It is. Complaining about rent in NYC is like breathing air.


Agreed. I liked game grumps for a little bit but Egoraptor is a creepy gently caress so that didn't last long. There's other channels I refer to when I refer to the asshats besides just gaming.

Reaction Videos (stealing someone else's video then staring at it)



Daily Vlogs

Minecraft Roleplay (these exist)

Top ten Vids

Tons more things that people shouldn't be getting money for. Some fuckers even split something that should be one video into several just to get more ad revenue.

History will prove him right I guess.

I watched an episode when they first started out because hey I liked LPs and I liked Metal Gear Awesome and people were saying this was good. Couldn't make it more than a minute in. Then I heard Jon left and people were furious that a horrible son of an Israeli JEW took his place and this was the worst thing ever and I actually really enjoyed the video I watched because Dan seems like a ridiculously nice and genuinely funny person. I went back and tried the Jon videos again and they were pretty bad universally while about 1 in 5 of the newer ones I genuinely enjoy, especially when they had Rob Schneider on or that video where they made fun of AVGN copycats.

the defining rhetorical strategy of this era is going to be to make something up and leave it on the internet for morons to find and reframe their insecure prejudices as intellectually rebellious

1 - When half the country are fascists threatening to beat your head in for supporting Trump, you keep your vocal support of him low. It's like saying you're a jew in WW2 germany - pretty loving stupid. Leading to pretty inaccurate polls.

2 - Trump supporters were big league at showing up to vote, so even if your fake news numbers were real, it'd still be a 40% that is much more likely to vote than much of the 60% fascist opposition.

See, in a society that truly values free speech, both sides of this debate would have their words weighed and the important take-away from it should be the discussion and ideas it promotes, with both "sides" ultimately contributing to a single whole, that being an expansion of knowledge on a topic and an understanding of opposing points of view.

When you start shouting about "NAZIS" and say that one side is objectively wrong and so on, then there's no expansion of knowledge nor any consideration of other perspectives; there's just people who want to lecture others.
