you think you can install streaming software and fire up pubg, then people just magically show up and start paying their rent?

i can't think of a single top streamer who is actually entertaining. most of them are just people that are very good at a popular game and beyond that are obnoxious or boring(imaqtpie, singsing, trumpsc). they're legit people that just boot up obs and their game and play.

edit: lmao shakira and jlo have more twitter followers than donald trump.

It's funny that guys like that can't come to grips with the fact that men like boobs and that's OK since then that means women have some form of power over them and we can't have that, can we? That's also what a lot of no-fap is about - mitigating female sexual power.

Nah, you have to install streaming software, fire up pubg, be super loud and obnoxious and get into fake drama and call people horrible poo poo THEN people show up and start paying your rent. Dude, the fourteen year olds who fuel Twitch are not very tough to please. You live in a world where PewDiePie is the 4th most popular YouTuber. https://socialblade.com/youtube/user/pewdiepie

i don't disagree that twitch is a vast wasteland but there's tons of obnoxious shits with <10 viewers. The successful ones got where they are by being marketing savvy and finding a way to tap into an extremely crowded market. No idea why you'd bring up pewdiepie when talking about a lack of talent/effort, hes been grinding out content for years, his videos all have good editing, and he puts a ton of effort into his persona and finding out what his audience responds to. He sucks but there's a reason all those 14 year olds with no standards chose to worship him over the thousands of other awful people who yell "rape" over footage of Five Nights At Freddies.

i dipped into destiny's stream and he was debating some guy named exskillsme that might be the dumbest person i've ever heard. he was arguing that trump's deregulation gets money out of politics since there's less lobbying and so destiny should like that more than bernie's plans since more regulation means more lobbying. and he didn't seem to get when destiny explained that they stop lobbying because they don't have any regulation, they got their wish.

also said bernie's 15 dollar minimum wage was dumber than anything trump has done lmao.

He was a guy who started out as a Starcraft 2 streamer/commentator. There was a high profile case of a different famous Starcraft streamer sexual harassing a woman in a very public way (I think his name was XJ9). Destiny did a long form call out of this harasser in which he tried to explain to the harasser why what he did was morally wrong. Over the course of this video it became clear that the harasser was a sociopath and 100% unable to consider other people as human beings. Naturally because he called out a sexual harasser all the rationals think he needs to be corrected.

It's not just a poor vocabulary. It's really tough for dudes to navigate all the masculinity status minefield bullshit to ever say anything at all. That stuttering isn't someone with a bad vocabulary, it's someone who is trapped like a rat by gender. What Destiny is doing in that video is, like, emotional labor and it's actually kind of valuable socially, though I loving hate listening to it.

Destiny's main schtick other than playing game was the once-popular 'rational' stance of words don't mean anything so everyone should be free to use slurs whenever they want because also language has been transformed and those words mean different things now (unless they don't, in which case they don't mean anything) and context is all that matters so if you're not dressed like a Klansman carrying a noose around then saying friend of the family is fine etc. I'm sure we all remember the good old days when this kind of poo poo was the discussion du jour rather than literal nazis and poo poo, this was pre-GG and all, I mean this sentiment obviously is still around but it's kinda gotten eclipsed by all the other awful acts and opinions around nowadays. He also just loved being contrarian against everything and debating all kinds of poo poo. At the time most of this stuff at least got confronted, downvoted on the Starcraft reddit etc although Destiny still retained popularity as a streamer. He moved to other games eventually and I never paid attention to it until I started seeing him posted here and poo poo.

Also there was something about him sending dickpics to an underaged girl or something, I was tuned out of Starcraft at that time so I only caught a bit of it, I think that's what actually got him losing some popularity and people in general stopped tolerating him as much.

I just assume that when people use filler words it is to replace the "uhhhmmmmmm"s that are going on in their heads. If it is done by Toxic Masculinity Hivemind Enforcement (TMHE for short) rather then lack of intellectual curiosity then we can expect them to be like this until they hit their 40s.

the whole thing is super long but the XJ9 / destiny chat is genuinely fascinating.

iirc, xj9's girlfriend played a character he didn't like in league of legends, so in his opinion he was 100% in the right to post her nudes online and do all this other horrendous poo poo. he couldn't understand at all why it was wrong to do.

It's almost like this was refuted in the image itself. If you're parroting nazi poo poo and pretending to be a nazi, guess what, for all intents and purposes you're just another net-nazi persecuting minorities.

Even better, they use the kekistan dumbasses as their example, a group that harbors actual neo nazis while pretending to be ~satirizing~ nazis by.. parroting nazi rhetoric.

there's really very little difference between advocating a point ironically or sincerely, since all people know about you on the internet are the points you advocate. or the old "i only poo poo myself to trick you into thinking i'm a pants shitter" argument
