Last night, I had an interesting stream, to say the least. We talked about the GamerGatePlus joke that I blew up on Twitter yesterday, and went through some of the various beefs I had with people who aren’t worth mentioning at this point. I thought things were going well, and we were all having a lot of fun…until things took a turn for the worst. I don’t often apologize for the things I write or say, because, well…I’m not sorry about them. But this is one occasion where I can honestly say I took things a little bit too far. 

The reason I took down the stream is I shouldn’t have went off on @CuckenJohnson (a.k.a. KingofPol) the way that I did. I was riffing in an absurdist manner, and didn’t mean what I said about him wanting to kill all the Jews. But he took it to heart, and I’m sorry that it’s affected him in that way. I’ve apologized to him publicly already on Twitter, but it bears repeating: I’m sorry.

One thing that always keeps me going, are my friends. There are some great people who always have my back, and their support means a lot to me. @Neirdan, for example, has been giving me great advice for almost a year now. I should have listened to him a little bit more, to say the least. @Duckspeakeasy is a great friend as well, and is always there to lend an ear or drop some knowledge on me. LIVE show regulars @Mattaconda and the lovely @LaughReader are always there for me, even when I’m being an ass. There are so many more of you as well: @ibbibby, ,  @HiddenTara, @King_of_random,  @ramzaruglia, @ChristiJunior, and many, many more. In fact, I’m not even going to spotlight all the people who have reached out to me over the last 24 hours. For one, it would take a long ass time. And also, I don’t want people who would rather not speak on this sort of thing publicly to catch heat. There’s some closet Ralph fans, is all I will say (lol).

One thing I would like to come out of all this, though, is some sense of cooperation coming back to GamerGate. I know that I go at people hard, and I’m not sorry at all for what I said yesterday on stream to the people who have been trying to tear me down. They can still get fucked. But the point is, we need to get back to working together on big operations and the like. Hell, even just some information sharing among the factions would be nice. The GamerGatePlus thing was a joke, but there are real divisions within GamerGate. The people saying this is anti-GamerGate trolling, or some “gaslighting” (lmfao) attempt, are dead wrong. I don’t know else to say it. That doesn’t make them bad people, but it’s just not an accurate portrayal of the situation.

I’m not sorry for the way I run my site. I’m don’t feel guilty about the things I’ve written. I always strive to better, and I always tell it to you guys straight. That will continue. Last night, I was wrong to be aggressive towards friends on stream, and I shouldn’t have imbibed during the show. But, these things can happen. All you can do, is take your lumps, and move on. So, that’s what I’m going to do. I’ll have some guest posts up later, and will be back to a full schedule this weekend. Thank you, once again, for reading TheRalphRetort.com. The patronage of the readers here means just as much to me as the names I mentioned above (more, really). We have a great community on this site, and I hope it continues for a long time to come.
