Sure I thought it was invasive in parts but some of that was by design. yea shitposting aside I do think it genuinely works well because, yea, he's meant to seem like a very self absorbed unreliable narrator and 'LA douchebag who keeps taking a break from the narrative to say 'maybe the pills ARE the disease MAN' apropos of nothing' is very good to do that.

DeafNote posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd8Pg8q_2Qs I really enjoyed this, having coincidentally finished the book recently. This video contains a great crash course on basic semiotics, then uses it to complicate the popular understanding of Eco's work on fascism, as well as drill down to the core ideas of the book, and Kyle gets some very good little jokes in too. I agree with the statement that movies need more weird gross old men.

Yeah, as someone who hasn't read Eco and has a lot of trouble with semiotics, that video was interesting and enlightening. I enjoyed the callback to the terrible Channel Awesome musical times as well

Youtube demonitized a content creator for pointing out that another creator has been using their platform to spread hate, lies, bigotry, and to harass people in real life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x51aY51rW1A

Well that's heinous, the comments keep mentioning the channel that had been called out as being "Quantum TV" which I've never heard of and frankly don't want to taint my algorithm by looking into  What's their deal? More white supremacist BS I'm guessing?

CelticPredator posted:I don’t know who the heck these people are The guy with the long hair and beard in the video is penguinz0/cr1tikal whose irl name is Charles. Karl Jobst is one of those white nationalist speed runners that are apparently common enough to hang out together in a discord and dominate the Goldeneye speed running community. Wendigoon is a racist TERF, I think, I'm going off memory here. RareAcumen is saying cr1tikal kind of sucks because he lets lovely people hang out on his podcast.

wendigoon hasn't shown any racist or transphobic proclivities to my knowledge but he is a conspiracy theories loving guy with a deep fondness for guns and christian texts which is too many red flags for my taste

I'm weirded out at the whole Wendigoon thing because my only impression of them before was "extremely dumb and credulous person with lackluster presentation" in the pool of "youtube randos talking about spooky poo poo." I guess E: Fixing language in case they're not actually bigoted? They're still dumb as a post.

Wendigoon's fine. At least, he doesn't deserve to be lumped in with Karl Jobst. His worst crime is getting sorta overeager about subjects he gives a 101-level surface overview of, but it's decent background noise if nothing else.

I mean it's a bad take but I wouldn't take it as them being a TERF. Using transphobic language, sure, but I think talking about Chris Chan in just about any subject probably shouldn't be taken as a person's general views on that subject because Chris Chan is just a big pile of bizarre, extreme examples that don't apply to real life issues because Chris Chan does not live in real life, she lives in a horrible panopticon and bizarre shutin delusions. Like, it's a lovely, lovely take and not doing anyone any favors, and again I wouldn't be terribly surprised if Wendigoon was some level of transphobe or whatever, but it doesn't seem like evidence of TERFery so much as just... lovely and using the kind of transphobic language that just floats around Western culture as background noise bigotry.

Given Wendigoon's profound inability to understand any of the real life cultures of beliefs he skims over in his videos, it would not surprise me if he is just repeating the "not really trans because they bad" stuff from Silence of the Lambs.

I’ll amend my prior post to “He said some grossly transphobic stuff but may not self ID as a TERF.” Because I couldn’t remember everything he said in that tweet and couldn’t find it to check, sorry.

Kaiser Mazoku posted:Youtube demonitized a content creator for pointing out that another creator has been using their platform to spread hate, lies, bigotry, and to harass people in real life. I watched Act Man's video before it got taken down (as well as some of his other content). It started out with Quantum TV abusing the Content ID tool to take down videos dunking on his terrible Elden Ring review. He somehow managed to dig up the phone number for Act Man's mom and called her to complain. From there, other stuff started coming to light, like harassing other people in the A/V community, posting a lot of anti-LGBT stuff (from goofy insane stuff like talking about the liberal agenda trying to make him gay, to horrible poo poo like telling someone they 'should have been a Pulse victim'), evading previous bans, etc. There's another video Act Man did about a month ago on the subject that's still up (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1OWLq2dO2c). The one that got taken down was more point-by-point, detailing how Quantum had violated virtually every rule of YouTube's TOS, but YouTube would not act on any of it. The video wasn't even technically finished; the end was Act Man saying that he had more stuff to cover, but published what he had edited at that point because of travel arrangements. Via that post, Act Man's channel has now been demonetized, but QuantumTV's channel is still up. It's baffling.

It's just got such big "I have no idea what I'm talking about but damned if I don't have an important opinion I want to share..." energy to it.
