Woke up this morning to a dumpster fire in my mentions (I mean it's always a dumpster fire tbf). These fools are still spreading bullshit conspiracies that are so bonkers they aren't worth repeating but it's just so exhausting. I guess being a misogynist asshole never gets old.

If you want to learn more about how toxic these conspiracy theories are check out this talk I did at

I know you and I don't always see eye to eye, but I am willing to help parse all this for you in a way your critics will understand, and to help clear up some misconceptions as well. All you have to do is ask, Anita.

I don't need your help.
-
I know. And that is one thing I really respect and admire about you, actually. Still, all I can do is continue to make the offer in the hopes you might reconsider that working together is more productive than the status quo. I'm not your enemy, Anita.
-
She was so rude to you, and you just sat there and took it? Wow. The worst part is you’re either oblivious or unwilling to acknowledge it.
-
It's called taking the high road. Read the original article I wrote. If my intent is to
#HealTheDivide, which path is more likely to achieve that end? Calling her a cunt to her face for spurning my offer or saying, "Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, maybe next time"? -
You can think about it like what's going on in Korea or Russia at the moment. Trump says, "Well, we can continue this war like we've been doing and risk blowing up the planet, or you can work with us and be our friends and we can win at everything together." Hmm, tough choice.
-
Make no mistake, her refusal saddens me greatly, but she and I are both adults. I'm not a snowflake. We've both been hurt way worse before, we just shrug it off and continue. She doubtless has her reasons and I won't speculate what they are cuz I'm not a mind reader.
-
I don't really have a horse in this race but I've learned that sometimes these requests are better received privately. I also noticed that "helping" seems to be a pejorative nowadays and "lending a hand" or "assisting" nets better results. I find your cause a very noble one tho.

ahh I feel you, this same type of shit has happened to me. even folks who support my work are like "Well, it was kinda fucked up that you said X" and I have to be like "Wtf? I never said X that's a myth/conspiracy theory." it's wild how affective repeating a lie over and over is.
-
like it's so affective to the point of I've been gaslit to believe some of the lies about me because I heard them so much I was like "there has to be SOME truth to them, right?" (spoiler: no there really isn't) anyway, v sorry about what's happening to you still, it's so fucked.
-
I am STILL telling people that you never said that you weren't going to go on hormones. I am STILL telling people you don't believe in forcing someone to have sex with a person just because that person is trans. It's frustrating but they genuinely believe this shit.

When I Google search the subject, I find opinions I support of you, but I find well-sourced information against you. Which should I believe, Anita?

Anything you or your circle-jerk makes is also incredibly easy to dispel, but I don't see you doing it. On the contrary, your lies keep stacking and stacking.

But which definition of harassers? The ones that make baseless death threats or threaten doxxing? (Those I could sympathize and agree with you on) Or the ones that discredit the claims of sexism/bigotry you cry wolf over? (Lying about Hitman, discrediting choice feminism)

You could easily dispel them by actually addressing them instead of using the unethical blogger press to do your fighting for you.

You mean the myth like the video of you saying you don’t like video games? Yup, totally a myth. Not real. Don’t need to watch it, it never happened.

It's laughable that you whine about there being myths about what you produce when the things you produce are, themselves, full of myths, gornisht and horsepucky.
I'm sorry, but you never deserved to be taken seriously in the first place.
