Please support the initiative of Stop Killing Games!
Both are past 100k now! I want to issue a special "fuck you" to all the idiot streamers that tried to kill SKG. And of course a special "go fuck yourself" to PirateSoftware and Asmongold for being fuckwit right wing tools for corporations. You have a special place in my heart as illiterate lapdogs to shitty corporations and right wing shills.
Asmonpoop is a moronic bum and people went from "this weirdo is strangely entertaining" to " let me hear what my moronic hobo-idol has to say about this".
It is a little bit like how people supported Drumpf as a joke first.
Pirate Software too.
They're both such idiot trolls.
PirateSoftware is what dumb people thinks a smart person acts like. His audience can't even pay attention unless he draws boxes in paint. I do understand how he can seem initially likeable, but if you watch him for more than a couple of hours you'll see his knowledge is shallower than a spilled glass of water.
Hold on there buddy! There's no reason to be derogatory towards hobos like that. I don't think I've ever been quite so offended on the internet as to have someone associate my good (user)name with the likes of Asmongold. If you don't bring that down a notch I'm gonna send the ghost of Woody Guthrie to haunt you until your dying days.
I know about PirateDouchebag, but I am not aware of Asmongold's issue.
I apologize but, let's say that I've living under a rock
Asmongold is a megaphone for shitty opinions. Like I posted elsewhere he'll change his opinion if he gets called out, but the damage was done when he put it on the megaphone in the first place. His take on the "never play defense" is to not have any actual opinions when confronted then just go right back to saying other right wing bullshit.
They tried to kill it? Really? Like, “we must stop this from going forward!” In that way? Why would anyone attempt to stop it?
I still think this is going to fail. But I’m not trying to stop it. I hope it succeeds.
I also find the debate bros involved to be annoying.
Yep they actively campaigned against the petition and fundamentally misrepresented it.
10 months ago PirateSoftware started a campaign against it starting here-ish: https://youtu.be/ioqSvLqB46Y
Also 10 months Asmongold did a react video that supported PirateSoftware: https://youtu.be/AhVsyhjcndw
PirateSoftware refused to acknowledge that he got several things wrong, and even refused to acknowledge it when confronted. He actively bans people with dissenting opinions in his stream so it wasn't surprising that he refused to acknowledge that he was wrong. About a week ago Charlie (aka Penguinz0) confronted him about it and he still refused respond to basic factual inaccuracies: https://youtu.be/6sJpTCitKqw
Ross did a video talking about the whole thing last week as well: https://youtu.be/HIfRLujXtUo
There's a lot more to it, but that's the broad strokes. I hope PirateSoftware's stream keeps declining until he is relegated to complete obscurity. Also, PirateSoftware can eat my entire ass.
Keep pushing. There are probably people using VPNs to sign the petition and those will get purged. Either from idiots who don't know better or AAA studios trying to get people to stop now that it's reached the goal. This is true for both the UK and EU petitions.
The EU page started 404ing for me right when it should have hit 1 mil; are we being trolled?
Edit: nvm worked from desktop. Maybe just hug of death.
It is still getting hugged, I guess people are rushing to add their names now that it is a won battle.
Edit: managed to load at 999,614.
I am a little worried that some of the surge in signatures has been botting, but I sincerely hope I'm wrong.
You need to identify yourself with a state issued form of identification so I doubt botting happened.
Not in every country. In about half of them, you only need to provide a name, address and date of birth.
Sheesh. Was jot aware of that. Still hope people were not dumb enough to bot it.
Some definitely were, but hopefully not too many. There's still almost a whole month left to build up a solid buffer.
Fell asleep, woke up, suddenly there's only 30k left on the EU initiative.
Now it's just 20k
Only 4K!
Only -1800!
Jesus what, a week or so ago this was dead in the water.
Nothing brings the internet together like hating a sexist self centered egotistical narcissist.
Seriously pirate has been an asshole for like 20 years. He's been banned from furry communities, kicked out of second life communities, rejected from eve communities.
Now people are realizing how much of a scum bag he is in the streamer community.
The only upside his asshole self centeredness has draw crazy attention to the partition.
I'm glad I'm not online enough to know of this guy!
Wait what's this story about him being banned from furry communities? That sounds like a really fun story to read lol
Who? I seriously have no idea who you're talking about.
I honestly think that the main reason this has kicked off is that up until about a week ago it wasn't really advertised. I didn't even know that it started the petition up again, I knew the original one failed because parliament closed and for some reason that meant the petition had to end.
PirateSoftware (Thor) is a streamer and a game developer who is a narcissistic asshole. He's been very against the SKG petition since I think the start since if it passed he would be forced to keep supporting his games once they fail (it's happened before) and made a video trying to torpedo the petition some months ago by spreading disinformation that's easily disproven with a halfway decent level of reading comprehension. Recently the guy who runs the SKG petition announced that Piratesoftware was successful, which caused a lot of big streamers and Youtubers to catch on and call PirateSofware out while endorsing SKG, including MoistCritikal. Since then the number of signings have skyrocketed.
99.09%🙏🙏
SIGN THE PETITION DAMMIT 
I American't sign European petitions
no worries, you can help as this will benefit you too. if you are on any online gaming comunities with Europeans, you can share the link.
Awesome! Now let's get the EU one as well, much closer than before now. (840'000)
The Islanders finished there's, but the EU one still has a ways to go!
946,944 currently, it's almost there!
What's funny about this whole thing is it's almost like PirateSoftwares days in EVE Online when he invited everyone to Pochven space cause he thought he was hot shit and then proceeded to get his ass handed to him and he rage quit the game. He brought attention to something that ended up having the opposite effect of what he wanted.
Granted he was absolutely shit at EVE regardless of what he's told his audience. couldn't fit a ship to save his life, ran for CSM and no one voted for him, then rage quit when everyone and even his own corp proceeded to kick his teeth in.
WHAAAT LETSGOOOOO DABABY. Thank you PirateSoftware for the publicity :3
