Heck Yes! Loam! posted:why is this Chapo Trap House clip not in the op: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4-g6vhiX1I It's a bit older, started with the Internet Atheist community in terms of the style, a lot of the old guard (Amazing Athiest, thunderf00t) and the obsession with 'pwnage' over actual debate. The rabid anti-feminism has been a undercurrent on the internet for a long time now, but it started galvanizing around the Elevatorgate fiasco within the Atheist community (And 4chan/reddit outside of it), then first started bubbling over with Feminist Frequency before going full blown shitstorm with Goobergate. Obviously that's glossing over a lot of poo poo, but it was a long time coming. GG was just the push it needed for the more rabid to go large.

I've been watching clips of Bill Nye's new show recently, and got a little curious after seeing some... choice comments on these clips and turned off my censorship add-on for a moment to see the recommended videos. It's pretty funny to see the self-proclaimed champions of science, logic and rationality tripping over each other to pump out hour long screeds calling The Science Guy a cuck or a SJW or a (((Globalist))) for... laying out scientific arguments for progressive policies. Truly the intellectual minds of tomorrow

Lightning Lord posted:Did Gamergaters in general really think the likes of Zoe Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian and Leigh Alexander were ugly or were they just attacking them in any way possible because uh Bit of column A, bit of column B. GooberGaters pretty much scrape the bottom of every barrel when it comes to attacking their targets. Remember that entire thing where they decided that some of their targets having brightly dyed hair meant there was a Feminist conspiracy to turn off men with "SJW hair"?

PiCroft posted:Game grumps, Yogscast, Jim Sterling, possibly Total Biscuit although I haven't watched TB in years. TB was big on GamerGate and continues to be a smug, rationalist rear end in a top hat. Beyond that his content is the worst kind of self-important, rambling gamer shite, only good if you enjoy 30 mins wanking over options menus. Noah Caldwell-Gervais is pretty cool if you can get over his weak editing, does interesting longform thinkpieces about games and is generally just a chill, soft-spoken guy. Deified Data posted:Game Grumps is pretty chill, which just springs to mind due to their Jontron adjacency. His racism was why he got replaced right? He was generally just a toxic rear end in a top hat. It got to the point where entire sections of video had to be reshot or heavily edited because he'd start screaming racial slurs or other unfunny garbage. There was also an incident where he actually pissed himself and just kept playing despite Egoraptor telling him to loving clean himself up several times. I can't remember if that was why he got let go, as he moved to New York shortly after leaving the Grumps, but there was definitely a sense that it was a factor.

Guavanaut posted:Yeah. I can see why someone with NRM fundie parents might go full rational atheist, and yet have some weird hangups about women, but he'd probably be mostly okay if GamerGate hadn't happened and he could stick to making sick burns about sky dads. GG seems pretty much inevitable in retrospect now though, even if For a while it seems like Anita was going to be that catalyst, but that never really bubbled over properly until one certain manchild didn't handle being dumped very well. Looking just before 2014, the ingredients for GooberGate were all there but it's incredible to me that the ultimate spark was from such a banal and pathetic place.

Honestly, the warning signs were kinda there. Before this I'd only ever hear of her because she said some dumb White Feminism/TERFy bullshit that usually ended with some mealy-mouthed apology. Looking back, her "Truth is in the middle, we have to hear both sides" position was going to make her at the very least a useful idiot for regressive shitbirds.

LanceHunter posted:Really, I'm kinda surprised that VidCon is even letting these drama magnets in. I mean, they seem to be interested in getting more corporate and mainstream each year, and you'd think that having a bunch of alt-righters showing up and making a stink could hurt that agenda. Nerd Cons have never had a good track record of keeping an eye on and dealing with potential troublemakers. Though as SNG said though they probably won't start anything IRL, just try to stir up some Twitter drama as they always do.

'SJWs' aren't a cohesive group like the Alt-Right and the Rationals are. Hell, the word has lost all meaning by virtue of those two groups using it to describe pretty much anyone they don't like. At best you could say some fringe leftists on Tumblr/Twitter, but they're so insignificant they hardly count.

The Manosphere, the white nationalists, the "alt-light," young Republicans, the 4chan crowd, and further subdivisions within those groups. Yeah, but that still doesn't make "SJW" an actual group though. It's an nebulous concept that has lost what little meaning it had.

Fados posted:Why did she have to address Carlgon personally instead of let's say point out of his videos actually contribute to cyber abuse. I guess that would've been a much greater ownage of the rationals to me, to point them out to their faces in detail how they are fact, garbage humans. It feels a lot less useful to just state it directly. About the point of swaying people, yeah well I'll drop it because who cares about this internet drama anyway. It just reminds me of the "Deplorables" style of activist/public discourse which I think is counterproductive, even if in this specific case I know she probably has a personal moral right to do it. Honestly, the way he's melting down on Twitter right now, going for the quip instead of anything more substantial was the better call.

Fados posted:I'm not defending Carlgon, he deserves to be called much worse, I'm just bothered that they will monetize this bullshit for weeks to come, and I feel she could've prevented that somewhat by using the opportunity of them and being there to point out in what specific way, what they do, makes em human garbage. I don't really fault her either way for going for her cathartic moment given the circumstances, I just feel like if I was in same place I would've tried something different. No matter what she did he would have made bank of it. If she'd ignored his presence he'd have called her a coward, if she'd had him removed he'd have went just as ballistic as he is now (if not more so). Hell, if she invited him on stage for an impromptu debate he'd have found a way to spin things to make him the victim and rake in those shitlord bucks. Fuckos like Carlgon are disingenuous cowards, the best thing to do is not give them the pleasure of legitimacy.
