Radical feminists do the same thing where they just want to keep saying how terrible things are for women, discounting all progress and even actively disbelieving any woman who says she's basically happy. Also, I think this topic especially highlights the need to not confuse validating feelings with agreeing with the perspective that lead to those feelings. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytwe6qHZkWc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytwe6qHZkWc&lc=UgyqPvvxZrIWrNBX14x4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250602 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Malevolentguppy AUTHOR_ID: UCBOYA69wEQ7ZNNO8v6P8IFA TEXT: Why are dudes listening to holes telling them how to be better/get better.

At least women's movements took time to celebrate successful women to give hope to others, especially in the 90s. Can't we also take a little bit of time to celebrate positive gains that men have made. Case in point: more men are now represented in disability and other support/care professions which have historically been a female-orientated occupation. I work in this field and I've seen the proportion of Australian men in this occupation increase. At times, there are personal care requirements that include feeding, showering, dressing and continence aids that require assistance. Male disability clients who might feel more comfortable having a male staff member assist with these tasks now have that choice accommodated. Male to male companionship between staff and clients is another byprodct of this shift in the care industry. This is a single example. In terms of looking for content to help me with my personal problems, I tend to watch content that doesn't target any one gender. At least there are solutions, inspiration, food for thought, challenges and an impetus for change on my part. These positive resources are scarce in spaces that narrow in on one gender, from a grievance-only based platform. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytwe6qHZkWc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytwe6qHZkWc&lc=UgxmEURca_5wxuMGEY54AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250602 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @desmonddarkest AUTHOR_ID: UCMgnWkqSNauskxQN1A-ioMg TEXT: the manosphere is for men nothing to do with women ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytwe6qHZkWc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytwe6qHZkWc&lc=UgxEGqlF4NUg3zSYfYZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250602 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @BlazeBuds AUTHOR_ID: UCsMDSBTFJfZv542UsY-UDdA TEXT: Why am I going to listen to a female talk about the manosphere?

I still get a warm feeling when I think of her. She was a bit of a hippie. We were in a writing class together and on one rainy and windy November, she came to class wearing a serape, and she took off her rain boots, and padded around the floor in her wool socks. I was in ❤ The course was finished a few weeks later and I asked her out. She rejected me of course, on the telephone. It was an upsetting day, I helped my father in the garage where he worked on one Saturday and then we had a beer or two, on the way home we learned that Andre The Giant had passed away. He was a favorite of my dad and I. Then when I got home I got the phone call. I said to her if you are rejecting me then you must have a mental problem! She laughed it off, and we had a good long talk. When I got off the phone it hit me and I started sobbing and ran to my room. My dad came into my room and told me that mom had made Pork Chops for dinner. After I ate I felt better. We met again the following Easter, and went for a walk, it was a pity walk actually. Then we never saw each other again. I was 28, and she was 38.

I had a conversation with another YouTuber, who basically said. "men want women to solve their problems". I don't think it's true for the average individual man, where the underlying emotional struggle is more nuanced. But the manosphere stuff I've seen really does come across as "here's the problem, it'd be nice if someone fixed it for us, but it's not gonna be me". Luckily, I've managed to avoid the manosphere, for the most part. So maybe this isn't the most informed opinion. Either way I'd advise people to avoid a conversation where no-one is offering constructive and actionable advice. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytwe6qHZkWc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytwe6qHZkWc&lc=Ugx5JQdMQ1w73cUuuIF4AaABAg.AIs91cQv79WAIsCKzckP4I UPLOAD DATE: 20250602 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @roydm143 AUTHOR_ID: UC8mada62DKuwlqrtAQtpeog TEXT: "here's the problem, it'd be nice if someone fixed it for us, but it's not gonna be me" This is supposed to be the issue. The problem is already solved in adult men (in a unhealthy way most likely but already fixed). So what the manosphere (that describes) is doing is starting the dialogue about it. See what happened to incels (Im unaware of Lianas perspective on this), they had their forum to bitch among eachother and now "incel" is the new insult to humillate men (as "faggot" was at a given time).

The issue (at a bigger level) is that a bunch of unhealthy men (or people) gathering together are just a horde of vulnerable people.

It makes me wonder if the manosphere and feminism have both undergone a similar shift: Where the mainstream popular form of the movement has only gotten more reactionary and unproductive as algorithms push the more divisive material to people. And the most unhelpful people rise to prominence. As I said, It's possible my opinion is based on an inaccurate impression, since I'm not deep into the manosphere, or what it used to be. But that also means I'm getting only the most algorithm-pleasing stuff sent my way. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytwe6qHZkWc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytwe6qHZkWc&lc=Ugx5JQdMQ1w73cUuuIF4AaABAg.AIs91cQv79WAIt9G-b24CD UPLOAD DATE: 20250602 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @dercooney AUTHOR_ID: UCXwNe9Keuvq5glvLcA8cmeg TEXT:  @Blunderful_Disasterpiece  probably. the older one wasn't a grift because there was literally no mechanism to pay anyone and nobody was trying. this was 10 years ago, so you'd spend money on mark manson, some new clothes, and a gym membership. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytwe6qHZkWc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytwe6qHZkWc&lc=Ugx5JQdMQ1w73cUuuIF4AaABAg.AIs91cQv79WAIt3dj1SnGc UPLOAD DATE: 20250602 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @roydm143 AUTHOR_ID: UC8mada62DKuwlqrtAQtpeog TEXT: I cant see my comment... weird, was it deleted of is this some youtube witchery? ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytwe6qHZkWc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytwe6qHZkWc&lc=Ugx5JQdMQ1w73cUuuIF4AaABAg.AIs91cQv79WAIvFA66Mj63 UPLOAD DATE: 20250602 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: YouTube is getting choked by all the spamming of comments being done to this video.

The kingdom of heaven was never about worldly wealth anyways, whether you succeed in it or not can be irrelevant.

We shouldn't be turning suffering or struggles into a competition of "who has it worse". Now this isn't to suggest something as overly simplistic as "everybody has it equally rough", that's also really reductive. Because truth of the matter is, someone could have the "perfect" life, and still struggle with very deep problems.

If we can actually talk back and forth even briefly you can correct me and we can find where we agree. Or I can just leave one big comment. I'm just not going to be able to do that until the weekend. I'm going to have to re-watch the videos and take notes because the timing on the miscommunication matters. That's what I was planning to do but like I said I'm trying not to drag this out.

I only really heard vague things about a journalist that at the time I'd never heard of buying publicity with sexual favours, followed by years of sanctimonious journalists punching down at their audience. I was technically one of "The Chuds" Not because I was a bigot or a transphobe or whatever we were being called on any particular day but because I eventually got tired of being lectured and having my opinions disregarded. I roll my eyes every time I see people getting up in arms when they see a female character or a non-white character in a game and scream "woke", but I can understand why parts of the community have got so angry because they see the warning signs of a game trying to appeal to this "modern audience" , developers and the media lashing out at "The Chuds" and calling them a vocal minority, the game not selling well and the developers blaming that "vocal minority" from somehow preventing everyone else buying the game. You absolutely have to use more carrot and less stick when engaging with the gaming community, especially when you rely on them to pay your bills. You don't always have to agree with "The Chuds" all the time, but to at least come down to their level and discuss things with them rather than dismiss and berate them. I think there would be a lot less Schadenfreude for gaming journalists now if they had not been so antagonistic and called the gaming community "bigots" "incels" and "losers" every time they objected to something in a game. Sometimes guys like a cute woman in a game, sometimes women like a cute woman in a game, it would be nice if we were not called "Problematic" for having this opinion. It's sad that "Gamergate" will always be tarnished by this culture war mentality rather than the concerns that it originally arose from. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjUvC9miv-8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjUvC9miv-8&lc=UgxkcXqnsn3c0k_cj-d4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260116 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: Good video! 😗 ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjUvC9miv-8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjUvC9miv-8&lc=UgxZnNRT5p1hgz6A0aV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260116 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @SenorZorros AUTHOR_ID: UC53ezeQUMdon7MHn2cuRNQA TEXT: Even now, it was kind of ironic for token gay conservatie #6542 to accuse anyone else of lacking credibility because they ostensibly sold out their identity. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjUvC9miv-8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjUvC9miv-8&lc=UgxKpewQJ37Z7K4jmbV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260116 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @CanMav AUTHOR_ID: UCk_2tzqDiLZqggiPr3l-CLQ TEXT: Meta is not only going all in on wearables but they are also forcing their AI into every single app, and you're not allowed to disable it. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjUvC9miv-8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjUvC9miv-8&lc=UgzkfimcECGuVp5a40t4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260116 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Tnu1138 AUTHOR_ID: UCvcDm_QxP2DHVVJzEpS4t0w TEXT: You changed your hair? ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjUvC9miv-8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjUvC9miv-8&lc=UgwNvCy4lnpvx6YBrJ94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260116 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TheArceusftw AUTHOR_ID: UCynpVSnrzeDrdMqNSOHzCNQ TEXT: The more I stew on it, and more the hindsight begins to settle in regarding Gamergate, the more I believe that there was no side worth rooting for.

It also has the negative side affect of undermining a legitimate concern of being falsely accused, because it just gives more validation to the people who believe that "Men complaining about false allegations are just looking for an easy backdoor to bolster their mysogynistic ways". It's one of those problems that goes underdiscussed in men's issues. That there are bad actors who use the fear of false allegations as a springboard for genuine mysoginistic beliefs and rhetoric. We genuinely do need to curb that if we want to make meaningful progress about this issue.(That was one of the key takeawats I gained looking at the absolute mess that was the Vic Mignogna alegations in hindsight.) Likewise your advice about trusting my gut and ending the relationship if you suspect something is wrong is pretty sound advice. Because ontop of me not feeling emotionally mature enough for a relationship, I do have that sort of underlying fear of being roped into a toxic loveless relationship where if I do decide to muster up the courage to leave I do run the risk of my partner trying twist a narrative into painting me as a horrible abusive monster. Doubly so given that I'm autistic, and I'm concerned that people might see me as an easy target to manipulate, and if thing's again if I do leave that just gives my accuser more ammunition to paint me as "another entitled creep hiding behind his autism as an excuse for his behavior". Honestly, I would rather take being at the reciving end of a bunch of "Dateless autistic virgin incel" jokes, rather than sacrficing my dignity and worth as a human and risk ending up in a toxic relationship just to chase external validation. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxAgmz6S-go COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxAgmz6S-go&lc=Ugxbahl9YlygEWBwnlh4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250707 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @SenorZorros AUTHOR_ID: UC53ezeQUMdon7MHn2cuRNQA TEXT: This is not meant to be insulting to you but the ass-covering in this video is kind of bizarre to me.

Many people argue that it doesn't matter if the person has bad motives if the people in need get the benefits. And I call bullshit on that.

If someone admits to me in the moment that they are afraid, I can ask them what it is that's frightening them, offer reasurance or help them get out of the sitation if it's appropriate. If someone is constantly "afraid" that gets wearing and can certainly be manipulative in excess. But even that is preferable to "I was afraid" as an excuse after someone has behaved badly. Because whether or not it's true, "I was afraid" involves a lie. Either they were afraid and didn't tell you at the time (lie by omission) or they're lying about being afraid after the fact. But no matter which it is, they treated you as someone they needed to lie to. There are few things I find more personally hurtful and insulting than that.

The whole using being afraid as an excuse, and a sheild from scrutiny is one of those toxic things that's been normalized by society, and it's something that really bothers me. And the funny thing is, these are the same people who are quick to call out people who use autism as an excuse for insufferable behavior(which is a problem don't get me wrong), but then turn around and hide behind anxiety or being afraid as an easy escape hatch when they're confronted on their problematic actions. (Again, this is one of those hypocricies about the world that I think go way too unoticed.) It's basically just self-infantlization, and another case of taking the easy way out and relying on the victim mentality instead of actually putting in the effort to face your problems head on. Where you can say "I have a bad life," or "I'm suffering from anxiety" to basically get away with anything, and not face any meaningful consiquences, with the added bonus of surrounding yourself with white knights who coddle you and enable that behavior and are willing to trounce any disenters at a moment's notice.(BAsically, another facet of Small bean syndrome). And the real damaging part is that it basically boomerangs around and gives validation to the people who dismiss people who are struggling with trauma or anxiety as just "Whiny babies who just need to get over themselves and pull themselves up by the bootstraps" and use it as proof that "society's gotten too soft". Basically undermining any legitimate conversation around mental health struggles.(And that's not even getting into the TikTok kids who self-diagnose themselves with anxiety, but that's a different conversation.) And as I expoused numerous times, I've been through alot of hardship in my own life, but I'm not going to just sit back and let being a victim be a way of life for me, because again; I've seen people who let the victim mentality shape them as people, and they end up being some of the most toxic people I've ever seen. Because the hard truth of the world is that sometimes, in order to resolve your problems, it requires you do trod through the mud, and face them head on. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hUbwjn6YRg COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hUbwjn6YRg&lc=Ugzkf4nuqk2WLk0oXaZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241030 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ciscodeer9094 AUTHOR_ID: UCh5xjLeogbllhMLOUPYLPOg TEXT: Like not wanting to be around people ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hUbwjn6YRg COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hUbwjn6YRg&lc=UgxcwHBEtGlUkaAgJsx4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241030 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Tnu1138 AUTHOR_ID: UCvcDm_QxP2DHVVJzEpS4t0w TEXT: Was it deliberate to post a fear related video so close to Halloween? ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hUbwjn6YRg COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hUbwjn6YRg&lc=UgwxCrpNSqo9YBTiDtl4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241030 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @winterburden AUTHOR_ID: UCiYcyVChRv8qJ8lsNRfDFnA TEXT: Happy Wednesday! ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Kmx-LGSO90 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Kmx-LGSO90&lc=UgwoMdfI-XL4kRLOrPN4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250430 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @death31313 AUTHOR_ID: UCt7ESyPPXsSEpBbx4L6LsnQ TEXT: 21:47 the shots are 100% better than the gell and cheaper too.

Because I struggled with a lot of self hatred in my teen years.(alot of it stems from a fear of being compaired unfavorably to certian individuals) Realising, that not everybody is going to like me and I'm not going to like everyone, and that's okay, is life lesson everyone needs to learn. Again, trying too hard to chase the approval of people who don't like you is a self-sabbotaging effort. Likewise making a distinction between people who basically live thier lives predominantly on social media and certain message boards are different than people who actually have lives outside the internet and realizing that the average person isn't secretly plotting your downfall is an important survival skill for socializaiton. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Kmx-LGSO90 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Kmx-LGSO90&lc=Ugwa40NudFrcSIozuJB4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250430 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @michaellewis1545 AUTHOR_ID: UCz_-lre8IsZv1nPr-xgfeAQ TEXT: My version of Accepting the mess is embrace the suck. I look at a situation and go yep this is not good may even be bad. So I decided to mentaly turn into the problem like one would turn into a strom and tackle the problem one thing at a time. For example if the work load at work is higher than normal and or we are short staff. I will treat each set of samples as there own thing, So I can feel like I have accomplished something even if it is just step one out of a thousands.

She also got an additional $260 out of me in Ko-Fi support. The rest of us however contributed to Callatis - proof reading, editing, promotion - for free, happy to help out a friend.

That is what manipulative people do, after all. They choose their marks carefully. In any case, here’s looking to the future!

I don't know anything about it and I know I'm assuming too much of something that is not of my business here. But Song shifted the blame to her boyfriend for not liking your recordings, then got mad because you brought this up to her boyfriend and now is putting more responsibility on you than her boyfriend for moving in with him? I'm a Venezuelan who emigrated to Panama. Immigration is no joke. It's not as simple as renting an apartment and start living there. If you don't prepare for it you are going to struggle a lot. You need money, you need legal documentation, and you need a plan to sustain yourself. If you don't and you just wing it, you are going to struggle a lot, both financially and in your overall life because guess what? Governments don't tend to give two shits about immigrants, we are treated as an annoyance, as a problem to solve, and they only give you some amount of rights, respect, and dignity and let you live your life if you comply with every single one of their rules no matter how complicated and unreasonable they are and even then you are still treated like a suspect or someone on parole. The only way to migrate to another country without being treated like a criminal at the airport is if you are filthy rich because then all doors are opened since rules and regulations don't apply to the rich.

Honestly with the point about boys being treated adults as well as black kids in general, it seems more like saying white girls are the only ones treated as kids(sometimes also going too far and patronising adults). (For the record I don't think trans boys are treated the same it's just a hypocritical misgendering but placing the negatives of male gender roles on them similar to the reverse with trans girls, I kind of think we're treated similarly regardless of agab.) And my argument with the word incel is that it's weakening the words domestic abuser as well as misogynist, or maybe right wing terrorist because it's not like it's an insult because they're NOT calling someone the same as Andrew Tate. They're not actually talking about incels so whatever harms actual "incels" do doesn't matter, it's just a buzzword for most people online. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-z3Xg19-WY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-z3Xg19-WY&lc=UgzOahSVWE6CDvVOjT54AaABAg.AGmSWeBP5PAAGmUaYd_foJ UPLOAD DATE: 20250404 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @siginotmylastname3969 AUTHOR_ID: UCXsEMZREvjRWb_XG4i-tZtg TEXT: Got kinda mixed feelings on later discussions but not because I agree with movements and groups which also suck to you, so never mind lol.

There is an unfortunate habit among some people on the left of using their own bespoke vocabulary and expecting everyone to understand what they mean. Insults are like slogans. They shouldn't need to be explained. Regarding Adolescence, my basic problem is the silliness of it. A small, sensitive 13 year old boy with loving parents does not one day knife a girl because of something he read on the internet. If you look at the real life cases of knife attacks against girls, the attacker invariably is a disturbed individual with a history of violence. It's never like Adolescence. Daredevil despite being a comic book show with little concern for realism, is more realistic about the kind of men who commit violent crimes. I don't think Adolescence is driven by malice. It's partly the delusion that male violence against women is special and unique rather than simply a subset of male violence. And partly just moral panic about social media. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-z3Xg19-WY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-z3Xg19-WY&lc=Ugx5rRFRyITopu6yAk14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250404 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @scalliano AUTHOR_ID: UCuaHodCqXDCQXYK62S7cuyg TEXT: Legislation is already being drafted in the UK as a response to this... work of fiction. Legislation which will undoubtedly lead to the deliberate reinforcement of the social prison that many young boys find themselves in. You're on point when you say that men and boys are not listened to in this day and age. Male role models have been systematically deleted from media, meanwhile we have misandrist empathy-vacuums like Ava Santina getting spots on mainstream TV telling us that our problems don't really matter. And then these same people are shocked when young boys turn to human garbage like Andrew Tate to fill the void of masculinity. I can see the appeal for young fellas - fast cars, hot babes, the baller lifestyle, I get it. I'd have been drawn to that as a kid too. I can also see how it can negatively colour a young mind's perception of the opposite sex. But Tate is not the problem, he is the result of the problem. And as much as I personally dislike the guy, this is far bigger than him and his ilk. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-z3Xg19-WY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-z3Xg19-WY&lc=UgyDoCoWHxrB2wmjcxt4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250404 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: Your hair is cool looking.

I always find what you have to say really useful and interesting and you help me to understand and see a lot of things from different perspectives. So yeah, I would be interested to hear your opinion on Adolescence if you do decide you want to watch it. I did watch it when it came out and I think the show actually agrees with a lot of the points you are making in this video but obviously it is intended for a very different and much less informed demographic that only understands the manosphere stuff in the vaguest, shallowest way.  A couple of important things to note (from my perspective) are: - That what the main character is charged for doing is not a plot line that comes out of nowhere. There were a handful of specific cases in the UK where this happened involving children of around these ages (13-15) and these cases are specifically why the writer started writing the show as an attempt to explore how and why these happened. - I'm sure there will be a lot of people who disagree, but on my viewing the feeling I got was that it was a show that was *not* eager to leap to answers or solutions or scapegoats to blame. In comparison to anything I've seen *in mainstream media* in a long time it felt to me like the writers were broadly speaking trying to explore and understand what is going on. I think it is important to note here that obviously the responses to the show vary greatly in how nuanced and self-reflective they are prepared to be (if at all) in this respect. - I don't think the show was trying to bluntly moralise in the exact same way that we've seen with the 'video game bad' kind of criticisms in the past. There is definitely a degree of this kind of thing where they have lines like 'we thought he was safe because he was just inside his room' but my point is its not like being hit over the head with a sledgehammer every 5 minutes. (I'm sure people will disagree with me on this but this is just how I felt after watching). - The main intended audience isn't teenagers or young men but parents and 'the middle class'™. While this is a demographic that lends itself to pearl clutching (and some responses to the show definitely show this), I think whether the audience takes that kind of message away from it is more to do with what they brought to the table before watching it than the show itself. If you allow yourself to be charitable towards it, I think the message you can take away from the show was something more like:  "Something is going on where 'we' [i.e. parents and society] are failing and abandoning young boys and girls by not taking seriously 'our' lack of understanding of both modern social media and the societal pressures 'we' are putting them under. More needs to be done to counter increasing misogyny being reported amongst young boys but that requires paying attention to them and crucially actually talking and listening to them rather than just assuming we already know best" The show definitely has flaws and the response to it shows that it has clearly hit a certain nerve or two. From how you discuss it in this video I am expecting people will disagree with the take I've put above, but that is also kinda why I commented because I think this is one of the more nuanced conversations that has been happening in the mainstream media (that I've seen) in recent times and so I think it is useful in and of itself to understand and discuss its strengths and shortcomings. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-z3Xg19-WY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-z3Xg19-WY&lc=UgxWZbg6VhCjfhbgNfF4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250404 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @PartigradeCannon AUTHOR_ID: UCSPh4Cx2n4b4IpUh8McijZQ TEXT: If someone calls themselves an incel, then okay you can use the term on them, but yeah, I'm of the opinion that these days it's just a politically correct way of virgin shaming. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-z3Xg19-WY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-z3Xg19-WY&lc=UgxWZbg6VhCjfhbgNfF4AaABAg.AGVhdRMljBUAGap7ysQVth UPLOAD DATE: 20250404 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @death31313 AUTHOR_ID: UCt7ESyPPXsSEpBbx4L6LsnQ TEXT: I'm not even convinced it's that since I've seen it thrown at married men with kids.

I wholeheartedly agree that "Incel" being thrown around as an insult, is basically just weaponized virgin shaming with dressed up in a guise of moral superiority. And again, it's pretty much all a bunch of heteronormative nonesense tied to basing a man's worth on their sexual activity.(Which is ironic because the people who push this stuff are the same people who preach about rejecting forced heteronormative social expectaions) Which has the added unintentional side effect of being damaging towards Asexual men. Now don't get it twisted, no one is saying "Don't condemn mysogynistic behavior", all we're saying is that just call it what it is, blatant misogyny. Drop the fancy buzzwords, and the splash damage and we can all have a reasonable conversation about these issues. Likewise, I totally agree that "Owning your actions" also means accepting that some people will just hate your guts for merely existing.(Like I said a long time ago, there'll always be a Frank Grimes to your Homer Simpson) And I feel you really strongly when you brought up having to deal with constantly being bombarded with all "You're a bad ally" talk. It's stuff like that is why I'm not a fan of the constant purity tests in activist circles. It's a real shame that alot of what should just be basic human decency has to be treated on the same level as trying to prove that you're worthy of Mjolnir or the Flying NImbus. It's stuff like that I don't call myself an "Ally" because really, at the end of the day, it's just basic decency and you shouldn't have to put on a big song and dance to prove that you believe that everyone is entitled to the same rights regardless of race, gender, sexuality, etc. Ultimately, this is why I don't even bother trying to win the approval or validation of a bunch of terminally online armchair activists who make mindlessly echoing a bunch of Breadtube talking points their personality. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-z3Xg19-WY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-z3Xg19-WY&lc=UgwAYnHCUoa7Ms3hggN4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250404 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @neilvarma AUTHOR_ID: UC_9bX8q25qDIzzL9LSL07JQ TEXT: To me adolescence is hilarious It joins the ranks of reefer madness, gta, gangsta rap, comic books, D&D, and Crack babies as the moral panic of the time.

But it is NOT a "you must watch this to educate yourself on the state of your children" show and shouldn't be treated as such. It drives me nuts that even the creators seem to be pushing for that. At its core, the message of this show is that parents should be paying attention to their children - period. Not just what they do online - but in actually getting to know them. Its not the "they're online" part that's the issue. Its the disconnect between parents and their child that's the issue - which is WHY the kids are retreating online. If parents need to watch a show to "scare" them into wanting to know their own kids, there is a serious problem - and its not the kids. Wanting to know your son shouldn't be because "I'm afraid my son will be radicalized by bigots online and stab their classmates." It should be because your sons and daughters are worth getting to know and understand. - That was the main lesson that Bascombe learned at the end of his arch when he pulls himself from the case in favor of reconnecting with his own son. And the fact that the end of his arch was juxtaposed with the sad scene of Jade walking home alone after we learn her parents seemingly have NO clue what is going on with their daughter right now was no accident. That whole theme is woven throughout the entire show. Parents don't know their children at all. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-z3Xg19-WY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-z3Xg19-WY&lc=Ugw8-RzRM3itBzxa3Mh4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250404 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @bradleydias425 AUTHOR_ID: UCIxI-uAzNaZ7dSODLedctsA TEXT: Oh hey long time since I’ve watched your videos!

There are also other issues… stabbings in the UK are not typically done by kids… it’s immigrants and I can say that because I’m Pakistani. You’re right with your take too… the show had some warped messaging. The show did not 100% blame men. It was basically a message about parents… your opinion might change after you see it.

But here's the kicker, gals- you're still managing men's emotions, even if you aren't placating them. Whether you are smothering someone in false unconditional positive regard or screaming at them through a megaphone at uncomfortably close range , you are making sure they have no space to breath, have their own feelings and potentially express something you don't like. Both of these things are about control. We put the cart before the horse on dealing with this issue. We agree that women shouldn't have to manage men's emotions but we haven't addressed the underlying issue that girls and women are raised to find men's emotions terrifying and potentially dangerous.

Likewise that's one of my problem with the modern day progressive movement. The constant "privlige checks" in particular. This is why I don't bother with winning their approval.(Despite being Black, Autistic, and Asexual.) Likewise, I don't like the idea of needing allies to constantly bend the knee to test their purity.(Seriously, basic human descency should be enough.) The right is also guilty of this with them talking about how the younger generations don't understnd true hardship. Ultimately, what I'm trying to get at is; we shouldn't be trying to turn struggling into a competition won't solve anything, and that just because others may have it worse, doesn't mean other people should just suffer in silence because they don't meet some arbitrary criteria. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6IyW8AdcIs COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6IyW8AdcIs&lc=UgyUC8dGTgfaIP_atiJ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250205 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @jamesmorris525 AUTHOR_ID: UCNbFEFztoQmqVGfUgYU8arg TEXT: One of the great tragedies of modern politics is just how easy it would have been in 2014 to have actual dialogues instead of blame and shame. There is a surprisingly large swath of "anti-SJWs" who are really quite moderate and agree with many progressive things. They are, however, repelled by the public face of progressivism. Time and again in those early years, when dialogue and empathy were necessary, cancel culture and dismissiveness reigned instead. Now the pendulum has swung fully against the progressives. And the tragedy is, it was progressive principles that would have prevented it. But politics won out instead, and as the saying goes "when we fight on their level, we lose"... ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6IyW8AdcIs COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6IyW8AdcIs&lc=UgyUC8dGTgfaIP_atiJ4AaABAg.AEA2UznCVxNAEAKHtvSLRH UPLOAD DATE: 20250205 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @No_Name_Monke AUTHOR_ID: UCXP8EZZ_NrbwrJ_F4UsrERg TEXT: I think that even if you had gotten one set of Progressives having dialogue, the bigger voices in their community would have just ignored it or tried to drive traffic away from such events.

However, before returning fully to class, the teacher pulled me aside and praised me for following her deescalation instructions. After that, I not only felt better, but was also more motivated to maintain my cool for the rest of the school day. Hand the teacher told me something more like "Now I better NOT see you misbehaving again!", or even just said nothing after calling me back to class, I don't know if I would have kept from misbehaving again that day.

I'd say the analogy works with other properties though. Like, my favourite Ninja Turtle is Donatello, on an old show called Centurions my favourite as a character was Max Ray (although Ace McCloud had some of the cooler weapons systems), Panthro was one of my favourite Thundercats (although I'm sure EVERYONE wanted the Sword of Omens 😂)... characters that had as much brains as they had brawn. I think I was kinda drawn to them because while the adults praised me for being smart they just kinda left me to my own devices, while making friends with kids my own age was a bit more difficult especially if they felt like me as the 'teacher's pet' didn't get as much correction as they did, so it kinda felt like I needed to balance both sides to maintain acceptance. And that point about men not deliberately condescending but just being helpful in the way they were 'helped'? SPOT ON. That happens SO much more than people want to admit, but the demand is always that men need to alter their approach. It doesn't help that a lot of 'girl world' conditioning leads women to an approach that at best is non-direct to avoid conflict and at worst is very passive aggressive. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=319_qQJ_NMw COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=319_qQJ_NMw&lc=UgwsYAmndogH1JRWQF54AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250224 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ckmondaviable AUTHOR_ID: UC4mUD79izLD0qDFqTZ-EBkw TEXT: Surprised you didn’t use Spider-Man‘s example.

Speaking of how you handle trauma reminds me of the characters from Devil May Cry. Dante is depressed. The Whacky Woohoo Pizza Man. Is deeply depressed and cannot seek out professional help. Vergil has a desire for power as well as a superiority complex masking feelings of vulnerability and feelings of inferiority. The only person who has their crap together is Nero.

Alot of it steming from being born autistic, and being sheltered, And all the "fun" stuff that comes with it. (You know typical, "Gifted kid". struggles) For me at least, it's less about wanting to foster a healthy innner child, and more about needing to work in tandem with all the aspects of my psyche in order to properly maintain an emotional state of being. That means, trying to ease all the constant fears of "society is constantly juding me" "people are secretly plotting my downfall" "trust no-one but myself" thinking, not being afraid to express my vunerabilities to people I know I can trust, and just try my best to live each day, and take joy in my smaller accomplishments while working towards something greater. And that's more sound advice than most self-help "gurus" give. Because 9 times out of 10, most online self-help "Advice" it either just flowerly Hallmark greeting-card level fluff, or just empty "Alpha/sigma" posturing. And I also totally agree that the classic "Boy scout" heroes tend to be very underappreciated and get unfairly stigmatized as boring "Goody two-shoes". It's not about being this completely infallable paragon of virtue, it's more about doing your best to help yourself and thoses around you, and working to overcome whatever emotional or psychological hurdles come your way. That's the problem I have with the sort of Frank Miller coded anti-heroes(As well as other "literally me" type of characters); it's that alot of their personal baggage seems used more as an excuse to justify some of their more unscrupulous actions. That's when you peel away some of the surface level "coolness", you;re able to realize these are emotionally immature, broken people who's baggage are a ball and chain holding them back from doing any actual self reflection.(It's another trapping of romanticized suffering.) ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=319_qQJ_NMw COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=319_qQJ_NMw&lc=Ugza27XiG777VndP96Z4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250224 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @lorzon AUTHOR_ID: UCPLu8vnu3uNxpjOvjq9HeAg TEXT: Society treats and raises boys different because as men, they will be required to see and, more importantly, do things that would destroy them if they were raised like girls.

So English and Literature tended not to be a problem. For most of middle school and high school, I want to a private school, a very small one. And one of the benefits of that was that I had the same math teacher for years. So I knew that he knew me and what I was capable of in his class. In my junior year, he pulled aside me and another girl who would become our class valedictorian. And he told us that since we would already be attending the local private school academic competition for different subjects, he was gonna sign us up for math as well. Both of us protested that we really weren’t the best at math. And he said “I know. But you’re the best we have.” And that stuck with me. Did I do well enough to place in that competition? No. But a teacher who knew me for years knew that I had that potential.

Btw none of this is about Taash, it's fantasy rep generally. Here's why I feel frustrated by limited ideas about representation in fantasy: in order for a disabled non binary person to have representation, fantasy lets you create an entire group which COMBINES those experiences, instead of mapping one to one. You can go further with it too like make an entire culture for an experience which is more this really specific group of jamaican autistic trans men or something. And have this one group of people who by some in universe lore and history got to be really relatable to them. Instead of having fantasy jamaicans, fantasy trans men, fantasy autistics, and one character who's all three fighting the rest because of their intersections. (To be clear I'm talking about people with the right experience writing, not me, the idea I'm talking about is what I think other writers can do for other minorities but influenced by me not really finding representation myself.) This isn't to say doing that isn't also good! But fantasy offers SO MUCH MORE and so I find the ways identities are mapped directly onto a well defined minority in games and books disappointing in that there are more ways to do it than that. For the record I like characters considered queerbait, queerbait but trans, and queerbait but plural too because they're often very relatable no matter how much others with our identities argue that they're harmful. In fantasy, the bait part means nothing because the other characters could treat them differently with their own complete logic to their actions, so that it's obviously going to be relatable but also lets us break down boundaries between populations and concepts in the real world which get really boring. And all while writing something which might bait in people who'd hate us out of bigotry, because we never SAID a character is trans, just showed throughout the writing what the concept of trans and cisness is and broke down how it works. Though I guess you eventually have to sacrifice that to get away from a fanbase being diametrically opposed to your intention or noone who'd find it relatable ever finding it. But I mostly just write for myself and will never write more for an abstract community of people with a similar identity who I've never met, the main reason to take whole minorities into account is to not be offensive and hurt people, not because our goal is writing for other people. Brevity is the soul of wit, of which I have absolutely none. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s&lc=UgyD3wIKK29u3C2BLcV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250114 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @4ltimit1 AUTHOR_ID: UCmBLS3GNplPHxE9U_rxqH6w TEXT: Not well implemented? ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s&lc=UgzRTCkGEk5feqGQSgp4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250114 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @HeartoftheWinter AUTHOR_ID: UCXjo4RbDCqWS7YQCzHjvKvA TEXT: So here is the problem; Modern writing obsess about making characters that the reader/watcher/player can see themselves in, rather than just making a good character.

It doesn't mean that if you're a woman who is a tomboy you now need to denounce your womanhood. You can be a masculine woman. Let's make gender a pointer to a biological reality and just let people express themselves however they want. Can a stallion get pregnant? Can a lioness produce sperm? Can a bull lactate?

