Terrible Opinions
Oct 18, 2013




Moviebob's whole schtick from the very beginning was claiming that people who like things he doesn't like are immoral or somehow damaging society. Like literally his first game is about how terrible modern games are for not being like NES games, back when he started 7 years ago.

This is a reblog comic that was linked. it has not been changed or edited in any way. I really don't recommend actually clicking this.
:nws: http://lu-tengs-recliner-of-rage.tumblr.com/post/95247045117/plebcomics-a-mostly-half-assed-comic-of-utmost :nws:

Seriously gently caress you for making me dig this up.

Are you literally shaking? That's not "revenge porn". If that is revenge porn, is drawing a dick on a picture of the president revenge porn? It's quite clearly an insulting joke--clearly on both fronts, it is insulting and it is a joke.

Is it just because it's a woman that you think this is somehow pornographic? Or do you just not find it funny? It's quite bitter, but it's hardly the most hateful joke I have seen on the Internet.

The worst thing about Jon's tweet is that, like an idiot who has never had an actual job, he didn't mark it as NWS.

Also, this is what revenge porn is:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenge_porn posted:

Revenge porn is sexually explicit images or video that is distributed without the consent of the subject.[1] The making of sexually explicit images or video may be made by a partner of an intimate relationship with the knowledge and consent of the subject, or it may be made without their knowledge. The possession of the material may be used by the partner to blackmail the subject into performing other sex acts, or to intimidate them from breaking off the relationship. In the wake of civil lawsuits and the increasing numbers of reported incidents, legislation has been passed in a number of countries and jurisdictions to outlaw the practice, though approaches have varied. The practice has also been described as a form of psychological abuse and domestic violence.[citation needed]

The term "revenge porn" generally refers to the uploading of this sexually explicit material to humiliate and intimidate the subject, who has defied the partner and broken off the relationship.[1] The term is also often misused to describe non 'revenge' scenarios, including nonconsensual pornography distributed by hackers or by individuals seeking profit or notoriety. The images are usually accompanied by sufficient information to identify the pictured individual, typically their name and location, and can include links to social media profiles, home addresses and workplaces.[2][3] Victims' lives can be ruined as a result, the victims exposed to cyber-stalking and physical attack as well as facing difficulties in their workplace should their images become known as a result of routine checks by employers. Some have lost their jobs, while others have been unable to find work at all.[4] Copyright law cannot help if the person who publishes the image also made it.[5]

Which would be pretty hard to do given that Zoe Quinn has already produced pornography of herself and I don't think Jon is going to somehow produce footage of her doing sexual acts for the purposes of humiliating her.

So, everybody,, in the future, to not be libelous, you would say "Jontron retweeted a raunchy joke that was created by somebody unaffiliated with him at the expense of a woman whom he once appeared on a show with and had an insignificant disagreement with and as a result I do not care for him, nor the shows he creates."

The real world will, again tomorrow, function and run without me.


I never claimed it was revenge porn, I said that he retweeted a comic depicting her in a 6 person gangbang. It turned out that he just linked the comic in his tweet. I also claimed that it was JonTron who deleted his tweet but it turned out have been the plebcomics author who deleted the comic, probably because not even she wants to be associated with GG. No, I don't find it funny, plebcomics is not even close to funny, it's even less funny than Control + Alt + Delete because with CAD you can at least laugh at loss.jpg but plebcomics is just some channer trying way, way, way too hard to be edgy.

Nice comment asking if this was causing me a panic attack by the way. Did you come up with that "shaking" line all by yourself? Don't you have any more questions like asking if I'm triggered or ironically saying something about checking ones privilege like a true king of comedy would?

Edit: it's not a "raunchy joke", people were, and still are, using her sexual agency to undermine all her life's accomplishments and trying to use it to ruin her life. The same basis for this joke is the entire foundation for GG. That comic is saying that because of her sexual history none of her complaints are valid and if glorious internet sensation JonTron wants to call her retarded for thinking she has the right to an opinion he should be allowed.

Note: I'm not saying that JonTron called Zoë Quinn retarded, I'm saying that's what the comic that he tweeted our depicted him doing.

I should point out Plebcomics is a lady before the usual "Hah, by thinking that someone who'd make these things would be a dude therefore you're the real racist" argument judo crowd shows up.

I've been having fun with Ross's Game Dungeon. It might be a too screamy or preachy at times, but it's fun to see how much these games are broken down and he tends to be mostly positive and cheerful about it.

I recommend the Test Drive 3 video for a really good first impression and the Nyet 3 one for the sheer amount of nonsense you're about to see played on this series.

His comparisons make absolutely no sense. The only one that comes close is the Skyfall/Dark Knight comparison, and that only holds up for one segment of the film (Silva's crazy escape plan), and the rest of the movie is nothing at all like Batman.

Well come on, I mean we all know that movie trailers are almost universally poo poo these days, but its unfair to compare a modern bond film with the greatest work of fiction ever made.

He is actually allowed to call her retarded, you retard. That's what freedom of speech literally means.

I'm sorry that people making unsubstantiated and seriously libelous accusations of criminal activity or something like it warrants me asking for proof and this is a moral wrong I am committing. This sort of rumor-spreading and hyperbole is disgusting and childish, and I don't think that is even remotely a controversial position to take.

I'm glad "sexually explicit" and "porn" have now become synonymous, to say nothing of "sexually explicit" and "revenge porn". God forbid I cite the actual definition of a term when I criticize somebody for misusing it.

Anyways, the video was okay, I'd like to see if he can rip on creepypasta that slowbeef hasn't done yet, but other than that...it's okay for now.

As typical for Phelous the video is funnier if you watch his review before.

Getting back to internet critics, does anyone listen to "Hey, Do You Remember?" It's a great podcast where they look back at movies, and sometimes tv shows, from their youth. The main host, Chris, almost always has some really entertaining story from his childhood that somehow relates to the movie and they all seem like really nice, down to earth people. Their last episode was on Poltergeist.
