    who cares about any of these people

    "[insert eceleb here] doesn't have good enough politics" is a categorically liberal complaint. just ignore them. what next, you're gonna whine that MSNBC doesn't air enough gritty fancams?

      ? Criticizing a popular streamer for stirring up drama with a communist and making anti-communist videos is not liberal. Ignore her all you want but Keffals is a public figure who's using her platform to spread her anti-communist views and its perfectly fine to want to criticize her for that.

      And if we cant criticize the views of streamers then are we also not allowed to criticize v*ush for his crap?

          You wouldn't know he existed but he still would exist and he would be spreading the same state department approved lies as he's always done.

          Keffals otoh has become a superstar among lefty twitter users becuase of her campaign against terfs. Its good people are pushing back against the anti-communist shit she spreads because shes able to launder it better than a slime ball like vaush is.

            Exactly. The "just ignore it and it'll go away" shit that some people on this site do is fucking ridiculous.

              I mean, in some cases thats definitely true, some online stuff is pure drama bait, and retweeting/posting about that stuff to dunk on it gives the person posting it what they want. But with stuff like this, where Keffals has built a large following off her charity and social justice work and is now using said clout to spread an anti-communist message to her viewers, it's important to get the pro-communist side out there to counter her.

                I agree 100%, well said.

                The online anti-communist western "left" do absolutely have real world influence, and they need to be called out for their bullshit.

          Jordan Peterson gets a tremendous amount of airtime on this site. I don't follow him whatsoever, but I am ruthlessly kept up to date about what he thinks about today's issue.

        no. shut up about that guy. enough. not only are his politics bad, he's personally very annoying, and internet marxists who hate him have only made him worse.

          This is just blaming other people for his actions. If hes bad its because hes bad, not because someone here dunked on a stupid take he had and it "made him worse". The same exact thing applies to keffals

            i'm not blaming other people for his actions, i'm blaming other people for telling me about his actions, which i do not care about

            also his career has absolutely benefited from a "social" media environment in which some asshole having a stupid opinion is of the utmost political import to self-styled radicals, i don't see how that could be even a little controversial

              Posting on a public forum is not "telling you" about anything. You dont like vush or keffals fine, dont read threads about them.

              And none of this is of "utmost import", its a thread on hexbear lmao. No ones out there killing themselves over keffals being a chud, its just disappointing and so people want to talk about it. I really do not see what the issue is.

                it's not even that i don't like them. it's that other people who also don't like them still won't shut up about them! i'm not going on the voosh subreddit and yelling at the little twerps to stop talking about him, i'm yelling at people here who want the twerps to stop talking about him to use their dang noggins.
