Hello freak bitches. Based on their characterization of it. I just. I'm sorry go ahead. No. Well what is, how would they define you as being alt right? What would they say that you have alt right characteristics? You can see these message boards for instance. A lot of people were very supportive on Reddit and all these kind of places that are a little more known for free thought but there's this one video game message board in particular that is just insane. And there was 125 page or so thread about me. 20 posts or I didn't think it might even be 50 posts a page. And I was reading it and it hurt some of it. Because people are like, first of all people are telling me I said things I never said. Like what? People like Collins, you know against, you know his name is no taxation. He doesn't even believe that taxes should exist. I often talk about how I really like Ayn Rand and I really like Atlas Shrugged but I don't consider myself an objectivist. I don't believe that selfishness is necessarily a virtue. I just think she's interesting and I think some of her ideas are interesting. You know God forbid I exist somewhere in the gray area. Right. But they're like Collins an objectivist and he's selfish and blah blah blah. And like Collins a Nazi and he's racist. I think the term a lot of the news was soft racist or soft bigot. Soft racist. Being like that he doesn't intentionally or actually overtly say anything but supports causes that are racist or sexist. These are the kind of character assassinations that were going on. Basically people with on bulletin boards with yarn and maps. That's how I picture them. Like trying to make continuous connections. And it's like these things aren't even things I feel and things that I said or being taken out of context. I often use the in video games one of the big things is like you know there's a need for diverse cast diverse protagonists and stuff like that. And I often use the case that I used to use the saying I don't believe in diversity for diversity sake. I believe that an artist should tell his story. So if an artist a writer of a game wants to have an all white cast and that's what he thinks serves his story I don't think that makes him a racist. If he wants to have an all Asian cast I don't think that makes him a racist either. I think that's what he wants to do. And people took that out of context and were calling me a racist and a bigot and all these kinds of things. And it's it's it's hurtful because there's no one there. No one's defending me. You know I can't I can't defend myself because I'll just make it worse. So it was kind of like this hapless kind of situation that I found myself in and I tried to make the best of it. I had a debate once about that with a friend who was an Asian actor and he was talking about the lack of roles for Asians in Hollywood and what a massive issue is. And you know that he wanted to raise awareness of it. I was like man but this is we're talking about a creative venture. You're talking about somebody writing a story. Like I think the the correct way to go about it is to try to figure out how to get your own project through or someone else who feels very strongly about this trying to get their own project through. But the right way is not for someone to have to compromise their creative vision in order to encompass the full spectrum of races in whatever story they're writing. Like it's a creative story. Like if you want to write a story about a small town in Maine like Stephen King has done so often you shouldn't have to have 10 percent Asians in that story. I mean you just that's not what creativity is about. It's about there there are places and people and that way you're going to run into all black folks or or are you going to run into all Norwegian people. I mean those stories are just as valid as a story that's fully diverse. You know I don't think that that necessarily makes anything better. And I also think that when you're talking about that you're so you're sort of talking about it like there should be a quota you know and like Hollywood should recognize the need for these people to be in films and movies and it's just you you're you're making this politically correct sort of you're passing these these judgments on this thing that is all about imagination. I mean Hollywood essentially like what when you're making a television show or you're making a movie it's really about an imagination. It's about imagination and vision and having that vision being entertaining for people and if you like only want to write about the people that you were in college with that you were that you shared a dorm room with you should be out allowed to and if there's a disproportionate amount of people that are doing that that happen to be white males that you know we should probably try to figure out why but the idea that you have to force people to hire Asian folks or black folks or women or what that's that seems so crazy to me. That's the story right and to give you a little glimpse to give you some context with what might be going on in gaming there was this very popular game series called The Witcher which is made by a Polish developer called CD Project there in Warsaw and it's based on the fusion of like Polish kind of identity with this famous book series that's based on like kind of Polish or you know like kind of the Lord of the Rings but in Eastern Europe and one guy's cartoon character that works at this website called Polygon in his review was talking about how there were no there was no diversity there and and everyone's like dude it's Poland and it's based on Poland of your like and it's about dragons and like goblins and there's some white guys and this is like what you're upset about you know and there's another guy making and I think he's Slovakian I don't want to somewhere in Eastern Europe making a game called Kingdom Come Deliverance and it's supposed to be a very realistic look at something like the 14th or 15th century in that area and again they're complaining there's no diversity there's no diversity and he's like there was no black people in this area in 1500 I'm trying to make a game that's true to the area does that doesn't make him a racist and and these are the kinds of this is just the kind of bullshit that's what but you see this in movies you see this TV shows it's not exclusive to gaming but it's but it's what I've had to deal with for a long time and I'm just so it's the root of it though what's causing it like why why do people feel like they have to put a black person in a game about Poland in the 1500s or whatever it was I think I mean I don't thankfully the people that make the games don't care you know like they're they're like we're gonna make our game right the people that are complaining about it they're virtue say virtue signaling which is not even a term I even knew what it meant until a few weeks ago like I heard people throw that term around I didn't quite know what I'm I looked at I looked into it it's you know you know what it is it's it's the idea that they you know these virtuous people it's the same people that attack me for the joke I have to be virtuous and show that I am against sexism so I have to attack the man you know I have to do all these kinds of things in this need you know but what they're saying when they when they when they're saying we have to have black people in this game in Eastern Europe in the 1500s what they're saying what they're really saying is you're a racist yeah that's that's the subtext and it goes back to this character assassination in this need to destroy