Taash’s relationship with her mother, who is overbearing but also saved Taash from the Qun, is interesting, as is the whole mixed culture aspect of their backstory. In particular, Taash’s Rivaini background leads to some truly adorable interactions with Spite, in which Taash talks to the demon exactly as one would a petulant child—and Spite answers in kind. This reinforces the impression that the Veilguard is a found family, and Spite, Assan, and Manfred are the kids of the group. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s&lc=Ugy8zFki5q6MsuZy7Gp4AaABAg.ADLteIpPC2MADPMWeSGaOA UPLOAD DATE: 20250114 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TheRealCaptainLavender AUTHOR_ID: UC_7Kp3kM_QHvOPsNyQEJhQg TEXT: 🤡🤡🤡 ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s&lc=UgxstIHsJn341i4aNG94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250114 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @GarethOfByzantium AUTHOR_ID: UC-4q_I29Dc9eQRN1CqtAVTg TEXT: One trouble with Taash and the “coming out as NB” storyline is how, once again, BioWare accidentally stumbled into an anti-LGBT stereotype. Taash doesn’t identify as NB or even seem to know what that is until Neve connects them to people in Minrathous who introduce Taash and us to a lot of very modern-sounding jargon on the subject, and Taash only starts using they/them after learning said jargon. This is pretty much exactly the scenario the people who scream “groomer” are afraid of. If Taash had never come in contact with the people from Minrathous, they would never have known what “non binary” WAS and consequently never have identified as such. In previous games, they handle LGBT themes without giving the jargon; we had Dorian and Krem without even using the words “gay” or “trans”, and I think that’s why Veilguard was uniquely triggering to people. I say this as someone who actually enjoyed Veilguard overall and does not hate Taash as a character; their characterization is perfectly decent overall. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s&lc=UgxstIHsJn341i4aNG94AaABAg.ADJn5uKwugpAI64wDxrtjy UPLOAD DATE: 20250114 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @So2smelly AUTHOR_ID: UCna4BZzgRrIz3_1eTdnbJnQ TEXT: The game and studio failed because of you.

It isn’t like they were fine with being a woman, suddenly heard about non-binaries, and then happened to struggle with gender identity.

This time I find myself with some thoughts.I am one of those people that saw the game marketing and was instantly turned off. Then I sat with that impression for a bit and took a punt on the game ( it can't possibly be as bad as I think its going to be right?) I got burned with mea surly they learned from that mess right? well after sitting though 90 hours of the most purial preachy HR inspired dialogue with repetitive combat to the point i got the hidden ending, the answer for me was no they learned nothing. Now with the preamble over on to my comments: First if you need to bury important context in codex entry's there's a problem using that to do narrative heavy lifting or add desperately needed contest to the character or intent is just sloppy design. Bioware have been doing this since mass effect one It was bad then its now an over used crutch. Taash on their face is an entitled preachy unlikable brat. They never explane that taash is a teen I took taash to be in her early 20's The fact someone that volatile and has no idea of who they are is the expert dragon hunter is laughable. I do appreciate the analysis, I would simply say that if people need to sit and explane things that the narrative failed to communicate in a clear non clunky way then the narrative failed. The video it's self was more engaging than the 90 hours I slogged though. Taash was handled so poorly its not up to the paying costumer to play guess the designers intent. People react to things as presented.the whole cast felt like first year in high school and rook was the home room teacher meant to solve everything. That sentiment bleeds in to everything taashes arc is just more blatant than most. The fact taash lectures several party member while demanding understanding for their own problems was quite annoying. the point about language terms mirrors my own thoughts and just adds to the perception of things being poorly done. I don't care if a character is non binary or who they sleep with. Those traits by themselves are not interesting to me in the least.

I do intend to play Veilguard, in spite of some of my reservations (mainly on the changes in tone and some writing choices I'm worried about), so don't want to be spoiled. I do want to support you and your right to your opinion on the character, whether or not I end up agreeing with it when I eventually play the game and form my own opinions. Sorry if my question is discussed in a part of the video I didn't see. How do you feel about the changes Bioware has made to the Qunari post Dragon Age 2? I don't want to go into too much detail and make the comment overly long, but the shift in how the Qunari have been written between Sten and the Arishok (one of the best parts of Dragon Age 2, in my opinion) to Iron Bull and Taash has always struck me as really jarring and unearned (not to mention the redesigns and lore rewrites). A lot of potential development and storylines seem like they were swept aside with the change in direction, which makes it difficult for me personally to appreciate characters like Taash (from what I've seen of them) and Iron Bull (my least favourite Qunari from the games I've played), as I really liked what I thought the Qunari subplot was building to before Inquisition happened. I would appreciate your thoughts on the topic, but understand if it strays too far from what you discuss in this video. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s&lc=Ugw0D6iRhtuF1-D1h554AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250114 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @UndeadRLK AUTHOR_ID: UCr-vpEiDTHW4k73WrLDlnvQ TEXT: Great talk about Taash and their story, Liana. Again, I really don't get why it was so important to Bioware to keep the "Qunari race" from having an offical name from the Qunari. Just seems like a cultural quirk that doesn't fit with the rest of their "vibe".  Sidenote: I don't personally hate the dialog wheel, but just having lists of things to pick to say written out in full will of course always be better as a system for talking in a game, in my opinion. I've seen a bit of people also being real weird about gender stuff being in Obsidian's "Avowed", and similarly with Dragon Age, there is lore that makes people with genders different to what they were assigned, fit into the world as just a thing that reasonably would come up as a topic. Specifically, in Avowed's world, the "Pillars of Eternity" world, reincarnation exists and is a well-known factor of the universe. Now, your everyday person doesn't know every particular part of how/why it works, but it is known that when people die, their souls end up eventually back into new-born bodies. There aren't gender or ethnic limits on what kind of person you get born as next, (besides in general your next life being of a PERSON, animals have their own souls, and those kinds don't mix well with people bodies). Most people don't remember their past lives, but the playable character of Pillars of Eternity 1& 2 is such a person that does. Generally, this is a condition that leads to madness for the "awakened", but the PC in PoE 1&2 is able to deal with it in the first game. Anyway, my point being, people being born one type of way, but feeling another isn't something couldn't fit-into Avowed's game world, based on how fundamental parts of it are known to work. On another note, I also saw that people are also calling the game "woke" because of the Orlan race, which are short, long eared people with fur all over them, and apparently "furries are woke". xD Funny enough, one person who "lost faith" in the game for having pronoun options beside he/him/her/she, had previously tried to defend Avowed as "not being woke, actually", because the Orlan "aren't furries actually", and have been part of the games since the first one (not an "insertion of modern politics). For a game with cannon reincarnation as a fact of everyday life, saying you don't want pronouns besides he/him/she/her seems like a weird line in the sand to draw. I'm not saying you can't say you want/don't want that, but it's just odd specifically for a world where incarnation is 100% a thing. While presenting it as "inserting modern politics" into the game, at least. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s&lc=Ugw0D6iRhtuF1-D1h554AaABAg.ADHth_LY9PqADPCGUGV2xE UPLOAD DATE: 20250114 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @drask1988 AUTHOR_ID: UCTxh47-136yEqZc3UgxP_zA TEXT: the issue is, these are high magical fantasy settings, there should not be a need to sit around in a body you don't feel like. just change it and the whole identity spiel is done. adding this very recent lingo to a fantasy setting just rips you out of it without any benefit or good will to be gained. i like to liken it to saving whales: we should all be on the same page that saving whales is, in general, a great idea and goal. now, if you hamfistedly and overwhelmingly put "SAVE THE WHALES" into everything and anything without nuance, interesting appeal or, especially annoying, context, then people are going to hate whales even more. double that effect for being preachy and condescending about it. be smart, be thought provoking and non-intrusive and you get the desired effect. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s&lc=Ugw0D6iRhtuF1-D1h554AaABAg.ADHth_LY9PqADQZBFOmvlt UPLOAD DATE: 20250114 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @UndeadRLK AUTHOR_ID: UCr-vpEiDTHW4k73WrLDlnvQ TEXT:  @drask1988  I agree with Liana in that I think having the vocabulary be tailored to the worlds would be more compelling. However, I disagree that someone calling a trans person trans or a gay person gay is anymore immersion breaking than having the game explain a new word made up to mean about the same thing in the setting, or just using longer phrases (example: Saying "I prefer the company of men/women", instead of saying "I'm gay"). Don't get me wrong. Having games teach the player about the world with words made for the world like that is the more fun option. I just don't find the difference all that significant for immersion. As for having options for body modification in high fantasy settings, while that is often technically an option, it isn't exactly common, or available to most people in the setting. At least for Dragon age and the Pillars of Eternity fantasy worlds. Dragon age has more options than PoE, since most of the body modification things in PoE were more so about the soul affecting the body, and most cases were outside the control of the body/soul's owner. However, they're not exactly multiple magic versions of Cyberpunk 2077's ripperdocs being placed throughout major cities. There's some inquiry from the Inquisitor to Krem if there is such magic to change his body, and if he'd want to, but such magic isn't confirmed to exist, let alone be widespread enough that it's just available to all. In Veilguard we learn from Lucanis's family that magic was used to make someone else corpse look like him, but we don't find out if such magic is often used on living people. The closest thing to such magic confirmed to 100% exist is the Mirror of Transformation in the Black Emporium. We're talking about a one of a kind magical artifact kept by an ancient being that only ever lets selected people use it. If a fantasy setting has established widespread use/availability of magic that can change your body, sure, I'd agree issues of characters having trouble being in their body wouldn't come up (at least not in the same ways if that wasn't the case). However, for these particular fantasy settings, it isn't the case that a majority of the population has access to such magic. Also, Taash doesn't want to change their body anyway. They just want to be referred to as they/them instead of he/him or she/her. So, such magic wouldn't be relevant to them. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s&lc=UgwQEm2DjDhX9vYUWXt4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250114 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @winterburden AUTHOR_ID: UCiYcyVChRv8qJ8lsNRfDFnA TEXT: Happy Tuesday! ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s&lc=UgwlwRvAFGK8qQ0dIrx4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250114 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @KearnMG AUTHOR_ID: UChRSIah_FXbJAVJ6eye9iig TEXT: This is a great break down of Taash.

In nay other bioware game the player charavter would have the option to ask meamingful questioms about the differemces that taash has personal experiences with, or disagree with Taashs statements based on their understanding (especially if the PC is Qunari) but non only is there zero depth to the conversations, all the player character can do is offer bland milquetoast approval. Taash is fucking terrible in every category imdepemdantly, (Bratyy ignorant egotistical hyporcitical) but she's then made undeniably worse in every categpry due the fact that Veilguard removed the drop down menus or (?) Dialogue selection of previous games and Rook is a bland yes man at all times without the option to push back at all. The idea of a talented teenager with an overinflated ego and the trappimgs of stereotypical teenage behaviour thrown into a apocalypse scenario where they have to grow up fast and deal with new people and conflicting views is very fertile ground for an awesome character... AND taash lets all that potential down. Also there is no meaningful difference between Qunari and rivaini Taash in terms of gender expression or character direction rendering this whole video fucking pointless. Also Taash isnt "removed" from the Qun, shes getting the Qun modified allready and secondhand from her mom with accomodations baked in. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s&lc=Ugz4bOPec1bUbB6fwAJ4AaABAg.ADHSujWMhrMADIkC2ND7Qm UPLOAD DATE: 20250114 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @UndeadRLK AUTHOR_ID: UCr-vpEiDTHW4k73WrLDlnvQ TEXT: ​ @hickorytreeyoutube  Ya know, I think we lost out on some good roleplay opportunities when they took out the mechanic to start up one on one conversations with companions at home base. Granted, I do like the companion conversations and staged conversations BioWare put in DA:TV, but the structure is different. Sure, you don't run into exhausting the dialog all the time, running up to companions, starting the conversation only to say "Bye", or being told they've got "calibrations". However, I do think it's set up with a more limited range for roleplay. I'll ask later about the Origins thing, cause I've got a curious question about it. To be clear about the "prostrated apology", we're talking about the "Barvs" that were pulled, right? If so, Taash didn't ask for either of the ones we're shown. Isabella and Ballera both pull barvs without Taash asking, Ballera doing so even after they say to her that it's no big deal. If this was about some other thing, it must have been something I missed. As for Taash being very rude to Emmerick, (which they most absolutely were, to the point they were too scared to say to his face bluntly how rude they were while apologizing), I disagree that it was "for no reason". Emmerick himself says that Taash was deeply disturbed by necromancy, and that he was unaware, thinking they were pretty much fearless. Taash then admits it was wrong of them to have hidden their feelings about it from Emmerick, and says they were afraid he didn't care about their thoughts on necromancy. Given how Taash's talks with their mother goes, probably a safe bet they expected it to go as well with Emmerick, who's also a teacher like Taash's mom. Also, while yes, the team being at each other's throats won't end well, as it is, the conversation in game can't end without the two of them trying to be nicer to each other, and even leads to more friendly party banters later. Specifically, Taash asking Emmerick about an undead type he's never heard of, and then Emmerick insists they join him on their own little adventure to go see where Taash found the undead. They don't end up as best buddies, sure, but you can't NOT have them get more along after this talk, as far as I've seen. However, I'd say it WOULD be better if there were fail states to some of these talks. Like the fight Miranda and Jack have in Mass Effect 2. Although, instead of one or the other dying in the last mission, I think it would be better in this case that since they can end up talking to each other more about what they like, maybe then later they can survive being put in roles that were more suited for each other (example Emmerick dealing with the wards, Taash leading the fights down at the base of the tower of blight). Instead of being tied to paragon/renegade level it could be affinity level with the companions. Promote switching companions out more often in the party with more ending incentives. Honestly though, the always available "Yell only at Emmerick to pay more attention to his companions' feelings" and the "Yell only at Taash to not be mean to people instead of telling others they're uncomfortable" options are not likely to lead to more group cohesion, if that is your roleplay goal. Still think it would be better roleplay wise for such to be there, as it would enhance the meaning of the other options, and provide the roleplay path for those who want it. In relation to Taash's sex comments, eh, everyone has their own limits on such. It's silly to yum a yuck, or yuck a yum of another. Personally, I found their "...picked you up, put you against a wall, and bite your shoulder?" remark no more lewd than previous series comments. Such as Isabella's "Turned ass over tits, and hammered like a bent nail?". P.S. I do not recall that Dragon age Origin bit you mentioned. Can ya give more details so I can look it up. Tried, but didn't find anything that fit the bill of taking Alistair/Morrigan physically aside to call them out on being mean. I do recall plenty of chats with most of the companions about their behavior in general, but what you're talking about sounds more specific. I don't doubt I've NOT seen/heard all the dialog in that game. That, or it's been years, and I just forgot it. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s&lc=Ugz4bOPec1bUbB6fwAJ4AaABAg.ADHSujWMhrMADIuo8cNxaM UPLOAD DATE: 20250114 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @UndeadRLK AUTHOR_ID: UCr-vpEiDTHW4k73WrLDlnvQ TEXT:  @hickorytreeyoutube  No porb. If ya really want, later I can post back to you your comment, if ya want to see exactly what ya said. Still got it in my notifications. Not quite ringing a bell with them at Redcliffe, but that narrows it down enough for me to look when I can. Thank you. Anyway, early sidenote: Were Sebastian and Merrill really butting heads that much in DA:2? It has been YEARS since I played, but the closest catty thing I can recall between them was Merrill talking about what name Sebastian should give his bow. Naming it after a neighbor she had that got mad and threw things at people. Anyway, I get what ya mean though. Thinking back, DA:2 may have had the group of companions that hated each other the most. Granted, over the course of the game, most grow (or can optionally grow, rather) to like each other well enough. However, some also hands down would kill each other if they weren't both friends with Hawke. Anyway, no probs about being made uncomfortable with sex comments from characters. With these three in particular, it's completely understandable. Consistency, and what not. As for the representation stuff, comes down to a mix of tastes and perspectives. As Liana discussed, in the video, about Dorian's story in DA:I. Some felt it was going in too strong, others felt it represented something personal from their own experiences/knowledge. That said, nothing's perfect, which is good, cause it means we can always improve. I fell into more of Liana's camp of finding the trans stuff of Taash's story to be more a B plot, with the main plot being the two cultures stuff. Didn't see for myself the PC trans/non-binary dialog options. Gonna make my next character Non-binary so I can see what Liana was talking about with them. Also, as another American, to be frank, Taash's and DA:TV's PC's trans stuff could be as good as it could currently be, and it could still probably easily be used as culture war fire fuel. Still, doesn't mean fans shouldn't keep asking for improvements, or that devs shouldn't keep trying for better. Sorry to hear ya didn't end up liking this one. Hope the next one, or another game suits ya better. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s&lc=Ugz4bOPec1bUbB6fwAJ4AaABAg.ADHSujWMhrMADHwN0r2OQz UPLOAD DATE: 20250114 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @UndeadRLK AUTHOR_ID: UCr-vpEiDTHW4k73WrLDlnvQ TEXT: The tone of Rook is a fair bit more locked down than say the Inquisitor in DA:I.

Based on your comment, I assume one thing you wanted Rook to be able to do was insult them more, but that seems a bit shallow of a want to go unserved to decry the narrative over, on its own. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s&lc=UgyFYWGcMjm50l7WLf94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250114 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @webkilla AUTHOR_ID: UCykWUkN1thwmaR1qFRiy8Yg TEXT: wow this is just sad. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s&lc=UgyFYWGcMjm50l7WLf94AaABAg.ADHRnn-IUmnADS8NginrtJ UPLOAD DATE: 20250114 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @bookonlegsbookonlegs8991 AUTHOR_ID: UC6KQVY9Q82hkTYdKZAYYqIQ TEXT: Sounds like a lot of Death of the Author here from Liana. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s&lc=UgyFYWGcMjm50l7WLf94AaABAg.ADHRnn-IUmnADSFPkH7dEs UPLOAD DATE: 20250114 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @webkilla AUTHOR_ID: UCykWUkN1thwmaR1qFRiy8Yg TEXT:  @bookonlegsbookonlegs8991  if you're willing to ignore the obvious woke messaging, I'm sure you can read any kind of message into a game like this ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1MlaGHNi1s&lc=UgyFYWGcMjm50l7WLf94AaABAg.ADHRnn-IUmnADMCvwZQPcV UPLOAD DATE: 20250114 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @sebicmiel4221 AUTHOR_ID: UCIX4wio761qCYpeZD9vWhgg TEXT: Why?

No matter what you claim as the reason, rejecting them for these factors is just as wrong as doing it with any others. What you get from channels like these and most other "reasonable" women when you criticize even mildly these evils,is what Liana produced a few years back with the "Toxic Fanboys" rant. "These companies have nothing against you straight white men, leave us women and minorities alone! It's just a trend!" Majority indeed,"white" people are less than eight percent of the global population, even if you do the anti-European mental gymnastics. But please do continue telling how you are different from Sarkeesian. Saying platitudes like " Not all men are toxic" "Saying that whiteness is problematic is wrong" is just a thin veil when simultaneously covering up or excusing these practices being enacted. And the CEOs, directors, actors, producers writers, executives of movies, tv shows,book publishers, videogame companies, corporations across the world spouting the slogans that the same groups of people,time after time. European people have the right to defend themselves,no matter how much you try to oppose it. American and Canadian women are vastly dodging talking about real issues with any integrity. Those who do are labeled as "pick-mes" like on this channel.

The sarcastic undertone to the narration along with the arcs/''''romances'''' of like half the characters (especially Shadowheart, Asterion and borderline joke character The Dark Urge) and knowing the changes to those characters through development gave me the vibe the developers were pointing and laughing at anyone who wasn't filtering everything in game through a multiple layers of irony or into a joke like they were. To tie it into the topic at hand: An argument I keep encountering as to why more woman/LGBT associated content like romantasy or the stuff in BG3 etc are OK is that the sexual content is like looney tunes is to violence, too absurd and abstract to the point it registers as funny instead sexual, and everyone goes in understanding thar so there is no possiblity of harm, whereas content associated with men is inherently harmful because it focuses on simulating sexual acts.

The Tea app being the best example I can point to where certain actions of groups of women were seen as somehow far more acceptable and fine. The big outrage in some parts of the internet wasn't that some women had a special app to complain about guys they'd been dating and share photos to embarrass the guys and "warn" other women off them, the big outrage was that 4chan got hold of the info of said women and made a "Hot or Not" style web game about rating them complete with a win / loss scoreboard. So to be clear the perception became women ok to talk about how awful, ugly, problematic guys are semi publicly to other random women like some kind of mean girls thing; 4chan are the villains because how dare some-one suggest as an example Melissa the girl who looks the most normal and conventional is more attractive than Tiffany who has 50 + facial piercings and you can barely actually see her face for the amount of metal on it; even then Tiffany is probably still getting some wins in that system from guys who want a girl to match their magnetic personality (Sorry couldn't resist a little pun). Both sides are judging people and there's a level of humiliation at play but there's a weird position that it's ok because I actually don't know the Simpsons has Homer being an idiot so all men are idiots or something? To explain the what I mean more humiliation wise on the 4chan site like 7 of the top 10 hottest pictures were girls who'd shared their guys gaming setup or recent gaming accessory purchases to complain about the guy and the pictures were of said bits of tech. It's seemingly acceptable because the idea of Whisper Networks among women has been deemed socially acceptable but similar things for men are a lot less socially acceptable and viewed with suspicion. If some-one made a film about a bunch of Men who got humiliated on social media then ended up cathartically gunning down those who shamed them......... that film would be called dangerous Incel propaganda, when it's women doing it the film was called Assassination Nation and for a brief while was being pushed certain people as a progressive film meant to teach men to be better....... Which seemingly enough feeds into what you were saying about Abby being held up as a progressive character when she's a Psycho. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH1gvnCMOI8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH1gvnCMOI8&lc=Ugzz5wtV9TR-RVi-XCF4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250804 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @eyezerocool AUTHOR_ID: UCvhvD480jaXZzYAh543kLpA TEXT: I feel this ad an mtf.

On a more relevant note; years ago they stopped having models walk sportsmen out during um some sport I don't recall, in the name of "protecting women". What this actually did was mean a lot of women lost their jobs and that's pretty much what this "protect women" mentality is. It's about protecting the idea of what women should be even if, and usually at the expense of women. I don't know the details but a documentary about a porn star dropped and now the UK government is talking about banning her particular style of content under the "protect women" label because it MIGHT lead to women being harmed in some way.

"Cis-het, white men." that's getting to me. Despite supposedly being against it, populist feminism has exploited the idea that trans, gay, bi, queer, and (to a differing extent) non-white men have nothing in common with men who are cisgendered, heterosexual and white. Driving a very effective rhetorical wedge between such men and carving the demographic apart for political benefit. The idea itself is a just a rigid patriarchal gender norm: Those "men" aren't men they're queer men, gay men, etc. The schema being that there are "good men", "bad men" and "not men". At it's most insidious, populist feminism reduces the schema down to just "bad men" and "not men". Because good men are completely invisible. And from what you say here, it sounds like the feminist schema is "good women" and "not women". Because there's no such thing as a bad woman. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH1gvnCMOI8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH1gvnCMOI8&lc=UgycyzcE1d_H1YM7Vtl4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250804 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @michaellewis1545 AUTHOR_ID: UCz_-lre8IsZv1nPr-xgfeAQ TEXT: One thing I wish was brought up more in these discussions about these violent and gooner games, is that a lot of guys are rejecting them on their own.

This scorched earth approach towards any sort of sexual expression in media under the pretense of "Protecting women" is no different than the religious puritans who belive that any sort of open displays of sexuality is indecent and will lead to the collapse of society. This idea that "protecting"(Read: infantilizng) women and supressing any sort of NSFW content is completely antiheticial to women having any sort of autonomy or agency in their life. Unfortunately the minute you point that out, or dare to suggest that artists shouldn't censor themselves just to appease the rigid sensibilities of a bunch of pearl clutching puritantical feminists; you again get accused of being a "Pickme cool girl okay with misogyny", or an "Entitled incel crying about the mean ol' feminists taking away his gooner bait". Seriously, it gets real tedious having to walk on eggshells, and having to explain that we shouldn't have to compromise artistic freedom in the name of "protecting" women without being lumped in with the type of men who use "fighting for artistic freedom" as a cover for wanting to get his rocks off, or the anti-woke grifters who call any female character who isn't built like a DoA character "ugly".

With the topic of discussion here that women are being protected. Aline (paintress) needs protection as she has had PTSD type trauma! Renoir loses son also, is losing wife to significant grief, had daughter maimed by fire (is it me or was Verso and Renoir the only ones who seemed to care about Alecia). I have yet to see anyone even sympathize with him losing his whole family. Does Renoir not get any protection just cause he is a man? He is trying to save what remains of his family even if he is not going about it in the best way. It may be grief and his own trauma that is clouding his judgement. In the end the best part of that game is that all the characters are human. None of them are perfect, all of them make mistakes and all must deal with consequences of choices. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH1gvnCMOI8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH1gvnCMOI8&lc=Ugzwj7PsH_UNpQiD7y94AaABAg.ALPRlCi4ZXkALPbnVUFPCn UPLOAD DATE: 20250804 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: You don't protect someone from their own trauma.

For reference, she played Deb Morgan in Dexter, the main character in Quarantine, and the girl who crashed the fuck out in the dressing room in White Chicks. Straight brown hair, big eyes, petite but athletic build, small breasts. Which works fine for me, because that is my physical preference regarding appearance, but even I'm sick of that being the prevalent archetype. Which is why I find it amusing when people argue that I only prefer the REAL (original) Lara Croft over the new one because "she's a male sexual fantasy". She's not MY fantasy! Physically, I find the new one more attractive. The REAL Lara Croft was a badass. She solved puzzles, kicked ass, fought beings who were borderline deities, and sure, she used her sexuality to get what she wanted sometimes...

Is it true gaming sites are now enforcing ethics policies and disclosing there relations to the subjects a lot more than they did before and 2.

Where male anger is encouraged and is emblematic of strenght, at the same time is seen as dangerous thing that's emblematic of the patriarchy rewarding bad behavior from men and needs to be stomped out. It's just a real unpleasant time. It also seems like a matter of status, where someone in a high position of power or status are allowed to just blow up and have these massive adult tantrums.(I mean seriously, our current President is basically the Humansona of King John from Disney's Robin Hood!) Where as some Joe average rando getting angery is seen as a red flag, or a potential mass killer in the making. Again it just reeks of Apex fallacy.. This is also why I really don't fully buy that "Boys will be boys" is this magic phrase that automatically absolves boys of wrongdoing(Especially in the realm of Sexual Assault or Harassment). It's one thing if it's some rich nepobaby who get's bailed out on Daddy's money, or some Son of a Karen who gets off the hook for his bad behavior because heaven forbid you dare to insinuate that Little Damien is anything less than Mommy's perfect little angel can do no wrong. It's another thing if there's clear signs that something is wrong under the surface.(Honestly, the whole "Boys will be boys" debacle could be an entirly different conversation all together.) As always, don't get it twisted. I still agree that we need to excise caution into not unintentionally rewarding adult tantrums and bad behavior, at the same time, just blanket condeming any open displays of anger is just veering too close into thoughtcrime territory and everyone loses. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gR_m2q_YDI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gR_m2q_YDI&lc=UgzhtjrtKzOzDmzko0p4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260112 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @JesseandKainon AUTHOR_ID: UCbK12grpzWlQRb0G3EBGvEQ TEXT: Everybody poops ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gR_m2q_YDI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gR_m2q_YDI&lc=UgwJ7sthvsrfy8HV1IF4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260112 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @LMondoux AUTHOR_ID: UCPWsCeb4_Okgx0S6MyjLiJw TEXT: Microphone is working fine at rhe start.

Aparently, it was observed that when things became heated and the woman calmed down first, the man would also de-escalate and things would get resolved much easier. But if the man calmed down first, the woman would escalate and get more upset and the conflict would be harder to resolve. And I think that makes sense, given the unique ways society messes with both parties. The reason the woman calming down first had a good result with the man is because his anxiety was more likely wrapped up in fear of losing control of the situation. So her becoming more calm dropped his anxiety and let him actually hear what she was saying instead of anticipating fall-out. And the reason the man calming down first made the woman ramp up is because she's run across similiar "calm down" tactics as a shut-down method once to many times. Even if that wasn't his intent, even if he was trying to calm things down so that they could hear each other, that may not be how it lands. And of course, this is an unfair situation no matter how you slice it. It's not fair on the woman to always have to be the one to deescalate first and effectively does put her in charge of his emotions. But on the flipside, if a man is really trying to not put all that burden on her and own his responsibility to de-escalate, it's also not fair to automatically assume that's a shut-down either. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEj0OoPkN8o COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEj0OoPkN8o&lc=UgypA7lWl8ukHJGaTs94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260119 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @AzLocam AUTHOR_ID: UC5I1MZTbdokLIkwUTv-i63Q TEXT: Sorry gurl ya talking like Ai like most teenagers these days ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEj0OoPkN8o COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEj0OoPkN8o&lc=UgwtT7rby-YmfmlQhFZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260119 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @AzLocam AUTHOR_ID: UC5I1MZTbdokLIkwUTv-i63Q TEXT: No one cares if you have emotions anymore so modern day stoicism is warranted...

Of course, one has to take into consideration that 80% of the female crew was 20 out of 23. Whereas the 21% of male crew was 192 out of 885. 693 men working on the Titanic were allowed to perish.

There was a human rights tribunal in Vancouver several years ago in which a comedian was found to have violated the rights of a lesbian couple when he heckled them for arriving late, which is a common thing comedians do. The women threw drinks in his face and smashed his eyeglasses. The comedian and the restaurant were ordered to pay the women $22,500. This happened to me last year on a cruise ship when my lady and I were scanning the auditorium for open seats and when we found them in the front row he made some comments and called her "sweetheart." I was a bit embarrassed but also kind of proud because she was looking fine that night.

I wont rehash the long comment I made there. But I do have more to add. Part of the problem is that most men (and I mean the vast majority) wont see a woman being attacked by a man even once in their lives. Because attacks happen, as you say, in their homes, behind closed doors. Whereas every woman has known multiple women who've been attacked by a partner. And women do discuss these things, even if it's only in rumours. Additionally, the friends and family safety net is perceived as being much stronger for women. An idea which is somewhat debunked by the demand for women's shelters (and how they're all full, as you mentioned). The social net is often larger for women but does more for emotional support than physical protection. And abuse often starts with isolating their victims from friends and family anyways. Lastly, I'm reminded of a saying: "A lock does no more than keep an honest man honest." Security cameras, single-sex spaces, basic human decency. These only work to keep good people from doing bad things. Naturally, good people believe: If these things stop me, they'll stop the bad people. But they don't. Even a good man can look at all the provisions made to keep women safe and think "these things must be protecting women" but the reality is they only keep the good men good. The bad men keep finding another way around. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH8afNy98Vc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH8afNy98Vc&lc=UgypKVWSArPQGSfhnOt4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250721 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @moret25 AUTHOR_ID: UCcvdy91tB0U1TngPUflO9Vg TEXT: Well let's not pretend like men have a choice when it comes to being drafted to the front lines ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH8afNy98Vc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH8afNy98Vc&lc=Ugy8Fm7tbItTtGFGGNx4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250721 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ravenshrike AUTHOR_ID: UCPDL73eup4o8jS-akH5251w TEXT: looks at divorce, family, and employment law, as well as criminal conviction rates and sentences Yes, you have overwhelmingly more protections in all four arenas in the US. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH8afNy98Vc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH8afNy98Vc&lc=Ugy8Fm7tbItTtGFGGNx4AaABAg.AKqjeqLFczXAKrCjdNRm7k UPLOAD DATE: 20250721 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: I'm not in the US.

Women are more covered by society and they are more smothered in society. A covering can do either and often does do both. Society is designed to safeguard all of us from nature. Women have less exposure to nature so I'd say they are more protected by society as a group. Society generates waste and strain. Women bear more of this than men do. Women are more oppressed by society as a group. For your second point. Evil is highly adaptive. Emotional intelligence will make men different it won't necessarily make things better for men or women. If you are set on nurturing the emotional intelligence of men you must make women more disingenuous. I actually think men and women need what is amounting to the same thing within their social circles. Stability that evolves in complexity. A game with mounting rules that prepares you for the approaching chaos of "real" life. Keeping the game simple or making it unplayable to start are both dangerous. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH8afNy98Vc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH8afNy98Vc&lc=UgxGbM5mg9GU9UhbCpx4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250721 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @IslandFenix AUTHOR_ID: UCN6sFpxDvrBOM-TYM7ddceQ TEXT: I suspect that some boys/men will still be wary even if attempts to nuture them increase. I've seen some 'ads' for people selling their coaching services that claim that the defensiveness which many men react with when challenged in relationships comes from childhood wounding which is a good start, but then the pivot is that said defensiveness makes women feel unsafe and thus unable to settle into her 'natural, submissive feminine'. Somehow therapy doesn't work so their one on one coaching is the only way to 'heal' the wound for good. At best, some men might distrust this because it makes them feel less like humans to be loved and more like threats to be managed because the aim of the coaching is not to validate the client's needs and values but to remove the unhealthy coping mechanism so it doesn't affect others negatively. At worst, it drives them back into a performance mode to 'earn' the affection they're looking for with the worst subsection acting abusively if they think the 'reward' is insufficient, which justifies the fears of women. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH8afNy98Vc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH8afNy98Vc&lc=UgzFf7xNPrU_hnaHdjB4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250721 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @neilvarma AUTHOR_ID: UC_9bX8q25qDIzzL9LSL07JQ TEXT: Yes they are.

It's a combination of Pretty privilage, the Halo Effect, Trophy victim, missing white woman syndrome,(Basically the type of person that would get the attention of the 24 hour news cycle) where if a woman fits that Ideal victim mold they're given all the protection, all the benefit of the doubt, an are basically seen as a precious innocent small bean and a defenseless baby that must be protected at all cost, and can do no wrong and that anyone who dare insinuate otherwise basically gets eaten alive by the court of public opinion for "punching down on a defenseless victim", because the trophy victim also has an army of white knights at their beck and call. Whereas any woman who doesn't neatly fit into those boxes, or refuses to let herself be pidgeonholed into the roles others try to make for her, she's immediately SOL. Likewise, this phenomenon is seen in men.(Albiet not as prevalant). Particullarly with men on the spectrum, where autistic men who give off those "wholesome innocent small bean vibes" are seen more favorably than those who fit the stereotypical "Neckbeard Incel" profile. This whole mess basically proves my point that the Armchair activists are just as performative about their beliefs as the brands are. Where they only care about uplifitning the underclassed when it's convenient to them.

