Moon Studios' Thomas Mahler supports a hate movement

As someone who adores the Ori games, this is just awful in so many ways.

"Cancel culture" DOESN'T EXIST. What you're talking about is people demanding certain figures of power and influence to be held accountable for spewing bigoted hate speech or causing a toxic environment.

"Woke culture"? You mean a culture that acknowledges the existence of marginalized communities i.e people of colour, disabled people, queer, gender-non comforming people. Yet to you, that's somehow a terrible thing.

How dare you use a powerful poem dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust-the horrific tragedy of the history of humanity-to complain about your first-world persecution complex! To whine how sad it is that cishet white men like you own-*gasp*-slightly LESS of the world! Oh woah is me! You don't deserve to utter those words. Also, wanting more diversity, representation and equality in video games, game development and games journalism ISN'T THE SAME AS NAZISM! And don't me give that "The Nazis were socialists" bullcrap! THEY WERE FAR-RIGHT FASCISTS! You should know better. You're Austrian for crying out loud!

Having a women and minorities exist in video games and development isn't an "agenda". It's called KNOWING PEOPLE OTHER THEN CISHET WHITE GUYS EXIST. Also, "Hollywood" and "west coast developers" have nothing to do with this. Society is just changing, becoming more inclusive for the better and entertaining of all mediums are reflecting that. And that's great! Unless you have a problem with that.

Your friends were never "ridiculed" because they "didn't conform". Far from that tragic martyr rubbish you claim. They were rightfully reprimanded and fired for being bigoted jerks who didn't respect the humanity of marginalized people....just like you.

If you really believe the existence of minorities are "political", then I have nothing to say but SCREW. YOU.

Overall, there's just no way of putting it: Thomas Mahler is member and supporter of Gamergate.

Despite what they might tell you, Gamergate isn't and never was about "ethics" or "wanting fun apolitical entertainment". It is, has been and always will be a white supremacist hate movement (alongside Comicsgate and The Fandom Menace) dedicated to chasing women, LGBTQ+ people and BIPOC out of gaming and fandom. Its members and ringleaders are and have always been LITERAL NEO-NAZIS. Even when boycotting certain games over the supposed diversity consultants or the inclusion of minorities, they can barely hide their hatred.

Oh, and once again, THESE PEOPLE ARE LITERAL NEO-NAZIS:

(As evidenced by the "Embrace Tradition. Reject Modernity" white supremacist slogan*.)

Remember, if you still want to play his games, that's fine. I don't have the power to stop you. Just be warned that this developer stands with a hate movement.

*Hey, Nazi-turds, Japan and Korea aren't your Aryan utopias nor are their people your precious Aryan supergods!

Still one of my personal favorite Magneto scenes, wherein the Master of Magnetism elaborates on how once historically peaceful symbols & icons can be so easily corrupted & twisted by the most evil & cruel people that humanity has to offer…

From Magneto (2014) #16 by Cullen Bunn & Gabriel Hernandez Walta.

Proof that Lily Orchard called Rebecca Sugar a Fascist/Nazi apologist while lying about her heritage.

Given that she has befriended her anti-trans, Trump-supporting brother, befriended a Neo-Nazi to both get back at her critics and Rebecca Sugar, it becomes obvious:

Lily Orchard is a far-right, brownfacing, antisemitic bigot cosplaying as a "woke progressive of color" just so she can infiltrate leftist spaces, spread her hateful rhetoric and take advantage of vulnerable people.

In other words: Lily Orchard is no different then a TERF.

Congratulations, Lily. You are a trans Auntie Ruckus, Blaire White 2.0.

“Local Moron Who Denies Nazi War Crimes and Associates with Nazi Apologists Upset that People Call Her a Nazi Apologist.”

Remember who JKRowlings friends (aka homophobes, transphobes, and fascists) are:

Important distinction regarding JKR and Holocaust denial

I think it's really important that we get the distinction here right, especially to be as effective as possible.

"... that would fall under the category of Nazi crime denialism. Now, there is a reason I use that phrase in particular.

"She has not, at time of recording, engaged in holocaust denial. That needs to be made very clear. The holocaust very specifically refers to the crimes committed against the Jewish people by the Nazis.

"However, the holocaust was not the only crime committed by the Nazis. So while holocaust denial is a form of Nazi crime denial, not every Nazi crime denial is holocaust denial."

Vera Wylde - JK Rowling's Nazi crime denial and why it matters

I would highly encourage everyone to watch this video. She goes into a lot of detail and breaks down all of the proof that the Nazis burning that material did factually happen. It's a very well put together video.

Bonus for supporting her as a trans creator!

Also: No one ever calls bigotry cringe. No one ever calls gatekeeping cringe. No one ever calls discrimination cringe. No one ever calls Neo-Nazism cringe. No one ever calls fascism cringe. No one ever calls racism cringe. No one ever calls transphobia cringe. No one ever calls misogyny cringe. No one ever calls ever fatphobia cringe. No one ever calls queerphobia cringe. No one ever calls ableism cringe. No one ever calls hate speech cringe.

Only non-whiteness is called cringe. Only being trans and/or queer is called cringe. Only having mental neurodisabilities like Autism, Asperger's syndrome, Down syndrome and other is called cringe. Only having plus-sized bodies is called cringe. Only diversity and representation in games, animation, film, ect is called cringe. Only calling for more inclusion is called cringe. Only social justice is called cringe.

Cringe culture is, was and always will be white supremacy driven by the culture of cruelty.

Ever notice how any time someone calls you "cringe", 99 times out of 100 what they mean is "you're happy and I don't like it"

Bit late to the punch but I thought I would chime in on this since I’m in freedom land and can’t get sued by her.

