Its always so funny when someone would rather run away than try to actually discuss their views. They say they arent allowed to talk about it, but they actually just refuse to debate because they understand their views are vile.

Must be kind of weird to have enough self awareness to understand that the views you hold are bad.

I remember when the politics board got nuked and people were so upset over it. People on the right were saying how unwelcoming the place was for anyone outside of the liberal echo chamber. and boy, those people got shouted down fast by posters on the left who insisted that GameFAQs was overrun by MAGA bigots.

Im gonna leave you all to continue your discussion now, have a great day everyone.
Do you enjoy popping into a topic, stating views that nobody asked for, and then running away when someone pushes against these views?

thats so soft and you do it a lot I guess

They understand that these views are horrible and yet they still have them. I dont understand that part.

If you are constantly being shutdown EVERYWHERE YOU GO for saying certain things, why you not question the things youre saying

They don't think those views are horrible but are aware enough to know the general public thinks they are horrible views.

This appears to be his rationale. I guess.

Really can only conclude mental illness from this. As someone who is pretty well-exposed to a lot of conspiracy theories involving topics he's discussing, little of what he says is coherent.

The jab at Kubrick, for example, is incredibly bizarre considering a common conspiracy theory is that Eyes Wide Shut was in part an exposee on elite debauchery. The lack of coherence comes in with his references to Epstein/Clinton; it's hard to be this conspiratorial, agree that Clinton was a freak, and somehow believe Kubrick was on their side considering how anti-establishment a lot of his films were.

You know, I've read about messed-up video game characters and they all look sane in comparison to real-life villains.

Maybe when I'm old and grey they'll make a Ready Player One-esque world that I can upload my consciousness into and take a beauty's form for the first time.

In the meantime, I'll just be here. Waiting, while the maniacs try to outdo themselves.

He did, but I'm somewhat of a Liquid Death aficionado so this is what I should comment on with my expertise.

In another blog post he states:

"The fact that we now have water called Liquid Death shows just how far this criminal disinformation campaign has come as theyve convinced the public to pay money for water that evokes hopelessness and death."

It's actually the opposite. Liquid Death doesn't evoke "hopelessness", It's a fun, punk rock brand that stands for positive things like promoting healthier alternatives to energy drinks and alcohol, and bringing awareness to plastic pollution. The entire extreme marketing is not meant to be taken seriously.

People have written to Cessario and told them how their kids now love water because of Liquid Death, or that it helped them fit in social situations where others are drinking alcohol. Hell, using me as an example, before Liquid Death I was having like 3-4 Monsters a day. Now I have none. A portion of the proceeds also goes towards fighting plastic pollution.

Liquid Death is amazing and I'm not just saying that because they legally own my soul.