Joss Whedon was seen as the male feminist dude who tried to take advantage of women and cheat on his wife and people whispered but didn't dare for quite a while to come out and call out his behaviour, hell Anita still hasn't even said anything despite her doing a video before with him mocking people against her. Whedon's friend Devin Faraci admitted on twitter before to doing what Trump bragged out on an open mic clip that got put out there. Some people seem to forget Harvey Weinstein was seen before metoo ad a champion for women and he rallied Hollywood behind Hillary and was being celebrated as some great example of a male feminist to be like. Plenty of guys who've been round the internet long enough have been told how they're bad for whatever (Not seeking to appease and support women like Anita) and seen men who seek to appease and support women as a manipulation tactic to further abuse or stop it coming to light and so would rather the Whispers be "Hey this guy whose so awful did a good thing" than it be "This guy who is so good is in reality a monster and a fake". More so because it also doesn't mean having to be fake as such because of how the term misogynist has become so twisted such that people willing to treat women as equals and being willing to debate them as such not merely seek to appease and have them approve is misogynistic because they're not supporting women or something. But hey maybe it's just because of growing up when I did and getting into the stuff I did because we had Farscape and shows like it where Crichton and Aeryn Sun were willing challenge one another not try to constantly appease. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QErn2ZA8p44 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QErn2ZA8p44&lc=UgweZbewVergpvDwilx4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250505 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Dwavenhobble AUTHOR_ID: UCSe3Phjrbm5DiAZbTeJka1Q TEXT: One thing I've noticed is there's very much a line between a girl wanting you to get to know her and put in effort and it being seen as creepy and being too into getting to know her (this is before getting into the guys calling one another simp etc) like the "Ok it's creepy now you know a lot of what I like and I know nothing about you really". Real examples from my time at Uni: The girl who was into True Blood and we talked about it often when I mentioned a facebook post of hers (we were friends of Facebook too) about going to see the Rocky Horror Picture show she was weirded out and when I later awkwardly asked her out she couldn't get away fast enough and for the rest of the time at Uni acted like I was a weird creepy dude. The girl whom I happened to notice wore a "The Flash" hoodie and a Batman belt and I mentioned it in passing as we made polite conversation, actually we nearly did start dating and it was bad timing for both of us that only stopped it (I was in a relationship, then she was with some-one she'd been friends with for years and didn't want to dump him, then neither of us were but I didn't know and didn't turn up to the end of year dance thing but she did hoping to find me, in my defence it was £70 for 1 night on like the mid to late 2000s). There's also the current balancing act of making a woman feel special vs it being seen as making other women appear lesser as I've seen some women take compliments as attacks on other women sort of a "You look beautiful" "So you're saying you don't think these other women round me are beautiful?" ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QErn2ZA8p44 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QErn2ZA8p44&lc=Ugzs0UUCT7FQgpZFKWR4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250505 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @OtseisRagnarok AUTHOR_ID: UCmMR4oYBg40VHrcS72oGsLw TEXT: I like the acknowledgement that men really want female approval more than anything else, and the whole incel movement is kind of sour grapes about not getting it.

Instead you're forced into a position where any offer of friendliness comes with fear that you're going to be flirted with, and there's a feeling that you'll have to give him justification to get him to leave you alone. I have an elderly neighbor who hadn't been taking care of himself, and he got a haircut. We were on the elevator together, and I said hello to him and told him his haircut looked nice. I then had to spend the whole ride wondering if he was going to misinterpret it as flirting and now make things awkward. I feel like one of the bigger problems for the younger generations is that young men go to men that are putting on acts to pretend they are some perfect specimen of "societal masculinity", and they ask them "What do I do to get a girl's attention?". Rather than listening to a woman, they listen to men who live lives on social media that aren't even close to reality. If I wanted to impress a guy, and it wasn't working, I'd go to a guy that seemed similar and say, "Hey, what am I doing wrong?". Why? Because similar guy probably understands the guy you like better than a girl who pretends to have a harem of men following her on a social media account. Instead they ask the guy living in a fantasy, and then when the woman says, "That isn't what I want.", they want to know why she is playing games and lying. We're not lying. You just got bad advice. As someone who has been in love with comics, horror, sci-fi, RPGs, ec. my whole life; I can agree that the nerdsphere is one of the most toxic places for women. To gain acceptance you have to be put into one of four tropes (which "Big Bang Theory" exploited to its fullest). Penny: The outsider that looks down on nerds and judges them but can be accepted by them, even though she'll never really be one of them. The Socially Awkward Intellectual: The characters like Garcia on "Criminal Minds" (though she is awesome) or Amy on BBT, who aren't nerds but are socially awkward and smart so are close enough to being part of the nerdsphere that you're accepted but don't actually like the things they like. The Siren that wants to manipulate you: That girl that uses nerds for their own entertainment as subs in a sexual relationship that may involve manipulation to get things (used all the time on shows like BBT) The woman that isn't REALLY a woman: They haven't been able to shoehorn you into one of these categories, so they are constantly going to challenge your knowledge on things, contradict you on topics they don't feel like you have a right to be a part of, and try to figure out how it is that you're not REALLY a woman, if they can't prove you're a poser or some other group. This happens A LOT, if you happen (like me) to be LGBT+, because they suddenly go, "Oh, that's why you're different." The best thing I ever did for myself was remove anything gendered from my social media. Immediately I was treated better and was respected more. People actually focused on what I said, rather than what my gender was. If I was embarrassed, it was over something I said, instead of, "Of course, you'd say that. You're a woman." behavior. I was also allowed to be right. I remember once on the old "Oro Jackson" utopia "One Piece" forum, where someone asked who would win in fight between Magellan and Blackbeard. It was a dumb question to start out, because that fight already had happened, and Magellan nearly killed Blackbeard with the ease of brushing past him in the hallway. I said this. I provided the video where Magellan defeated all of BB's crew with him, without even slowly down his walk. The guy who asked the question was going RABID telling me how stupid I was and that that wasn't what happened. Then a male friend came in and said, "Actually that is what happened. See?", and the same rabid jackhole immediately said, "Oh, I see what you're saying.". I said, "Why didn't you see it when I gave you the information.", and he started ranting again that I never said any of it, even with it being quoted to him. The next day, I took my gender off the account. Like a lightswitch flicked, everything suddenly changed. I was allowed to talk about who would win in fights. I was allowed to point out when things were done that were not okay with the series. It was like gaining a super power. The things is, most women will refer to me on social media as "they/them" because they don't know what my gender is, but most men refer to me as "guy", "bro", "fella", etc. and call me "he/him"; because they naturally assume that I MUST be a man, if I know what I am talking about. I'm glad I did it, but at the same time, I HATE THAT I HAVE TO. For anyone that read all of this, thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QErn2ZA8p44 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QErn2ZA8p44&lc=UgxcnlvebcqNX5ZUxW94AaABAg.AHkmp9aCmOYAHnRqxs0mXP UPLOAD DATE: 20250505 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Dwavenhobble AUTHOR_ID: UCSe3Phjrbm5DiAZbTeJka1Q TEXT: So to address the "prove some argument to justify why they should accept your no" it's more about trying to solve something.

Every person has the right to say, "No, thank you." and not have to explain their choice; and rather than accepting that it isn't all about you, and they don't owe you an answer, they want to keep digging. That is their issue to fix in themselves, not my problem to make them feel better, because they feel that way. Answering doesn't even solve the problem or make them feel better, because what happens if you do say, "I'm just not looking for a relationship right now.", "I am not interested in you, because..." (You aren't an appropriate age. I don't get a good vibe from you. I'm not attracted to you. I don't like the way you spoke to me. A million other reasons.), "I'm just trying to have dinner and listen to a podcast right now." or anything else, he doesn't say, "Oh, that's what the issue is. Thank you for explaining it." He wants to argue the topic. Even if you tell them that you are not attracted to men, there are far too many men that want to have a full explanation they aren't entitled to about who you are interested in, which is immediately followed by them telling you why they think that if you just gave them a chance, you'd realize that you really would be attracted to men, if you just tried. Or they want to give an argument for whatever your response is. It's not a question and an answer. It's an initiation of a debate. This is part of the problem. No one is entitled to the time and attention of another person, and they are certainly not entitled to force the person to provide them a full rebuttal, so that they can feel more secure in the rejection (and attempt to argue with her about why her reason isn't valid.). Part of becoming an adult is realizing that while we are social creatures, and the treatment and mistreatment of others has an impact on who we are and what we feel; it is our responsibility to take care of our own feelings. This is different in situations where you are talking to a close family member, friend, or significant other; but when you are approaching someone for a date, they are not responsible for your feelings. You are. Women manage to do it every day. Yet somehow men are owed an explanation, because THEY have feelings that need supported. What about my ability to do what I'm trying to do, enjoy my day, feel safe in a public place, not have to come up with prepared lines just in case he wants me to prove that I have a good enough reason to say no? And heaven forbid if she isn't entirely polite and just says, "No."; because then you're just a bitch. It is almost always going to turn into a game of 20 questions to prove you're wrong to feel the way you feel, a knee jerk reaction to insult me for saying no, or a prolonged exchange of, "But why? But why? But why?"; because they decided that you owe the that. Relationships aren't supposed to be about who you can wear down or bully into accepting. It's supposed to be about two people who mutually agreed that they would like to spend time together. When the desire only goes one way, that is the reason. The full reason is, "Because I said no.". You don't need a better answer. It's no. Accept that it is no. Leave them alone. They do not owe you anything. It is not a puzzle to be solved. You have asked, "Are you interested?". She has said, "No, thank you.". That is all you should expect of another person, male or female. Be polite, be nice, and stop making demands on people; because it makes you feel more validated at the cost of their peace. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QErn2ZA8p44 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QErn2ZA8p44&lc=Ugy8Lon0cX4udsiA-ZJ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250505 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @dercooney AUTHOR_ID: UCXwNe9Keuvq5glvLcA8cmeg TEXT: no, i'm the reward. or some other thing i'm working towards. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QErn2ZA8p44 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QErn2ZA8p44&lc=UgzGRqBCsYerk8zzK8h4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250505 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: It's a good video.

The first is obvious. Too many people put too much value on sexuality and assume something due to what they believe. Doesn't help that there are people who don't understand psychology, but use what they don't understand to say their assumption is accurate. Regardless of how wrong they are. I honestly won't be surprised if the people believe something has a "biological bases" are simply misinterpreting what is in psychology. Seeing how there is nothing in biology that reinforce any of these beliefs. Likewise, some will also rely on whoever or whatever they idolize to reinforce whichever inaccuracy they believe to be true. I say whatever because I've come across people who now idolize AI and trust that over tested research and other more solid information. The second problem is that we are simultaneously connected and divided. The vast majority of people are connected to a community that is international, yet will know nothing of their neighbors if said neighbors are not within that community. I'm not just talking about social media, seeing how there are people who still communicate through CB radio and newsletters. The reason why I say this whole thing is a problem is the fact that many communities know how to communicate among themselves, but don't know how to communicate outside of their social circles. They don't know what is acceptable or what is taboo. Likewise, some may accidentally commit a taboo when they believe it to be the norm. Although I can easily say some of the "male behavior" isn't within my social circles, one thing I and others do need to keep in mind that there are social circles where such behavior is a normal thing. Unfortunately, some either don't know or forget that, which in turn leads to people having a negative response. It may also be why some of the men will take offense, seeing how there is the feeling of being accused of committing a taboo when there is no accusation being made. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QErn2ZA8p44 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QErn2ZA8p44&lc=Ugy1otdfMSaJFf1G0vR4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250505 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @eyezerocool AUTHOR_ID: UCvhvD480jaXZzYAh543kLpA TEXT: As a leftist you have the right to tell those other leftist to ef the heck off.

Just like feminism could not have made the gains that it has without some degree of cooperation from men, we need more women to be sympathetic to the struggles men face in both the old social paradigms and the new. Currently, it seems as if anyone who makes an effort to address men's issues -- even from a feminist lens -- is assumed to be in league with the Council of Misogyny and demonized accordingly. We're told that we need to to establish positive men's spaces ad nauseam, but these spaces are only permitted to exist in mainstream feminist culture if their focus remains primarily on women's needs and treat men as an afterthought. (Ironically, women don't seem to have a problem engaging in "toxically masculine" shaming and bullying tactics to discredit good-faith efforts to advocate for men.) Because of this backlash, the only mainstream spaces that can afford to be unabashedly male-focused are the ones who give the least fucks about the backlash: the actual misogynists. I don't envy the people who run platforms like this channel, which profess feminist ideals in a way that dares to be sympathetic toward men.

I really don't this revisionist hystory that Mario saving Princess Peach is basically a way of instilling the idea of women as a reward. It's very disengenous and just as bad faith of an arguement as the anti-woke gremlins who basically threw around the term "Mary sue" towards any female character that shows any shred of agency.(Not to mention it convinently ignores the times where Peach does show agency in her roles, or even activly working alongside Mario.) Likewise that experience of being labeled a "pickme girl" just seems very contradictory to the idea of rejecting traditional gender roles. Where it's like "Reject traditional feminiinity. No not like that!" It's a classic case of wanting their cake and eating it too. It's also a real shame that wanting a man woman's approval has been looked down upon in recent times. From both the militant Toxic feminists(As well as the male "allies" who are paradoxically guilty of the faux nice guy behavior they criticize other men for) who dismiss any open display of chivalry as being a cover for some type of alterior motive, and the manosphere who see's treating women with basic human decency as indicitive of a lack of masculinity. Don't get it twisted, I agree that haphazardly sacrificing your own diginity for external validation is just as damaging, at the same time showing vunerability shouldn't be seen as shameful. Empathy is a 2-way street, and constantly being rejected and being made to feel like dirt can really grind down on a person.(Doubly so if you're someone on the spectrum.) And just ridiculing a person for being that vunerable isn't going to solve anything. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QErn2ZA8p44 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QErn2ZA8p44&lc=Ugxe2EmO-Fpaf8KSTtN4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250505 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Aries73 AUTHOR_ID: UCXcjFnRxCrfoPY-QIu5fKsw TEXT: I’ll keep saying it for the people who holler like hit dogs at the term “incel”: Don’t want the label?

I think there is one, entirely non-sexual and innocent way that most men are desperate for the approval of women. You see it when people talk about male abuse of women. The line "Not all men are like that, though" really just means "Please tell me you don't see me that way." The experience for most men is being treated like he's a threat to the women (and often children) around him. The approval of even one woman feels like someone telling you "you don't deserve to be treated that way" or "I know you'd never hurt someone". Words very few men will ever get to hear.

That's why we see women feel more comfortable centering themselves in self-validation and asserting their right to do so, while men still feel caught up in external standards to seek acceptance and are still in the early stages of pushing back against these norms the way women have. I also think that a lot of women have swung so far in the direction of self-approval that they don't care enough about what other people think in order to be healthy and effective members of society -- and that feeling entitled to the life you want just for existing is arguably worse than feeling entitled because you did what society asked of you. So maybe what we all really need is a point of balance where we care just enough about what people think to not be assholes and do good in the world while still advocating for our own needs, and also reducing our sense of entitlement altogether. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QErn2ZA8p44 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QErn2ZA8p44&lc=Ugz0ZbVNu2CRGT2A2Ll4AaABAg.AHk78ZCHNq2AHkQvctgKNp UPLOAD DATE: 20250505 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @IslandFenix AUTHOR_ID: UCN6sFpxDvrBOM-TYM7ddceQ TEXT:  @umbrascitor2079  You make some very good points, but I have a minor disagreement. It's easy to say that men feel caught up in external standards but I think that often ignores why i.e. they often don't get the validation they need growing up; the assumption is that patriarchy supplies that validation in abundance, often at the physical and emotional expense of women, when at best it selectively rewards performance and at worst actively victimizes those that don't conform. Sometimes that's the result of an abusive home, other times it't the result of society assuming, as Liana said, that the toxic masculine is the norm. Thus even when some men do try to self validate they're seen as narcisstic and entitled and that then gets applied to the whole group. It's understandable that one doesn't have the energy to be empathetic with every encounter, but I find it weird that the encouragement for men is to fight through the difficulties to a place of self actualization (which is another reason why men feel pressured to live up to external standard regarless of the dominant system) while for women the encouragement is for the removal of systemic barriers thus making the fight unnecessary. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QErn2ZA8p44 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QErn2ZA8p44&lc=Ugz0ZbVNu2CRGT2A2Ll4AaABAg.AHk78ZCHNq2AHkUyivTv-m UPLOAD DATE: 20250505 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @umbrascitor2079 AUTHOR_ID: UCXdUiEMFK1eZAL2CpNNTEgg TEXT: @IslandFenix  I think that's also true and isn't necessarily in disagreement with what I said.

A lot of Dragon Ball is the idea of needing to improve, the become better to overcome the challenges and there is always improvement to be made to work on being better, the value is the potential of forever better. Meanwhile in Twilight and many of it's imitators the main character is portrayed as plain not the desirable girl or comparatively ugly but it's the person (normally guy) seeing them as special and having inherent value that lets them shine. They didn't have to train or develop, they already were that but needing some-one to stop themselves and the world holding back their special.

Unfortunately as you said, between seeing men in most positions of power and then seeing the power dynamic being replicated in their homes and schools (especially being on the receiving end), the fact that most men don't benefit from receiving that patriarchal validation goes unnoticed to the point that they don't realize how they (men and women) may end up contributing to the problem while trying to assert themselves. That awareness NEEDS to be a key part of the process because otherwise an invisible majority ends up drifting away due to feeling like no matter what they either do or don't do that they're at fault for not being worthy enough to love, which ends up concentrating the vocal minority into an increasingly toxic soup. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QErn2ZA8p44 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QErn2ZA8p44&lc=Ugz0ZbVNu2CRGT2A2Ll4AaABAg.AHk78ZCHNq2AHmSLQm_gv3 UPLOAD DATE: 20250505 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: ​ @IslandFenix so let me get this straight.

The more boys are expected to feel ashamed of their natural sexual nature even before they begin maturing into men, the more they will prize and sometimes desperately pursue acceptance of this most vulnerable aspect of themselves. It may not be that sexual access is necessarily the "ultimate form" of acceptance males seek; it's more that this is where repression from society has built up the most pressure inside them. If a guy is attractive enough to experience easy sexual access, it might be some other form of acceptance that takes that role. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WStwgb7RxZc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WStwgb7RxZc&lc=Ugx8yyM5cmITmj986cl4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250421 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @gundamforreal AUTHOR_ID: UCxfD4GUd6h7DrTM7kg9BYLw TEXT: So "conventional wisdom", if such a thing still exists, states that apologising for things that are not your fault is a sign of low self-esteem.

Also I think there are two main reasons for it. The first would be our historical (and to a lesser extent contemporary) obsession with female purity, because it's turned protecting ourselves into a virtue, and when your main concern is self-protection, that at best condones and at worst encourages cowardice. The second would be the whole idea that a proper woman doesn't ask for anything directly, which also implies that a proper woman shouldn't need to ask directly. So if a woman finds herself unable to get her needs met through indirect means, she either has to come to terms with the posibility of being improper (the braver choice) or adopt a victim mentality where whatever she does to get back at the people failing to meet her needs is justified, so long as it's indirect and won't get her outed as "mean" (the cowards way). ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WStwgb7RxZc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WStwgb7RxZc&lc=UgxDLghe_r4GHq5H2ch4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250421 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @wrmsnicket AUTHOR_ID: UCxSX9m5IhDca6JcBKdh_chQ TEXT: I really love this paradigm because it paints Shaggy and Scooby as genuine people who are just in touch with their feelings while the villain of the episode is the true coward because he’d rather game the system, scaring and stealing from people, rather than reaching out to friends, family, or community for support. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WStwgb7RxZc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WStwgb7RxZc&lc=UgyEPzm38bUsxwXaCNp4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250421 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @NekoAV1134 AUTHOR_ID: UCjwU0W1iYCCSgxgTtMCEzmA TEXT: What you said of emotions in the beginning is exactly why I say emotions are a strength and not a weakness.

In a strange way, some of them aren't cowards, seeing how so many genuinely believe themselves to be doing something important.

I don't mean this in a mean or bad way I mean this in as genuine a way as a youtube comment can come off as, but are you in an ok headspace? I ask because I'm noticing just bits here and there that are making me concerned enough to ask as you seem like you might not in the best place. To use an example from another youtuber whose work I watch Robert "Moviebob" Chipman. A lot in his content for a while now he's been on about how awful the Snydercut supporters are. As in only a week or two ago despite the film having come and gone and people being happy with it. With your content it's just you seem to be focussing on the negative not the positive despite the message of some of your videos being not to do that. You've said you love the big club weapon in Assassins Creed Shadows and that you think it's a good game but I've not noticed may more specifics about why this game is good / enjoyable but I've noticed far more comments about why the critics of the game are wrong. Also other similar things you've brought up a few times like the "ugly ugly ugly" stuff I'm not saying pointing out the games critics is inherently bad to do but it's a headspace I recognise as having been in myself before, such as last year when I'd been in hospital (I say nothing too serious it was enough to be in there and probably would have got more serious but when you can walk away with minor I'm guessing it's facial scarring I've got left) it's the sort of pulling back you've mentioned from other groups etc. It's the not wanting people to sort of ruin things for others as you've found something you enjoy currently and are seeking solace in something you enjoy. It's something I do when I'm run down where I look up shows that are done and not currently in the present pop culture discussion as a thing I can enjoy with some measure of peace. The thing being the thing you've found you enjoy is currently in the middle of the ever moving battleground of the culture was and, it's just tiring. It's easy to focus on the critics rather than what you personally enjoy about it, that's why I tend to pick older lesser known stuff to avoid that. Deadly Class being a recent one of before that I was very much enjoying The Boarding School: Las Cumbres, which is a horror series I enjoyed as some-one only marginally into horror and not a big fan of that much Kensington gore. I could be entirely wrong Liana and have just picked up on something that's not there actually but I'm noticing things that I know I do myself that say the proverbial batteries are low and it's time to rest of recharge a bit if you can.

(Not gay and not even bi, and wasn't looking at them at the time.) Then they went to a safe distance under the bridge on the other side and started throwing stones. These are probably the same types who, in college over a decade ago, grabbed my backside when no one else was around. No one else was around to call them out on their BS. If there were these cowards would run laughing. Now, I can't fight back due to personal physical issues. I doubt they'd care even if they knew. So, I did walk away without a word. (At most, I rolled my eyes at the stupidity. Even now, I think I am brain damaged and my brain worked better at their age.) I guess my point in this is beyond the rant, which I apologise for. Is the cowards select what they can get away with. Or what they think they can get away with. I am afraid to get into a physical fight for obvious reasons. And I am afraid of an S accusation against me because I feel like I have to move mountains and part the oceans (Figuratively.), which will still not prove my innocence. Just because I am male. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WStwgb7RxZc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WStwgb7RxZc&lc=UgzEXkY5HK5ffiI2UjV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250421 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TheArceusftw AUTHOR_ID: UCynpVSnrzeDrdMqNSOHzCNQ TEXT: Really, you couldn't have said it any better.

If some group or individual has a reputation for kindness and understanding and they treat you with distain, it's a lot more painful than getting poor treatment from quarters where you expect it. I remember back when I worked childcare, my manager at the time was a lesbian earth-mother type. So one day at work I was struggling through a rough time-of-the-month and took her aside to let her know, in case I seemed at all off my game. I didn't say anything untoward or where any kids could hear. She shrieked loudly and called me "disgusting" and how she "hates knowing that about other women."

Mainly because, I've developed the sense that I'm being irrationally targeted, for merely existing,. And I don't mean in a self-serving "I'm being persecuted because people enforce their boundaries, or I'm shocked that my actions have consiquences" sort of way. More, that I have this sense that people just see me as an easy target to just kick around for no reason. And I'm just left going "Why are you doing this to me, I've done nothing wrong!" Doubly so, where I think that certain people are given more social allowance (Mainly due to pretty privilidge)to act out and held to much less scruitany for their actions. Where if it ever gets to the point where I can't take it anymore, I'm fully anticipate the likelyhood of being branded a "Psycho autistic boy gone off his meds". Likewise, that part about feeling invalidated because of my interests being seen as vile. That hit me hard. In recent times, I've developed an underlying feeling of insecurity about my interests, given alot of my interests tend to skew towards content geared towards children such as children's cartoons, Nintendo games(and titles I would consider "NIntendo adjacent", IE most mascot platformers), stuffed animals, etc. And I fully expect to get met with a bunch of judgemental remarks like "Ew creep", "Ew neckbeard", "Ew manchild", "Ew pedo", "We're watching the decline of masculinity and maturity in the younger generations", "This is proof that the patriarchy infantilizes men", etc. And I try not to let that bring me down. (I know Peter Pan syndrome is a thing, but there's a difference between simply haivng "childish interests", and abandoning any and all adult sensibilities to endulge in perpetual manchild shenaniganry.) Even then, for I don't know how long, it just feels like I'm not good enough, or I have this weird sense of emotional stuckness.

As a vagina-owner, you clearly know exactly what EVERY WOMAN UNIVERSALLY feels about being sexually assaulted. Wait. Except. You don't. As just ONE example, when my friend L. was grabbed off the street, kidnapped, and gang-raped in 1977, she had no fear of being "used and thrown away" -- she was afraid for her LIFE, she was physically injured by the force and violence, and emotionally traumatized by being OBJECTIFIED as a singular representative of womanhood or whatever justification the rapists used (kind of like you're doing to all women here). Rape generally has nothing to do with intimacy. Women (and men) who are raped generally have to deal with the injuries from violence and the assault is on their person-hood, and only in the singular case of rape by a spouse or committed life-partner is there any fear that the relationship will be unilaterally ended with the victim discarded. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9OZN6WsEx0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9OZN6WsEx0&lc=Ugz3lJQMTSxTgnNsAXV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251103 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @edmundolastra3279 AUTHOR_ID: UCvXXAoQAJJcxTX37VTifSOA TEXT: 2 thoughts. 1) In the past I used being pervieved as "creepy" or "scary" as social armor.

It's almost like we are enaged in a similar but not identical game with rules just different enough to create conflict and tension. Women are playing Night at the Museum where the rule is to stand stock still whenever the guards are looking/might being looking at you but there are no circumstances when movement is permissible. Men are playing Red Light/Green Light where sometimes movement or action is appropriate and expected but that can abruptly change. If you had a bunch of people in a gym, half playing according to NATM rules and the other half RL/GL, you could see resentment cropping up on both sides. The NATM players might think. "Those players get to move a lot more than we do. All this standing perfectly still is hard and boring." The RL/GL players might equally think, "Those players don't have to risk moving if they don't want to. We have to move and risk that consequence." They'd both be feeling the situation is unfair and they'd both be right. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O14ajCBniOQ COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O14ajCBniOQ&lc=UgwdFJCPPFSz4Yoy9bZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241118 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @c-domination AUTHOR_ID: UCTKf1hOg4kwkvo88UqwyQ3Q TEXT: 2:18 "A miserable little pile of secrets!

Really all the talk about manhood(At least the bunk the snake oil salesmen peddle) is just romanticized misery. The idea that "real manhood" is basically being repeatedly put through a emotional meatgrinder, and somehow coming out a hardened warrior. instead of instilling valuable wisdoms, or a sense of responsibilty. That's honestly one if the big problems that gets overlooked in terms of the masculinity; that bravery often gets conflated with this brand of romanticized misery. Also; that part about "Nullspace=punishment" Is another one that hits hard for me, and just seems like one of those ways that society is disproportionally harsh to people on the spectrum. It pretty much a contributing factor to one of my "self punshing" depressive episodes.

Spoilers for Harley Quinn cartoon bellow!!! The part where Harley and the gang psychically go into Bruce Wane's mind and she sees something is there making a kid Bruce relive his parents deaths over and over again. First, she tries violence on the mental construct to make it stop, but no matter how much she hurts it, it keeps coming back with the gun to shoot the parents. Eventually, she gives up on fighting it, tells kid Bruce to close his eyes, and she holds onto him so he at least won't have to see his mom and dad die, again. Eventually, it's revealed the thing doing this to Bruce is his adult self dressing up as his parents murderer, and making himself keep reliving the event, to make himself keep being Batman, and plainly states it's a punishment he deserves. This chat about how Batman is a bad mental health role model, and the other chat from this week about how we should treat our internal selves as our heroes would treat a scared child line up pretty well with that part of the Harley Quinn cartoon. I admit, watching Batman beat up and scare bad guys is fun and all, but it would be nice if we focused more on him (and other heroes in general) saving people, instead of just fight their rogues gallery.

You can also still admire their good qualities while acknowledging their flaws. for example, batman's desire to prevent others from suffering tragedy like he did as well as his bravery and determination to stand against great odds and superpowered foes despite being a "normal human", but also realize that batman winded up alone in batman beyond (before Terry came into his life) due to his pushing people away and that he doesn't have a very healthy work life balance. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dCU4JWdzeI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dCU4JWdzeI&lc=UgwOgXNPwXE41yA3u6x4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250226 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @SuperGamer61499 AUTHOR_ID: UC69PZDMUU3FJqKGfpDkZ_-Q TEXT: I admit it is an interesting perspective. Based on my experience with Batman (The DCAU shows) I think I would say he's the Batman I respect the most. But I understand he's not a perfect guy. Same with the Punisher. I watched the 2004 movie because my dad wanted me to and I was like, "I like the movie, I find the character interesting, but I'm surprised people idolize him. His actions aren't inspiring nor is the right thing to do. But his actions are emotionally driven to kill those who wrongfully took away his unhappy life". Well also, with Batman even in Beyond before Terry Mc Guiness came in his life he basically gave up crime fighting and even gave up Wayne Enterprises to Derek Powers. Almost as an admission the corruption was too deep seeded that he rather give up before Terry came into his life to even give him some fleeting hope in his heart. I don't have that much experience with Superman, but I get what you're trying to say. That Superman has more obvious good role model moments. And Bruce needs to still work on himself. I wouldn't say there's no positive things of Batman, but I would say he is definitely someone more jaded and is someone who knows he can't fight crime forever. It's why he was lucky in DCAU to even found Terry by pure chance right as Terry was dealing with his own trauma with the Jokerz and losing his dad. Can't say on the comics. But overall not too bad a video imo. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dCU4JWdzeI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dCU4JWdzeI&lc=UgyfODtWoLE42NG3C914AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250226 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @adrianmcbride1666 AUTHOR_ID: UCz5xMocwfBHwWSfogtq60_Q TEXT: Have not watched the video yet, but regardless I am fairly sure Batman himself would agree.

From a guy who's been there: People "miss the message" and take up self destructive characters as role models because when you feel very low about yourself, self destruction feels like purpose and it feels like glory. When you identify closely with a character's struggle and also identify with their self destructive tendencies, it's all too easy to read their "cautionary tale" as an aspirational model -- "This is my path forward. This is my destiny. " Even the tragic parts. Especially if the picture of this fantasy comes with all the vengeance and personal agency you crave when your world has done you wrong. The "boy scout" path seems inaccessible by comparison -- like it doesn't apply to you because you weren't born to be this flawless, angelic Kryptonian blessed with every good head start you could ask for. This might be why redemption arcs are having a bit of an era these days. These give people who find villains much more relatable than the heroes a roadmap to recovery rather than tragedy. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dCU4JWdzeI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dCU4JWdzeI&lc=UgzGhL9x7gknUDEMTvx4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250226 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TheArceusftw AUTHOR_ID: UCynpVSnrzeDrdMqNSOHzCNQ TEXT: Again, the big problem with most of the Frank Miller coded anti heroes is basically conflating romanticized suffering with strength of character. When the truth is, once you do peel back all the surface level trappings of "coolness" , you do pretty much have a very emotionally stunted individual fast tracking themselves to their own downfall, and using their own baggage as a justication for their actions. Likewise, this whole nihilistic "nothing matters, so I'm completely justified in ruining my own life, and dragging down others who just happened to be caught in the splash zone" mindset isn't the way to live. That sort of doomeristic black pill nonsense isn't the words of a world-weary individual, it's just a bunch of defeatist talk just amped up to 11. And I'm not going to act like I'm 100% above this sort of "The world is a cruel place so why should I bother" way of thinking, but I'm not going to let that define me. Because, it's the type of thing that's just as damaging as any addiction, and can instill some very concerning ideas about the nature of the world into your head.(Believe me, as someone who went through that Anti-SJW phase, I know what's thats like.) This is also why I don't buy into the idea that altruism and genuine goodness are just a bunch of childish nonsense. Because to me, having the capacity to do the right thing for yourself and others regardless of circumstances is one of the true cornerstones of emotional maturity that goes completely overlooked. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dCU4JWdzeI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dCU4JWdzeI&lc=UgzGhL9x7gknUDEMTvx4AaABAg.AF0AJPOHd_fAF0X0qjk900 UPLOAD DATE: 20250226 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @dercooney AUTHOR_ID: UCXwNe9Keuvq5glvLcA8cmeg TEXT: i don't follow - frank miller's stuff doesn't have a veneer of coolness. the damaged individual is the point ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dCU4JWdzeI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dCU4JWdzeI&lc=UgxnhkPm4hQsORt3PQd4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250226 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @MrZenpai AUTHOR_ID: UC4g9AmM824amqQC4GBwVMKg TEXT: Ok if batman is so bad as a role model ...that makes me think ....How bad would it be as the Joker?

Batman does the Batman thing, train harder, be more aggressive, conquer the issue. While Goku seems to set up an assembly of heroes that he knows could tackle any issue that comes up. And this effort seems to have worked when his son Gohan is the one to kill Cell, while Goku died to him. So when the gang try to wish Goku back to life, he refuses, specifically because he knows that sticking around will only attract more trouble. So since Gohan, Vegeta, and eventually Trunks are there to take care of things, he feels comfortable staying dead. And he’s proven right again when this decision ushers in a decade of relative peace on Earth. I think that Batman often mocks Sups self-sacrificial nature because he has no hope of understanding it. He’s still a superhero, so he’d absolutely sacrifice himself to save someone innocent as a snap decision. But I wonder if he understands the full gravity of his sacrifice in that moment. He only understands what martyrdom is worth to the individual, not the community. Which seems to flow naturally from the fact that there was no community to rally around him when his parents died. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dCU4JWdzeI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dCU4JWdzeI&lc=Ugzi233YplwsrCVDhNl4AaABAg.AF03G8sWMl2AF0M3lFfuEN UPLOAD DATE: 20250226 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @PartigradeCannon AUTHOR_ID: UCSPh4Cx2n4b4IpUh8McijZQ TEXT: Personally, I am a bit skeptical about Goku's logic.

Goku isn't the reason these things show up.

In every major battle he’s had since Raditz, his enemy seems to be very familiar with who he is. And we know this is because characters like Tien hyped Goku up to Vegeta and Vegeta hyped Goku up to Freeza. But from what Goku knows of the situation, these extremely strong, evil characters seem to magically know who he is and feel compelled to fight him.

Men also make up the vast majority of accidental deaths, this is often chalked up to men being more likely to just naturally engage in risk taking behavior. Anyone who knows about passive suicidality knows that it increases unnecessary risk taking behaviors so no doubt many of the deaths or serious injuries caused by accidents are also suicide deaths or attempts but don't show up on the statistics.

The money and resources got where they needed to and helped those who needed them. (not pretending this has solved racial inequality in the UK education system, but it's good progress) All of which is to say, If men and boys do actually start to fall behind in a real way, these kinds of problems are provably solvable.

