They targeted farmers.

Farmers.

We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a few eggs saying we did.
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.

We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of our crop all to draw out a single extra kernel of corn.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same harvest over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such farmer nirvana that they can literally harvest crop blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many hoes have been smashed, tractors over heated, crops and animals destroyed in frustration? All to later be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our seeds? We're already procuring new ones without them. They take our Monsanto? Farmers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the seeds our selves. They think calling us incel, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty hand plough. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Farmers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another harvest.
