I use GGautoblock. I use GGautoblock because having a twitter feed free of them makes my life much smoother.

Jason and a good portion of his fans are, unsurprisingly, on the GGautoblock list.

He's mad that I blocked him, basically. And him being him, he whipped up his audience into a "Kyle is a Dick" party.

So I block more people showing up in my feed, and the circle of life continues.

I was confused at first as to what a GGautoblock is.

When I figured it out, I chortled.

Keep up the good work, Kyle. Love your stuff.

Don't want to quote BottledBodhisvata as it appears the rest of the thread has them on ignore, but I think they brought up a good point. Except the caricature was created by Jeff Dunham who also created a Mexican Jalepeno named Jose.

But Jeff should just be condemned for being unfunny.

Quick notes on the sequels: Fate/stay Night UBW completely Shat The Bed Oh My God You Don't Know You Just Don't Even Know, and it wouldn't be so bad except that Type-Moonies are the literal worst fandom in creation short of maybe bronies but I think they could give the bronies a run for it, because they made managing that show and its editorial a living hell from the beginning but became ten thousand times worse in its second half. Anyway, the second half of FSN UBW was so sanctimonious, anticlimactic, gross, and just plain un-fun that it totally soured the first half for me and a lot of other tentative fans of the new series. (But we're filthy secondaries, so we don't matter to the True Fans.)

Something I learned while posting about it in the UBW forum here at SA is that UBW is not meant to be taken as a direct follow up to F/Z. This came after I posted the fact that there were a lot of threads from F/Z that were not even addressed (for example, a huge one for me was the fact that Saber did not react at all nor at any time address the fact that Shirou was Kiristugu's son). Something that came up a lot in the thread was the fact that if there are any inconsistencies between the two, it is the fault of F/Z, not UBW, as the material for UBW was written before F/Z. Also, there apparently is a route that better gels with F/Z than UBW within the Fate/Stay VN. Felt like a cop-out, but at the end of the day, I was able to divorce the two. While my reaction wasn't as strong as yours, I definitely felt that UBW was underwhelming, standard shounen fare with better than average fight scenes and I probably would not have watched it if I knew it wasn't meant as a follow up to F/Z. The series felt poorly paced, the main character was almost insufferable, and while there were some good moments(Taiga's and Rin's scenes were usually a lot of fun), the series felt like a slog to get through.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Please explain rather than just making a passive aggressive jab, unless it was just meant to make you feel good about yourself. Then just don't bother.

Gyges posted:

If Jeff Dunham were just unfunny, he'd be unremarkable. Unfunny guys who somehow make money in comedy are a dime a dozen. It's the combo build of adding casual racism and lovely puppetry to the act that really demands the condemnation.

I should have stated how unfunny he is. It's my fault, really. He is at the nadir of comedy. The racism and bad puppets don't help.

I wouldn't factor her twitter posts into what she puts into her videos. All of those are basically the exact same thing her boyfriend posts which leads me to believe that he just hijacks her account to leverage her fame into legitimizing his opinions. That's speculation, of course, but they say the exact same thing it's almost uncanny. He comes off as an insufferable, condescending prick while she has more tact and grace than that, despite what anyone thinks of her opinions or work.

If this is true, the irony would be palatable.

The irony is that if her most radical detractors didn't constantly give her so much ammo (threats on her person, inappropriate comments, etc.) and just let her carry on as she would have, she would not have even half of the attention she has today. Also, people would be more open to look at legitimate criticism of her work rather than treat every negative thing said of her work as from the mouths of misogynists, neck-beards and basement dwellers.

Basically, gently caress gamergate.

So did anyone post Todd's new music review that came out a couple days ago? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPFjVy87HJM

He really hits most of the points as to why 'Hello' was disappointing (it's basically a lesser retread of 'Someone Like You'). He didn't mention the fact that it sounded like a depressing dirge and is very hard to listen to.

Yeah, I've already seen Todd's list. The songs I most agree with are 'Only', 'Dear Future Husband' and 'Marvin Gaye'.

If you guys want to listen to a Nicki Minaj song featuring Drake and Li'l Wayne that isn't complete garbage, 'Truffle Butter' says hi.

I honestly think 'Marvin Gaye' might be worse than 'Afternoon Delight'. At least Bill Danoff and company didn't besmirch the names of any deceased soul legends!
Also, it got to #1 in the UK. I can't remember if I've mentioned that here, but I may as well remind people of that fact, because WTF, Britain. 'Common People' didn't get to #1 but this garbage did? Eurgh.

'Marvin Gaye' is worse than 'Afternoon Delight' for the sole reason that the statement "'Marvin Gaye' is worse than 'Afternoon Delight'" can now exist without a hint of irony or contrariness.

I'm just gonna leave the video of Doug bitching about Fair Use here without comment. Figure the thread should see but I don't have any real input myself.

Edit:
I guess what annoys me is that he comes at this as the Nostalgia Critic and not Doug Walker. Sorta weakens the whole argument when he's a character than an actual person.

Reminds me of when PeeWee Herman spoke to me about crack cocaine.
