gootecks

idk he might not be a cokefiend anymore but he used to sell porn but maybe that was the only job he could get out of college who knows who cares that was like 10 years ago its just more a characterization for being a trump supporter than anything anyone should give a poo poo about currently

I like all of those costumes. What the gently caress Capcom, someone hosed up, you're not supposed to make good things.

I also like Gootecks needling Mike Ross on Twitter about him instaswitching to Juri because of the Goth Girl costume.

Their political leanings don't affect in any way the enjoyment I might get from their content. However, even if I enjoy their content, I cannot support people whose politics I find abhorrent, and I find both libertarianism and supporting trump rather wretched. This isn't a politics thread, so I really won't go into it, and there is some nuance to this position, but if my actions directly support someone whose beliefs I find disgusting, then the onus is on me to curb those actions. If I do not, then to me, it is the same as tacit endorsement. Now this isn't a black and white thing, like as evil as nestle is, it can be hard to avoid them when shopping for food. But with something as easy as not watching a youtuber I would find it immoral to continue watching their content and supporting them monetarily (through ads, view count, etc.).

They're both valid positions, really, unless the person in case did some truly abhorrent poo poo. Knowing that someone defends some garbage does kinda detract from my enjoyment of their content, I can't help it - especially because you start noticing when it leaks to it.

Gootecks, for example

if you eliminate media made in part by anyone you disagree with because you label them as abhorrent you're going to run out of entertainment. do you think people who do things, for example, like run telecoms that give you net access are perfect angels that work for the benevolent good or do you think they voted for the bad man too? how can you even post while under this world view

I agree with separating the art from the artist but I also think it's 100% fine to choose not to consume from a source you find abhorrent for any reason. I fuckin love Orson Scott Card books but that dude is a lovely loving loony toon and don't begrudge anyone that avoids his works because of it.

I already sort of answered that....but it isn't a black and white proposition. It is, as you pointed out, near impossible to avoid giving any money to someone whose views you find abhorrent in our society. You cannot avoid it all, I cited the example of nestle, but yes telecoms are another good example. But when it is as simple to avoid as unsubscribing and not going to certain places on twitch and youtube, then I avoid it.

I can't avoid all media franchises, I can't avoid using the internet, I can't avoid buying food. But when it is as simple as checking/unchecking a box to remove support from someone, I'll do it.

Now this is a heck of a derail, and if we want to continue going on about this topic we could do it in PM or if you want to start a thread in D and D I'll happily take part, but I don't think this really has much to do with fightgames.
