Personally, I love when SJWs begin to eat each other.
So this article has been making the rounds, and I’ve repeatedly been asked to comment on it.
http://laurajmixon.com/2014/11/a-report-on-damage-done-by-one-individual-under-several-names/
Apparently a member of the literati SJW army—and super prestigious Campbell nominee for BEST NEW WRITER—has turned out to be a huge internet troll, with a bunch of aliases, attacking and tormenting people. Of course, those of you who read this blog or followed Sad Puppies are like, duh… They attack and torment Larry, and anybody who agrees with him nonstop, but no my friends… Benjanun Sriduangkaew did the unthinkable and used their regular SJW tactics of threats, insults, intimidation, and career sabotage against fellow SJWs, and that is super badthink!
Now, when you threaten, intimidate, troll, and try to sabotage the career of anybody who disagrees with the Social Justice narrative, then that is doubleplus good! Try not to get confused.
I tried to read that article linked above, but the first page is caveats and trigger warnings and excuses and namby-pamby blah blah blah to ensure that nobody of any protected groups gets their feelings hurt. She could have just copy and pasted ONE OF US! ONE OF US! a couple hundred times and saved some space. Yes, author, the audience is now aware of your proper goodthink credentials. Get to the point.
But by the time she got to a paragraph of hand wringing about Ferguson—where her total ignorance of the facts of the case make me really glad we have a functioning justice system that requires things like jury trials and evidence—I’ll admit that I gave up and started to skim.
Basically, this “up and coming writer” who was nominated for a prestigious writing award for having one pro sale short story and being a Thai Lesbian (which is totally worth like ten books of actual writing) treated fellow SJWs the way that SJWs treat all of us, and that is the worst thing ever. And now she should be shunned by all the other proper good thinkers for hate speech crimes and unsafe feels. She will now be banned from Wiscon’s Racially Segregated Safe Zones and I’m sure people will threaten not to attend WorldCon because she might call them fat.
A note on being an “up and coming writer”, as far as I know this woman had a handful of short stories, only one of which would have counted as a professional sale, and a blog where she wrote about Social Justice crap, and that was enough to get her nominated for the Campbell Award for Best New Author. It doesn’t look like this nominee for Best New Writer has published much since.
Meanwhile, when I got nominated for the same Campbell award a few years before I was “controversial”, “threatening”, and “a right wing hate monger”, who “made them feel unsafe” and if I won it would “end literature forever.” But then again, I had only published two really successful novels and several short stories at the time, and since gone on to publish ten more novels, a few dozen short stories, and some novellas… Only, we all know as a libertarian minded Republican I can never be a *real* writer.
Yet, when I say that the Hugo awards are biased in favor of the liberal cause of the day, I’m the controversial one. Go figure.
So anyways, UP AND COMING WRITER and SUPER PRESTIGIOUS AWARD NOMINEE turns out to be an anonymous troll douchebag on the internet. Whoop.
The fun part of this for me is watching all of the politically correct writers freaking out this week about how her behavior is totally unacceptable. How career sabotage, fake reviews, slander, libel, trolling, doxxing, and threats are the worst things ever… Yet, I wonder… Where were all these people when it was me getting attacked?
Oh, that’s right. I’m on the other team, so anything goes against non-SJWs.
When writers say something that doesn’t fit the SJW narrative, we know to expect their trolling, attacks, death threats, and calls for boycott from the caring SJWs. We expect to see our names dragged through the mud, with unsubstantiated cries of racist, sexist, homophobic, misogynist, hater applied. Showing up in major newspapers with fabricated quotes attributed to us? No big deal. We expect to be labeled as “rape apologists” to tens of thousands of complete strangers.
But that’s totally cool. Lies and slander are perfectly fine when directed at right wingers. The same people condemning Sriduangkaew’s behavior manage to overlook or even laugh along with the exact same behavior when directed against people who aren’t part of their little incestuous tribe.
If you follow history you know that leftist movements always end up with leftists eating each other. This article was just Trotsky getting the ice axe to the head.
The SJWs are perfectly aware of their hypocrisy. They talk about how Sriduangkaew was praised for “punching up”, meaning that it was okay for her to use these tactics against non-members. Threaten somebody of the correct sex and race, cool. Threaten somebody of the wrong sex and race, bad. If you have a brain, you will find that sexist or racist, but you are not thinking like a proper SJW. Anything they say isn’t sexist or racist, but anything we do is. Simple.
If you really want to see just how stupid people can get, read the comments, where SJWs argue about “privilege”, where a bunch of white, liberal suburbanites excuse attacks on people who disagree with them, because they probably possess some nebulous concept of privilege. Like me for example, I grew up with Portuguese Dairy Farmer Privilege, where all that back breaking manual labor, knee deep in cow shit, at 3:00 in the morning, in order to scrape by in near poverty all those years, somehow turned me white and made it so that it was okay for SJWs to lie about me.

Privilege sounds awesome. You guys should totally get some of it.
This article is hilarious. They actually break her trolling down with graphs! GRAPHS! Yes, they literally analyze Sriduangkaew’s obnoxious behavior based upon the race and sex of who she attacked. Because they are equal opportunity assholes!
A reasonable person would say, hey, maybe you should just not troll and slander anybody, but reasonable people only say that because of privilege (and sanity). A proper Social Justice Warrior knows that since they’re full of shit, all they’ve got is dirty tricks and outrage in their toolbox, so they can’t give that stuff up. That would force them to debate with logic and facts! And everybody knows logic and facts are privileged cisgendered colonial patriarchy!
This is one reason I’ve been enjoying the hell out of GamerGate. First, it has been awesome having a great big group of people witness the same bullshit that my industry has been dealing with for years. Second, SF/F people tend to be squishy and polite, with a handful of outspoken outliers like me and the rest of the Evil League of Evil, so SJWs have run roughshod over my industry… But gamers? Holy shit. You really think you can pick a fight with people whose brains are programmed to win? Gamers will outlast, outthink, and outfight the SJWs. Tell a Gamer that there is loot or XP in it, and he’ll grind SJWs to the grave.
So enjoy this SJW cannibal feeding frenzy, sane people, because tomorrow they will be back to telling you that you are enjoying yourself wrong.
http://www.michaelzwilliamson.com/blog/item/the-internet-is-for-trolls my take is here.
Jordan, if you want quotes of theirs, James it he guy to talk to. He’s accumulated hundreds of them.
yup that’s about the summary of it…
Good post!
I read Laura Mixon’s post on Friday and wrote this:
http://tlknighton.com/?p=6796
I agree with you about the Ferguson stuff, which annoyed the hell out of me, but mostly I focused on how they’ve been doing this stuff to us for years, but the difference is that if someone like this Requires Hate tries it on us, we yawn and move on.
After all, when you’ve been called every “-ist” name in the book enough times, it just loses it’s sting.
Fair enough.
What it has successfully done is given me even more reasons to look at the typical SJW and laugh.
Good post.
I banned another Clamps’ IP just a few days ago. That’s like ten times now.
I’d love to know how he keeps his 20+ internet aliases straight.
Clamps has associates? Scary.
Just the different voices in his head. That’s all.
