Blatantly shutting down the first amendment to protect one pizza joint was my first clue.
Any other restaurant that isn't a chain would just pack it up at this point if there weren't something more to protect than playing ping pong and eating pizza. Move and change the name... done. The name is garbage anyways. If you were opening a pizza joint that also offers ping pong, wouldn't something like 'Ping Pong Pizzeria' be a better name anyways? Why would the name avoid the main service it provides? Table tennis is the central business model here? Really?
Yeah, obviously any popular local hangout would just move and change the name! You know, just break the lease and renovate an entirely new property in a different area and hope you get the same customer base.
You're a real genius, I can see why you're a big Pizzagater.
Yup, been thinking that too. If this starts to get track (local people not defending their favorite pizza place) they might hire actors in order to do appeal that narrative.

Any popular hangout would have dozens of people stepping up, with pictures, calling us stupid.
This is the internet, if you do something stupid, they rub your fucking nose in it for months.
Yet this has not happened. No one has come out and said "the pizza is great!!" or "no i play galaga there".
Instead it is just really creepy shit.
