It's not a dishonest approach. It's a fully honest one from someone who just wanted to read about the latest Girlfriend Reviews.
They obviously need distinction became they're different things, and people are literally whining about those condemning the channel when those people are such a tiny minority.
One of their videos was called something like, "Who is Girlfriend Reviews?". In it they explain the process. She may not be writing the script, but the words and ideas she expresses on their livestreams are what shape the script he writes. She also improvises.
People are whining because the "tiny minority" condemning the channel start a chain of replies and confrontations every time they do it, and they know exactly that it's going to happen every time. They're essentially trolling. That's why it doesn't matter if you choose to narrowly define a "tiny minority" by a set of specific criteria. The end result is a thread clogged up with junk.
One of those?
Doesn't seem that horrible to me
I see it more as a joke because it plays with expectations, not as some counterargument
You can disagree but it's not "nonsense." That's why y'all get so much confrontation, you frame your own opinions as the only reasonable ones and talk down to anyone who believes otherwise. Which is exactly what your "tiny minority" did at the start of this thread.
It is nonsense, absolutely. And this follow up post even more so.
"It's incredible that you believe the reality you've experienced."

Good, means I can ignore you too as your nonsense was becoming exhausting to deal with. Take it easy.
The joke itself isn't necessarily horrible, but it does dismiss Anita's points... and we all know just how toxic the rabid GG types are that like to dismiss her points, and this helps feed into that.One of those?

Then leave.
Care to link the type of Youtube videos you enjoy? Curious to know what you do find funny.
We all know who it appeals to... people who like to dismiss Anita's concerns.
Love having discussions on a forum with critics of everything who don't "have anything to prove" but enter threads specifically to shit on the topic everytime.
Sorry, what? Where exactly did I shitpost?
Like I said, the joke is that it plays with expectations. You're expecting something offensive and that is supposed to be a male fantasy. It's then resolved with something completely ridiculous. Not unlike "This is what peak performance looks like"
And yet it has the effect of it being for that audience, ie: those who dismiss Anita's concerns.
To be fair, most people probably aren't in this mindset of trying to make a political statement and own one side all the time. Sometimes a joke is just a joke and it's not meant to prove or disprove anything.
And, as above, jokes have effect regardless of intent.
I'm not telling you not to 'cancel' them or whatever, just pointing out that...not everyone is like this. Not everyone is looking to fight and make political statements with every sentence they make. If it's too much for you personally then I have no problem with you not watching them. I'm also almost positive that the Anita joke was made on a personal level in some sense, because I've been asked if that's a reason I don't play certain video games as well. She's just going to have a different perspective here because she probably gets asked different questions and such than male gamers do.
But now you ignored the other interpretation you proposed.
And there are other forums you can go to that avoid this almost entirely.
