You are a proud atheist in the emerging New Atheist movement attending one of the most impactful and energized conferences in your community. In June of 2011, you are in Dublin, Ireland, attending the World Atheist Convention, an event celebrating atheism, science advocacy, and secularism with some of the most famous freethinkers of the time. You enjoy the attendees and speakers so much that you stay up in conversation at the hotel bar until four in the morning. You see an attractive speaker retiring for the night, and you follow them to an elevator to ask them if they would like to join you for a cup of coffee. The speaker declines. You then go to your hotel room, alone. Afterward, the speaker that you were attracted to goes online to decry what you did. The speaker, and other extremists, denounce the New Atheist movement, a healthy and growing movement, as sexist. What you did becomes a catalyst for extremists to infiltrate and destroy the New Atheist movement.  
This is not a hypothetical scenario; this happened. Starting in the early 2010s, extremist infiltrators painted the New Atheist movement as sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, and “islamophobic.” Much of the success of these infiltrators was fueled by feminist Rebecca Watson declining a polite request for “coffee” in an elevator. Now, ten years after “Elevatorgate,” the New Atheist movement has lost influence and has become a ghost of its former self. 
A few weeks after the incident, Watson uploaded a video on YouTube describing what happened, stating:
 “… All of you except for the one man who didn’t grasp, I think, what I was saying on the panel, because, at the bar later that night — actually at four in the morning, we were at the hotel bar, four a.m. I said, I’ve had enough guys, I’m exhausted, going to bed, so I walked to the elevator, and a man got on the elevator with me and said, “Don’t take this the wrong way, but I find you very interesting, and I would like to talk more, would you like to come to my hotel room for coffee?” Um, just a word to the wise here, guys, don’t do that. I don’t really know how else to explain that this makes me incredibly uncomfortable, but I’ll lay it out that I was a single woman, you know, in a foreign country, at four a.m., in a hotel elevator with you, just you. I, don’t invite me back to your hotel room right after I’ve finished talking about how it creeps me out and makes me uncomfortable when men sexualize me in that manner.”
The idea that the New Atheist movement was systemically sexist is a blatant lie. No one denies that individual acts of sexual harassment occurred in the atheist community. Regarding Elevatorgate, it is wrong for someone to continue to express sexual interest in you after you have made it clear that you are not sexually interested in them. However, the person interested in Watson immediately accepted her denial, did not continue to express interest in her, and proceeded to his hotel room alone. Sexism was not at fault; instead, at most, maybe he misunderstood what she said. Claims like the ones these infiltrators have made over the years only hinder our community, a community that so many of us fought to develop. If anything, these infiltrators downplayed the problems of real systemic sexism that still exists in other parts of the world, as explained by Richard Dawkins in a sarcastic response to Watson, in what became known as the “Dear Muslima letter:.’’
Dear Muslima Stop whining, will you? Yes, yes, I know you had your genitals mutilated with a razor blade, and . . . yawn . . . don’t tell me yet again, I know you aren’t allowed to drive a car, and you can’t leave the house without a male relative. Your husband is allowed to beat you, and you’ll be stoned to death if you commit adultery. But stop whining, will you. Think of the suffering your poor American sisters have to put up with. Only this week I heard of one; she calls herself Skep” chick,” and do you know what happened to her? A man in a hotel elevator invited her back to his room for coffee. I am not exaggerating. He really did. He invited her back to his room for coffee. Of course, she said no, and of course, he didn’t lay a finger on her, but even so . . . And you, Muslima, think you have misogyny to complain about! For goodness sake, grow up, or at least grow a thicker skin. Richard
To Richard’s point, he’s right! To add to his remarks, atheist circles downplayed the injustices of the Islamic world. Many of the extremist infiltrators have silenced or critiqued criticism of Islam by non-woke atheists. Those extremist infiltrators, those who called themselves atheists and secularists, defended religion in the name of their new religion: Critical Social Justice. I know this because I have seen it myself. The topic of Islam was not the only topic affected by the extremist infiltrators. After their success in taking over the movement five years later, several groups of atheists, the majority of the movement’s supporters, men and women alike, were seen as pariahs at atheist conferences.
