surely this time #pinside mods will listen...
note that I had to call it "insecure drivel" instead of "racist bullshit" because the mods absolutely agree with the far-right bigots

@Constababble @ifixcoinops yesterday on #pinball forum #pinside I encountered someone who actually boasted that they worked for the Heartland Institute and him and his buddies were using the forum to spread denialism propaganda.
Was classic rightwing ideological walls: no matter the studies tossed out, they would ignore everything you say and snidely retort with some isolated contextless datum, endlessly gishgalloping in classic propagandist style, unconcerned with coherence.
Mock & Block.

@Austin_Dern called it. Pinside often has high stats on a game when it first hits the Top 100 then people rush in to add their detractor opinions, but I do not see that happening here. The fricking PRO debuts with an 8.927???
I'm gonna need everyone on #pinside to stop whining they don't like Foo Fighters ' music because that's how I literally feel about every music pin, and don't care. It's a new era of pinball

you perhaps won't be surprised to learn that the LGBTQ thread on #pinside got brigaded by people that hate that LGBTQ pinballers don't want to put up with their asshole behaviour.
Bigots get so mad when #pinball isn't a safe space for their ignorant tantrums and trolling.

no matter what how fucked up you think #pinside people can be, nothing can prepare you for this rollercoaster

I had missed this funny joke on #pinside

I kind of bought a #prewar #pinball machine out of spite?
On #pinside I have almost every prewar pin on my wishlist because I wanted to get any market updates. Guy messages me saying he has a Five Star Final Jr for me in Alberta if I want it.
He sends me pic 1, which seems familiar. I subscribe to the Curiosity Inc YT channel (it's a guy in Edmonton who runs an antique store) and I dug through a recent video, see pic 2.
Pics 3 & 4 are crops of 1 & 2.

The thread on Diversity in #Pinball is going as poorly as you'd expect from #pinside

@ifixcoinops What was the drama? Because I just posted THIS thread today and it got shut down in 2 hours because #pinside tends to coddle angry bigots like they were baby birds

Update: the homophobic #pinside moderator that booted me has decided to let the weirdos run wild posting whatever easily debunked conspiracy gibberish Trump is spouting, in case you wanted to know if #pinball people are living up to their awful stereotypes
