Clutches mini's tightly! [Not OP]

Wait, do you think women would be impressed by my hand painted warhammer figurines because that would change everything
- The right one will.
  
  My wife was impressed with my miniatures when I showed her honestly. There’s seriously more chicks that appreciate that shit than the internet would have you believe.
  
  Can confirm. My fiance and I hit it off after an hour long conversation about skyrim lore.

Can someone please enlighten an ignorant Brit on why people are commenting about leftists and Democrats in response to a screenshot of a somewhat lame joke about 40k?
- The user who tweeted the take is a political commentator, or maybe influencer would be a better term. There's a Wikipedia page about her that explains it better than I can.
  Basically she rose to fame as an anti-feminist during Gamergate, but kinda also seems to have progressive views on some other topics which have given her a weird platform because basically no matter what side of the political spectrum they're on there's something for anyone to agree with her on, and something they'd want to cancel her over.
- The OP in the Tweet, Sh0eOnHead (https://www.youtube.com/user/Shoe0nHead), is a Youtuber who claims to be leftist but spends half her time dismantling leftist talking points. It makes a lot of people very polarized about her.
  
  I dunno, that sounds pretty on par for leftist online discourse.
  
  “I’m a democrat/liberal, but…” is a tried and true method of conservative dismantling liberal talking points. Sure, as liberals we are far more openly critical of our leadership than conservatives are of theirs, and we regularly voice those concerns. But that isn’t our entire discourse, and we just as openly support liberal policy and leadership where it’s deserved. If someone's entire schtick revolves around criticizing democrats or liberal policy without supporting good policy or people, they’re not liberal. They’re just a waste of time.
  
  That actually makes me like her. Being critical of your own views.
  Nothing more that I despise than people who choose a side of an argument just because it's "their side". Have a back bone. It's okay to switch sides on certain subjects. Being an extremist is being a moron.
- Everything is political now, haven’t you heard? The sun is woke and the moon is a nazi.
  
  this is insane. the sun is a nazi, the moon is a woke antifa womynista

Shoe just shits on people for engagement. She doesnt have any core belief other than "I am the smartest one in the room"
- She definitely made a name for herself based on criticizing vocal minorities in groups, but 1. This is a joke Tweet and 2. Her core beliefs are actually leftist which seems to scare Democrats
  
  Leftist? Her most recent video is her shitting on women as a whole group and straw-manning "dating strategies" as a way to drive more chauvinistic engagement. And the "its just a joke bro" defense is so hackneyed im surprised to hear anyone trot it out in good faith.

Yes I am a whore. That will be 10$/h for each mini you stared at

Fuck shoeonhead
- What she do?
  
  All of this.
  Basically a Dave Rubin style "larping liberal" that just repeats alt right wing talking points.
  
  She's a centrist populist so the left and right both hate her (for different reasons).

Dang, this thread is proof that leftists who criticize the Democrats will be labeled alt-right
- It helps when there's some obvious consistency to your beliefs. I've shat on Dems a lot since the last election, both here and on Bluesky, and mostly get upvotes and likes for it.

Wait that doesn't make sense. Warhammer 40k minis are cool, and she is not.
Playing tank & mech battles with grown men is interesting, and she is not.
Is she implying that men aren't interested in anything? Including women? Because I find women very interesting. I might be single, but that's because right now I'd rather paint minis and work out then have conversations with a shoe.
- She's showing the double standard that (some) men believe women don't have hobbies
  
  You gotta be shitting me.
  There are men who believe women don't have hobbies?

shoe is proof the left grifts too. fuck shoe.
- It's it a grift if she actually believes what she says? I get the vibe from her that she's sincere but has a bunch of bad opinions and isn't smart or introspective enough to realize or at least realize quickly.
  
  Could anyone fill me in on what she believes? The post here seems to be sarcasm given the context (I remember of how she talks in videos)?
  
  I'd say we can safely count it as a grift if someone gets paid for spreading inaccuracies, which then motivates them to not bother correcting themselves, yes.
- Nah, she's just the first step on the alt-right pipeline. For those in denial
  
  she was my first step to the left way back when, only reasion ik who she is.
- The alt-right is "left" now?
- Would have guessed they are left based on the US flag profile pic.
- Proof is not needed that a human will grift. Babies already display knowledge of unfairness among their daycare classmates.#
