Compared to absolutely every other Hillary stumble/scandal/screwup of the campaign that I'm likely to panic about, I'm taking the Deplorables thing as almost a non-thing. This is not logical.

I realized it's Gamergate. I'm too used to the alt-right crap. I know the lingo, I know the memes, I know their typical tactics, fucking Pepe, I know their preferred language and attack methods. It's not at all new to me for these people to be flagged as all-around miserable human beings. No irony needed, no exaggerations, it's simply a factual statement to me.

The average voter has no freaking clue how awful that segment of the Trump base is. Like nooooooo clue. Hell, I'd say even the more casual poster or lurker here doesn't know how deep this goes. Even if you sat them down to explain it and showed them all the receipts, they'd never think there could be people that downright terrible floating around that are allowed to vote. The more it gets exposed, the more it'll click with people. One of the most predictable tendencies of the alt-right is for it make complete fools of themselves, and, lo and behold, they're already making a lovely effort of that. Even better, they're proud of themselves! The reaction on Reddit was proof--On Sunday the dominant discussion was Hillary's health and not the thing she said that, one would think, would infuriate them all.

So explaining this concept to my parents and some friends have them confused. They're all in a panic. The media lacks the perspective, too. People say her statement was too broad or a gaffe, but it was quite careful. Even the non-apology clarification was that she didn't mean half; She still entirely meant what she said at its core. Even if Hillary herself and the campaign don't understand it, they said the absolute perfect thing. It just needs a bit more time to play out. Even without her campaigning for a few days it's already started to turn around.

Yup. GAF actually has some of the most rational discussions and views of politics I have seen anywhere. In general we are close to right on most things. Typically if people get too far off the facts they get called out for it, whether they are shilling too hard or not.

I mean come on people. Pepe specifically was shouted at Clinton during her alt-right speech for a reason.

[benjipwns]

Sometimes you get the impression that certain GAFers would be carving headphones out of trees and lighting flares on the runway to signal for John Frum to return.

[VomKriege]

They're literally fighting shadows in that thread. "But look, here's Pepe used by a racist !" and here is 100.000 variations of that meme without any political meaning. Yes obviously that meme is used in that image discussed as a nod to Trump viral supporters, which includes many fuckwits... but maybe instead of trying to explain to our parents what the fuck "Pepe la grenouille" is, that article used on Clinton official website should actually spend more time discussing Alex Jones. There's more than enough here to illustrate the type of shit peddlers Trumps panders to.

The septum ring phenomenon has been disturbing me for months now and I'm 100% CAC.

It must be a black thing. I went to pretty much all white/Asian high school and college and never associated septum rings with lesbionical angry feminists. Although absolutely everyone was some sort of feminist in Santa Cruz.

I feel like a lot of the black dudes who are angry at black girls for dating white men are "nice guys". I'm not saying there's definitely no bias or trend now, but seriously, just expand your dating pool.

Yeah but how would he know to approach Libyan terrorists? These terrorists in particular? The question is how he would have such connections/associations.

But did he put out an ad in the paper?
The idea is, is it shady that he'd know who to go to in the first place?

It makes you wonder what kind of channels that the Doc went through in 1984-5 to put the word out there that he is a scientist who is interested in working with nuclear fission. How would a person like that promote himself to the right people without stirring suspicion from government agencies?

I do think part of it has to do with a lot of European countries not familiar with the prowess of African American athletes due to their dominance of American centric sports instead of Eurocentric ones like Tennis and Gymnastics, so there's an underlying belief that Serena and Simone can't be as dominant without illegal substances aiding them.

[benjipwns]

GAFers get all up in a huff about DA FEMINISTS and pretend to be outraged about things to show their distaste. It's cute.

Back-pats, fist-bumps, and bro-fives all around for passive aggressive resistance to the evil feminist agenda.

The somewhat overwrought and dramatic analysis aside, if what we know is accurate (e.g. that she had no choice in the matter and he simply grabbed her and kissed her and this is something he was doing to multiple women) this seems like pretty unambiguous sexual assault. I'm honestly surprised after the last topic of "Women should deal with what happens to them in public"-GAF that we'd have people acting like being grabbed and kissed against one's will is not a problem. I suppose it puts some of the attitudes in that thread in perspective, however.

You don't think the term 'stomach turning' is a little bit hyperbolic?

I would find it stomach turning if some man grabbed me and kissed me without my wanting it, yes.

That was actually an accidental multi-quote, and I apologize. That said, the reason I'm harping on faux-outrage is because it's an incredibly grating, no-content way of expressing disagreement or disbelief without making an actual argument.

If someone wants to say that all feminists are dummies, that this shouldn't be considered sexual assault, that she was asking for it, etc. they should say that.

Ah, the good 'ol days on GAF.
