Yeah I'd also maintain that the Plinkett TPM review was the inciting event for the insane number of dumpy NEET bloa-teed youtube "film critics" who think that knowing what A/B shot means is basically USC film school

zoux posted:I really do believe the purple hair played a major role in it. Like, speaking as a moron who's occasionally a little bit too close to some of this, I admit that when I first saw that character's design, it was a bit of a shock. Then I thought about it for like two seconds and was like "Oh right, they're in loving space, why is hair colour even a thing that could matter lol" I'm not gonna listen to eleven loving hours of three uneducated morons chatting about it. I've got a friend who used to drink the Yudkowsky kool-aid, hard. At one point I asked him what a good intro would be, because I wanted to actually engage with the bullshit he was spewing about Rationality and Reason and all the other thinky masculine tokens that never seem to coalesce into anything substantial when we were chatting. He admitted Yudkowsky had a problem with not shutting up, but the minimum to engage with his ideas was like "read these two books and this whole wiki of interminable blog posts" and lol nope not gonna bother with that. A point raised in a recent Innuendo Studios video was that this poo poo doesn't actually make sense and a lot of the reason that it takes the form of these multi-hour rants is that if your point actually makes sense, you can usually explain it once and then it'll stick; if it doesn't, you have to repeat it endlessly, something YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Discord are all set up to helpfully accommodate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P55t6eryY3g

zoux posted:We're.....we're about to start arguing about Star Wars aren't we The arguments don't even really start until someone brings up whether the Starship Enterprise (pick one) could beat a Star Destroyer in a fight.  Rarer examples of the same phenomenon include pitting an X-Wing against a Colonial Viper, or even the Galactic Empire (from Star Wars) against the Galactic Empire (from Foundation).

Edgar Allen Ho posted:it's always a 5+ tweet bigoted rant in response to "actually I'm a she" or "could you not say that, it's a slur, say this" It really is always an overreaction on the part of the bigot being reminded they're not the center of the universe. Pththya-lyi posted:I swear, neon hair to fash is like a red flag to a bull. All these great pillars of rationality and heroic pragmatism loving losing it over hair dye  Rich Uncle Chet posted:As someone who's only a casual star wars fan (I've seen the movies and played the pod racing game that was on the N64), can someone explain to me what it was about the Last Jedi that drove all these nerds absolutely insane? The main antagonist is a thinly veiled caricature of a "bad" Star Wars fan and the main protagonist is a slightly more subtle caricature of a "good" Star Wars fan, and the movie dunks on the antagonist for being an easily-roused brat every chance it gets. It loving rules on that basis. luxury handset posted:it helps that the RLM guys have a pretty decent grasp on film theory on top of being provincial nerdlingers

Instead of posting homegrown have some of this. Not that this needs background but have some anyway because it makes it worse. NSWPol have been making a lot of news lately for illegally strip searching minors. A lot of them. We're talking girls as young as 12 here. So here's what they've decided to post.

No I’ve seen people internalize it and engage the people that care way to much about a Star War movie on their level completely undermining themselves. Though woke corps are only going to get worse as the money they can make from rubes increases

folks if we don't engage critically with charlesthehammer and his fifteen hour video lecture that has approximately two hours of tired star wars is actually bad commentary in it (as well as a barely disguised fap session at hour 7) we're not being civil and we might push him toward extremismYour Gay Uncle posted:I get this a lot from the Jordan Peterson / Shapiro fan club at work. Yeah, this is why I always ask how much of someone's work I need to engage with in order to discuss them, and if the answer is "all of it" then they're not really producing arguments, they're producing bad feelings
