People have the misconception that white privilege is about what you get for being white but it's more about what you don't have to deal with.

TL;DR he didn't believe white privilege was a real thing.



What is white privilege. Is it that being white affords you better opportunity or that believing that because one is white they should have better opportunity?


Both, really. White is very much the 'default' in western society and being born white means you have to deal with less gooseberry fool than being an 'other' race.

EDIT; Just read that twitlonger essay from Bain. Yeah, he has no idea what he's talking about there. I mean at all.

Good lord it's like he thought having access to thesaurus.com meant he was allowed to have bad takes.

"This didn't affect me so it can't be true" is how I'm summarising that

*Sees new title*

So we're dragging up the whole Gamergate thing again. Granted I pretty much missed it first time around (thank Christ) but hasn't it been done to death already, although in this instance seemingly to dance on some guys grave?

Not why I come here.

I don't know if you're aware but I made the decision to split the Total Biscuit thread into a condolences thread and this politics thread.

It sounds to me like you don't want to discuss the politics surrounding Total Biscuit and would be better off in the other thread. That's fine. I wanted to give people the choice of what to talk about.

If that's what he wrote on twitter then yeah, he's condoned his fans to do heinous things.

I'm a big fan of Destiny on Twitch (he's the guy who 'outed' Jontron for being a white nationalist) and he gets TONS of abuse mostly from the right, he has had FBI guys show up at his house asking if he molests his kid, he's been doxed a ton of times and he's literally called a pedophile and under age rapist all the time on twitter. He always AWAY's fought back and basically a gang of fans of the 'centrist' movement all complained about him and he's now blocked off twitter. He's had abuse non stop for 2 years, so much so he's thinking about not talking about anything political ever again yet whenever he even heard about one of his fans doxing anyone he banned them from his stream and always denounces any of that stuff.

I think he means to see the situation as ironic or to find humour in it is shitty.

My point, eloquently illustrated further by Karl ( :capnscotty: ) was that he didn't specifically tell his fans to attack people, he just helpfully pointed them towards those he thought should shut up then utterly failed to do anything about it when his fans harassed them

Don’t go back pages and quote me without including the comment that was on the same page that gives it context,

Mods made two threads for a reason. I said what I said and I repied. Absolutely you’re trolling me with your behaviour. Step back.

I think both these comments warrant more explanation and context. Venom, please try not to allow yourself to be a victim, I appreciate you are upset.

If people can't be kind to each other while discussing the sad death of someone, we will have to lock this topic. Thanks.

I've no idea why Venom has gone nuclear. I was merely questioning a sentence. I didn't 'GO BACK' I was reading the thread from the start and found the sentence confusing, literally that's all it was.

He must be having a bad day or something.

For context Photek TB has been quoted in an embedded tweet on here a few times telling someone to "get cancer and die", that is the comment to which Venom is referring as disgusting, which it is of course, and I guess you didn't know about that.

I did know about that. Hence the fact it is Ironic.

I guess me being called a banana split is my fault again then. Sorry about that.

The tweet in question was posted on the front page, so not sure how you missed it.

I can kind of see Boogies point on not shitting on the guy mere hours after he dies like that Bioware dev did. Shows you to be just as much of a cock.
