Source?
Downvoted for asking for a source for claims of "literal" threats?? 🤣 Some people are kindof a trip.
Easier to just link you to a youtube video that does that for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1G-BDswd6M
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
https://www.piped.video/watch?v=-1G-BDswd6M
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
So you don’t actually have a source then? What a surprise considering your post history and the communities you’re a mod for.
More like it's not worth tracking down the archives for deleted tweets.
Well, I guess if the claim is not worth backing up, it’s probably not worth listening to. Thanks!
Whens the last time you saw anyone actually read a provided source?
So you admit you provided a bullshit YouTube link because you’re not engaging with any sort of good faith intent to inform?
You must be fun at parties
A mod in Conservative, I'm very not surprised.
This particular take that's going around seems to be almost as stupid as Sweet Baby Inc's attempted takedown of the Steam group.
They're just pointing out reality - gaming media is "woke", if your product doesn't check the diversity and inclusion boxes it will be criticized, "hire us to help". They're basically a PR firm.
This isn't them threatening to cause the damage, they're not The Mob - "Say, that's a nice game you got there. Be a shame if something happened to it."
That's textbook extortion. "Nice product you got there, be a shame if twitter didn't like it. Maybe pay us some money, make sure nothing untoward happens to your product"
I mean, how is it not.
Me observing that it's cold out and offering to sell you some gear so you can avoid frostbite isn't extortion.
Me threatening to break your legs if you don't buy something is.
Hope that helps.
