Fututor Magnus posted:i can't say anything about the average ages of people who watch streamers, but i doubt it's just pre-adolescents and adolescents. there seem to be plenty of 4chan types among destiny's following, and posting on 4chan never made anyone smart. but i'm not convinced that erudition is shunned for being masculine rather than just not required. i think it depends what your looking for. people like angry joe/ dunkey(who is more of joke concept) others arnt trying to do some super deep thematic critical thing. they are doing a basic, is the game fun/good/not broken review. if you want deeper stuff. go for errant signal or super bunny hop or Noah Caldwell-Gervais. all of those dudes are great at that stuff. personaly. i dont watch streamers. i'll watch super best friends for interesting conversations and oney plays/vinesauce group for humor.

Fututor Magnus posted:yeah, i know. i just wanted to make the point that a lack of erudition is advantageous in gaming circles, because far more people consider angry joe an authority on video games than noah gervais, as evidenced by the views each get respectively. obviously the video length factor is also there (i like to watch / hear longform videos while exercising, but an angry joe video can be finished in one sitting). perhaps gamers generally don't bother in thinking much about the media they consume. i wonder if that has anything to do with masculinity? is critical analysis seen as too nerdy, even to gamers? maybe but i think when most people are looking for game reviews, they arnt looking for some long forum college dissertation about how whatever. they want to know if its worth the 60 or so bucks. i am not saying your fully wrong. there are plenty of good sites/youtubers for good critical stuff. and no poo poo the right wing ones are bad.

Raenir Salazar posted:Plenty of aspies don't/can't get a diagnosis for family reasons or societal pressures. There are those who don't want to confirm it because then they know for sure something is 'wrong' with them and might be forced to do something about it. this is true. My GF is clearly on the light end of the spectrum(she was also diagnosed when she was 10 or so) but she refuses to recognize that she has it because she fears that she will be seen as "retarded" or damaged. it sad. business hammocks posted:Just listening to that guy's voice and speech patterns tells me there's something massively wrong with him. yeah, he definitely has the autistic "tone/inflection". thats a good indicator.

Lovechop posted:the whole thing is super long but the XJ9 / destiny chat is genuinely fascinating. jesus gently caress. what a sad broke piece of poo poo. like he is comparing himself to a pony character and how that justifying himself for releasing nudes of his gf because she played a character on some dumb game. EDIT. so i showed this to my friend who works with people with mental disibilties. he thinks XJ9 probably doesn't have autism but is severally ID.

Macrame_God posted:I wish I could get just the highlights though. The whole thing is five hours long and most of it is creepy laughter and furious clicking. yeah. the dude seems genuinely intellectually disabled. like legit. he spends thousands of dollars AT A TIME at on runescape and thinks MLP will teach him real lessons. he doesnt pick up on poo poo. like he thinks his girlfriend going away for a couple days will make her monster and playing as different character on a game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-YTiYahYc0

JVNO posted:I would be very tempted to fail anyone that referenced a YouTube Shouty Man like TJ as a legitimate source. Or at least severely knock marks off any rubric item related to the sourcing of arguments. they probaly do. most colleges especially humanities(and i am sure science) is really really big peer reviewed poo poo. if its not backed up 200 different ways or from a college publishing press or whatever. its not gonna fly. loving TJ burning dick won't fly as a source.

BigRed0427 posted:For me the line is "Are we talking positively about the North Korean Government?" "Do we automatically take the side of a country, no matter who it is and who's in charge, simply because the US is always evil?" yeah, thats a pretty good definition. though i am sure there are different levels and nuances to it.
