Most of the people I follow on twitter just draw boob and dong and then have pretty nice/fun casual conversations otherwise, which always leads to me being confused for at least a second on the "Twitter all bad" kind of remarks lol

They're just trying to be the change they want to see in the world.

Alternatively, if you're someone who draws anime tiddy for Twttter, you most likely get hate thrown at you from both sides of the aisle, for one reason or another. It could be that they just don't call attention to it.

Alternative to that, while some people might be pretty chill on Twitter, they still see the poo poo that goes down between other people on the daily, or they have friends on the site who get caught up in drama, and it still affects them, even if it isn't happening to them directly.

lest we forget that one instance of someone in their 30s who made the like 500 page callout on a minor because they dared to draw self-insert fanart of themselves with a character from a kid's show (who was literally the same age as them)

https://twitter.com/rabidwooloo/status/1343035962163666944

Actually, the artist was thirteen, while the character was fifteen. Thus, there's a two year age gap.

Granted, this doesn't make any difference, but I was in the midst of posting about this myself before I saw your post.

ive mentioned this before in this thread but my only direct involvement in any kind of shipping drama is my friend wrote an entirely g-rated fanfic of two 15 year old anime girls like a decade ago and someone dug it up to call them a pedophile and then that person turned out to be a huge diaperplay fetishist

Something I've learned in the past couple of years is that kind of people who endlessly harangue others on their supposed misdeeds either have a lot of skeletons in their closet, or are incredibly insecure.

That reminds me of how back when Hbomberguy did his RWBY video, he called the ship between the two sister characters "loving disgusting" and some of those incest shippers were a bit appalled at first, but the whole drama around it evaporated with no lingering attempts to go after him. I wonder why the fandom shippers are way more raring to go after Sarah Z and Jenny for way milder/made up things...

Although at least Yang and Ruby talked to each other, unlike Yang's actual canon pairing. /rimshot

It's impressive isn't it? You really must have to try to make a misaligned Home Alone movie. I can see why they'd keep the series going, because I still maintain that Rube Goldberg machines are fun and it's not like they're strangling out other types of movies like Superhero movies are, what's the harm?

I have to say, I can't believe all the needle poo poo happening in it. If you wanna do a new thing, just make a protagonist inspired one of the many child geniuses. A Home Alone movie with basically Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes would be fine!

They've literally tried to revive Home Alone once a decade for thirty years. Home Alone 3 was an actual movie, Home Alone 4 and 5 were made-for-TV garbage that aired on ABC with Home Alone 4 actually being a direct sequel to the first two with new actors playing all the characters because it was literally ten years later since Home Alone 2, and now Home Alone 6 is also made-for-TV garbage only it was direct-to-Disney+.


Anyway, I was having a discussion with a friend of mine over the holidays, and we came to the consensus that the Donald Trump scene in Home Alone 2 should be digitally altered so that adult Macaulay Culkin gives directions to kid Macaulay Culkin instead of prolific sex offender, RICO violator, failed insurrectionist and one-time US President Donald John Trump.

There's no need to maintain it, Rube Goldberg machines are fun. There's a reason why PythagoraSwitch has been broadcast on NHK since 2002 and why it's been a feature of many magazines and newspapers over the many many years in many different countries.

Also, it's fun to me that what're called Rube Goldberg machines in the US is called something else in almost every single country; for example in Japan it's called a Pythagorean device, whereas in Denmark where I'm from it's called a Storm P Invention.
It's also curious that most trace their naming back to a cartoonist who drew them in the early 1900s, but each country seems to have a different cartoonist - I'm not sure if anyone's explored whether they share a common denominator or whether it's convergent evolution.

EDIT: Does anyone know of these kinds of machines, where their history can be traced to before 1910?
Because now I'm curious whether it originated in Denmark or somewhere else.

Heck, they should just have Macaulay Culkin reprise his role as the original Kevin in the next unnecessary Home Alone sequel, except this time he's the seemingly scary adult the main character befriends over the course of the movie. And then he hits an aging Daniel Stern in the back of the head with a snow shovel.

Was it the dumb when applied to modern humans but technically accurate claim that a small population can reproduce itself into a much larger one without many genetic problems despite them all being kind of inbred, or was it about how enlightened advanced civilizations might marry their cousins?

I haven't seen the video in question but he usually goes pretty far into crazy-speculative territory. Maybe it was more in the context of super advanced gene modification technology making it so the negative effects of inbreeding is no longer a thing? Of course, that sorta misses the forest for the trees when it comes to incest...

i think another factor in this stuff is that youtubers cant just be like, dudes who review games anymore, they have to be moral pillars of society. like not just their fans expecting them to be or in terms of mentioning how stuff is handled in their reviews but like, an active push even outside those elements by them to come across that way. and im not blaming them for that because it *is* what people expect but people who don't seem to really make an effort to engage with that stuff beyond mentioning it when it comes up in stuff they're covering seem to get caught up in this kind of drama way less.

and ofc people are fully within their rights to use their platform to express political views but at the same time i do think people feel almost like, obligated to, in a way that leads to weirder expectations and more drama.

People like mandalore and nitorad manage it and still make livings from it. Its more that when you do things on hot button issues, you become a target.

Though Nitorad did tweet black lives matter once which lead to 5hat hilarious NITRORAD: ENEMIES OF AMERICA picture.

FD signifier mentioned something similar recently, where you have this problem that a lot of Twitter warriors on both sides are virtually indistinguishable.

Anyways my crackpot theory is that growing up on social media has made a lot of young people lose their goddamn minds which is why you get arguments over if shipping lumine and childe is a moral failing or whatever.

I suspect part of it is also isolation making people grow more attached to fictional characters and hating seeing them portrayed wrong, and I mean I kinda get it. I don't like that either! But setting out to destroy it via harassment instead of idk, writing a negative review is obviously hosed.
