Message: <blockquote data-quote="mythago" data-source="post: 6186274" data-attributes="member: 3019">What's baffling me about this controversy is the sheer level of doublethink generated by fanlove of PA. Rape jokes are OK because free speech, but if you say it's crummy to poke at rape victims, that's not free speech and you should STFU. It's perfectly OK for Krahulik to behave badly because people are being mean to him and it hurts his feelings, but people who think PA behaved badly need to stop being so gosh-darn sensitive and grow a thicker skin and let's not talk about whether they are getting rape and death threats from PA fanbois. If Krahulik drags the Dickwolves thing up again and again - three years after the initial tempest - that's totes OK, but if anyone criticizes him, Great Chukulteh on a bicycle can't you people let it drop already?! Bullying is bad, unless it's done by a massively powerful guy with an enormous web platform whose comic we adore?Really?Would so many people be passionately defending this dude if he were some no-name, anti-geek blogger making a webcomic dedicated to showing how games are stupid and the people who play them are losers? If the 'dickwolves' joke and the T-shirts were produced to make some kind of point about how gamers are all pro-rape knuckledraggers? I doubt it.Also, seriously, when the people who produce Cards Against Humanity fercryinoutloud <a href="http://maxistentialist.tumblr.com/post/61535552966/as-you-may-have-surmised-from-the-instagrams-and" target="_blank">think one is behaving badly</a>, that is what we used to call "check yourself before you wreck yourself".</blockquote>
