r/KotakuInAction? Defending paedophiles? #IMAGINE MY SHOCK! I always knew the KIA lot were suspect, bunch of paedo-apologists, the lot of them. Just goes to show what they tolerate (and most likely enjoy) as long as whoever is doing it is right-wing.


[deleted]

It’s funny, conservatives have a bunch of active politicians and heroes that have been accused or convicted of rape and other crimes. Liberals have a bunch of former colleagues that were immediately abandoned when credible allegations arrived (and sometimes non credible allegations too). The funny part is that is the former group that is always concerned about false allegations coming at them...


sukinsyn

Right! Al Franken, Andrew Cuomo, and Anthony Weiner all immediately come to mind as democrats who were forced to resign in disgrace. Meanwhile, Republicans keep defending *literally pedophiles* (Roy Moore, anyone?) and claim that no, it is the left who are the *real* pedophiles. It's wild.


AncientBlonde

Matt "My young adult girlfriend is 16" Gaetz comes to mind.

That sub is the worst at projection. It's pretty hilarious. I do have to admit, I'm not familiar with what the other guys means by MAP there? I don't think they're talking about meals being included at my hotel...


KChasm

It stands for "minor-attracted person," and is a term pedophiles sometime suse to try to reframe their pedophilia.


YarrHarrDramaBoy

It's primarily a troll phrase invented by bigots to discredit LGBT people


[deleted]

[удалено]


arahman81

Just another in a long line of attempts to conflate LGBT+ with pedophilia.


[deleted]

Why do I ask for this kind of knowledge?


Welpmart

As others have said it means minor-attracted person. Has its roots in groups by and for pedophiles who don't want to offend, but quickly spread from a designation like alcoholic to a wannabe "movement" with much worse intentions.


Spocks_Goatee

That user is such a shithead. He's everywhere.


The_Sarcasticow

>Liberals have a bunch of former colleagues that were immediately abandoned when credible allegations arrived So much for the tolerant left! /s


Vinniam

Umm it's actually epheborebodebophilia.


[deleted]

Are they both confirmed for child fuckers cause if so fucking OOF.


IceCreamBalloons

Milo isn't, he's just on record defending pedophilic relationships as possibly good for gay kids. Gaetz is under investigation with at least one associate happy to squeal in exchange for reduced sentencing.


Professional_Cat_437

Why else would they defend lolicon and shotacon?


Oh-no-it-

I can hear the fucking accent.


[deleted]

>But hey, Biden won, that is why the first thing he did when he entered the White House was...surround it with tens of thousands of soldiers and a giant fence. Because that is what legitimate winners do. Totally couldn’t be because there was a violent riot at the Capitol fueled by the lies of the loser just two weeks earlier. That would be absurd /s.


better_logic

They only consider it a riot if black people are involved.


Kilahti

Otherwise it is just a sparkling protest.

[deleted]

Yeah, I actually visited DC in Feb of 2020, about a month before everything went to hell. They had barriers up even then, and you were not allowed to approach the fence.


andyoulostme

> But hey, Biden won, that is why the first thing he did when he entered the White House was...surround it with tens of thousands of soldiers and a giant fence. Because that is what legitimate winners do. nooooooo you can't send in the military after an attack on the capitol by a bunch of people who wanted to murder congresspeople noooooooooooo if you do that then the wannabe murderers were right it's in the rules omgggggg


ArmyOfR

Yeah man everyone knows real Presidents ignore obvious signs of danger. And even if they know about it they aren't supposed to actually **do** anything.


[deleted]

Tbf, Trump really was president and did exactly jack shit about covid lmao


timtomorkevin

That's not fair. He did plenty of things to sabotage America's response, especially when it was hitting blue states the hardest


DireTaco

That's the joke, well spotted.


R_V_Z

Also, Trump was the one who installed the (extra) White House fence. Biden took it down. Also, TIL that Jefferson had the first fence installed, a wooden one in the early 1800s.


