I knew something was up when the original thread about the firing on kai1 was almost immediately infested by an SJW.
Who was claiming to not be.
And claiming that he totally deserved it.
And that all conservatives are racist, sexist, insurrectionist.
And that its literally impossible to be a good person and a conservative.
And that anyone claiming to be a Battletech fan and a conservative is a liar, because conservatives dont enjoy things or have hobbies other than religion (this is not a joke, he actually said that).
And utterly refused to listen to any evidence that he was wrong.
But he is not an SJW and anyone calling him one is a snowflake.
I am just hoping that CGL looks at this whole thing going down, looks at the poll from one of their largest fan accounts showing that the supermajority of fans think this was a bad idea, and say "We made a mistake" and walk it back. But I dont see that happening unless something forces their hand.
Nah, it was very clearly obvious that he was not acting in good faith. So while I thought about it, I eventually just stopped with a "why bother?" Last I saw, he was claiming that he had gotten SWATed by "angry conservatives in this thread" in response to someone actually asking him for proof of the bad things Blaine had supposedly said. To which my reaction (to myself) was along the lines of "Are you actually taking the piss?"
Yea I have learned to avoid Reddit arguments. It’s an endless rabbit hole. During blm riots I got into debates simply for asking why a baseball card subreddit needs to “address” this
Same. I have basically made Reddit into a way to keep up on anime and games I like, and sometimes have low-yield discussions. But if something I am planning on saying is too far outside the hivemind, then I just keep my mouth shut unless I am on KIA1 or KIA2.
Good idea. I’m just very surprised how people are so eager to inject policy stuff into regular hobbies. The main one that I still go on regularly is the Skyrim subreddit.
I lucked out in that my circle of friends still treats it like its 1999, and even though we dont agree on everything we are still friends. But that is because my more liberal-inclined friends are anti-SJW still and hate that.
As for the people who do inject it, I really do believe that it is them being miserable and just trying to make everyone else as miserable as they are. But they are so abrasive personality wise they wont make friends, and it just feeds the cycle.
There was a thing I figured out recently going through on the Farms, so buckle in for a little story to back up what I mean for the above. I watch VTubers. Not donating or anything, just like the streams when I am gaming. And the Farms being the Farms, they can find out the true identities of some of these people, and for this particular VTuber who worked for one of the companies, they discovered that she had been a Tankie SJW type, and there had been some worries about what she would do or try to subvert. But now a year or so on, she is hasnt really brought up politics, has largely stayed quite, and she seems to be happy.
The thing that made me realize the thing making these people miserable was a lack of true friendship, was that this VTuber, in one of her QA streams, broke character a little bit like they are allowed to do for those streams. And she talked about how before she joined the company she was depressed, alcoholic, and didnt really have anyone she cared about or visa versa. But after joining, she made friends with some of the other people, her depression went away, and while she still drinks she does it a lot less. While it was obvious not brought up, I have to imagine that she probably moderated somewhat politically as well because of it.
But like I said, a lot of these people (especially on Reddit) are so toxic, they cant make friends, so they just end up stuck in the rut.
Renegade Hpg ran a Twitter pole asking their followers how they felt about the firing. Overwhelmingly against the decision. Until thousands of votes came in a minute for approval.
Enough so they tried conducting the pole again just to have a repeat.
Renegade hpg has about 2000 followers. The pole had over 4000 votes. Prior to the dump it was about 800.
The irony that they hate Blaine for talking about the election being stolen with midnight ballot dumps…. So on a fan opinion pole the do a midnight bot ballot dump.
The other one that I find very telling is that the usual suspects are saying that HPG only got rid of the polls because and did them again because "they didnt go the way you wanted", and saying that him claiming bots is just "coping" for being proven wrong.
The hatefulness of SJWs never ceases to amaze me. On top of their ability to lie as easily as they breath.
A quote that seems relevant, but I forgot who said it. "That which is not explicitly anti-communist, will eventually be subverted by communism". I mention this because they've clearly proven a politically neutral stance won't work. They will infiltrate eventually if you don't gate keep the hell out of them. I also can't help thinking the best way to gate keep them, is to be explicitly anti-them. Mock, belittle or otherwise parody their idiotic beliefs might just be the best way to keep them away.