Bill Maher type Liberals
Secular Libertarians and Conservatives
Ex Muslims
Those accused of harassment without evidence
Anyone who questioned the Atheism+ narrative (criticism was constantly conflated with harassment and ‘cyberstalking’)
Women who disagreed with radical feminists (they were charged with ‘parroting misogynistic thought’ and ‘internalized misogyny’)
In a short span of five years, from 2011 to 2016, movement employees, executives, and board members allowed extremists into their organizations to guide them to see the “sexism” that they did not know existed in their organizations. In 2012, extremist infiltrators pressured several atheist movement leaders to condemn the many ordinary atheists who didn’t believe in the false narrative of systemic sexism in the movement, disguised as “Hate Directed at Women.” People like Watson and other infiltrators wore special goggles to see alleged hatred that normal people could not notice. The atheist movement paid the price in 2016 at the second Reason Rally, where instead of 30,000 atheists in the rain like the first Rally four years prior, we likely had only between five hundred to almost a few thousand, all because of weakness; wokeness in the atheist movement that began with Elevatorgate. 
Unlike other organizations who tolerated such infiltration and subversion of the movement, Atheists for Liberty will not make the same mistake. It is because of the weakening of the movement that Atheists for Liberty exist in the first place! 
Over the past eight years, I have seen:
Millions of dollars once belonging to world-renowned atheist organizations were lost.
Conferences, some once having numbers in the hundreds, if not thousands, dead.
Some of the most horrific and superstitious belief systems defended in the name of wokeness
Organizers of events facing real harassment because they dared to have “politically incorrect” speakers, speakers who were seen as ordinary, non-sexist, New Atheist types just a few years prior
The movement’s professionalism fade away in the name of this infiltration
Ex Muslims disregarded by movement organizers in the United States
A friend’s life, once respected as a bold, national figure in the movement, is destroyed by false allegations lobbed against him. He nearly committed suicide.
And as of 2021, I am only 23…
Ten years ago, we allowed an ideology to consume a movement that could have changed the world.
Elevatorgate was one of the Borg-like origin points of modern wokeness. It is only together that we can rebuild what was lost and ensure that silly events like this one never hinder atheist activism again. This is what I am going to dedicate my life to.
==
Sheedy is being exceedingly generous here where I will not. Let's be completely clear: we have literally no reason to think that Rebecca Watson's purported incident even actually happened. None. She provided no evidence, someone attempted to determine if elevator CCTV footage existed or could be accessed to corroborate the story but was bullied for not unquestioningly believing the claim. Watson herself lamely and conveniently claimed to be suffering prosopagnosia (face blindness), and both her and her acolytes called anyone who was, ahem, skeptical, about the claim in the absence of any evidence every istaphobe name under the sun. Eerily the same as bible-thumping preachers commanding you to believe or be condemned to eternal hellfire.
Which is suspicious for people purporting to be skeptics, particularly Watson who styled herself as the "Skepchick." Jussie Smollett's case had fewer holes.
It's the irreligious equivalent of First Corinthians:
1 Corinthians 15:6
After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
This was the day Rebecca Watson, single-handedly lead the intersectional collapse of New Atheism and ushered in the first woke ideological takeover. Whether it was deliberate and calculated or accidental through her own stupidity and hubris is, by this point, irrelevant.
There were, of course, far more to come.

Can you connect the German city of Kiel to Diehard please? Thanks
Well the lazy way of doing this is the villain in Die Hard is Hans Gruber who was German and Kiel is in Germany. I could also be like: Oh Bruce Willis was born in Germany and yeah. But I love making things more convoluted than that...
