   Patreon Caves to Tim Pool and the Alt-Right, Bans 'Its Going Down' Website
   – 'Despite the picture painted by Conte, Patreon has deactivated our account due to pressure from the Alt-Right – full stop. As we will show, Patreon has acted with a complete lack of professionalism; it not only broke under pressure from the Alt-Right but moreover used information handed to them from a group which openly embraces white supremacy and fascism, and lastly, it has sent a message to everyone that uses and donates on Patreon, that if you piss off the Alt-Right, you might be next...'

     Hoo boy. While I might have some harsh words for some of the things IGD promotes, as far as I'm aware they don't promote murder in any form (unlike white nationalists). I'm still holding out hope that it's possible to talk sense into Patreon, to have them take a principled stand against white nationalism.
     
     I've also seen this Tim Pool fellow before, but he seemed more reasonable at that time. Seems he's gone full apologist now