And Cramps’ fish semen. Can’t forget his fish semen.
Try as I might, I’ll never be able to forget about Cramps and the fish semen.
There are those of us who have managed it. To bring up Damien’s fish semen again is like going into a public forum and announcing “You all just lost The Game. Shame about that five year streak you had going.” 😉

I’m pretty sure that at some point someone secretly switched Natalie Luhr’s [redacted] with a cactus. I have no proof of that but there is a lot of anecdotal evidence vis-a-vis the expressions on her face.
I ended up changing a bunch of security stuff and got 100+spams that I think are from Cl@mps’s “associates.” I so needed that at 0600 on Thursday.
Clamps really is the gift that keeps on giving. /eye roll/
Thanks. Glad you approved. And yeah, Clamp’s been kind of active lately.
Sarah blocked him last week as well. Not sure what she’s up to. I’ve only blocked him twice, so I need catch up. 🙂
I think Clamps has a Google Alert set up for anytime somebody mentions my name anywhere, he shows up, under some new alias and starts talking about what a shitty writer I am. The dude is mentally ill. Now he’s on Twitter too. Even in 140 characters he’s so stupidly predictable that I suspected it was him within 2 posts.
The RH crazy lady is an artist compared to Clamps. He’s as shitty at trolling as he is at writing, or life in general.
He showed up on one of the blogs discussing RH/BS: First to point out how Vox was even worse, next to complain about how folks on Sarah Hoyt’s blog were laughing at him. 😀
Of course, when he “doxed” someone, the response was…
https://twitter.com/eilatan/status/474693499376242688
So they’re praising a guy who stalks and threatens women for figuring out something that everybody else figured out months ago?
This was a few months ago, but yes.
I just posted on her twitter who it is. She said the time to tell her was 6 months ago. I said: Somebody posted a link to this to my blog today. I don’t like you, doesn’t mean I want you to end up with a stalker creep.
That’s the difference between sane people and SJWs. They wish insane stalker trolls on us. Hell, they cheer lead them. Personally, I can’t stand stalkers and spent a decade of my life teaching women how to defend themselves, but oh I forgot, I’m the rape apologist.
I think he’s got a Google Alert set up for R.K. Modena as well, since that’s when he showed up at my blog this time. (I’ve mentioned you before and no signs of him for some reason). Of course, that’s the kind of behavior one expects from such a dedicated stalker.
As for him and RH, I love pointing out that at least RH could get her stuff published. Yet another way he completely sucks at his chosen craft. 🙂
Yeah, instead of trigger warnings, they need advice:
“If reading about a certain subject or subjects causes horrible psychological reactions, seek immediate professional help.”
Mr. May:
What they are is indoctrinated. This is what many of our schools have become. Nothing more than centers of left-think indoctrination.
The scumbags that started this crap in the ’60s and ’70s warned us all that they were gonna do a Long March through our schools and institutions. We didn’t believe them. They did it. Now, in may areas, they own the children through the entire education process.
You should check out Anonymous Conservative’s blog on the minds of lefty rabbits vs conservatives. It’s some fascinating reading.
http://www.anonymousconservative.com/
I’m right there with you. I thought that maybe Larry was engaging in some poetic license. Visiting that post and reading those comments, I had to retreat to my save place and chant some mantras to prevent my triggers from overwhelming me. Those people have a different colored sky.
Apparently the troll caused a lot of trouble on boards but nobody would ban it because that’d be racist? Apparently much hand-wringing over this?
The term is “hoist by one’s own petard,” and “hoist” means “blown up” and a “petard” is a black powder demolition charge.
A petard is low-explosive device, good for moving earth and walls. Which is why it’s called a farter.
Thank you so much for getting that expression correct. It’s one of my peeves.
Speaking of Alex Dally Macfarlane, has anyone noticed her post-binary series on Tor.com has been absent for the last month? Interesting timing, that.
She’s stopped posting on Twitter. That’s at least a few days breather for the “cis peeeeooooople.
Damien G Walter of The Guardian was also a supporter of Requires hate, back when it was cool.
Funny how the Usual Suspects keep turning up, again and again.
The SJW’s have it better than Communists in a real dictatorship in that nobody’s going to kill them for deviating from the Party Line. They have it worse in that there is no coherent Party hierarchy, so they are left to figure out the Party Line as best they can from the signals of the whole group, instead of reading it in the Party papers or hearing it in broadcasts.
To invoke one of those annoying leftie cliches, Damien is on the wrong side of history. 😉
If there is a rhetorical battle you can be pretty certain which will be the losing side based upon where Damien plants his dumb ass.
Damien was in the running for dumbest man on the internet, but then I met Forest last week, so now I’m torn.
Yeah, I can’t imagine the butt hurt and frustration when an SJW runs into the worst thing in the world, someone who disagrees with them and doesn’t give a crap about their semantic games.
Coming from a group that’s denounced Charlotte’s web as being sexist FOR having strong female characters? I ought to be surprised but somehow…
Apparently in GHH-land, spiders live forever. It’s symptomatic that her main problem with Charlotte’s Web was its realism — spiders (like most arthopods) are short-lived creatures.

The comments about Ferguson were about as far as I could read through the thing as well.
I thought the really, truly disadvantaged were forced to milk bulls. ;o)
I’ve known somebody who had to ejaculate hogs for a living. I do believe that is probably the worst job in the world.
That gives new meaning to “Turkey in the Straw.”
Not even close. I just saw an episode of Mike Rowe’s ‘Dirty Jobs’ where he was milking domestic turkeys using a straw and his mouth to provide the suction. Fortunately the dinner bell rang and I didn’t have to watch all of that particular segment.
My uncle used to run a pig raising establishment. As far as I can tell, nothing to do with raising pigs qualifies as “fun.”
At the very best it’s “not unpleasant.”
30 years later he STILL enjoys a slab of ham on his sandwiches and specifically enjoys it because he’s eating pork.
The best tasting hamburger I’ve ever had was from a stringy, old, tough Brahma-Holstein cross (in other words, an unholy abomination) that ran me down and trampled me when I was 7. Because privilege. 🙂
Those burgers were seasoned with vengeance.
Vengance is the one thing better with beef than Worchestershire sauce.
I just looked at the top 100 SF kindle books, does not look to me like the books by SJW are represented very well. Seems to be full of good old fashion adventure and good verses evil books.
I went through the top 100 overall fantasy sellers at Amazon in July: 0% SJWs. Tough bounce that. Readers must be cis-racists.
those stating it’s a pseudonym are, in my experience, those clinging to the notion that obviously there has to be a white male behind it all.
Really.
I don’t know if you caught this but they still don’t actually know who this person is. Some are stating with certainty Benjanun Sriduangkaew is an alias. There may still be sub-levels to this gender-justice-asylum not yet explored. I’m guessing it’s a top Al-Queda guy in Gitmo who discovered the wonders of non-co-ed gender-fluidity.
MHN made their Editor’s Choice list for best novels of 2014. Sadly, as a Wise Latino I have no idea what Requires Hate had to say about me, but I’m betting they just LOVED ME over there. 🙂
Here’s an ugly part that seems to have slipped by:
The whole point of the Gamergate situation has been those horrible, Gamergate-ish trolls who threaten women and minorities on line.
