I'm going to watch Ian's apology soon. I think people have every right to be skeptical of yet another turn in his story, but I hope GG doesn't throw him to the wolves. You guys should welcome him with open arms while keeping an eye on skepticism. Anti-GG is eventually going to shred itself apart and further marginalize current allies. That's what radical movements do. Also keep in mind that there are plenty of people like him in Anti-GG, people who might genuinely believe in their social issues, but are simply part of AGGros because they view you guys as a hate movement. That narrative will eventually run out of steam with those able to think independently. Scolding IMC might lead some of them teetering on leaving AGG to keep pressing forward.
That explains why he is so angry and obnoxiously loud.
I actually thought his rebuttal of Anita's "positive women in gaming" video was on point, even if he did act like a complete retard at times. The points he made were valid and topical. Compare that to Thunderf00t's latest video posted above, which seems petty.
I remember after posting The Amazing Atheist's rebuttal to Anita video, you and someone else wrote that you find him annoying. I had never really watched any of his videos until the one I posted.
I got into GG because of Internetaristocrat. Well, he has a new channel, and one of his latest topics was about Nick Bate.
I had never heard of the guy, so I went to ED to see if they had a page for him. And they did. Dude is a pedo, for sure. But at some point while reading the page, I remember seeing something like Nick Bates is a part of the pedophile series, and included in the potential pedophile category was The Amazing Atheist. I was like... wtf? I had to check it out.
So I read his page, and... damn. It had a bunch of stuff about TAA I never knew. How he said he'd never worked a day in his life (and pushed out an atheist narrative to rely on donations to keep his scheme going, which to me sounds like a televangelist), how he made these bizarre videos including one where he rubbed hot chocolate on his ass and shoved a banana up his asshole (also had screencaps for evidence), and one of him pouring hot oil on his tiny **** and dipping his balls into the pan. I admit it, curiosity got the better of me and I had to see if that was true. And it was true. And it was way funnier than I expected. I don't know why. Part of the reason is because Chyna has a bigger clit than TAA's dick.
Anyway, his page also showed that TAA believed in thin privilege. That sounds pretty hypocritical to me, considering his public stance of hating everything SJW. After reading the page, I came away convinced he's just the opposite side of Anita and McIntosh - sure, he might believe some of what he says, but he has his own niche group of followers so he's not going to publicly deviate too much from where his bread is buttered. He's pigeonholed himself into a particular category, and he's basically preaching to the masses who want to believe him. He has every financial incentive to do so. So it's somewhat about what he truly feels, but the bottom line is how much money and fame he gets off of expressing particular viewpoints.
