I dont really get that KylieDog, from reading it.

Do you know what a sockpuppet account is?  If you do it should be obvious what Tim meant.

Hes a comedian/game designer known for using sockpuppets.

Hes used sockpuppets ALOT in the past, I dont think he ment for it to have that way of being understood.

Your chooseing to interpret it that way.

 

Sometimes people just over analyse things, I think.

Its like the colour of the sockpuppet, its yellow right? does that have some special meaning?

or is it just because he had one laying around that looked like that already?

 

I thought he was supportive of the Notyourshield crowd.

He makes a joke to bring attention to the issue, not to demean people.
