Also, this last EC episode talked about some episodes being removed from the archive. Anyone know what was up with that?

Holy poo poo, that was wild when the plastic pants guy went directly from that weird kink story into talking about how his wife passed away and the whole panel is basically in shocked silence.

Ugly In The Morning posted:I’m not gonna lie, thanks to that bizarre screed now I’m gonna have “the time for forgiveness is over, the time for justice is now” pop into my head whenever there is some kind of minor problem that is quickly addressed. Like, the rant is so bizarre that it almost feels like something that a chud would write to try and make "sjws" look bad. (As exemplified in that Oppa Homeless Style Sarah Z video.)

Sham bam bamina! posted:How often do you think he loads his site's 404 page, and how often did that one come up in the rotation? He probably hadn't seen or thought about it in years. Yeah, it's really easy for old pages on a site that aren't regularly seen or require a lot of maintaining to slip through the cracks. See: Sitting Here posted:There is an irony in coming to SA about this, considering admins just semi-recently got rid of a bunch of really problematic poo poo around the site (the 'gas chamber' for example), and there are probably still terrible things floating around the SAclopedia and site literature (please let us know if you find anything truly heinous that we missed btw). [...] The mods & admins are actively scrubbing through this site and are still unsure if all the old lovely stuff has been removed.

For some reason, The F Plus is the only podcast that Apple Podcasts doesn't sync the plays between my phone and computer. Thus, after having listened to the latest episode, I'll often get on my computer and see it listed among my unplayed episodes. Which is a nice little bit of encouragement to listen to the new episode again. And I'm glad I did, because on my first listen I missed the way the "wank! wank! wank! wank!" chant was mixed into the closing song.

You know, when I was growing up I lamented how youth-targeted media like MTV seemed to create these ridiculous, artificial categories for kids to identify with. It was so transparently phony, and so clearly meant to get kids to buy stuff through their need to identify. Now, seeing what happens when children don't have any giant corporate media hand guiding them, I think the way it used to be was better. Also, it was very funny realizing about halfway through that all the "<blank> Academia" genres were just a way for its (theoretical) adherents to admit that they wanted an aesthetic but they were still in high school. Also also, the whole panel not knowing a thing about the whole PMAB/"Pick Me" discourse was so nice. It was like going back in time to before a major tragedy and seeing people just living their lives, unaware of the doom that awaits them.

Grondoth posted:Honestly, out of all the "teens trying to make themselves special" episodes, this one was the least damaging. It's just kids pretending that wearing things with seagulls on them makes them vanguards of a cultural and artistic movement, and compared to pretending that they actually have multiple personality disorder and switching around between different people with different mental health issues so they can try them on for size, it's not that bad. Wise words. tokin opposition posted:So do u get internet social security checks? The 55+ menu at the e-IHOP? How can I and my no good friends loiter on your digital lawn?

Count Uvula posted:Good, sissies are creepy as hell and should be left in the past I ran across the site NiteFlirt recently and considered making a doc on it, before seeing that a doc on that site was submitted and ended up becoming an Extra Credit episode. The site is clearly aiming at an actual-boomer demographic (one operator's bio described herself, in TYOOL 2021, as "a mixture of Bettie Page and Jenna Jameson"). As a result of the site's demographics, there is a genuinely-upsetting amount of homophobia, transphobia, and racism all over it. Having only encountered sissy content in FPlus episodes, combing through the stuff that is out there in the wild was kinda depressing.

RandomPauI posted:I get that it means eat rear end, but I hadn't heard it before. And it read like a line from a past episode. Like, say, the Lavender Scissors episode of the F plus. I've definitely heard it on channels like Bro Science a long time ago. The oldest entry for the phrase on Urban Dictionary is from 2014. I wouldn't be surprised if it was in a doc somewhere, as it just kinda got passed around the internet over the last decade.

The author put a lot of focus on the very-brief aside that the biggest person in publishing was rumored to be an ABDL, which is already omega-level wish fulfillment for an ADBL fetish author.

