It's not even cognitive dissonance at this point because they honestly see "SJWs" as evil. That's why this is so damn difficult.

To me, the most hilarious part of this whole thing is Lucky looking at his computer and thinking "we're losing the war of lulz, time to stimulate the meme machine" before writing his emboldened post.

Pretty weak.

He's not NimbleRichMan? Doesn't that absolve him of mostly everything people are pissed about?
He told the Daily Beast that he posted under NimbleRichMan so unless the Daily Beast is bullshitting us, one of the two parties is lying.
As one of the very few Phil Fish defenders, this makes me smile.
I'd be weird if they were bullshitting considering they were the ones who broke this story to begin with.

I haven't followed any of this stuff. I'm just asking questions. Both parties are the same.

These fake ass apologies are so fucking weak. He's not apologizing for his behavior, he can stick it up his ass. He's apologizing for how it makes oculus look. Chump!

Well to believe his take we would need to think that his social media history was also a mistake and that he gave $10,000 to a group that he knew nothing about. And that's taking him at his word that the direct quotes that the Daily Beast attributed to him are false. If they are false, that is the world's easiest Libel case so we should hear about a lawsuit soon or at the very least, see the Daily Beast issue a retraction. I am not holding my breath.
Cause they made an exclusive deal with Sony lol
No, he admits to the worst thing, which is donating to Nimble America.

That quote from the Daily Beast sounds fishy.
He was given a password by the organization? So they controlled the account. Not him.Daily Beast said:
EscoBlades
Ubisoft Marketing

The reporter in question answered with his email correspondence with Luckey.
Given those answers, Luckey did not create the account originally, but the posts are definitely in his own words. So either he lied in that correspondence, didn't understand the questions, or is lying now.
I find it almost completely implausible that Luckey donated 10,000 dollars, doesn't deny having access to the Nimble account listed as a VP on their web site.... but somehow still didn't write the posts and has no connection to Nimble America. Give me a break. Lying about stupid shit is making this ridiculous.

Bullshit meter says... bullshit on that FB spin.
The alt-right have always been "professional victims". They are the most hypocritical projecting individuals in existence.

Palmer Lucky possibly lying... hah, surely you jest.

Yeah, this is a garbage apology, and I have to wonder if he's being truthful about the posts on reddit.
Edit: Just caught up, yeah he's lying.
Good move.
Gaming side found an video of Palmer leaving a Trump rally apparently.
Guy really not having a great day.

They posted even more evidence, and wow, palmer gets specific and he has the balls to issue that statement saying its not him.
Par for the course for Republican-leaning people when they get put under a hot lamp and exposed. That "personal responsibility" shit goes right out the window. Deny even in the face of clear and overwhelming evidence. He's learned well.
whoops.

I know im new posting here, but Let's keep this section of the board to politics. Something we all enjoy. Let's not let games get involved with a thing we all enjoy.
Are we positive this is even Luckey???
But what about Killary weaseling her way out of the email scandal!?!?
Holy shit there's a gaming side?
wut
Bravo!

more like Lucky's Tall Tale amirite?
Alt-right Hillary shitposting often includes a #WhiteGenocide hashtag.
Maybe a funding a call-everyone-beta-cuck org? A 'Feminism is Cancer' org? A Milo based fat shaming org?
It's all for the lulz.

Because they are both true and this gives us a nice way of differentiating the two threads.

the worst part of the reddit post is when he said he 'worked his way to the top'. :|
Probably because in the Neogaf OT, being an "anti Hilary shit posting org" is seen as much much worse

I see he's going with the classic "despite giving $10,000 to a pro-Trump group I'm actually a Johnson supporting libertarian" defense.
Ok Nimble-Man, let's see you tap dance your way out of this.
