Well this is super disappointing. NeatMike isn't relevant to this thread, being a Rocket League youtuber, but he just put this video out bitching about all the reactionary fucks getting banned from Youtube and claiming solidarity with JonTron. What a gutpunch it is when a youtuber you like turns out to be a massive chud.
Holy fuck.
Hasan Piker talks about one of the channels that PewDiePie shouted out. The guy is a literal Nazi, full on Jewish Question.

Not that I know of. JonTron was one of the youtubers Mike focused on as being attacked for simply giving his opinion, man. Then Mike went on to show headlines of InfoWars being banned from all over the place, dogwhistled about Jews, and bitched about whiny snowflakes who get offended too easily. What an asshole. I used to like his Rocket League stuff. Ugh.

This forum is not very far left economically, so I can imagine that video not going over well at all.
that thread is cancer. this forum is the embodiment of neoliberal hellworld.
Holy fuck.

Ugh, nothing sucks worse than when someone you've been subscribed to for years starts sloowwwllly leaning into right-wing talking points and hot takes because it always gets clicks from the Youtube crowd. Mr. Enter, if anyone on here even knows who he is, did one of those 'PC CULTURE HAS GONE MAD' videos because Youtube totally needed another one of those to put on the pile. The arguments he makes are just not that great and he even used that garbage 'Battlefield having women in it is historical revisionism and PC culture forced it in!' argument. While there are several good comments that go over a lot of the stuff that's wrong with his video, they are of course all drowned out by the usual Youtube crowd utterly salivating over his take. It's honestly no surprise why Youtubers go in this direction with the kind of audience that's on Youtube.
I gotta admit, this one really stings. I've been watching his stuff from pretty early on and watched him slowly evolve from the whole angry critic shtick to something a bit more nuanced while also persisting despite several relentless harassment campaigns targeted at him. His stuff is very love it or hate it for most people, but I generally enjoyed it as something to put on in the background. He's allowed to have his opinion on things but I personally can't stay subscribed to him now. Knowing how things usually go, I'd rather just cut my losses ahead of time. Pretty much every time someone I was subscribed to started putting up videos like this, they slowly began trending farther and farther right to chase the anti-SJW crowd as time went on. I fully expect him to do the same because that seems to be what always happens.
I'm somewhat surprised Enter would go down that route. His deconstruction on Korra was pretty damn insightful and spot on.
On the other hand, there's a general high correlation between youtubers who use stupid avatar personas and reactionary views.
A new video from my communist angel. <3
I noticed this too. It's quite remarkable what passes for a left wing forum in the gaming sphere. Obviously still better than most other gaming boards.that thread is cancer. this forum is the embodiment of neoliberal hellworld.
Suscribed to this thread. Been bothered by Youtube because I keep getting recommendations about how shitty some games are and such and such and it's getting super tiring to tell Youtube that I don't want those in my feed. Hopefully if I watch leftist stuff it will learn...
Any channels that you guys recommend? I don't want full on politics, but I don't mind discussions about media or culture.
Breathed a huge sigh of relief this past weekend when I was visiting my family. I've always known that my parents are super conservative, but wasn't sure about my younger brother. While I was riding in his car with just him, my girlfriend, and I he asked
"So are there any new YouTube channels you are watching?"
to which I replied "Well...yeah, ContraPoints"
His response: "OH!!!"
I knew he hadn't been getting along with our parents. He's been trying to get a good job so he could move out for the last few years, so I suspected that his political views might not line up with them. He also hadn't been sure about me, so he was afraid to bring it up. Turns out he's very much on the left like me. Really felt good for us to have someone else in the family with whom we align on political and social issues.
Thanks Natalie for bringing families together.
At this point I wish he hadn't teased it in the Lovecraft video because I've been anticipating it for 6 months.I'm personally more excited for his NITW video. In general, I kinda want to see the old hbomb "bite" back
