KingKalamari posted:A couple more accounts along these lines I've been following lately: Scary Interesting did a video covering the Veryovkina Cave that pretty much read an article as closely as anyone in Hbomb's video. I went looking for more info on the incident after watching the video and felt disappointed to find out it was largely uncited regurgitated work. Like Illuminaughti, he often has a link to a doc of links for sources, but doesn't in the video ever mention the article or acknowledge it in any clear and visible way. Potentially he feels that is sufficient sourcing, people really seem to run on vibes about crediting sources, but in retrospect I feel less charitable. I didn't think much about it at the time tbh. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/article/flood-escape-deepest-cave-veryovkina-abkhazia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNvfJYPYO60

mycot posted:I mean he didn't say pipe bombs he just said he was sick of getting suspicious packages to his address and everybody phising for his private information to dox him. People are most joking about pipebombing one heterosexual guy I'm pretty sure. i am happy to correct the record, guy was merely being harassed to the point people were doxing him and mailing poo poo to his home, a thing that is totally normal and nbd

Nazzadan posted:The timeline of what happened because I only saw it briefly mentioned a couple pages ago is user Claire Penis posted the I Like Girls video saying she made it as an obvious joke, because JoCat's watermark is on the video the whole way through and the end of it has links to his socials and patreon. It was a "hey remember this lovely video lol" joke and her immediate reply to her own post about her partner going "wow this video sucks" is just even more proof she was not in any way shape or form trying to "steal" said video. It stayed pretty localized in her circle until JoCat RT'd it going "erm, actually I made this" which then blew it way the hell up and his fans didn't understand it was a joke and were accusing her of being an art thief (because theft is hot on everyones mind thanks to the recent good Hbomber vid). Claire started getting a lot of hate (if we are going off someone online saying they are getting death threats is proof they are getting death threats, she claimed she was getting them at this point) which caused her to private her account, and around the time JoCat released his im done blogpost she deactivated. Harassment is bad, weirdos that attacked JoCat offline are worse than any crime of being cringy he might have committed, and anyone that harassed Claire is just as bad. The new narrative I'm seeing being spun is if you dared to think his dumb video was annoying in any way you are basically the same as the person who sent a box of poo poo to his family, which is extremely not okay imo it's completely fine to think something sucks from a huge account without being lumped in with harassers. no i think clarification was good, and necessary, thanks. that poor woman as well, wish it was in any way suprising no one is mentioning what happened to her when discussing this.

Skippy McPants posted:I dunno. He got a lot of attention when he did that Concordia video a couple of years ago, and I think a lot of his growth was people looking and hoping for more of that. Videos that were funny, but also about an interesting, if obscure, topic. However, aside from the Concordia video, most of his other output was low-effort trash. Riffing with friends, commenting on current events, and recounting 4chan and videa game drama. If I had a nickel for every time someone didn't understand that Fair Use something you have to argue in court in response to a claim, and not a magic incantation which wards off claims of copyright infringement, I'd be quite wealthy now.

ublock's subreddit has a pretty exhaustive post about navigating the new anti-adblock, but it mostly boils down to don't run two adblockers at once, turn off your browser's native anti tracking on youtube (because that in itself triggers it), keep ublock up to date, and check other extensions (such as youtube enhancement suite) to see if they are triggering the anti-adblock. There is also a website tracking whether ublock's script is up to date with youtube's anti-adblock script for easy reference. https://drhyperion451.github.io/does-uBO-bypass-yt/ I don't know if similar resources exist for other adblockers because I've just looked at the one I use, sorry!

Harvester knows what it wants to be and goes for it. It's thematically and artistically coherent and has some good horror content buried within. I think the actual execution is pretty uneven and could use polish but as weird little horror adventure games go you could do a lot worse. Compare Darkseed 2, which is dealing in a lot of the same horror archetypes and the same genre of gameplay but is just miserable and uninteresting. mycatscrimes fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Feb 3, 2024 |

Yokai Watch is really fun, just running around the setting and exploring is really rewarding. It's a super dense and detailed little city with a ton to do, even before you get to the critter collecting. Very charming and engaging. Some people bounce hard off the battle system, though.

Mercury Hat posted:yeah I think "all the cool gays died of AIDS and only the loser boring ones care about marriage" was a unique take from him lol It was a pretty popular talking point on Tumblr, a kind of morphing of legit intercommunity discussion of respectability politics and priorities in activism via the eternal hot take machine until it turned into something totally insane. Being critical of gay marriage as an activism priority, worth discussing! Especially the way focusing on it can push other issues out of the spotlight. That said, a lot of people have forgotten the real material issues wrapped up in marriage such as inheritance rights, power of attorney, the right to visit your dying spouse in the hospital, be in their will, handle their estate, make medical decisions if they are incapacitated, and be on their health insurance. If you think about it for even a minute, it's little wonder why it became a rallying point for a lot of lgbt activists during and after the AIDs epidemic. Acting like prioritizing marriage is purely some invention of 'boring, heteronormative respectability queers' is offensive if you think about it for even a second. We can and should have complex conversations about what to prioritize in activism without that kind of ahistorical slander. Well, we probably can't have that kind of discussion in a social media environment, where nuance goes to die.

Feels Villeneuve posted:in fact "the gender people are cringe and scaring off the real working class" is like the coldest, most overdone take you can have if you want to play to the "dissident left" crowd To be clear, the "hot take" I'm discussing that I saw had nothing to do with talking about "tumblr genders" or cringe, it was a homegrown sentiment that people who did not have sufficiently radical aesthetics were assimilationist gays and that things like marriage rights were assimilationist priorities- a result purely of respectability politics, not arising from legitimate concerns. It carried a big whiff of the "boring gays vs cool gays" rhetoric Somerton employs in his video, and absolutely did invoke the aids epidemic in a similar way. It came from the same communities that the dissident left would be deriding as cringe and scaring off the "real" working class. Mind you, I totally believe that there were people outside the community spouting similar rhetoric from different angles. If anything, I think the diversity of places this rhetoric is encountered, and the different people it gets targeted at, is further evidence of it being an incoherent criticism based in homophobia. It's not like people willing to prioritize their personal comfort and ability to assimilate over the well-being of the community don't exist and aren't worth discussing when planning activism and messaging, but the way it is wielded in the social media sphere is often just an attempt to win arguments by positioning the arguer as the 'good' gays and their opponents as the 'bad' gays, or as you describe, to weaponize homophobia against gay people from outside the community. The older I get the more I feel like it's impossible to have these kinds of discussions productively in an online social media environment. mycatscrimes fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Mar 7, 2024 |

Famethrowa posted:aquarium chuds....on youtube perhaps red betta fish are suspiciously chudly... mycot posted:It sorta feels like people (in multiple independent instances) took the idea of queerness being anti-establishment or transgressive and mutated it into "being a queer is a political act (which you can be bad at)". Which is not really much different from the old school homophobe idea that people choose to be gay or trans because they want to be special snowflakes, lol. Yeah, I agree with this assessment.

When I heard Lisa Lisa getting chumped immediately instead of getting to have a cool fight with Kars was editorial mandate, my third eye opened. That's my least favorite shonen trend and it used to make me so mad as a teen lol. Glad to hear it's changing in Jump (although these days I wouldn't know, because I solved my issue with it by reading stuff from outside Shonen Jump).
