I just dont hold a lot of credibility against people on the internet.
I believe people here are legit fighting the good fight. But lots are not really convincing. You want to make a stance? Go outside and demonstrate. Posting thousands of messages on a videogame forum isnt gonna change the world. Often its just baiting out and parroting each other.
It just gets really annoying.
But thats just my experience.
Ah, yes, the internet - that thing that has had no influence on the world in recent times, where how people behave has no consequences at all whatsoever. (My point: nothing about a discussion happening online should make you question its credibility or meaningfulness.)
Ah, yes, demonstrations - that thing that the public at large
always takes seriously. (My point: actually, people dismiss demonstrators as readily as they do anyone else, and credibility is a constantly moving target. Instead of arbitrarily deciding this or that avenue for discussion gives one more credibility, approach all discussions in good faith.)
Ah, yes, the internet and demonstrations - those things that are mutually exclusive with one another. (You can call shit out on the internet
and go outside and demonstrate. They are far from mutually exclusive.)
What? So me trying to research why a guy is making a bid deal about an unindentified 5 second clip is being insane?
Yes. Your "research" has contributed nothing to the discussion except distraction, the way you've characterized your "discoveries" has been hilariously misguided, and 99% of everything you've said about the dude can basically be boiled down to "he's making a big deal out of nothing and is therefore a SJW."
Are you really taking that dude opinion at face value without making any kind of research into who he is? He could be making shit up but it is insane to investigate?
The video is right there.
Right there. There's no need to take his (rather grounded) tweets at face value. Assuming we are living in the same reality, this is a discussion that is rooted in shared evidence.
By the way, the problem is less that you did a quick glance at the guy's bio, and more that you crafted a nonsensical narrative around it.
And it is not social criticism it is social destructive criticism. He is not out to make PDP change or look at his ways. He is out to expose him and others to keep his followers safe from any kind of exposure to "evil" things.
Nah, it's social criticism. PewDiePie has been given a lot of chances, he warrants scrutiny, and there's nothing about accurately calling out something he did that abandons social criticism and retreats into the realm of "social destructive criticism."
By the way, I love how you've created this bizarre dichotomy in which there's Social Criticism and Social Destructive Criticism, and the essential difference between them is that in one you call someone out publicly and in the other you go down on them or something and then calmly explain to them personally what they've done wrong.
Outrage of a 5/840 second of a YT video. This is all that this is. No discourse at all just reinforcement of the idea that PDP has to be evil without any valid proof for this one.
And this is me ONLY talking about this video not the shady shit he has done before.
"I know there's a larger context, but in the greatest irony, I'm going to pretend it doesn't exist in order to maximize my outrage at the reaction to this specific situation."