How many of those famous death threats and insults come from SJWs like this nasty little person? For that matter, how many of them came from her, specifically? It seems she racked up quite a score of terrible behavior in various online communities…
How many reports have we seen of real life “racial threats” that turned out to be perpetrated by the one who filed the report? This is why I don’t take all the threat reports as anything other than appeals to sympathy…. of which I have none.
Keep in mind that these people aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed.
I mean, jeez, Geordie Tait is not only a complete fool who is publicly calling for the gassing of ggers he’s doubled down on it to the point that ARTHUR CHU called him out on it.
http://theralphretort.com/fail-king-geordie-tait-gives-us-laugh/
The kicker is that some of the anti-GG voices have stated, for public consumption, that they have had to pack up and leave their houses due to threats. No sane person says that for all the world to see — what you do is call the cops and the FBI and let them know that someone’s making threats on your life, THEN bug out. You’re damned right it’s an appeal to sympathy.
Before GamerGate, I was only dimly aware of what was happening to comic books and completely unaware of it happening in SFF. As an avid SFF fan I was saddened to hear of it, and I hope that one day SFF can be freed of this nonsense as well.
It seems to me SJWs have taken to picking on nerds in general in hope of winning some easy victories against people who don’t thrive in confrontations. Truly we cannot catch a break.
Luckily there are some of us nerds who thrive on confrontation. 🙂
Nerds are the hardest bastards in the world.
We have been forged by torment since grade school, tempered in the fires of rejection as teens and reach adulthood as adamantine square pegs that reshape every round hole they try to hammer us into. And we know -everything-. Never irritate a nerd.
By the way, speaking of SJWs and gender-bent angst, did you know that the greatest scandal in the entire world is the number of white men in punk rock? For your reading pleasure:

#Gamergate is on WoW forums now, SJW’s better watch out, they have no idea what true trolling is. If you haven’t made someone log off in tears vowing to never play the game again you aren’t a true troll, and I know plenty of people that pay the 15$ a month just so they can do this…grabbing popcorn and logging into the battlenet forums
I feel neglected. All I ever run into is backshooting team-killers in Mechwarrior Online.
Tell me about it, re> Blizzard and a non-coherent story. They’ve got some gems occasionally (I am the biggest nerd for everything to do with Wrath of the Lich King), but WoW is their Kitchen Sink game and they don’t really care about how much their lore resembles a plate of spaghetti.
Yeah I think with WoW they really just toss the lore more or less out the window…
On a mental humor note: SJWS versus the Zerg. Especially people who play Starcraft who know how to EMPLOY proper Zerg tactics…
*grin*
I like the lore . . . or rather, I like its potential, and said potential exists in spite of the people who created it.
Here’s the timeline if you want to take a look: https://legendsofwarcraft.wordpress.com/timeline/ It took me four tries to find something that could be internally-consistent, and I list the methodology at the bottom.
Eventually, my friends and I are going to finish a particular project and post a story, which includes a few edits for Warlords of Draenor.
ah god, does Blizzard do anything not freaking awesome?
*grin* There’s Minecraft-related Lego now.
As a mum with a son who enjoys Minecraft, we told him, ‘No, that’s why we have a server,” in reply to “Mummy, can we buy that?”
He got some Warcraft related Megabloks though, because dragons.
Yup, I’m well aware . . . and uninterested. 🙂
Also, MegaBloks? Ew. Clone bricks must die.
Heh, I prefer Legos myself, but he’s not that big a Star Wars fan. Also, he was on a big dragon kick. (Moving a bit to dinosaurs now. *grin* )
Which is why he also got Ninjago that Christmas. He still plays with the things, so that’s good.
You should see if there’s a LUG in your area (Lego Users Group). I belong to WAMALUG (Washington Metropolitan Area). I’m also active with BrickFair, which is a four-location (currently, anyway) East Coast franchise of Lego conventions.
And if you go on Bricklink, you ought to be able to find a few dinosaur Lego parts for reasonable prices. They’re out of print now, so “reasonable” might be a relative term, but you ought to be able to come up with something.
*apologetic smile* The chances of that existing in a garrison town in Australia aren’t that high, I’m afraid.
And I just realized it’s November. Oh gods. So not looking forward to the Christmas shopping season this year. I’m vaguely tempted to give the kids money and then take them shopping and turn the whole thing into a fun math lesson, but… that’s just not Christmas, y’know?
I believe there are at least four established LUGs in Australia, and I think two separate conventions and who knows how many enthusiast groups that aren’t actually LUGs (it’s an official designation, and even though the requirements aren’t strenuous they’re still something not everyone meets). But yeah, garrison towns aren’t always near the hub of happenin’. :p

I’ve had battle.net friends whining from the anti-GamerGate side. I’m debating outting myself as being one of those racist, sexist haters and seeing what happens.
I found this quote in the first part of the article Hilarious.
“Our genre has always had a soft spot for sharp-tongued souls. The person who speaks embarrassing truths has an honored—if discomfiting—place at the dinner table, in our SFF Island of Misfit Toys.”
Because when I read that I thought immediatly of Vox Day.
Yes, Vox has an honored spot at the table. Outside. In the rain.
And in the comments, NK Jemesin is a victim of this horrible RH troll. She is kindly saint, who has never harmed a fly, nor said an discouraging word to anyone…
Once, you were young and carefree.
Actually, it’s not a case in point. One would have to make a case, which I did, and then defend it, which you didn’t. I’m not on a “side,” unless something I’ve believed is wrong for everyone since I was a kid is a “side.” “Everyone” isn’t a side. You are confusing steadfast principle with a “side.”
Case in point.
There is no such thing as a “caucasian bloat” in SFF. That makes no more sense than saying there’s a black bloat in blues music. It’s not on purpose and it doesn’t mean a thing.
Lemming: Worrell’s used to getting hassle from both sides, left and right. To quote Omar Little “It’s all in the game.”
Go look at the comments, or at least “cntrl-F” and look for “VD” Apparently someone known as “Worrel” is a bad guy in this because, near as I can figure, he pointed VD to RH, and that was “evil” (note that Mixon won’t let you call RH “evil,” but here it goes unremarked).
VD was then mean to RH. So remember, despite everything RH has done, VD is worse. Probably because he was right about RH?
Actually, (I saw the tweet recently but can no longer find it) Worrad tried to sic Vox Day on RH (basically, “let’s you and her fight!”) and was told she wasn’t interesting enough to spend his time on.
Heh. The SJW sword is the most unvorpalest sword in the entire universe. Mostly, they knock themselves out with its blunt edge trying to replicate Star Wars kid tricks. Because Star Wars is cutting edge SF. Metaphorically speaking, of course: cis-cutting edge…well, it self-identifies as sharp!
Yeah, N.K. Jemisin and Mary Robinette Kowal both being listed as “victims” really tickled me to no end. They, who repeatedly attack others, are “victims”? OK, whatever.
Of course, when you live by the SJW sword, you die by the SJW sword. Any group that requires ideological purity is a group I want no part of. I prefer to have free will.
The thing that really saddens me is that John Campbell’s name is associated with this hysteria.
