I knew he was trash before the Rebecca Watson affair. I've hated the big-A Atheists (as a small-a atheist) for pretty much their entire existence. They're all, without exception, arrogant assholes with a fetish for control and humiliation of others. Not a single one of them counts, IMO, as a virtuous human being.

They're just atheist-flavoured assholes like how the really loud fundy Christians are just Christian-flavoured assholes.

    I actually really appreciate Richard Dawkins, because for a while as a teenager, I was a bit of an asshole atheist, and Richard Dawkins was like a cautionary story for me

    I had heard of him, but I hadn't actually heard from him. I knew of the Atheist community at the time but just wasn't involved in it enough to know or care much. Gamergate was my first real introduction to them and I honestly felt lucky because it seemed like a lot of people really looked up to a bunch of people that turned out to be huge bigots. Easy for me to say after the fact, but your assessment seems to be wholly accurate.
