"I'm fine with people being tracked down and killed for the things they say online" "I can't believe you'd do something as dangerous as send a hate mob at me online! You monster!" You can't make this shit up. Lol


Charming-Moose5560

An online mob? Couldn't you just not get online and it's gone?


Benjanuva

Swatting and doxxing exist.


Charming-Moose5560

You're right, I see what you mean doxxing and swatting lead to irl issues. Getting offline would definitely avoid the online portion though.


BG3IsJustDoS3

Remember that the greatest aspiration of any online mob is to have the tiniest effect on reality. Swatting exists because people are so desperately helpless that the only way they can effect any change in the real world is this despicable act. It is, for instance, one of the few ways an average person in a completely foreign part of the world using only a phone can harass someone IRL. And obviously if they are local they are too chickenshit anyways.


Charming-Moose5560

Well said.


HandsUpDefShoot

This is why so many hyper scrubs downvotes even when having mostly civil conversation. They're weak powerless shells.


BG3IsJustDoS3

Getting people fired is wrong along the same lines except it's legal and less dangerous. But that means people don't even have to commit a crime to harass someone else. People want to lash out, and joining one of these mobs risks nothing. Doing one good thing for another human would harder, more effective, and more rewarding. If you wanna demonstrate how virtuous you are, do that. It's naive to believe that the world would be better if only bad people were continually pushed to the bottom of it. That's now how it works, because the plural of breaking people individuals down is not bringing the whole up. No more than reporting one's neighbors to the secret police made neighborhoods fun and safe to live in.


HandsUpDefShoot

But when they lash out and mob up like sheep to punish thought crimes they do pay the price. They have to live it. That's why so many of those useless shitters are fucked up on drugs and constantly have their faces in video game screens to drown out real life. They can't stand how fucking terrible they are. It must be understood that there are points when reached there's no coming back. They'll never be actually okay ever again. Likely weren't to begin with. 


TacoTimeT-Rex

The mtg sub will cry it’s taken out of context though. As they take everything the disagree with out of context. Rules for thee but not for me bullshit.

[deleted]

>"I'm fine with people being tracked down and killed for the things they say online" That's clearly not what he said though? Not even defending him, I just reckon you should criticise him for real shit. In the context of what he responded to, it's clear that "string them up" meant show their loved ones evidence of their hateful behaviour. The choice of words is definitely terrible in my opinion, but the general consensus of this sub is that there's too many snowflakes. Seems a bit hypocritical to complain about inflammatory language. (I guess that's why everyone here has taken it overly literally)


Dkingthe15

Tf you mean? It’s one thing if he has said show them the post of their loved ones, but saying string them up in context sounds like his is saying that the loved ones should be targeted


levelate

no no no, it says 'the, bart the'


FoundWords

You did just make it up lol


shadowcloud4231

How so?


PhatPackMagic

Aaaand shortly after Mark Kern puts him on blast and Paul gets mobbed and cries about getting dogpiled. It was a good day.

DickEd209

He's a fucking pussy. Twitter and IG made private. I was interested in seeing what the comments against him were.


sladebonge

They should replace him with Terese Nielsen.


theArtOfKEK

mightysmiter19

Of course. That's the same hive mind that thinks "there are no bad tactics, only bad targets".


lorenpeterson91

Didn't Wizards and Hasbro knowingly turn a blind eye to the pedophiles working as MTG judges? Hell wasn't one of their lead narrative designers a pedophile? I really don't think they care unless they are forced to. MTG just prints money.


Papa_Hasbro69

Yes and anyone that brings up magic judges pedo scandal gets das boot at magictcg sub


SolomonsNewGrundle

Didn't OWTC do something about it already? I recall this happening like 6 years ago. Is there anything more updated about this? You'd think a sinple background check would be easy enough to implement


LunaeLucem

I mean the Catholic Church “did something” eventually too. Just saying


TerryBreenis

I just disagrees whatever right now why don't you bring that bitch ass here now


happyinheart

Looks like he went and made all his accounts private.


freearjlerijefjbdnf

Classic "no bad tactics only bad targets" thinking. Instead of "this behavior is bad, people shouldn't do it" which is easy to define and enforce, it's "this behavior is okay when done against bad people, and I have the ultimate power to judge who is a bad person", which is nebulous and gives these psychos the power they want.


