They all look like the same weird nerds that have to be told to take a shower before they go to a D&D session. If they were normal hygienic people who had friends and hobbies, they wouldn't be alt-right YouTube personalities.

Why get into all the pedantry over a being that does not exist if you can more easily debunk some idiots who's beliefs might actually affect policy. Are you loving kidding me with this? Look at the number of abortion clinics closing in red states and come back here and claim that theologians don't have any say in politics.

boner confessor posted:the funny thing is that gaming journalism is garbage with tremendous ethics problems but this starts at the top, where big studios collude with "independent" or explicitly publisher owned magazines that are little more than advertisments in the form of reviews. little indie shops are the opposite of this, but because of cultural marxism they're accused of pushing SJW feminist gaming ethics or whatever the gently caress. so much for free speech Yea it was interesting to see little to no mention of Jeff Gerstmann's firing over a low review score during the whole "ethics in games journalism" period because that was actually a big ethics violation. Funny enough, most Gamergaters hate Giant Bomb for being "too SJW."

KomradeX posted:Unfortunately the two other dude's from Red Letter Media, Rich Evans and the skinny bald dude kind of cross into that area sometimes which is disappointing Eh, they're hardly alt right for making the occasionally edgy joke. They're definitely not an example of YouTube hatred, except towards the movie Rogue One. Best Friends Play (aka TheSwi1tcher that was mentioned earlier) is an example of an extremely long running LP channel that has stayed funny and not descended into a bunch of screaming slurs.

To me, the thing separating these YouTube alt right types from actual danger is the lack of call to action. Most of them just rant, rant, rant and never propose that their viewers actually do anything, because doing stuff is caring and caring isn't cool. Like, be thankful for the overwhelming sense of apathy that plagues the younger generation.

Eripsa posted:The invention of cars also demanded an entire legal and political structure to manage. Cars don't have "rights" like people, but they are legally recognized entities with elaborate policy designed around them. No, Eripsa, we created policy to deal with drivers, not cars. Getting a license is something the human driving the car does, not something we award the car.

Dapper_Swindler posted:Quinn,,, reading her various blogs/tweets/social media even the long eron thing. she strikes me as kinda of a lovely person who uses people and throws them away. i know people like her personally, my ex was one. they are toxic as gently caress people who make you feel like poo poo constantly. it sadly wouldn't surprise me if half the stuff the ex said was true. that being said, it should never have gone public and she didn't deserve that level of poo poo. Do we need poo poo like this? This is gross and basically the same poo poo a "rational" would say, in fact, the whole tone of the thread is getting a little "rational-esque" You basically are saying that her ex is right here, gently caress you.

As long as she doesn't do anything a normal human would object to (a line she's unlikely to cross, as she is the rare normal human to end up across the internet line), she's not the one deserving of close attention here. No, you're totally right, it's just frustrating.

business hammocks posted:She really does seem like a genuine naif, even when mixing her personal life with her business in a way that increases revenue. She's not faking anything, just choosing to do it in public as if she were just a private citizen with a twitter and a facebook. She won't deserve what's bound to happen. I dunno, I think this is all very calculated on her and Chris' part. I think he convinced her how the pepes are the best type of YouTube audience, as they "engage" more by posting comments and liking/sharing/subscribing. Hell a few of them will probably starting throwing her some money too.

Trying to say which movie is "more" feminist is pointless. No movie will ever be "truly" feminist, short of a movie where a woman (preferably a black woman) just stands there and preaches feminist theory for 2 hours. And we would rightly identify that as propaganda, because it doesn't tell any story, it's just pure ideology. Any movie that is "the most feminist" would be a lovely movie, just like any movie that's "the most fascist" or "the most progressive" or what have you. If you want to talk about specific feminist themes and images, great, and I'm by no means trying to shut down discussion, some of the longer posts have been interesting as hell, but there's no point in defining an entire movie as feminist or not.