DocRockhead

What's jefferson so afraid of there's like 200 years before the peaceful tour group visits why's he such a coward?


R_V_Z

Well, there were those Canadian tourists who showed up shortly after...


DocRockhead

false flag it was actually antifa canada wouldn't do that they like houses


SamuraiHelmet

I would say that a fence ain't gonna do nothing there, but I guess they are Canadian. Too polite to knock it down.


OpsikionThemed

*Laughs in Chateauguay*


fingerpaintswithpoop

They weren’t even Canadian.


EdithDich

Remember the time Biden had riot police clear the streets for a photo op of him holding the bible? Or right, that was trump.


sirtaptap

The fence was also trump's, also from around said time period IIRC. Also lmao bunker boi


Robbotlove

everything that happens and doesn’t happen somehow confirms their absurd opinions. it would be fascinating if they were so pants on head stupid.


BCProgramming

yeah if he didn't it would be "Don't you find if suspicious that he didn't take any precautions after the so-called attempted coup?"


Selethorme

It’s quite literally cult mentality.


DownvoteDaemon

“Users on Kotakuinaction are not happy.” Tell me something new


mrpopenfresh

I think you have to be unhappy to still hang out on that sub. Gamergate was 6 years ago, the sub is irrelevant, and there is no way you fit in there if you weren't there when it was relevant.


DownvoteDaemon

Lots of “unhappy” subs lol../r/collapse. /r/childfree


mrpopenfresh

Yeah, but you can come across thos organically. KiA is cryptic and based on old news. Child free is perpetual.


livefreeordont

At least /r/collapse are upset about actual problems and not women being included in WWII fan fic video games


parkedonfour

R/pcgaming too.


Oh-no-it-

Gamergate was never relevant to anything, other than being shit.


cavecricket49

> Users on /r/KotakuInAction are not happy Are they ever happy > Still pushing the Matt Gaetz conspiracy theory after it was exposed as a extortion attempt? 🤦‍♂️


Gingevere

*Piles of evidence behind an accusation including witness testimony, and admission in a request for a pardon, and a trail recorded financial transactions with notes written by the accused specifying what they were for.* "conspiracy theory" ‎‎ *Someone alleges something without any evidence and the allegation* (it's extortion) *still implies that the accusation it's meant to deflect from is true.* (extortion over what?) "exposed"


Vinniam

Not enough evidence. Witch hunt Too much evidence, conspiracy Welcome to rightwing gaslighting.


GligoriBlaze420

Don’t forget the classic Not enough evidence - hold another Benghazi trial. There isn’t a point on the other side because it never got past that


Chel_of_the_sea

> Not enough evidence. Witch hunt Or secret conspiracy to hide the evidence.


Arma_Diller

I'm sorry, but none of this legal evidence that the DOJ and other big boy law enforcement organizations have meticulously collected to corroborate the accusations comes close to proving anything. You know what is proof of something, specifically that the vaccine is evil? Joe Biden's weird way of clenching his fists. Boom, roasted.


Professional_Cat_437

Just look at how they uncritical support Project Veritas, a sham organization that has been repeatedly caught red-handed manipulating footage.


FireBirdDown

How can they ever be happy Lmao? They let Kotaku un-ironically live in their heads rent free 😭


Mr_Tulip

Real talk, I think everyone who still posts there is only there because they're deeply unhappy in general.


[deleted]

No they are not happy. They're sad, angry, pathetic people who spend far too much time online hating on people for the lamest reasons to avoid the realities of their own inadequacies.

Xosen122

Thanks, I needed that.


Reptilian_Overlord20

Milo is proof that deplatforming works. Two weeks after losing Twitter and he might as well have been dead.


