Right, but this is the issue, and why she isnt right. Rockstar resented Brett for his archetype, not for his character. Hes a straight while male and thus needs to be eradicated for being as such. He was winning because his alliance held the power, and she blamed his archetype for it.

That said since then theyre actually both pretty cordial. Kiss and made up.

The editors are a different story. Thats not Bretts fault and the need to take him out for an example such as that is a seemingly ugly rationale.


Brett, a bland, generic white alpha male, is given credit by the editors for an event that was instigated by Angela, a similarly bland, generic white alpha female. This is but one example of such an occurrence, and it's part of an ongoing trend of men getting credit for women's actions. This creates a feedback loop where men are automatically perceived as bigger threats, leading to positive and negative consequences: positive in that they get a ton of credit and less blowback should they make the endgame, negative in that they're viewed as bigger targets for elimination even if they're less threatening in reality than their female counterparts. So Rockstar, while an obnoxious caricature of what conservatives view all liberals to be, is not wrong about Brett, and the edit of last week's boot is just an example of how society reaffirms her claims.

Right, but dont hold what the editors do against Brett. Just because the editors favored him in this instance doesnt mean Rockstar is right, which was your initial claim.