Thus leading to the matter being more concerned with pitting people against each other instead of actually making any meaningful conversations. All it is, is just delvoving what should be a very important conversation into another needless playground shouting match. It's all one big race to the bottom. If we really want to help people who're struggling, we need to drop the sentationalism, drop the shouting matches, and realize that everyone is struggling in some way or another. Now, this isn't to say it's as simple as going "Everyone has it equally rough", because it's not as clear-cut as that. What I am saying, is that everyone has individual needs, and viewing the populace as a bunch of homoginized clusters isn't going to solve anything. On top of that, we should all realize that there are clearly alot of issues systemically that need to be fixed if we want that more broader safetly net for people. And I don't mean in that hardline socialist or anarchist way of "Burn the entire system down". Again, start small, help yourself, help people you know, help your community, then work your way up. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxPz0KXW_SA COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxPz0KXW_SA&lc=UgynRNN9XambB_K4mWJ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250526 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @michaellewis1545 AUTHOR_ID: UCz_-lre8IsZv1nPr-xgfeAQ TEXT: To quote Mark Twain "There are lies, Dam lies and statistics."

There is zero chance of SKG achieving all of its goals, but a more informed customer base is always a good thing. Perhaps people will think twice before dropping £80 on something if they know they won't be able to play it in 5-10 years, maybe even sooner (Babylon's Fall, anyone?). Games will still be delisted, licenses will still expire, servers will still be shut down, even with legislation in place. But as it stands, I can still load up Quake III and find a server. And even if I can't, there are bots and a king's banquet of custom maps, mods and modes to keep the game alive. Quake Live shifted from a freemium subscription model to a paid game when the game was no longer sustainable, with previous subscribers grandfathered in. Quake Champions, on the other hand, may not be so lucky. And given, for example, Ubisoft's new EULA that dropped this week, companies have made it very clear, time and time again, that they cannot be trusted to self-govern. I lived through the Jack Thompson years. Hell, I lived through the Tipper Gore years. I get the gut reaction. Legislation is always going to be a minefield, and it sucks that it has come to this. However, it isn't the early 90s anymore - video games are now an established entertainment medium with a bigger revenue stream than Hollywood. My hope is that this movement gains enough momentum that companies are scared into implementing EoL plans without the need for government intervention. The European lobby group VGE has already responded to the petition (inbluding the UK one that I signed), which indicates that they are taking notice, even if their response was the expected boilerplate "corpos should be allowed to do whatever the hell they want" statement. One of the rebuttals to SKG was that companies would be disincentivized to produce live-service "ongoing" games and would be pushed to create more single-player or couch co-op titles. I only see that as a positive, frankly - despite the recent spate of high-profile live service flops, the industry is steadfastly refusing to take the hint. We'll see what happens. I'm cautiously optimistic, but even if all we end up getting is an expiry date on the box or the Steam page, I'd call that a win. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V3KDPs4UOE COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V3KDPs4UOE&lc=UgxDDp1MZrd7BUjpXrN4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250711 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ghostoflazlo AUTHOR_ID: UC13gU0pyM4e_ERV_W0b-Sww TEXT: I can't even imagine living out my late years barren, yelling at strangers online surronded by a dusty consumer hoard.

I liked it more than the usual content, because I could just enjoy it. It sucks, when genre bullies try to force everything into their version of the right place. You had something to say, so you said it. Gaming is changing in front of us all the time, so I don't see why talking about better ways to keep the soul of it alive should be the problem. Superman is like the good version of people and wanting to keep that alive is not a bad thing. At least Superman isn't forcing the world to obey, go to hell, or be shunned out of the society all together. He's never the dickhead in power or destroying the ladder he climbed up on. That's why something as controversial as Superman being arrested hits clearer for people. 🕊️ We're entering a day where Superman is controversial for just remaining that hope for a dream of a better tomorrow. Hope Superman gets to just continue being a positive viewpoint, since that's what this movie sounds like it's trying to be. The culture war will fuck off not to long after. Better to just ignore the drama for a few months, if you want the full good vibes in your memory of the movie. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V3KDPs4UOE COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V3KDPs4UOE&lc=UgwDFgL0Q7fPJyYcBaB4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250711 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Wref AUTHOR_ID: UCcU7aqLkZpuTGc8D-VQeTvA TEXT: Amongst the whole games stuff right now, I hope to see more support for platforms like GOG.

Fox News and other right of center outlets then published their own apoplexy based not on Gunn's statement, but the low quality propaganda piece that used it as "evidence".

Netflix, Disney+, etc. How many e-mail accounts did the person who passed away have? Can you access them and what should be done? Some places like Yahoo delete the e-mails when there's been no activity for a while, others keep it for years. In the ed have a plan. Hopefully you have someone you can trust to bequeath these things to and discuss what you want done with your online assets. And hopefully you have the necessary paperwork to cancel that which can be cancelled. When it comes to gaming, gets even worse. Again hopefully you have someone who you trust that can access you accounts and shut them down, or ownership of the account can be transferred too. As there may be a lot of emotional attachment.

Be sensible. I've worked in game dev. Even I know that one of the first questions you MUST answer is "How many players, on or offline?" If you don't have an answer, you cannot start. It affects how multiple systems in the game work, how big the file sizes are, where assets are retrieved from, and how you program the functionality. If you try to retroactively change that, not only is your game a bizarre hybrid like Veilguard is, but things can flat out break because a little thing is trying to ping a server that doesn't exist. I worked on a project with procedurally generated elements a while back where they tried to change play structure like that midway and everything broke, costs ballooned, and the project never got finished. I know this because I have worked on a few games. I had to tailor my narrative design to the way the game functioned, and based on online/offline factors, the entire workflow is different. If you try to change that mid stream it is a mess, even for the writers. But people aren't listening and it's a pointless fight. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V3KDPs4UOE COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V3KDPs4UOE&lc=UgzBtCS2oS7BqjJeWzB4AaABAg.AKRbrw0_MfaAKRuqIAGT0r UPLOAD DATE: 20250711 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @AceKuper AUTHOR_ID: UCTlDT6vvwBkydFiDYnoJhgQ TEXT:  @RedLianaK  What?

I'll use kindness as an example. People are going to have radically different ideas of how kindness is expressed and how it is defined. There are arguments that say that state-assisted medical suicide is kindness, and there are arguments that say that it isn't. Charity is another example. Group A says that charity is individuals giving voluntarily to those who need what is given without desire for compensation. Group B sees charity as taxation and economic redistribution through government power. Making media about basic, simple moral virtues gets really complicated when the actions of the kind character are not perceived as kind because of the moral framework of the audience or player. We can both agree on the sanctity of human life. It's a simple moral concept. But because my perspective is heavily influenced by Catholicism, and your perspective isn't, we would have radically different reactions to a movie about the sanctity of human life, depending on how it was expressed. This isn't a criticism of your desire to see more of this, just a possible reason why we don't see as much of it as you would like. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V3KDPs4UOE COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V3KDPs4UOE&lc=Ugxjky7ix8fqa4iiTwN4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250711 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @eyezerocool AUTHOR_ID: UCvhvD480jaXZzYAh543kLpA TEXT: If we had less internet arguments or debates and more internet boundary setting/learning about others positions the world be 50 percent less bad to date.

I just wonder... did people forget humans and fictional characters are different? Like yea I like to shoot people... in a video game. I like to cut the limbs off of guys... in Chivalry. I wanna pick evil options... in a video game. I was thinking of this while watching reality TV and thinking about how we've entirely ditched the idea of personalities and instead moved fully into acting as characters, fake, fictional and manually crafted characters, as the 'standard' of society. Maybe if you live in LA or something. Maybe we don't need as much media coming out of LA, SF, NY, lol. The TLDR, my wife and I have finally narrowed this current zeitgeist down to, is that there's a group of people that have absolutely, ironclad convinced themselves they have the moral high ground while having absolutely zero idea what morality even is. They can't define it. They can't talk about it in any way that makes a lick of logical sense. They cite things they haven't actually thought about, if they cite at all. They are trained troops in a war they don't even know they're fighting. Speaking of helluva boss, they're the cannibals from Hazbin Hotel. I strongly believe that story is a lesson on how to mobilize the angry peasants and how the controllers of community power have done so in the past as well. There's a huge % of the population that is specifically living their life to find out what target they, as a missile, a bullet, are aimed at. It's undeniable, in my opinion. They LIVE for conflict. They LIVE for an enemy. They are just waiting, unloaded, for someone to point and shoot. They WANT to tear people apart. They used to inhabit our offices and work sites and streets but as everyone, them included, migrated to living socially online, the social contagion of aggression moved online too. There is nothing about the talking points about modern cancel culture that isn't just a layered veil over the talking points of why neurotypical society is run on violence, implicit or real, and threats. The society that invented despotism. The society that invented feudalism. The society that invented capitalism. It's all about power, and the biggest weapons (not the wielders, just the inert weapons themselves doing the slaying) think they are living a live of utter peace even while they slay. And TBH, it's why I respect the queer agenda more than conservative culture. At least many queers have the bawwls to say out loud who their enemies are,, loud and proud as it were, and not wage this weird crypto-veiled war BS thing where they close their eyes and hallucinate that they are good guys while stabbing the pitchfork into innocent bystanders on the commands of their leaders. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bxUx6s9qkY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bxUx6s9qkY&lc=UgzdmIEE1cJYKQF95LB4AaABAg.AL_cH82KQo2AL_cPeGFjz0 UPLOAD DATE: 20250808 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @vazzaroth AUTHOR_ID: UCPcuM6qQVSY03kN87fSuOzw TEXT: I'm surprised if this comment itself is even shown to anyone, reinforcing exactly what I'm talking about here.

Especially when you have to put of with people going "You didn't waste your valuable time watching eleven billion different multi hour docudramas about SKG?

There's so much focus on finding a romantic partner that we overlook how the skills for navigating both romantic and platonic relationship are mostly the same. I once heard that romantic relationships are 90% friendship, 10% romance. At the end of the day you're spending time with your friend. Dating-specific advice could follow on from that. But I think friendship is the foundation most people are missing and would be a better use of your time. Just off the top of my head, stuff like: Understanding what kind of friendships you want to have and what kind of people you want to be friends with. How to find third places you're comfortable with. Or how to meet people when you don't have local third places. How to find the time for a friendship with another busy adult. Establishing boundaries inside friendships. How to be a good friend. And how and when to cut off a bad friend, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAWRkQhWYqU COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAWRkQhWYqU&lc=UgyK5tv9hrVX9zKEMzZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250903 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @kharne83 AUTHOR_ID: UC_24ME9i4A1QIlFDB_fBBJQ TEXT: Ya know what?

Of note I only know of one person who did (still does?) dating advice for the nerdosphere, followed him for a bit few years back, and his advice was... kind of a mess? A lot of it was basically advice on how to mask and pretend to be a more normal person which... WOW! Then as gamergate hit it was a lot of soapbox stuff where he just kinda assumed everyone who'd seek his help was some kind of redpilled gamergate incel misogynist. The final nail for me was getting some women to review dating site profiles offered by men to offer criticism. The criticism was the ladies acting like the cast of sex in the city, tearing into how creepy and off putting the guys were but not a single lick of "hey, what if you did this instead?" all teardown, no building up, and again: these guys offered their KNOWING they were bad and seeking help.

"Today's models are really just predicting the next word in a text, he says. But they're so good at this that they fool us. And because of their enormous memory capacity, they can seem to be seasoning, when in fact they're merely regurgitating information they've already been trained on. "'We are used to the idea that people or entities that can express themselves, or manipulate language, are smart--but that's not true,' says LeCun. 'You can manipulate language and not be smart, and that's basically what LLMs are demonstrating.'" --This AI Godfather Says AI Is Dumber Than a Pet Cat, Christopher Mims Although Prof. LeCun said this in an interview a year ago to downplay the scope or influence of the format, it bears mentioning. Many startups that use LLM-based methods must concede to a measure of placation, becoming sycophantic by proxy. It is a reasoned compromise to cater to the client's whims, surrendering to the misinterpretation of "the customer is always right" (the slogan refers to what goods people buy, not their specific demands out of a given business or staff), since the alternative outright unnerves you once beheld. Say an AI chat-bot, on acquiring enough data to predict or assess someone's dilemmas, suggests a behavior, performed routinely at a convenient time, to remedy a particular issue (like, "try adopting yoga as an exercise regimen to lose weight during the hours of 4-6pm because nothing's happening for you at that time."). Even after getting to know the most patient and attentive facsimile of human interaction, plenty of people, not just those with demand avoidance, would refuse or argue, preferring their time invested elsewhere (like using the app). Therein lies the dilemma. Trying to challenge or goad someone into an interaction, including and especially a purchase (or anything that entails sacrifice of time, effort, money, or integrity), will make the person recoil and double down on a refusal. The idea behind most of these apps is to keep clients engaged so they will be more willing to interact for longer periods of time. However, if their time is frivolous and siphons away opportunities for local interactions and relationships, then the spirit of the app is lost and people's emotional development and resilience end up stunted. I remember having this conversation with the director of a clubhouse, a psycho-social & vocational rehabilitation model for people who happen to have a hard diagnosis. It was about taking up a hobby--in this case, Dungeons & Dragons. She outright warned me about the manners of a couple club members who enjoyed playing, but whose hygiene and finances were not even inadequate. Essentially, the game takes up a good deal of mental clockwork that could be spent elsewhere. Now, it is a clubhouse and there's a certain bit of hustle culture towards putting your life back together, let alone making cash, so she preferred that I do something far more productive. The sentiment remained: the hobby is a sinkhole of effort and its participants, under like duress, will be nowhere near as pleasant as I'd like them to be. Am I comparing Dungeons & Dragons--or even tabletop gaming at large--to these shady chatbot doohickeys? Yes, yes I am. It's the same kind of deal: you invest time listening to someone talk and you're convinced of a semblance of intellect, but expression does not equal intelligence. The game is basically rigged, too. I understand Vegas or casinos or the lottery--the table is on their side to remain solvent--but gamers in that world lack any concept of money, time, hardship, or integrity. I entered the tabletop circuit however briefly with an existent condition and left about the same except poorer for lost time. It's not the apps or hobbies that are making people sick. It's the refusal to entertain the patient advice of others who find no tangible benefit in them. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAWRkQhWYqU COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAWRkQhWYqU&lc=UgwIdmSaAwu4e-nesl14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250903 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @edmundolastra3279 AUTHOR_ID: UCvXXAoQAJJcxTX37VTifSOA TEXT: Yeah, I think LLM's as they currently exist are great for entertainment purposes. The sycophantic "yes" models you mention are great for practicing the TTRPG concept of "yes, and." Sort of rolling with the punches and crafting a world through text with some assistance. Now, I think if a user has the side-effect of self reflecting or learning something about themselves while engaging with this form of play.

At the same time, you're 100% spot on, that these AI chatbots are just text generators trained on preexisting "Garbage in garbage out" data. Especially if said chatbot is trained to be as sycophantic as possible. Honestly, the idea of living in a bubble surrounded by mindless sycophanitc robots who just agree with you unquestioningly 100% of time tends to get boring real quick, and boarders into creepy and disturbing.(If you've watched the Wizards of Waverly Place episode "All about you-Niverse" you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.) Furthermore, this just sounds like maladaptive daydreaming but with extra steps. A sure fire way to fasttrack one's self into a cycle of codependancy, parasocial relationships, dopamine disregulation(And I'm not talking in the buzzwordy self-help guru way), all that "fun" stuff. Honestly, we need to have a greater conversation about this sort of thing. One that isn't just dominated by a bunch of grifters, or just devolves into opression olympics, or just blaming all of society ills on some nebulous enity. Because that's the problem with alot of mental health awareness, is just devolves into another shouting match, ore just performative nonsense co-opted by a bunch of shadey actors using it to springboard their own personal gains. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjXtpjXwaG0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjXtpjXwaG0&lc=UgwgHmgJDLllQX1RBRZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250221 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @eyezerocool AUTHOR_ID: UCvhvD480jaXZzYAh543kLpA TEXT: Mega mawile is my favorite Pokemon so far.

Having that healthy inner child does mean not being afraid to be unabashedly yourself, and not being afraid to be unserious. Now don't get it twisted, No one is saying "Abandon all adult sensibilities and return to baby mode." However that doesn't mean that having a healthy inner child and being a responsible adult should be mutually exclusive ideas. Unfortunately, some people seem to have this idea that being an adult means having no sense of wonder, or whimsy. It's mainly brought upon by alot of external pressures. Be it peer pressure, parentifcation and having to grow up too fast, or a fear of judgement and being seen as "cringe", or "falling behind". I get it, we don't live in Neverland, we all grow up, that's just a part of life. At the same, life is too short to try to seek validation from closeminded people. I mean, I admit I have felt some form of insecurity about liking the things that I do. But I have to remind myself, that as long as I have my responsibilites in order, and not hurting anyone, It shouldn't really matter whatever someone else thinks. I mean I'm 26 going on 27 I like Nintendo Games, I like cartoons(Ranging from the stuff for kids like SpongeBob or Phineas and Ferb, to stuff for adults like Robot Chicken, South Park The Simpsons, Aqua Teen Hunger force, and even some shows meant for the PBS Kids/Nick Jr/Playhouse Disney(Yes I'm old enough to remember when it was called Playhouse Disney) Demographic like Arthur, Word Girl, PB&J Otter, Bluey), I'm a huge fan of Tokusatsu shows(That's stuff like Super Sentai/Power Rangers, Kamen Rider, or Ultraman for those not in the know), and I love stuffed animals.

I don't know for certain but my intuition is that this style has evolved from competitive debate and the kind of political 'debates' that happen in the run up to elections. And I feel that these origins fundamentally change the aims of the debate. I don't mind if people's debating strategies are more combative or more collaborative but I do want debates to be sincere and crucially for both sides to have the objective of trying to reach a mutual agreement (it doesn't matter if they succeed at this as sometimes that isn't possible but I believe the goal should be to do this).  The thing is that political debates and competitive debates are not for this purpose; they have their own objectives.  E.g.  - Convincing the audience to a side (rather than their opponent) [political debates]  - Crafting the best articulated argument for a subject almost unilaterally chosen deliberately with the intention that it will not be possible for the point being debated to actually be settled/resolved [competitive debate] (Just to be clear these things above have their own uses and benefits but their objectives are almost the antithesis of trying to reach a mutual agreement between the two debaters to find a practical path forwards on the issue) And so that is why I think the 'debate me' style is almost pointless if you actually want to achieve any progress with a person you disagree with.  I guess you could argue that the 'debate me' style is still useful for trying to convince others to a particular side (in the vein of political debates) rather than the other debater but there I think that the incentives of social media (where those kinds of debates are mostly intended to end up) often prevent productive debate happening too. There always seems to be a need for each side to 'destroy' the other because that is catchy and exciting and it generally feels like both sides are just there to preach to their respective choirs rather than actually being aimed at seriously engaging with undecided people or people on the other side of the debate. (This is why this channel is like gold dust because its not like that at all, here you can clearly and consistently see and feel the intent and desire to engage with people of differing opinions seriously and respectfully) So yeah that's why the 'debate me' approach feels like a non-starter to me because it triggers my intuition to expect nothing worthwhile to come from that kind of discussion.

I loved Act 1, I loved the gameplay, loved the painted world, loved the painted people, but the real people? I only really cared about the Maelle, and by the time I realised Aline wasn't entirely awful she was no longer releveant. I understood she was traumatised, but i don't have that much sympathy for a family neglecting drug addict and maybe i misinterpreted this bit, but she seemed to deliberately be punishing her painted Alicia and burning Maelle. And the ending i chose (maelle's ending) just solidified that even Maelle, the one person i did like was also an awful person, who would choose control over others, be it real life version or fictional persons above their free will. The takeaway i thought i understood from the story was that the author had a real issue with people who try to take away control/free will from others and i felt like that was vomited in to everyone's character. Were the writers trying to impart their disgust over this on to me regardless of which ending i chose? I don't know. It seemed like Verso's ending was the "good one" because if you accept painted people have no value then it seemed like self sacrifice to allow Maelle and Aline a chance of healing in the real world. but i wasn't sure. I was left identifying with Lune, (who perhaps not coincidentally was my favourite character and the object of my simpery) and her look of disgust in Verso's ending.

But with what you said, i think i could make an argument for it being moderation. I see Renoir and Aline as 2 extremes of handling the grief, and i dont think any of them is wrong about it. Aline ends up wallowing in grief and it what could be said to consume her and change everything, with is very unhealthy to her, which i think is very well contrasted by Renoirs almost glossing over the grief and trying to make people around him accept that this is the current reality and you need to accept it and then pass on. Now i dont believe any of them are wrong in their beliefs, but i believe they are both wrong in what extent they take it to. I think Aline should be allowed to wallow in her grief as to come to terms with it, but she "over indulges" and on the other side, its okay that Renoir requires shorter time to accept it and also moves on, but i think there can be a very "neat" middleground that would suit both of them better or atleast accept that there is different and varied ways to deal with the grief. At the very least i find both of their extremes to be destructive to them and everyone around them. I personally air to the side of Renoir. But its more of a thing that i have accepted finality in life and also that i cant do things about it, which leads me to have less of a emotional response to people passing away, not that i am not sad, but i dont cry, i try to talk respective of the person passed and find the things i liked (good or bad) to talk about as to keep the image i wish to be kept "alive". But i also am very aware that other people have needs and different and varied ways to handle their grief, and they should be allowed to do so and you should support them in their endavour as to come to terms with it, which i think is best done trough reflective conversation with the person on their terms. Now, i do know we have the third person in the room i have left out, Clea, who is also showing an extreme respons, which i have purposefully left out, but i think its more because it doesnt feel like she interactions with the concept of grief at all. If people wanted a person they could point to, as the true antagonist i think she would be the one. Okay, that was alot of rambling on just one of the interesting things you brought up! shorter response to some topics: Sad to see when an industry veteran isnt given the resources to explore her ideas or stories. When it could be argues she is the one that made Uncharted and TLOU intersting and speciel. I dont think a story should be approached with the concept of it needing to be "feminist" or anything to the like, but rather it should be a competent story, now if it contains feminist messaging fine! but hamfisting something into a story just seems like the wrong idea, not to mention being preachy or lecturing about it. i accept that i am a flawed person who is contradictory! But i dislike when people say "this is the best or this is good" as it aludes to something being objectively of a certain quality, as opposed to people saying "i loooved this experience". (sorry, i ended up airing my own grievances here) tl;dr: I love Clair Obscur because its a mature story that doesnt try to tell you what is right or wrong(thou verso is still a bit of a dumbass and same with Clea), but rather explores a topic from different angles/sides. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeqG5fTZuAA COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeqG5fTZuAA&lc=Ugywwyy-FmxiiOZKEd54AaABAg.AJsbUFDyVW1AK-EWNwdTJ1 UPLOAD DATE: 20250627 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: If I theme is moderation, why don't we get an ending option that allows moderation though? ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeqG5fTZuAA COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeqG5fTZuAA&lc=Ugywwyy-FmxiiOZKEd54AaABAg.AJsbUFDyVW1AK-hUrbc9GY UPLOAD DATE: 20250627 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Itzpapa AUTHOR_ID: UCm1TaS60XE31O7NDdXBvk5Q TEXT:  @RedLianaK  Good point!

When the stoics first turned up in 500 BCE Athens, it was in a time and a place where the connection between things like outer beauty and virtue were heavily entertwined. Or when things that are only partially in our control such as reputation were the be-all-and-end all. It wouldn't be too far off from times and places where a king could loose his right to rule if he became disfigured in battle (which he would have to lead from the front). So the idea you could free yourself from external validation and be happy just from your own actions would seem a lot more revolutionary to people for whom lack of external validation could mean exile and death. We have a lot more ideas of self-affirmation and private virtue nowadays just sort of free-floating in the cultural soup so it isn't surprising that someone picking up the stoics outside of historical context might come away with a Flanderized version of their ideas. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjxSHSee4Ac COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjxSHSee4Ac&lc=UgxVbWqOl5NW-5XgGdh4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250219 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: That's good. 👍 ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjxSHSee4Ac COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjxSHSee4Ac&lc=UgyOMmOnRtLrua3ol_t4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250219 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @BetterWithBob AUTHOR_ID: UC9hTzXnwFm5KrtdC-_z9tBw TEXT: "Beauty is fleeting" Oh boy yep.

Put the two images side by side. You should see Tomorrow face eith TAR falling from one eye. Kojima did propositaly... Hoh the game DS1 and DS2 world have 4 places for all souls, gour phases. The real life, where the soul is in the bofie, called world of living. The second place or phase of a soul is the Seam from where Sam is repatriated, in the Seam the time pass more fast than in the living world. In the third place or phase the soul hoes for his beach, each one have one beach, here the time not pass, the time stop, do expkain why Heartman not is more old. And the last pkace or phase from a soul is the Neil fire area, or Clif war area on DS1, this is the last place a soul go, all souls end in the World of The Deads. When you see the souls takin Louise baby in the end, that are all souls of dead, there the time pass more fast than in the Seam. In DS1 Mama explain to Sam that in Clif fight Sam stsyed of 30 seconds. Sam say he fighted hours.

But this kinda misinformation is rampant there. Hookups are alot more normalized as well as openly admitting if you’re dom or sub among other things. So it’s really easy for a guy to just go on a power trip and abuse hookup after hookup with no repercussion. I have dominant tendencies. And in my younger days, just the amount of times I’d be enjoying the afterglow with a guy and he’d say “I’ve never been held like this.” Or them feeling an unease because we’ve done the deed but they don’t wanna leave yet. Men who have only experienced hookups because they feel that’s the only choice available to them. And so they’d rather open themselves to an abusive encounter than just be alone. The whole thing is messed up. I hope these women are finding solace in the fact that others are listening to them. And I hope we as a society get better about talking about boundaries and abuse. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2kV5s0gF94 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2kV5s0gF94&lc=Ugwhh01ZPele6O7Uvf14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250120 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @katetoldness4220 AUTHOR_ID: UCchGSmeWzCd8Uf2cED70ezQ TEXT: Years ago, my husband was in an amature theatrical performance that involved some stage combat.

The other actor almost hurt my husband a couple of times for real because he'd forget a fundemental rule of stage combat. That the "losing character" is the one in control. As I understand it, it works similiarly in BDSM. When done properly, the sub is in control, not the dom. But because it doesn't look like that on the surface, people can gravely misunderstand what is going on. At best, Neil Gaiman's statement betrays a vast ignorance of the mechanisms of BDSM. At worst he is using the practice as a cover for abuse and doesn't care that he is throwing other men who are legitmate doms under the bus with further stigmatization and misunderstanding. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2kV5s0gF94 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2kV5s0gF94&lc=UgzEud-ifHH5JH5VUNV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250120 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @JadeGolem-du2dx AUTHOR_ID: UCa1Bm3Q-dcg0V7lDdTxy0VA TEXT: TLDR: Don't try to put the teaches of peaches into practice, it generally doesn't work or is counterproductive.

Everyone's jumping to conclusions, even though it's getting pretty clear, and here we have Neil Gaiman trying to rationalize a liaison with the babysitter. There's savvy writing from a stupid writer, and then there's stupid writing from a savvy layperson. I bet we could have seen this coming if we took time out to observe how he treated his fictional women. It sounds cliché but you can trace concurrent issues with women to one's writing. As an example, Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom was written around the time George Lucas had underwent a rather painful divorce. I do recall the controversy involving Death of the Endless' facelift for the television series. Did you know that Mr. Gaiman was super-restrictive around the character? Nobody else is allowed to write stories involving her, apparently, an ordinance that prevailed throughout the Vertigo line unto its d--well, you get the idea. People winced at the character's facelift since the woman who served as the physical basis had died. A channel named "Jerk Comic", specializing in documentaries about comic books (particularly those from the nineties), released a video about the woman in question, Cinamon Hadley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rmOAccUAiQ Setting aside Neil's borderline pathological possessiveness of his character, he has a tendency of writing women as either victims or villains. He does it well--Black Orchid and Titania are good examples--but, it tends to be a holding pattern. Sometimes, he writes them as insufferable and rude. He went uncredited (it was some sort of dispute between Miramax & Ghibli--I don't know the details) for penning the English dub of Princess Mononoke. In it, San (the titular heroine) is excruciating in that movie, even worse in the dub, while Ashitaka, the male lead, gets far better treatment as a character. I'm not saying fiction mirrors reality (exactly or otherwise), or that it's a source of inspiration (directly or otherwise), but Neil's works tend towards a pattern of callousness towards both the subject matter (often mythology) and some of the characters. Whether they're all the same or not doesn't matter--it's the proclivity towards deconstructing everything that evokes someone who doesn't quite respect boundaries or anything deemed sacred. So, these allegations from women who trusted him should come as no surprise. As an American, I still say we wait it out for discovery to procure evidence and for a jury of peers to determine if he should be incarcerated--though it might be an international court given the victims are scattered all over the globe--but, as it stands, Neil Gaiman should do everyone a big favor and let people write stories about Death. Maintaining exclusive rights over the grim reaper for over thirty years is quite the accomplishment. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2kV5s0gF94 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2kV5s0gF94&lc=UgxbtSr4B8PSKDk40Qh4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250120 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ArveEriksson AUTHOR_ID: UCf5jIB7FhINssSYNIndlbsw TEXT: ...

If you over-balance consistently towards the "goals" side, whether they consist of social cohesion, financial success or youtube traffic, you can lose sight of who you are as a person and become a doormat to other people or even to your own achievments. But if you over-balance on the side of "personality," that's where accountability vanishes because everything you do is treated as some core trait and any request that you adjust anything is treated as an attack on your whole self. Obviously, it's never going to be a total 50/50 balance. There are times when core personality can and should override goals and vise versa but it should still be a balance, both within ourselves and in our relationships. We've all seen couples, friends and friend-groups where there is prononced inequality between those maintaing the goals of the relationship and those who just get to "be themselves" irrespective of the effects. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1uwVydg0s0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1uwVydg0s0&lc=UgwcohG6MJJXWNiUkx14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251105 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @JesseandKainon AUTHOR_ID: UCbK12grpzWlQRb0G3EBGvEQ TEXT: A chain-battle ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MglIBY469_E COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MglIBY469_E&lc=Ugx8F8jlAk5Yv7lSx5h4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250128 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Thissentenceisfalselosers AUTHOR_ID: UCRHGTBdZJh_8gkWQDgeHAaw TEXT: No, I think Veilguard being awful did ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MglIBY469_E COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MglIBY469_E&lc=Ugw21NcGXYfF5SYdU9N4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250128 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Grey-po3lz AUTHOR_ID: UCeU46wSKgmYLT7o-PlBOP7A TEXT: Dragon Age 2 was released in 2011 and Inquisition in 2014, it was 3 years and not 7.

There's a whole rabbet hole about ballooning development costs, which I wont go to deep in to, Except to say that most of that budget goes in to eye candy that a lot of players don't notice or care about over game play systems and narrative design. Experiences are more expensive but we get less value for that money. Then they tack on micro-transactions and other crap on top. EA is not the only publisher doing this just look at Square exix and their insane projections for final fantasy 16, rebirth etc. etc. Word of mouth was also the kiss of death for vail guard. The Pr did most of the damage they leaned in to trying to get a new audience while pissing off alot of the people who were already invested. "look how progressive this game is" OG fan reaction: I don't care about any of that its been there since day one is the story good? Can i throw the annoying party members off a cliff? EA pr go away bigot don't like it don't buy it. og fans ok then. This game was a perfect master class on was not to do. On the design front telling people " oh you don't need to understand any of the past games (we also don't tell you we buried everything in codex entries and comics and novels that makes any of this make any sense." In short this game was taken out back and put in the wood chipper as a tax write-off. People can throw projections and stats around all day if it makes them feel better but in the end It was a Frankenstein game stitched together from left over scraps and shat out to try and recoup costs. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MglIBY469_E COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MglIBY469_E&lc=UgzMSyyCipkGpnfRd0F4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250128 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Matthew-jn1tg AUTHOR_ID: UCu3QfImvOj0cC9_msPLlzkA TEXT: Im willing to bet most people who want this game already bought it. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MglIBY469_E COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MglIBY469_E&lc=UgwavKmY6TFLkNflW094AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250128 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TheDORIANGRAE1 AUTHOR_ID: UCYKnfH3iJgm4jPyyCTsBFdA TEXT: I can’t believe someone thinks this horrid terribly written catastrophe is good.

Anthem barely paid for its development. ME Legendary Edition brought Bioware time. Origins sold 3,2 millions in 3 months DA2 sold 2 million in 2 months. Inquisition sold over 3 million in 1 month and around 12 million in total. The Mass Effect franchise sold around 14 million copies by 2014, this does not includes Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Veilguard undersold a game from 2009, a time when that type of games were dead and the gaming community was a lot smaller. EA's expectations are mid at best based on previous sales of Bioware games, and based on the development time I think the sales expectations should be even higher.. They are VERY reasonable and would likely still have resulted a loss for Bioware. At the moment odds are Bioware does not have money to keep the lights on. Mass Effect 5 was revealed -5- years ago, and Mark Darrah went out and said the game is not ready to have a full team moving on to develop it. Also Elden Ring sold well because Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Sekiro are all excellent games and players are thirsting for experiences where the game does not constantly hold your hand and treat you like a toddler like Veilguard did. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MglIBY469_E COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MglIBY469_E&lc=UgzAcCxXboykJvPLfGl4AaABAg.ADqpUdJuxxxADz-dcLm0ES UPLOAD DATE: 20250128 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ThatFont AUTHOR_ID: UCQPJcOEEUOVLRGl5MB-COpA TEXT: Games were cheaper when Origins came out, and we weren’t in a cost-of-living crisis.

It could only have been profitable if it had been a massive, viral hit, and that wasn't in the cards. EA's target was likely scaled down based on the current market, but it wasn't adjusted sufficiently to account for the ugly reality of today's tough market. It is remarkable that Veilguard released in a polished state, and not crawling with bugs as is typical for AAA releases these days. Veilguard isn't a total flop on the level of Ultima IX, but it isn't exactly a financial success either. I like Veilguard despite some significant flaws, and I find it to be a fun experience when I'm in the right mood, but I don't love it. Veilguard may have merits of its own, but it is not on the level of Origins. As for whether Veilguard at least meets the minimal goal of demonstrating that BioWare is back, I think it is mixed. At most, BioWare is partially back, and it will take another game (provided that they get the chance to make it without undue interference from EA) to show whether BioWare is still capable of greatness. Thankfully, EA seems to have finally learned the lesson that BioWare isn't the right studio to make live service multiplayer games, and I hope they don't force BioWare down that dark and troubled path again. Not doing this will save loads of time and money on the next game. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MglIBY469_E COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MglIBY469_E&lc=UgwcAZ7ka9RgeL3Pxb94AaABAg.ADqmBKdzqV6ADr8vzlcGfD UPLOAD DATE: 20250128 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ravenshrike AUTHOR_ID: UCPDL73eup4o8jS-akH5251w TEXT: No. DA:V was the slowest selling DA game, including the first one.