The dragon usenet F Plus episode was honestly a bit sweet. Just early-internet ridiculousness that made me a touch nostalgic. (Also, Lemon’s “the mountain really came to Mohammed there” riff was excellent.) I’m really confused by the latest Extra Credit short. I can’t tell if this was someone lying for clout or what. On the one hand, those student comments were spot-on for what you see in graded online class discussions. On the other hand, I would think a professor would be smart enough to not repost students’ work to Reddit. LanceHunter fucked around with this message at 16:51 on Jun 19, 2021 |

The Vosgian Beast posted:I forget who but some podcaster I listen to made the observation that in fiction where vampires are real, people are weirdly aggro when explaining the rules of the universe to the uninitiated("Now of course garlic and running water stops them, but not crosses or silver bullets you DIPSHIT, you MORON, why would you even THINK that would work") even though there's no way they'd have any inkling, given that they thought vampires were fake. This appears to be how at least the Reddit Magick community works, except instead of one person explaining the rules rudely to a different person, it's like 500 people who all have different rules and think you'd have to be an idiot to accept any rules but theirs. In vampire fiction it makes some sense, on a meta-textual level, as these aggro rule explanations are the authors' way of saying "gently caress those other vampire stories". Kind of like how movies will sometimes insert posters or billboards from other movies that the filmmaker dislikes so that they can be defaced or destroyed in some way. As for why the redditors are doing it to each other, I don't know if it's a case of trying to imitate that fiction or them needing to be extremely insistent to help convince themselves that they are right.

ShellGame posted:This guy kept appearing in our periphery and then we found out he's made millions. I was writing a comment up here about the whole manufactured, reality-tv drama aspect of this channel before y'all got to it at the very end of the episode. It feels like that has become an aspect of any channel aimed at teenagers now. Like, you can't just have a peek into the life of the person/people behind the channel, that peek also has have all kinds of salacious drama. Also, doing some back-of-the-napkin math, even assuming a lower-than-average CPM, this kid is pulling in $25k-$75k per video. And he's uploading at least 2 videos a week.

RandomPauI posted:ShellGame, thread, can I pick your brain about how to write a doc that's basically a transcription of a comic? I mean, having done some transcriptions but never a doc, my advice would be to write it out a bit like: Character A: line Character B: line <narration/action> Character A: line Character B: line Then put the comic away so you only have the script you've written, record yourself reading the lines/narration, and listen back to it (still without the comic anywhere around) to see if what you are hearing conveys the thing in the comic that is worth writing a doc about. Also, on another note, ever since hearing the last Extra Credit episode, I keep getting "Black Yoshi" stuck in my head to the tune of Saul William's Black Stacey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRsgavuG4sg

tokin opposition posted:I'd accept ads for sex toys or whatever at the start of the pod in exchange for a steady release schedule. They're never gonna read the entire internet at this rate A steady release schedule that results in everyone getting burnt out and not having fun would be much worse than the current release schedule. Only making an episode when 1) there is a good doc, and 2) there are enough people available who want to read seems like one of the biggest keys to how the show has stayed so good for so long.

Kitfox88 posted:Do another clips4sale the first was one of my favorite episodes the second one focusing on food I actually could not get through because it was making me ill My one aborted attempt at a doc was going to be called "The Politics of Clips4Sale", where I'd search politics-related keywords in hopes of finding cases of weird political interjections and rants in C4S descriptions. Sadly, it didn't bring up much except for, like, one clip that was something like "Hillary Fucks Trump at Debate" and an ocean of soul-crushing raceplay stuff.

Antivehicular posted:I have no idea if kink-meme culture is still alive, but back when it was big, a lot of these would get responses, often very long ones. (Like the recording mentions, this was the birth of omegaverse!) I'm not sure what fraction of those fics were people really working out kinks, and which ones were just people writing something loving weird for ha-has, but it turns out that anonymous smut requests will get you anonymous smut responses. Wait, was that post legitimately the origins of the Omegaverse? I thought Dijon was just making a joke (and the poster was explaining it in such detail because they didn't expect other people to know what Omegaverse was).

I think that it wasn't as much that the Supernatural fandom was more online, I think it was that the CW was willing to fan the flames of the worst parts of the internet fandom in a way that the BBC never was.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm one of the youngest people who listen to the f plus because I tried to get my friends into it and none of them were interested. I don't know if a Zoomer version would take podcast form. It seems like youtube drama explainer channels (stuff like Swell Entertainment) are the preferred method by which the kids inject internet tragedy today.

Sham bam bamina! posted:People are broken I remember when I first heard the Extra Credit episode on the Sayonara Wild Hearts fic. I started listening to it without seeing any episode info. (In fact, I believe that it just auto-played while I was busy cleaning the house.) About halfway through I had to stop and look at my phone to figure out what was playing, because it felt like some extremely mediocre slice-of-life, slightly-too-horny literary fiction. When I finally realized who the story was about, I felt this deep sinking in my heart. Apparently, this is where we are now.
