I remember watching his video on flat earthers and he’s got a bit in response to hbomberguy’s vids on the same subject, thats basically “yeah hbomb means well but his mistake was having any sympathy at all for people involved in flat earth who might have unwittingly fallen into cult thought, every single one of them is actually a racist and you should treat them like dumb animals every single time”

Am i too late to chime in that B5 is awesome and you should definitely watch it. The first seaso starts a bit rough but it quickly picks up steam by season 2, it's great, watch it. I think it's available on HBO?Stairmaster posted:And he's bald Well that's just uncalled for Re Lindsey Ellis, if she'd just said "my bad" and apologized instead of coming up with excuses as to why it's good, actually, to be an rear end about every single time she's been wrong then everyone would have forgotten about it. Also good job undoing the only goos thing she did the past 6 months which was crush cinema roberto.

I've found some of his other stuff interesting but haven't watched it all. So this latest piece came across real weird. Like, it's not a considered examination, more of a call out. And are we really at the point where YouTubers are making dis videos at each other? And why should I watch their feud?

it was made as a patreon incentive, there's quite a funny trend of left youtube people having their creative direction instantly and totally hosed by trying to appeal to the specific tastes of "people who subscribe to left youtube patreons"

I'm joking, I haven't read the WoT novels in 20 years but his pages-long descriptions were so thorough I still remember the styles of specific cities. It sucks but this video's "magical plantation" look ain't great

sexpig by night posted:the main issue was she picked examples that were super common in fantasy, and especially eastern fantasy tropes, so boiling it down to 'avatar stuff' was kinda reductive, and she responded to people going 'this is kinda a dumb take' with a meltdown that lasted until...well a 2 hour video where she lumps in minorities telling her it may be best to just not feel the urge to fight with every minority who shares their view with her with 'gamergate style harassment' in a section called 'she deserved it' as if she's an assault victim for it. yeah no

indigi posted:what. There are "clever" references to how the WoT world and our world are the same time loop, just divided by huge gaps of time/repeating apocalypses. So the Cold War is a legend about two literal giants in their time, and who we think of Jesus, Odin and prob other religious figures are human characters in the books. It's all ignorable background poo poo that's easy to miss, unlike the scifi stuff that gets directly referenced. Big Mad Drongo has issued a correction as of 19:52 on Apr 17, 2021 |
