Another one for the “SJWs always lie” book. For some reason, an Ubisoft creative director, self-identified SJW, and anti-GG game designer decided to comment on the fact that Mark Kern, another game designer, had retweeted one of my tweets, the one about American McGee:

So Mark Kern is getting chummy with Vox Day? I suppose it was only a matter of time.University Watch @UniversityWatc1
@Palle_Hoffstein So if you are going to say spiteful things about @voxday & @Grummz #Sayittotheirface Palle #GamerGate
Palle Hoffstein @Palle_Hoffstein
I have spoken to them many times. Settle down.Vox Day @voxday
When have you ever spoken to me? I am afraid I don’t recall.Palle Hoffstein @Palle_Hoffstein
Twitter. A while a ago. Not that memorable for me either.Vox Day @voxday
So once on Twitter is “many times”? Look, if you’ve got criticism, that’s fine. The line is over there.Palle Hoffstein @Palle_Hoffstein
I wasn’t the one who tagged you. I was talking about Kern. If I feel the need I will address you directly, I assure you.Vox Day @voxday
No, you were talking about me. And you have not talked to me many times. So you’ve lied and now tried to dissemble. Why?Palle Hoffstein @Palle_Hoffstein
Look Vox. I didn’t tag you. I didn’t want to talk to you. I can’t imagine anyone ever wants to talk to you. Buzz off.Vox Day @voxday
No, you wanted to talk ABOUT me. I would think as a game designer, you would get how this “social media” thing operates.
My favorite part is the way he shamelessly contradicts himself in a futile attempt to claim the status high ground. First he claims we’ve spoken “many times”, then after it’s clear that I don’t recall ever speaking to him, he tries to claim the one time we did communicate was “not that memorable” for him either.
The funny thing is, I did initially stop and wrack my brain to figure out if I knew him, because I do know several people at Ubisoft in Europe at the higher levels. But what can you do? Gammas gonna gamma. Even very smart ones with very impressive jobs can’t surmount their socio-sexual instincts when pressed.
