I didn't realize gootecks was a maga pos. Then again my primary exposure to him is a few episodes of excellent adventures with Mike Ross.

Because all it takes is for the alt-right to adopt any meme or iconography and then everyone else has to walk on eggshells trying to figure out if a random Twitch user using this:

is some gamergate terrorist ready to be the next school shooter. They're not. I understand where you're coming from, but this is not the same as Gootenks. If the creator of Pepe was a Gamergate shitheel like Notch than I'd agree on not using it. Most of the Pepe alt-right images are linked with nazi imagery and Pepe doing violent acts. Pepe has been tarnished, but allowing them to win is the problem. You denounce those individuals for doing so and hopefully, everyone else won't attempt to use Pepe imagery in the same way.

If you haven't seen the documentary on it I recommend that you give it a watch. Probably won't change your mind, but it did for me.
This. I really HATE ERA's defeatist attitude when it comes to stuff like this. Fuck them, don't let alt right fucks steal everything from us.

How about Era enables animated avatars and make it CatJAM.

Era should absolutely allow GIFs as avatars. If they're worried about GIFs that are too annoying or that can cause seizures, they could require a moderator to approve any GIF avatar before they go online or something.

A name/avatar outside of the Twitch realm would be pretty cool seeing as they attract absolute shitheads even on leftist streams (pogchamp was removed, let's fucking spam every other Gootecks emoteβ€” looking at your chat Hasan.)

I've also been wondering why he never changed his avatar.

Guess he's still a fan.
