that wasn''t supposed to be a 'gotcha' for a passing, irrelevant comment, but also one of my central claims: greenwald going on tucker's show does NOTHING to help convert fox chuds to the left.


okay, how about we split the difference? BOTH greenwald and klein suck. how's that? :colbert:

e: appearing on tucker carlson's show is unambiguously bad, and the more famous the guest (and greenwald brings a large audience) the worse it is. if the theory is that greenwald's pure righteous leftism will reform some of tucker's nazi viewers, lol that goes both ways and some of greenwald's pure righteous leftist viewers will be converted to nazism too.
i mean, tucker has a t.v. show funded by one of the world's larger media conglomerates, so i figured it goes without saying he's a white supremacist

and like, im continually baffled that Gamers hate sex workers so much. i understand they're reactionaries and they hate women, but i don't get the internal logic. when they see a titty shouldn't an "AWOOGA" sound play in the background while their eyes bug out? how can their hatred of women overpower their horniness? it seems like it shouldn't be able to

it's their bodily autonomy they hate, not the body itself

if these girlgamers were, for example, forced at gunpoint by the government to have boobs online while playing games, they'd be super okay with it all - it'd be only fair and That's The Law and heh you feminazis wanted equality now you're mad you've got it heh

there's a lot to discuss regarding these standards but they usually aren't interested in discussing the actual issues as opposed to projecting a reactionary worldview. Just tell them that Twitch is being very fair because guys aren't allowed to stream shirtless either

Also their not being able to gently caress is a source of shame because let's face it many human beings want affection and meaningful romantic relationships and not getting it implies that you're hosed on an existential level

The guys who bitch about boobs on Twitch see it as a competition because there's a number of viewers attached to a stream. If a woman with cleavage is streaming a game and has more viewers than their own stream or one of their favorite streamers, then that's unfair because "they're using using it to their advantage" and they one reason anyone watches them is because they're a hot girl, not because they're "good at games" or whatever.

They would like all the female streamers kicked off Twitch because then their fav streams would be "more popular" by eliminating any streamers bigger than them. It's this whole Reddit upvote mentality spilling out to other sites. If Twitch gave the streamer the option to hide the viewcount numbers from the stream you would still have people bitching but there would be a hell of a lot less of "Why is girl X more popular than gamer Y, the only reason anyone watches is because she's hot" arguments.

if Trump started holding tribunals for CIA employees and executing them and replacing them with Trump cronies Glenn would cheer it on

does that make him good? bad? that, poster, is in your hands to decide

:lol:

If Trump cronies and CIA employees start killing each other, let them do it. Leftists should not take sides in an inter-fascist power struggle.

And the reason Glenn Greenwald shits on the letter agencies so much is because he correctly illustrates how they’re little more than the Praetorian Guards of monopolized American capitalism, or “Inverted Totalitarianism”. Just call it fascism, because that is what it is.

I made a thread on the current American variant of fascism, if anyone’s interested: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3920054

I would also like to add to this even if you take there idea that boobs are somehow stealing views at face value, it's still not actually about being "good at the game". The best streamers and other sorts of play video games for a living people are rarely actually the best at the game. Usually it's the people who are the best at being entertaining while playing the game, hence why there is a cottage industry of more charismatic people explaining speed runs over footage from the actual best people. Yet we don't see any of these guys getting up in arms at any of the most popular guy streamers, none of whom are actually exceptionally good at the games they play. Because the point isn't actually watching skilled execution of anything. The point is hating women.

If women streamers have a viewer floor, they also have a viewer cap because no woman will get 100k twitch viewers because not enough viewers like women.

I support women streamers, you can call me a woman-streamer-ally. They should all stream topless to show solidarity.

Has anyone made a cam site where they play video games naked? If Twitch won’t allow it, it seems like a market open for exploration. It reminds me of this lady who might have been a joke who read Hayak or Mises or one of those fucks on a stream while slowly undressing.
