02:11:30: <Modern_Erasmus> Idk why reverend fox is up for promotion

02:11:43: <Ard> maybe he does a lot of forum crit

02:12:03: <MobileMagnus> Updatebans is fixed.

02:12:11: <MobileMagnus> .tell tuomey updatebans shld be fixed now.

02:12:12: <Jarvis> mobilemagnus: Sent.

02:12:22: <MobileMagnus> I drunk fixed the code on my phone.

02:12:26: <TombAFK> yeet

02:12:26: <MobileMagnus> Like a real dev

02:12:30: <Modern_Erasmus> yeah but up until recently he ran a wikidot blog with a ton of concerning statements

02:12:41: <MobileMagnus> Link?

02:12:47: <Roget> Oh that guy?

02:13:00: <Modern_Erasmus> including rants about “hollywood people” not being human and the usual sjw bashing

02:13:05: <MrAnakinSpecter> something’s telling me he isn’t a real reverend

02:13:29: <MobileMagnus> Has he ever expressed these on the wiki?

02:13:39: <MobileMagnus> We can’t keep someone from.being staff for having unfortunate political inclinations.

02:13:41: <TombAFK> what the fuck

02:13:53: <MobileMagnus> I mean, we can, but wtf.

02:13:56: <Modern_Erasmus> MobileMagnus: he was a hugely arrogant prick back in 2017 but he hasn’t in the past few months that I know of

02:13:58: <TombAFK> MobileMagnus: I mean, that really depends

02:14:10: <Roget> Do we know who’s going up for promotion?

02:14:16: <Modern_Erasmus> Roget: yeah

02:14:20: <TombAFK> like, “political inclinations” has broadened in bad ways recently

02:14:22: <Modern_Erasmus> Roget: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eaHkwfqf88wyiAjiP2yR3PIK1_C4ub7NteQS8cLzy5Q/edit

02:14:33: <MobileMagnus> I mean….yes, obviously.

02:14:39: <Roget> nice

02:14:50: <MobileMagnus> But if he’s not acted on them, and he’s not a douche about it….he can be wrong and douche in his private life.

02:14:55: <Modern_Erasmus> It looks like the disturbing blog has been deleted, it used to be a wikidot site calling the “ranting reverend”

02:15:11: <MobileMagnus> Mmm.

02:15:15: <Modern_Erasmus> MobileMagnus: yeah but we have to trust him with 67 access

02:15:17: <TombAFK> once someone posts something publicly, they don’t get to say it’s their private shit or whatever

02:15:21: <MobileMagnus> True.

02:15:55: <TombAFK> if I put my dumb fucking opinions on my tumblr and I don’t get a job because of it, that is a) terrible and b) fair

02:16:01: <Modern_Erasmus> http://nerdity-method.wikidot.com/ he also has this weird blog where he promises that he’s working on some “revolutionary writing method”

02:16:01: <MobileMagnus> Option 1) ask him about it.

02:16:06: <MobileMagnus> Option 2) deny him.

02:16:25: <Modern_Erasmus> which A. sounds like a mlm scheme and B. speaks again to his tendency towards arrogance

02:16:29: <MrAnakinSpecter> scantron does exactly that, tuomey

02:17:03: <TombAFK> I mean, yes?

02:17:13: <TombAFK> lots of people put dumb opinions on tumblr

02:17:21: <TombAFK> it’s practically the dumb opinions generator

02:17:29: <TombAFK> and I say this as someone on tumblr

02:17:32: <MrAnakinSpecter> my point was more that they post dumb scp opinions

02:17:46: <MobileMagnus> I have never seen this blog, so I dunno wtf the content is first hand. Is there an internet archive of it?

02:17:52: <TombAFK> I guess okay

02:18:31: <Modern_Erasmus> MobileMagnus: I can pull one up rq

02:18:53: <MobileMagnus> If you’d be so kind.