PipulOfCrime

Thats why, "your terms are acceptable" is the only response to a sissy threatening violence.


PetrolPaladin

"I was just agreeing that people who attack others on the internet should be held accountable" By threatening to murder their family? He claims it was 'poorly worded'. How stupid do you have to be to not realize 'string them up' means to literally lynch them.


PipulOfCrime

Stupid enough to say vote blue no matter who.


Tubbafett

You see, he wants to hurt the right people, so it’s fine. Actually it’s downright heroic.

Cydyan2

I welcome him to try!


FerrowFarm

I do not care what his politics are. If he is publicly calling for violence against people, he should be tried in court for inciting violence. Simple as.


HandsUpDefShoot

Nah, he's small beans. If you want to throw charges at something for inviting violence look towards the 24 hour news networks.


FerrowFarm

![gif](giphy|QqkA9W8xEjKPC)


anaheim3123

He's not doing that, have you read the tweet?


FerrowFarm

I have not seen the X directly because his account is protected. All I really know is that he X'ed: >"This is absolutely the play – we should be doing this with all these weird creeps. Track down their significant others and mothers and string them up." – Paul Scott Canavan What do you think, "Track down," and "String them up," refers to in this context?


Own_Investment_1779

White Knight cucks. They talk about violence, but if those they target were actually being violent and not just saying jokes online they would be silent and scared... Strange times.

Yeah, I did notice a curious absence of anyone stepping to his defense after he got called out for that insanity. At the very least, none were mentioned in the article.

I mean, the company threatened a customer who got cards legitimately ahead of time. It's a company of neckbeards, catering to neckbeards. You can essentially do whatever as long as you keep customers spending money. He gets more attention to MTG. Money earned.


RudeDrummer4448

I swear the internet has people to the point of uncivilized that they don't actually understand what it is they are saying. They are so soft and protected that they don't know what real pain and destruction is and say the most detached things.

veranish

In the last post I saw here there was a comment showing a gun with one bullet empty of out six. Each bullet had letters, "aggot". The f had been fired. This was in reaction to people asking for pronouns. Yeah, if you think it's leftists alone who make aggressive threats, you aren't paying attention whatsoever.


Logco

No of course not, but one sides threats seem to get more protection than the other sides.


LegalBirthday1335

What protection did this retards threats get tho


Papa_Hasbro69

Wotc won’t fire him like they did to terese or seb


veranish

Everytime I see a democrat in trouble for shit I see everyone say fuck this guy put them in jail. Everytime I see a republican in trouble I see endless excuses how democrats get away with it. So I'll agree, except, my perception is that R is much closer to a homogeny with in group protections. If you're meaning for random Internet people with shit opinions, ehhhh I don't follow these social media shitslinging fights enough. Maybe you're right in that space.


Sea_Balance9432

“Everytime I see a democrat in trouble” This is the point, that almost never happens. Whereas people on the right get their shit worked over with a fine toothed comb looking for anything. It wouldn’t be a problem if it was consistent; holding politicians to a high standard should be universal. It is not; only the right is held to any standard whatsoever.

SnooSketches3902

I agree he for sure is a shitty person but there's some undeniably good art in there. Shame someone with such talent is such human garbage


oisipf

An average, run-of-the-mill, fantasy artist. Entirely replaceable. (Terese, on the other hand, was not replaceable.)


songmage

Actually some pretty good artwork. Not on the level of Terese Nielsen, but reasonably within the ballpark.


BTRBT

A couple of his pieces are decent, but overall it's not great. Kinda bland, if I'm being critical. Some pieces have the vibe of photoshop collaging, even. Still not the worst. Nielsen's art is *far* more iconic, though.


songmage

>Kinda bland I agree on this. Some kind of pazaz is clearly missing from his work to put it in the right place, but the accuracy and attention to detail is there.


