LSF leaked and infected all the other subs at once. It was so obviously a planned brigade just like the Trash Taste one.

Fuckers lost their shit over fake and imaginary dog abuse when they didn’t feel bad for babies being murdered in a genocide for the last 24 months.

    i feel the same way, i try to avoid this type of braindead drama cuz it always makes me lose faith in humanity lol, but it’s genuinely kinda scary how quickly this clearly made up grievance went viral

    fucking penguinz0 (lmao) fell for the smear, hell there was even a meme about it on the fucking silksong subreddit with thousands of upvotes. either this shit is being botted into oblivion or critical thinking is truly dead. unfortunately i think it’s both

      I cannot believe that it happened organically and that it’s not amplified by bots. Makes me cautious because I wonder what bandwagons I’ve been on that are manufactured. There’s been all sorts of outrage since before Hasan called Hila a valid military target because she wanted to spice up her career with torturing people or whatever the context and actual words were.

      I don’t believe people on Twitter are real. I don’t believe people on Reddit are real. I need to never look at them again in my life

      It even bled into my peaceful VTuber feed. Now, there’s obviously a lot of reactionary fans, but I have my feed carefully curated so it’s basically just the VTubers themselves and the cool queer side of the fanbase. But a really prominent VTuber (who I suspect has pretty milquetoast succdem politics) made a tweet condemning it on their non-corporate account and it threw me for a loop. Thankfully, it seems that they realized that they had gone off half-cocked and deleted the tweet, but it was pretty surreal.

      I think the fact that it involves a dog short-circuits people’s critical thinking, and it also gets people who aren’t very politically aware on-board who normally wouldn’t wade into a political argument (and obviously no normal person is gonna know WTF “Destiny brigade on LivestreamFail” means, let alone be aware of it). Like, there is no chance in hell a corporate VTuber would directly tweet about Palestine, alt account or not, but this one unknowingly participated in a proxy war intended to discredit a prominent pro-Palestine voice.

      There was one in the Deadlock subreddit, and it was clearly being astroturfed. The amount of upvotes and pre-prepared link dumps to LSF/lonerbox/other Destiny corners of the internet that immediately filled the thread were not natural.