I’m 62. My Dad loved Science Fiction and subscribed to Astounding/Analog magazine for his whole life.
I grew up on John Campbell’s editorials. They helped make me the right wing wacko that I am today.
Campbell has to be spinning in his grave to see his proud name associated with this bunch of losers!
“This article was just Trotsky getting the ice axe to the head.”
Oh, yeah. See also Ernst Röhm, Robespierre, Lin Biao, Che Guevara (who I still think was set up by Castro)…
As the saying goes, after the Revolution, revolutionaries are superfluous.
The battle against apartheid and for civil rights in SFF continues. Sometimes there’s rocket ships ‘n’ shit. But for now, the racial imbalance must be cured even if – as John Brown said – “it rushes us into a sea of blood.”
Let’s seize the warehouse of books at Harper Collins and emancipate some contracts for our misused and marginalized.
Che was set up by the peasants he was trying to “liberate”. They got tired of being executed for not being revolutionary enough, and couldn’t sell him out fast enough to the local army and the CIA.
Wasn’t much of a loss. As a revolutionary commander, Che was great at growing a wispy little beard and not much else. See if you can find a copy of his book about his “revolution” in Africa…. all you’d need to make it perfect is a looped recording of Yakkity Sax and a laugh track.
Agreed, but I think the reason he was there in the first place was because Castro deliberately sent him out to get killed.
There Can Be Only One when it comes to the Marxist strongman gig.
*Snicker*
I always knew this day would come. I just enjoy it so much!
You’re right… up to a point. Let’s not forget she was a neo-Nazi occasionally… OCCASIONALLY… pranking other neo-Nazis, not an R. Crumb or Zap Comix.
Stalin said some truthful things too.
It’s an exhibition of power: “You have to stick to PC-ness, but I can break with the approved narrative if I feel like it.” It’s also supposed to hearten the enemies of the person getting the truthful talking-to, and thus make them liked a little by onlookers such as you. “You and I both know this, and so you’re better than the rest of the twits who don’t know; but I’m the one who came out and said it, so I’m better and you should support me.”

The day-to-day drama of being a marginalized dudebro neckbeard makes for compelling reading.
I wrote up my rebuttal on my blog and posted it and a link to it on Ms. Mixon’s post. It didn’t surprise me to find them checking my blog from the “Trash_File”
http://txfellowship.blogspot.com/2014/11/benjanun-sriduangkaew-and-social.html
Good response.
I hope that they might find my response. And think about what I wrote. If they ever bothered to truly self examine their own motivations, I would hope that they cold grow out of the childishness they are currently living in and propagating through their actions.
“Privilege sounds awesome. You guys should totally get some of it.” I was brought up to believe that every privilege carries with it corresponding and countervailing responsibility. If one neglects the responsibility, one’s title to the privilege becomes invalid. All right then, if as a White man I have Privilege, what are the corresponding responsibilities? Too, if one enacts those responsibilities, wherein is the criticism of the corresponding privilege valid?
Oops. Got my imperialists mixed up, sorry. Thanx for the correction, Mr. Kratman. I’ll put my tard hat back on.
Still, the sarcasm is there for anyone with a brain to see.
Shadowdancer: What is really hilarious is that the humorless Social Justice Weenies will have no clue just how sarcastic Kipling was being when he wrote this, shortly after his son was killed in a colonial war.
Wrong imperialist, Kris; his son was killed in the war that ended 96 years ago, today.
And wrote one of the savagest poems imaginable about his satisfaction over the death of the Kaiser, “A Death Bed”.
My high-school history textbook quoted The White Man’s Burden as if it were meant literally. It was years before I’d read enough of Kipling to reread the poem and see the sarcasm.
…AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND SJW outrage flooding here in 3…2…1…
“Responsibility” is a code word for the imposition of the white Christian hetero patriarchy on helpless victim groups.
Don’t start quoting Spiderman or you’ll just confuse them.
GGer here.
It shocked me when I heard just how many communities and hobbies got torn apart by SJW. And it was always the same routine, too.
How could this happen?
Look up Yuri Bezmenov on YouTube. Dude was a KGB agent who defected to the US and did a bunch of interviews in the 80s where he laid out what the USSR was doing to tear down America from the inside. It had several steps and he goes through how every single one of them was supposed to work. Scary stuff.
Sarah Hoyt posted last week about ESR’s 2006 essay on Gramscian damage over at And so it’s come to this… | According to Hoyt, much the same topic.
Communist playbook dating back decades. Infiltrate, marginalize the opposition, shun those who don’t fall into line, take advantage of the polite, play the victim card, run off the marginalized opposition, take over.
Haha, not just gamers, but where d’ya think most of the people like yourself fled to when their hobbies became ‘soft?’
There’s a crapton of eco-geeks and punks running around in the hashtag too, and they are absolutely NASTY to the sjws. They’re not just fighting for one lifestyle, they’re fighting for two, or three!
There’s usually a small flood of 70s punk in the wee hours every couple days. One of them got banned because he posted Cock Sparrer’s Take’Em All and it was construed as a death threat LOL.
He’s saying the feeding frenzy isn’t going to last long, not that anyone in #GG is going to capitulate.
But right now, a moment of respite as they eat their own. Once the corpses are devoured, they’ll be back at it.
Wait, what? He’s biased against Necros?! This is the 21st century! That’s disgusting! That’s… Oh. “c”. Never mind.
And it looks like we might get a fourth Riddick movie too.
Well, not new new at this point. Came out not quite a year ago. Its much more like Pitch Black in feel, but continues the story about the Necros somewhat. But none of that matters because Vin Diesel is as good as always, and Katie Sackhoff is in it.
@Jared – There’s a new Riddick movie?! That I knew nothing about?!
Just the one from last year: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1411250/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Last year was very busy for me. I don’t think I’ve seen this one. Thanks!
…You’re reminding me I need to watch the new Riddick movie. Dang it!
You know what this reminds me of? That scene in Riddick (the newest one) where he finally get past the monster in the pool.
(I would apologize for the mental image, but this is Larry’s blog, and most of us have read his books)
Anyway, he slides under it and guts it, spilling out all the innards. What does the monster do? Stop and swallow them whole.
When you’ve made Richard B. Riddick disgusted you know you’ve gone too far.
Yep. GamerGate isn’t going anywhere. My industry was filled with squishy types afraid of giving offense. SJWs truly don’t understand the fight they picked this time.
Another funny bit, all the media narrative about how GamerGate was flawed and doomed as a movement because its beginnings were questionable and some of its members were unsavory – said the democrats who don’t own slaves unironically.
Why would it be surprising? It is totally true. They will be back tomorrow, and people like me will continue mocking them. I’ve been fighting these guys for years. Them going after gamers has been like Christmas for me.
A commenter at James Nicoll’s ’80s-style beeper he calls a blog said they thought Sarah Hoyt and RH were one in the same because of the similarity of their rhetoric. I cannot get over a community of readers and writers who literally do not know how to parse the English language.
Did Sriduangkaew turn up at the Hugo ceremony? Are we certain that this identify is real?
If it turns out that she is a SWM in New Jersey, it will still be true that a whole bunch of people gave her a pass on the belief that she was punching up, but there will be an attempt to shrug this off as more bad behavior by the privileged.
