well boys, finally got blocked on sight for the first time in my life lol. all i did was drop in a thread to say "both KV and ISWV have had people who have gone overboard", and that man was apparently rapid fire triggered.
it strikes me that social media, specifically twitter is a totally indispensable component of these witch hunts nowadays. they literally could not and would not happen without it. it's the best way to brigade huge numbers of groupthinkers based on very clipped, under-specific statements and engage them in all-out turd flinging armageddon. of course many of us have said inflammatory things online. but twitter takes it to a whole new level, and its simultaneous idiocy as well as widespread visibility makes it a PR nightmare for whoever ends up on the receiving end of the shitstick, whether or not the attack is justified. it just so happens it's especially useful when you don't have evidence, or the evidence is a little lacking, because you don't need any of that. it's never been easier to jumpstart this process as long as you have a remotely sizeable level of clout in a given community, as the cunt sisters do, and a petty bone to pick.
it bothers me most because any single one of these cases could be justified, but the sheer accessibility of this hideous power automatically means someone--probably many people--would use it for evil eventually. to not recognize that fact is the kind of naivete, willful or not, that KVers must have in order to take their position, completely regardless of whether or not vic actually assaulted anyone. because it can almost be guaranteed that nearly every one of these KVers are the ones believing every accusation aired out on twitter and other platforms simply by virtue that they are alleged.
so as i said, i think members of both sides have gone a bit too far at times throughout this whole goat rodeo, but it takes a special kind of head-in-the-sand KV type to balk at the very notion that allegations posed on social media could be false, or made in bad faith. it's why any reasonable third party observer would see KV as more insane, and of course i say that with full bias. but good christ, these people are dumb.
