The last post raised two questions in my mind:

A LP doesn't necessarily need to be complete to qualify as such, does it? It's expected that they do, but it's not really obligatory, right?
And what has Konami done to ruin its reputation like that? I really need to find a way to keep abreast of gaming news...

Here, paradox, this will explain everything

Competition is good and it's good that YouTube is trying to compete with twitch. Hopefully it will inspire twitch to branch out of emoticons of white guys making completely indecipherable faces.

Update: these are poo poo: https://twitchemotes.com/

Why are there 6 Taco Bell promotional emoticons? That's among the stupidest promotions I've seen.

Totalbiscuit is chilling in the comments, I think it's a GG thing.

He made a comment saying "first they ignore you, then they laugh at you..." Does he think that he's part of some revolution or something? How on earth did he think that was even close to relevant?

I really don't think it was planned from the beginning but that he/they/whoever saw how it blew up and then capitalized on it.

Edit: I don't doubt that ABC and Maker communicated to organize that last video but I really don't think that they purposefully did something controversial as a catalyst for it. It's less "cynicism" and more "trutherism".

You do know he stopped doing that after people complained about it, right?



PewDiePie at least seems to want to better himself, and he has shown some integrity lately so I do respect him for that, but it's pretty hard to forgive him for his past behavior.

Of course none of you would dislike pdp for his rape jokes if he were not Internet famous. His actual content is irrelevant. The flaw goons harp on is just convienent to cover up the distaste of someone getting rich and famous off your hobby.

That's really insightful of you. I hope that, at some point, I can reach the same level of enlightenment as you have. I never would have guessed that nobody would've cared about a famous person's behavior if they weren't famous. I was certain that goons kept a running tally on everyone who ever made a rape-joke and the revelation that this wasn't true has blown my mind, but I'm glad of it because it means that I'm slightly closer to the euphoric intellect that is you. :jerkbag:

I'm sure there are people who feel that rape humor is never OK, and you are entitled to that. I will not take that away from you.

I would think the issue here, regarding PewDiePie, was partly that his videos have a young demographic, and partly that he was making these jokes so often that they could be compiled into their own montage video and he can now be known as "the guy that made all the rape jokes."

That's my view on it. The rape jokes were so common that it became a big part of the "character". He even uploaded a god drat song called "It's raping time". Yeah, he apologized, stopped with the jokes, and took that video down which is great but that doesn't make his past actions okay. I really, really don't hate the guy, (I find him a lot more pleasant that TotalBuscuit) but I can't say that I like him either... he's just someone who exists.

Please just allow me this one question: why does everyone freak out when the Gate is close to being talked about, to the point that it is reserved for GBS? It's a terrible thing on the Internet, I know, but why that specifically is taboo instead of any othet terrible thing?

e: also how far did you make it in the first guy's video, because I am 40 seconds in and am already tempted to close it.

Because that means that you care about something and that terrible label must be avoided at all costs.

The problem with Bisnap is that he doesn't edit his videos at all so you end up with hour long videos where he'll barely progress at all and it makes for incredibly unfun videos to watch.