I’d like to know if all the people she threatened would ever feel safe sharing a convention space with her after this.
Well, now that some of those people know who she is, the question becomes whether she will feel safe sharing a convention space with them.
After all, her side applauded her “punching up” fantasies of throwing acid on people and such, so…
Where is this piece of lunacy? Sarah is RH? Bwahahahaha. Yeah, right. Won’t her husband be surprised, not to mention their kids.
y’know, there’s a whole untapped vein of mockery here. I mean, think of all the possibilities for RH’s real ID. Justin Bieber? Snooki? Lady Gaga?
Requires Hoyt is totally plausible. Sarah would just need to be secretly writing twice as fast, able to actually pass as leftist, and be capable of restricting herself to relatively few short stories for that identity.
Can anyone tell me how often R. Hate writes about Kit Marlowe?
I know, right?!
Was reading the comments, mostly out of curiosity, and ran across this one that posits RH is Alex McFarlane.
The way they eat their own makes me shudder. Kind of in the same way one watches hamster and guinea pig mothers eat their young type of horror.
Speaking about SJWs in general, you might get a kick out of the guy I’ve got over at my blog right now. I can’t really call him a troll, because he does seem to be trying to debate. However, he just trotted out the “everything is political” line. I had to ask him out taking a leak was political, and was it because I went standing up rather than sitting down?
Seriously, what is it with these people?
They’ll eat their own and then edit each other out of their photos in a way that would make Stalin proud. LOL
So you mean we can look forward to the day that they don’t ‘exist’ any more?
Or at least pretend WE don’t exist and they’ll leave us the hell alone?
…
Yeah, wishful thinking, I know. But they’ll do that to ‘each other’ anyway.
Ok, that has to the funniest thing I’ve read for years 🙂 + 100! next Nicholl’s little circle which magically divine it has to all old white men’s fault, and yeah I’ve forcing Sarah to do these wicked things. Man, these left wing loonies have all the brains (in a bowl. for breakfast).
second funny for you Doc Monkey, the other day I had a search string hit my blog linking your name and Vox Day… they’re looking for dirt on you!
I remember back when James Nicoll had a mind and a heart, stuff like that.
He did? It’s hard to imagine that now.
The Scooby Gang removes the mask: and Sarah Hoyt was secretly a Thai Lesbian ALL ALONG!
Actually, no. Because that would mean that the SJWs actually paid enough attention to Sarah’s work to honor her with an award nomination.
@James May – BWA HA HA HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!~!!!!!!!!!!
http://james-nicoll.livejournal.com/5077746.html?thread=95145714#t95145714
Can someone PLEASE give me the link to this idiocy?
Sarah? Requires Hate?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
And she would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn’t been for James Nicholl and his SJW fans!
I’ll tell Sarah about that. She’ll be very amused. 🙂
I imagine she’ll laugh herself silly.
[…] internet fame for his Second Amendment defense after the Sandy Hook shooting, has written a sterling post about the peculiar “morality” amongst self-styled Social Justice Warriors […]
The worst part is, most of the SJWs will never realize the real source of the problem. They think they can fix a problem like Requires Hate with hashtags like #RequiresLove and everything will be better. They created this problem, and I don’t think RH will be the last or even the worst to be spawned by that toxic ideology.
Oh, you want a good laugh? Go over to my blog where the SJW tries to tell me how RH’s stuff is completely different because throwing stuff at isn’t mean or something.
You’ve become quite the troll-magnet, Tom.
Clearly you’re doing something right. 🙂
Apparently. Here’s hoping they help me sell some books while they’re at it.
Left a comment on Mixon’s blog. I’m shocked, simply shocked to report she deleted it. I’d say she was thin skinned, but I suspect she has no skin at all.
Um….. sorry….. I thought I was linking the vids below….not embedding them. Used the “share” link.
Progressive stacking.
Its a procedure.
This was in my hometown.

Saw those last two while picking up the first one.
That happens sometimes when you paint a mural of a tunnel mouth on a wall and then try and run into it.
Well, come on. Mixon’s blog is the same place where she warned someone from referring to RH as “creature” because it was dehumanizing, but “Alabama cracker” in the same comment was completely accepted because, well I guess then the racial slurs are just “punching up”.

A circuit judge using a tetsubo instead of a gavel?
Perhaps I misunderstood the Sad Puppies campaign – it seemed like there was a sense that voters were encouraged to vote in a block. I do remember some solid posts promoting, you know, actually reading all the books and stories, and that didn’t seem like a problem to me.
There was no encouragement for block-voting. There were people posting their slates, and no requirement to copy them. I certainly didn’t copy Larry’s slate, because I didn’t know what all the books were about.
Heck, my election ballot this last Tuesday was more of a block-vote than my Hugo ballot, and that one included a lot of write-ins as protests. (This year’s theme was “famous authors.” Larry wound up with the slot for a circuit judge, because hilarious.)
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, unless the enemy of my enemy don’t dance, then they ain’t no friend of mine!
The enemy of my enemy is my enemy’s enemy. No more, no less.
What exactly is my total association with Vox?
1. I recommended one of his short stories?
2. I refuse to join in the SJW approved witch hunt?
3. I won’t issue some sort of public condemnation of the man?
4. I point out that the people attacking him were vile, awful, and cruel also?
Other than that, where, in public, is this association with Vox? Seriously. I say that he’s a big boy who can fight his own battles. We share some mutual enemies? Yet somehow that makes us… What?

“Hugos aren’t biased toward a liberal cause.”
Dude, try to make your lies more believable. It’ll work better for you.
LOL, oh Poxy, Poxy, Poxy….. same old shtick. Vox is still living rent-free in your head, too.
“If someone like Larry Correia would simply STFU and get on with their career they’d have nothing to fear from the supposed ‘SJW’s.’ You can even share your political viewpoints without losing favor.”
Now you’re either delusional or a massive liar. Thanks for the laugh on a busy Monday!
Just standard concern trolling.
Free clue for those who’ve never seen one: No matter what they promise, you will never be allowed to sit at the cool kids table. You will be expected to wear a zippered gimp hood, and be properly grateful for thrown table scraps.
Just laugh at them and tell them to sod off.
If I join in condemning somebody they don’t like, then maybe, just maybe, they’ll accept me.
And, of course, whether they do or not, you would have been corrupted by betraying your own. If the SJW’s are so noble, why are they using tactics right out of the Diabolic Evil Mastermind playbook?
[Yul Brynner Voice] Let him speak, that men may know him mad. [/Yul Brynner Voice]
Nice! An excellent beating, delivered with panache. That’s why I like it here, the troll smashing is superb.
Why can’t more people in this world tell the likes of Poxy to fuck off? Its all they deserve, and so much more satisfying than the hand wringing and angsty fluttering over at Mixon and company. What a pack of whinging girls.
Is this yet another incarnation of Clamp or another dedicated Vox Day stalker?
Dedicated Vox Day stalker. Different loser than Clamps.
Not completely sure, but I don’t think he’s quite passive-aggressive enough for Cramps.
