Some tweets from piratenation and asmon about the bald protag in intergalatic got, lets say 20k-40k likes on Twitter. Which is a lot for the platform. Lets say that it was 50K though, lets ignore how many of those are bots Let's ignore how many of those wouldn't be interested in the game anyway Let's ignore how many might follow them without even being gamers really but just bc they are part of the culture war BS let's ignore that even on twitter they got ratioed by a tweet that got 300K likes

Just call them “the real SJWs” if they’re the first to bring up identity.
