John Murdoch posted:I know this is just going to engender a "get a load of this guy" type response, but it would be cool if in 2022 we could get away from the strange flagellating about this thread being a uniquely terrible garbage heap. Because obviously no other thread on SA, anywhere, devolves into weird and dumb arguments, or derails over nonsense, or gets mired in Twitter discourse. Or deals with personality clashes between argumentative posters. Nope, just this one. Better quarantine it to improve the internet as a whole...somehow.  It's always been tiresome posting, both here and elsewhere, random other threads in other forums I'll follow do the same thing every now and then and it quickly starts feeling like "Oh shut upppppp", just go make a bad thread olympics thread or something.

Star Man posted:I think the stigma of being a sellout has completely evaporated and selling out is now the entire point. It's easier to just regurgitate corporate-made media and celebrate it or dunk on it than it is to synthesize your own. tracecomplete posted:I came pretty close to getting Twitch partner in the last couple years (had the numbers consistently, regularly over a hundred concurrent viewers, but was always just slightly below the bar) and in retrospect letting the whole thing go before I actually got there was the best thing I could have done. I wasn't trying to do it for a living, either. COVID meant I never left the house and I'm a decent live producer (part of my day job is producing software developer conferences) so I started doing fighting game tournaments and people liked them so it started growing. Some of the bigger names in Tekken started commentating and playing in the brackets I ran, so they started getting bigger. Then, suddenly, because I was willing to say such bold and controversial things like "transphobes are not welcome in my events" I was getting my own share of harassment from shitheads and from the better quarters of the community I was suddenly getting asked to weigh in on this or that bullshit from this or that idiot in the community, like I was suddenly responsible for everybody who played Tekken. And I've got under 2,000 followers on Twitter and Twitch -- I cannot fathom the shitstorm folks with ten or a hundred times that following get all the time, unendingly. yeah

BlankSystemDaemon posted:Holy loving lol, I remember Jimmy Dore showing up on Jimmy Pardo's podcast a decade ago and playing what I thought was a character, but it turns out it's not actually a character at all and that's just who he is? Yeah, I thought Dore was exaggerating for effect at first as well, when I found out that he was genuine I stopped paying attention to him and after watching that Shaun video I'm glad I did.

Dawgstar posted:The fastest way I am told to get those hatespeech bots show up in your Twitch chat is to add the LBTQA+ tag. LGBTQ, any of the specific sexuality or pronoun ones like only Gay, Lesbian, Transgender, They/Them, weirdly enough ones like Furry also seem to do it, those and more are obviously targeted by shitheels. Like I stream on and off for fun, have no kind of major or even really minor following, but the moment I ever put a tag like those on, I got the couple of lame 'hate raids' I ever got of like forty spambots showing up. Also big tip, I was lucky because I knew about it before I got any of those, but if you stream and ever get those spam raids, don't actually click on any of them and especially do not go to their actual channel pages even though I don't know why you would anyway, because a whole lot of them are also exploiting certain addons that basically let them also function as IP grabbers, which of course they'll use to try and DDOS and similar stupid poo poo, even if it takes longer, do the manual "/ban [name]" function. Maybe that part of them was remedied since I last looked a while back, but somehow I doubt it.

I agree and I've said as much before, too. Like I think at least three other threads I follow do the same "GOD THIS IS THE WORST THREAD ON THE FORUMS" routine over some goofy derail or a weird argument going on for more than a page, and none of them are actually that bad. Anyway... videos I watched this and thought it was interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJLitUFll4s But I don't really like how it's crediting "D&D" with all the openness and flexibility of roleplaying where you can be whoever you want, when almost every TTRPG offers that inherently. I've also been watching some verilybitchie videos and I think they're good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oprjb_ljVqQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiuHsugRgNQ

