pentyne posted:Add into that the dude spending $200 several times a month trying to talk to the vtuber to give gaming advice it was clearly going to be a terror of a thread to moderate. somehow would have been less embarrassing for him if he'd just blown the $200/mo on a hooker instead even if the hooker just took his money and laughed in his face

Remember the vtuber with all the (definitely real) crippling illnesses that someone kept calling so inspiring or whatever I'm pretty sure goons being unable to stop posting nws fan art is why the undertale thread got shut down too

The Shortest Path posted:Even if you ignore all the sexualization of underage anime girls (lol) the whole "parasocial relationship" thing is deeply hosed up and unhealthy and all of the big vtuber agencies do everything they can to encourage that because it makes them truckloads of money by marketing their agents as your best friend who you wanna give money to to help out her career or whatever. Regular streamers and podcasters and such do this too of course, but it seems like the vtuber thing just makes it way way worse. Yeah, the most prominent vtubers are clearing 6 figgies, buy your own house in LA/NYC kind of money, but that's like 50-100 total out of the thousands and thousands of vtubers trying to make it. Dude vtubers are their own weird ecosystem because they have much lower viewers/subs, have to play to an fundamentally different audience, and if they chat with/collab with female vtubers will get a ton of vitriol from her fans for daring to make their waifu impure or some poo poo. It's just a loving mess all around, and nothing short of aggressive moderation and a 1 strike rule would allow a thread like that to exist.

That person absolutely does have an autoimmune disease. People just got extremely weird about her, as many in the vtuber threads tended to do.

There's a handful of good podcasters and streamers but by and large they end up causing people to be very very deranged.

Internet Fans in general have a tendency to be weird no matter what the topic or platform, it's the combination of them all + Anime/Waifu culture cancer multiplier that creates a particularly potent strain of AIDS.

The Shortest Path posted:I will never understand why goons are so incapable of being weird and/or horny about random poo poo. There are many many many places on the internet to post about the hosed up poo poo you jack off to which are not this website, why would you ever think that poo poo is okay here Part of the problem is that certain types of media deliberately pander to socially-inept pornsick young men, so having any kind of discussion about them is basically guaranteed to attract those types.

Goddamn the GDQ threads are a hell of a rabbit hole From the same QCS thread as that wretched Luna Was Here post Rubellavator posted:Even the sgdq thread from 2018 went too far almost immediately. I was surprised mods didnt do anything about it at the time. It's even in the gold mine. This links to a post containing a (cropped) picture of Wind Waker Link presumably being hosed just offscreen in the 2018 SGDQ thread and then people quoting it approvingly because it's got a funny caption attached to it or something, and also a bunch of big titty genderswaps of the bird guy from BotW, and that's as far as I cared to look at it. But at this point I am going to hard side-eye anybody with a Samus, Splatoon or Isabelle avatar because the sheer abundance of them is hard to ignore there

Captain Invictus posted:My last post on the subject, but after thinking about it for a bit, as a show of good faith and as an actual tangible apology because I believe actions speak louder than words, for making that lovely comic and subjecting you all to it, when I get my next paycheck I will be donating fifty dollars from it to the Southern Poverty Law Center. I don't make much but that's about half of what I'll have left over after I pay my bills and such, and I believe every little bit counts. pentyne fucked around with this message at 05:18 on Aug 15, 2022 |
