I saw KIA linked on the All Communities sidebar and from the most recent posts assumed it was dead, then I happened to notice a few KIA2 posts on communities.win and apparently this one is active.
Sorry if this has been discussed to death already. I just got here.
I don't think they were actually ones, but its an easier term to use to make my point. I think they were Leftists, who are close enough to the opposition Leftists in terms of actions and words (that we were privy too, an important distinction because you had Super Special Secret info we didn't) that calling them such as a derogative like some of us do isn't off the mark.
I'm aware. When KIA was young I called myself a MRA SJW to best describe my position. You know, like our Impossible friend. Its the nouns being used, and sometimes the steps between A to B that distinguishes Stormfags from SJWs.
We've been over this before a dozen times. Maybe half the criticism was unjustified, but it happened because she made a huge target of herself, made a huge spectacle when any was brought forth, and then the entire time cucked themselves to white knight for her. And regardless of that, it doesn't invalidate the completely legitimate criticisms of her tenure.
Yet everyone defended her by hyperfocusing on the first half, to dismiss the second half, and then doubledown to "stick it to the haters". Which is probably the most SJW/Leftist thing I could think of in how to handle criticism!!
I can agree. Like I don't see the Diablo 2 remake changes as censorship (so far), only a missed understanding of the original intent and a different style. But people are up in full arms about it.
I think the methodology is important. There is a difference between "regrettably we cannot allow you to say this, our hands are tied" and "we ain't letting you talk about this here, get fucked bai bai lululul." That's the difference between you/DoM and someone like Shad/Pink. Most of the time, you can be a little bit like them but we all human.
Its also an important difference in stuff like our "free speech alternatives." The "loli" problem keeps coming up because the methodology to deal with it from those Alternatives crosses that line from "its illegal enough that we don't want the risk, sorry hands tied" and "YOU FUCKING COOMERS AINT WELCOME PEDOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
As in, I think our side is a little jumpy and paranoid about that stuff because we have been hit with it too many times, and that's regrettable itself. But the way its done is what paints it in a different picture for most reasonable people.
