Frankly, I'm surprised the SC bothered with that in the first place, even as a political statement, it's pretty silly. You're wondering why the United Nations is doing high-minded idealistic empty gestures? lol

biracial bear for uncut posted:The only twitter "purge" I'm seeing is extremely slow loading times for the website. Nah, twitter's just garbage. And it's not a "purge" that's just what the Alt-right is calling it to feed their victimization narrative. Twitter's just formally applying their "new" "rules" from here out. Lowtax was correct when he said that Twitter should have followed an SA style rules set: Make solid clear rules, then add "also we'll ban you for anything not listed if we feel it's warranted". Also they shoulda not buddied up to, hired, or been Nazis.

nine-gear crow posted:Twitter is also constantly bleeding millions of dollars a year like a sucking chest wound and hasn't posted a profit in the 11 years it has existed. The platform is, thankfully, on borrowed time until its angel investors' patience with it runs out. Or until Google buys it for the datamining. YouTube's never run a profit either, but it is worth its weight in gold for the data they strip out of it.

I'm a member of several alt-right Discord servers so I can keep tabs on that whole movement and they've all slowly been bleeding followers throughout the day. It's a pretty slow purge. It also seems to be limited to Nazis who tweet in English.

Making veto-holding members acknowledge their responsability on an issue by forcing them to veto something against a proxy state is one thing and makes political sense, but a resolution directly against one of these veto-holders is pretty useless even by UN standards.

I dunno how true that is. The Ad-pocalypse thing might only be partially driven by advertisers not wanting to be attached to deplorable content. It seems like they're trying to restrict what kind of accounts can earn revenue, which is a big change of pace from how it's been for the last 6-8 years where anyone with a adsense account could earn some amount of money.

They're making money right now, but if it turns out they're gaming the system that can all change very quickly. Also I've seen lots of articles about how Millennials are ruining everything, including marketing. loving lizard people.

mutata posted:As a white artist, this is absolutely true. The fact of the matter is that artists below a certain bracket of skill (in other words most artists) will always tend to draw and design subconsciously what they have been observing their whole lives, which most often means their own face and their family's faces etc. In other words, artists will default to drawing any person through a lens made of their own image. Girls will draw feminine boys and boys will draw butch girls. A Japanese artist once drew me as part of a "draw me/draw you" thread and it was Asian me. A lot of artists I know will draw women who look similar to their wives or daughters. Etc. As an illustrator and a white artist who's done some children's books and political cartoons, I can confirm. It's really really difficult to be self aware and still draw people accurately, especially outside of your "norm" or whatever. Like you catch yourself drawing people outside your race when you realize "this person's nostrils are bigger than mine" and "this person's eyes are narrower". Most often, you're not even trying to be racist so much as, like you said, pulling off of your definition of what' s "normal" and exaggerating the things that stand out to you. I mean, drawing Patrick Ewing with large nostrils is not inherently racist (because dude has some big loving nostrils) any more than drawing Mick Jagger or Steve Tyler with big lips is, but it's a hard line to walk, especially when you're doing a caricature. Doing a cartoon of Colin Kaepernick with a big giant afro might seem racist even though he has a huge loving afro.

Advertising the way that has been done for the last 100+ years just doesn't make as much money in the modern world, much less on the internet. There are so many ad blocking extensions, programs, scripts, etc that I've seen only a handful of ads in the last 5 years on the internet unless they were hard coded into the site or otherwise into the content directly. I'm sure that's a majority experience for people my age. Add into that millenials being cable cutters, and the prevalence of our using streaming sites (legal and illegal) over watching live TV or going to the theaters, and I'm kinda surprised that the ad driven model hasn't collapsed already. That's why you're seeing things like the rise of the "ClapBack PR twitter" for companies. Normal ads don't work so instead you have Wendy's and Moonpies paying people to play at being a young, hip, sassy taste maker making GBS threads on people on twitter. Right now it get's decent play because it's still kinda novel (Like Arby's having a fairly talented nerd model maker producing nerd images out of their fast food) but in a few months when everyone from Purina to Activia are trying to act like their a sanitized version of a KM gif it'll die off too. boner confessor posted:the fundamental problem with twitter (and reddit) is that they were made by relatively well off nerdy white men for whom "everyone is allowed to say whatever they want" has a completely different meaning than for anyone who faces any kind of marginalization or oppression Also they grew up in the era of "Racism was solved (outside of very bad deep south KKK chapters)" and refuse/ed to give up the idea that the world is colorblind.

The people who want to believe Mueller's investigation is partisan believed that long before this story and the people who support the investigation aren't going to be swayed by something so obviously bullshit when the vast majority of TV news isn't biting on it.

La Brea Carpet posted:A big thing in evangelical preaching is to have a personal "altar call" moment where you talk about your acceptance of Jesus as your savior. A lot of preachers will have some story about how they were witches,or satan worshippers, or drug addicts and at the lowest point of their life they felt the presence of the lord and were converted and through the power of Christ became the upstanding person you see before you today. This sort of approach is also used a lot on prisoners. Basically exploiting people at the very ends of their desperation.