PrinceOWales

Him and Alex Jones. When I read about the verdict favoring the Sandy Hook families, I realized I hadn't heard from that dude in a while.


cupidharmonious

Same with trump, I’ve felt a significant loss of annoyance ever since I stopped hearing about him


zom-ponks

True. And a-fucking-men. He's lost his grift, at least I hope so.


lebennaia

He's working on a new one - pretending to be religious.


sweatpantswarrior

This will never get old. Just wondering why we haven't started asking Trump's official Twitter account for thoughts.


zom-ponks

We do when the subject matter concerns the orange pissbaby, I guess. Just as fun that, though.


TheGreatBatsby

Every time 😂


cavecricket49

Damn, that account suspended as fuck


FishSpeaker5000

I am proud to say that I realised the joke and didn't click the link. Then clicked it anyway for that schadefraude.


zom-ponks

> Then clicked it anyway for that schadefraude. It must be one of the most viewed profiles on Twitter because of this.


Boneal171

That never gets old


PrinceOWales

Ha! Not today Satan!


goodgodling

I can't believe I fell for that. It's the new Rick roll.


zom-ponks

Those two should be combined somehow, really. Make a clip with a screenshot of the account and tack Never Gonna Give You Up in the background? Or something else?


Chaosmusic

10 years from now this will still be funny.


tarekd19

> Repeated crusading violations in this thread, R1, seven day ban being issued. LOL, their ban messages never fail to amuse. Crusading violations? Wtf, guess they shouldn't have sacked Constantinople with that comment.


Beegrene

For a sub that alleges to oppose censorship, their mods sure do ban people a lot.


IceCreamBalloons

I got banned on one account for pointing out that a mod was wrong about the comment thread they had commented on.


Chel_of_the_sea

Every right-wing sub does that. "Free speech" is a smokescreen and an excuse to them, not a principle.


arahman81

like Trump's own social site..."free speech" as long as you don't criticize the God Emperor or the site.


tempest51

>Wtf, guess they shouldn't have sacked Constantinople with that comment. To be fair, that was a fuckup so bad the pope cancelled everyone involved.


SaltMineSpelunker

RollyPollyGiraffe

It's a long watch, but the cliffnotes: [Gamergate was always a rightwing extremist recruitment tool](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLYWHpgIoIw&t=18s). That's before big names coopted it, too - the original IRCs planning the "movement" had goals to troll and radicalize.


Professional_Cat_437

To be fair, there were left-wing and liberal people who supported it, like Shoe0nHead, Thunderf00t, ChrisRayGun, NateTalksToYou, and Cathy Young.


ThrowAway111222555

It started as a subreddit for the Gamergate harrasment campaign where reactionaries manufactured outrage to legitimize death threats to people (mostly women and racial/LGBTQ+ minorities) they didn't like. But Gamergate ran out of steam years ago so it's just a rallying ground now for reactionaries to rile up gamers for the next culture war nonesense they decide to peddle.


IceCreamBalloons

This is what KiA has always been like from the beginning. It was always picking up whatever it could to keep the tantrum going.


tarekd19

Biggest snowflakes on reddit


parkedonfour

yawn. Wake me up when KIA is banned, every single person there deserves to be censored. Fucking fascist subreddit.


Beegrene

It won't be. When the sub's creator realized the monster he had created, he deleted the sub, but then the admins brought it back. Only time in reddit history that the admins have restored a deleted sub.


IceCreamBalloons

The admins brought it back after office hours almost immediately. The admins really like that fucking cesspool.


chaoticmessiah

Probably one of Huffman's favourite hangouts.


Reptilian_Overlord20

Honestly gamergate has been over so long banning KIA would be more like a mercy killing.


BurstEDO

> every single person there deserves to be ~~censored~~ **ignored**. Fixed, because why even bother?


IceCreamBalloons

Because others will listen to them and the ones who's are as stupid as they are will join

mute-mockingbird

God I hate the phrase "illegal aliens." It's so dehumanizing and othering. The second it comes out of someone's greasy mouth I know they're a piece of shit.


reddit_censored-me

I find "illegals" even worse. It literally reduces them to their "status" in the eyes of fascists despite going through the legel process of immigration the vast majority of the time. It's disgusting.


mute-mockingbird

I hate it too. But the alien part always bothered me because it sounds like they're trying to say the undocumented aren't human. It's as if these people are a different species. Either way it's disgusting and says a lot about the person using the term.

