Why people laughed at creationists was a good series and armored skeptic had some good videos in spite of the retarded gimmick stolen from logicked, who actually probably also belongs on this list for similar reasons to AS. same, though i liked thunderfoot, he did a cool campaign against sack of poo poo tvangelica "healer" peter popoff.

SHY NUDIST GRRL posted:Armstrong is one of my favorite villains because the reveal that he actually has ideals and goals (being presented as heartless and greedy before) makes him more of a monster. i like the empire or at least find them interesting. and Armstrong is basically the idealized version of trump if he was actually charismatic or smart. also andrew ryan is villian i love because i can see why he beilives his awful bullshit.

MiddleOne posted:I think this might actually above all (well ignoring the blatant racism and sexism) be why it got such a hugely negative reaction from the alt-right. In the old movies it was always subtext where in The Force Awakens it was just straight up 'hey look at all these horrible nazis'. Not to even mention how stoic Darth Vader got replaced by a whining Kylo Ren. Don't want anyone to get the wrong idea about your villain's? Just make them overtly pathetic. The movie even with fucks with you if you think this kind of character is cool, it was a very deliberate choice to keep Kylo in Helmet and mostly quiet for the first half the movie to then raise the veil and show the audience the bumbled mess of emotions that was hiding underneath. Pretty much but I liked kylo Renn, because he is basically a sad brains fanboy of his grand pa and a inversion of Vader. Vader is cool because he is a scary monster who has a quiet but commanding presence. Kylo is the site equivalent of a school shooter. OwlFancier posted:I was gonna say the original three movies has the empire as more like fantasy bad guys than "realistic" bad guys, which is in keeping with the idea that it's a fantasy film with the words "laser" or "space" placed in front of a lot of the nouns. Pretty much.

business hammocks posted:There's a book about them and the rest of the alt-right coming out tomorrow: i like nagal and honestly i think she understands the alt right the best and how/why they tick and its more complex then a lot of people act, not that its excusable. business hammocks posted:I may have said this before, but I like how direct and earnest Anita Sarkeesian is with her videos. It took me a long time to realize that the title of this series is a pun on "freak show" because she's so straight-laced and direct. I'm so used to weary irony and cynical contempt that it's very refreshing to see someone who's simply appalled at our horrible world, as my simmering cynicism prevents me from really acknowledging that truth. It's probably a much healthier response and I wish it were more natural for me. I love Contrapoints, but his "dark mother, cold mother" riffs on her do a disservice to what she's about, although I like him have probably lost the capacity to be shocked without prompting. yeah, he stuff has gotten alot better, but i prefer Lindsey ellis, contrapoints, and liana kerzner. her old stuff under her old co-director and co writer was pretty ehh and once he hosed off she got better and less straight faced preachy. I dont agree with everything she says but she is better.

One of those leftists who's not wrong but might need to be reminded now and then to tone it down some because your not helping. i am sorry, but that guy is massive prick and waste to the left in my opinion. what sucks is i agree with alot of his left leaning stuff(bernie, help the working class and poor rural whites/poc, engagement ideas.) but he is morality police type. He has a hard on for violence in video games and movies and every e3 he goes off on a twitter tirade. if its not loving newt from harry potter or steven universe, its toxic and bad. he carries the puritan cultural memes hard from his evangelical days and he veers pretty drat close to jack Thompson territory alot. the best part is most of the other activists in the gaming community, openly mock and laugh at him. the dudes loving toxic. i mean the dude got pissy because they made tracer a lesbian because she is attractive and thats bad because guys would find that attractive potentially and if guys find it attractive its toxic. people called him out on it and he backed off. he also tried to bring down normal boots after they threw jontron rightfully to the curb. he got mad because they must have known his politics and they were all complicit and should shut down their channels too. he starts poo poo and when people call him off he runs away or says he was pretending to outrageous to protect women.

Somfin posted:No kidding, that was one of the classiest sex scenes I've ever seen in a video game. It's also a really well done example of a middle aged straight white male protagonist (ie, he's interesting and fun to play) yeah really. and BJ is like a genuinely great and deep/tragic character and i am not being ironic, dude ranks up with geralt and other genuinely well written characters. I mean he is literally Samson, he is big super strong motivated american polish jew who is kept alive by his hatred of the nazis. but he has a genuinly tender side and the game doesnt fall into a bunch of tropes, the ex-nazi resistance member is genuinly a tragic and good person and you feel bad for him. and loving jimmy hendrix is there. and they honestly potray that nazis as well realistically evil and kinda make you sorta question your actions at times. its a weird mix of pulpy b movie stuff with violence and gore and weird nazi poo poo but it never goes to far in a dumb way but it shows genuine horrors of Nazism. its loving awesome and weird how they balance the stuff. i mean engel is basically GILF Elsa she wolf of the SS but she is an actual character.

Mr Interweb posted:So I've been watching more of that Destiny v. Sargon vid (it's a very long video), and although I like Destiny, I do have to somewhat question his beliefs of the economic benefits of mass immigration. He knows that doing so will increase the labor supply, which will in turn lower wages, but seems to think it's okay because we'll be able to get cheaper products and goods. This seems like a common argument I've seen in libertarian circles. there is a good chapo episode out right now about the alt right and it points out how terrible liberals are at fighting/debating/interviewing the alt right. part of the reason is that kinda poo poo. jontron is easy because he is an idiot who parrots poo poo whispered in his ear.

Not surprisingly she is deeply sympathetic to women like Sarkeesian who have been the recipients of multi-year hate campaigns driven by the alt-right for the gentlest basic feminist critique of some video games. this. Sarkeesian is good, i don't agree with everything she says, but its mostly cool and good and she doesn't deserve the poo poo she gets. sure she worked with some shitheads but she was smart enough to remove them and broaden her approaches. 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.

Dreylad posted:As Nagle argues, Tumblr politics matter as much as 4chan politics insomuch that they themselves aren't important but the kinds of transgressive identity politics they dole out have spawned bigger movements and reactions across the Internet. Being critical of the extremes of identity politics isn't condoning other kinds of criticism that tend to come in the form of the harassment of women and minorities. Nagle herself is a feminist and she criticizes modern ID politics from a feminist perspective. this. i need to pick up the book instead.
