    I really hope the rest of the world takes this as an example and follows suit. Yes I’m American. This disease needs to be quarantined here and not spread elsewhere.

    Just so everyone knows. You can thank Zoe Quinn for creating this monster. Candy ass had a terrible website idea. All they had to do was let it fail and not bring attention to it. They and their friend group harassed Candy Ass so much. It emboldened her into the right. You can thank Zoe Quinn for radicalizing an entire generation of boys into Gamergate. And Candyce. Like, they think they are cool. But honestly. They are just as toxic as the racists they fights against. They because they are non-binary now.

      If one person can “radicalize” you into being a piece of shit, you were one already.

        However. Giving them a pedestal to stand on because you and your friends were harassing someone. Isn’t a very big brain move. Just ignore people and move on.

            If those people are just being dumb and coming up with good intentioned anti-troll websites. It’s not worth your time. Just let them fail. Don’t turn a psycho into an even bigger psycho.

    I don’t consider myself a defender of Owens, and I often see her name associated with conservative, right wing publications.

    I have tried to watch her YouTube videos and from what I can make out, she comes to her own conclusions and simply is prepared to make arguments and defend her positions. I respect that even if I don’t necessarily agree with everything she says. She discusses current topics, and often walks audiences through her logic along the way.

    Australia suggests to deny her entry for various reasons - including that she’s divisive. This is a bit of whataboutism, and I’ll point out Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA (and Turning Point Australia apparently) was ALSO intending to travel to Australia prior to his assassination.

    I’m not fans of either, but I take note of the media focus, and lack of focus. I highlight that here for you too.

    I know the name Candace Owens only because I’ve heard several right-wing podcasters suggest that she’s a crazy person and they’re somehow embarrassed to be aligned with her in some sense.
