Sure, have fun today, but just know that when you wake up in the morning the democrats will still be charging rightwards, nothing Trump implemented will be gotten rid of, and liberal "progressives" now think you should be a laughingstock for wanting better things for people. In short expect to see a lot of this in the next few days: https://twitter.com/kurteichenwald/status/1325182996077400064 and much worse in the coming months and years.

I thought we could all just laugh at Trump, not yell at each other over...whatever it is we're yelling about.

sexpig by night posted:also this, it's a pretty loving hard trick to kick back when the fascists Joe Biden made alliances with like loving Kasich and Powell instantly went all 'hey I know the only major losses were from lovely centrists who avoided M4A and poo poo, and in fact the progressive caucus grew during this pathetic excuse for a 'victory' you sold your soul for, but Joe's gonna put those stupid progressive commies in their place!' This was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I was ready to watch Trump break down like an ace attorney villain, but the democratic centrists trying to roll poo poo downhill on the people that helped save their bacon really pissed me off. Anyway, I agree that the internet was a much better place when there were a dozen message boards, imageboards, and other places instead of just twitter.

Antifa Turkeesian posted:It’s weird to see a genuine accusation mixed in among posts complaining about how Game Grumps isn’t as good as it was and about how they make too much money from merchandise, and all the replies talk about this like it’s another complaint about how they’re not funny any more. Because they're parasocial vultures, and they don't. Dan was one of my favorite YouTube guys, so this really sucks. I mean, at least he waited, but that's still really, really loving weird. At the same time, the issue with Dan reflects a larger issue with rock musicians in general. I don't know if this has been forgotten over time, but sleeping with young fans isn't just considered acceptable in that profession, its considered one of the perks of the job. Every famous rock musician you know, even David Bowie, has done this poo poo, and the ones who haven't are the exceptions to the rule, not the standard. It sucks. I don't think Arin and Company set out to make a kids show. I think Game Grumps was originally aimed at college students/adults. But a few years in, they figured out that was one of their bigger demographics was kids, and to be fair, they did try to adjust their content to fit this demographic. Arin's a weird man-child though, so there might be something I'm missing. Clip-On Fedora fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Mar 22, 2021 |

Terrible Opinions posted:Hmm yes very normal for someone to gently caress 10+ people who they first met as teenagers while they were in their 40s. Yes very normal coincidence and not at all an intentional pattern of behavior. Its almost like there's a class of performers in this country that are taught this is acceptable and cool behavior by the media and their peers, and when people join this class of performers, they accept and act on these values! ...nah, that can't be it.

Antifa Turkeesian posted:Honestly, it doesn’t seem like much good can come out of engaging with fans privately for extended periods no matter what, just because there’s a bad foundation to any kind of relationship if it’s born of one-sided admiration. I just don’t see how a genuine friendship or business relationship can come out of that. I think its this. They don't want a friendship or a business relationship. They want to get their dick wet. Because according to society, that's what cool successful Rockstars/Celebrities do.

sexpig by night posted:There have been tons of creators who say poo poo like 'I loving hate when I find out tinder dates are fans of my stuff because it feels so awkward' so while 'power imbalance' is clumsy wording the idea that not everyone feels comfortable loving their fans isn't some crazy idea. I'm glad you've found some creators who aren't assholes, but I've come to the point in my life where I believe most celebrities are untrustworthy, sleazy scumbags until proven otherwise. You're lucky if they don't murder anybody. Like sure, they say 'I loving hate when I find out tinder dates are fans of my stuff because it feels so awkward', but you don't know that they actually think that. They might just be saying that because they think it will trend well. Clip-On Fedora fucked around with this message at 01:48 on Mar 22, 2021 |

Sydin posted:I mean let's be honest, if that person had posted their story and evidence on the regular Game Grumps reddit they would have most likely been downvoted and yelled at to oblivion by stans of the show. A whole component of these allegations is that this has been something that's been known for a while, but gets drowned out due to GG's popularity and Dan's general likeability. This is also a strong possibility! sexpig by night posted:yea another element to this is apparently GG has been AGGRESSIVELY deleting any comments about this on their social media vids and all Also pretty damning.

