I'm not trying to pass myself off as a YouTube personality.

Edit:

Eh, why the gently caress not? I'll follow the dog rule. Me with a dog I found on my way to get more vodka at 9pm in a Polish village on a trip for my cousin's wedding.

People upload 65 years worth of video to YouTube every single day.

There is literally no way to have humans check every video that gets uploaded.

Nah, they can def have someone pull these popular channels down before it starts being reported on news agencies around the world. Daddy O Five for example has been known to abuse their kids for ad revenue for months on various reddit and youtube communities, posts about it even hit front page of reddit over 5 months ago.

Obviously they can't check every single video uploaded a day but I really do think they could hire someone to check out a channel when it has nearly a million subscribers, gets 3 million views a video and receives thousands of child abuse flags a day. Hell the video from Jan this year that caused a stink had the father push the 7 year old into a book shelf as well as the screaming.

It seems the only reports that ever get acted upon are copyright claims, wonder why that is.

I'm not sure what the rules are. I just posted the picture to show that dog, even though I found out after that the rule has since been rescinded (figured better safe than sorry since that was my first probation ever).

Still, it also has the added benefit of showing that a) I shave (or at least now keep a trimmed beard), and b) actually have my hair cut.

Dog rule is not in effect anymore, but that photo rule was a thing enforced in GBS and E/N. It was a sort of Toxx clause; if you asked for a photo of someone then you had to post your own as well or eat a ban. Helped curb shitposts.

It's sort of a beautiful microcosm of lovely alt-right stuff trying to look reasonable. Appeal to golden years (which is keeps being really vague about, if not completely changing minute per minute), glossing over decades of history to pin downfall on certain causes, "The Global Elite" (wink wink) etc. I think what engrosses me the most is it;s pacing, it;s got an almost narrative like ramping up, and how it;s logic goes from sounding kind of reasonable if you were a certain sort of idiot and then follows the logic to an insane endpoint: I could almost think of this an absurd parody if I didn't get sent it by pretending to listen to someone who thought jewish people were behind multiculturalism and immigration.

I never said I was superior. I was commenting that if you yourself are going to show yourself on camera, you could at least groom yourself. Have you seen Thunderf00t and The Amazing Atheist? I'm not saying that you need to be pretty to talk about it, but at least make some level of effort towards making yourself presentable.

Notice how I'm not the one on camera with unkempt hair complaining about how feminism is the greatest injustice since the Holocaust.

Agreed. If these speakers were actually good orators or used the audio/visual medium to its advantage, it'd be one thing. But they don't.

Also I think actual writing would force them to organize their thoughts better instead of hiding under the veneer of casual speech.

I'm new to this thread, but I recently discovered Thunderf00t via his take down of the solar frieking roadways scam. I was intrigued, but when i watched more recent videos I was amazed on what I waled into. I had no idea there were so many people out there willing to put themselves on camera complaining about women in 2 hour long stream of consciousness manifestos.

Did all this spawn from gamer gate or was that just the point where much of this became a thing? I'll never understand the internet.

It's a bit older, started with the Internet Atheist community in terms of the style, a lot of the old guard (Amazing Athiest, thunderf00t) and the obsession with 'pwnage' over actual debate.

The rabid anti-feminism has been a undercurrent on the internet for a long time now, but it started galvanizing around the Elevatorgate fiasco within the Atheist community (And 4chan/reddit outside of it), then first started bubbling over with Feminist Frequency before going full blown shitstorm with Goobergate.


Obviously that's glossing over a lot of poo poo, but it was a long time coming. GG was just the push it needed for the more rabid to go large.

GamerGate was a compaction cycle for the many factions in the Male Supremacy umbrella. That level of poo poo existed before, but mostly as a loose collection of unfuckable nerds trading tips, reassuring each other that they're not the only unfuckable ones out there, and whining about how minorities and women have so many more rights and privileges than white men. GG forced a lot of them to take a side on the matter of women in their favourite media, specifically "should we drive them out," and as a result the remaining movement is now smaller but harder, and much, much louder.

E: ElevatorGate was the big one for the Rationalists and Internet Athiests, GamerGate was the big one for MRAs and PUAs and their affiliate network of bullshit artists.

Speaking of Thunderf00t.. I've actually accidentally came upon his Twitter account and he was... berating alt-right dudes for using Nazi imagery.

On one hand, I'd really like to believe that means there's hope he might eventually stop with his rabid anti-feminist stuff, but on the other hand, there's no logical reason to assume that and he probably won't.

I'm probably too soft on terrible people.

There's also the rather cynical reality that they know they can't call themselves nazis even if much of their ideology can be easily mistaken for fascism. They're pretty dumb because they believe in a feminist conspiracy to destroy all white males, but they're smart enough to not actually be recorded as on the side of nazism.
