Yeah, remember that the one bit of original material Hbomb highlighted in his video was James going on a weird misogynist digression. I would legit believe this is his best effort to change the narrative.

re: words losing meaning, one of the more sad things over the last five years or so was seeing the term "trauma" go from an actual term, into a) a personality/identity designator, and b) a buzzword for video game marketing/reviews

Miscast just posted a new video and the production values are way higher than all his previous stuff. It has funky lighting effects, wacky camera shots, animated characters, a dog in a hat which speaks backwards, etc etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GOpcmYc9jM It's also the first video he's posted since last November, he's been through some rough times and I guess he's also been spending a lot of time experimenting with film tricks

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Yeah this is pretty much the point I was trying to make, if reaction videos fell under the 'parasocial' label then so would a whole lot of widespread radio & TV formats going back many many decades Is that necessarily incorrect tho? “Parasocial relationship” as a psychological term was initially coined in the mid 1950s specifically about television, radio, and other forms of mass media. It has also been applied in the decades since then to things like attachments to political figures and to people who believe that they have a direct personal relationship with saints, God(s), and spirits of the dead. Your point only makes sense if parasocial relationships as a concept were invented in the 2010s, and only applied to internet poo poo, but that isn’t the case. And even if it were it could still be applied retroactively to “a whole lot of widespread radio & TV formats going back many many decades” and there are in fact tons of published papers doing literally that. And for guys like Asmongold and XQC who don’t meaningfully transform or expand the content that they react to in any meaningful way, don’t add context, don’t bring commentators or creators or experts on to discuss the content that they watch, often aren’t even in the room, stream themselves sleeping, etc; and whose respective fanbases watch them for hours and hours on end as though they were hanging out together and living in the same space, like what other value/purpose are they adding except to tick the “relationship” box? You think I’m trying to make some big differentiation between pre-internet content like TV and talk radio and streaming, and I’m not. trilobite terror fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Feb 27, 2024 |

Jessie Gender's response to the Somerton apology says enough. She does not need it. Even if it is sincere, there is nothing to trust about him, and he failed to apologize to almost everyone else regardless.

Fil5000 posted:I also really don't see how memory issues result in you copy/pasting MULTIPLE other people's work into your script document, breaking them up so you have the bits you want near each other. It's not a jumping off point if you're doing decoupage with other people's work. Plus his rewriting just consisted of doing a find/replace for LGBT with queer or the other way around, whatever the gently caress he did, so even if he remembered to do it it would still be clearly identifiable. Even with his insistence that he just wants to produce films (his mother's dying wish, etc.), everything he says and does smacks of "I want to do something but I don't want to devote the time and energy into doing it well". Like a number of people have said, you can make a film on the shoe-est of shoestring budgets if you really want to, but instead he jumped right to expensive camera equipment (without learning how to actually make things that look good using even mediocre hardware) and trying to hire paid actors, assuming anything he said in that regard is to be believed anyway. Dude is just lazy as gently caress but still wants to be rewarded for it.

He wants the fame, status, recognition and adulation he feels he deserves. If all he cared about was the creation itself, and the message within, he wouldn't be so eager to have his face and name front and center.

React content is also a near perfect cross combination of the kinds of content that are infinitely rewarded by algorithm driven social media content. You have: * Parasocial viewership reinforcement (whether it's a bad or good thing or being abused doesn't really matter) * Cheap, Easy, and Fast to churn out. * Usually Drama or Rage bait * Has an infinite supply of topics and sources to pull from. * Easy to just tune out to as you do other stuff. * a way to launder plagiarism and steal people's more popular content. * Has a built in reason to watch (Oh, remember that thing that happened? Or that big video everyone's watching? Don't you wanna know what other people think about it? ) Sure the content being reacted to can vary, and the level of effort put in can also vary wildly, but let's be honest here: If you searched for "react" content on youtube you're going to get drama and rage bait low effort channels either just watching the content being reacted to. You'll get XQC sitting there like a gremlin watching a more popular creator's video, poo poo thrown together like "Irish people react to American Drinking songs sung on Cinco De Mayo while shotgunning Mayonnaise" or some dumb buzzfeed tier "watch british kids eat american cereal". Because of this, the platforms love to promote it. It's so easy to churn out there is always more for the watch next feed, the uploads are consistent, simple, and the watch times are super easy to adjust to whatever length is currently favored by the platform. So it's not that people "like" react content, it's just that's it's plentiful, easy to promote, and easy to digest. It's junk food entertainment. It's not good for you, but....eh I just kinda want something right now and it doesn't matter what. Not to say that there can't be good react content, like has been said, with real experts pointing out important details and background information, but even though more effort is being put into that, it's still the same formula, and still very easy to churn out.

The lovely thing was him not talking to her about it first and then not at all afterwards. (Jessie didnt even know he was referring to her fanbase)

Spaced God posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UM8-UnjYCw This is hilarious because, at least on the topic of getting revenge on another player on the field, I kept thinking of this in terms of Hockey where that is basically a rule agreed to by the players even if it's not in the rule book. If people don't know or don't watch hockey at all: In hockey, if a player on the other team is getting too rough (as in too rough even for hockey), going for really cheap hits, or worst of all going after your goalie, their gonna get their poo poo rocked. Depending on how bad they've been going all game, they could get rocked or pulled into a fight multiple times just to make sure they learn their lesson. Especially if they hosed with the goalie. The NHL has been trying and trying and begging the players to reduce the amount of violence, fighting, and the kind of physicality that is ever present in Hockey for DECADES. But every time they try the whole of the player base just says "No" and goes back to beating the poo poo out of each other as needed. It is absolutely as much a part of the game as any other strategy. Sure it's Hockey, it's a vastly different sport than Baseball, especially when you look at how MLB wants their public perception to be. But honestly I think they should have been allowed. Dude loving broken their player's leg and he never fully recovered from that. He should have been pulled aside for a beat down during the game that happened, but better late than never.

Crain posted:This is hilarious because, at least on the topic of getting revenge on another player on the field, I kept thinking of this in terms of Hockey where that is basically a rule agreed to by the players even if it's not in the rule book. Everybody knew what Syndergaard was going to try and do - Utley included - and he had one shot to do it. He missed and that was that because the umps weren't going to just let him keep trying until he'd calibrated his aim into Utley's ribs. A similar thing happened last year between the Cubs and Cardinals: Ian Happ swung and missed wildly on a pitch and absolutely clocked Willson Contreras with his backswing, requiring him to get pulled from the game. It was an obvious accident with Happ and Contreras even hugging it out after as former teammates, but still Happ was in the box vs known enforcer Miles Mikolas everybody knew what was coming. Next pitch was way up and in narrowly hitting Happ in the jaw. Everybody regroups, okay message received. Next pitch hits Happ in the rear end, and even though he calmly takes his base with no issue the umps got together and decided to toss Mikolas for pretty much the same reason as Syndergaard got tossed: you get one shot to send a message and if you want to hit a guy that badly don't miss. idk the Utley slide loving sucked and he deserved a way harsher punishment but the whole machismo around intentionally hitting batters is really dumb. Particularly when it's not even about protecting teammates and instead pitchers being huge pissbabies about batflips or hitters watching their HR go for a fraction of a second longer than the pitcher would like.
