Bernie Sanders' Second Life Headquarters Besieged by Trump-Supporting Swastikas (vice.com)
Wagner James Au, writing for Motherboard (edited and condensed):As Donald Trump continues to ride roughshod over much of the United States, there are multiple reports that Trumps' virtual fans are riding roughshod on Bernie Sanders' unofficial headquarters in Second Life as well. Sanders' spot is in the sim (Second Life region) of Caspoli, with a Bernie 2016 banner that can be seen from satellite. It's a Roman-themed hangout space in a peaceful meadow, where Bernie supporters often gather to share news of their favorite candidate. But lately, the place has been besieged by pro-Trump griefers. [...] During a Bernie rally in Second Life, Sanders support group member Macaria Wind goes on, Trump-supporting demons flew around Bernie's rally, endlessly typing "TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!" into text chat.
Are we sure that all of this wasn't a PR stunt designed to let people know that Second Life is still a thing that apparently still exists?
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.

At least he was in a TV station so he didn't threaten any innocent people.
I still half-suspect that Clinton asked Trump to run in order to screw up the Republican party so she had a better chance of winning (which explains his "I-don't-give-a-shit-about-electability-or-the-moral-event-horizon" rhetoric), but then the strategy backfired when Trump realized he had an actual shot to win.

How about the one where I kept getting killed by some idiot who would camp at the spawn points? Or how about the one where my neighbor got duped out of a bastard sword or whatever.
I mean seriously , this story isn't much more than people being mean in a game. Does slashdot need its safe space or something?
