My sides are in fucking orbit.

Aussies are the greatest shitposters known to mankind.

>Quite simply, I wanted to see how ridiculous and flagrantly wrong/untruthful I could be and get away with it. I’d had the FFVII/sexism article written well over a year ago, yet I didn’t pull the trigger. I thought, at the time, that it would be far too stupid and misinformed for any publication to run. However, as the articles regarding feminist complaints on…well everything…began to pile up, each one getting progressively less logical and more poorly argued, I decided it was time.

>It is the most successful article I’ve ever written. More comments, more views, more shares, more threads, more responses, than anything I’ve ever done before. As of now, the FFVII/sexism article sits at around 1000 FB shares and 700+ comments, not including the multiple threads and video and article responses I’ve seen.

>When you take into consideration I wrote this piece in about 30 minutes (35–40 including some editing I’ll get into later), the energy to reward ratio is unbelievable. I have put more effort into some of the shits I’ve taken than I have to either of the articles submitted.

I loved every bit of that article. Even funnier was his choice of pseudonyms since there are guys named Sandy, either as given names or nicknames.

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

Who?

I think Jimmy is discounting the significance of the story by pointing out this author is a nobody who published an online article on an obscure website unknown to 99% of the human population.

Jimmy has a point. 1000 FB shares over months is a pretty pathetic number. An article about Trump published on USA online just 30 minutes ago has 15,000 shares already.

More asking because I have no idea what this person is talking about. I vaguely remember a big kerfuffle about sexism in gaming, but that is about the extent of it. This person is claiming to have trolled the issue and people sucked it up like Trump supporters love insults by Trump. But I have no idea who this person is, what his influence was, and if any of this actually matters.

I thought this would be about how she has a penis.
