlighten anybody.

I mean, for fuck's sake, he used the term "fuckbois" to describe the dissenting voices. I won't be buying any more of the dude's books, that's for sure. You don't talk to your audience that way.

Jason Isaacs is a textbook example of a left-wing leaning celebrity who just spews unverifiable shit hoping some of it will stick. I started following him on Twitter because he's usually a nice guy, but God help you if you're a moderate or right wing person around him. He turns very suddenly from the nicest guy you'll know straight into Lucius Malfoy. His utter lack of manners towards people who disagree led me to stop following him and I no longer value anything he has to say.

I believe in civil debate, not shitslinging.

'Trump' is another word for 'Fart' in England.

I'm a fairly left leaning person, and I hate it when liberals invoke Godwin's law from the get-go.

George W.; Obama; and during this last election, Trump, Sanders, and Clinton; were all called Hitler. They can't all be Hitler. That shit needs to stop happening. Nothing makes me roll my eyes more.

[Abnormal Freak]

Like, was Bush Hitler (and a lot of people said he was), but Trump is even more Hitler, thus a Mega Hitler? Like, more Hitler than Hitler? I don't get it.