[bonnie-orchard]

Don't forget:

All because she hated that sweet, queer Jewish lady and others like her.

Just a reminder that white supremacist fascists like Trump hate disabled people because their very existence in the face of their eugenist beliefs of the "perfect master race" rubbish. And as an Autistic, queer woman, I proudly give them this:

He sounded interested and even concerned. I thought he had been touched by what the doctor and advocates in the meeting had just shared about their journey with their patients and their own family members. But I was wrong.

“Those people . . . ” Donald said, trailing off. “The shape they’re in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die.”

I truly did not know what to say. He was talking about expenses. We were talking about human lives. For Donald, I think it really was about the expenses, even though we were there to talk about efficiencies, smarter investments, and human dignity.

I turned and walked away

[from later in the article]

Donald took a second as if he was thinking about the whole situation.

“I don’t know,” he finally said, letting out a sigh. “He doesn’t recognize you. Maybe you should just let him die and move down to Florida.”

Wait! What did he just say? That my son doesn’t recognize me? That I should just let him die?

Did he really just say that? That I should let my son die . . . so I could move down to Florida?

Really?

[...]

Maybe I shouldn’t have been surprised to hear Donald say that. It wasn’t far off from what he’d said that day in the Oval Office after our meeting with the advocates. Only that time, it was other people’s children who should die. This time, it was my son.

When you’re legitimately so evil you tell a parent, your own fucking nephew, to their face that it’d be more cost-effective to let their child die because they are disabled.

Honestly, it's not the ableism or eugenics that shocks me. Donald Trump has shown who he is time and time again. I guess what got me was that he’d be willing to hold the same views for family members.

Usually these types of people make exceptions for their own. “It’s not immoral if it’s my abortion, I’m only doing this because I have no choice, mine is necessary” kind of thing.

But nope. Donald just straight up thinks his great nephew should die because it’s expensive to keep him alive.

Jesus Wept.

Fucking vote. Please, I’m begging you. As a disabled immigrant who isn’t able to vote I see so many people saying they’re going to boycott the election by not voting and I want to scream.

You boycott products by withholding money.

Not voting in elections only disenfranchises yourself. You’re not protesting. You’re giving tyrants power.

Please vote like people’s lives depend on it because they do.

If you need help figuring out how to register I will help you but please. Please vote.

That time J.M. DeMatteis killed-off Captain America’s Arch-Nemesis, the Red Skull

One element that I really loved about the final arc of J.M. DeMatteis’ criminally underrated run on Captain America, “The Death of the Red Skull,” is how effectively captured just how much Steve Rogers and the Red Skull are truly the polar opposites to each other. DeMatteis' emphasizes what a heartless monster the Red Skull truly is, as he literally believes himself to be a personification of evil and madness itself (and likewise, Steve the personification of honor and nobility).

When the Skull learns that he is dying of old age, he develops a formula that causes Steve to rapidly age alongside him so that they can both die together locked in mortal combat for all eternity (he also injects both Steve and himself with poison before their fight). But when Steve Rogers refuses to give into the Red Skull's insane plan, even after hearing about the his entire dark past, the Skull attempts to push Steve over the edge by targeting those he cares about like the his then-fiancé Bernadette Rosenthal, his old childhood friend Arnie Roth, and superhero partner Sam Wilson (aka, the Falcon), and when he apparently kills them in an explosion (they actually survived), Cap abandons all sense of pity he might have once felt for just how sad and pathetic the Skull’s life is, and nearly gave him his wish of death by combat. But Steve ultimately decides to NOT deliver the killing blow, refusing to satisfy the Skull's insane god-complex, thereby denying the Skull the death he so desperately desired. And then the Red Skull finally succumbs to both old age and the poison, dying in the arms of his arch foe…

A pathetic death perfectly fitting for not only a literal WWII-era Nazi, but undeniably the most evil character in the entire Marvel Universe. Instead of going out in a blaze of delusional “godlike glory” like he originally planned, the Red Skull died a hollow & empty death as he failed to bring Captain America down to his level.

From Captain America (1968) #300 by J.M. DeMatteis (along with the pseudonym”Michael Ellis” due to editorial conflicts and script rewrites for the issue) & Paul Neary.

Being a true galaxy-brained Doctor Who fan is hitting the epiphany that every showrunner had their strengths and their weaknesses and their own interpretations of the Doctor and you can like or dislike any aspect of any showrunner and acknowledge their genuine mistakes/bad choices/yikes decisions (such as racism, sexism, homophobia, questionable undertones, lack of agency for female characters, etc.) and it is COMPLETELY VALID to have that turn you off of a Doctor/showrunner but also acknowledge that some of the things that people have considered bad writing over the years are often personal preference (valid opinion, not always valid fact) and that just as there are clunkers in every season, there's something to appreciate about every showrunner and every Doctor.

After all, "The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't always spoil the good things and make them unimportant."

Extra reminder that Lily Orchard and Mikalia befriended a Neo-Nazi over their hatred of queer, marginalized creators. Especially Rebecca Sugar, a non-binary, bisexual Jewish woman decended from Holocaust survivours

Got a lot done today! Took a long shower, went to the grocery store, realized I'd forgotten my debit card and had to turn around and go home to get it, tore down some neo-nazi propaganda that was on to a telephone pole in front of the high school on the way back to the store, finished buying my groceries (luckily my SNAP card covered most of it), then came home and browned some hamburger meat that we're gonna use for chili tomorrow night (we inherited my aunt's crock-pot and I've really been looking forward to making chili in it). Now I'm in my pajamas and waiting for tonight's dinner to finish cooking, and as soon as it's done I'ma go and smoke lots of marijuana and relax for the rest of the evening.