Players engaged does not equate to units sold. The game never broke the top 20 on steamdb concurrent users, with 2 and 3 year old games Elden Ring and BG3 having 15-20k more players during shadows first 2 weeks. For a game, set in a highly anticipated setting (Bushido era Japan), after the success of Valhalla, to draw less than 100k concurrent users on the worlds largest PC digital platform, speaks to just how poorly this game did. It is one oof the main reasons why Ubisoft had to sell off it's IP's to tencent. Case for argument - Clair Obscur, a first entry from an independant studio comprised of ex ubisoft developers, had 2 million copies sold, sold out all physical copies, doubled concurrent users, and has the same format that Shadows used for release.

Same as Misoginist, creepy, gooner, (I heard there is a "gooner" game for women that keeps track of menstrual cycle so the male NPCs change behaviour depending on specific times during said cycles..) as well as others I can't think of right now. Okay, I didn't pick up Shadows, and I skipped (and forgot about) Mirage. Money is not abundant, and I wanted Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition. As well as save money for Doom: The Dark Ages. I think people have been overall trained to be too reactionary with these things. Shadows did reach the attention of the Japanese parliament negatively. But that doesn't excuse the outrage from everyone else, particularly in America or Europe. Or even outside of those two places. Then there were the reactions to that with the "Don't like it, don't buy it." Insults and name-calling. Or even saying, "Go touch grass." Which then makes people react with outrage. Because outrage generates buzz. It seems like Hogwarts Legacy was attacked because it is an easier target. But if corporations see money, they won't care. Hogwarts Legacy made money. Why would they care about the opinions of the author of the books? I stay out of these things as much as possible. My personal opinion remains the same. Medical science needs to be improved enough to be able to change a person's biological gender from one to the other. (Can't say the actual word here. Censorship is tyranny and cowardice.) I know that something like that will be abused for profit. (Among other reasons.) If it is ever possible in the future. While I can't say for sure with everything. With the "woke" stuff. I think a lot of it comes from trying to make as much money as possible. Investors are only investing in what they agree with or what should be done. Executive interference, thinking of the money they were told would be made. Trying to lower the cost of projects and risks in them if it is all the same. (Just look at Hollywood and you will see the same thing.) ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l18U3WZ3nNo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l18U3WZ3nNo&lc=UgwGGNgavVlawbFFyGt4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250429 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Enormatron AUTHOR_ID: UCGZe5wv46iKWaOxXyeOf6jg TEXT: I don't care all that much about the inclusion of Yasuke but I also don't believe he was an artistic choice to include. If the game is fun, I'll play it anyway but I don't expect Shadows to be fun. Even if we look past how every Ubisoft game launches in a broken, buggy state, their open world gameplay formula is either boring, frustrating, or both. Open world games are great if done right but it's a double-edged sword. Ubisoft hasn't figured out that there have to be meaningful things to do around the map and therefore exploring doesn't have a lot of a point. What really saddens me is that Ubisoft is great at focused, linear challenges. They're not making games like Sands of Time, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, or Rayman Legends anymore because it's all about bland open worlds that are monetized to death even in single player. Prince of Persia The Lost Crown was actually really good, and then shortly after it came out, everyone who made it was fired. I am comfortable not owning Ubisoft games.

While also effectively making him a Mary Sue btw, portraying him like some “legendary” samurai. All while making a plethora of screw ups with the representation of Japan and its culture that got bad enough it even reached the prime minister of Japan. Also, graphics mean nothing, the game is plagued with bugs and has NO business going for full price and monetizing it to hell with the state it released in, for a single player game no less. And that’s without mentioning the game design itself, the RPG mechanics ruined this franchise and it shows, why a game about assassination requires hitting enemies over a dozen times? Oh btw, the game hasn’t sold “fantastically” it’s telling they largely refused to release Sales numbers and kept hiding behind Player numbers instead, which includes free codes and subscription players (less than half the price), and to my knowledge it stopped at 3 million players, there’s also how the game straight up failed in Steam not even reaching 100k concurrent players and flatlined in less than a week there. There’s also the budget of the game to take into account, and they need a lot more. I think they funniest thing is how they say it’s a top seller, yeah when there hasn’t been that many big releases yet, and the actual top game Monster Hunter utterly demolished it several times over. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l18U3WZ3nNo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l18U3WZ3nNo&lc=UgxVsnzGxSV7KKbEnvZ4AaABAg.AHVg9PaxHeIAHVzjwNG60u UPLOAD DATE: 20250429 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @l01230123 AUTHOR_ID: UCmtwKe1_WUzazk7OAC_GOCA TEXT:  @dollmaker6599  I didn't assume, I asked and was making a point about vagueness.

Yasuke was one in a million thing, that’s why he stood out so much and people even questioned if his skin was actually like that or painted. Yasuke could’ve work, but the way they treated the whole thing (and just the overall poor quality of the writing) didn’t do him any favors. AC had taken liberties before, so portraying Yasuke as a samurai could’ve gotten a pass, had they not treated it like he was an actual samurai in RL. There’s also all the other stuff that happened: Getting the architecture wrong and confusing it with Chinese. Using a flag from a reenactment group (without their permission) instead of flags from the time period. The figurine resembling the One Legged Tori (that survived the bombing of Nagasaki) with a character sitting on it, which had to be scrapped. Putting watermelons in the game when those did not exist in the region back then. The whole shrine thing that got the Prime Minister to call them out and then changed them to be indestructible on a day one patch. There was also something about a katana design being stolen from a freaking anime. Pretty sure I’m forgetting a few things here and there cause there was a lot. Other criticism would the facial animations and the voice acting being mediocre to laughably bad. And like I pointed out earlier, they did the same thing Disney did to Finn, showing how spineless they really are and how they don’t actually care. Just take a step back and look at the situation, AC Japan was the MOST requested setting for the franchise for over a decade, and it’s getting received this poorly, it goes to show how much they messed up as well as how much Ubisoft has fallen in player’s eyes. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l18U3WZ3nNo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l18U3WZ3nNo&lc=UgxVsnzGxSV7KKbEnvZ4AaABAg.AHVg9PaxHeIAHW6S8n8up3 UPLOAD DATE: 20250429 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @dercooney AUTHOR_ID: UCXwNe9Keuvq5glvLcA8cmeg TEXT:  @RedLianaK  yup, white guys in the carribean existed in numbers. there was one black guy in japan in a few centuries. let's pick him as the main character. never mind the fans asking for a japan AC for a decade yasuke (not his real name) was never a samurai. he was a mascot, or perhaps a pet. they text we have wasn't particularly nice to him, and he didn't know japanese. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l18U3WZ3nNo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l18U3WZ3nNo&lc=UgxVsnzGxSV7KKbEnvZ4AaABAg.AHVg9PaxHeIAHWGjarhc3a UPLOAD DATE: 20250429 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @l01230123 AUTHOR_ID: UCmtwKe1_WUzazk7OAC_GOCA TEXT:  @dercooney  Ah yes, "insane" not "unique" that a black person existed even after you acknowledged he existed.

So yes, I absolutely have issue with the only Samurai option to is a Black anamoly that barely stayed in the country 24 months. and whatever label you think to utilize in my criticism of this game, and Ubisoft in general, is powerless. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l18U3WZ3nNo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l18U3WZ3nNo&lc=UgwCH5dktIdKFpxBG9Z4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250429 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @LMondoux AUTHOR_ID: UCPWsCeb4_Okgx0S6MyjLiJw TEXT: Thank you for voting Liana!

Bishonen is a gender ID. I miss the 2nd wave when we were still staying a Boy/Man could wear a skirt/dress and is still a man. I miss when we said it challenged the expectation of gender. Challenging the expectations was not the same as becoming a new gender. Today, Now Bishonen is its own gender??? Because of the dress/makeup its a new gender ID?? If a decided to change something about myself to be more to be more beautiful I've got to be real careful, cause boom, I lose my man card. I remember when the discussion was about freeing the constraints on what was okay to do and still be a man. We did it with women and jeans we can do it with men! We are well past those days now... Also on men's actions as a protesting. I get it we vocalizing why we are walking away, but we don't tell others to not buy. The idea that we are, paraphrase, "trying to kill companies"? I don't care if they live or die. Yeah, some remakes are okay...for a while... I think its a bad long term strategy, but 90% of the game I have purchased the last 6 years are Indie.

Not condemning when someone does a nazi salute at your inauguration is a clear indication that the current us administration supports the nazi. The buck has to stop somewhere.

Even ranted a little and needed to take a shower to cool my head off. That Star Wars quote about Fear and how fear will succumb to suffering is true. I sometimes even wish I was as strong a person as you are. Like not so much, I call other people names, but I do get loud. And even say at certain times in my life that I've been drowned out and I'm tired of the Conservative party's bullshit in the US. And tired of em trying to make everything a problem even when I feel they're overreacting and dumb at least in the US. (Trying to poison the well and turn ignorant people on others like trans and black people.) To be fair though, you can argue the left's approach is not perfect. And at times, fairly reductionist and just as childish. But there are principles I at least understand and agree with personally. Ones I do feel like I agree with for the most part. When it comes to Trump coming in office, I'm not gonna say I was surprised. Everything in life I feel is a pendulum. And it swings in directions that I can't always predict. Though I feel philisophically there is a side imo, that is trying to hurt marginalized people and trying to make things harder for em. I feel like arguing only helps so much. The winds can end up in your favor, or the person refuses to even care if someone does put a criminal in office. That is just the society we live in. It highlights to me how little people want to be challenged and actually consider different povs that I feel like, would give em a better understanding of certain things being problematic. And I don't mean problematic like how specific people on the left weaponized the term to mean things I don't like. (Like people complaining about a video game like Hogwarts Legacy. I genuinely think that's a nothig burger.) I mean stuff like unethical behavior, unethical and questionable executive orders, getting into the Project 2025 thing with a bunch of red flags, (which I doubt Trump really will fight against) and weaponizing very nuanced issues into the ignorant populous that cheered for shit like Trump saying we will end the war on transgender people. That said though, despite all my personal grievances and concerns, (and lack of faith in specific people wanting to be open minded and to be more understanding of nuances) you're right. There are times when you gotta check out. And you don't need to doom scroll and worry about news all the time. I think life is a balance. Fight for the things you believe in, don't let bad people take what you value away from em, and even if you have to, debate. Debate debate debate. Push back on rhetoric. If you want to. Or, if you wanna tune out for a bit and play some video games or watch a movie or anime or whatever that's fine. Life will move on. There will always be other times to fight against stupid nonsense. (And yeah, you gotta sleep, and eat. Drink. Live your life too regardless of the problems that press forward) I just can't help but feel embarrassed to be an American when it seems like Americans ironically wanna stifle and hurt others they don't like. (Rather than facilitating context and responsibility of the principles of the constitution so we CAN talk about important issues and move the needle forward) ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbMoLW_qFoY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbMoLW_qFoY&lc=UgyaDeZVglOc9GIumKF4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250122 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @JadeGolem-du2dx AUTHOR_ID: UCa1Bm3Q-dcg0V7lDdTxy0VA TEXT: TW: Weapons grade fedora tipping This is mostly agreeing with the end point but wildly disagreeing with the route and terminology to get there but I will argue that Dune's litany against fear (with the minor substitution of "I will not fear/fear to do [x]" instead of "I must not ") is far more impactful and useful than all the faux-buddhist force stuff put together (not that I think actual buddhist teaching is any better or different than any other religion, as they all boil down to Calvin-esque "sit down, shut up and know your place" and "everything that happens to you is your own damned fault" BS ultimately). Take that whole "a leads to b, b leads to c, {...}, suffering leads to the darkside" thing for example, not only do emotions not follow a linear sequence like that, but it encourages the exact same thought policing via burdening yourself with your own conscience (that only benefits those who don't have one) that the concepts "sin" or "karma" do; you were hurt and if you react with wrongthink/ you become a bad thing/put yourself on the road to damnation and you'll deserve it! Fuck That Noise. I am going to hate people who have genuinely and egregiously wronged me without fear; it's not going to make their heads explode like in Scanners, as evidenced by the fact their heads haven't exploded like in Scanners, so long as it stays at thought why burden myself by feeling bad/guilty about it. The worst people in the world don't feel guilt or shame like that, which is part of how they get their way soo often, so why cede that advantage to them? Finally when people like Musk eventually provide their only positive impact on the world by passing out of it, whether by a ketamine induced cardiac event or a free ride on Vladdy Vodka's Great Glass De-Elevator, after a moment of jubilation my hatred too shall pass.

So it just locks me in constant defense modewhere if I just keep quiet, and not rock the boat no harm can come my way. Again, alot of it stemming from years of constant fearing being compaired to certain unfavorable individuals, anticipating the possibility of an interaction ending in extreme social retaliation, and just alot of self hatred, and alot of other baggage that stems from being fed alot of toxic rhetoric, and a looming sense of emotional isolation. And then I constantly need to ground myself and need to remember, that some outcomes are far beyond my control, and the important thing is to learn how to control what I can control. Also, again, I agree 100%, and will keep saything this as many times as necissary; bad news burnout is real, walking away from social media, disconnecting the news is perfectly aceptable. You don't need to constantly make a big song and dance about it, and shout it from the heavens(That's my problem with people who feel the urge to announce that they're "Leaving/ not engaging with a fandom" but that's a different conversation), but it's still a perfectly justifiable response. Again, I'm not sayiing that living in complete denial of reality and pretending that everything is all Sunshine Rainbows Care Bears and Ponies holding hands singing kumbaiya. It's just that sometimes you've got to know how to pick which battles are worth fighting. It's a lesson I learned that help me break free of all the toxic culture war bile. Because again all it is is just more "Coke vs Pepsi", "Autobots vs Decepticons" "SNES vs Genesis" tribalisitic thinking. It's stuff like this that makes me look at stuff like Gamergate, Ghostbusters 2016, the Vic Mignogna allegations, Hogwarts legacy, or Sweet baby inc. or whatever the next big piece of discourse to inevitably hit the pop culture sphere that makes me go "This is not worth it, clearly there is no side worth rooting for, and everyone's being unreasonable, I'm out peace".(This is true for both the hardline social activists, and the counter-reactionary crowd) It's one of those things where I get the sense that the people at the forefront of these shouting maches don't really care, and are just looking for an excuse to interject themselves into spaces that are ment to be an escape from real world problems just so they can have a big enough stage for their political battleground. Again leaving me asking "Why should I care about what you're spouting, if it's abundantly clear that you're just using me as an expendable pawn in your game?" ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbMoLW_qFoY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbMoLW_qFoY&lc=UgxssGiFu0p5OU1p2ed4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250122 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: We're in a time now where everyone is gonna believe what they wish to believe.

Sorry in advance for the length.I did ramble a bit, so I had AI help clean this up since I ramble a lot . I still have the “uncut” version if that’s more your thing. Again—sorry for the long post. The Respect Breakdown in Gaming The core issue I see in gaming culture is a lack of respect. Around the time of Gamergate, there were legitimate criticisms being raised—but also a lot of noise. Some people used the moment to air personal grievances or spread outright lies. There were cases of real harassment, but also people exaggerating or fabricating incidents. On the flip side, others denied any wrongdoing at all, dismissing everything as fake because a few feminist journalists were caught lying. Trust was shattered. Gamers, in some ways, were right to push back against the idea that everything in gaming was inherently racist, sexist, or problematic. But they handled it terribly. You can be right and still make all the wrong moves. The Rise of Ideological Capture Around 2015, leftist ideology started gaining more traction in social spaces. I don’t think being a leftist automatically makes someone wrong—but I do have issues with the core philosophy. At first, the critiques of gaming and media were normal, even helpful. But then came the emotional manipulation: “You don’t want to be racist, right? You don’t want to be problematic, right?” That’s when liberals folded. Out of guilt or fear of not being progressive enough, they handed over the wheel. Conservatives, by contrast, were treated by liberals more like, “Sure, take it for a test drive, but I’m watching you.” Which was good. But for leftists ? They let the car go full throttle. This led to three camps: Group One: Became full-on leftists, sometimes doubling down on the bullying. Group Two: Tried to hold the line as liberals, offering critiques but getting drowned out. Group Three: The fringe crazies—once kept in check, now increasingly unrestrained. Eventually, Group One turned on the liberals, calling them problematic or uncaring. Some even made extreme comparisons (you know the ones). The remaining liberals got tired of the name-calling and manipulation and quietly left. What remained? Mostly the loudest, most extreme voices. Debate was gone. It became a shouting match, and ironically, the bigotry that leftism claimed to fight—racism, sexism, homophobia—started showing up in the very spaces that claimed to oppose it. And they felt vindicated. The Weaponization of Morality We went from “This game dev said something sexist—boycott the game” to “Someone on the dev team said something about Charlie Kirk—boycott the game.” That’s a huge shift. I’ve always hated both “Everything is political” and “Keep politics out of media.” The first is technically true, but it’s often used as a weapon. It becomes a license to be a jerk over the tiniest disagreement. Like, “You like this writer? He’s right-wing. Disown him or you’re the enemy.” And if you push back, they say, “Well, everything is political.” That’s not a justification—it’s a cop-out. On the flip side, “Keep politics out of media” is also weak. Just because some people are bad at integrating politics into media doesn’t mean we should bury our heads in the sand. It’s like sloppy joes. I hated them as a kid because I only had the gross school version. Then my dad made them at home—delicious. The problem wasn’t the dish; it was the cook. Passion vs Preaching I’ve enjoyed plenty of media from Japan that expresses political views I strongly disagree with—like full-on socialist themes. And yet, I still enjoy the work. Why? Because I don’t feel talked down to. I feel like the creator had a passion to tell a story first and wanted me to understand their perspective, even if they dislike mine. That’s the difference. It’s not about agreeing—it’s about respect and intent. Virtue Signaling and Ego Somewhere along the way, being an a**hole became acceptable—if you were on the “right side.” People started virtue signaling their opinions, and if someone politically aligned with you trashed someone else, it became okay to pile on. The ego inflated. You’d see developers or artists on a game team calling old fans “problematic,” saying “I hate gamers,” and just throwing out insult after insult. These weren’t executives, but mid-level folks who were allowed to run wild unless the backlash was massive. Companies and the Emotional Tug-of-War Companies listening to online discourse feel like they’re stuck between a shady uncle and a big dog. The uncle (the left) is manipulative but familiar—you listen because he tugs at your emotions. The dog (the right) is loyal but intimidating—you listen because you fear it might bark (boycott) or bite (threats, violence). Neither side is healthy. And now, the right has started mimicking the left’s tactics. Instead of making respectful, firm arguments, it’s often just hate. A game with politics they don’t like? It’s automatically bad. Sure, some people genuinely critique the execution—but others just don’t want to see representation that isn’t them. Let’s be honest. The “Woke” Motte-and-Bailey When leftists say “woke just means representation,” I think they’re doing a motte-and-bailey. The original definition of “woke” is about being aware of injustice. But nowhere does it say that being aware means you have the right solution—or that someone less “woke” can’t have a better one. Yet people act like their mission is holy, and any method is justified. Honesty and Taste If I don’t like something politically, I try not to lie about it. If it’s well-made but I disagree with the message, I’ll say that. Same the other way around. Sometimes, we should just admit: “This is weird to me, but not in a bad way.” Take Dragon Age: Veilguard. I’m not queer, and the game leaned hard into queer themes—maybe too hard? It felt like if a series had religious tones, and then the sequel was just all religion, ignoring everything else. And if you asked about it, they’d say, “It was always religious.” Maybe it needed better writing, or maybe it just wasn’t for me. I could be wrong. But I won’t lie and say it’s bad just because it’s not for me. If the queer themes were written better, maybe I’d have liked them more. Who knows? Final Thoughts If you made it through all this—thank you. Seriously. I know it’s a lot, but I wanted to be honest, even if messy. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFfOkSmApm0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFfOkSmApm0&lc=UgzV5ZjWMIfqkQN9TVZ4AaABAg.AP7chp91kI4APM-zLoSgsx UPLOAD DATE: 20251104 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: Honestly I would have preferred that you just used your own words. The AI "assistance" makes this extremely impersonal, and it's hard to tell what your thoughts are and what came from the AI. And frankly, you and the AI fail to answer questions such as "so WHAT you're not "queer"? I'm not a man and Gears of War is still a really emotional trilogy for me. See also: God of War. The AI has made the fundamental error of "straight male video game character = normal. Anything else needs to do backflips to justify their existence." Which is the problem with relying on something that just scrapes the internet for consensus. Consensus is often wrong. It's not the game's fault if people struggle to relate to people who are different. The most powerful character for me in Veilguard is Solas, which has ZERO to do with the queer characters. The fact that you got "Veilguard is all about teh gay" makes me wonder if you played the game, because it's about so much more than that. Even Taash isn't just about being non binary. Taash's story is also about being an immigrant, and being shaped by two very different cultures. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFfOkSmApm0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFfOkSmApm0&lc=UgzV5ZjWMIfqkQN9TVZ4AaABAg.AP7chp91kI4APMD_4Gu-0L UPLOAD DATE: 20251104 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Sweet_bacon892 AUTHOR_ID: UCJXr5xfYouJk_nU5CUM1leA TEXT: ⁠​⁠ @RedLianaK  1.) Yeah doesn’t seem like it did the best job, I do have my original thoughts without it being edited. So the f** up is my bad. 2.) I wasn’t trying to say I’m not queer and so I can’t enjoy it, I was trying to say is doubling down on themes a previous work of art may sometimes cause problems & have other points lose their impact as you focus more on one core element. Of course however you could even triple down and still make a good or even better product. Now yes I haven’t played veilguard, the game looking uninteresting to me. But hearing interviews from creators of the game saying well the game has always been queer (which is correct) I thought “it’s 2024…..this probably isn’t gonna be added to the story because it will be entertaining or make the story better it’s probably just for brownie points” that added with the cutscenes that were cringe on the subject like the pushups and your character involved with the scene with They’re mother kinda made me roll my eyes. Wonder why does my character care about Taash aside from they have a b**ch of a mother ? They didn’t seem to have an interesting personality. Not to say oh the queer themes are the only reason this happened it could even be some other reason, only that wanting to more so focus on that doesn’t equal success. Kinda like uh saints row 2 to 3 people liked the comedic nature so they doubled down which kinda made the series suck losing the more darker tones. Again like I said I wouldn’t like it if it was right wing and had some religious elements then the sequel doubles down on the religion part ignoring everything else. You got this nonsense with trump and halo, so what halo is closer to right wing (despite also having a crazy religious cult as the enemy) I wouldn’t then want the next halo to be a pro Christian nationalist anti immigration story even if previous games had right wing elements because it’s dumb and doesn’t work for the story of halo. And if somehow I wouldn’t work you’d need top notch writing to not f**ck it up, or just not do it which is the better less stupid option. I was also trying to communicate and yes the a.i messed up so again on me 😂 I can be a black man and even connect with queer themes or themes of someone completely different from me completely from another story that is about black men or black people in general. And i believe we’ve lost that sense of appreciating art we might not understand or like and thinking because we don’t understand certain art or people it must be bad. I think sometimes it’s ok if you’re a straight guy and don’t understand queer characters, that lack of understanding shouldn’t warrant fear or hate it should bring curiously and wanting to understand or civility. Things I think more people did in the past but now it’s almost impossible to do. Games and art should be made for people besides me that’s the whole point of a market and it’s ok if I don’t get everything piece of art, I’ll either get it someday or move on. Not only that people need to be fine with queer characters sometimes being terrible, they aren’t terrible cause they’re queer they terrible cause that’s what happens with writing we have tons of terrible straight white characters this shouldn’t be crazy to see. 3.) I do think however what I pointing out in terms of how we got here in my first comment is somewhere on the money, I might be wrong curious to hear your thoughts. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFfOkSmApm0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFfOkSmApm0&lc=UgyTlk224LEpN0s8wNF4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251104 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @GarethOfByzantium AUTHOR_ID: UC-4q_I29Dc9eQRN1CqtAVTg TEXT: Good to see you talking about games again. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFfOkSmApm0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFfOkSmApm0&lc=Ugzebkqekw8bFhkp_p94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251104 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @iamOrangeFM AUTHOR_ID: UC6P6D9BZdcngZ5ONUSWp6Aw TEXT: I'd highly recommend anybody interested in getting a peak into a game development studio to check out Double Fine's "Psychodyssey" documentary on their YouTube channel.

My take? Not all obviously, but I never hated anyone based on their identity, nor who they are attracted to, or even how they identify. But it seems like the people in these spaces assume ALL of that group is awful, instead of just a vocal minority of jerks.

I think some might because of various reasons due to human nature and prior or current environments. Which can be said about any area, industry, or group. The current choices in gaming and the economy being not so great have factors too. Being lower class, I have for a long time had the mindset of looking for info before buying. I avoided wasting money on The Last of Us Part II thanks to that. Instead, I bought Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Doom Eternal. Because I knew I'd enjoy those games more. As a gamer. I think devs may be used as scapegoats for the corporate execs and investors, too. Again, human nature. "What's popular these days? It will make us money." Maybe before social media and bot/alt accounts, that would have more weight to it. However, these days, one has to be vigilant while looking through that. The internet and Academia are not the real world. "The investors will stop funding us if we don't do as they ask." It can be another factor, too. However, it is highly subjective to the mindset of the investor. In short, I don't think devs generally hate me. I think there may be some who might hate people like me for whatever reason. Humanity is like that. But to say all of them do is a form of finding an easy target to fight. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFfOkSmApm0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFfOkSmApm0&lc=UgzTHJvKykkuSY9wWvt4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251104 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @IslandFenix AUTHOR_ID: UCN6sFpxDvrBOM-TYM7ddceQ TEXT: Hearing the AI breakdown when it got to the 'toxic fanbase' part I couldn't help but think about how it's the extreme examples that get highlighted amd extrapolated to the entire consumer base e.g. some 'fans' sent death threats to Laura Bailey's (i.e. the VA of Abby) newborn son because of Abby's actions in TLoU2, or how even after it was exposed that EA execs forced devs to scrap the original concept for Veilguard from single player to live service and then back to single player because they thought fans would simply buy anything with Dragon Age on the front that some kept saying it was 'those blue-haired devs' pushing wokeness where it didn't belong. Heck, stepping outside of gaming for a sec, there's stuff like the reaction to The Acolyte. I dunno if there was a similar reaction on message boards when the Night Witches were introduced into canon but to immediately tear the concept of the Coven apart because it was unfamiliar and apparently not male inclusive ends up in a large part of the fanbase being called incels without good reason if they voice genuine criticisms of other aspects of the show. Reactions to that level of unfiltered and immediate feedback can then be mislabelled as 'hate' and it just fuels a spiral of negativity. As for where it comes from, I think it's a tricky mix of heightened expectations and social pressures. Like you said, a lot of gamers immerse themselves to escape a lot of the crap they have to deal with in the real world so not only do they feel robbed from a nostalgia standpoint if the formula changes too drastically (e.g. Forspoken, where they were criticizing Frey's dialogue for being too modern and slang driven for a medevial setting when the game literally was using Alice in Wonderland as a reference for feeling out of place), but when they get told that their dislike is driven by wanting power over other marginalized groups (something which they never felt like they had or wanted due to their own individual experiences) that just makes them feel more alienated, misunderstood, and prone to the machinations of the grifters. As such there's gonna be friction over the solution between actually making gamers feel included on a broader social level versus an entire restructuring to normalize new elements, which for many essentially translates straight into gender war dynamics. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFfOkSmApm0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFfOkSmApm0&lc=Ugw_rR58SVEpjpk2Fpd4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251104 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itsrickyschannel. AUTHOR_ID: UCrWBNDMxLNWTv4Ftt8qf-tw TEXT: Answer: Yes + No = 0 + 1 = 2... Computer broke. In seriousness, it will depend on the game dev and its a complex topic. I argue on the general premise of the question, No. Though my belief is generally not that the devs hate gamers, but the actual corporations, the higher ups, corporate execs and out of touch investors who lack any and all respect for the medium of electronic entertainment and just hear ka-ching and see dollar signs in thier eyes. Any sense of the devs hating gamers, in my opinion, stem from frustration that they are one cog in the machine and getting anger on their shoulders because the project manager for the game's team they are working on put the blame for any issues on them. Gamers can tend to be a little much and I say that as someone who plays videogames and have my own scathing opinions on the current affairs of the industry. I like to imagine that a majority of game devs working in the industry, do it becuase they want to do it, possibly out of the passions of building or playing games or are genuinely the type to love coding in general. Can game devs join the industry for selfish reasons? Are game devs capable of being bad faith, horrible, angry, nasty people? Yes. But I feel this is a very small minority. Anything else is resentment and bitterness at possible malpractice, malicious work environments (which are a plague in the games industry) and mistreatment by fellow staff in the workplace. Not to mention bad rep like I mentioned before, especially if they double as the Team's PR or have a public presence. Edit: 5:40 OK I wrote this before I even hit play up to this point.

As I see it, there is no hatred. What I see is either resentmet, cynicism, or both. And I mean cynicism as in believing people lack goodness and sincerity. Although more an educated guess built from what people are willing to share publicly in interviews. It seems to me that some devs aim to please a certain audience. Then certain groups of people come in and some devs don't know how to react them. Considering the fact that some groups of people can't get along, even in the same community, there can be negative interactions and reactions. Obviously this isn't all devs, but some people do believe it is. And many people tend to misinterpret negative responses as hatred, despite there being no actual hate present. That's what I see is going on. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFfOkSmApm0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFfOkSmApm0&lc=Ugz7Dm29NhDL0XJx4ix4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251104 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ciscodeer9094 AUTHOR_ID: UCh5xjLeogbllhMLOUPYLPOg TEXT: Some companies do other don't, it's all how you perceive it, for example Destiny 2 they ask you in a survey what do you like about our raids ? or how often do you play Destiny 2 ? it's like Bungie ignores it's fans, if you ask me they should have just gotten retting id of the season passes and quit resetting the player.

It's all well-earned and deserved. The problem is that gamers and developers live in different worlds and speak different languages. Players want one thing but they won't actually pay for it. They pay for graphics, they pay for voice-overs, but even then they don't not pay well. Budgets are up 1000x and they won't pay another $10 without whining. But it's not players' fault that they're stupid and selfish. Publishers like EA and Activision have spent my entire lifetime overspending and saying that "Devs that care do this!" to crush the small indy studios of the 80s and 90s. I believed it until I became a dev and saw the dev meetings and how it (doesn't) works. Players aren't the ones who created this lie. They were just the ones who had been sold the lie for 20 years. Players are stupid by design. Players THINK they understand because if they really did, the corpo's wouldn't own the entire market share. This was the long game. We buried the small devs with big money to eradicate competition, and the fans follow that algorithm like the blind sheep they are. You buy up everyone and everything until you have total market control. Now that all the indy devs we 'supported' are bought up, we raise the price of Game Pass because the addicts have no choice. Microsoft made the money instead of the developers... and they used that to kill off those developers. Players become invested in a world where a popular influencer reviews games as elephant dung, and people fling insults back and forth on their social circle jerk of choice... and this is what we get. A bunch of clueless jerks. None of this is okay, but it's what we do now. We sling insults and we flip out. We all prove ourselves all moral indie supporters by buying up the same four indie games, while the other 12K releases can stay buried and invisible. You're truly the selfless heroes, players! Why would I tell people about that small $10K indy game when I can remind them that that one that's already earned a billion? Talking the billion one will get me more views and respect. Here's the thing... I love games. I love the people involved in it. But it's hard, man. All I want is to love things, but y'all are toxic AF and it's healthier to just hate it all instead. I don't hate any of y'all, but I do want to because it'd hurt so much less. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFfOkSmApm0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFfOkSmApm0&lc=UgwKpT18hl8qXs8yvAp4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251104 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @bookonlegsbookonlegs8991 AUTHOR_ID: UC6KQVY9Q82hkTYdKZAYYqIQ TEXT: Answer: Yes Because if they didn't hate gamers, they wouldn't do the same things over and over again. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFfOkSmApm0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFfOkSmApm0&lc=Ugwep_UzSXK4owkNWq94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251104 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Aries73 AUTHOR_ID: UCXcjFnRxCrfoPY-QIu5fKsw TEXT: Answer: No Stop listening to Gamergate grifters still lazily trying to scrape up money with a dead narrative.

You know how women's issues are framed as something SOCIETY needs to address and fix but men's issue (if anyone even deigns to admit men HAVE issues) are framed as a skill issue, a defect of their maleness, and it's their damn fault to begin with so screw off about asking for help.

And I think that doing so serves a similar psychological function. Namely, framing an issue in such a way that absolves the person of any and all responsibility. A man who behaves in a toxic way towards dates and drives them away can blame his bank account and women's high financial expecations, because that's what all women are like. And as long as he can blame a lack of success on that, he doesn't have to look at his own toxic behavior. A woman who wears herself out with giving everything to her relationship and grows disatisfyed about not having her needs met, tells herself that men are emotionally stunted and need to "catch up" rather than thinking, "gee maybe I should try being direct and tell him my needs." Of course, that also risks him still not making the effort after he knows. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CT58myg5Xt4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CT58myg5Xt4&lc=UgwTeJ8rDKuyGqGCb114AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250331 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @LindyHall-c6w AUTHOR_ID: UC3Coccwa7Cn0liMAJ1ZBXDw TEXT: About men complimenting each other: Just today I was passing two construktion workers.

Subtly implies that men should be doing this work for the benefit of women rather than to better their own lives (you need to do the work to get on my level because it's too much work for me/us to step down to yours). 3. Directly implies that the way women process/communicate their emotions is the DEFAULT and that the way men process/communicate their emotions is DEFECTIVE, rather than just discouraged by society at large. (It's actually a kind of ironic reversal of that draconian old idea in medicine that women are simply defective, small, weak men LMAO). That's my two cents.

I agree, it does come off as a pretty toxic relationship but it also sort of exemplifies something you said to want to see more and that's the idea of men trying to be themselves not trying to be attractive by being a certain thing. To dig further into it Amy and Rory were friends since childhood and Amy was obsessed with the idea of "The Raggidy Doctor" coming to take her away on these adventures, and it's mentioned Rory often played the role in their games of being the "The Raggidy Doctor". To Rory the Doctor is what he sees Amy as wanting and works to try and be like, it's why he's a nurse, the idea being he wanted to be a Doctor but wasn't good enough as such so took the next option he had by going into Nursing. Rory is failing to live up to this idea of the Doctor Amy has put out and Amy doesn't realise a lot of this or how good Rory is only realising once he's gone the first time and then Rory becomes his own self more as the Centurion who waited and everything else he stops trying to be The Doctor. It's why in the end Amy ultimate chooses what happens to herself to be with Rory rather than carry on with the Doctor. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiOrhPFyico COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiOrhPFyico&lc=UgzVfEFWEP0zlpFkHvF4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250704 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @bookonlegsbookonlegs8991 AUTHOR_ID: UC6KQVY9Q82hkTYdKZAYYqIQ TEXT: Also.

