Here’s How Anti-Feminist Trolls Would ‘Save’ Free Speech

2. Almost everyone on twitter is a troll of some kind or another.

I can't say I'm really a fan of what passes for intelligent critique of video games as art, especially on twitter. Of course critics of particular video games receive outsize harassment. I've also seen creators receive just the same kind of harassment the individuals portrayed in this comic receive, because their work is measured against someone else's values and found wanting.

I don't really like any kind of silencing technique, and too often online campaigns are about getting someone fired or threatened into shutting down their social media.

Ideal solution is market driven. Don't buy what you don't like. Once you've told someone you don't like something they have made or written, don't bug them about it anymore.