Look, I don't want Battletech to be a "Right-wing hobby" any more than I want it to be a left wing hobby. We wan't it to be exactly what it's always been: an apolitical place to enjoy games and goddamn stories about giant stompy robots with people of all races, genders and politcial persuasions, provided you ain't calling for anyone's fucking job, you jagoff.
When I said "#Battletech belongs to EVERYONE", that meant the only person not welcome in the battletech community, was the one who plays arbiter of the community, and begins kicking out anyone they hallucinate to be a Nazi from the community.
And there it is, Razor is just 5 years from going full Diversity, Inclusion and Equity.
Gatekeep or be gatekept. Don't keep playing with PoX, Pinkos, or Purple haired whales. They are not welcome. If you don't make your hobby into a rght wing echo chamber, then it will become a left wing echo chamber because lefties scream louder. They will drown out your voice. Best to keep them out from the very beginning.
Don't forget, #BATTLETECH BELONGS TO EVERYONE, including that furry communist that never showers at your local store.
More deets, unashamedly ripped from a thread on kia1:
Fanatics, who own Catalyst Game Labs, demanded they fire Blaine Lee Pardoe due to one activist and his followers harassing them in an attempt to get him fired.
Razor also mentioned that these people botted 2 polls Renegade HPG set up asking people what did they think of this situation (Renegade himself said they were botted if you don’t trust Razor) and that these same people went after Tex, one of the nicest guys within the Battletech community, for openly talking to Arch at all.
Razor isn’t calling for a boycott but instead emailing Fanatics, which he left in the video description, and tell them that you won’t buy anything from them if they let company policy be determined by activists on Twitter and Cancel culture.
and that these same people went after Tex, one of the nicest guys within the Battletech community, for openly talking to Arch at all.
If one good thing came out of the shitshow with Tex, its that at least he seems to have realized he got played. Because he never really walked back talking with Arch and still says he enjoyed the conversation. And now if he has anyone coming to him trying to make him dance to the SJW tune, his response has always been "Piss off, fucko."
They probably do. But figured no one would waste their time getting bots to skew their tiny Twitter poll. It would be like pissing hot for steroids in a kickball beer league.
I think "publisher" is the key word in the article. Who the fuck is that? Sounds like a dope who had already made up his mind based on some outside interference. And probably he's sympathetic to the insane trannies. So fire that fuckin' guy.
I wish they would leave my interests alone. I liked catalyst because they appeared to let their creators create and say what they felt in their own platforms. Prior until now that’s really all anyone wanted. Well they saved me the difficult decision on the cap for the next battletech Kickstarter…$0.00. A significant downturn from my several $100s. Actually had friends interested in getting into it, showed them this and now they are out. Way to shit the bed catalyst. Blaine’s books were always about the stompy robots and fictional politics of the world. I hope they enjoy all the money Js sock puppet accounts are going to bring them.
I've actually been looking for a battletech book from the 90's. The villain is a patient man who even waits to drink something he enjoys, just to prove he has the self control. I can't say it's perfect, but I loved that villain and have based ideas on how people plan on his thought process.

Did you respond to him? Sounds like he is reading from an msnbc script

"It's not politics! It's HUMAN RIGHTS!"
They say it. Why shouldn't we?
I got so sick of that line! Lol
Make THEM sick of it.
Drive your points harder, and say THAT when they complain.
Meme them until they cry, then make memes about them crying. Crybabies.

Robert Conquest's Three Laws of Politics:
Everyone is conservative about what he knows best.
Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing.
The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies.

Razorfist interviewing Blaine Lee Pardoe about this and other things later today. More details forthcoming.
Do they not know how the internet works?
They probably do. But figured no one would waste their time getting bots to skew their tiny Twitter poll. It would be like pissing hot for steroids in a kickball beer league.

I've actually been looking for a battletech book from the 90's. The villain is a patient man who even waits to drink something he enjoys, just to prove he has the self control. I can't say it's perfect, but I loved that villain and have based ideas on how people plan on his thought process.
Can't find the book, or a good description of it.
That's how saddened I am about this news.
