I talked about Little Hitler Ian Miles Cheong’s recent conversion to a (seemingly) rational human on Twitter earlier tonight. This is a curious turn of events, to say the least. I’d seen him begin to take this turn over the last few weeks, but I didn’t really feel it was noteworthy until last night. He took a shit on The Mary Sue and called out a terrible review of The Witcher 3. Then, he went in on Jonathan McIntosh pretty much all night long. Still, I wouldn’t buy anything this deceitful motherfucker tries to sell. He’s a phony, and if the wind blows the other direction, he’ll change his rhetoric again. It’s like a politician trying to get on the winning train before it’s too late.

On the other hand, I can’t blame him for finally getting fed up with the pompous McIntosh.

Here he is on Game of Thrones first (part of the evolution I talked about):

TV shows don't exist to provide people with role models. Get with the program, people. — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) May 18, 2015

"The Avengers AOU is not feminist enough!" "Mad Max Fury Road is too feminist!" Maybe these people should be watching different films. — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) May 15, 2015

Why are people so full of shit? The Witcher 3's women don't have the same body type nor do the dress the same. pic.twitter.com/nvw79JzqcZ — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) May 19, 2015

Just like every other claim that comes from ant-gamers. Little Hitler DESPERATE to get off the train. #GamerGate pic.twitter.com/Ts6vN5BMRR — Ethan Ralph (@TheRalphRetort) May 20, 2015

And holy shit, I just saw this one. WHO IS THIS GUY?? Trashing The Mary Sue now?#GamerGate pic.twitter.com/UxQePFemC4 — Ethan Ralph (@TheRalphRetort) May 20, 2015

To be clear, there is a difference between honest criticism and outrage. Outrage is bullshit. — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) May 15, 2015

(lol, what? It’s kinda funny to see you say that.)

I wonder if people ever get tired of being outraged over movies. Don't like em–don't watch them, maybe? Just a thought. — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) May 15, 2015

God forbid a studio like Ubisoft listen to feedback from players and implement something good for a change. "PANDERING." "EXPLOITING." — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) May 15, 2015

(Defends Ubisoft too!!)

It's perfectly fine if you don't like Mad Max: Fury Road but for fucks sakes don't call people who enjoy it "filmically illiterate." — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) May 20, 2015

(Dumps on #FullMcIntosh as well…haha this is an insane change of posture.)

Still going in on Jonny Boy:

That's the thing, isn't it? Some critics want all the games and movies they consume to be regressive so they can share hot takes on Twitter. — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) May 20, 2015

Can't wait to be told that I'm "ludically illiterate" for liking The Witcher 3. That'll be fun. — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) May 20, 2015

"You can be a fan and still be critical. You can enjoy problematic content." *proceeds to shit on everyone for having different views* — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) May 20, 2015

He even talks a bit of shit to Saint Anita:

Fury Road is different from many action films in that it lets some women participate as equal partners in a cinematic orgy of male violence. — Feminist Frequency (@femfreq) May 19, 2015

Re:Mad Max-To claim violence is "masculine" by nature is a bit like saying women exist to be nurturers. I thought we were over gender roles? — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) May 20, 2015

Some people are sheep who will parrot anything the people they place on pedestals say, taking it as if it's the gospel truth. — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) May 20, 2015

This is a fairly stunning turn of events. But as others warned on Twitter, just because he’s going at these nutcases here, doesn’t mean he should be praised. After all, FullMac and Anita are so far out there with this Mad Max shit, that anyone with even one quarter of a brain should call them on it. I loved the movie as well. Good cinema is good cinema, no matter who consulted on it, or it’s supposed messages (which I didn’t even see in my reading of the film).

So while it’s good to see him go after the scammers, I’d still advise everyone to hold off on the coronation. Remember, this is the same person who blamed gamers for his Nazism. Perhaps if he issued a sincere apology for that, we could take him a bit more seriously. Until then, I hope he continues to flay Anita and Jihad Jon. It sure was funny as hell.