02:19:16: <MobileMagnus> I have no problems confronting someone about political leaning when I’m about to let them potentially help run the site.

02:19:32: <MobileMagnus> I just feel weird denying without a conversation.

02:19:32: <MrAnakinSpecter> who would?

02:19:35: <Modern_Erasmus> MobileMagnus: https://web.archive.org/web/20180729040912/http://ranting-reverend.wikidot.com/

02:19:39: <MobileMagnus> I dunno.

02:20:57: <MrAnakinSpecter> “Ever since I was seventeen” no way this kid is older than seventeen

02:21:35: <MobileMagnus> https://goo.gl/images/ZWUz1q

02:21:43: <MrAnakinSpecter> “However, my first paycheck was spent on gas for my car, insurance, and my first earned purchase2 — a brown duster and a cowboy hat, both of which I still have and use.”

02:21:48: <MrAnakinSpecter> is this kid for real holy shit

02:22:26: <TombAFK> > posted on Saturday: 10 March, 2018

02:22:48: <Modern_Erasmus> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwPxnnaek84 here’s a video of his that was also quite concerning for me

02:22:49: <Jarvis> modern_erasmus: F*ckit Fridays – Proper Discourse and My Most Offensive Opinion – length 12m55s – 0↑0↓ – 10 views – Christoph Vezina on 2018-03-10

02:23:07: <TombAFK> I’m not watching a video rn but I want to point out the date on these things

02:23:10: <MrAnakinSpecter> is he wearing his trenchcoat and cowboy hat

02:23:17: <TombAFK> Less than a year ago, although not by much

02:23:22: <MrAnakinSpecter> yeah 2018 is too close to the present for me to be comfortable with these things

02:23:33: <TombAFK> Point is, while people can change, it generally takes a while

02:24:28: <MrAnakinSpecter> “If there were a gun to my head on the matter, though, I’d have to identify as a centrist.” i refuse to believe this isn’t intentionally a stereotype thing christ

02:24:35: <MobileMagnus> So, nothing here is like….

02:24:41: <MobileMagnus> Molotov in the window.

02:24:53: <MobileMagnus> He’s just a pretentious most likely white dude.

02:25:19: <TombAFK> oh, we’re well over quota on those

02:25:44: <MobileMagnus> That Magnus fuck is one too many.

02:25:50: <MrAnakinSpecter> which clued you off on that? the duster and cowboy hat or the centrist thing?

02:25:58: <MobileMagnus> Lol

02:26:01: <MobileMagnus> Yes?

02:26:53: <MrAnakinSpecter> i am kind of curious why he bought that specific things with his first paycheck though

02:27:04: <MobileMagnus> Dumb kid shit.

02:27:39: <MrAnakinSpecter> no but like, what was his reasoning

02:27:53: <MrAnakinSpecter> was it an “i’m gonna look so badass” kind of thing or something else

02:28:04: <MobileMagnus> I have no clue

02:28:12: <rumetzen> it was almost certainly an “i’m gonna be a badass cowboy preacher” thing

02:28:36: <MrAnakinSpecter> or maybe he got another job as an extra on one of AMC’s thirty fucking western shows

02:37:01: <Modern_Erasmus> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI35RdClDyw here’s another video from december btw

02:37:02: <Jarvis> modern_erasmus: Honest Talk – My Most Offensive Opinion – length 12m56s – 0↑0↓ – 5 views – Christoph Vezina on 2018-12-05

02:38:24: <Modern_Erasmus> I don’t think he’s a bigot or anything, but he’s remarkably shortsighted when it comes to privelege. This vid is basically a long rant about how he doesn’t like identity politics and he’s had it hard for being a radical centrist. And that privilege shouldn’t matter, internal stuff should matter, etc

02:38:56: <Ard> RADICAL CENTRISM

02:39:21: <MrAnakinSpecter> tubular centrism

02:39:26: <MrAnakinSpecter> bodacious centrism
