Bobduh FolloW @BObduh This is true of basically all online invented this whole "controversy" is gates," but it's wild how fully #MeToo allegations roil U.S. anime conventions | The Japan Times Over the past two months, the #MeToo movement breached the American anime convention industry. Most feel it was inevitable. Many say it's about japantimes.co.jp 7:55 AM-11 Mar 2019 17 Retweets 42 Likes Bobduh @B0bduh Sh This isn't an argument with two sides - Vic just has a lot of young fans who don't know how adult businesses work, and can't believe that someone who was important to them is a bad person Bobduh @BObduh 5h On top of this, there's an entire industry of right-wing youtubers who've made it their purpose in life to tell those fans their shapeless anger is totally just, and actually there's some massive conspiracy keeping them down Bobduh @BObduh 5h The first group need to genuinely grow out of their cruelty and naivety, and the second group are willfully disingenuous actors who will never change. There's nothing to "debate" with, just an elemental force of ignorant rage and propaganda Bobduh @BObduh 5h No volume of evidence will convince a child their hero is a bad person. No irrefutable counterpoint will make those youtubers grow a conscience. This is just the toxic, inescapable background noise of fandom now Bobduh @BObduh 5h This may sound like a hopeless thread, but my point is more that "friendlier debate" is not the answer. We're dealing with a dedicated, fundamentally insincere, and malicious political force, and we need to understand that 29 Bobduh @B0bduh 5h Every time a new situation arrives where the right-wing/conspiratorial end of fandom can say "the SJWs are at it again!, they will collectively engage with the full force of their performed rage, and their fans will follow suit with an endless volume of sincere rage Bobduh @B0bduh 5h Anyone who has any sort of platform on social media knows this is true, and it is a threat that hangs over every potential public comment. Even just voicing support for victims will put you in the crosshairs of these people Bobduh @BObduh 5h So if some public figure seems frustrated or short with commenters, please know that they're almost certainly dealing with a vast volume of private comments that are all intended purely to make them feel terrible about themselves, Bobduh @BObduh 5h Leading to them potentially saying something in anger that can then be fed back into the outrage machine, thus retroactively justifying the campaign against them Bobduh @BObduh 5h Be kind. There are more than enough willfully malicious characters at work here and the internet's biggest social media channels are designed to foster misunderstanding and anger while dehumanizing everyone

I just don't understand. They keep trying to defend their behavior with "Well he did something bad!!" but when reasonable people ask them what he did, the most they can say is "Well he hugged me and I didn't like it!"

Combine this with people supporting persecuting him being either hypocritical, homophobic, or racist, when they're pretending this is morally just and things start to look really fishy. Maybe it's not a conspiracy, but someone absolutely has it out for Vic, and it's naive to say otherwise.

I just wish people would stop ignoring or outrightdefending the twitter hate mob taking advantage of outrage culture to get what they want. This isn't even about politics anymore. It stopped being about politics as soon as people started sending death threats to a group of kids who wore hats they didn't like.