And I agree Larry has a loud mouth. Most of us are here because of it. He won’t be quiet and stand by while people blather on and distort or lie about issues that have been brought up.
If you want to call him a punk, I suggest you do it in person. And if you don’t have the courage to do that, you should STFU.
Larry, I hope you took my comment as the compliment it was intended. If not, my apologies.
Yes. I am very loud, and I have a large audience. That drives people like Pox absolutely insane.
So the people who buy Larry’s books and vote with their wallet mean less than the small clique of Hugo voters? Got it.
One of your analogies is simply wrong. Larry knows what Vox is all about. Folks who associated with Benjanun didn’t know that she was Requires Hate/Winterfox. There was deception involved and Larry certainly can’t make that claim about Vox.
If anyone’s taking up the SJW label it’s only for comedic effect. I saw that Hines has talked about the Social Justice League, but it’s completely tongue-in-cheek.
Bullshit. Now we know you’re lying.
Especially since multiple people knew who she really was, and backed her various plays.
Or, maybe Larry isn’t the one who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Jared,
No, nobody calls themselves Social Justice Warriors in any serious sense.
The AWARDS aren’t biased. It’s not the Hugo’s fault that Larry doesn’t have fans who like him enough to outvote anyone else.
I’m all for sharing political points, but not belittling individuals or groups of individuals, as this blog post so clearly does.
As long as Larry freely associates with Vox, it’s relevant.
And yet, you adopted your name from Vox.
So, just who is more pathetic? My vote doesn’t go to Larry.
I feel like someone has probably already asked this, but I feel the need to say it anyways. What the hell does Ferguson have to do with Literature?
snelson134: I wrote my response before I read yours.
You know what’s really funny? I mean, rolling on the floor laughing hysterically funny? Most of these people, maybe all of them, if you asked, would say human beings originated through a process of Darwinian evolution. Now, do you think a Darwinian evolutionary origin process might have some affect on human sexual behavior? Like for instance making the vast majority, circa 96% of the species, hardwired for heterosexuality?
The only way the future will be queer is if genetic engineering makes it that way.
Anyone who says “the future is queer” obviously doesn’t understand evolution….
Well, the original story at least was pure fiction – and a narrative. I think applying literary criticism might be the only proper way to analyze it, as a story, anyway.
That gas station probably used to carry books and magazines, before it was robbed and then burned out.
This might help. http://blip.tv/foldablehuman/s4e7-gamergate-7071206
He doesn’t seem to actually know anything about the military. And thus apparently doesn’t like it. At all.
The rest of his screed suffers similarly. Doesn’t understand what he’s talking about, and so doesn’t like it.
Is that the video that made the claim that #notyourshield people don’t exist and that picking (blood) red as a warning color is completely arbitrary?
No thanks.
That video rocks.
That is all.
Yep. Sargon of Akkad’s reply is much better:

Of course. They want it to be their monopoly.
Then you won’t mind if we start forwarding SJW racist Tweets to the Southern Poverty Law Center. You can do the same. I know who’ll win that war because I’ve seen the SPLC definition of a hate group.
Even as biased as the SPLC is, even they will be impressed by the wave of racist filth from editors, presidents of literary orgs, editors, and award nominated authors. Maybe the SPLC will even designate SJWs as a hate group. I already have.
“11. The left wants people who preach hatred to stop disguising it as a political view.”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!! You sir, are an everflowing font of humor! You’re so full of projection, you could operate a movie theater by opening your mouth. Thanks, I needed a good belly laugh!
As the left gets caught cheer leading a hatred preacher, only when the hatred preacher gets caught attacking the wrong people.
Larry,
If you find yourself in Southwest Virginia, shoot me an email. We’ll get together, have some coffee, call each other punk, talk about SF, and maybe smoke a cigar. Hell you can bring Tom Kratman over too. He lives just down the road from me. Just please, neither of you shoot me.
Pox
Larry and Tom wouldn’t waste ammo on you. Either one of them could break you in half with one hand while stirring a drink with the other.
See, that throwaway line at the end is the kind of passive-aggressive bullshit most of us here hate. You didn’t come out and say Larry would shoot you and you could play it off as sarcasm, but really, in the back of your head, you think it could be an issue.
Pathetic. If you had actually ever fired a gun or been in any kind of firearms safety course you would know this isn’t something a gun person would even think of doing. That kind of backwards-ass thinking is what perpetuates the anti-gun nuts in this country.
” in the back of your head, you think it could be an issue. ”
No, actually, he doesn’t. If he did, he wouldn’t show up here, given how easy it is to figure out where to find someone, and take the chance that he might actually succeed in p*ssing Larry the “kill-crazy gun-nut Evil Lord of Evil” off enough to actually take the time to do it.
He doesn’t believe his own BS; why should anyone else?
There is an explicit reason why “Pox” and Larry detest each other.
To anger a Conservative, tell them a lie. To anger a Progressive, tell them the truth.
THAT is why you two tap dance on each others nerves. I just hope to see Larry break out the Tetsubo and finish this cowardly little “Pox” off.
Actually it was just a joke seeing as they’re both gun advocates. I have fired a gun a more than one occasion. Where I live it’s a part of life, though it’s more about hunting than self-defense. I’ve handled both hand-guns and rifles though.
I like how classy Larry’s being right now. Is telling someone to ‘eat a bag of dicks’ is a conservative value?
For too long conservatives have played nice with a group of people who have demonstrated that they will do anything to destroy their political opposition. So in this case, direct honesty is a refreshing conservative value which is making a come back.
So really, fuck off. Your concern trolling is weak. You bore me.
I wonder if this “Pox Vay” wants to be banned so perhaps ignoring his nonsense would work better.
I only ban people when they start to bore me. I don’t think Dranklin Relano Droosevelt has done that sufficiently yet.
I wonder what SJW “creds” somebody would get for being banned by you. I doubt that they’d believe that you ban somebody for being boring. [Wink]
Well, in all these years and I don’t know how many tens of thousands of comments, I’ve only banned like 4 or 5 people. Sure, I’ve banned like 30 IP addresses now, but most of those are Andrew Marston and that psychopath from Washington who keep coming back.
No, but smacking down a troll is a universal good.
As expensive as premium .45 is, why would I waste a round when I’ve got a perfectly good baby seal club?
Fuck off, loser. I don’t get to hang out enough with people I like.
Lol. We don’t HAVE to invite Kratman.
Put Lol in there again so we know you’re funny.
Eat a bag of dicks. I don’t want to be your friend. Kratman would scrape you off his boot.
That’s assuming Kratman leaves enough of him to scrape.
Hi Larry, you mentioned that being a Thai lesbian is worth writing ten actual books. I would like to be a Famous Writer without doing the hard work of writing actual books. Can you tell me how many points I get for having a Thai aunt? (She’s not a lesbian, or if she is my uncle wasn’t aware of it, but she is indisputably pure Thai on both sides.). I also have another aunt from another Asian country, do I get any points for her?
Wins you absolutely nothing, I’m afraid. I’m Asian, female, not white, interracial marriage, and NOT LEFTIST.
Unless you’re a man-hating, hyperfeminist who spends her time bashing non-Leftists and hating white men and emasculating a white husband, cheating on him with a lesbian transsexual lover or five, and cheering about your aborted babies, you’re probably not going to get any points at all.
