A nïggerfæggot (Griftpoint) RT splashed on my timeline but the content is really good:
This is old stuff by now but it shows Leaflit integrity and points a finger on some issues that persist to this day, I think it's worth watching it entirely for the full context but its can be summarized to:
- This all happened around June 2020.
- Used to have a debate channel at the peak of BLM movement, leftist Schizo got upset about being owned, started an ad nominem after someone said "people acting like monkeys" calling it racism, Leaflit entered the argument to calm it down, Schizo then decided to start an anti-campaign reporting her everywhere.
- Got nuked from every possible platform, including but not only Discord, Twitter, Instagram, sponsors, game accounts, the list might be large.
- Community manager of a partner game she used to play reached out, tried to snake it in some lingo to make her publicly apologize for being racist, something she wasn't and still isn't. She didn't take it well, talked them down and compromised on never saying the word "monkey" on stream again.
- Right after that, Bloons TD6 came out and she made it a meme to not being able to say the word monkey, and her mom started using "saru" instead.
- Starts talking about the Hogwarts Legacy, points out that there are Discord servers that coordinate collabs and who "to not associate with", basically showing light at the cliques (this was known for a while).
- Friends caught in the middle of that informed her of the bad apples and people talking shit behind her back, doesn't name them but words it strongly on how she knows even if she still talk and smile at them.
- Got told to donate to a trans charity for penance, answered with "I ain't doing shit, I'm not donating a single penny to something just because someone told me to do it". Regrets a little because in hindsight it would be a good business decision.
- Jokes on Twitter clout chasers (hi Froot) saying "hey guys! I'm an ally! I'm a friend!".
- The clip ends with her saying she doesn't care about that stuff and that's who she is.
Leaflit has always threaded her own path by just doing her thing and she really do help a lot of people with gamedev and other stuff. Not common of her to stir shit but I think this was due because of some people's distorted perception. She's also a very dope guntuber, I know there's a lot of people here fond of them.
Here's her shitting on the ATF:
