If h3h3 had any self-reflection or shame they would remove that video. They copied someone's pee themed content, recreated it, and complain they are't making the same money. That is Ethan's model anyway. I would tolerate, even respect him, if he did that alone. But instead, he grandstands about free speech when its really about making money for no effort. Youtube doesn't screw over its creators. Youtube has let people get away with a lot. It will be a year or two of complaining before people move on or learn how to get monetized again. If anything, they are cracking down on their lazy creators like Ethan and the hate speech people. temple fucked around with this message at 14:57 on Apr 25, 2017 |

RLM became mean spirited and, combined with their insular attitude towards the greater internet, makes them ripe for adoption by the certain elements. Their nerdcrew parody can viewed as taking snowflakes down a peg. Its wink and nod that may not be intentional but readily appreciated by youtube idiots. I was always apprehensive about RLM because their kind of humor could swing in any direction but they mostly go for the absurd instead of spiteful. But I wouldn't be surprised if they went on a rant about the urban community needing to pull their pants up.

khwarezm posted:Dodgy gender essentialism aside, the physical differences argument you see in real sports doesn't apply with videogames and I think it will be quite interesting to see how things develop in E-sports as more and more women filter into what has so far been a super male dominated arena with the reduction of social pressures that typically made games, especially 'hardcore' games, something girls weren't meant to play. IDK but I think it was assumed that women have better fine motor skills and muscle endurance. Its isn't biotruths because it doesn't inform behavior.

Rugoberta Munchu posted:The Neo-Nazi fascination with video games and anime is so weird to me since old school Nazis hated stuff that was modern and not European. Neo-Nazis idolizing Duke Nukem seems fitting since it's a hypermasculine relic from decades past whose most recent incarnation sucks. Also fashwave seems pointless since it's indistinguishable from regular mall music without knowing who made it. Nice cameo by the dude from They Live since misinterpreting movies is common with the alt-right crowd.

That guy Destiny that debates the alt-light used to be a video game streamer. Maybe he still is. But he's no longer relevant in SC2 so he transitioned into something else. Right now is the golden age for this youtube stuff. Pewdiepie is an example of the future. I waiting for youtube personalities to get prettier and better produced. It has to trend that way or it has to become less profitable for an skilled creator. Its entertainment after all and these fat angry dudes will age and won't relate anymore. They will have to do something else.

I was comp sci but it was attached to the engineering school of my university. Growing up, I was in engineering clubs. Most engineers I knew were bitter jerks aka nice guys. Compared to others; they were betas to jocks, felt smarter than business/frat guys, thought they were cooler than med/science types, and imagined themselves more macho than arts types. They felt entitled because their classes were allegedly harder than everyone else's. Engineering attracts men with ego but fear of confrontation. They love indirect competition. Grades, credit hours, projects, I knew guys that would calculate the total number of points earnable then brag about making 500/575 points in the course. This was consistent from my teenage years to adulthood. Its not compulsory thing like OCD or autism. It was a neurotic thing. The kind of person with a 300 slide presentation for a 5 minute speech. They had to be better than someone somewhere but couldn't admit their own flaws. So they have to criticize everyone else. It was sad to watch them for idk 6-8 years growing up. Most cool guys I knew usually went into different fields post grad. I did. The ones who stated in ENG are hard to hang with people.OwlFancier posted:Why does programming give people more of a god complex than physics despite physics being far more deserving of the title? temple fucked around with this message at 14:43 on Sep 26, 2017 |

Anyone that gives a platform to Sam Hyde is a motherfucker and deserves whatever they get. Nazi sympathetizers love the artistic merit argument, which is second to freedom of speech. Fantano is really naive is he thinks anyone to the left of trump buys the artistic merit of Hyde. Fader definitely wrote a hit piece on Fantano but they were a closer to the truth than he wants to admit. Spoony made an ultima series and I appreciated the hell out of it as someone too young or poor to play ultima in its time. But spoony comes of as a narcissist and yes, even narcissists experience depression when their supply is removed. The way he alienated his fans and purged his following from any criticism came off as typical megalomania. He deserves sympathy for his brain problems but that doesn't lessen the danger and toxicity of a narcissist. These youtube guys don't understand that nazis are a legitimate threat to minorities, women, immigrants, gays, and trans. This isn't a political debate, there is no argument to win. People fear for their and their loved ones' survival. temple fucked around with this message at 18:31 on Oct 7, 2017 |

