If you ever think for an instant that misogyny in gaming is new, remember that there was an uproar when the Queen was added to chess in Europe because she was a "powerful female figure".

This is excellent. They all repeat the same lines. It's important to challenge this when we see it.

Within around a minute I was followed by 500+ bots from @weedis.life and then within another minute was unfollowed by all of them. Essentially a denial-of-service attack. Haven't seen or heard of that before.

Frank Zappa’s ‘Jazz From Hell’ (1986) is the only entirely instrumental album that has been sold with the ‘Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics’ sticker on it.

The man who designs BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) maps is named Bart.

I'm gonna rewrite my heads up, because David Bond found the last one so I deleted it. Which basically proves the warning correct: fash are now avoiding blocks by making accounts on open reg instances, searching leftist buzzwords, and compiling lists. That's literally exactly how he found me, through my bait.
This means if your account federates with any open reg instances, you may want to take some precautions. Lock your account, and consider not calling yourself antifa, communist, anarchist, etc, if you -don't- want to feild the chuds.
If you -do- want to send a big bright beacon of antifascism, go ahead and put as many buzzwords in your handle and profile as you can (ACAB, trans, Socialism) so that you can direct the attention towards yourself instead of those who wish not be seen.
Remember kids, bash the fash.
