Real Time is generally pretty good, I don't care for Maher's comedy bits, but I think he works well in the same way John Oliver does, as a kinda funny guy often calling out bullshit, Oliver's stuff is more straightforwardly informative usually, but I like Maher's interviews and debates and he's generally a pretty good moderator.

BexGu posted:The problem is that Milo is very experienced with live show/interview/round table discussions so it would take some one with a decent amount of data/facts/research and a personality to really show him up. Milo lives on running circles around people that are either unprepared, thinking their the smartest person in the room and/or believe their cause is so just and right that no person could possible think otherwise. He's been able to run circles around people who are making bad points that have been around for a long time by either refuting things properly(like the wage gap stuff) or by reasonably poopooing the perspective the other person is arguing from. I don't recall him losing any serious arguments, and it's probably because he picks his battles and goes for things that have pretty soundly been won by other people already with him just reiterating points. I don't expect that we'll see him get trounced by anyone because he's not likely to argue a position that would be easily refuted in the first place. As people have said his religious views are his only real "weak point" and on that he's pretty much just said "it's messy/I'm still working it out" so it's not like people can really get him on that, either.

Apparently Milo's book got cancelled after people started using a clip of him on a podcast to suggest he's pretty much a nambla member. https://twitter.com/AdamRothberg/status/833800857762295808 Dude isn't verified on twitter but apparently works for the publisher and has lots of old tweets about stuff they're doing so I assume it's legit. Some of the articles about it even tried to cite his making a joke about catholic child abuse(something like "I'm very thankful for father michael, I wouldn't be nearly as good at giving head without his help") as if he was serious, and so did one of the guys in the podcast he was in. I recall seeing/listening to the podcast and iirc the topic of discussion was one of the boyfriends he had in his mid-teens(16-17) and his saying that at 14 he was one of those people that actively sought out sexual relationships, though the latter might have been on the Joe Rogan podcast, where I think he said the age of consent in the UK and US is generally in a pretty good place but there are people below it who know what they're getting themselves into and are emotionally ready. That's the sort of thing he's talking about when he talks about arbitrary cutoffs for consent, and the example he relates to when talking about a "younger boy" with an "older man" is when he was banging a drag queen at 17. Expect tears from all sides in the coming days I guess?

The backstory here for anyone wondering is that the guy is an Indonesian artist who was working for Marvel, but did things like sneak in references to the Quran about not trusting the Jews or Christians into the comic, as well as reference protests in his home country where muslims were protesting a Christian governor accused of blasphemy for quoting the Quran. After things blew up he got an invitation to go hang out with Islamists which he accepted and posted a picture of the meeting on facebook and in interviews said stuff like "I tried to tell my side of the story, but Marvel is owned by Disney. When Jews are offended, there is no mercy".

Yes they shitcanned him, he declared his career to be over and warned other people to be more careful about making the same mistakes he did(seemingly not in an apologetic way), and they've taken to editing the digital version of the comic to remove the references while the paper copies have started showing up on ebay where they're more expensive than the variant covers, and apparently the last edition of the comic the guy did has had orders spike as well. One odd change they made was the way things were lined up in the background, where someone was swinging a bat and in the background was a jewish character. https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/04/15/marvel-comics-amend-ardian-syafs-artwork-x-men-gold-1-adding-grocery/

Vincent Van Goatse posted:yeah but excluding facebook games and that kinda stuff just leads into the stinking abyss of "who's the real gamer " For the most part I'd say it's worth considering them to be different from what people normally consider videogames to be in the sense that people seem to have different expectations of them and habits, mobile games have generally been a very low barrier to entry way to kill short amounts of time rather than something people have played to get engrossed in(not to say there aren't any hardcore grandmas who play the poo poo out of farmville). The low barrier to entry aspect is I think an important one as well, because as consumers they're generally not buying the hardware so they can play games, and they're rarely buying the software in any sense either(2.2% of players spend money, 10% of those spenders(i.e. about .2% of the total) account for almost half total spending). When talking about demographics, mobile and browser games were never bundled in with "traditional" videogames by the games industry or media because they're rightfully completely separate groups, they only started being bundled together when someone thought they could make a (wrong)point about how girls are just as into videogames as boys are(Wii U e-shop numbers put them at like 7%, and Steam has about 4%(where gender is known)according to google's analytics). The "casual" or "mobile/facebook" label for games as well as not bundling them in with non-casual/mobile/facebook has always seemed like sufficient differentiation to me, I think the "real games" debate should mostly be about things like "walking simulators".

FuzzySkinner posted:But the online presence of guys like Richard Spencer? Yep. That's something I'm VERY disappointed to see being relevant. Spencer had been doing his lovely little gatherings of idiot racists for years, he'd have idiots from allover the world come to his event and could only attract a couple hundred attendees, they'd get a couple of big-name racists or some other brand of idiot from Europe and the rest would be regular American schlubs, nobody gave a gently caress because they're idiots not worth paying attention to. The anti-trump news outlets latched onto his lovely event calling him the racist leader of the alt-right(after years of the left calling everyone racist) and gave him so much publicity that he became known internationally, which was a loving retarded thing to do given what has been happening in Europe for years, where people have flocked to the genuine far-right because the mainstream political parties weren't addressing or even acknowledging problems of immigration and integration. You're going to have a bunch of people who have an almost militantly defensive attitude with regards to what they perceive as an anti-white sentiment as well as other related stuff like immigration, who may well say they don't hate the blacks or browns, and of the new people who are getting into this poo poo I think most may indeed mean it, but they'll surely get onboard with the sentiment of "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.". The state of US politics was already pushing people towards this sort of extreme poo poo, folks were in enough danger of finding the narrative of actual racists attractive, and the media basically lit a beacon for them to flock to and a banner to fly under, where they could not only get validation and consolation over their concerns but where they could get radicalised.
