This is really all there is to it. His lovely attempt at humor tanked the viewer count and almost completely halted donations for the entirety of his run. Almost a quarter of the viewers just quit watching the stream after he started up, he was that bad. He was actively compromising SGDQs ability to raise money for charity, which I suppose the shitheads objecting to the "SKELETON suppression of his FREE SPEECH" don't care about.

This really gets to the problem with these people. They honestly think they are the silent majority being oppressed by shrill SJWs who everyone totally secretly hates but are afraid to stand up against. They do not seem to get that edgy offensive poo poo during a charity stream is actually offensive to the majority and that everyone isn't sitting around going "heh kill yourself lol"

During his run the live audience they have just goes completely silent in shocked incredulity and some just got up and left. His showing was so poor that he was banned from all GDQ events, runner or otherwise. But I guess that's just how deep the SJW Illuminati goes and he's really the next George Carlin.

Well yeah--they don't feel powerful, therefore they can't possibly ever do anything that truly impacts someone else, but other people frequently (in their perception) oppress and bully them by criticizing them, which (because they don't feel powerful) they can't recover from.

It's not an ideology for people who feel like they have a lot of power in society.

It's not even that it was edgy or offensive (it was), it was that he was super annoying about it. One joke about it at one point would've not been an issue, but he apparently (I turned it off because he was so goddamn annoying) wouldn't stop with it, and thought it was the height of comedy. Even if he did find that poo poo funny, he's gotta know his audience. I think GDQ is watched by a ton of ordinary people who aren't obsessed with Internet culture or 4chan or whatever the gently caress. Tons of other speedrunners seem pretty normal, so this guy was very much out of place.

Most people don't know or care about their dumb Internet culture, and it creeps ordinary folk out, even those that love video games.

There's also the aspect that Jews are useful as a 'model minority' to the white Christian supremacists. By holding up the Jews as a minority that nonetheless manages to 'succeed' despite massive persecution, they imply that the failure of blacks and Hispanics to thrive in the US is their own fault rather than structural racism.

I have never heard this sentiment expressed among my evangelical relatives. Jews are pretty much just white people to them at this point. The Jewish infatuation is mostly tied to End Times prophecy and the fact that Israel kills lots of Muslims.

I saw some stuff on reddit that maybe he was extremely nervous or on the spectrum or something similar. It doesn't excuse the behavior at all, but provides a lens perhaps. For a bunch of people who worship the free market, they do have a lot to say about private entities taking actions that benefit the entity.

There's always some dumb drama surrounding GDQ; they were probably tangentially related to the Twitch policy of requiring shirts because it can be a less sleezy cam site and being able to point to a bunch of dudes taking off their shirts and flexing is a perfect thing to point to for a "why do men get to do it?" argument (which is legit). Actual drama in past years involved dudes getting really pushy around women in general and being generally inappropriate.

Something very ironic occurred to me.

This New Right Economist fella is upset because his extreme fringe belief of Neo-Reactionarianism AKA "Dark Enlightment" is frequently discarded by popular society. He finds he is unable to enjoy things because all of his media is constantly awash with messages and experiences that make him, as a neo-reactionary, feel like an outsider. He was wants society and media to bend to his narrow interpretation of what is appropriate so as to make sure he is not made uncomfortable or upset by what he sees.

Who does he sound like?

Yeah, that seems to be one of the driving factors of the whole SJW "issue". The internet has become a dramatically more populous and interconnected place in the last decade. The people who in a way used to have the run of the place in relatively insular communities that reinforced their views are now confronted with the fact that a large part of society does not actually condone their poo poo. So now they run with the SJW clichee so that they can pretend that any disagreement they face stems from outside agitators with an ulterior agenda that can be easily dismissed.

I caught a little bit of Erick Erickson yesterday, and he said that by waiting until after the midterm elections of his second term, Obama was showing that Kenya "hurt" him. In that if he had gone at any time before now, the blowback by birthers and Tea party nuts could have hurt the chances of other Democrats. Which I think is pretty accurate, and may be one explanation if the story doesn't gain any traction.

quote:

Almost immediately, World Wrestling Entertainment fired the wrestler. But Obama has also been heard using the “n-word,” and some are wondering why it’s OK for President Obama to use the word while Hulk Hogan loses his career over it.

Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, was fired last week and even had his entire career with the WWE erased from the entertainment company’s website, after the video showing him uttering a string of racial epithets, including the n-word, was made public.

On the other hand, readers may recall that President Obama also used the n-word during a discussion on race in America on a comedian’s podcast published at the end of June.

The dichotomy has some fans wondering why Hogan can be fired when even President Obama has used the same word?

It appears that Hogan is also wondering why this is the case. On Sunday, a Twitter user named Wolfshead Online tweeted the following: “Bi-racial President Obama uses N word, is applauded and keeps his job. @HulkHogan uses N word, is vilified and loses his job.”

After the Twitter user posted his confusion over why Hogan got fired while Obama was praised for using the same word, Hogan was quite appreciative and responded with a series of favorable tweets, thanking the user and thanking all those Hogan fans who still support him.

As soon as the tweets became widely known, dozens of Twitter users attacked Wolfshead Online for his defense of Hogan and his questioning of Obama’s use of the n-word.

Ultimately, after a day of Twitter users finding the tweet and attacking him, Wolfshead Online deleted his account and disappeared from Twitter.

The thing about fictional characters is that there's no real chance of "relationship failure" like there is in real life relationships. The problem with a lot of anime and gaming fandoms is that there's usually not somebody there telling you to pump your brakes whenever you are taking it too far. I guess people that obsess over games and anime don't really handle rejection or failure that happens in day to day life. It turns out that you actually have to put in some work and are going to gently caress up in the pursuit of women, or for that matter pretty much anything in life. Jerking off to anime titties in private doesn't really carry that risk of rejection in a way. It's not that big of a leap to start blaming women and society for your problems if you can't accept rejection or failure.

So it's the anime waifu worship that leads to the hate of real women?

I think the love of anime and the hate of women almost fuel each other, but I would say that is the like of anime that starts it. He's young, impressionable, and socially awkward. He sees anime and begins to think it's good. He's never been good with women, that's a given. Now he begins watching anime and sees characters that are similar to him with many interesting (to him) girls suddenly fawning over that character. These girls are of course caricatures and act nothing like any real woman would. The problem is that these characters are designed to be incredibly appealing. So Mr young anime fan starts to compare real women to his anime women, and of course a real woman just can't measure up to his fantasy, so he begins to feel resentment towards real women. Like it's their fault for not being perfect like his fantasy women. He of course doesn't see "doesn't exist" as a negative anymore. His resentment of real women then only fuels his desire to watch more anime and get even deeper into his fantasy. This of course only fuels his resentment of real women even more, which drives him deeper into anime, etc, etc.

It's not just anime of course. It can happen with any fiction really. Heck, it even happens with real life celebrities, but of course a fantasy personality is superimposed over that celebrities actual personality.

It's very sad.

Way back in the mists of time, one of the Akward, ugly and gross POF threats had a guy who was obsessed with going to Japan because they would accept his weird, anime loli loving pedo self. He would go on and on about how Japan was more accepting, that anime was everywhere, so the values that anime had were Japanese values. He gets over there as an English teacher and is super surprised that everyone thinks he's super weird and creepy over there too. He eventually got deported because on his blog he started posting stuff like "I think I'm over 6 year olds, more into 3 year olds now" and anime images of adult men with younger children with "support love" and "Its not a crime, its love".
