You get why people who experience bigotry on a daily basis would engage in catharsis online though, right?

Sonicfox: "Fuck TERFS" (see threadmarks)
- Thread starter Professor Beef
- Start date
Man, when it came to something trans-related blowing up on twitter, of course Graham Shitlord is gonna pop his empty head in.
Helen Lewis not doing her research and then doubling down lol

Privilege, purity and gatekeeping. They claim that they want to help break the system but end up creating their own criteria on who deserves help. When feminism started, there were many white feminists who didn't care about women of colour either.
She's famous for that, she's one of those people that push conservative ideas but say they are centre left. I really do not like her.
I think this should perhaps be far more prominent in the OP, it's kind of burying the lede where it's now. It might be better to put it right at the start, embedding the tweet directly rather than quoting it, so that the relevant information is fully visible without having to click on the quote.
You know people don't like to read; the easiest you make it for them to read the relevant facts, the better. :D
Oh god, I'm dying. I saw an inane bullshit tweet conflating this with g*mergate and came to post it, but only after hitting Preview on the post did I notice the username and realize it's from Linehan, because of course it is. What a jagoff. Edit: I'm not even going to post it.
Same. I just do not enjoy anything HP related any more (especially after the whole Fantastic Beasts 2 shit...)
Seriously, fuck TERFs.
Wait she is ? Sh*t that's sucks, I just looked it up, I somehow missed it :(
I'll admit, I'm a bit lazy and quick to ask stuff instead of Google. Acronyms tend to be pretty quick and easy to find though.
Considering the thread title, I thought there was a real controversy here, but I really don't see anything wrong here. Just a wholesome telling off to some horrible people.
See, this annoys me, I too like to live by the Golden Rule, but a blunt corollary to that is "Don't be a Dick". Instead of being all huffy about being scolded. Try thinking what's getting them mad in the first place.
Also supporting Trans people is hardly some trend or movement you can sit out on.

This owns.
I don't mean to put him on the spot like this, but I hope he shit-talks Rousey whenever he inevitably wins MK11 at Evo.

Hey, do not put Sauron in the same bag as those shitheads. Have you ever heard about a dinosaur with cancer!? /sWith these kinds of questions, I like posting this comic panel from Spider-Man.
Many rich and famous people don't care, and have the privilege not to care because they frequently don't have much to worry about in their own lives. Plenty of them have means to do a lot of good things, but they don't want to.

You could quote the third tweet, it's less crucial to the context and it will probably still appear in full since it's shorter. Or simply mention the reason for his tweet in text. Right now that information is super buried in the OP.
ContraPoints did a great video on how TERFS are pretty much concern trolling all the time...
But, I'll be honest, I could see why folks might be bothered by this since it's not that far off from that Red Dead Redemption video. SonicFox is in the right here morally unlike that dude, but I can understand why woman would be a bit bothered by the video.

Don't know much about him as I don't keep up with the scene, but I always enjoy his staunch support towards these causes when I see these topics pop up from time to time.
It's the equivalent of Nazi's getting mad at Wolfenstein not the RD2 bullshit.
I mean, eye for an eye is never a real answer but considering how many of them advocate violence against trans people I can't blame anyone for wanting to give it a shot. People literally die because of TERFy bullshit.
I also take a little umbrage with the idea that it's okay to hit nazis by many accounts in places like ERA, but punching TERFs, nah, let's keep off that. They aren't equivical but they're both hate groups that cause misery for their targets.
I just think that unlike that the theme of woman being brutalized for entertainment is so prevalent that I think it's fair to say that TERFS are in the wrong, but woman could be legitimately upset with the violence against woman angle.
I don't support TERFS...I've dealt with them before as I've thought about transitioning quite often...but I don't think I'd go as far as wanting to see them die like Nazis who are pieces of shit. I don't think they're that far gone.
Man, SonicFox is fucking awesome. WB/NR wouldn't listen to us, maybe they'll listen to the best player around and patch out Ronda Rousey.
FUUUUUUUCK TERFS.
FUUUUUUUCK TERFS.
These people sent me pictures of trans people's corpses in my DMs, they don't deserve shit. My rapist is now posting TERF stuff on facebook.
Fuck this "we need to be nice to our oppressors" bullshit. You are enabling their concern trolling and abuse.
It's not (fictional) violence directed at someone for being a woman, but for being a TERF. If known male TERF voiced a character in the game, the video would most likely have that character instead. Gender is irrelevant for the target.
Also for the RDR2 comparison you made earlier, I believe this was one clip not a series of multiple videos.

Where the dude had a whole YT of him shooting the feminist in RDR2. A bad comparison I regret making, but I guess I just feel like FUCK TERFS is valid, but then you add the violence against a woman and I think it just makes it easy for TERFS to connect it to misogyny.
I didn't realize the reason he did that though to Sonya was because of her VA being one so I apologise, that does make the context different.

Fairly popular Youtuber made a series of videos of specifically killing the suffragettes in RDR2, which caused bit of controversy and articles.
Yeah, he's been conflating people who call him and other TERFs out on their transphobic bullshit with GG for a long time now.
As has been said the violence is targeted towards TERFs not women, SonicFox even elaborates on this in the first post. Whilst I'm sympathetic lots of folks would be uncomfortable to the type of violence seen in MK regardless of gender the only people being exposed to this are MK/SonicFox fans and TERFs searching for the term; the latter group can fuck themselves if their sensitive to depictions of fictional violence when they enact real world violence against a minority group on a daily basis.
Been around for literal years. But yeah you've still got to go pretty far out of your way to find out about all this stuff, really.
