Do you need more of an argument beyond the fact it's incredibly destructive for the child? Because either the other person will accept that and it's all good or they won't because they only care about their own gratification in which case they're not worth talking to.

It's an awkward situation for people who defend pedophilia, because "are you seriously defending pedophilia right now?" absolutely is a personal attack. It just happens to be an extremely cogent one.

To me, "personal attack" means an insult, and getting all snitty about being "personally attacked" because a few people asked you questions is super loving thin skinned.

I mean the problem is Amos Yee doesn't really have a reasoning. He doesn't have an argument, really, he just kinda goes. You can't really examine an argument someone doesn't have. Amos Yee is an amoeba of retardation. There's nothing to take down because nothing is built up.

He was probably a normie racist that liked saying offensive things that then became an extremely online racist with nazi sympathies once he became more famous.

Lmao I misread it as a Shaun video and clicked the link.
I never comment on youtube videos but after like 20sec I scrolled down but saw that he had written this comment: "Videos been up for 35 seconds and I already got dislikes, wtf.." and I just couldn't help myself.
Edit: I kept watching the video and I'm cackling at the "It's totally true that black people don't take care of their children" and the "I have a black friend thing is totally legit most of the times man". But hey don't say the N-word because it's racist.

I’ll admit I made very strong assumptions about the video from the start. I turned it off after thinking it was some edgy alt-right rap about how lovely black people were. I’m glad I watched in its entirety today, because I found it very strong and compelling. It’s not saying both sides are equally bad. I’m not sure what it’s saying, but to say it’s some middle ground nonsense is just as simple minded as that statement.

Ad hominem.

Most gaters were smart enough never to explicitly defend gamergate, dude, so if anyone could find it it'd just mean you were a stupid gamergater. A absence of evidence in this case is not evidence of absence, because the primary thrust of the core of gamergate was to build a wall of people who would loudly and unabashedly reject them- like you're doing right now- while also quietly agreeing with most of their actual points.

And retreating to 'ad hominem' is a bad move if someone is explicitly attacking you, because it doesn't matter if it's irrelevant to the debate at hand, the point is to accuse you of being a thing. If you say 'ad hominem' to that you're basically copping to whatever charge has been filed.

Very Smart Brothers are dumb and they post click bait articles but I'll respond. Their criticism of the song was that it wasn't woke enough and Joyner Lucas said stuff that they already heard. That's mean what? The song shouldn't exist because the artist isn't extreme? How much hostility is appropriate? This is same old Malcolm vs Martin comparisons when people don't have to be one or the other and can fall in between. Plus, the black voice isn't conciliatory at all, isn't sympathetic, and isn't pulling any punches. The black voice starts his verse with "with all due disrespect". The only two lines that are moderate is the white voice's "But there's two sides to every story, I wish that I knew yours" and the black voice's "I love you but I fuckin' hate you at the same time". I just put more textual references than the entire article.

Then interviewee of the article pulled a bullshit nazi comparison. So every white person is a nazi? Every republican or trump voter is in the KKK? This is why the US racial discussion farts around the same "no you" drain of lovely opinions. A huge point of the song is to frankly say what you mean and the white voice didn't say he loved slavery or anything of that sort. I've already said this in the hiphop thread, but rap is able to be blunt and genuine in a special way (even when rappers embellish to make a greater point). Lucas used "im not a racist" ironically juxtapositioned to racist sentiment for effect. He's not letting the white guy off the hook. To make some strawman or exaggeration like jew-nazi is missing a, if not the whole point, of trying to hear someone out before rushing to judgement.

Joyner Lucas isn't saying what *they* think he should have said. This is performative wokeness, but from a different angle. Instead of guilt riddled white people, Lucas is expected to play an angry black man willing to attack whiteness at the drop of a hat. I'm sure if the song was just the black voice, nobody would care. The fact that Lucas gave the white guy a voice was the only trigger needed to offend some people. The two voices is what makes the song unique and effective.

White voice

quote:

Music rotting your brain and slowly start to convince you
Then you let your kids listen and then the cycle continues
Blame it all on the menu, blame it on those drinks
Blame it on everybody except for your own race
Blame it on white privileges, blame it on white kids
And just blame it on white citizens, same with the vice president

Black voice

quote:

Hatred all in your brain, it slowly start to convince you
And then you teach it to your children until the cycle continue
Blame it on Puerto Rico, blame it on OJ
Blame it on everybody, except for your own race
Blame it on black niggas and blame it on black citizens
Aim at the black businesses, I ain't saying I'm innocent
But, I might be any day now

YouTube rationals think that all arguments can be reduced into concrete, mathematical paradigms that can be reasoned with binary logic while failing to understand the spectrum of ideas that goes along with social issues. Ironically, they call social sciences “not real science”, while also not understanding that the concepts are only simplistic when taken in a vacuum, and that hundreds if not thousands of unquantifiable variables need to be taken into account, including concepts from outside of that particular realm of social science, to make an accurate model of the issue being discussed.

So instead of understanding that it’s much easier to say “look at this women’s studies teacher, what a hack fraud” and then call your opponent out for making an appeal to authority or whatever because it makes you sound really smart in front of your fans.

I think you’ll find that I merely demonstrated that in theory if a Jew had committed a crime that would have given the death penalty to a free German between 1933 and 1944, then morally speaking the holocaust could not have been—as you so emphatically claim—“entirely unjustified.” Until you refute that simple point, I have nothing more to discuss.