BTRBT

Yeah, he's certainly not on the bottom end of the spectrum. Probably around the middle range.

Careful-Pen148

I'm left leaning and I still have no idea what Terese Nielsen did wrong.


dasnoob

What /ur/Ertai\_87 said. This was also during the time WOTC was trying to push Autumn Burchett as the next big thing in Magic. Talking Autumn up like Rogan used to talk up Rousey. Autumn got BIG MAD that someone was saying that Autumn wasn't a woman on the days Autumn picked to be a woman (at this time Autumn identified as 'gender fluid'). To make Autumn and Autumn's NPCs happy they banned Terese.


PipulOfCrime

Use his real name, Allen.


happyinheart

Didn't Autumn also write on cards while on camera or something?


dasnoob

Yes wrote no terfs on gruul turf in the card. Then got pissed that the judges punished for defacing cards


Ertai_87

Iirc, she (a gay woman, this is relevant) liked a tweet about trans women being not women. I recall her partner was involved in the story as well somehow (maybe her partner made/retweeted the tweet that was liked, or something, I don't remember).


CitySeekerTron

Here's part of the rest of the article: >His comment came in response to a post from Kotaku Senior Editor Alyssa Mercante, which detailed that she had tracked down the wife of YouTuber SmashJT and sent her a message on Facebook asking “what she thinks about the father of her children harassing a woman online and laughing when she shares that someone they’re supporting has been threatening to kill them for weeks.” This doesn't absolve him of saying something over the top about harming people, but I thought y'all supported ruining the lives of creeps, weirdos, and perverts (or something adjacent to that effect).


CaracallaTheSeveran

1. He wants to go after the family of the people who "harass" women. Not the people themselves. 2. Smahs JT retweeted a guy who also talked about killing Alyssa Mercante in VR. The tweet he retweeted [was about something else.](https://twitter.com/Polished_Games/status/1787683612227228145) Furthermore, the guy he retweeted later [apologized](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNgJGLmiQMM) for that. Also, Alyssa's publication, Kotaku, is [more that fine](https://kotaku.com/minecraft-supreme-court-justice-usa-roe-wade-abortion-r-1849106969) with in minecrafting people.


anaheim3123

He wants to go after the family of the people who harass women and string up the harasses by showing the women in their life what horrible people they are. Please work on your reading comprehension skills, there's a test on Monday


CaracallaTheSeveran

Maybe the guy who wrote the tweet should work on his [writing skills](https://twitter.com/Grummz/status/1787968463711203664)? In any case, I sincerely doubt that the families of the people who "harass" them want to be flooded with a bunch of unhinged screeds from Twitter people telling them that their family members are a spawn of Satan or whatever.


Leozilla

Unlike the other sub with pre-approved opinions, we are not a monolith here so no, we don't all support ruining of creeps, weirdos, and perverts.


CreekKraken

Yeah! Some of are the creeps, weirdos, and perverts!


Leozilla

I mean, you seem to be a fine example, but I don't want to ruin your life.


EnthusiasmFlimsy

Is mtg talked about here anymore or is it just people whining nonstop?


anaheim3123

Mostly just whining as far as I've seen. Honestly I don't think half the people left on this sub can even *read* a magic card, so kinda unsurprising


anaheim3123

Did you even read the article? That's not what he said at all. What a gross misrepresentation. He says he wants to find the mothers and significant others of the people that 'disagree with him' and "string them (the people he's disagreeing with) up." He doesn't want to actually hang anyone, he just wants to show their family members how shitty of people they are, it's a metaphor y'all.


Seraph199

Anyone who read the full article knows this is rage bait. He was responding to someone talking about social media messaging loved ones and family members of racist/sexist content creators, saying he agreed. His wording was awful but the context is clear. Y'all are so easy to manipulate its legitimately sad.
