Replies were bombarded with harassment and enbyphobia, trotting out the usual, “Why did you say their? Is she a group?” talking point, like a wall of Buzz Lightyear toys repeating their stock phrase. Others ask how to un-back the project, some describe the announcement as a “threat,” and then come the usual buzzwords: Erika Ishii is a “toxic activist,” a “woke idiot,” “Antifa terrorist,” and a few blatantly racist descriptors we obviously won’t repeat here. Understandably, Double Fine turned off the comments.

    Drinks at Nazi bar, is surprised by Nazi patrons.

    Stop fucking using Twitter to announce anything. “We go where the people are” is no longer an acceptable excuse for your business keeping any presence on Twitter.

      Yes. Absolutely floors me. Given the research on bots vs humans, fascism, etc. that plagues Twitter, playing the “but the audience” card holds no merit.

      Let me tell you about people drinking at the Nazi…

      If 9 Nazi are drinking at a bar and a none Nazi walks in, there are 10 Nazi at a bar.