Dias posted:I mean, you guys can go yell at whoever you like at the end of the day, I'm not an arbiter of anything and neither are you, lest you forget. But if you read Lindsay's post and your biggest takeaway was "she hosed up by mentioning Isabel Fall" you need to rethink your concept of empathy, that's all I'm gonna say for now. its in bad taste for a cis woman to compare her struggles with what fall went through, and it should be entirely expected that trans people will get their hackles up if they see someone like lindsay (cis, relatively wealthy) do so Ash Crimson posted:this obviously isn't the worst thread, have you been to the glenn thread christ the less said about that the better A big flaming stink fucked around with this message at 12:48 on Dec 29, 2021 |

A big flaming stink posted:its in bad taste for a cis woman to compare her struggles with what fall went through, and it should be entirely expected that trans people will get their hackles up if they see someone like lindsay (cis, relatively wealthy) do so A comparison isn't claiming that your suffering is equal to though, and I think anyone saying that she was comparing herself directly to Fall didn't read what she was saying. Twitter is full of immediate, bad faith readings where even mentioning yourself and Fall in the same breath is proof positive that in fact the mob was right about you, regardless of the context you're trying to explore. None of these conversations are framed around what she actually said though, just the nerve that a wealthy white woman would mention herself alongside someone who is Trans. I have no skin in the Ellis game, but the best move is to always double down. gently caress me, no gently caress you. Whatever I said to annoy you I wish I said it earlier. That sort of thing. If someone wants to say you only chose the commonly used and context appropriate "squint" because you're talking to someone who's Asian then that can't be your problem. You want a real discussion about something then message me, all this quote tweeting mess is just peacocking. DrVenkman fucked around with this message at 15:09 on Dec 29, 2021 |

Captain Invictus posted:I could never keep up with the sheer amount of vtuber clips put out per day via a mere rss feed. It also depends on what you do with it. I like it when there's effort put in, and I'm not convinced it's possible to produce content with effort daily without experiencing almost immediate burnout. At the same time, it's not a guarentee that because someone takes longer than a week to produce something, that it'll be good - so it's a fine balance. If then, you're the type of person to just move onto the next bit of content, which is totally valid and in no way an issue, then that's that. However, if you're like me seeing something on any given subject is likely to lead to a deep-dive into that subject to learn more about it, because even the most well-produced videos tend to only be a tiny part of the iceberg.

the new internet is more of a nightmare than the old internet because it’s been corporatized and everything is driven by algorithms and targeted content. Social media apps outright refuse to show you your feed in chronological order now, they are formatted to be addictive and maximize engagement, whether it’s by making you scroll thrice as much to find a post or by actively shoving people you hate in front of you.

When I mentioned the issues with the new internet last, I also forgot to mention the one thing that all of these issues rely on - which is that they all require the internet to be centralized to a few services. The grass-roots federation efforts aren't without their share of problems (especially when it's not always clear if there's a company behind them, of if it truly is grass-roots), but it's at least always an option to use if one wants to - and since it relies on the fundamental design of the internet (ie. being able to route around anyone (but nation-states) trying to destroy it), it's unlikely to go away until the internet (as we recognize it today) goes away.

People arguing the appropriateness of Ellis merely mentioning a trans author suffering from internet harassment in her desperate plea for help is a spectacular and cruel microcosm of her entire career. e: quote:But all I know now is that being in the public eye at all is a losing game, and I regret all of it. I regret every time I’ve ever stood up for anyone - it always backfires. I regret every time I pushed back against something unjust - it was always just used to hurt me. I regret every time I ever stood up for myself - I never did it “correctly.” I regret every time I showed any vulnerability - just more ammunition to be used against me later. I regret every time I ever tried to play the game with peers and colleagues - they will drop you the second you aren't popular on Twitter anymore. It’s all hollow and brittle, and if there is one thing I have learned this year it is how eminently expendable I am. The good, progressive cis, straight, wealthy white men keep on trucking and coming out on top because deep down, they know that the systems they profess to stand against ultimately exist to benefit them. Yeah this sure sounds like someone in a good state of mind!
