I’m sure there’s a word for this: political ideologues turning on one of their own who does not show sufficient zealotry in all the right fields of popular fanaticism.

Wil Wheaton Has a Listening Problem

Wil Weaton, actor, nerd, far left fanatic, has suddenly become a target of the SJWs. He has committed at least two sins, by the article linked above:

1) He was on Twitter but bailed a month ago because he couldn’t stand that Twitter had not yet censored Alex Jones (there are lots of good reason to avoid Twitter, but the fact that they allow offensive goofballs to say their piece seems an odd one). So he was also on Mastodon (full disclosure: I’ve no idea what that is, but assume it’s akin to Twitter) and, like a good little Leftist, could not bear to be exposed to opposing views, specifically in the realm of “Gamergate.” So he signed up for a list that would block certain addresses. The problem here is that while the list was originally ideologically pure, over time the woman controlling the list has added a lot of “trans” people. Why? because she’s a “TERF,” a “Trans Exclusionary Reactionary Feminist.” If you have not heard of TERFs, they are sort of the Final Boss of  Intersectionality… they are the feminists so hateful of anyone not what they consider women, they can’t stand “trans women.” So it turned out that Wil Wheaton had (unknowingly) blocked a lot of trans women… a damnable mortal sin by the measure of most non-TERF SJWs.

2) He was a friend of Chris Hardwick. Simply having once been Hardwicks friend was doubtless enough to get him on The List of many an SJW once Hardwick was accused of bad behavior by a woman he had dated. But Wheaton ratcheted up the Pure Evil by not immediately throwing Hardwick under the bus and disavowing him. The fact that AMCs investigation of Hardwick apparently turned up nothing, and that no evidence against Hardwick seems to have come to light and a lot of evidence in his favor, and a number of his former girlfriends/wives, have come out in support of him, is not enough to get Wheaton off the hook. He did not instantly turn on a guy who was accused of something, so Wheaton is by SJW logic a villain.

Keep it up, SJWs! Keep purging the impure. Good luck, we’re all counting on you!