So, we all know that Bruce Willis is in Die Hard, but an even more important role was his role as Tony Amato in one singular episode of Miami Vice, which we all know stars Don Johnson in it, who we all know was in Rian Johnson's movie Knives Out, which we all know. Ok I'll stop, even if this is just for you. You know actually I really wanted to connect this to Knives Out and then to 10 Things I Hate About You or 3rd Rock from the Sun because of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, but I have changed my mind, as it turns out Edward James Olmos is in the same Miami Vice episode as Don Johnson. Okay, so Edward James Olmos is Admiral Adama in Battlestar Galactica, which also stars Michael Hogan, from your favorite TV show ever, Teen Wolf. BUT, he is also in Skyrim as General Tullius. Skyrim also has Christopher Plummer as Arngeir, who was also in Knives Out. But that's not as fun as connecting to Charles Martinet, who was in the Mario movie despite not playing Mario but whatever. Now, as much as I love Charlie Day and want to connect through him, I feel the need to connect through Crisp Rat, but I'm resisting that cause I had a revelation. Charlie Day is in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, starring Danny DeVito, but Kim Whalen was in an episode of that show, and I love Starkid. Corey Dorris is also in Starkid and he was in an episode of Future Man, which has our icon, Josh Hutcherson, who was in Journey to the Centre of the Earth with Brendan Frasier, who was in the Mummy with Rachel Weisz, and she is married to Daniel Craig, bringing us BACK to Knives Out. Am I losing track of the mission?? NO!!!! So, Knives Out has many amazing cast members, but one of the more iconic ones, is Frank Oz. I just realized that my goal was to eventually bring my connection to the Lion King, and I can easily do that now cause Frank Oz is Yoda, but also that's lame cause I wanted to bring it to Matthew Broderick, but let it be known that we could just do Frank Oz to James Earl Jones at this point. So, Frank Oz was in Star Wars with Mark Hamill, who is in many, many things, such as Avatar, which features Dee Bradley Baker as Appa. He is also Perry the Platypus in Phineas and Ferb (for some reason my brain broke and almost wrote Despicable Me). Phineas and Ferb features Thomas Brodie-Sangster, which is always very funny to me, but it also has Ashley Tisdale, who was in the wonderful movie, 2009's Aliens in the Attic. Aliens in the Attic features many people, including Austin Butler, someone who was in the After movies, Tim Meadows, and Andy Richter, who played Mort in Madagascar. Ben Stiller is in Madagascar, who was in Night as the Museum, which has Rami Malek, who was in Bohemian Rhapsody with Joe Mazzello, who is in Jurassic Park (AND a movie called Star Kid). Jeff Goldblum is in Jurassic Park and also in Thor: Ragnarok, which also has Sam Neill in it, but unrelated to the goal at hand. Thor has Chris Hemsworth, who was in 2009's Star Trek, starring Chris Pine, who was in Wonder Woman with Robin Wright, who is in the Princess Bride with Cary Elwes, who was in Psych. Since they are not in the same episode, James Roday Rodriguez is in Psych, and so is Ally Sheedy, who was in War Games with Matthew Broderick.
To answer your question, yes, I came to the official conclusion that I really needed to get on track or this would literally last forever. Crazy how I can get myself to do this and not my homework. Ignore the fact that it took me over a month to respond to your question. Matthew Broderick is Simba in the Lion King, which also features Nathan Lane as Timon. Nathan Lane was in The Nutcracker: The Untold Story, which I know about solely because of Danny Gonzalez. Nathan Lane plays Albert Einstein in this movie, and so, within the lore of the movie, we could accurately state that because Albert Einstein exists within the movie, so does Max Planck, who knew Lise Meitner. I just wanted to say that cause I am aware as to how much you love her. But Max Planck was born in Kiel. Thank you and goodnight.
If I wanted to play this seriously, and not in my convoluted "6" Degrees of Michael Sheen way, probably could've connected Die Hard to Charlie Chaplin somehow, who met Albert Einstein but NO!!
I hope you enjoy this well thought out response, @wiggogwiggogywrath :)
P.S. That point where I was nervous about this going on forever took A LOT of willpower to not continue. Like I was gonna go into the After series and then end up in Harry Potter or some shit. I'm sure I would eventually run into both Smosh and Dropout cause I am addicted. Luckily for you, I was so concentrated at the task at hand, I somehow like forgot that I usually include those too but whatever. There ya go. Bitch.