You can engage with whoever you want. People today suck at it and its better if they didn't. William Buckley engaged with a lot of people like James Baldwin and Macolm X. They didn't shrink from the opportunity because they were used to arguing their points and they had major stakes in winning. This youtube crowd argues to argue and they couldn't convince a person to save their life. As much as I like Contra or H bomber guy, they only convince those that are already think like them or are leaning. Ridicule only goes but so far and due to the daily show and stuff like that, people think ridicule is convincing. I used to watch hours of youtube with various black religious/non religious types debating everything under the sun. Over time, the wheat is separated from the chaff and topics progress. Its because those guys have stakes in winning people's ears and eyes. They are passionate about it. Luckily, the more rational types have been winning but its constantly changing. The moral is Destiny and Contra should be dunking on the alt-right regularly. They don't so maybe they shouldn't be the ones engaged. There isn't enough personalities to develop a hierarchy, so whoever has a webcam and editing skills gets the most opportunities.

There is a neurotic cycle of people debating the right for the wrong reasons. Debating them to share ideas or reach their audience is stupid. You debate them to prove them wrong and defeat their ideology in a non-violent way. Their audience isn't ignorant to the left's points and needing to be engaged. They didn't reason their way into their beliefs and you won't reason them out of being willfully ignorant. Debate them to avoid shooting them later. The left or centrist sorta believe the fallacy of civil debate that the right uses when the right has no intention on civility or openmindness. For whatever reason, centrists are afraid of confrontation and they agonize over stating their world view as correct and to be defended. Contra (I'm assuming) thinks she needs to open to the door to the right but really it doesn't matter. The openminded or rational ones will reach a point (like she did) regardless. Being confrontational doesn't prohibit people for hearing her points. This whole catering to the lost sheep is just providing cover for the right to present their ideas as valid. Its allowing them to teach the controversy.

TGLT posted:It's not a video game where if you get enough debate points an announcer shouts ANTIFA WINS and the nazis have to wait until the next round to try again. There is no defeating an ideology in debate except by convincing people that they're wrong, thereby starving them of support. And "you can't reason some one out of a position they didn't reason themselves into" is just dumb self aggrandizing poo poo. No, right wing ideas are not based on sound logic, but there are still reasons people believe in them. They're humans, not chaos elementals, and that "can't reason" adage is just a way to explain why your super cool rational logic isn't winning the day like Socrates while exempting you from actually trying to understand how people get to that point.

TGLT posted:I'm specifically reusing Temple's terms to address the idea that people can't be convinced, since if they can't be convinced I'm not sure how Temple expects them to change anyways. The value of a non-violent confrontation, ie debate, is that it can avoid a violent confrontation later by helping people change. That or intimidation, but there are way better ways to intimidate people than saying "Hey I think you're wrong and here's why." Because I keep telling you over and over that you don't debate them to change them. gently caress stop responding to me with that same point. You debate them to prove them wrong and confront that their ideas.

Most people shouldn't engage with nazis because most people are terrible at arguing with them. Nazis, racists, etc... are always arguing in bad faith. But twitter is good for finding sick burns that anyone can use. Unfortunately, people try to follow up those burns and just ruin the momentum.

She not fundraising for them. She going to their event to debate or discuss whatever. I don't know but she isn't going to be sympathetic towards them. You may choose to cut all interaction with the alt-right and I respect that. But she isn't an enemy of yours or ally of them because she shows up. I would draw the line at her making money and doing this regularly. But going to an event here and there isn't throwing trans people under the bus. It isn't even remarkable consider everything else she does.
