GenCon is a gaming convention held every year in Indiana. Naturally, this means people go there for one reason and one reason only: to be preached at. Recognizing this, GenCon organizers threatened to move future events out of state as a response to a recent anti-abortion bill.
Some chud named Tim Waters (who I guess is a professor? Weird) wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post arguing that maybe instead people who go to gaming cons would prefer to focus on, y'know, gaming. That maybe turning every single event into a place to advance an agenda doesn't make for a healthy society. That maybe people play tabletop games to ESCAPE from the real world. All in all it's a pretty tame op-ed that only the truly deranged could find offense over.
Enter Wil Wheaton.
Wil, who you may remember from getting absolutely wrecked on r/drama back when it was good, is completely, utterly, indescribably butt-blasted over this article. Apparently suggesting that people may want to go 5 minutes without having DNC talking points shoved in their face is LITERALLY FASCISM YOU GUYS. If we don't bombard you with progressive politics 24/7 then everyone might as well be wearing a Klan hood. Showcasing just how little self-awareness he has, Wil even calls the author a fragile crybaby because apparently self-reflection is also fascism.
Seriously, guys, PLEASE go read the op-ed and then Wil's response. The dis-proportionality is mind-blowing, and frankly I think Tim Waters needs to be offered a mod position here immediately.

Wil Wheaton is such a pathetic shell of a man. I want to fight him with one hand tied behind my back so I can humiliate him. Of course I imagine it's difficult to humiliate this pathetic husk more than he already has been, after having MasterLawlz teabag him so publicly on the Internet.

The most hilarious thing about this is his attitude that he doesn't ever have to compromise, that him and his people are going to take over everything and dictate their terms to the other 90% of the population. He imagines he's like an Afrikaner in apartheid South Africa or an Alawi in Syria who can control the rest of the population through force. B-word, please. The last battle Wil fought was with a plate of Belgian waffles and he lost when he went into a sugar coma.

Child actors, not even once.

It's not child actors. Mickey Rooney was a good actor as an adult. Roddy McDowell was great in serious roles on TV in the 1960s. Heck, Clint Howard is weird-looking and he's done great work all his life. The problem is that WW is a massive cute twink who couldn't accept that his greatest success was as a kid in Stand By Me and he should settle into a comfortable life taking advantage of that. Instead he's just constantly moping "I deserve more (except I don't because I'm white!)". If he didn't have the worst, most loathsome personality of anyone on the planet he could have a perfectly fine living as an actor right now.

He never has recovered from being laughed at by
@MasterLawlz
He probably wakes his wife up at night crying while thinking about how being so thinned skinned has ruined his life and career.
Then in the morning, invigorated by his ritual soy latte and seeded toast with avocado spread, reads an article on the the internet about how nobody wants to talk about abortion rights while playing fantasy pretend. He just can't help himself, the seeth is all he has left.
