There is a huge difference between disagreeing with your audience, and saying that most of your audience are rapists.
As I said, I don't care what anyone says on twitter. It's twitter. Also, I don't believe you for one second.
Disbelieve all you like. Go look at his comments after the airing of that L&O SVU episode.
Yeah, I don't see anything that says "most of my audience is rapists."
Were you really expecting those
exact words? That's a bit dishonest. You should know better.
His audience on The Escapist were largely gamers. Go see what he says about gamers.
This is what's known on the internet as "backpedaling."
Then look up tweets containing terms like "superior world". (Or hell, even "thinkers and believers.) That stuff always creeped me out because it sounds much too similar to what you'd find in works encouraging eugenics. He puts people into these really odd dichotomies and hits a wider range of people than I think he intends to.
Has Bob ever said gaming is full of rapists? Not exactly, though drawing that from the context of a few hundred of his tweets wouldn't be entirely unreasonable. Likewise, it wouldn't be unreasonable to think his definition of misogyny is far too broad.
At the end of the day, if you disagree with him you are - in his words - a right-wing neocon MRA reactionary that is representative of an inferior strain of humanity fighting against the birth of a superior world. He has never strung those words together in that exact order, but spending any amount of time on his twitter should make it abundantly clear how little tolerance he has for diversity of thought. Occasionally I have seen him make small concessions, but it's usually in the form of "You may be an exception, but because you think x you're lumped in with group y and you should change how you think if you don't want to be a horrible person by association."
Some interpretations of what he's said are certainly invalid and some of the minutia is incorrect, but the most relevant thing is that he's often over the top in a way that's poisonous to a brand that wants to cater to a diverse set of people.
