Don't know if I agree with his opinion on Brutalism. I admit, a lot of the critiques can be true and a lot of Brutalism can look bad, but the example he gave of what Brutalist architecture he liked seemed... So much bleaker than a lot of the other ones he disliked (the plain, flat concrete slab separating the flats was just... Grim looking to me).

The one thing I remember about BotL was one time when I made a snide remark that they DIDN'T respond to, which caught me so off-guard, I wondered if they actually were stung by it.

Brutalism gets unfairly villainized when it's hostile architecture deciding we don't get public benches because an unhoused human might sleep on them that's the real antagonist.

the design of the DC metro is still a masterpiece of 20th century public architecture, imo. though i will definitely admit that a lot of it above-ground was the result of a kind of 20th century modern utopianism that has definitely aged poorly

Why focus on an actual real example of hostile architecutre that has a negative effect when I can rant about how a style that hasn't been in vogue for years if not decades is evil and bad and offended me personally.

Blue likes to talk about architecture, both in terms of its history and its aesthetics. Which is only a slight digression from his usual role on the OSP channel where he talks about history in general. Eventually people asking him about Brutalism would lead to him articulating his opinions on it.

If the fact that he has an opinion that differs from yours personally offends you, well, I think you're telling on yourself more than anything.

I think the video is being incredibly fair, especially since it calls out both its role in revolutionizing housing and the works of Lou Kahn as positives. But it's not unfair to identify its aesthetics and impact as being almost the exact opposite of what its original ideological foundations were meant to evoke.

As a response to "why doesn't this youtuber make videos about current events instead of wasting time on architecture that hasn't been relevant in decades?" I could've just posted the Ziggurat of Ur video to be glib, but I decided to post a number of other architecture videos to illustrate where OSP Blue is coming from and what he finds aesthetically pleasing and historically interesting.

I was making a sarcastic remark. It didn't personally offend me.

I am aware of both Blue and OSP, but I'm also aware they have a long history of getting stuff wrong and being boneheaded about it. Blue is rather notorious for being about history but often his videos and takes being deep in pop history.

I'm watching the Super Eyepatch Wolf video about fake videogames and the only other thing of his I've watched is the one about Fear and Hunger... is having a five minute existential crisis because he feels old a normal event in these? I've seen people talk about his histrionics, this just felt like it was crowbarred in, like something he had to do for an advertiser or something.

The stuff he's covering is interesting and I liked his delivery aside from that.

hes a guy with an extremely surface level understanding of the stuff he covers that he mostly compensates for by inserting 'drama' into the video with fake histrionics and sounding like hes always on the verge of tears

"Super Eyepatch Wolf has an existential breakdown mid-video" does seem to be a recurring gimmick, yeah. In his Garfield creepypasta video he spends... oh, probably a good five or six minutes melting down because his mom found a picture of him wearing a Garfield shirt as a kid despite his very emphatic denials that he was ever a Garfield fan before the video. It's a weird tangent and honestly felt uncomfortable. The rest of the video is fine, it's an interesting look at an internet subculture hell-bent on crafting surreal horror from the banal, but I can't watch it again because we hit that stretch and I can't help feeling like I'm watching a guy try and talk himself into some kind of mental illness. Because of a picture of him as a six-year-old wearing a Garfield t-shirt.

Yeah, the problem with that SEW video is that he repeatedly just bought the most expensive option w/o checking with anyone who knows and kept blaming everyone else when it wasn't actually what he wanted. Also inventing codenames like " The fixer" for customer service/ Brand reps. The mental breakdown is just a general problem with all his videos.
