Means someone cited gamergate where it makes no sense at all.

[+] ech@lemm.ee -7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Lol. The admonishment for "misusing" gamergate by citing horseshoe theory as if it's in any way applicable is hilariously on point. Good luck with that "enlightened" centrism.

[–] Viri4thus@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What centrism? Calling out the bourgeoisie invented themes to distract from the class struggles is the duty of every reasonable person, more so if they are on the left. Human rights are not debatable, you vote for the representative that abides human rights. If none is available, you start a revolution. What you don't do is use a neoliberal dear to proselytise as if you're not part of the problem by perpetuating the system that abuses the people you're soapboxing about. (you, as in, Bioware, not you, this is not meant as a personal attack, I came to lemmy to talk to reasonable people)

May I interpret this as a personal attack anyway, please? I'd like something to get angry about for no reason.

[–] Viri4thus@feddit.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

You may :)

It's ok to be wrong. It's how we grow. Being right all the time is boring and delusional.

[–] ech@lemm.ee -3 points 2 weeks ago

Arguing a single point ≠ claiming to be "right all the time". What's your next condescending bit of "advice" that's totally not a poorly disguised character attack?
