Ask me about calling people racist because I failed geography.

sure okay posted:

Those people dont post here. But also, maybe people should post those who loving cares. If you think its worth sharing why not? You paid you ten bucks, youre a part of this community, if you think someone is as good as RLM or Kermode or Jenny if thats your thing lets see it.

What exactly will happen if this thread goes from 60 posts per day to 90? Will it go back in loving time?

that kid who reviews fast food while wearing ill-fitting thrifted suits has almost twice as many youtube subscribers as RLM, so I won't dissuade anyone from making weird nonsense on the chance that they eventually find a niche that works.

Super strict rules about discussion is sub-reddit levels of moderation. There's still a line though. SA has a thread in CC for people who make videos and have a channel (https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3987059). Xjakk posting sometimes if he thinks he's got a good one can be ok, it would just help if he'd gotten better over time. Him putting up every video and posting production updates is too much.

I can understand wanting a thread to stay on topic, but seeing a mod come down on XJakk and stopping his vids really riled me up.

I don't blame the mod, because I like I said no one was generating reports for linking Kermode and Mayo vids or talking about their takes, but they are in exactly the same boat.

They're better at it, sure, or you could say more suited for people who also like RLM. But when you shut down XJakk's vids and only his you're basically saying to the guy "you will never be as good as those other youtubers, and we've run out of patience in believing you ever could be. Your time is up and your content just isnt up to the quality bar of the thread."

loving what bar? Also, he can hear you. He posts here. Lighting the guy up for the crime of trying to entertain for free. Getting mad at the injustice of having to scroll past him. Unbelievably lovely

Either all non-RLM vids should be barred full stop, or the dude should be allowed to post his stuff so long as its also about criticizing media.

Yall got me HOT in the collar on this. I don't even like his vids!

no it isn’t. there is an entire universe of media/film critic youtubers that will get you yelled at and probably probated if you post them here because they aren’t RLM

like what are you talking about, do you see anybody ever posting another film critique or news channel here?

Yeah he was always an inoffensive presence and I hope he's ok.
His videos didn't look appealing to me but, y'know, scrolling past them took less effort than rage posting about them.

I don't think this is true because I just glaze past the guy's post (he also just posted discussion stuff not related to his videos, remember) but I'd have to scroll past more than one post of people whining that xjakk posted at all. Just...don't watch his videos, don't reply to him, or just ignore him (using the handy feature) and then dang you don't even gota scroll past his post because it becomes a tiny-rear end line and you can instead read everyone else going "abloobaloo a person I don't like posted a thing I don't like"

I've never watched the dude's videos either but he isn't lovely and heck, that's good enough for me. Never not post.

Deal with it.
It'd be kind of cool and completely unexpected if the comic book movie genre's death comes at the hand of a massive auteur project self immolating.

It'd be like the end of New Hollywood in the late 70s/early 80s except much dumber.

Actually it's not as bad as I thought, basically it only has to be like the fifth highest grossing non-disney non-animated musical ever in order to break even if we go by twice budget. Sounds like a sure thing in the proven ironic dark super hero musical genre
