The point is
she is shitting on the young people, while complaining about others shitting on the older people.
This is the same exact thing except one group targets her and the other does not....
Notice she calls others out for generalizing and stereotyping, people based on her age and age group yet, now is doing the same to young folks....
The same younger crowd she pretends and uses to be friends with to either get your story or troubles for her next writing massacre, primary the SJW KIDS

Must be an April Fool's joke: People who blocked and/or unfriended me after years of being my friend, who during an emotionally devastating and truly vile hate campaign against me in CAG joined in and supported my harassers, now send me friend requests. Some send apologies.Others send emails expressing regret over their involvement or lack of support at the time. That's fine. But I have no forgiveness for them.
See, that harassment campaign, and as awful as it was year after year, was a gift in that it afforded me the opportunity to notice just who my friends were. My friends were the ones who protested the mob; the people who in spite of risking becoming targets of the mob themselves, or being ostracized from the central social leaders in CAG including TG, stood up and supported me regardless of impending backlash or lost opportunity. One person turned down a project worth thousands of dollars simply because it would benefit one of the attackers. Another turned down an investment offer and others, including promoters, reneged event and press support of groups and/or individuals involved or abetting the mob. Others reneged support of the CAG scene altogether not wanting to be associated with groups that condone bigotry and harassment. Those people are my friends. Those are the people who were there, through thick and thin, when I needed them the most.
My friends are strong, intelligent, compassionate and talented people who have a moral backbone and respect for themselves and the communities they support. My friends don't sell out to groupthink or kiss the backside of others just to fit into a clique, avoid confrontation or appear like a "peace keeper". My friends know neutrality on certain issues affecting people negatively is an action of acceptance.
I've no use in my life for anyone who doesn't have those qualities.

Catherine DeSpira Same here, Phil. You've "been there" for me. In fact, that's how I met you. You were a complete stranger who saw what was happening, reached out when I was at my lowest, and offered me friendship and support. You're an amazing person....and my buddy smile emoticon The real deal.

Michael Thomasson I know the following statement may not be popular, but "there is always room for forgiveness." One can forgive without forgetting...

Catherine DeSpira Men -and some women- who helped incite and/or supported the actions of others bent on hurling destruction and threats of violence towards me are not deserving of forgiveness. I hope they reap what what they sowed...and then some.

Michael Thomasson .. and that is one reason why some people love you. Still, forgiveness works better for me. Good for the soul.

Catherine DeSpira I have a bounty of forgiveness. But people predisposed to getting high off cruelty and by being bystanders to undertakings of senseless and often unlawful proceedings by inflicting dehumanizing defamation and underhanded sabotage -actual sadists- get zero from me...or sympathy.

Michael Thomasson Well, I wrote at the beginning that words wouldn't be popular. I'm not preaching and I'm in no way judgemental, as I'm not qualified wink emoticon

Catherine DeSpira No, you're fine. You're a very moral and just man. Perhaps far more enlightened than I am for that very same reason. Maybe one day I'll rise above it all and let the ashes cool. But for now, and for a very long time since, there's still a red hot coal in my heart.

Ron Alpert Haven't you realized by now that A. The majority of people who post on forums of any sort are bored and snarky and like to piss off as many people as humanly possible, B. Modern-era gamers (millennials and younger) are sniveling pandered-to entitled little snots (not all of them, but definitely most of them, and likely because of how the current state of the industry and marketplace has been shaping them the last 15 years or so), and C. The cross-breed of the above two is just gonna be the opposite of a good time no matter how you slice it. (But hey... I ain't jaded)

Catherine DeSpira Someone posted this and the it disappeared. A fine piece of writing. I'm reposting it from copy and past and re-adding it...because it rocks : P.S. Never be afraid to speak your mind, wise poster. Good writing never displeases me.
"Catherine, this is exactly what I've talked about before. To talk of TG is to talk of a past that is long dead. It was noble once but now long since corrupted by poisonous vipers writhing with sick humorless viral bullshit that infects a few unsuspecting fools driving out what was once good for the body but leaving behind cancerous tumors who will find an empty room devoid of interest and then what will Jace have? What will "Krysti" and her bff "Rudy" have remaining? His worthless "undisputed" self-crowned prince of shameless worthless self-propelled self-centered self-contained self-contradictory self-ISH self-promoting poison. And it wields many names over the generations.
As sure as no one cares or remembers who won the only XFL super bowl ever, no one is going to give two shakes on a dead rat's turdhole what the "greatest asshole ever" EVER did with a gamepad in his (or her) grubby little paws.
Sooner or later they will run out of people in his madhouse audience. Then what?
It's time to let the vehicle Walter made and loved to go to the crap heap and start over I guess...hopefully something more positive and what a community should be."