*Note: I wrote the second paragraph as exaggeration, but on reflection, I realized just now that it may NOT be an exaggerated requirement to ‘prove’ SJW credentials. And that’s just depressing.

You’d read stuff written by a left-hander? *SPITS* Outa here, pervert!
You had him being ableist and you let him off the hook? Duuuuuuude. You missed a golden opportunity.
Of course, no one ever slips up like that with my own disabilities, so I never get the chance.
Well, contrary to what you might see on Facebook, I don’t ALWAYS go after someone with hammer and tongs. 🙂 If there’s a hope of using reason, I tend to be reasonable. Otherwise, hey, might as well have fun.
Plus, I find it amusing to watch someone get their liberalism in a twist because I’m a straight white male who still gets to claim minority status by their own standards.
Yeah, it’s always fun to have someone find out suddenly that you can check a box or two they’re not expecting on the EEOC forms.
I’ve never understood how some people think that they’re not qualified to research a subject because they’re not X group.
Of course, I’ve never understood the problem of a white author writing about a minority group, so long as they do it well. If they do it poorly, it doesn’t really matter what they’re ethnic grouping is.
Well, considering who will be keeping me company up that creek, I’m cool with that. : )
It is kind of like that scene in Django Unchained where Kristoph Waltz tells super racist Leonardo DiCaprio that his favorite author Alexandre Dumas was black. (and holy crap, if you’ve not read the story of Dumas’ father, you are missing out. That dude was old school adventurer bad ass).
I’m sure your admiration for him is some kind of “-ist”.
Well, he was one cisgendered son of a gun. The dude was a bad ass, and all the Parisian ladies loved him. Seriously, the guy was like an Assassin’s Creed character.
OK, now I have to read about this guy. I sense a character down the road.
Crumbs.
I wonder if my aunt is worth a grant? Perhaps to write poetry (God knows I won’t get anywhere with poetry on talent).
Five years as a white male libertarian blogger would put me where?
I’ve seen Tom Kratman in person. I think we could have a pleasant conversation, or at least a civil one. But, you know, I guess not everyone’s capable of that.
Amusing: Everyone scroll up to Poxy’s first posting, then down here.
Ah yes, “Civil”. We have dismissed that claim.
+2 Paragon right there.
If Tom was aware of the kind of crap you spew on the internet at that time, you would have been verbally cut down in short order.
@Larry – also more entertaining. Hopefully for you too as well as your readers.
Maybe, maybe not. I’m willing to make conversation and discuss and debate with people I don’t agree with. Tom might be willing to also. Clearly, Larry isn’t that kind of guy. I’d have no problem meeting someone I’m in opposition to. Except Vox, but there’s more than just philosophical differences there.
I’m not willing to debate?Except, doofus, you are trying to sell that to the readers of my blog who’ve seen me debate with many different people over the years. The difference is, they didn’t show up shit talking. For people like you I go right to mockery. Saves time and energy.
I save my pleasant conversations for people who don’t show up talking shit about things they clearly don’t understand as they call me names. For people like you I get right down to where we are going to end up inevitably anyway. I don’t do the frenemies game. This isn’t high school.
And I’m guessing you don’t know shit about Tom Kratman.
He’s such a precious bundle of passive-aggressive whimpers. Can we keep him?
I called you names? When was that? The punk thing? I didn’t know you had such thin skin. If you dish it out you better be ready to take it, Monster Hunter.
Pox Vay: Larry, you’re a punk. (A MOMENT LATER) Can we be friends?
Larry: 🙄
Pox: Why are you so thin-skinned and immature?
Reminds me of this script some right-wing-nut posted on the Internet:
Between the Pox and Clamps you’ve got quite a plague of trolls going on, Larry.
Yeah, it is almost like my first impression of Pox was so accurate that I wrote it a year before we met! 😀
Yes, Pox, you are super nuanced. I should like totally take a whole bunch of time engaging you on the finer points of all that bullshit you wrote. Oh, wait, no. I won’t. You are a dumb ass who showed up spouting dumbassery, and now I should respect you? Go fuck yourself in whatever your acceptable post binary gender manner is.
So, Super Troll…let me get this straight.
You come onto his blog and call him a “loudmouth punk”, which was clearly a case of name calling, then get pissed when he responds in kind? Really?
Dude, you really suck at this.
Three Tweets for the Dworkin-Queens under their PhDs,
Seven for the cis-het Dwarf-women in their blogs of banhammers,
Nine for Allied Cis-Men doomed to die,
One for the Marginalized Derp Turnip on her Derp throne

One Tweet to school them all, One Tweet to squee them,
One Tweet to shame them all and in the darkness libel them
In the Land of Patriarchy where the Derps lie.
Scansion’s a bit off, but I like it anyway.
Maybe someone can clarify a point for me. When an old, straight (presumably), white woman like Laura Mixon posts something like this, complete with semi-meaningless graphs and charts, does that count as “whitesplaining”, “oldsplaining”, or “straightsplaining”?
Yes to all three.
No, because she is explaining the correct things. If she was explaining incorrect things, like math, logic, economics, or reality, then that would be bad.
That being said, I still think there’s value in showing that those claiming to retaliate are actually indiscriminate or even backstabbing.
Yeah, but, it’s enough to say “by the way, she’s attacking literally everyone, even those she’s professed to speak for” and move on, versus spending several pages and five or six graphics on “she’s targeting MUH MINORITIES”.
They can’t be outraged about the fact RH is hateful and violent. They have to be outraged about RH being hateful and violent to the wrong people.
I think romance readers run nearly 100% female, but the writers are a diverse (sorry) lot. Fern Michaels, who’s been a big name in romance forever, is a man. He may even be white; I’ve never seen his picture. (He says his wife helps him with the sex scenes so they won’t end up sounding too masculine.). As far as I know, romance readers have never objected to Mr. Fern. Readers of other genres, so far as I know, don’t carry on like this either. I wonder what makes SF fans so cranky?
Ever notice how they never pie-chart Vet’s Hospitals? Gee, wonder why?
I was wondering about the children’s literature thing. That seemed a bit fishy.
That being said, I still think there’s value in showing that those claiming to retaliate are actually indiscriminate or even backstabbing.
There’s a very good reason it seems fishy. Using that data makes no sense at all. There might be a reason she chose to use that, but it looks like she just grabbed whatever she could.
Ah… like “duckspeak”, then.

What a moron.
I’m guessing Damien’s never actually read the Foundation series.
Well, twitter is for retards. Poor fella can’t process more than 140 characters at a time, how sharp can he be?
Wonder if he’s ever gonna get that book written?
There’s lots of plot and there’s . . . a few characters. Some are even memorable.
And better than anything Damien (hasn’t) written.
While it may be tempting to assume everything Damien says is completely wrong, that would require a greater genius than he possesses. He’s probably right about the characters needing to be more interesting. They weren’t Asimov’s strong suit and that is likely a problem for TV.
It has been a long time, but I remember the conversations being interesting because they were talking about interesting things, not because the characters were memorable.
