That's a real lovely thing to do. It reinforces the narrative that LGBTQ stuff is not normal/inherently sexual.

Same thing happened with anything involving candid talks about depression, other mental illnesses and suicide.

Is this a new thing? A lot of ad stuff is overly and unthinkingly strict just because most of the time nobody pitches a fit over content not shown, but three jillion assholes go nuclear at the possibility that they might have to explain to Aydyn or Lakynn why that man kissed that other man, or that their little angel had to briefly be aware that suffering exists.

Hypothetical angry consumers: the real drivers of subject matter.

i am willing to bet this is more because of alt-right pieces of poo poo going around flagging videos because iirc enough people doing that makes the video get gated automatically

which is still lovely as gently caress and shouldn't be how youtube works in the first place, but then pretty much everything about how youtube treats content creators has been bad and continually worsening for years and years

PUAs seem like such sad, broken human beings that they're utterly fascinating. There's no sense of satisfaction for them, just being terrible to women for a small sense of superiority before the women ultimately leave their asses.

She had to restrict the video on the main channel since dorks were being lovely to her about this not being gaming content.

It's reuploaded on her gender chat YouTube channel, which she posted on Twitter and ATM I can't retrieve it due to phone posting.

The creepiest part was around when one of them described sex as merely "an expression of power" (exchange? can't remember the exact wording). That is like the textbook psychological undercurrent to rapists. These guys don't want sex, they don't even want companionship, they want something harrowingly dark.

I just figured out a way to redeem Zoe Quinn from all of the supposed crimes laid at her feet.

She did them all ironically. It was just a joke. If you don't think its funny, then you have a bad sense of humour and want to ban free speech.

This is excellent, but should also be paired with the Contra Points video on the same subject, and the Reggie Yates documentary he talks about. The second one if only for the section where Yates, who has always come across as someone who is amiable and sincere, tries to get in contact with Roosh and is inundated with accusations that hes a part of some kind of BBC feminist conspiracy to undermine the PUA cause.

Why does every picture of Matt Forney look like he longs to throw himself in front of the closest fast-moving object? Every time I see that one of him standing at that train station at night that he uses as his go to publicity photo, it makes me think: "Last known picture of the deceased."

Also, Matt Forney is into fat shaming and is obese himself. That's some Milo-level self-hatred there, folks.

Matt Forney has bought into the MRA/Alt Right mentality so hard it's the only thing he has. If he gained a single ounce of self-awareness and tried to actually improve himself, his entire worldview would fall apart and he would be left with nothing.

Everything you need to know about Matt Forney is encapsulated in these two comments on a jezebel article about him:

quote:

This guy went to my high school. It actually makes me laugh when I read this stuff because the image he creates for himself is SO HILARIOUSLY FAR from reality. I remember him as an overweight, pants up to his boobs, trombone player who ran to class like a duck and couldn't look any attractive girl in the eye.



It is pretty sad when I think about it. I'm not sure he was ever categorically bullied but he was certainly socially excluded in school. I'd be surprised to learn he had any friends. If he actually believes any of what he writes, it will be because for years he recognized what other people saw him as, a band geek that looked 12 when he was 17. A weirdo who could never get a girl's attention, an outsider. Even calling himself "the most hated man on the internet" is telling, everything he writes is a cry for acknowledgment. He doesn't care if you hate him as long as you see him! It's a way for him to collect some personal power that he hasn't owned his whole life. I'd be curious to know what his family life was like...
