Bluesky Post (this was also posted on twitter)

I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.

Sounds like you need to hang out on better parts of the internet.

Uh huh, uh huh.

Meanwhile, here on earth, Matt Furie's own lawyer brought up the fact that, on Steam, Pepe emotes were being used "in connection with hateful speech."

Tell me something, has that changed, or is it possible, just maybe, that the Steam Community is one of those places I was referring to?

So now tell me this, when you claim that it's ridiculous to treat Pepe use as a sign of hate on Steam Community, are you ignoring the active, proven and admitted use alongside hate speech, or are you trying to downplay it?

Matt Furie protecting his copyright as part of the re-co opt efforts? That doesn't conflict with what I have said.

Unlike the swastika, someone owns the copyright and can make moves to reclaim it.

I love it when people respond to exactly one line and ignore the rest of my comment. Totally not a bad faith argument at all. Totally not exactly the same shit Reddit bigots always did.

Gish gallops don't work online. I only responded to the part with substance. The rest is subjective to personal perspective.

People are shitty online? Yeah, so shit. May want to focus on those private facebook groups or twitter first. Steam users can't maintain a boycott, but lets focus on that while facebook and twitter were involved with January 6th.

So it's no longer "Pepe isn't used by extremists on Steam," it's now "Pepe being used by extremists on Steam doesn't matter," huh?

Goalpost status: moved.

How does that saying go?

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
