We knew they lost their balls in the aftermath of dickwolves 11 years ago but now they are openly licking the boot that is stamping on their face.
It won't help of course, since they are white and male and straight, the beast they are futilely attempting to appease will eventually turn its rapacious jaws on them. One crack in the eggshells they are walking on and dickwolves will be prosecuted all over again. And with it anything else in their public profile that was previously considered off-color and is now a capital offense.
In a way it is our fault. Post-dickwolves we failed to mount a proper defense to the faux-outrage assault. At the time, they probably looked around and saw nothing but enemies everywhere they turned. In their mind surrender, bargaining, and pleading for mercy was probably rationalized as their best bad option. We didn't have the awareness of the magnitude of the problem that gamergate uncovered. And we didn't realize we could meaningfully push back, show support, and welcome them if they were willing to join us.
The PA guys are wrong and I won't support them, but they do have my sympathy. Tycho failed as a father and now has an it for a son. It's not too surprising they can't see straight when they've surrounded themselves (and their children) with demons.
They're material got me through some rough patches. I pray someone will do the same for them.
What happened with Tycho's kid?
The boy's autistic and wants to be a 'they.' Tycho obliged. Now Tycho only uses plural pronouns for other people. Tycho and Straub did a 1P TTRPG session at the last PAX that was borderline incomprehensible because everyone was 'they.'
If only Mr. Period were around to have a word with him.
Oh god. I haven't read them in months. Guess it is going to stay that way.