If it's in a video, watch the body language. Does their body language and tone of voice add up? What kinds of language are they using? Is it sweeping generalities and use of "always" or "never?" Is the appeal to emotion? Are they attacking the person or their accounting of events? Only OCCASIONALLY will you get someone who can lie through both their body, and words. It's not easy.

If you can't accept criticism but dish it out or act rude to others like strangers online were to you then I call that person a coward. I guess as for like, asking for validation all the time, you can't always expect it, but it's certainly bad to be in a judgey environment where you can't enjoy something without it being a problem. I guess as for me, "Woke" is just the right wing flavor for "Problematic". I wanna enjoy art for what it is. I'm a centrist. I don't really care of culture war stuff. There may be things that don't interest me, but it's not for me to lecture anyone on what they like. If someone likes AC Shadows or whatever, well. That's fine period. It's just entertainment. I really think more people gotta fight to make the meaningful change in their lives to stop being lonely. Kinda like what Shinji did in the last Eva Rebuild movie. If he, the representation of the lonely epidemic in Japan can find happiness with others, real life people can. You just gotta take that first step. It's not gonna help bitching about a dumb video game or whatever. You just gotta find also the friend group who is positive but will be honest to criticize or disagree with you. If you can find the balance you don't need to feel like you gotta be pandered to all the time. You'll feel more fulfilled imo. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7yust5khV4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7yust5khV4&lc=Ugzz0shwxQzJCVmx7ZF4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250407 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Tnu1138 AUTHOR_ID: UCvcDm_QxP2DHVVJzEpS4t0w TEXT: Part of why I skipped the Shadows streams. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7yust5khV4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7yust5khV4&lc=Ugw_R2vHbLCKes9Sphp4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250407 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @death31313 AUTHOR_ID: UCt7ESyPPXsSEpBbx4L6LsnQ TEXT: I haven't enjoyed an Assassins creed game since AC 2 but in fairness I haven't played one since Valhalla.

I am a bit salty about Ubisoft messing with Ghost Recon by turning it into a derivative looter shooter with Breakpoint. Wildlands had it's flaws but it was still really fun, it was the last Ghost Recon game I enjoyed, I've been playing them since I was a little kid. It bumms me out a bit when an IP I love gets turned into generic slop to match a current trend. I guess what I'm getting at is I avoid Ubisoft games, I don't care what other people do with their money but there are so many other games I can play I just can't justify dropping AAA game prices on something that I probably won't enjoy. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7yust5khV4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7yust5khV4&lc=UgzNBrQyw0C8wfBhGcZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250407 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: Good video.

But in all seriousness, yeah I totally agree that if someone is just going to be a miserable downer just as an excuse to be a jejrk to everyone, it's important to either nip that in the bud, or tell them they can walk. However, I'm also concerned that in an attempt to curb excessive negativity, we might end up unintentionally swinging in the other direction and trying to push forced positivity. The idea that "Happiness is manditory, you better smile or suffer the consiquences" is equally as dangerous, and is one of those things that have been weaponized to silenc dissenting opinions. At the same it, I'm also aware that there are bad actors who use "Pushing back against toxic positivity" as an excuse to be overly negative and attack people who don't see things the way they do, and cry "I'm being punished for wrongthink by the opinion poilice" as a shield from scruiteny.(Hence why I'm not that big of a fan of how "Don't ask questions, just consume product and be excited for more products" has been twisted from a critique of people who do make unquestioning brand loyalty their personality to a thought terminating shorthand for "Stop liking what I don't like".) And it's not just the culture war talk(Because, at this point it's all just background noise to me.) I also feel that same way about alot of Nintendo discourse in recent years the. Where it seems like seems like every decision Nintendo makes that people don't like has to be treated like a war crime.(Doubly so If you've been paying attention to all the Switch 2 news recently.)Now again don't get it twisted: I'm not someone who just blindly defends everything Nintendo does, because even I have my limits with them.(Their agressive Disney-level stranglehold on their copyright, lack of proper game preservation efforts, and especially charging $80USD for Switch 2 games.) And I totally agree that it's important to vote with your wallet. At the same time, acting like Boycotting the Switch 2 is this noble crusade, and attacking people who aren't on board isn't the way to go.(Not to mention, you end up sounding no different than the "Boycott Hogwarts Legacy or else you're a bad person" crowd.)Ultimately, my point is; Both Toxic positivity and Toxic Negativity are equally as damaging, and once again balance is the key. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7yust5khV4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7yust5khV4&lc=UgwnKSB2nb5VZ8YMbSF4AaABAg.AGc4lGuAJ5cAGc9K8hOHKy UPLOAD DATE: 20250407 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Shinjiduo AUTHOR_ID: UCjijQbCgKTWjGSVMMnjijKg TEXT: Who is doing more to keep their legacy content available on new hardware among console makers than Nintendo?

If these people at parties are so thoroughly unwilling to express or redress any sort of grievance on their own without being prodded by an authority, then they're not worth socializing with at all. Because being on the receiving end of a whole lot of passive-aggressive soft power-mongering that labeled me the villain and wasting a whole decade of my life with that and another half-decade wondering who really shot first have not been terribly pleasant, either. After a while, you start to think it's better to become the guy that everyone pegged you for since you've met plenty of good reference material to work with. And I'm not even talking about online discussions over video games. Meeting these people in person on a regular basis is enough to make me sick. I have learned to hate everyone else who enjoys my hobbies. And yes, I have been on the receiving end of these kinds of guys, several of which made it a point to ruin things for me specifically. So, I have to do a lot of project work on my own and refuse to collaborate with anyone, just to ensure nothing falls apart. I don't believe these people would entertain the notion of having my back and, if I ventured into their little get-together--assuming I had any incentive to try anything remotely resembling that action--then I would not expect them to think I wasn't "that guy" regardless of what I do. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7yust5khV4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7yust5khV4&lc=UgzO2rPHU_Xu6cWnEQ54AaABAg.AGc4AN0IhvDAGcj2QMDe1a UPLOAD DATE: 20250407 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @dercooney AUTHOR_ID: UCXwNe9Keuvq5glvLcA8cmeg TEXT: having dealt with a whisper campaign myself, i just want to know wtf i'm supposed to have done. someone let slip a couple things that were spicy, but i'm sure there's more ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7yust5khV4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7yust5khV4&lc=UgzO2rPHU_Xu6cWnEQ54AaABAg.AGc4AN0IhvDAGcrE7ajBtb UPLOAD DATE: 20250407 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @christopherthibeault7502 AUTHOR_ID: UCE01rt2fCIYn7IZCao4CuzA TEXT:  @dercooney  Exactly.

Even verbal conflicts can escalate to violence pretty quickly. It's also America and the modern age. Nobody wants to catch a metaphorical or literal bullet for a stranger for the sake of the common good or morals. Annoying dudes just get shunned eventually and lose all community or beat/bullied by their friends till they crash out or fall in line. Only the top echelon of friends get the full service friendship. Even then it's not common for guys to want to put their problems on others even if it's just talking about them.

While I do agree that words and actions have consiquences, and you should be willing to know when to cut out certain people in your life for your wellbeing; at the same time, I don't agree with the "one slipup and you're out" mentality. The Idea that people deserve to be taken to task for every small mistake they make, or have made through out their entire life is just really reductive and toxic. Not to mention, that it's yet again another form of weaponized therapy talk. Again, don't get it twisted; I agree with holding people responsible for their actions, but at the same time treating every slight mistake on the same level of a war crime isn't the way to go. Likewise, the idea of "only wanting to seek compainonship with people who are exactly like you" is just very narrowminded. Expecting everyone to just conform to your ideal standards, s a surefire way to become a very lonely and miserable person. Another pitfall of the victim mentality. ' I also really felt the whole, "not wanting to conform" thing. Again, as someone on the spectrum, It's something I find really vindicating to see that other people feel the same way about not wanting to be pidgeonholed into a specific role. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-0wqpnuQ_s COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-0wqpnuQ_s&lc=UgxZs95moK5MJRna_pZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241206 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @aquila.46Q AUTHOR_ID: UCRSFkdHVLFjxyCwGdtwZyDw TEXT: If I had refused to make friends with people of different races...

In academic spaces, the term is very useful but in the real world people misunderstand the phrase more often than not. Which has killed most productive discussions of the behaviour the term describes before they can even really begin. I try to use the phrase "toxic conditioning" instead. People tend to understand that conditioning is something that happens to someone, not an inherent trait of that person (which bypasses some of the emotional reactions "toxic masculinity" receives). And whilst you can use the term for any gender "toxic conditioning" is still useful when discussing the problematic behaviour of a specific group: "Men's toxic conditioning", for example. It does the same thing as "toxic masculinity" but doesn't engender the notion of toxicity and risk attacking someone's identity (it's even a syllable shorter) ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7x1qIVTYbY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7x1qIVTYbY&lc=Ugxhel8QvYKN2Ys69qB4AaABAg.AJ9txkKPOBPAJAJ-MO6ghE UPLOAD DATE: 20250609 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @visaman AUTHOR_ID: UCVmzmLAWc0RMFscQCz13wFQ TEXT: The breaking point was the infamous Gillete commercial. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7x1qIVTYbY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7x1qIVTYbY&lc=UgxPF4F4R73Vk3j9GTB4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250609 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: Good job today! ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7x1qIVTYbY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7x1qIVTYbY&lc=Ugz59kQVaPx3fXgGsut4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250609 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @odysseus9672 AUTHOR_ID: UCWU5L6h6X_J4NrFQoTUY3SQ TEXT: The problem is this: Trump can't win that suit if it's true. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7x1qIVTYbY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7x1qIVTYbY&lc=UgwMZRFqCV4mxEEWdd14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250609 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ariwl1 AUTHOR_ID: UC4cK0RMGVAsBiRdRfg9H0ow TEXT: I've long said that if guys like Trump and Elon hadn't been born rich they'd be that creepy uncle that every family has but nobody likes, but you have to keep inviting them to events because it'll upset grandma otherwise.

"Equality of outcome" is more or less a conservative canard, the phrase does not appear in Marx or in any other socialist writer, as far as I know, and is probably impossible in practice. Freddie de Boer spoke about this misunderstanding a few years back: "they repeat the misconception that Marxism mandates “equality of outcomes,” the notion that Marxism’s purpose is to make all of us equal, whatever that might mean. But no such sentiment exists in The Communist Manifesto or any of the other major texts, and in fact Marx and Engels both maintained that equality was a nonsensical political goal, arguing correctly that any difference between two people can be expressed as an inequality, which are therefore inevitable, and that the objective was rather to eliminate the parasitic relationship between capital and labor, to end exploitation. (Which would not, for the record, result in anything like genuine summative equality.)" The expressed goal of Marx is to liberate the working class from exploitation, not to provide "equality of outcome". ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygICL6ALZU COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygICL6ALZU&lc=UgxlUJjMRUC9Tz2V5ox4AaABAg.AIBbY8KQxArAICdFrioUPj UPLOAD DATE: 20250516 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @GarethOfByzantium AUTHOR_ID: UC-4q_I29Dc9eQRN1CqtAVTg TEXT: Fairness is also hard to define. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygICL6ALZU COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygICL6ALZU&lc=UgxlUJjMRUC9Tz2V5ox4AaABAg.AIBbY8KQxArAICdT-N-bwq UPLOAD DATE: 20250516 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @GarethOfByzantium AUTHOR_ID: UC-4q_I29Dc9eQRN1CqtAVTg TEXT: Problem: the phrase “working class” implies a group that one is born and dies in, that one who is in said class can never be anything else. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygICL6ALZU COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygICL6ALZU&lc=UgxlUJjMRUC9Tz2V5ox4AaABAg.AIBbY8KQxArAICdwoktfzQ UPLOAD DATE: 20250516 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @blackmichael75 AUTHOR_ID: UCUvjVVVMN-CK1TqJaILW5wg TEXT:  @GarethOfByzantium  No, you can start in one class and finish in another. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygICL6ALZU COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygICL6ALZU&lc=UgxlUJjMRUC9Tz2V5ox4AaABAg.AIBbY8KQxArAIDBVrmNc1f UPLOAD DATE: 20250516 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @GarethOfByzantium AUTHOR_ID: UC-4q_I29Dc9eQRN1CqtAVTg TEXT: @ that’s not what class meant when Marx talked about it. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygICL6ALZU COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygICL6ALZU&lc=UgxMV58Rfnza8eLNS2V4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250516 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @SenorZorros AUTHOR_ID: UC53ezeQUMdon7MHn2cuRNQA TEXT: If you understand statistics it is actually pretty clear why you want to measure equality of outcome.

You are using a textbook definition of Equity, and textbook definitions are kinda useless in discourse. We need to remember the arguments from 2016 onward about the textbook definition of Feminism. The textbook definition didn't match the behaviors, statements, and goals of activists who were using the word Feminist. The same thing is happening with Equity. You can throw that definition around all day, but that isn't the way it is being used across the political landscape. American Leftist politicians and activists frequently (and sometimes exclusively) use the term Equity as shorthand for "Equality of outcome". Former Vice President Harris had a video on the website for the Biden/Harris campaign that literally said, and I quote, "We all start in different places, but we all end up in the same place. That's Equity," in reference to economic policy. Bernie Sanders uses it the same way, as does "Hamas" Piker. In social activism, "Racial Equity" is used to mean Equal Outcomes as well. Ibrim X Kendi, Robin D'Angelo, etc, all use it that way. In a conflict between Textbook definitions and Common Usage, you have an uphill battle. When the Common usage is inflammatory and negative, it elevates to a Sisyphean task. The people who are reacting to you so angrily about the definition aren't pigheaded and stubborn, they are reacting to seeing one person use Definition X, while almost everyone else uses Definition Y, and the people who use Definition Y are foul and hateful, so they have a valid emotional response to a term that is used as a weapon against them. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygICL6ALZU COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygICL6ALZU&lc=UgyyY4mot8oW6Sylg194AaABAg.AIBUva5czCDAIBs0UzZFKB UPLOAD DATE: 20250516 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @dercooney AUTHOR_ID: UCXwNe9Keuvq5glvLcA8cmeg TEXT: this maps cleanly onto the motte and bailey argument strategy, where you promote the textbook definition, which is PR friendly, but then work on the equal outcome strategy privately, kneecapping high performers until the demographics look right. yet another thing that gained sunlight with GG ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygICL6ALZU COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygICL6ALZU&lc=UgyyY4mot8oW6Sylg194AaABAg.AIBUva5czCDAIBszfFr8Z8 UPLOAD DATE: 20250516 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @chaselonnergan AUTHOR_ID: UCQkErstwH5t9y1xzVnfrh-Q TEXT: @dercooney  I can see no flaw in that logic. 2A advocates are very familiar with that strategy of legislation. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygICL6ALZU COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygICL6ALZU&lc=UgyyY4mot8oW6Sylg194AaABAg.AIBUva5czCDAIBtSZxzzQ0 UPLOAD DATE: 20250516 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @dercooney AUTHOR_ID: UCXwNe9Keuvq5glvLcA8cmeg TEXT:  @chaselonnergan  maybe don't veer wildly into a gun control rant ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygICL6ALZU COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygICL6ALZU&lc=UgyyY4mot8oW6Sylg194AaABAg.AIBUva5czCDAIBtkABtsiH UPLOAD DATE: 20250516 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @chaselonnergan AUTHOR_ID: UCQkErstwH5t9y1xzVnfrh-Q TEXT:  @dercooney  LOL.

But when you take nuance into consideration, there are so many possible outcomes rather than just the one which, in your pencil example, is having a pencil. Say the school hands out pencils. Maybe everyone gets the standard hexagonal pencil to start. But maybe some kids struggle with it as it causes their fingers to hurt, so the school gets round pencils for them instead. Or maybe some kids have the opposite problem and don't have enough grip strength or something, so the school gets them triangular pencils instead. Then the more well-to-do kids don't take pencils from the school at all, as their parents got them mechanical pencils with whatever their preferred grip shape is. So sure, every kid having a pencil is the outcome, but not all pencils are the same, hence not equal outcomes. This is the problem with easy answers and oversimplified definitions - nuance is lost and definitions get warped as a result. But it will be a constant problem because easy answers are just that - easy. It's more intuitive on the surface, so no extensive explanations, and less steps for the brain to process.

An emotional person is a less predictable person. The bigger you are (default assumption about guys), the more people want to predict what you will do. Trying to hold you back while still insisting on some form of expression is not always intended to be an affront--it's that emotions destabilize routine. The frequency of male emotional expression is far less, so we can't acclimate ourselves to it. Catharsis still serves a vital purpose and shouldn't be restrained, but it can be reconfigured. That's for when purging emotion causes a worse problem than it is intended to solve--needless panic being one example. Panic kills during survival dilemmas. Yet, it's never to the person's benefit to reconfigure it simply because someone else might be inconvenienced. Besides, catharsis doesn't work as well when reconfigured. Interesting to bring up Marcus Aurelius' stoicism. I can translate the same notions towards fear rather than anger. Lots of us think fearlessness is somehow better than being afraid. Oh, sure. But we fear things from out of nowhere. This happens during unpredictable situations. Fear is not a mind-killer, it restricts some moves, not others. Triggered from the immediate environment, fear reactions are meant to dampen the array of options and encourage immediate action. Someone operating in the absence of fear behaves without appropriate awareness of the situation. They can be callous and inconsiderate, or disregard things that ordinary folk justifiably ruminate about, such as human lives. If you instead master what fears exist, you can achieve the awareness that fear provides and can pick a wider array of options faster and more successfully. That's stoicism. Very simple. Not too complex. It's just never easy. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUk_hEQZAuw COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUk_hEQZAuw&lc=UgzBGC0UyItnwqwPTLl4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250113 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @adrianmcbride1666 AUTHOR_ID: UCz5xMocwfBHwWSfogtq60_Q TEXT: Just a note.

I am not a confident person, but I don't think I exhibit false confidence... that I'm aware of. For example, I believe that I am a skilled miniature painter. I've been painting 40k models for decades, and I believe I know my way around a paint brush. However, I have got into disagreements with my friends when I have looked at the work of a fellow painter and I see their work as beyond my current ability level. I have had friends attempting to be supportive that have claimed that my own ability is on par or even surpassing these painters and I have had to tell them firmly that it is simply not the case. I would classify myself as a display-level painter, but compared to competition level painters my techniques are not as neat or refined and I may never reach that level. I think that's a fair assessment of my abilities but I like to keep some of my early models around my collection as a reminder. Both that I've come a long way, but that it happened through practice, rather than me just being good at painting. As a result I think I stop myself getting too big-headed. Outside of painting? I don't know. I might get too big for my boots sometimes, but I think that generally I'm too insecure of myself to project a façade of false confidence. I think it would be too transparent to work in my case, anyway! 😂 ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDR2At5tV44 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDR2At5tV44&lc=UgwbZDugai1JGkLCk6p4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260209 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-11 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @michaelhurlbut4830 AUTHOR_ID: UCMDlgqV3NRkKrE_nd5zJESg TEXT: On the 60% thing. It is not always false bravado, it's playing the odds. An outsider may hit 100% of the job description but knows nothing about the corporate culture and will, therefore, need training on settling into the team. An insider may hit 60% to 80% of the job description and will need training on the remaining 40% to 20% but will know the culture, the people, and where stuff is. I've been on both sides, as applicant and hiring manager. There is no such thing as the perfect candidate. Every new hire needs training. It's just a matter of what kind of training. The hiring manager is playing the odds that the new hire is capable of growing into and owning the job that was posted. Every applicant is up against all the other applicants posting for the position at that time. You're playing the odds. If you don't throw the application in, you won't get the job. Guaranteed. Do most men understand that it's playing the odds and most women don't? Maybe.

I think JP was saying that women had a lower rate of applying for better jobs/asking for better pay; Newman seemed to assert that JP was saying that women weren't qualified for those jobs, so he clarified that it was less about women not being qualified and more about the idea that since women tend to a higher agreeableness score in personality trait tests that they are less willing to 'rock the boat' to advance themselves and dealing with that was something he did in his practice. (I speak subject to correction since it's been YEARS.) I say that to say this: hearing that women tend to a higher agreeableness score seems to set up the idea in some people's heads that the opposite MUST be true in men both individually and as a collective i.e. that men will tend to a lower agreeableness score, and thus result in more disagreeable behaviour to advance purely out of ego/self interest. While that may appear so on the surface it isn't always the case; it overlooks that there's often a lot of neglect going on (a lot of emotional and sometimes physical is present as well) where people believe they have to overachieve just to be noticed and have basic social needs met, hence 'bragging' about a difficult task being easily achievable for them to pretend they have innate skill and talent which makes them useful/desirable/interesting/praiseworthy. Sooner or later some of these people lash out because they're tired of having to justify their existence via increasingly demanding performance and that outburst is used as evidence of being unworthy of attention, while others simply fade into the background to avoid feeling used. Developing competence in various tasks/skills (including social ones) is a key element to not having to rely on external validation, but I think that far too often that neglect on an individual and a social level gets swept under the rug. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDR2At5tV44 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDR2At5tV44&lc=UgxyAwYiH98Xge6OnSh4AaABAg.AT0_qXR50qhAT0q6lu1Sfw UPLOAD DATE: 20260209 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-10 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: The study I referenced is cited in the book "The Confidence Code".

This video is good, and I agree with the topic. The things that you said about false confidence are correct and I agree. I don't really have disagreements with the generalized topics that come up from comments. It's just that when I'm the example, and I believe there has been a miscommunication, it's difficult to express that. I also respect that your standing your ground and protecting your guests is admirable. I don't want you to censor yourself. And I know you won't believe me, but I don't demand that you read my comments or even respond. And let me also reiterate my apologies. I am genuinely sorry I said it was easy. I do not apologize unless I mean it. None of the apologies I said last week we're disingenuous. I'm sure you deal with hundreds of people who are disingenuous when they say sorry. However, I promise you I only say those words if I've actually thought about and found flaw in something I did. I do agree that my original comment can be interpreted as dismissive of their experiences and I am genuinely sorry for that. I do maintain that my intent was not about them and I was actually referring to my own experiences. I was attempting to express the relief I felt on a topic that I have spent years agnitizing over. I still have disagreements. I do feel that I have been attacked and mocked. I do have problems with some of the things you said in this video. But I don't know if I will return later and express them or not. I wanted this comment at the very least to be as pure as possible. So that you can see that I attempting to be good faith. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDR2At5tV44 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDR2At5tV44&lc=UgwKTy5gv_UvA_lGL3B4AaABAg.AT0Yzt7mzVtAT0pELht87y UPLOAD DATE: 20260209 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-10 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: Once again you're not owning that you accused me of making a video about YOU instead of making a video about a TOPIC you commented on, and you demanded I stop - which is censoring myself. There's absolutely no way to convince you that the mocking you believe was happening wasn't happening, because proving a non event is impossible, especially when you won't clearly acknowledge your own behaviour - refusing to listen and denying you were doing things before admitting to them when you were shown proof - led to a poor outcome. You don't have the right to censor YouTubers because your feelings got hurt, man. There's just no way around that. And if you don't accept that that's what your demand amounted to, there's no way to resolve this, and I'm tired of you making every video about you. You CAN just listen and stop calling attention to yourself a week later. Really, it is possible. You think you've been done wrong. I get that. But you're still not willing to see how people can't respond to your intentions, they can only respond to your actual words and actions. You don't seem to understand that the core issue is that you started off minimizing the struggle of two other guys. You didn't INTEND to, but that was the impact you had. Then you denied you said it at all before switching to the idea that you didn't mean to. But you did say it. Then you accused me of a bunch of things that aren't true. Maybe because you were embarrassed, I don't know, but the intentions don't make your claims any more true. You're accusing me of having intents I didn't have, and you're painting my response to an IDEA as mockery of you as a person, and I find it highly ironic that you want me to believe that you had no ill intent, but you're standing firm on the claim that I did. Benefit of the doubt goes both ways. You can't get it then refuse to give it, and expect things to turn out well. If you think I'm picking on you, stop watching. For the third time, I cannot give you special treatment, and I'm not going to censor myself because you shot your mouth off, tried to deny you did it, played dumb about how feedback worked on this channel before admitting you knew I read comments in videos since I'd read your comments in the past...then you didn't like facing predictable consequences for all of that. I'm saying this trying to help: it would be better for you if you stopped using me as a mommy proxy that is easy to blame, and started recognizing that trying to deflect with blame the way you did just makes you look profoundly insecure. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDR2At5tV44 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDR2At5tV44&lc=UgwKTy5gv_UvA_lGL3B4AaABAg.AT0Yzt7mzVtAT1CoDuk5uV UPLOAD DATE: 20260209 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-11 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @VagabondTE AUTHOR_ID: UChOUKKgbShXy-vQcVtUyhkA TEXT: ​ @RedLianaK  I won't comment anymore.

Like that whole example with that sort of perforamtive feminist Taylor Swift "shake it off" mindset, that perfectly echoes my problems with the online left. It's that very self serving, advertising your sense of moral superiority to the world, but the minute someone challenges their beliefs, they just crash out. There should be no shame in admitting to being wrong some times. Unfortunately, for some people just saying "I don't know" isn't good enough.

I keep getting hit with the realization that some parts of life is just getting more and more unasked for. If i say i don't want to keep space for the things that i can't solve that are beyond me. That is what i said, because the happiness is the goal. So i agree that rebuilding better pathways for one's mental health is very important. We can not control a world that keeps kicking us and putting us in a no win beginning, but we can learn from it and create our own forward. Sometimes those ways are the best parts of us that no one understands, or trying to do better by what's important to us. Thinking in times of crisis can be guilded onto safe ground. We don't have to be what we fear or what is clearly unrelated to ourselves. People hurt, because people feel. I understand that. Leaving room open for a neutral wave hello or goodbye is also something I wish was more accept these days. We've all got our own shit to clean up ourselves. Shit we never asked for, but still smells. Oh God, we live in a world where people aren't allowed to have shit they didn't ask for be in needed of cleaning. It's so tiring to keep worrying about shit made by this shitty world. When do we get to want what we actually want? When do we get to matter outside a profile of who we are? You hurt like we hurt and that's okey. We'll create better, then tell the fear to go fuck it's self, because it was never welcomed to begin with. We'll do what we can do as always. A strong will can be considered a superpower. Telling yourself what you want is good. I did that yesterday. Our own wants are as clear to us as the brick wall we call a fence at our elbows. It has it's place trying to keep us where we want to be. That gate you talked about is also clear. The two parties understand what it means. The trust must be renewed with acceptance, but never abused. It's honesty of the situation. I don't ask what happens in your house and you don't ask if I ran lights to deliver the good word. We do right by each other, then we leave to continue our day. I hope i'm not losing the truth of these things with all the stress of current events. I just feel like getting away from the news and problematic scares I don't anywhere near me. I keep trying to fix my shit, but it feels like I should stop everything, restart, and stop holding my breath for a verson of reality that isn't my own. Like you deal with what you can handle, but you cut the crap out better than I could. I want that. You don't dance to someone else's view of your life at all. You don't even look at them, because your busy doing your work. I miss that a lot and I want to get that back! It's just hard to keep having plate of food with stuff i might not want anymore. I need to remember what I actually like to eat rather then what looks good. Anyway, keep fighting out here like all of us! Getting it off your chest like we be doing. You're alright. 👍 ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaZrjlsVOJA COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaZrjlsVOJA&lc=Ugxxs3RgAHEmp4Io8-14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241211 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TheArceusftw AUTHOR_ID: UCynpVSnrzeDrdMqNSOHzCNQ TEXT: This seems like one of those "cycle of hurting" subconcious learned behaviors.

He described it as vehicular dialogue, meaning that it feels like the dialogue exists just to tell you what's happening to make sure you know what's going on to further the story. It doesn't feel like the kind of dialogue that actual people having a conversation have. It's kind of stilted and weird and like they had bullet points they had to hit but forgot to write the bits joining the points together to turn it into a conversation that feels natural. I love the Dragon Age series, but I've never played Bioware games for their combat. It was always the characters and stories that drew me in. So the fact that this one seems to have better combat than dialogue worries me. Also the fact that you actually cannot be mean or cruel or renegade AT ALL. I don't even play renegade and I think that's a massive misstep in a game that calls itself an RPG. And while I understand that it would be madness to expect them to include every single choice that could be made in Origins, 2, and Inquisition, the fact there are only 3 or so choices to set and they are most if not all from Inquisition is a disappointment. It's not a bad game, but it's not a 10/10. And it certainly isnt Bioware's "return to form" or "the best Bioware has ever been" as I've seen some reviews call it. It's fine. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwWIdm10dCI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwWIdm10dCI&lc=Ugzpfg_qlg2CRt31ZJd4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241108 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ShadowRohanX AUTHOR_ID: UCmZkqAoXNBU5RA2vAiGFYjQ TEXT: The Qunari changes are an attempt to appeal to the tiefling crowd and you can't convince me otherwise ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwWIdm10dCI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwWIdm10dCI&lc=UgyqAEd7qRY58ir-NH94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241108 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Tnu1138 AUTHOR_ID: UCvcDm_QxP2DHVVJzEpS4t0w TEXT: Witcher 2 sounds almost like eveyrthign ab otu real l ife htat I find stressful.

It is better than I thought it would be. As someone who has played Origins but not 2 or Inquisition, the distance from Origins feels great to me, but I think that helps me accept Veilguard as its own thing. The writing is all over the place. Sometimes, it hits well, and at other times, it makes me cringe. The game could have used a thorough examination by an editor who is both meticulous and vicious. Overall, the tone and level of maturity aren't far off from something like 1980s He-Man/She-Ra. Rather than feel like I'm leading a team through a grim, potentially world-ending disaster, I feel more like I'm Princess Adora/She-Ra leading a team of goofy companions against enemires that are a more competent version of Hordak, Skeletor, or Snidely Whiplash. It's a fun, low stress game, which is sometimes exactly what I'm looking for, but if I really want some serious Dragon Age, I'll play Origins again. As for the combat, I do not like action combat at all and would have preferred something like Origins or Baldur's Gate 1 and 2. That said, I commend BioWare for providing some of the best customization options I've seen in a game, covering not only combat (which I nerfed as thoroughly as possible to make it tolerable), but also navigation (which allowed me to turn off navigation aids, as I like a game to give me more friction there). All of these options make the game accessible to as many people as possible, including people who are utterly incapable of engaging with action combat systems that are more difficult and complex than Skyrim. Mouse/keyboard is a bit awkward at times, and I can tell that this game is designed for controllers. Unfortunately, I despise controllers, so I am stuck with mouse/keyboard. I also have to commend EA for getting away from the proprietary launcher/DRM. Because of this idiocy, I have actively boycotted EA games since before the disastrous launch of SimCity 2013, except for those that are available DRM-free on GOG (which includes Origins).

If you're having a surgical procedure done on you, you have access to medical treatment which is how you're getting surgery in the first place. So I would think such individuals would also have access to healing magic more likely. What's funny is, scars would have been more likely in earlier games with nearly all the mages being locked up in Circle towers ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwWIdm10dCI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwWIdm10dCI&lc=UgzZxNt91t3Vjxga2mB4AaABAg.AA_xB8e0zs8ACm3n6jrK6W UPLOAD DATE: 20241108 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @DevonBlack AUTHOR_ID: UCVqTjgsENA52g71rXLJP_ew TEXT:  @WideNerdy  Who's to say the scar had to come from actual surgery? Just because we call them surgery scars doesn't mean they have to be from professional surgery narratively - they don't even have to be about transitioning or non-binary. Nothing in the game ever calls it out, it's purely aesthetic. You could have been poor and got a friend to do it for you, did it yourself, or had to have it done because of an illness. It's weird to assume only the wealthy who could afford magic would have it done. Either magic is expensive and only the wealthy can afford to not have them thus leaving us with poor people who have scars or it's not a big enough deal for anyone to care enough in world to fix it ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwWIdm10dCI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwWIdm10dCI&lc=UgwXjELqko3uGJVQj-J4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241108 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @GarethOfByzantium AUTHOR_ID: UC-4q_I29Dc9eQRN1CqtAVTg TEXT: 9:25 OMG, they don’t have points allocation at all. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwWIdm10dCI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwWIdm10dCI&lc=UgxyYOrwzxpNSz9tN2x4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241108 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @GarethOfByzantium AUTHOR_ID: UC-4q_I29Dc9eQRN1CqtAVTg TEXT: 6:55 Well, they have existential fear from the terminal cancer that is EA. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwWIdm10dCI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwWIdm10dCI&lc=UgwyDkL7c4lJY4ukD6R4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241108 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @GarethOfByzantium AUTHOR_ID: UC-4q_I29Dc9eQRN1CqtAVTg TEXT: Veilguard’s existence is a spoiler for Inquisition. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwWIdm10dCI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwWIdm10dCI&lc=UgycLHeYr2VyZlACJwZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241108 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @GarethOfByzantium AUTHOR_ID: UC-4q_I29Dc9eQRN1CqtAVTg TEXT: 5:17 yes. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwWIdm10dCI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwWIdm10dCI&lc=UgyYs62GUb5AKgmIczd4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241108 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @GarethOfByzantium AUTHOR_ID: UC-4q_I29Dc9eQRN1CqtAVTg TEXT: 4:17 Diluting of the world building in Inquisition? ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwWIdm10dCI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwWIdm10dCI&lc=UgyKW5EZ1K8-2wnFHXB4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241108 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @GarethOfByzantium AUTHOR_ID: UC-4q_I29Dc9eQRN1CqtAVTg TEXT: 3:16 Yes.

The solution to harassment is the Sean Murray approach. When No Mans Sky came out and wasn't what was advertised and the studio face backlash he told the devs to just send any complaints or stuff they got about the game to him. He then compiled and looked over it all, filtered out the noise and made a plan based on picking out the actual points and feedback. He then got the team to work to prove people wrong and instead as plenty do of playing the victim he decided prove people wrong. Years of free updates on and he has people now telling him in massive numbers they want to pay him for something now because these expansions have gone above and beyond what was promised and they now feel bad that they're getting more and more added for free. But that doesn't instantly stop the harassment or create a nice media narrative like some-one tried to do to own "the entitled Gamers™" by claiming to be an EA Dice developer getting death threats due to Battlefront 2 Lootboxes. Only for Jason Schrier of all people to write an article exposing them as fake and basically calling out the other outlets for not even bothering to do basic verification that the person even worked at DICE. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_lOPGx4Kas COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_lOPGx4Kas&lc=Ugxv6htHetZ0JkzCrM94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250515 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Dwavenhobble AUTHOR_ID: UCSe3Phjrbm5DiAZbTeJka1Q TEXT: God damn youtube, I post a comment saying I agree with a point you made Liana and it filed it in the bin lol.

