So I sometimes browse Reddit when I'm bored and have noticed recently that a lot of stuff from /r/pussypassdenied is making the front page. It's basically guys who seem to love looking for instances where you might be justified in hitting a woman (Usually it's some gif where she hits first), and talking about it like female on male violence is some horrible epidemic that nobody talks about. How long has this particular one been going on?

I only noticed them when /r/pussypassdenied poo poo started showing up on the front page. Looking through when really bored turned out to be a real mistake.

Does it ever dry up, though? Look at Savage, LaRouche, David Duke, Art Bell. All still going, just getting meaner and crazier.

These groups are fiercely loyal once they get a figurehead. Your greater visibility may wax or wane, but as long as you stay crazy and loud, there is a bottom floor of support and income you pretty much can't go below. Especially now that crowdfunding is a thing.
Youtube celebrity is a little more fickle though. Sadgon probably will be on the dole in 10 years.

Sargon did some kind of live stream to "investigate" Macron's leaked emails the night before the French election. I am feeling no small amount of satisfaction that his preferred (fash) candidate got owned.
Can Sadgon even speak French? I wouldn't try to "investigate" their election if I couldn't.

Somebody a ways up the thread mentioned that Jordan has been pretty quiet since it kind of dawned on him how much he's hosed up his life. Pity it took this much to get it across but that's the way it is.

Edit: Al Lowe is the only one who talked to him and that's probably because Al Lowe doesn't seem to have a clue what's going on most of the time. He kickstarted another remake of LSL1 a few years back with another ex-Sierra guy by the name of Paul Trowe. Trowe is a whacky rear end in a top hat who outed another Sierra alum as trans on Twitter, and then later git in legal trouble for showing a 15 year old girl indecent images.

Lazy Game Reviews is a good channel but he mostly focuses on old games. He seems to know what's toxic and stays far away from it.

Gggmanlives is alright most of the time but gets into anti-SJW poo poo on occasion. I used to be all for making fun of them too but then Nazis ruined that and everyone who isn't completely insane is an SJW in their opinion. He's reviewed racist Doom mods before and the general response is that they're horrible but tongue in cheek so don't get upset. I think a better attitude would be to just ignore them no matter how much your fans beg. The Doom mod community is much better at policing itself than just about any other, it's 4Chan offshoots that are producing this poo poo.

I knew a kid who wore overalls to school prrtty often, and had foamy patches on them. One time he decided that I hadn't gotten enough of the meat of some chicken wings and proceeded to grab them and start sucking whatever he could off of them. I don't have high hopes for how the last 10 years have treated him.

I still laugh every time someone self-identifies as a ~*~gamer~*~.

No poo poo, people including me like wasting a lot of time on games, but basing your whole identity on ~~~ I play computer games ~~~ instead of just saying "gaming is my hobby" is dumb and sad and you should seek professional help.
"Gamer" makes me think of a screechy voiced 13 year old screaming the n-word at strangers. Thus I avoid identifying myself as such.

hbomberguy is probably the one you're thinking of. He tried to upload a video about how Sherlock sucks, presumably the BBC one? But it was blocked because copyright stuff.

Was very disappointed. As a fan of Jeremy Brett Sherlock, I never did like the new one.
It's up now and is almost 2 hours long. I thought the last couple of seasons were really dumb so I'll probably like this.

This makes me thing a Four Lions remake done with skinheads would be a worthwhile picture to make.
I'd make it a lot meaner though. With the exception of Barry most of the characters got a somewhat sympathetic portrayal.

One of the more recent books to come out shows Hux as a kid and makes him out to be a wimp who is routinely abused by his dad. He's probably more hosed in the head than Kylo is since he was the one who wanted to kill a bunch of planets the most.

We're coming up on the 10th anniverary of Aurini's first video on Youtube, which features his dumb skull. Uploaded on June 14th 2007, right around the time I graduated from high school, and Davey hasn't experienced any personal growth at all in that time.

Some people just are never going to budge if all you do is go at them with "torture is unethical" arguments. Its ineffectiveness is how you hit people who like to pretend that they're being rational. "If it doesn't work then why are we doing it? Maybe you're just an idiot who loves violence for its own sake?"

Is that why they're also so against the teaching of consent? Because that provides an easy way to figure out whether you're allowed to have sex with someone.
But man like the real world is more complicated than like your classroom. There's more ways to provide consent than verbally. Like there was this one girl who passed out drunk behind a dumpster and that was clearly her way of saying she was into me.

Honestly it's a better apology than I was expecting out of him. Still used the "If anyone was offended.." cop out.

Mike Matei's 10 year old racist comics were dug up recently but apparently he's not a big enough deal so he ignored it and the controversy just went away.

"Sorry if you were offended" isn't really an apology
It's honestly more than I was expecting. Also "I'm an idiot" at least gets to the root of the problem even though it's not an adequate excuse.

A good video game has a lot of staying power and the hard work of the developer will live on for a long time. PewDiePie might he king of the shitheap when it comes to game streamers but I doubt anybody is going to be talking about him in 20 years.

Edit: I feel perfectly comfortable classifying someone's hobby as worthless. I think speedrunning SM64 12 hours a day is pretty loving stupid. If you can get enough people to pay you to do it then what does it matter what I think? I just happen to think that jusy about any other job you can have has more value to society. Keep in mind I classify people who do actual game reviews that involve editing and not screaming the n-word separately from streamers.

Maybe pay some guys to hold up a sign that says som....


What gets me about all the excuses for the sign, which all boil down to "He's just demonstrating how crazy this is!", is he could have done that without resorting to racist humor. He could have paid them to hold up a crude drawing of a cock, or maybe just the word "penis" if that's too on the nose. But no, he chose "Kill all Jews" because he's a loving moron.

Well, if the content still exists online, you could always say you worked on video/audio editing during that time, hoping to break big. Like, this isn't some crazy gotcha you seem to think it is if you have the content still and aren't a total shitlord as part of that content.
Editing is too hard. They mostly just scream at jumpscares and crack jokes. Also, considering what passes for humor among this set you might not want to show a potential employer what your content looks like.

How many streamers actually do much editing out of maybe trimming for time? Or inserting funny sound effects because JonTron won't stop using racial slurs?

I think kids past age 9 or so can handle most violence just fine unless it's torture or rape or something like that.