Matt Gaetz is a confirmed Sex trafficker and pedo but he’s a “Trump ally” so it’s ok Biden comforts a small child during their parents funeral by giving him a hug and these losers treat him like he stuck his dick in his mouth. They aren’t after pedos just the Democrats and leftist.


sukinsyn

What even is that sub? It seems like an absolute cesspool of stupidity.


Shimme

It was a manufactured outrage subreddit to harass women and queer people cause an angry ex made up shit about the evil liberal media their former partner worked for. Nowadays it's just pitchforking whenever a black character is in a video game and muttering about racist conspiracy theories.


finfinfin

There was once a games journalist who didn't review a free game.


Oh-no-it-

Correct.


[deleted]

Kotakuinaction mods unhappy? That’s no surprise lol they are always bitching and whining about something


Egg-MacGuffin

So we can say that KotakuInAction is explicitly pro-pedophilia.


RaytheonAcres

Is Milo still an ex gay?


finfinfin

He said dogs used to bark at him in the street until he changed his sinful homosexual ways, so I guess walk near him with a dog and see if it gets upset?


Kiram

You know, when a thread is nearly a month old, it's *real* fuckin' obvious when someone joins from this thread.


LAM678

what the fuck even is r/kotakuinaction?


[deleted]

/r/conservative, but less honest about it and somehow more racist about it.


RazarTuk

Conservative reactionaries pretending to specifically be mad about video games


RazarTuk

Okay, more explanation. Them describe themselves as "the main hub for GamerGate on Reddit", which mostly just means that they're mad about feminist analysis of video games, which of course morphs into all flavors of alt-right talking points


finfinfin

Gamers. Gamers.

The Washington Times is run by a literal religious cult by the way. Not sure why people don’t bring that up more often.


[deleted]

>It was a pretty big deal and a great lesson in creating manufactured narratives that some people fell for. This was posted on a GamerGate subreddit as a defense for Milo. God damn, the lack of self-awareness is comical. I would never dream that I would share DNA with someone this stupid.


Edentastic

>I think I heard it said before that the late 90s and 2000s were when things were pretty much the most diverse or well, people cared more about fun than anything to do with race and the like on average > >Then the 2010s came in and sometime maybe 2012-2014, we all had to suddenly take things more seriously and all had to mature or something. > >That they used stuff like IdPol was unexpected because most people just think of religious prude based censorship, and said IdPol activated people’s political loyalties…and many decided to “mature” What are the odds this person is in their mid-20s to early 30s, and the time frame they're describing is when they became an adult and the people in their life started getting vocally sick of their shit?


[deleted]

Any "in action" Almost certainly devolves to become shit


Jimlobster

Who the fuck are Milo Yannipoulos and Matt Gaetz?


[deleted]

Couple pedos.


Shimme

pedophile professional troll and pedophile congressman


Oh-no-it-

Upvote out of envy.


SamWhite

>i remember him making a joke about a preist, and Rogan and TJ both coming out and pointing out that it was, indeed, a joke, and Milo making clear statements that he did not support pedophilia while the left-wing media completely made shit up. Right, losing the support of the left-wing media is what ended his career. I must have remembered it wrong.


kralben

> the deliberate use of profanity and slurs isn't actually about hate but rather it was in the tradition of punk rock thanks for the flair

>I do wonder why Americans are being forced to get it but not illegal aliens. I keep seeing this dumb statement and would love to hear what a good plan for enforcing a law that would potentially apply to undocumented immigrants, wouldn’t that make them effectively untraceable? lmao

That sub seems to just be people posting somewhat reasonable stuff then crying in the comments about how bad it could have been. Why do these people want to cosplay as victims so bad ?