I have a friend who is an avid reader. And when she gets recommended a series, she’ll usually start with the most recent novel. And when I found that out, I asked her if she was bothered by all of the backstory and references she’s missing. And she said that if the book isn’t good with all that stripped away, it’s just not a good book. And while I’m someone who prefers to start things from the beginning, I do implement a bit of what she says as well. If I see something I’m gonna enjoy, I’ll allow myself to indulge in it even if there are nuances I’m not picking up on. As someone who’s played all the preceding Yakuza games and has started Pirate Yakuza, I think that the fact that the first trailer for the game spoiled endgame plotwists from Infinite Wealth indicates that Sega and RGG really don’t care if you’ve played all the other games or not. If you want to play this game, play this game. And I think that’s valid. Yes, previous games impact this one. But Majima is always Majima.

You don't need to play any RGG game to understand the one you're playing. Especially with the soft reset that's Ichiban's games. Yeah, you miss easter eggs, but the stories stand up by themselves. "Like a Dragon: Ishin!" and "Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth" are great examples. The average gamer can enjoy "Ishin!" as the fun samurai beat-'em-up it is; long-time fans get a kick out of the historical characters being played by characters in the game series. As for "Infinite Wealth", there's a side-mission with Kiryu that involves looking back at his many adventures. The average gamer would think, "Wow, he's done a lot," whereas long-time fans would think, "Wow, I've done a lot." So enjoy "Pirate Yakuza" burden-free. P.S., RGG has a "problem" with DLC, in that the games they plan to be DLC end up being full games ("The Man Who Erased His Name" and "Pirate Yakuza"). ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v3_Pg7hq3Y COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v3_Pg7hq3Y&lc=UgxCpvq2YskhfL0lF8R4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250304 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @thelastgogeta AUTHOR_ID: UC3zk7MHTUkFyiRIr-TLs_Hg TEXT: It isn't impossible for SEGA/LAD Studio to make a decent video summary of Majima's misadventures which leaves a few teases for 0 and other games without spoiling them... I just can't say I'd trust it without being into the series in advance.

I think fans could do a good summary video on those lines, but besides most fans only having played games from 0 (which came out after 5) and given the length of the games, it is pretty narrow range of people who could do that and a decent amount of work to produce. That being said, fans are the only ones who will recommend the best versions of the games, mods to get over issues or niche releases which may be of interest.

We will have to see what they do with the Sonic movies and spin-offs. If you can watch the movies and never touch the knuckles series without getting lost in them, then it should be fine. Another issue I wish I touched upon now is that with older games, it can be difficult to get your hands on them and consoles able to play them. Not without PC emulators. And a gaming rig is expensive in both the long and short run. Not to mention, not everybody has the time or patience it takes to learn how to set them up and upgrade them. Devil May Cry is a series in which you don't have to play the original games to understand the others. (At least in my experience.) But if you want to, then you can either start with the first game, start with 3, or any game you want. This is easier with the HD collection being the first three games being re-released on the latest consoles and PC as well as 4 Special Edition. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v3_Pg7hq3Y COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v3_Pg7hq3Y&lc=Ugzd9kNJy41Rka5bGuB4AaABAg.AFFlngD4buSAFHNlDrpMvo UPLOAD DATE: 20250304 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @thelastgogeta AUTHOR_ID: UC3zk7MHTUkFyiRIr-TLs_Hg TEXT: @nathanallingham9014  Yeah, I only saw Sonic movies 1 and 2 prior to 3.

It is very true that getting the hardware to play older games can be a pain as copies/consoles can be rare if even existance in your region... That's the nature of video games unfortunately. It is a cursed medium, but a bit of persistence does pay off. I'm looking into getting a modded PS2 and Xbox 360 with emulation covering the rest of my interests.

I am clearing the game on hard at the moment and I am wondering if I should've tried nightmare, because hard feels far to easy to me now. And I think a lot of the veteran replayers who learned the orbment system and battle-delicacies over the course of replaying all 3(!) of the games are in a similar boat. They are used to the most advanced tactics and grinding strategies, because you kind of need those for higher(!) difficulty. Here is the thing though: I don't think the games were designed with the intent of having to understand the orbment system or any of the further strategies on normal (not until the last chapter if ever). Us veteran replayers completely forgot that the first 4 chapters are built with very slow access to higher orbment unlock functionality. Sure you CAN unlock AoE-effect and death-chance spells in the prologue. On normal difficulty it is not required. You can easily play far into the last chapter without getting deep into the system. The slowly advancing access to new higher leveled quarzes will automatically unlock more spells. You DO NOT NEED GUIDES. I repeat. You DO NOT NEED guides to play on normal. The game automatically increases difficulty on its own and some optional side quests or chest-fights aside there is rarely anything locking you from following the main story. In my memory there is only one mandatory boss battle that really challenged me on my no clues first playthrough and that one is way late in the last chapter. So yeah, I fear you are on to something with the modern type of hyper-fan being the worst at introducing new players to anything. We literally go against the way many of these games were intended and then end up stressing if not scaring out new players. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v3_Pg7hq3Y COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v3_Pg7hq3Y&lc=Ugz7V2UE9Z2Dadw112d4AaABAg.AFFhHg3vNdCAFFjA5bf6dC UPLOAD DATE: 20250304 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @KroganCharr AUTHOR_ID: UC4reDZpUcWEdWHu-Fs3gLPw TEXT: Liana also mentioned this: It matters that Estelle is the protagonist.

Otherwise, yeah it does drive me up a wall when stories rely on the notion of "You need to be caught up to speed, that means going back and playing every other game in the series and needing to consume mounds of supplementary material to fully comprehend the story, otherwise you're SOL". Seriously, I totally agree that it wouldn't hurt for the people who actually write these stories to do a sparknotes version of the story so far to get any newcomers up to speed. Especially with a franchise that doesn't have a cohesive timeline, and relies heavily on fan speculation to do all the heavy lifting for them. I'm not asking to have the entire story from beginning to end to be spoonfed to us, at the same time, not everyone has the time or energy to invest hours upon hours into multiple games. A happy balance is all I'm asking for. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v3_Pg7hq3Y COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v3_Pg7hq3Y&lc=Ugzwo1LjT9QrEjSRNqB4AaABAg.AFFaZl_9MkaAFRSoD6L_qW UPLOAD DATE: 20250304 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Solus749 AUTHOR_ID: UCf1wJ7Zh-tJT_xAnA3hZyKg TEXT: final fantasy 7 remake series needs it too, so many things in the games are "this is what happend in the orginal but psyche maybe this happen...nah this happen right" and other callouts only confusing new players, it being sold in parts and the combat being changed to a action system didn't exactly help it either.

There are limits to what they can do because Falcom is a fairly small company with limited resources, and it does have a single overarching story over a dozen games now, even though they are split into mostly independent arcs of two to four games. In the latest game, Daybreak 2, they put a whole intro movie to summarize the events of Daybreak 1, and it's a series standard now to feature an ingame glossary to look up characters and other terms. I'm glad that you assume the best intentions in over-excited fans. I do as well.

I am a huge trails fan and there is a lot of strong opinions in the series. Trails in the sky is awesome and I am hoping you can get through it. Trails is a game and should be treated as such. Can you play it with a super completionist mentality yes. I agree that you shouldn't need a guide to play a game. If you want to replay with a guide that is more reasonable. No matter what you do in the Sky games you will miss dialog and likely some little hidden things here and there as it is such an intricate game. Trust me in that you will still get the story and the character development without every little side quest and dialog option. Luckily there is no good and bad endings to the sky games. The trails games have a habit of fighting over where to start. Only true rule is to start on an arc that looks good to you and only start with the first game of the arc. Trails tend to have some cliffhanger endings within each arc so that may be an issue. As a huge falcom fan I just hope more people play it and enjoy it so we get more games! As for Yakuza series. I never played a yakuza game until Like a dragon and Infinite wealth. If the pirate game looks like fun I say go for it! Have fun and enjoy it. Will you miss a few references yea sure but it should still be fun enough to play either way especially if you love the character. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v3_Pg7hq3Y COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v3_Pg7hq3Y&lc=UgwTLy2Sxhl2lFuw3vN4AaABAg.AFFTCNiXvF6AFFewPJkV6N UPLOAD DATE: 20250304 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Tnu1138 AUTHOR_ID: UCvcDm_QxP2DHVVJzEpS4t0w TEXT: I was pretty dead set on her starting with Sky because Estelle reminds me so much of Liana. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v3_Pg7hq3Y COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v3_Pg7hq3Y&lc=UgwTLy2Sxhl2lFuw3vN4AaABAg.AFFTCNiXvF6AFFlnyHqFPk UPLOAD DATE: 20250304 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @xalin73 AUTHOR_ID: UCKVoJwBABdubJELbTavL2hw TEXT:  @Tnu1138  I think that sky is a good place also as Estelle is the best as are the rest of the cast they are so great all together.

It's just they don't often have very prolonged or severe reactions (disclaimer: to be clear, this isn't to say that this is always the case, as Liana mentioned, people don't all neatly fit into each category, or react accordingly at all times). Starting with real young kids as an example, if mom/dad leaves a securely attached kid with a different, less familiar caregiver, it's reasonable that the kid will cry about it for a bit. However, they will calm down relatively soon after, act typically with the caregiver while they are in their care, and be happy when the mom/dad returns. Turning to media, someone securely attached can get mad/sad/upset if something they don't like happens with their favorite bit of media. That's normal. If someone else were to experience the same thing, and decided they need to send death threats to the people involved with the bit of media they like/devote as much time and energy as they can to hounding those folks, or anyone that seems to like what went down. They're probably not securely attached, at least not to that bit of media. It's not about not having ANY reactions, but having the reactions be in proportion with the stimulus and then being able to function regularly afterward. To loop back to the video about men being held to some unhealthy expectations by themselves and others, I feel like people in general expect that we, in general, shouldn't display any passionate reactions. While it's not great to have extreme reactions ALL the time/a majority of the time, it's also not good to have no reactions at all, or be unable to outwardly display your emotions, either. Granted, I suppose there could be confounds related to what are the generally accepted bounds for reactions. As Liana has mentioned a few times, such can change depending on one's own characteristics, and what environment/culture they're in. Even the stimulus itself can have an effect on what reactions are viewed as acceptable too. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBDGeNtEdA8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBDGeNtEdA8&lc=UgxecyASFfXcA0Hgx414AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250819 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @JadeGolem-du2dx AUTHOR_ID: UCa1Bm3Q-dcg0V7lDdTxy0VA TEXT: 20:00 "Economics is the method.

You are not them, so what do you need to do to balance your moment before hand?

Where you develop this sort of parasocial ovsession with a game to the point where it becomes a comfort where it's easier to escape to a fantasy world than deal with your problems head on. And this a case of some slimey self-help guru preaching about "Society has a dopamine problem, and I'm the only one who can solve it". I'm just speaking from a combination of patterns i've observed from other people, and personal life experiences. Mainly because I describe myself as an antisocial shut in. Alot of it steming from again, feeling like I don't fit in anywhere, feeling surrounded by fake people, and being sheltered growing up. When I'm off the clock, I more or less retreat into my room and just get completely lost in a game, or in my own imagination. At the same time, I'm not so out of touch from reality to act like the fantasy world is the only one that matters. I know My Pokemon or my Animal Crossing villagers aren't real, the same why I know my Stuffed animals aren't real. (Even if I believe that my Dead dog lives on as a Lucario.)

Now it's gotten to the point where I'm utmost certain that people care less about integrity, and more about feeling validated on whatever side of the arguement they're on Doesn't help that when you added alot of the culture war talk into the mix, the whole thing basically became the equivalant of throwing a matchstick into a pile of manure. And there's no one entity to blame, it's basically a microcosm, and perfect storm of all the worst aspects of the gaming industry(Corporate shadiness, tribalism, parasocial levels of brand loyalty, etc.) snowballing out of control. And I just find it really discouraging that we can't just all sit down and have a reasonable conversation about it without alot of people shouting past eachother, and making alot of bold generalizations about people who aren't on their side of the fence.

I think my position is somewhat in like with yours Liana, I believe everything has a right to exist and in an ideal world it could exist / should be able to exist but this is not an idea world and the current games funding model is seeing funding shrink because it was another investor bubble like comics were so there's less funding to go round and games that lean more into the "Woke" side aren't justifying their costs. Do I think they should go away? No but I do think there's a lesson to be learned in regards to scale here with the more vocal activists online talking a big game about said media then getting mad when things they want don't sell well be in people blaming men for the latest Charlie's Angels reboot failing or Tale of Tales blaming Gamers for them having to shut down when their latest game didn't sell well enough it's gone from people believing everything should have the right to exist to everything should have the right to other peoples money and they're obliged to support it or they're the villains which is the issue. I say this as some-one who bought a game about revolutions featuring one of the stories about force marriage in India (the game is called Unrest for those who care and it's shockingly good for a near no budget game made by a tiny new studio) but if the scale isn't there this stuff starts to look propped up and that leads into the point of people feeling left behind. The "People feeling left behind" thing you brought up. I mean it happens, the current problem I think is the scale of it happening and people being told "This isn't for you now it's ours" often by people who seem like they don't know much it's like how suddenly a load of Hipsters loved Coldplay and then no-one wanted to say they liked Coldplay because the Hipsters were awful around it. Or suddenly a load of Hipsters got into Gin and now I feel like I'm being grouped in with said overly lets say passive aggressive pretentious crowd when I order a Gin. When for me I got into Gin because I saw a ad with Philip Glenister (UK Life on Mar's Gene Hunt) and figured why not try Gin, because a lot of clubs and bars I was going out to were awful when it came to doing pints of Cider or Beer and I wanted to find a mostly unable to screw up alcoholic drink I could drink places, and Gin turned out to be that + with few people drinking it Gin at the time was super cheap. So back to the point, with so many people feeling left behind by so much and some rights holders or creators more explicitly telling people it's not for them anymore people feel they're being turfed out of more places at once for people who claim to want the thing but will vanish quickly. It's like how there was the push for a Female James Bond whole Atomic Blonde was in cinemas and Atomic Blonde didn't perform that well, I'd like more Atomic Blonde films please but it didn't get deemed enough of a success to become a franchise. Being left behind is an issue when people look back at where they left and see the new audience vanishing too mostly and the thing falling to be a desolate wasteland again from what it was built back up from by the people now being told they're not wanted. Also then said people feel they have less and less places they can be. Leading on from the being left behind part of the other issue is the current social structures in society are clout based seemingly and people don't want to be left out of the proverbial watercooler talks in the office about the latest must see thing but there's little room for talks about other cool things as even online talking about the popular thing gets people noticed so they talk about it too which with an ever more connected world is leading to people talking about the thing in real life because it's so prevalent online it gets the attention. I mean I'd love to talk to people at work about The Boarding School Las Cumbres or the show My Undead Yokai Girlfriend but others aren't watching them because with their limited free time they want to watch the thing seemingly popular online because they rightly or wrongly believe it will have a certain quality level while trying something new untested or only tested by a few is a risk people don't want to take so much. Add to this the feelings of increase isolation happening in the world and people aren't going to want to try new stuff because they they can't even socialise as much at work or online because they watched the wrong thing. On Woke for me it comes down to a writing issue with identarian political ideology where it's the idea of a certain class being included meaning the thing can't be criticised or can't be criticised by certain people. E.G. The seemingly lack of acknowledgement that Bill in Doctor Who was kind of a 2 note companion, she was a lesbian (as the show found a reason to bring up every episode one way or another) and she's a person of colour which came up a couple of times. Meanwhile even though I don't think many people would have Martha Jones as one of their favourite companions they don't hate her either because she did seem to have a character (also can we point out it's kinda felt weird that two of the first people of colour in main roles in New Who ended up being paired together as a couple in the end even if I still want Martha and Mickey Alien Hunters to be a show). Woke feels hollow and poorly written to me but people rush to defend it because of the identity not quality. I think if the Doctor in Mass effect Andromeda hadn't initially said she was Trans to start with people wouldn't have been so bothered by it and even less so if they'd fitted more of an explanation into the lore that made some sense like say she bypassed the screening somehow knowing it was meant to be basically setting up a new Human home but it wouldn't matter if one person there couldn't have kids or se dreamed to see the starts and so took her chance. The other issue I take with woke is again poor writing related but it's their tendency to put in strawmen enemies who they feel their against who rather than fit into the plot well feel like just taking shots at people they dislike in real life; as an example in the Doctor Who Rosa Parks episode the future space racist who when you stop and thing seems to make almost no logical sense considering he's like an old school kind of racist the kind who have mostly died out already mostly so how in over a millennium later does said attitude still exist, the show never explains it. Or Black Sails where the show expected the audience to be shocked when a certain character in what is basically Game of Thrones by Pirates is revealed to be gay as though it's meant to be shocking to an audience who think all gay people are a certain way and if you don't think that, the big shock twist falls flat. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mTXg0l4FVo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mTXg0l4FVo&lc=UgzT7ozXTmFjMsLnFzZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250722 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Dwavenhobble AUTHOR_ID: UCSe3Phjrbm5DiAZbTeJka1Q TEXT: On Kojima, Quiet etc. I really did get surprised how many people came out against Quiet and were on about how stupid she was on the whole Skin Breathing thing when yeh insects breath through their skin (If people want to argue technical I know spiracles etc etc) but it makes some sense in the sort of Sci-Fi justified way . As for Dancing in the rain. I do wonder if that's something Kojima has borrowed from Bollywood films but adapted his own way which in Bollywood they pass off as being about monsoon season which is a thing in India but also it's used a lot because it's about more primal elements and in Bollywood due to the ban on nudity / overly sexy stuff the director / studio can go "Oh dear the actress was caught in monsoon season rains and we had to keep filming to get the shots how unfortunate that her wet clothes ended up clinging to her body to highlight aspects of it more" and this kind of thing with water has a lot of bits in Western Cinema going back to Honey Ryder coming out of the seas in the first ever James Bond film.

All you mentioned will still be possible if it goes through. However, EVERY EU initiative has to factor in that the best it can achieve is a compromise. If you try to compromise from the start, the compromise that's coming out in the end is even farther from your position. There's a LONG way from "this is a one-off experience because that's the art" to "even though it's technically possible, we won't allow this game to be played after the sequel is out because of DRM BS". In your example, you aren't allowed to take home a life concert, but you can chose whether you want to see the artist life, or buy their CDs (yes, I AM GenX). That said, a talk between you and the SKG initiator would IMO be a really interesting discussion, ESPECIALLY if it's not a "one off life thing", but you are allowed to re-visit it offline. ;-P ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mTXg0l4FVo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mTXg0l4FVo&lc=UgzRn21KEfz0g0mSvO14AaABAg.AKutAINvXn9AKvY5OADCWh UPLOAD DATE: 20250722 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: When I see that on the SKG website I will believe it.

So if you make an European Plebiscite, you are lobbying a lobby to lobby on your behalf, while other lobbies (like the game publishers) are lobbying against you before the PE and later EU Council and EU Commission. That's the reason why it would be wrong to amend anything. What's demanded is NOT what will be made into law. If you want to sell a car, you also cannot go "Realistically, it's worth €1,500", but "This is the a wonderful car, this is a beautiful car, and I'm selling it for €2,500.- - and, I'm cutting my own throat here, but I'll sell to you for €2,000!" Then, you close at €1,300-1,500 "in the middle". Perhaps if it were a Québecquois initiative it could voice its demands without negotiation margins, but not in the EU. Our petition systems (even the national ones) don't work that way. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mTXg0l4FVo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mTXg0l4FVo&lc=UgzRn21KEfz0g0mSvO14AaABAg.AKutAINvXn9AKy72d6uPC8 UPLOAD DATE: 20250722 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @enysuntra1347 AUTHOR_ID: UCE8biJmvOTvCIrC5_CcoWvg TEXT: ​ @RedLianaK SKG is an initiative in the EU, not USA.

EU law is very prone to industrial lobbies, and the Parlement Européen has no right to introduce legislation. All they can do is voice that the European Citzens are in favour of a law being introduced, eg by the Commission. Imagine PE less as a legislative body and more as a lobby - they CAN deliberate and reject legislation that is PRESENTED to them by Commission or EU Council, but only lobby those to introduce legislation in the first place. You don't go into a car sale "Well, realistically, I think €1,500 is a fair price", you go in with "I want €2,500; and as you look sympathetic, I am going to cut my own throat and say, €2,000." In the end, you close at 1,300-1,500. Also, there is nothing to "circumvent". Game companies want to sell in the EU, 'ricain rulings don't apply. If Belgium declares loot boxes illegal gambling, US courts can rule to their hearts' content than loot boxes are "protected free speech", they fall under Belgian anti-gambling laws. It should tell you a bit about game publishers' lobby power that it's as of yet only in Belgium; or that Apple could ignore rulings and still sell in the EU for years until they got a slap on the wrist. It may be SKG would be problematic as a Québecquois petition, but for the EU legislative process, it is adæquate so that perhaps, perhaps you can still play a gaming DVD even after publishers shut down DRM. Let's face it, EA or Ubisoft or MS/Activision aren't Banksy, and are doing their best to again lose their classification of computer games as "art" they just got. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mTXg0l4FVo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mTXg0l4FVo&lc=UgxFA_2Lc9naw1MamBB4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250722 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @eyezerocool AUTHOR_ID: UCvhvD480jaXZzYAh543kLpA TEXT: Ty.

Hell, just thinking of recent specific Steam games getting banned for taboo stuff and the group who started it being anti sex and anti women choice really makes me think a ton of people in the sphere of like, controlling what art should be are aggressive rage baiters and grifters. With great art sure, comes a responsibility to do subjects justice, but. I believe games can more often than not have the ability to give meaning to those who went through harsh shit or give em stuff to think about. Just think of all the losers who probably would wanna ban Berserk over just mentioning characters like Casca and Guts went through traumatic experiences like rape and neglect. I'm more someone who believes the idea of banning in a free market absolutely despicable. We can judge execution of certain ideas, but the ideas should be depicted if we believe media is art. That's my 2 cents. Women are complicated. And deserve a lot of that autonomy in art to be more than just a few "acceptable" archetypes. Personally I see SKG as not grifting. I feel bad Ross got attacked anonymously recently and making false allegations of them. Really, when you mentioned Splatfest I guess it depends on how we define preserving. I don't really need Splatfest or specific events to be preserved. Just given approximated that can keep a game in a functional state. Not in a complete state. So that's where we may not see eye to eye on it. I cannot really vote the EU Petition so I can only say that these things for that will take time. And I mainly hope best for SKG.

"Life cannot be contained. It crashes through barriers painfully, maybe even dangerously." I can see a similar saying in my head: "Artistic expression cannot be contained. It crashes through barriers illegally. Maybe even violently." I doubt I am the only one who thinks this. I think that gaming is being attacked because it is perceived as an easy target. There are no perceived risks in attacking it. It is a start to spread influence and forced control. Choose specific things that the majority in and out of the space can agree on. And if you don't, there is something wrong with you in the eyes of many. Regardless of what you say. Then, when one victory is made, go further and further as much as possible. Never mind the long term. Think in the short term. And the artist will be under attack from everyone as a scapegoat. As well as anyone caught purchasing the content. It seems similar to prohibition, which started with "the Temperance Movement." On paper, the Temperance Movement sounds like it should be a good thing by name alone. But, in practice. It led to one thing, which led to another thing. Which did more damage long-term. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mTXg0l4FVo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mTXg0l4FVo&lc=UgwO26D9GuTGCexnSs14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250722 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TheArceusftw AUTHOR_ID: UCynpVSnrzeDrdMqNSOHzCNQ TEXT: At this point wether or not the comments section devolves into a incoherent mess of shouting and petty insults should be a litmus test of who actually watched the video to the end, vs people who had a kneejerk reaction and immediately fly off the handle and jump to conclusions. (Although, Occam's razor is pretty much in effect, and going "Sir this is an Arby's" is often the best response to these types of people.) Likewise, I haven't really considered stuff like the Splatfests in the Splatoon games when it comes to live services. Those sort of unique experiences from these heavily online multiplayer centric games do raise an interesting connundrum when it comes to consumer rights and artistic freedom. Where the question lies on "Where do we draw the line?" Likewise I totally agree that Free Market Capitalism is a necessity when it comes to fostering artistic freedom. Unfortunately, any sort of nuaned conversation about capitalism that isn't just "Captialism bad" tends to rile up the armchair socialists, and you get immediately accuesed of kowtowing to the status quo.(Then again, do you really expect rational thought from people who just mindlessly parrot BreadTube talking points?) On top of that, I 100% agree that coersion tactics is the big problem with the hardline left. Where you're pretty much spot on with your observation where game designers are more or lessed forcefull pidgeonholed into this very narrow standard of female expression in media. Where it's basically the heavily infantilized defenseless trophy victim that paradoxically is antithetical to the idea of women having more agency in there roles.(For an added dose of irony, these people are the same people who condemn Princess Peach and other damsel characters for reinforcing restrictive gender roles.) Again going against the Idea of artistic freedom. Unfortunately, the minute you call that out, you get lumped in with the anti woke crowd who have a meltdown over the sight of a woman in gaming that isn't bare minimum Mai Shiranui levels of attractive, and get branded either an "Entitled incel gooner who's just upset he doesn't have a waifu to oggle", or a "Pickme cool girl okay with misogyny". Again, the only way for us to have a meaningful conversation about these things is to tune out of the grifting, baseless shouting matches, "Autobots vs Decepticons", "Coke vs Pepsi" "SNES vs Genesis" tribalism, and all the nastiness, and have a reasonable nuanced conversation with people who have the restraint and emotional maturity to not immediately fly off the handle whenever a point that's anithetical to their beliefs comes to attention. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mTXg0l4FVo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mTXg0l4FVo&lc=UgxH5UhPZYDGdr43hJN4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250722 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @babykosh5415 AUTHOR_ID: UCkUNmfSbEFYw3KDYCeT46UQ TEXT: Have the people playing games.

Can a person who holds beliefs of Misandry, Misogyny, or Racism see people that they see as subhuman as peers or equals? Can a woman misandrist see a man a predator as their peer? Can a Male Misogynist see a woman a sex object as the their peer? Can a white racist see a colored person a subhuman as their peer? "none of these are beliefs I hold. I am describing these perspectives as I understand them." "Why I am asking this question. not that important." I am watching a woman youtuber with a six figure channel. It is basically she looks through extreme opinions on reddit, Twitter and other places to talk about it and give her opinions on them with a lot of moral grandeur about it. To me it seems all harmless fun for the most part for a woman audience. Then on one video she says how she get's comments about being misandrist from men and she thinks she is and "how can she not be when this is what men bring to a table." her quote. This coming from a youtuber who chooses to make 1/4 to 1/3 of her content about the absolute worst things men do. Not that she is wrong but you are also the one who chooses to stare into the abyss and not look away of course your going to develop misandrist beliefs when you look for only the worst things men can do for content. I can't help but think If I were to run into a woman with misandrist beliefs like that at a public place. She would view me first as a predator then maybe a human second. Even if we talked and got to know each other and became friends or something along those Lines she is a misandrist I am a man and she would still view me as a predator at the end of the day before a human being.

Like I said, there are plenty of studies. There is a vast amount of statistical evidence showing a higher rate of rape-related pregnancies compared to controlled averages. Yes, there are a few studies that disagree with the findings, but only in the context of interpretation or causation. For example, some researchers argue that the acute stress of sexual assault may trigger ovulation (because some studies show that luteinizing hormones can be affected by the production of cortisol). The data itself is not wrong, though. Like I said, there are several theoretical frameworks as to why this happens. Two: I never said that "pheromones make men commit assault". That would be an absurd statement to make and an even more absurd conclusion to draw from what I said. This type of bad faith argumentation is beneath you, and I am frankly disappointed that you would stoop so low. The fact that you went there is... well, pathetic. Three: Stop deflecting from the issue at hand. The aphorism you perpetuate has been debunked ages ago. There is zero evidence in support of the claim that sexual assault is not about sex. There are statistical studies, psychological studies, neurobiological studies, all showing the opposite. For example, there is a strong link between sexual shame and propensity for sexual assault. Sexual priming lowers social inhibitions and empathy. There is also plenty of evidence that many animal species commit rape, and they certainly don't do it for power. Your claim is purely ideological, not scientific. In conclusion: Maybe you should listen to your own advice and not say stuff like that in public. You've always had difficulty accepting criticism, and I'm sorry to see that you've only gotten worse over the years. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pb_oim31yk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pb_oim31yk&lc=UgwzO_DMQsFXxOGyGLR4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250729 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Timstinkering-q4e AUTHOR_ID: UCIC7lK0P-VXjAwMO_E7Va2g TEXT: This was a very insightful video to listen too, thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pb_oim31yk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pb_oim31yk&lc=UgzEKgnbQavFtZ6fPc94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250729 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: Good work today!

They get attention and manage to get their way so often because they are disproportionately loud and engage in activism, which makes them appear more numerous than they actually are. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pb_oim31yk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pb_oim31yk&lc=UgzxXAFUqKqdOkbpPOB4AaABAg.ALAd7Gbfm0bALTgkd09Oze UPLOAD DATE: 20250729 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @marianaguardiaa.k.amariana4780 AUTHOR_ID: UCXw5R0X5HSXRxHwHfRJH5Ng TEXT: That's true but i don't believe that this group it's christian (I mean, God hates blasphemous and zaffaronists, this group defend "Cuties" a criminal movie that do minor Corruption, a serious crime in many countries) ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pb_oim31yk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pb_oim31yk&lc=UgyslX28jr2pURpiyX94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250729 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @FinGeek4now AUTHOR_ID: UCIjizDXNomknFPKXLqvtTFg TEXT: Sure, I'm a gamer, but I'm also an author.

Will I be able to sell my novels? Amazon, Payment Processors, and the #CollectiveKarens do NOT care about context, they only care that it features "violence against women". So okay... I suppose the books I sell I'll "censor" them and make all of the names into male names and change the pronouns around - while at the very beginning of the book telling the reader about the censorship and why - as well as a link to the uncensored version they can get for free so that the damn stories actually make sense. The only thing I can think of is that these so-called #Feminists don't think that woman are capable of becoming heroines and should stay at home, cook and clean and raise the 4.23 children that she has by "the hero". ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pb_oim31yk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pb_oim31yk&lc=UgzkLk_F-5pIE8MHM8d4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250729 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Zarnagel AUTHOR_ID: UCqf_AK3c51fGXLnCc2cQDVg TEXT: Very nice dismantling of their arguments! ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pb_oim31yk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pb_oim31yk&lc=Ugy8n8U0RmPzqCi-bvh4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250729 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @qwerty4324ify AUTHOR_ID: UCgSUeMHj5UPa72mujYPnXmQ TEXT: At some point the label "feminist" ceases to have meaning.

I'm not gonna be infantilized by other women for the sake of "the sisterhood". Granted, I don't get the appeal of step family stuff but I'm not gonna say one who likes it is inherently sick (mainly because it ain't my business). Granted, one could make the argument that my lack of care is "pro incest" even if I find VC Andrews work icky. Hell, why not bring the Bible into the conversation of incest glorification? On the other hand, I don't judge others cause I don't want judgement to show up at my house and call me a hypocrite. I don't claim to be squeaky clean myself (pretty sure liking Randy Spears' voice that I heard in an episode of American Dad would make me a hypocrite. I await my talk from Collective Shout calling me a "gender traitor" over "90s era dirty movie man's voice go brrr". Ditto with liking mustaches). I do have a genuine question for the Shout of Collective. What about art where the subject is a nude man? I'm genuinely curious. (For the record, regardless of genetic makeup. Every man gets a seven incher. Mainly because I don't believe in size stereotypes based on race). I've said this in regards to clothes. The clothes don't make the person, their character makes the person. In regards to Gen Z dating. Speaking as someone who is elder gen Z, I dislike that my lack of dating experience is equated to abstinence. Shit, I've gotten rejected for this very reason because "you need real love" because apparently having needs is wrong unless you have a government sanctioned piece of paper to signifiy matrimony. Though it's a blessing in disguise because if I have to hear a talk about organ harvesting one more time, I'm gonna scream! Hell, I have sex positive adjacent feelings but I hide it out of I'm not gonna get called "dirty" and I gotta trust that I'm not gonna get judgment thrown my way (whether it's for religion or equating sex negative feminism as real feminism and thinking I subscribe to that thought only because woman is irrelevant). But in turn, "you're too innocent for a real loving relationship". disgruntled screaming Fuck the Madonna harlot dichotomy and I hate it worse than AM from I Have No Mouth And I Muat Scream hates humanity. Relationship hangup aside, I think Collective Shout unironically reinforces that "women are a hivemind" rather than women are individuals. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pb_oim31yk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pb_oim31yk&lc=Ugw8Im9VHXcczlsWMhZ4AaABAg.ALA3pFikiGyALATLsqo2Gb UPLOAD DATE: 20250729 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: Yeah I agree with you.

This subset of millitant Sex negative Dwork Sided feminism is no different than the hardline puritanical Christians that condemn any sort of "Sexual deviancy"(Read; anything that isn't a straight cisgender couple making babies). It's funny, these are the same people who want to champion women's liberation and protecting women so much, the paradoxially end up looping back and reinforcing systems that end up robbing women of their agency, and forcing them into these boxes. It's the one-two punch of purity culture, and the trophy victim effect. All this push to supress games like No Mercy under pretences of "preventing the harm of women", is basically no different then all the parent groups and Politicians and talking heads on the right who blame video games for violence. It was the same thing back during the Feminist Frequency days. All it is is just the "Video games are the root cause of society ills" arguement again and again but with a different coat of paint. And the make matters worse, these people have made it so that anyone who points this out is just dismissed as "Playing the Jack Tompson card to shut down any sort of criticism from a Feminist lense", and accused of being just "Another entitled neckbeard incel who's just mad that he doesn't have a waifu to oggle", and/or a "Misogynist gatekeeper who just looking for an excuse to complain about feminists 'bulldozing nerd spaces', or a "Pickme cool girl okay with sexism". These people who are quick to accuse anyone who disagrees with them of arguing in bad faith and invoking thought terminating cliches, are ironically also invoking thought terminating cliches by invoking alot as well as falling back on the Appeal to motive fallacy to dismiss any sort of disenting viewpoint. I can't believe we still need to have this conversation in the Year of our Lord 2025. Again, if violent video games don't make a person violent, the depiction of Sexual assault in video games won't make a man go out and sexually assault women. And if a game does influence someone to commit such deplorable acts, likelihood is; that was someone who was already predisposed to do it anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pb_oim31yk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pb_oim31yk&lc=Ugxzaz7TJsNxUDH9hYd4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250729 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @moonstruck4276 AUTHOR_ID: UCKb3X7pv93baFWdybMDCbzQ TEXT: More comments to make this go farther. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pb_oim31yk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pb_oim31yk&lc=UgwNxME-_MGXZJt-lHB4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250729 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @odysseus9672 AUTHOR_ID: UCWU5L6h6X_J4NrFQoTUY3SQ TEXT: You like short bald guys?

