Fear And Loathing On The Intertubes

Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley esse delendam.


I don’t follow VTubers because my attention span these days is short enough I have a hard time making it through a lot of YouTube videos, much less a three-hour stream, and I’m not in the target demographic anyway. However, when #1 Son threw me a RedState link on Telegram a few weeks ago, I sat up and took notice. As Brandon Morse noted*, what’s significant here is not that somebody got bullied off the internet, but the massive backlash that bullying inspired in not just VTuber fandom, but a lot of people who had just had it up to here with the (alleged) minority of trans activists going around making other peoples’ lives miserable over video games. A lot of trans activists online got jumped on with both boots for not policing their own bad actors, and then 4chan got into the act. Every one of the “activists’ who had bullied Pikamee got doxxed, and quite a few of them shut down their Twitter accounts – but not before 4chan and others brought the receipts and exposed them as the lying bullies they were. Pikamee is still graduating, but the LGBTWTFBBQ crowd has been put on notice that people are tired of their shit and not willing to put up with it any more.

*RTWT, seriously.

Now, this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” Winston S. Churchill, Their Finest Hour

By itself, this could be dismissed as a tempest in a teapot. But the revenge taken by VTuber fans and 4chan isn’t happening in a vacuum. States are passing laws banning sexually explicit drag shows in public venues, especially where children may be exposed to these “queens”. Parents across the country are demanding explanations from school boards when they find porn in their school libraries and troons making elementary school kids discuss sexual acts instead of teaching the three R’s. The same parents are bringing down the hellfire on schools that think it’s okay to hide the fact that Little Johnny is transitioning to Little Janey from Johnny’s parents. We have a long way to go before all these shifty genderqueer groomers are rooted out of the public schools, but as Churchill said after El Alamein, it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

Never forget. Never forgive. Never surrender.
