His newest show is piss garbage though, it's "let's spout off a list of science facts for people with an attention span shorter than a gold fish".

It's because there are people who are even shittier than him and unable to achieve even the minimal feat of pointing a camera at their face and rambling in largely intelligible if simple sentences. If you're shittier than Carlgon, you're going to listen to Carlgon because he's at least within your frame of reference as a slightly less embarassing failure at life, not to some actual smart person you can't place in your personal experience because they're too far ahead of you.

Groovelord Neato posted:it's like new ghostbusters. thanks to the mouth breathers you can't (rightfully) criticize it because all of them flipped out over THE GHOUL FIGHTERS ARE LADIES NOW NOT MY GHOSTBUSTERS!!!??? the best part about that was those vocal chuds seemed to only enjoy ghostbusters on a superficial level anyway, like action figures and tee shirts and poo poo and not as an all-time great comedy so their meltdown was doubly stupid.  I would also be interested in a comparative study of the overlap between people who, say, post obsessively long wookiepedia articles about "Unnamed Rodian in a Jacket"'s 5 second appearance in a Star Wars Clone Wars clip (which by itself would make them somewhat awkward but ultimately harmless spergs who just spend too much time thinking about the minutiae of random crap), and the kind of people who flip their poo poo over SJW BLACK GAY LESBIANS IN MUH GHOSTBUSTERS. There's probably some overlap (the first group does include "George Lucas/Disney raped my childhood with the new Star Wars movie" types after all, though there is the question of whether this type of person would specifically be upset over progressive-looking elements or just over the fact that any changes at all were made to their favourite means of escapism), but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of spergs would just retreat into even more obscure corners of the internet to flee the increasing level of social interaction imposed on them by having to deal with the slapfight between regressive edgelords and easily triggered tumbleristas/normal people. suck my woke dick fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Jun 23, 2017 |

Yeah in the end it's just about being part of the same social circles, be it "world leaders" or "youtubers who really loving care about the internet culture war and those other youtubers who also really loving care about the internet culture war but have the wrong opinions". You might deeply disagree on everything that has real world impact, but unless you're just going to knife the other guy in the back then and there, you have to treat the actual issues as a game where all players are buddies or at least capable of being civil to avoid going mad.

Also, thisDreylad 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.

No, I don't have a problem with people who aren't trying to convince anyone having a circle jerk. I mean cases where people who at least claim to try to change or publicly debate things still act like they're having a private circle jerk, e.g. half the Guardian comment pages 18 months ago being filled by vacuous whingeing about how electing Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader is an insult to all women because electing Corbyn out of a lineup of $TokenCentristMan1, $TokenCentristMan2, $TokenCentristWoman1, $TokenCentristMan3, $TokenCentristWoman2 and actual socially and economically progressive jam man Corbyn was clear evidence for the existence of a sexist Brocialist demographic. suck my woke dick fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Jun 23, 2017 |

Groovelord Neato posted:some of us do donate money to progressive candidates and causes and also physically protest. OwlFancier posted:I find it rather strange to characterize that as "tumblr liberalism" rather than just "liberalism" "Corbyn is divisive, not statesmanlike, and due to his insistence on being moderately yet distinctly left cannot unite the country to achieve more freedoms, prosperities and rights like a ~reasonable $TokenCentrist~ with no discernible political opinions who represents the low-fat version of everything anyone could possibly be for or against" is IMO a classical bourgie-as-gently caress liberal stance. "Corbyn is a man, voted in by an unspecified mass of sexist men no matter his socially progressive leanings, and is therefore worse than $TokenCentrist" is lovely idpol that totally misses the point but makes for a great self-congratulatory comment to show how ~socially aware~ you are. Obviously, arguments similar to the latter would have already existed before (Tumblr users didn't invent the arguments they barely understand, as you pointed out), but I do have the distinct and totally not anecdotal ( ) experience that this line of "reasoning" has become more commonGroovelord Neato posted:or people saying how they cried at wonder woman despite the movie being not actually feminist at all. where were all these people when way more feminist and much better film mad max fury road was out??  harsh but true, and agreed that mad max fury road is extremely feminist (but because it's called mad max fury road it can't possibly be feminist you see)

The main reason I notice this is that this is basically how I was until the end of college or so. Even though I wouldn't have admitted it at the time, on some level I truly enjoyed the Bush years because it was honestly fun to make fun of conservatives and point out their latest gently caress-ups. There was some comfort in knowing I was right and these other people were evil and wrong. Better put than I could at this time of day

Yeah, and I wonder whether "oh wow it turns out wimmin are actually people and can sometimes do things, this is such a surprise!" is a good message to habituate the uncaring masses to, compared to "it's normal and unsurprising that women are good at things, much like other people".