Lindsay was right when she said apology demands are about control. They are, especially on social media. It was probably the right call not to apologize. However, it was probably the wrong call to tell that guy to go home and get his shine box.

You apologize to friends, family, and coworkers. People you actually know. Not people online. You don't know them, even if you think you do. Maybe people think this is a bitter or cynical or "chuddy" attitude or whatever, but in my experience Chuds love forcing people to apologize, because they love having control over people. So there's that to think about too. Anyway sometimes apologies aren't enough. Sometimes people are going to hate you no matter what you do. An apology will never fix it. I think its healthier to accept this than believe there's some golden path you can walk where you never upset or offend anyone. Antifa Turkeesian posted:Control is not exactly the right word for it, but a lot of calls for online accountability come from someone’s desire to see themselves acknowledged by another so that they know that that they exist, like they need that mirror of another reacting to them so that they have the reassurance of seeing themselves. So it’s always someone with a high-enough profile, but never so big that they obviously post through a publicist—because the apology doesn’t mean anything if the person isn’t seeing and reacting to you when they post. It’s often people who are marginalized or in a bad place, so I don’t mean to sound like I’m accusing people of acting in bad faith or being selfish when they do it. This is probably true too. I don't know. I'm not interested in keeping this particular discussion going either.

Finally watched the Snyder cut of Justice League. I liked it! I agree that it was a little on the short side though. Also, it was kind of weird that they kept calling the villain Steppenwolf instead of Kalibak, because that was clearly Kalibak and not Steppenwolf.

They're the same though. The only difference is time. Both sides care about progressive movements but only when it benefits them. For Blue Maga, its to smear political enemies, to look cool and hip to their peers, and sabotage movements that threaten the life to which they have become accustomed. For Cancel teens, its to smear people they don't like, to look cool and hip to their peers, and to deal with clicks that they don't like. When these movements threaten them or someone they like, they are immediately dropped. I guess you could say that there are more Cancel Teens that genuinely believe what they believe, but to me that's semantics. Edit: To adress your edited post DoctorWhat, it wouldn't surprise me if both groups predominantly came from suburbs. That's a pretty big potential demographic similarity to me.

DoctorWhat posted:I agree with the ratchet-and-pawl metaphor for US Electoral politics. I don't agree with its deplolyment here. Agreed. That was more addressed at Kim Justice's horseshoe theory comment. It was genuinely confusing to me. Thank you for clarifying your point, and I honestly I think we are on the same page. But I think there's still a lot of similarities in their dynamic, and demographically I think both groups are mostly suburbanites. Anyway, I don't think we are going to agree on certain points for this issue. Antifa Turkeesian posted:There’s a case to be made that all those kids getting big into online enthusiasm through corporate product like Disney movies are being prepared for a reduced moral imagination and a lifetime of capitalist consumption, as their political enthusiasm is being directed to empty questions like “is Black Panther anticapitalist” and “how is Captain Marvel revolutionary.” Like, there’s an extreme rigidity to the worldview that considers The Last Jedi the totality of possibility for art and politics. That's something that really worries and depresses me honestly. I had similar experiences as a kid. Honestly I think the biggest difference between Blue Maga and Cancel Teens is that a lot of Cancel Teens are genuinely trying to do good, but they don't know how, because they're goofy teens.

DoctorWhat posted:Thanks for being more civil and charitable to me than I was to you, COF. I guess my last coda on the subject is that, especially for queer teenagers, "suburbia" and "comfort" are not the same thing, and many live in fear of being outed or disowned, which contributes to their maladaptive behavior. Oh yeah, most definitely. Didn't mean to imply otherwise. Jamie Faith posted:I mean it's one thing to be against the neolib "hire more female drone operators!" idpol stuff. That's different. But just saying "idpol is bad" with no clarification, that's always kinda sus to me. In my experience, people online who are "deeply concerned about Class Reductionism" almost always turn out to be people like Moviebob and, well, Lindsay Ellis. Not saying its always true, but it definitely raises a red flag in my mind whenever someone brings it up. That being said, pieces of poo poo like Aimee Terese and Vaush can go straight to hell.
