The Mountain that Writes, and Games (but not at Origins)

Last Redoubt -

The quote above, courtesy of Razorfist on twitter, is one I’m glad to run across, as I’ve long hated the “you’re just angry” disqualification the left likes to use.

Wrath is a sin. Anger is but a response to a perceived injustice. Your perception may, of course, be wrong, or not in accordance with objective reality, but if it is correct, it is not only valid, but moral.

In that sense, while fully understanding both John Ringo’s stance re: Carolina Con, and the International Lord of Hate’s stance as well regarding being disinvited from Origins – hey, they’re being morons, don’t want to waste my precious time dealing with assholes by forcing the issue – there’s also a moral imperative at stake, that of making the SJW’s and their enablers pay for their behavior.

They believe they won, that they’re getting their way, because the cons folded like “a cheap lawn chair.” And they will do it again.

Aside: I usually find the ILoH’s writing to be wickedly smart satire, but the “I’m not a racist” routine doesn’t help.

As a result, I’m glad to see Nick Cole stepping up to the plate:

It’s Crusade Time:

The Social Justice Mob has targeted Larry Correia and had him disinvited from the Origins Game Fair. This is how we stop this nonsense of false accusations and ginned up faux left wing outrage. Target the sponsors. Insist that they insist this behavior stop. Pick a company and stop purchasing. They make some great stuff. I know it will be hard. But make the sacrifice. I will no longer support any of these companies that co-sponsor a con that invites and then disinvites a well respected author on the basis of outright lies. -Nick
