Some thoughts or things I don’t understand:
-That guy who did that podcast (the 4 episode one where he interviewed Pat) had the journalistic integrity to reach out to Admin and even Dan for “our side”. This, meanwhile, is a national newspaper, and they didn’t even do the bullshit “We contacted them for comment and received no reply.” Nope, just one persons word for the whole article. Do they have an obligation to contact us? No. But even lying about doing so would make this look better for the outlet and Pat himself.
-Anybody who tries to paint this place as having a leader (no less it being one of the bbboys) or a political ideology is wrong. I will not deny we have a right wing slant, no doubt, but we are not motivated by that. It’s a game and it’s funny. If it were about politics people would be too invested or righteous to care about the humor. However, there is an overwhelming interest here in being funny. The SWATtings are wrong for a multitude of reasons, but beyond being illegal and giving Pat sympathy points, it’s not funny. It is not in the interest of this place content wise to do so.
-Addressing the above, anybody who visits here would immediately see we make fun of Joe for being a bovine Trumper. We make fun of Anthonys unrepentant racism. We have at least 10 fags on here. Even if there IS an ideological slant, the slant is not a bias which precludes us from making shit funny, aka the whole point of this place.
-It is truly curious that this article claims the FBI’s warrants for Filone prove he is the SWATter of Patrick. It doesn’t, and nowhere in the FBI files is Patricks case mentioned. Now thats not saying Torswats DIDN’T do those, it’s by his own confession that he did. But it is curious to say the FBI proved this when they didn’t, it is simply Torswats word.
-In reference to above, why can we take Torswats word that he is the one SWATting Patrick, but we CANNOT take his word that Patrick is the one ordering them?
-As others have said, 0 mention of Kiwifarms which is not only more publicized than this place but has been tied to or responsible for literal crimes.
