| Louie said: I've always been a left-wing guy but that SJW thing is really getting out of hand. We're at a point where hurting someone's feelings is enough to generate a shit-storm and ruin people's lives. I'm totally on Collin's side here! |
I'm generally of the same mindset as you. Liberal person but the outrage is out of hand.
A lot of people did a fair bit of "virtue signalling", i.e. "Look at me tear down this guy who clearly isn't a very big obstacle in terms of women gaining equality. Look at how I said mean things about him from behind a keyboard on Twitter. Look how pro-woman I am!"
I don't think Collin's life was ruined though. I think he's wanted to do this for awhile. And I think he's gotten more support on patreon due to backlashing agaisnt backlash than he would have if he had left on an ordinary Tuesday to start doing his own thing.
The Internet loves drama and eCelebs eat it up too. That's what this is in my opinion.