I’m not complaining that I didn’t enjoy the books, but rather that characters weren’t a big part of the appeal.
The only Asimov I’ve read in the last 10 years is iRobot and I recall some of those characters being nearly indistinguishable.
It’s Damien. What do you expect?
Hey, dumbass Pox Vay just told on me on Twitter to Scalzi and Damien Walter. What a dipshit.
Yes, he sure did show up looking to have a nuanced debate of the issues. 😀
Hey, dumbass Pox Vay just told on me on Twitter to Scalzi and Damien Walter.
Oooh!!! You’re in trouble now! You won’t be able to go on the class trip! 😀
The really creepy part is how he went from full attack mode to conciliatory man-flirting once you’d taken him down twice.
Damien may have competition!
My most sincere apologies.
Okay, now I’m imagining Damien surviving without any form of electric based technology. This pleases me.
You don’t need to nuke the planet, my friend. Just a nice little EM shockwave, localized, to where these guys are.
Also, holy crap the shiver that went up my spine on reading ‘conciliatory man-flirting.’
Oh, that’s just what the world needs. I do not want to have to nuke my own planet from orbit, just to be sure, thank you very much.
I thought they might find it of interest. Especially since they (especially) Walter have been targeted by you in the past.
Well, Tom, if you recall my previous guess at the title of his book, he’s clearly still doing *ahem* research.
Considering he’s still in Thailand, I’m inclined to agree with you.
He may be doing research for a few more years at this rate.
I thought they might find it of interest.
*cou-BULLSH-gh*
*ahem*
Sorry, I have allergies.
Maybe it’s an annual stipend?
Isn’t he getting some kind of government “art grant” for “writing” his “novel”?
That would explain why it’s taking a while, eh?
Yeah, but how much money can you get from a grant to justify spending almost five freaking years writing a single freaking book?
I mean, that grant must be some serious cash.
Five years? Jeez, I’m still a completely unpublished author and I’ll have written three novels in just over two years by the end of this month. Granted, two of those will _never_ see the light of day, but by gosh the third will. He’s like a walking example of why you write a book, edit it, then immediately move on to the next one rather than beat the dead horse. And add to that the fact that a) his day job is as a paid writer, and b) he got a grant specifically to write a book.
I’m on four months on my current book and it’s pissing me off because it should be done and revised at least once, if not to the editor by now.
Yes… I totally targeted Walter after he fabricated quotes from me in order to portray me as a sexist, racist, homophobe, in his national newspaper column. After I targeted him with my cismale hatemongery, he took to Twitter to find actual sexist, racist, or homophobic quotes from me and failed. I’m such a bully. Especially that time I got him to admit to lying and fabricating quotes about my publisher too.
So mean. Maybe you can join Damien on his next “meditation holiday” and help him finish that book he’s been working on for 4 years.
Actually, it’s closer to five years at this point.
Opposite day and anti-time day. None of us had any idea who Damien “writing a book” Walter” was until he went of his way to attack Larry and lie about him.
I get it. It’s opposite day.
It must be, since he completely ignores the outright lies Damien Walter spews.
What? He doesn’t think you’ve kicked their asses enough this year?
Bwahahaha…..
Cannibal feeding frenzy? THIS just popped up!
MailOnline Editor-at-Large Piers Morgan isn’t happy that he’s being labeled a “racist” by online “trolls” following his latest opinion piece on the “n-word.”
Loose one little midterm election and its Game Over!
Of the two us, Larry, you’ve been the immature one not willing to debate. Certainly the one talking more shit. Grow up a little bit, son.
Really?
REALLY?
I know I’m late to this game and you won’t see this…but…this is just sad.
Btw…. you never DID bring up a topic for debate.
Perhaps I’m just not mature and evolved enough, but it just never occurs to me to create a blog with the sole purpose of hating on someone, no matter how vile I believe them to be. Pox definitely appears to have some issues. Desperate for acceptance by those who have no interest in accepting him (her? it? shim? I’m so confused). Perhaps Pox has not found a way to be happy IRL so must spread unhappiness via keyboard. Sad.
Translation: “Mommy, he hit me back!!!”
Great reality filter you have there. Does it come in black?
Go reread your first post here, dumbass.
You started off with shit talking and it’s just gone downhill since then.
Your attempt at debate got swatted down very quickly because it was a bunch of tired bullshit. Hell you got numbered bullet points. Since then you’ve posted a bunch of times about how nuanced you are. Got anything else or should I just keep calling you names?
@Joel: It was rather inevitable they meet, since they have a mutual hatred for Vox Day. I’m sure that they’ll start their beautiful bromance of shared hatreds soon enough, and the social plague will start ranting about what people and work to hate…
If only that were enough to get them to leave us alone so we wouldn’t have to suffer their presence and persistent inanity, but alas, that respite will likely not last long.
Get this straight. Being hurt and/or offended by someone insulting you is not the same thing as not giving them further opportunities to do so in the future or responding in kind.
You could call us names till the cows came home and we won’t give give a crap, but that doesn’t mean we’re just going to let you keep doing it.
Interesting narrative you’ve spun. What I’ve seen is you overreacting to a slightly inflammatory comment. Then, when confronted with someone who’s actually willing to talk the issues, you quickly degraded to name-calling.
Yeah, but that’s only because you keep banning Cramps.
The troll tried to bring him into the “fight” as well. 😕
I’m not so sure he did, but they definitely seem like kindred spirits. 🙂
There’s been a meeting of plagues on P’s blog: https://archive.today/8Q53A
Went there, read it, and see that Cramps neglected to mention why Larry calls him a creepy stalker.
Spoiler alert (just for Cramps): It’s not because he keeps showing up to bother Larry, but how he follows Shadowdancer all over the internet, regardless of what she’s doing there, and tries to attack her there. You know, a “woman of color” and all that?
But hey, if he dislikes Larry, I guess all is well.
ROFL! Pox and Clamps, they deserve each other. Oh Poxy, if you’re reading this, you might want to google your new friend Marston there. We’re really not arbitrarily throwing around the “creepy stalker” label. But you probably won’t, since you’re too arrogant and stupid.
These silly prog trolls are the gift that keeps on giving!
Yeah, I like how I’m the bad guy because I refuse to join in on their mandated witch hunt for Vox Day, but they’ll freely ally with stalker of Asian women, Andrew Marston, because apparently he only threatens and menaces the *right* kind of women.
Which just goes back to the original article. They’re a bunch of dishonest hypocrites who will engage in any tactic against their foes, no matter how sleazy, and the second their tactics are used against them, they turn into a bunch of cry baby victims.
Hush, child.
Larry Correia, man of integrity.
Wow. The butthurt is strong in this one.
Gee Poxie if you keep digging that hole it’ll either collapse on you or you’ll hit bedrock. Ooooooh wait!!!! SJW’s can’t stop digging cause that would mean that they (A) are wrong and (B) have to admit to mistakes.
What he thinks he’s hoping for is to release the Larryog.
Take a look at that link to Larry with the Tetsubo elsewhere in the thread. Change Tetsubo into Flaming Two-Handed Sword.
Poxy better be careful what he wishes for…..
The way this one’s digging, I suspect he’ll hit the magma layer or release a Balrog or something.
