vaush imo is very open to giving libs and others the benefit of the doubt if he thinks they can affect positive change. Destiny has actively been an rear end in a top hat to vaush and when Destiny hosed himself over advocating for violence against protestors and got banned from Twitch, he accused vaush of creating some dark plot to destroy him and told his viewers to doxx and harass him. Still vaush forgave him because he thought it was good to canvas and encourage people to vote and thought Destiny was doing good in the current election in Georgia (I think I dunno I'm a brit). I know people don't like vaush for many reasons but I think calling him a fraud is a real stretch. Maybe call him naive or too quick to forgive/take people at their word or w/e, but I don't think that makes him insincere or inconsistent

Errant Signal talks about Watch Dogs's protagonists and how Watch Dogs: Legion's Play as Anyone system comes up short, but concedes that it's surprisingly good for roleplaying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdEL4pf9tlg I kind of have to agree because one of my favorite operatives from my first playthrough was Floyd Okello, a black homeless man with a grudge against Albion who just so happened to gripe about our new police and spy allies in every relevant base conversation. I absolutely know this was an accident because one of my new recruits had a conversation with the founding member that straight-up switched their roles around.

there's a somewhat small streamer by the name of Altrive who has recently gotten a big boost from streaming Among Us with Alpharad, Rubber Ross, Jaiden Animations, etc under the name Pikmin 4. He is true chaos, nobody can predict what he will do in Among Us or otherwise, and it is a joy to watch. I love it so much, especially when it's with people who aren't familiar with him. He does occasionally go a bit overboard and has made some of his cohorts Mad For Real from his antics, though. But it's all good. He had like 5k subs before the among us stuff and now a few months later he's over 100k, which is cool. I dunno how I'd handle that myself, but he seems to be doing okay with it! sometimes he actually tries. other times he plays a hardcore third imposter, or simply does this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSWrIYjus04&hd=1&t=122s Welcome To My Meat Lair https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPL93S1HjaA&hd=1&t=309s here's a playlist of his youtube highlights from streams, and he's been uploading the full twitch VODs very slowly over at his secondary channel. the goofy bullshit he does like following around the person who killed him as a ghost with a voice modulator on so his singing sounds like gregorian chanting in a church going DOM-EE-NUUS and roping other ghosts in on it is just wonderful.

Sydin posted:Not really but he also hasn't apologized or backtracked anything he said, it seems a lot more like it finally clicked with him that he was damaging his brand by digging himself deeper and just decided to shut up. That said I just quickly checked his twitter feed to make sure I hadn't missed anything, and in June he made a protest tweet that just said "these last few weeks have made me incredibly sad, stay safe" with the "I just wanna grill" picture attached Agreed. I just can't find any energy to hate JonTron these days. I looked at his twitter because I expected that maybe he cohosted something with Crowder or did a PragerU video or just loving posted Stonetoss. But the guys been minding himself for several years now and it feels kind of weak that all I can point to is his original controversy.

JonTron pisses me off because there's pretty much zero indication that he's changed his horrible views at all, but because he's smart enough to keep quiet about them now everyone can look the other way. He's like a walking testament to how stupid any discourse about cancel culture is when applied to media figures; if you can avoid doubling down endlessly you can basically say anything and get off scott free.

Calico Heart posted:If you want a real hero for the era, Charles Sumner was one of the most moral men of the era and kicked rear end. He was an abolitionist, in favour of giving natives and blacks land to compensate for how lovely the USA was to them, in favour of giving women the vote, Lincoln's "moral compass" (in his own words) and once delivered a speech that called out-slave owners and humiliated them so much that a sentaor snuck up on him and started beating him with a cane in the senate. The "caning of charles sumner" was actually seen as an important moment pre-war as it exemplified that that rhetoric, dialogue and appealing to the alve-owners sense of morality was impossible. Lincoln wanted Burlingame to be the US Envoy to the Austrian Empire, but his pro-Hungarian independence stance meant that was a non-starter, so instead he was sent to Qing China. Now, China in the 19th Century was not exactly having a happy time, but Burlingame took the radical stance of 'let's not be dicks to these people' and got most of the Western powers to at least for a time stop using military force and try cooperation with pro-reform elements instead. when his term ended, the Chinese government hired him to be their ambassador to the US, and he successfully negotiated a treaty allowing Chinese citizens to immigrate to the US and even become citizens. While unfortunately a lot of his hard work would go on to be undone after his death, he was still a pretty cool dude for the time.

Like JonTron another one who was able to keep his head down until things blew over and knows not to rock the boat. Also I seem to recall the allegations turned out to not be quite what they were initially claimed (but still, you know, bad).

Do any of them really talk about it, though? Outside of that one event where they all described years of being exploited and having very bad times, none of them really do and most seem embarrassed of what they made if anything, which is a fitting way for an adult to regard what they made when they were 20. It’s mostly randos on twitter asking them to comment on what the other ones are doing now or to say if they still hang out or other annoying, creepy poo poo.

Everybody whom I follow (Allison and Phelous both seemed done with it even before, for obvious reason) seems like they'd rather cut their own arm off than talk about it at any length, which I know made at least one YouTuber who tried to make some e-fame off CTC angry.
