No, you just don’t seem to be understanding what I’m saying, or the point of the article linked. The source is the users, of course. What I’m saying is that they didn’t come from twitter. They’ve always been on Steam, just as they’ve always been on twitter or facebook.
And so, it logically follows that if you blame twitter for not dealing with users like that, then you must, by necessity, blame Valve for not dealing with them either.
Do you legitimately think that any use of the words “what about” makes something whataboutism?
No, that’s not what makes it whataboutism. That’s just a funny bit of your comment. What makes it whataboutism is your continued insistence that the problematic behavior is sourced from elsewhere. That’s not how things work. The right-wing extremism on Steam isn’t a symptom of extremism elsewhere. It isn’t sourced from elsewhere. It’s there on Steam, because the source for it is the same on Steam as it is on Twitter, right-wing extremist users. Suggesting that it is derived from the other sites implies that Valve is less responsible for it than other sites, which doesn’t make any sense. Furthermore, your argument in your comment is based on your perception of victimhood of video games by other media, which isn’t relevant to the conversation at all.
And finally, the fact that Steam supposedly has, by your estimation and without any supporting evidence, less right-wing extremism than other sites doesn’t make the problem better or worse for Valve. It’s still a problem, and it’s one they have to deal with. Not twitter, not Facebook, and not anyone else.
I’ve seen the videos of boot instructors being rightfully paranoid that the boots are gonna drop the live grenades during training, I feel like adding these into the mix would straight up give them heart attacks.
You literally said “what about” in your comment. You specifically argued that the problem lay elsewhere, and Steam is just a symptom. Attempting to absolve Steam of culpability in the problem because “games get blamed above other media” is absolutely whataboutism. It’s a bad argument.
Absolutely those platforms are a bigger problem, but your argument isn’t a very good one. Yes, we should go after those platforms. Yes, we should also go after Steam. Whataboutism never solved any problems.
People living in other countries aren’t deciding. It’s a change.org petition, it doesn’t mean shit.
Idk why you put “just another opinion” in quotes as if they said that, which they most certainly fucking did not. At best, casually inferring they support nazi propaganda is intellectually bankrupt. At worst, it’s a calculated insult on your part.
Either way, your argument isn’t a good one, because you didn’t even address their argument, you just invented one to disagree with.
T/S/He/y
this person claims in other comments to have grown up under a “communist regime” where he and his friends were supposedly raped.
looks at this person’s comment history, their life story bounces around enough you should not believe anything they say.
If you want it expanded upon, Sir Isaac Newton did so in his Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis, written in 1686. Specifically, whenever one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite on the first.
I’m sure there’s better educated people than me that could point out other laws of physics that Halo breaks with the grappling hook, but that’s the one that comes to mind. These aren’t things you can just develop more advanced tech for, and they can then be overcome. These are the fundamental laws that govern the entire universe. The only time we see them bend a little is in places like inside the cores of neutron stars. In other words, if you were around somebody that was bending these laws using some fancy piece of tech, it would probably end up being a very short and very bad day for you and everyone else.
I know at least one of those women said god told her about her “rape” in a dream. That’s just batshit crazy.
Probably not a whole lot that breaks the rules that govern the universe.
If that’s what you got out of his comment, maybe you should stick to the meme communities, then at least you can pretend your not understanding is just a bit you’re doing.
Facebook has been a hotbed of nazi communities for longer than twitter has been around.
Damn, that sucks. You don’t mind if I eat your portion, then?
Hey, even if you lose an election, that’s still a good chance to turn a profit. Those pussy hats and rainbow flags basically print money! Just tell any white person they’re being “an ally”, and they eat that shit up!
Maybe democrats should start selling NFTs, and tell people that for each one they buy, they’re adopting some migrant kid who’s sitting in one of the concentration camps Biden never shut down.
They have their shit together. This is how they operate. Next election will be more of exactly the same.
Well, if it didn’t work this time, maybe it will later. There’s always more brown people to murder for profit!
