What I meant by "proto alt-right" was the *subreddits where the alt right later took root.* In particular r/tumblrinaction, which was mostly making fun of "tumblr SJWs." I also thought men's rights was a needed movement, which it is not. 3/
These were bad opinions and I regret them, but at no point were these places anything resembling "the alt-right" while I was on them. That happened years later, after Gamergate started, as anyone familiar with the course of events can tell you. By then I'd long since left. 4/
This was all before these internet spaces had been linked to IRL politics -- politically, the worst you can say of me is that I was a milquetoast Democrat who thought Barack Obama was pretty cool. 5/
The fact that people who don't like me (well, people who don't like my friends, more accurately) are in other peoples' DMs trying to make it sound like this is equivalent to being an ex-nazi is honestly just so absurd I can't keep my head on straight. 6/
I'm gonna be logging off of twitter for a while, because fuck all this shit. But I just wanted to set the record straight there. 7/7
I'm so sorry this is happening. Everybody (EVERYBODY!!!) thought some dumb stuff when they were 19, but to have it dragged out to be misconstrued and misused by folks whose own worldviews are often problematic at best is just awful.

Yeah like, I thought admitting to having thought shitty things in the past was a good thing, but apparently I was supposed to have been an Iron Socialist from birth or else i'm persona non grata
This just keeps getting increasingly more desperate and bizarre. wtf is going through their heads
This is different people than the people who called me a nazi, even... I don't know where all these people are coming from