P.P.S. I just wanted to do this cause now I can't stop please send help oh god oh no I can't stop, can't stop typing why did you do this to me I can't escape
P.P.P.S. Bye :)

Hi!!!! Youre really good when it comes to fan-casting so I wanted to ask you if stranger things was actually filmed in the 80s, then who can you see portraying the characters (adult cast in the show and actors/actresses that aren't in the show)????
*gasp* Okay, wow, that's an awesome question! I'm going to try and use only the actors and actresses from the show, but no promises.
Steve Harrington: Matthew Modine (Dr. Brenner)
*LISTEN, EVERYONE.  That’s my Ted Talks.
Jonathan Byers: Sean Astin (Bob Newby)
Will Byers: C. Thomas Howell
Martin Brenner: Paul Gleason (added 01/26/23)
Mike Wheeler: Keanu Reeves
Lucas Sinclair: Jamie Foxx
Dustin Henderson: Robert Downey Jr.
Erica Sinclair: Regina Hall
Billy Hargrove: Rob Lowe (the character was *Chris Traeger’s voice* "literally" based on Rob’s character in St. Elmo’s Fire)
Max Mayfield: Diane Lane
Jane Hopper: Ally Sheedy
Sam Owens: Robert De Niro
Henry Creel:
Nancy Wheeler: Winona Ryder (Joyce Byers) or Jennifer Grey
Joyce Byers:
Jim Hopper: Willem Dafoe, because, why not? Or Patrick Swayze.
Barbara Holland: 
Robin Buckley: Helen Hunt
|——————————————————|
❌ Remaining Cast: Paul Reiser (Dr. Owens) & David Harbour (Jim Hopper)
• Paul would be in his 20s and David is a literal baby in the 80s, so that’s why I didn’t cast them
I chose to leave the parents off... . This is so irrelevant, but Sean and Winona are 51 years old as of now and David is 47 years old as of now. My mind has been, and will be for a while, blown.

“Posse in Woods Seeks Farmhand Who Chases And Shot At Employer,” Toronto Star. September 26, 1932. Page 17. ---- Hired Man Ran Amok With Rifle – Now at Large Near Pembroke --- FIRED AT CHASER --- Believed to Have Become Crazed When Told He Would Lose Job ---- Pembroke, Ont., Sept. 26. – Armed with shotguns, revolvers, police batons and bludgeons, a posse under provincial police set out at dawn to-day through the thickly wooded outlying parts of Pembroke in search of Frank Whitford, 34, English-born farm hand, who, with high-powered rifle chased Lawrence Sheedy half a mile, shot at him, and then shot at Sheedy’s cousin, Thos. Sheedy.
Believed to have become temporarily crazed when told that he would be out of employment after Saturday night, and harboring a grudge against Lawrence Sheedy, his employer, because he was not permitted to attend a county fair. Whitford, who came to Canada from England when a small orphan, seized, a high-powered rifle yesterday, and chased Sheedy half a mile, firing shots at him at intervals.
One shot struck Sheedy’s clothing and grazed his skin. He was not severely injured.
Falling to catch up to Sheedy, Whitford turned his attention to a cousin of Lawrence Sheedy, Thomas, farmer of Connaught settlement. He fired two shots at him, but did not injured him.
Failing to strike down either of his enemies, Whitford then took for the woods, evading efforts of police and neighbors.
To-day, a posse of police, assisted by farmers and residents of Pembroke, started out in many directions in search of Whitford.
‘We don’t know exactly where he went, so it is going to be a difficult hunt,’ Constable Canney told The Star today.
‘There was no reason for Whitford becoming angry at my husband,’ Mrs. Lawrence Sheedy told The Star today.
‘Was Whitford refused permission to go to the fair?’ “Mr. Sheedy told him he could go in the daytime, but not in the evening.’
‘Was Whitford dismissed from your employ?’ ‘He was dismissed last Tuesday, but we let him stay on until Sunday. He didn’t want to go and took a rifle we had in the house and a box of cartridges and began to chase my husband up the road, shooting at him every few seconds.;’
Whitford, according to Mrs. Sheedy, was a good workman and had caused no previous trouble.
Whitford has seven or eight cartridges in his possession, according to Mrs. Sheedy, and ‘may put up a fight if he is cornered.’
