QuoteLet's reveal this for what it is: a weaponized alt-right/GamerGate meme. Its origins are me cracking a joke at the game throwing some half-naked women at me, nothing more. What it's been used for, and what its passive mention here makes clear, is a blatant, bad faith attempt to undermine my credibility. Maybe it's possible you don't know that, and I'll try to grant the benefit of the doubt.

Has he ever commented on the rape time ass time picsGod dammit Nate now would've been the perfect time to post them in reply to that post
Y'alls obsession with a few pictures from Klepek's past is desperate but also kind of endearing.

Everybody did that past the age of 14 right?

Y'all have to know that it's not going to work by this point though right? No one ACTUALLY cares about the pictures, not because they're all in on a performative wokeness but because Patrick doesn't do stupid shit like that anymore. So the continued obsession feels increasingly desperate and disingenuous and undercuts any actual criticism you might have of Patrick's vapid writing./carepost Who actually cares ugghh
Patrick summoning all the burner accounts.
The mods deleted the pictures
I always laugh when people bring up those old posts of Patrick's as if they're at all reflective of who he is now. It's almost like people say stupid shit when they're young and change over time. Wow, what a wild concept.

In all seriousness, the podcast that Patrick and Rob did after the initial smear campaign was one of the best examples of reflecting on past mistakes, owning up to them, and demonstrating maturity and how people change over time.

"posted in bad faith and against someone on the correct side" is what you meant
I don't think he's really that ashamed because the pictures are pretty banal and the ResetERA mods delete the pictures because they're obviously posted in bad faith and they're posted in bad faith because no one actually cares about banal pictures from Patrick's youth except for people who fantasize about some sort of retribution against Patrick for imagined crimes against Gamers (tm)
