why do so many youtube atheists seem to understand almost nothing about what they're criticizing? Like, poo poo you would learn by reading a book or two or taking the most basic world religions course in college.

especially people who use the "the bible has been rearranged and was written by humans, not god :smug:" as a crutch, like ecumenical councils and redaction criticism weren't a thing

I don't know if a lot of the people saying this sort of stuff even realize what their opinions directly imply. There isn't really any grey area between a literal Nazi "some races are inherently inferior to others" view and acknowledging that different outcomes are the result of people being exposed to different circumstances outside of their control.

Plenty of people do actually think that black people are genetically inferior, they just see it as facts and not racism, because racists are bad people and they can't possibly be a bad person

Rough guesstimate, how many YouTube gaming channels are out there that aren't explicitly misogynistic and racist? Every single big channel I click on takes about 2 videos before they start making TRIGGERED jokes and making fun of feminists.

The only one I really know of off the top of my head is Cinemassacre, which is probably the most sweet and pure channel on YouTube

i'd wonder how many gaming channels can even compete in the marketplace without catering to the bigoted tastes of people who watch youtube gaming channels

I mean, I don't think it's a situation where gamers are going to specifically complain when a YouTuber doesn't do the whole anti-feminist thing, they'll typically only complain when the YouTuber shows any affection for women or minority groups

What is it about gaming that attracts this type of ideology anyway? It's not like every other traditionally "nerdy" hobby is just as toxic and horrible, gaming is by far the worst, with maybe comics at second place.

I think I talked about that last thread, but in all fairness, 99.9% of YouTubers going out of their way to make a video about that are going to come from a place of misogyny. James just genuinely really loves Ghostbusters

Its not hard to find channels that aren't misogynistic and racist, at least not openly.

Some stuff I know: Jerma985, Star_, ThatGuyTagg, Errant Signal, Superbunnyhop, Mark Brown, Kim Justice, Lazy Game Reviews, Matthewmatosis, Pushinguproses, Accursed Farms, Mattvisual, Ahoy, Digital foundry, MrBtongue (he openly mocked Gamergate when asked about it, much to their chagrin), Outsidexbox, theres tons.

I used to watch Jerma a lot, I went back to watch some of his newer videos just to see tons of people in the comments screeching about his "SJW" girlfriend

gonna take a wild guess here and assume he's never heard of either of those things and he's just looking to blame millenals for whatever

for some reason people get real cagey about making claims about math or science but when it comes to history or sociology you can just make poo poo up and assert your opinion as fact then accuse people who disagree with you of ignorance

history and sociology aren't real disciplines and are infested with leftist cucks, silly :rolleyes:

A quick google came up with this livestream hosted by Carlgon where Anthony participates and yeah, you guessed it, it's about Anita and feminist frequency. I don't have the stomach to listen to this poo poo, so I can't tell how much of a rear end in a top hat he is but by the company it's probably not good.

The Fantano thing is really confusing because he is (or was) pretty progressive. He's mentioned feminism in a positive light in a lot of videos, and made basically a whole video about Varg Vikernes being a racist shithead.

I suspect he's more of a "everybody deserves an audience" type, which is still very insufferable.

Hell, who do you think encourages lower working class people to be racist? They themselves don't benefit from it, other ethnicities certainly don't benefit from it.

This. Middle class white racism is the most insidious and vicious. Jethro up in the mountains probably hasn't even seen a black man in years, but the middle class have the incentive and ability to actively disenfranchise anyone who doesn't fit the paper bag test.

And in my experience, working class whites aren't as bad because they often actually have to work with the people they're supposed to hate. It's pretty difficult to harbor hatred when you work alongside other types of people for years, going through the same struggles together. It's very humanizing.

Internet atheists almost never know anything about religion, especially non-Abrahamic belief systems. From my experience, they believe all religious people are either southern baptists or muslims.

Like, it's poo poo that you could learn in the most basic World Religions course or a couple of books, but that doesn't get as many subscribers as bland appeals to rationality.

To be honest though, its not the wishy washy ones that are threatening your freedumz or life.
And you don't get much clicks saying religion X are not doing anything really at the moment.

I meant more that a lot of the "checkmate, christians :smug: " arguments they use have already had sometimes hundreds of years of scholarship on both sides, something they would know if they did any basic research into what they're talking about.

I still see people on Reddit trot out the "the Bible was written by people, not God" thing, like that hasn't been a major cornerstone in internal church debate and academia for over a thousand years
