How rich do you think she was? She wasn't a billionaire. The millions she put into that charity were not as much of a crumb to her as Taylor Swift's $2 million donation to it.

Dolly Parton was not a billionaire.

Yes, your argument was cowardly since you are actively avoiding acknowledging what specific perspective you're playing defense for.

There's no good reason to hold strong principles vaguely except obfuscation.

Go ahead and explain why you think far right, xenophobic, and racist perspectives need to be given a platform.

If you can't complain on the internet then there's nothing to say? Interesting perspective.

I was just thinking the same. I remember when she was everywhere.

The stupidity is also bigger.

Everything's bigger in Texas, including the raging stupidity and lack of respect.

At 5 feet deep you wouldn't hit your head on the bottom

Yes, you absolutely would if you dove headfirst into it. That's why swimming pools say no diving when they're less than 8 ft. deep.

You can also definitely break your neck diving headfirst into mud.

It was confirmed in Fire and Fury by Wolff that GamerGate was indeed Steve Bannon's POC of MAGA.

His news outlet Breitbart and working partner Milo Yannopolis were the main instigators of it.

Reviews and editorials were never described as "gaming journalism" before GamerGate. The fact that Gamergate successfully convinced everyone that editorials and reviews can be called "journalism", even people who opposed Gamergate, was their biggest victory.

GamerGate was a Steve Bannon POC for MAGA and it wasted no time in setting the stage for Lügenpresse by inappropriately using the term to describe opinion pieces they knew they could get angry young men to get outraged over to start getting people used to the idea of demeaning journalism as a whole. "MSM" was just the MAGA version of "gaming journalism", but more refined since they realized with their POC that demeaning all "journalism" meant that any that they tried to spin up never got any traction because it was also "journalism".

That was a stupid comparison. That OP didn't watch Big Bang Theory in the first place to know that it appealed to a completely different sort of person than DCC.

If anything, DCC is like Ready Player One if it was not written by a complete and utter cringelord neckbeard in love with 80s media, and actually had some real things to say about sociopolitics.
