I'm calling it now: Thor is going to eventually say that this was his plan all along.

Egotism often translates to charisma and confidence, but falls apart eventually.

Also, a reminder, the "Con" in con-artist is short for confidence.

One of the big reasons many people are "okay" with making fun of him. Is that he could basically make it all go away if he just admitted he was wrong.

The whole thing stems from him being so full of himself that he cannot admit any fault, ever. He has been objectively proven wrong many times on several different topics, there are a lot of situations that heavily indicate misconduct, etc. And he literally went on a stream with a licensed psychiatrist who tried to explain some of his faults. To which he laughed and said "Okay, don't see it that way, but alright".

At the end of the day, he seems almost incapable of admitting that he ever did or said anything wrong. So people keep making fun of him, since he's objectively proven wrong repeatedly.

I'm not gonna go out of my way to review bomb his game or send him messages or at him on twitter. But I am not gonna stop calling him a narcisistic idiot whenever the topic comes up. People should know. That is not harassment, that is countering misinformation, at least IMO. A meme like this is not harassment in my book either. He is a public figure.

I doubt he'll ever use Lemmy to be honest, but I get what you mean.

Misinterpreted the article, made a video about it. Ignored his own comments calling him out on it.

Was overall an asshole "I know more than all of you" through, tone and everything.

Then doubled down.

17 minutes.

But in short, PirateSoftware had a fall from grace for narcissism and with his previous opposition to the petition, became a "villain" to unite against.

No one’s silencing him, though right? They’re just reacting to what he said, which is consequence. Is this somehow challenging his right to make his voice heard?

Lying and being rude to someone for no reason is not making your voice heard

I'm not saying you should hate him. And he absolutely have the right to his own opinion. But what he did is the equivalent of reading a news title, and then go trash talk it in the comments about how awful it is, when the article wasn't about what you were mad about, at all.

Basically this;

Title: Denmark shuts down 60% of their wind-power

Article: Denmark shuts down 60% of their wind-power, pending an investigation as 1 million birds have died in them over the past 3 months, they are currently assessing the situation and investigating why this change in bird migration route has occurred and how to prevent more deaths. According to local expert, they will use the time to perform maintenance and test various methods of scaring birds away.

PirateSoftware: Denmark are the fucking worst, they shut down tons of wind farms, they are anti renewable, they don't want wind farms, they realized that they can get cheaper gas, if they import more, and the difference will offset the cost of running and maintaining these wind farms. Where are they getting this gas? Probably Norway, possibly even Russia dude! They can eat my ass, the entire thing. Dried shit in my ass hairs and all.

Trashy twitch streamer with a massive ego problem

Just know he's someone who wants you to eat his entire ass.

I came to PS through YouTube shorts and his streams were cut to ribbons and repatched into something resembling a zeitgeist-appealing view.

Then I watched a couple of his long form videos and was like ... eh. If anything it taught me more about the danger of using shorts as an onboard to any big vtuber. Much like movie trailers and their movies, they tend to overpromise and underdeliver.

This became undeniably apparent when YouTube started shoving Jordan Petersen into my feed. Much like the thousand monkeys at their typewriters, you can take the words of anyone who talks at length almost daily on a subject and edit them into something that sounds reasonable and appealing.

I already knew that JP was a right wing rhetoric Markov chain posing as an expert/pundit before YT started promoting him, but it really did cement the point.
