Every time I hear Game Grumps I'm reminded of this tweet

https://twitter.com/egoraptor/status/35062498239451136?lang=en

There's a bit in an episode where he makes fun of that and the people who @ him to this day about it.

However attempting to search for it just pulls up the saddest people in the world talking about twitter drama or whatever

Also, is everyone from the Young Turks a morally bankrupt grifter? There's Dore, Dave Ruben, and even Cenk himself who refuses to let his staff unionize and dabbles in Armenian genocide denialism.

Hasan Piker is kind of the obvious answer. Can't think of anything particularly bad he's done off the top of my head.

The author basing a character the show treats as heroic on a Japanese Imperial possible war criminal because he(the author) admires him is a bit of an oof but overall the show is definitely not pro fascist and actually quite anti-nationalist as well.

Apparently the specific Japanese general this is about is not connected to any war crimes, and very notably was not a general during WW2 despite a lot of people implying that he was.

Like, he was still an imperial Japanese general so I'm sure he wasn't super great or anything, but there's no evidence that he was responsible for any war crimes

Apologizing when people are acting in bad faith will do literally nothing for you, and in fact often make things worse because "you don't actually mean it/sorry isn't enough". We saw that poo poo happen on this very website not that long ago.

Yeah like sure she should probably take her old videos down but I really don't see why that's a smoking gun on her not being sincere.

Either way, her new content very much pro-left and has absolutely helped deradicalize at least some of her old audience, so I guess you could argue that how sincere she is doesn't really matter, since the results are the same.

On that note, wasn't it true for a while (and potentially still, but not sure) that voice gigs for anime very explicitly avoided hiring anyone associated with Abridging content?

You might be thinking of how they got the DBZA people to play the fake Z warriors in a gag for the dub of Kai, but were seemingly forced to scrap it and just go with the old dub for that part

Vtubers are basically just hired actresses, right?

Seeing everyone personalize them and get all highly specific with references to them, it's still a corporate owned mascot they could just retire the second the person doing the voice became a problem or wanted more money.

There are plenty of independent vtubers that don't have any sort of corporate backing. Also, while yeah theoretically any of the ones that belong to an agency could be forced out from their current character, there is basically 0 chance that someone else would be hired to continue playing the character, given the massive backlash to when Active8 did that to Kizuna Ai.

Big Bruder fails because it just absolutely fails to get what it's supposed to mean across.

Focusing on 4chan dipshits as if that's the only way for someone to disagree and insisting that your choice is the one true objective one is lame. As is the poo poo people do a lot where they see people make a point, and then just twist it into something else entirely

Captain Invictus posted:

in vtuber circles, "anti" tends to reference the types who are virulently and irrationally angry at the very idea of vtubers and can't just leave it be. It often goes hand in hand with the concept of a woman keeping her identity secret online, and leads to groups working to doxx and ruin them for having the temerity to be popular women on the internet. This has happened to multiple prominent vtubers, including Mano Aloe from Hololive who was doxxed and people she knew harassed by extension, leading to her retiring within two weeks of debuting. I don't know if it's similar elsewhere, but the types to harass the voice actors of a character they dislike certainly fits the bill.

That usage of the term anti and the usage of it in fanfiction circles are completely unrelated

And who gets to decide whether it’s “tokenism?”

Does the quality of how my ethnicity is represented have to go through some sort of rigorous ethics test dictated by some white motherfuckers, so that they can dictate, on my behalf, whether that representation is good or not? Because that's where this "is this good representation?" argument feels like it's going.

I think it's fail as gently caress when big studios very cynically use gay characters to try and gain a more positive image, myself.

with goblin slayer, or shield hero or jobless reincarnation you can (if you're a lovely person) reconcile most of the really bad poo poo away. "oh, the rape in goblin slayer totally isn't sexualized and used horribly, it's just a dark and gritty world". "oh the false rape accusation and slavery is good themes in shield hero aren't that big a deal, everyone gets their comeuppance and he doesn't treat them like slaves anyways" "the MC being a weirdo who continually wants to have sex with children in jobless reincarnation is fine because he grows as a character!"

redo of healer doesn't really have that because there's just...so much. The protag just wants to hurt the people who hurt him, and he does so with literal murder and rape. There's no fig leaf to hide behind, it's just out there in a way the other series aren't willing to be