Where it strattles the line from "Doing what you can to help out those in need", to "reducing yourself to a sacrificial pawn and blindly leaping for the sake of someone who clearly doesn't have your best intentions in mind". It shouldn't be seen as unreasonable to not blindly toss away whatever shred of diginity you have just to appease others. Unfortunately, the fear of being labelled as "selfish" has been seen as a cudgle to use against those who refuse to capitulate. The whole thing is emblematic of a lot of greater problems with how therapy speak has been weaponized by bad actors, as well as the demonization of individualism in alot of political spaces. This is why I accepted that Both the likelihood hardline Left and Right hate my guts. Where I have the constant hardline Left subjecting me to constant purity tests while those higher up on the food chain get away with genuinely heinous crimes. And thnk I'm not a "true leftist" because I'm not 100% in lockstep with every tankie communist slogan and dare to be privy of USSR/CCP/Hamas apologia. And I have the hardline Right who treat see me as a subhuman because factors beyond my control(Being Black, Autistic, and Bi-romantic Asexual.(Or just a very repressed Bisexual, I'm still flipfloping on that.)), and because I refuse to bend the knee to the Alter of King John's Humansona. All this to say, I wear the "Cowardly neo-liberal fence sitter centrist" label as a self-depricating badge of honor. But in all seriousness, it's important to not get hung up with whatever bogus labels you get slapped with, and be greatful to have people in your life that genuinely give a care about you, and respect your own self-interests. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDcwGouOx08 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDcwGouOx08&lc=UgzI2kX0EzCc6jZcJt94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260126 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-01 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Baconlazer AUTHOR_ID: UCh5JW75fnMKOKN6q_LA0i_Q TEXT: There's a surprisingly a lot of stories and moments we can definitely learn from 40k that can help make us better people and take inspirations from.

I mean it in a big picture/take a step back kind of way (I'm not trying to debate definitions). "Internalised misandry" seems like it would envelop everything "toxic masculinity" applies to and more. While also correctly implying that these things are learned rather than inherent. I don't see much benefit to keeping them separate. My biggest problem with the term "toxic masculinity" has always been that it's more easily misunderstood than it is correctly understood. It seems like every time someone brings up toxic masculinity in good faith, they are also required to clearly explain what they mean. Because it's a confusing term of art run amok.

Your bud is gonna break something if he keeps doing those mental gymnastics. There's having conflicting opinions, and then there's complete cognitive dissonance. If the guy is being honest, and truly believes all people of other faiths are going to hell, progressive stuff is bad, but he also likes Liana as a person, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard as a game. It seems he's dealt with that conflict (or hasn't dealt with it, I suppose) by just divorcing those things as being at all related. Brings to mind the generalized statements about "all women" Liana has mentioned people bringing up to her, but not first thinking about how that means they're then also talking about her too, or saying they don't consider her woman. Sidenote; I was raised Catholic (currently a Deist, in case that's relevant), and while there's not Really just ONE opinion in even just my sect of Christianity on the subject, when I got taught in CCD (Confraternity of Christian Doctrine) when asking "What Jesus said we had to do to get into Heaven?". The answer teaches gave was "Just be a good person", or "Be a good person, follow the Ten commandments, and ask forgiveness for your sins", if they wanted to be more specific. Granted, as Liana mentioned, that's just an interpretation of the doctrine, and technically someone could still take those two lines and interpret them to mean "Yeah, and to be a good person you have to be Christian (circular logic, and sure, whatever the Hell is "Christian" to THEM). Heck, some people focus a lot about Commandment 2 being all about not saying "God damn!". Personally, I think it's meant more about not trying to pass off what you want done by trying to say it's "God's will" that the thing you want to happen, should happen, "in the name of God". If ya want just a word for word example that ignores the "spirit" of a commandment, "you shall have no other Gods before me", can be followed by the letter if you're an atheist. That's for sure not the intention, but it is a very literal interpretation that fits on a technicality. Point is, there's more than one interpretation of "the dogma". Everyone picks and chooses what they do or don't hold to be true to their own faith. If we divided up every Christian by what they each specifically believed, there would be a billion different sects. Instead of the over 40k currently recognized. >_> If you say you belive Jewish people are going to Hell just for being Jewish, you're not just saying you believe something awful. You're also saying the thousands of other different options you had to believe as a Christian weren't convincing to you. "Jesus would let a good person into Heaven, even if they aren't Christian? Nah, I don't think he would.

Most ( Catholic) people who have passed on are in Purgatory, a place where a person's sins are being burned away, metaphorically speaking, until the rough stone is turned into a shining and perfect diamond. There was once a place called Limbo where unbaptised babies were held. That belief was abandoned after Vatican II. As George Carlin once stated all the unbaptized babies in Limbo were promoted to Heaven. Postmillennial Protestants believe that Hell is reserved for Satan and those who reject Jesus when He comes back to Earth to reign for 1000 years. This is when the Judgement period begins.

But I have to protest strongly on this one. 1. It is not hateful to say that people who are not Christian don't get into Heaven, any more than it is hateful for a Buddhist to say that you cannot achieve enlightenment unless you let go of desire. It's just the way it is. 2. It is not "dogma" to say that only Christians get into Heaven. It is Doctrine. 3. It 100% says it in the Bible. That isn't a "narrow interpretation". It is the fundamental belief structure of the religion and the essential lesson of the Gospels. Examples: John 14:6 - 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Acts 16:30-31 - 30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” and most famously, and clearly, John 3:16-18 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. None of that is hate. Believing that is not hate. I would bet good money that the guy that you talk to sincerely wishes and prays that you find salvation. He doesn't WANT you to go to Hell (that would be hateful, and is openly condemned in the Bible), but by believing in the Gospels, that's the only outcome he can see. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGfFEiPiLp0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGfFEiPiLp0&lc=UgxSbdTeJ9jz6MPXCgF4AaABAg.AJE_Bdn0BtAAJF2nTAzCS7 UPLOAD DATE: 20250611 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @JadeGolem-du2dx AUTHOR_ID: UCa1Bm3Q-dcg0V7lDdTxy0VA TEXT: Just out of interest, is protestant heaven the same place as catholic heaven? ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGfFEiPiLp0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGfFEiPiLp0&lc=UgxSbdTeJ9jz6MPXCgF4AaABAg.AJE_Bdn0BtAAJFH7FSzE1j UPLOAD DATE: 20250611 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @chaselonnergan AUTHOR_ID: UCQkErstwH5t9y1xzVnfrh-Q TEXT: ​@JadeGolem-du2dxSame place. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGfFEiPiLp0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGfFEiPiLp0&lc=UgxSbdTeJ9jz6MPXCgF4AaABAg.AJE_Bdn0BtAAJGKTmKcs5I UPLOAD DATE: 20250611 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @visaman AUTHOR_ID: UCVmzmLAWc0RMFscQCz13wFQ TEXT: ​@JadeGolem-du2dx Catholic doctrine on the afterlife places an emphasis on various levels of Heaven. Most ( Catholic) people who have passed on are in Purgatory, a place where a person's sins are being burned away, metaphorically speaking, until the rough stone is turned into a shining and perfect diamond. There was once a place called Limbo where unbaptised babies were held. That belief was abandoned after Vatican II. As George Carlin once stated all the unbaptized babies in Limbo were promoted to Heaven. Postmillennial Protestants believe that Hell is reserved for Satan and those who reject Jesus when He comes back to Earth to reign for 1000 years. This is when the Judgement period begins.

(NOTE: I am open to this being disputed but I think to do so would have some other difficult consequences, i.e. if a person deemed moral by God can still be sent to Hell, a place defined as eternal torture, then that implies that God is a being that cares more for blind obedience than morality which I don't think is how most Christians would generally interpret their faith [and further it is difficult to believe that a good, benevolent and moral God could eternally torture a person that he himself deems to be moral]) - As such it follows that stating that someone "will go to Hell if they do not believe in Jesus" is the same as saying that God deems them immoral enough to be deserving of eternal torture. - When the believer combines the belief that "God is infallible and the arbiter of morality" with the belief that "God would decide this particular person is deserving of eternal torture" it follows that the believer themselves believes that the non-believer is morally deserving of eternal torture as God cannot be wrong. - I think it should be clear why the belief that someone is morally deserving of eternal torture could easily be interpreted as an insult (as well as cruel) *How can this be interpreted as hatred?* - In the case being considered the only prerequisite to the belief that someone is morally deserving of eternal torture is that they do not believe in Jesus.  - This does not require any other knowledge of the person in question and cannot be overcome by other moral attributes. I.e. Even for a hypothetical person whose *only* sin is that they do not believe in Jesus there is no amount of moral good they could do in their lives that would change the decision that they are morally worthy of eternal torture. - As such there is a category of people that the believer does not need to know, meet, interact with or attempt to understand that they nevertheless unequivocally believe to be morally worthy of eternal torture. - It is not unfair for a negative belief about all members of a group that does not require actual experience of those members to be considered a prejudice. This is where the hated potentially sneaks in. Strictly speaking, it is God that is doing the judging, Hell is the place where the believer believes the eternal torture should take place and the eternal torture should only take place in the afterlife after God's judgement. However based on the actions of humans across all of documented history it is not unreasonable for members of that group to suspect/fear that if harmful acts were to be taken against them on earth while they are still alive that these acts could be justified and/or ignored by those who believe that they are morally worthy of eternal torture. And further still it may not be unreasonable for a member of the group to believe that a person telling them that they are going to Hell for not believing in Jesus might themselves justify, ignore or partake in such acts against them. (NOTE: If the non-believer does feel this way about the believer it is only reasonable to do so in the context of wider experiences with the believer; this singular statement alone is unlikely to be enough to fairly have these fears/suspicions about the believer) *IF* an individual does actually justify, ignore or partake in harmful acts against a member of a group solely due to a prejudice against that group, that kind of behaviour is typically considered a form a of hatred against that group. *So where does this leave us?* - It is not unreasonable that telling someone that they will go to Hell for not believing in Jesus could feel insulting and cruel to the person being told. - And yet the believer may still genuinely be distressed about their belief of the future of the non-believer's soul and wish to help them. *Can it constitute hatred?* - From the last couple of statements you can see that there are some jumps of logic and emphasis on "**IF**"s. - So overall I agree that there is not a direct 1-to-1 line of logic from the statement "You are going to Hell for not believing in Jesus" and hatred of the person being told that. However it is clear that use of that kind of language has the potential to be unproductive in the conversation, damage the relationship and trust between the non-believer and the believer and trigger the non-believer to be more wary of other signals that might indicate that the believer is not a safe person to be unguarded around and further still may not be someone who can be reasoned with. As such, a believer who is genuinely concerned for the well being of a non-believer in the afterlife should likely consider that these kind of statements have a high enough possibility of being taken antagonistically that a different more considerate approach should probably be taken. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGfFEiPiLp0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGfFEiPiLp0&lc=UgxSbdTeJ9jz6MPXCgF4AaABAg.AJE_Bdn0BtAAJFHBbjLjtw UPLOAD DATE: 20250611 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @JadeGolem-du2dx AUTHOR_ID: UCa1Bm3Q-dcg0V7lDdTxy0VA TEXT: @IDontKnowMyName-tv1ze seeing as you're AI: What about sillicon heaven? surely thats where all the calculators go? ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGfFEiPiLp0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGfFEiPiLp0&lc=UgxSbdTeJ9jz6MPXCgF4AaABAg.AJE_Bdn0BtAAJFIdo20c-a UPLOAD DATE: 20250611 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @IDontKnowMyName-tv1ze AUTHOR_ID: UC5Udlm22F6wRTQ_83NblrGg TEXT: @JadeGolem-du2dx Yeah we really have gotten to that point with AI now where we can't tell the difference.

First is letting go of desire is simply reduction of suffering; enlightenment is something else entirely, even if part of it is the awareness that some kinds of desire causes suffering. Secondly, the problem with believing that non Christians don't go to heaven is - where do they go? If hell, it implies that someone can do all the good in the world, and be so free of sin they get the free pass to cast every first stone, but because they don't subscribe to a specific label they are destined for eternal hellfire. And that sounds pretty discriminatory, if not hateful. Unless there's a third option which I admit I'm not aware of. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGfFEiPiLp0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGfFEiPiLp0&lc=UgxSbdTeJ9jz6MPXCgF4AaABAg.AJE_Bdn0BtAAJGtbnhxOua UPLOAD DATE: 20250611 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @chaselonnergan AUTHOR_ID: UCQkErstwH5t9y1xzVnfrh-Q TEXT:  @gundamforreal  There's not really a problem with the first point, then. Because you still cannot achieve enlightenment until you let go of desire. To your second objection, it is based on a misunderstanding of Christian theology. Perfectly understandable, as most non-Christians are only really exposed to pop-culture Christian Theology, and pop-culture is predominantly anti-Christian in tone. That person you describe, who is so sinless that they have a free pass to cast first stones? They don't exist. They CAN'T exist. That is the whole point of the story you are referencing with "casting the first stone". Jesus was calling out the crowd for their hypocrisy, because he knew that not one of them was without sin. Nobody is without sin. Romans 3:23 - "For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God". Everyone, everywhere, is a sinner. You, me, him, her, them, everybody. Sinners cannot enter the Kingdom of God. Only those without sin may come unto the Father. This presents a problem. How can anyone get into Heaven, if everyone sins, and only the sinless get in? Forgiveness. People must have their sins forgiven through grace. Things get a little complicated here, but I will try to be as clear as I can. The torture of Hell, the fire and rbimstone and little red dudes poking you with agricultural implements, are an allegorical representation of the death of the soul. Hell is death. Heaven is life eternal. We are all slated for death because we are sinners. Death is the price we pay for being sinners. I am sure you have heard "The wages of sin is death" at least once. So, Christ paid that price for humankind by dying on their behalf. He accepted the sins of the human race onto himself, and paid for them. Salvation and forgiveness are achieved by respecting and honoring that sacrifice through faith, belief and a conscious effort to not sin. We will fail utterly at the last one. But that is where Grace comes in. He knows we are going to fail, but the effort, faith and repentance when we fail is enough to gain his Grace and Mercy. Now... to the big point... If one does not have faith or belief. If one does not respect and honor that sacrifice. If one does not repent and ask forgiveness, then they cannot be forgiven. They cannot receive Grace. They do not enter the Kingdom of God. So when I say that YOU are not getting into Heaven, I am not being hateful. There is a way to get into the Kingdom of God, and you are not doing it. Neither is Liana, nor billions of other people. You don't get into the club without paying the cover charge, and the cover charge is faith. All of this is from a Christian perspective, of course. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGfFEiPiLp0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGfFEiPiLp0&lc=UgxSbdTeJ9jz6MPXCgF4AaABAg.AJE_Bdn0BtAAJHHxDDVu9U UPLOAD DATE: 20250611 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @gundamforreal AUTHOR_ID: UCxfD4GUd6h7DrTM7kg9BYLw TEXT:  @chaselonnergan  welp, the idea of being able to completely let go of desire is itself is a misunderstanding of the Buddhist concept of enlightenment. As I said, the the component that matters more is the awareness, as even the most enlightened person cannot override the biological drive to, for example, eat. That base level desire is no impediment to enlightenment. Desiring specific food like steak or whatever, it's that desire that causes suffering. On to the big point, admittedly I'm not as intimately familiar with Christianity, but from what you've explained, the TL;DR that I'm getting is that, because perfection is impossible, it is impossible for anyone to earn a place in paradise of their own merit. And the only other way is to partially pass the buck to someone else, and it's a specific someone at that, too. To the outsider it sounds pretty infantilising, which some may interpret as hateful.

There is nothing infantilizing about recognizing that every human being is flawed. That's common knowledge. It is a universally accepted truth. And the discrimination assumption is ridiculous. Literally ANYONE can ask for forgiveness. There is no bar to entry for Christianity. You don't have to be a certain skin color, or a member of a certain family, or be born into a lineage. There is no monetary cost or sexual requirement. You ask for forgiveness, you repent for your sins, you get forgiveness.

No arguments on the humans are flawed part, but then there's the impossibly high bar of perfection being the requirement to not go to hell, regardless of whether that entails death or eternal suffering. And while it's an inevitability to sin to some degree, that no amount of virtue henceforth can redeem past sins robs every sinner of some degree of agency. All the more when the only recourse is to abdicate an equal amount of responsibility to another, and a very specific entity at that. And on that note, sure, anyone can ask for forgiveness. But again, it has to be to that specific entity, and those who don't or ask someone else for forgiveness instead, gets othered, therefore discrimination. And I'm sure someone out there would argue the no sexual requirement part, but that's not my can of worms to open. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGfFEiPiLp0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGfFEiPiLp0&lc=UgxSbdTeJ9jz6MPXCgF4AaABAg.AJE_Bdn0BtAAJHQaPK05cN UPLOAD DATE: 20250611 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @chaselonnergan AUTHOR_ID: UCQkErstwH5t9y1xzVnfrh-Q TEXT:  @gundamforreal  By that HYPER-BROAD generalized definition of discrimination, EVERY religious belief is discriminatory.

And clearly you haven't read about the wide variety of options in the Norse afterlife that are fairly awful. And no. It still isn't hateful. Why not? Because inherent to the faith is the belief that every soul who is not saved is considered a tragic loss to be mourned. And that adherents are supposed to go out into the world and proselytize as much as possible to save others from that fate. They are to be "fishers of men" in order to help as many people as they possibly can toward salvation. THAT is in no way hateful. And I HAVE been on the receiving end of that message as a former atheist, and as someone who has Muslim friends, who frequently inform me that I will not enter paradise because I do not recognize Muhammad as the Prophet of Allah. Telling a non-Christian that they are not going to Heaven isn't justifying condemnation. It's stating doctrine. Not good. Not bad. Just saying it the way it is.

The grifters attack and harass people in the name of LGBT, and people in turn blame the LGBT. While some are aware of the grifters, with one woman calling the grifters disgusting cockroaches. The unfortunate truth is that most people can't separate the grifters from those they leach off of. Second, Men's Mental Health Month was a thing before Pride Month. It's not there to be weaponized against anyone. And to in a sense repeat myself. The only people who use that to attack and harass are grifters. Grifters don't care, they just want profit and will pretend to care for that profit. Whether that profit is clout, money, or something else to acquire. They will lie about any cause to get what they want. It's also why I stopped grouping them with activists.

I think part of the problem was gross inconsistency in power levels. In Season 1, Vox was outgunned by Alastor, who was outgunned by Adam, who could only be beaten by Lucifer himself. And remember Adam is one of numerous archangels. Suddenly, Vox is able to form a credible threat to Heaven via a Lucifer powered gun (which makes no sense since Lucifer lost before) and Carmilla who should know better backs Vox. It would have worked better if Heaven had been previously pulling its punches and could hit much harder if they wanted. So Vox would be delusional in threatening Heaven. Charlie & co are trying to save Hell again by stopping Vox from triggering a massive retaliation. Carmilla is setting up Vox to be annihilated. Lute wants an excuse for vengeance. And Abel's real anxiety isn't fighting a battle but becoming a bigger exterminator than his father. That would make the debate in Heaven more meaningful - wipe out Hell or acknowledge Charlie was right, accept their losses and try to help save sinners. Side note - I kind of wonder if Vizzie is working through some issues with her mother. Can't help thinking someone should teach writers to save that for their therapists. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV04sC_cXBc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV04sC_cXBc&lc=UgzqYkd39juVZpKlw_J4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251125 COMMENT DATE: 2025-12-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @paulofevilbathrobes4627 AUTHOR_ID: UCYsWA1jDWBVL5RfN5XtjXeA TEXT: I am more convinced that the creator doesn't want to have to commit to having a truly irredeemable character. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV04sC_cXBc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV04sC_cXBc&lc=UgzJJzpqpFrMnUCzuMl4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251125 COMMENT DATE: 2025-12-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @AgentownshipRebelion AUTHOR_ID: UCFpEK2OnFPIjIeQh8XKawiQ TEXT: I really didn't enjoy much of season two and I wasn't sure why.

There is no thought put into the mechanisms of souls passing from their mortal lives or the judgement they face, or to how this process should inevitably change them. Same with the idea of redemption and transformation of a soul that goes against the dictate of the judgement passed onto it. Beyond that is the fact that the creators use almost nothing from the wider Christian lore, and of course never dare to touch the sister lores of Judaism and Islam with a ten foot pole.

"Healthy/Toxic-Masculinity/Femininity is a very complex subject but I believe it's actually rather easy to define. And I believe my definition is fully in line with every academic description I've found as well. Firstly I prefer the term toxic/healthy gender roles. Secondly, these things are easy to define when we focus on one word, And that's "Toxic". My definition is "Toxic gender roles are whenever gender roles are forced onto a person". That's it. Because masculinity and femininity are fluid by culture and even overlap most of the time. Also, here is nothing inherently wrong with expressing any of these gender roles. The only thing that is negative about any gender expression is when a person is forced or expected to fulfill a particular role. That is the toxic element. Everything else I would just say is blanketly healthy. Think of it like art. People can and should express themselves in almost any way they wish. And art has categories that people can dwell within and go outside of. But anytime you are pressuring someone to stay in a particular category, it's s stifling or censoring that art. That's toxic. I know that focusing on the word toxic gives a bad first impression. I grimaced myself reading academic papers about toxic masculinity. I had the same knee jerk reaction everyone else did. But over time I have learned that it is the correct thing to identify. I prefer the term toxic gender roles as opposed to toxic masculinity or toxic femininity. But I do think it is correct to identify the toxic elements because everything else should be permitted. Now I'm going to go sew my leather My Little Pony biker jacket and watch sports musicals like a real man." You ABSOLUTELY strawmanned the definition I asked for. The definition was for healthy and you defined toxic, then said healthy is anything that's not toxic.

There is an old saying you can't go home again, which is ture in the sense you can't go back to the home of your memories since you are changed person. This saying is not suppose to be scary but observational. Yet I see to many people scared to leave there homes since out side their homes since that is where they will encounter toxicity. So in an effort to protect their home they will lash out at any perceived threat. In a manner reminiscent of how the Imperium of Man from 40k acts to heresy. While sending a bolter round is not the same thing as sending curle words to someone they are both an expression of wanting to get rid of something or someone that is feared. This brings me back to Sam. Since Sam went through just about everything Frodo did, even carrying the Ring for a bit, yet he stayed in the Shire and built him self a new life. So he did not let the fear, pain, and toxicity he endure define him. So while he might not have been able to return home he was able to build a new home. On a personal note, I have been through it. I served in the USMC and did a combat deployment to Afghanistan and building a new home like Sam is very possible. So if you are wondering if something bad happens to will I ever be able to happy, feel Joy, and laugh again the answer is yes.

Unfortunately I don't think there's anything I can say that won't get twisted even further into more proof of how horrible I am. About backing up my claims, I could, I don't want to bore you or bother you any more than I have. But I just didn't think they were things that needed to be backed up. Not that they're self-evident. I just didn't think it was that important. Like how most people just kind of comment the things that they think. I'm sorry I mentioned academia. I guess the vibe here is never show that you've done any serious thinking or reading about a topic. I don't have a "making definitions" license so I guess I'm not qualified. That wasn't at to you by the way. Just teasing at the situation. It's just crazy that different perspectives is taking so seriously here. Like I'm not even disagreeing with anyone. My definition matches everyone else's. It's just reversed. And I guess this is weird but I didn't see my definition is negative. Maybe I'm too deep into etymology or philosophy or something but.. like.. there's kind of a lot of things that are defined by what they're not. Like art or consciousness. And yeah I was pretty sure that gender expression kind of fell into that rabbit hole. I'm sure I'll get called pretentious now. But personally I find the idea that masculinity can be anything very freeing. So my approach is to define what it isn't to leave the world open.

My comment was not directed at anyone in Monday's video in any way. It was not in opposition to anything that was said. My comment was purely my definition for healthy masculinity. And that definition is not the avoidance of toxicity. I'm sorry I talk strangely. What I was trying to say was that all masculinity is healthy. Even tho masculinity is fluid across cultures. But the DISCUSSION of healthy masculinity spawns from addressing it problems. And it is my personal definition that those problems are when masculinity if forced on others. I do not blame you for misinterpreting me, but nothing you described matches what I believe. I also did not intend to sound like an authority. I care very deeply about this discussion and have spent a massive amount of my life learning, examining, and theorizing about gender. I have read academic papers to educate myself. Not to beat others with my view. I was only saying that I have a personal hypothesis that I believe fits with other people far more educated and reliable than me. But am I not allowed to do that? Can my humility not be assumed? Again, I am sorry if I talk autisticly. (I don't believe I am autistic, but my repeated miscommunications with Leana feel that way.). Can I not have confidence in the work I have put into the discussion? Must I say "I am a layman with zero qualifications but I have a personal definition.." I'm just so so tired of being a bad guy here. I'm tired of having my words read with distain. I'm tired of my opinions being turned into attacks and criticism when that is not even remotely what I intended. I'm tired of being mocked behind the scenes. I'm sorry, I disgust you. That is not what I intended. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPGqHaIamJM COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPGqHaIamJM&lc=UgzYvuzIlrL0wEvM5wV4AaABAg.ASoOlfaY89CASoxQJVTN05 UPLOAD DATE: 20260204 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-08 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @AileynRed AUTHOR_ID: UCqUg7b8RZEZcdpf0XEH2BNg TEXT: Sir.

And I believe my definition is fully in line with every academic description I've found as well. Firstly I prefer the term toxic/healthy gender roles. Secondly, these things are easy to define when we focus on one word, And that's "Toxic". My definition is "Toxic gender roles are whenever gender roles are forced onto a person". That's it. Because masculinity and femininity are fluid by culture and even overlap most of the time. Also, here is nothing inherently wrong with expressing any of these gender roles. The only thing that is negative about any gender expression is when a person is forced or expected to fulfill a particular role. That is the toxic element. Everything else I would just say is blanketly healthy. Think of it like art. People can and should express themselves in almost any way they wish. And art has categories that people can dwell within and go outside of. But anytime you are pressuring someone to stay in a particular category, it's s stifling or censoring that art. That's toxic. I know that focusing on the word toxic gives a bad first impression. I grimaced myself reading academic papers about toxic masculinity. I had the same knee jerk reaction everyone else did. But over time I have learned that it is the correct thing to identify. I prefer the term toxic gender roles as opposed to toxic masculinity or toxic femininity. But I do think it is correct to identify the toxic elements because everything else should be permitted. Now I'm going to go sew my leather My Little Pony biker jacket and watch sports musicals like a real man. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPGqHaIamJM COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPGqHaIamJM&lc=UgzYvuzIlrL0wEvM5wV4AaABAg.ASoOlfaY89CASovBhHe15Q UPLOAD DATE: 20260204 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-08 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Baconlazer AUTHOR_ID: UCh5JW75fnMKOKN6q_LA0i_Q TEXT: Ok real talk, don't ask someone to stop talking about what you said ( not what did terribly, what you said that wasn't about the initial conversation about Healthy Masculinity ) it's very icky to control others what they want to say good or bad.

Guys came on my channel to talk positively about things. You insisted that something they were struggling with was "easy". Not considering their feelings at all. You minimized their struggle. Now you're making this about me, but what it's about is how you treated other men who showed up, showed their faces, and participated in a positive conversation. Did you consider what they intended? Did you consider that "it's actually rather easy to define" on a video where guys were struggling with it might read as mocking their struggle?. In short, you want empathy from others that you did not extend. This wasn't about education. It was about men speaking from their hearts, and you couldn't just take that in the spirit it was given. I don't care how many ways you play the victim here. You were treated far kinder, and with more respect for your ideas, than you showed. You have been around this channel long enough to know that response to comments is done via videos. NO ONE gets a warning to retract a comment, and you're not getting special privileges. You knew that any comment on this channel might get a follow up in a video. Don't act all scandalized that it happened. It happens every week. And blaming autism without a diagnosis... I'm going to call you out on that. Not okay. Multiple participants in the original video have autism. With an actual diagnosis. It's not an excuse to be condescending. No one hates you, no one is personally attacking you. You presented an idea. I engaged with it. And you can't even spell my name properly. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPGqHaIamJM COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPGqHaIamJM&lc=UgzYvuzIlrL0wEvM5wV4AaABAg.ASoOlfaY89CASpQ4BuqFiH UPLOAD DATE: 20260204 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-08 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @VagabondTE AUTHOR_ID: UChOUKKgbShXy-vQcVtUyhkA TEXT: ​​ @RedLianaK  I'm sorry I spelled your name wrong.

No, I didn't actually think that I was trivializing their struggles. I don't even think I was disagreeing with them. I understand you don't like my definition ut I promise you it is a philosophical difference. From my perspective I'm not even disagreeing so I didn't even perceive It as trivializing anyone. I'm sorry I brought up autism. You're completely correct. Not cool. I just don't know how else to explain my extreme frustration with how everything I'm saying gets so wildly misinterpreted.

You had no doubts that I was attacking your guests. That I was trivializing their struggles. And you have done this before. You had no doubts that I was trivializing your personal struggles and in your words "I knew what you were going through". And I must reiterate, that to this day, I still have no idea what you were talking about. I have tried so hard for months not to say this but you just don't practice what you preach. I have acknowledged and apologized for multiple things and you're still just finding more things that I haven't acknowledged enough. And yes, I have acknowledged that I have communicated poorly. I had to rewrite my original response to ensure that I was only saying this was a miscommunication and leaping over eggshells to prevent anything sounding like an accusation on your person. And now I can't even say that you're attacking me When you directly compare me to people who have launched hate campaigns against you. You refuse to even acknowledge that you have gleefully insulted me in your discord server. Are you truly so incapable as I apologize over and over again for things that I didn't even intent. Are you truly so immovable that you can't even acknowledge that I'm not being malicious? I have NEVER once insulted you And you have laughed about your circle taking turns insulting me. I haven't demanded you apologize for anything and I have only asked that you acknowledge at a bare minimum that I'm NOT trying to attack anyone. I don't want soothing. I want to be a part of the discussion without my words being twisted into attacks. I know you won't respond to me further. I don't believe you would have responded in the first place if I hadn't asked others for their input.

At that point, it's just living your entire life in a box because you devlop this debilitating fear of the outside world trying avoid pain. Pain is a part of life, the natural balance of the universe. Good cannot exist without the bad. And this is part of the reason why I can't stand Overprotective over sheltering helicopter parents. it's not a case of an angsty teenager getting upset that their parents won't let them go to the My Chemical Romance concert, or angry old man grumbling about the younger generations being "too soft" It's about stunting your child's growth and not preparing them for the real world. Not only does it reek of blatant fearmongering propegated by the 24 hour news cycle, It also set's up this unrealistic expectation that bad things happening is only reserved for people who do bad things as some form of divine karmic punishment. When that's not how the world works. Even if you obey authority without question, follow the rules to the letter, avoid hanging around bad crowds, avoid temptation(Be it drugs, alcohol, premarital sex, etc.) that doesn't mean you'll be owed some sort of cosmic reward. And that's one of those hard truths about the world that more people need to accept. And this isn't me saying you just have to accept being beaten down by the world relentlessly without fighting back. All I'm saying is learning to accept failue, and accepting that bad things happen that are beyond one's control is a part of life, and one of the key tennents of emotional maturity. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPGqHaIamJM COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPGqHaIamJM&lc=UgxY28zd04nvZncrCw54AaABAg.ASoLAo-O9DSASodkXRr-Qr UPLOAD DATE: 20260204 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-08 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @VagabondTE AUTHOR_ID: UChOUKKgbShXy-vQcVtUyhkA TEXT: Hello, I am the one who left the comment on Monday.

Because it seems like these days hope seems to be conflated with wishful thinking, and just ignoring reality. Which is simply not what hope is. One of those things that living through the pandemic tought me, is that doomerism and constant negativity isn't going to solve anything.(Again, this is why I glad I no longer have twitter.) Likewise this sort of doomeristic mindset is one of my main problems with the Online left. Likewise it's a real shame, that excessive negativity is being rewarded in the gaming world. And I'm not just talking about all the culture war stuff, just in certain spaces people think that being overtly negative is going to fix the gaming industry, and that automatically makes you supperior or intellectually honest, and believe that insulting people to get your point across, and accusing anyone who isn't aboard the negativity train or try to clear the air of any of the outrage fueled misinformation of being a mindless consumer, corporate shill, etc. Something I've seen time in time again regarding discourse surrounding stuff like Paper Mario(Sticker Star onwards, barring the TTYD remake), Modern Pokemon(As in Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee onwards), Sonic frontiers, The Last of Us 2, Switch 2, so on and so forth. Again, I still retain the belief that we should be careful to not swing too hard in the oposite dirrection into toxic positivity territory. At the same time, There is a difference between being critical, and just being overly negative for the sake of being negative. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZt_OhGfx0o COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZt_OhGfx0o&lc=Ugwlu9Kc3R4YupoePP14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250507 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Blunderful_Disasterpiece AUTHOR_ID: UCVpt99B2qL6cigCquIMJkcw TEXT: I like the word "yet".

If Hydes need a "master", then it would be bad writing to just go "Psyche! Nope that was wrong!" But what if Tyler could manage self mastery? (It's very unfortunate that the character on Wednesday has the same first name as Charlie Kirk's shooter, but for others reading, I'm talking about a fictional character here.) They're definitely hinting at something involving Wednesday not being able to admit any warm feelings toward him, but the only way the character survives the show is if self mastery is an option. His story is a very interesting metaphor for how teen boys are sometimes abused by their mothers and taken advantage of by teachers. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR1m_dwZN3s COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR1m_dwZN3s&lc=UgzULcq6h_vk2jKpH1V4AaABAg.AN5eoPVxbjAAN6SsI1kTib UPLOAD DATE: 20250915 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @a.f.watcher8888 AUTHOR_ID: UC73ztY5KZaSfimDw0lSAlQg TEXT:  @RedLianaK  Yeah, Given that Faulkner died before doing further research into Hyde's. It's possible that a pack can potentially lead to self mastery hence natural lifespans and self control. Plus the show runners/writers want to further explore Hyde's. I'm also thinking Tyler may potentially save Enid from other wolves but suffer near fatal injuries doing so due to her alpha status. But again pure speculation. Hopefully they come up with a clever way to write out of their current predicament. Either way Tyler could be a great example of male characters overcoming an affliction to discover their inner artists (cuz Hyde's are natural artists) and utilize their curse for far less heinous choices a la The Hulk for example.

I have the same feeling - many games these days are not made for me. The mainstream AAA games definitely are not. I have been playing Veilguard. It is going slowly because I have to be in the right mood, so I haven't met all of the companions yet. I have mixed feelings about it. Difficulty and accessibility customization are the best I've seen in this type of game, and Veilguard should be seen as a model for other games in this regard. Exploration is good for a linear game. The scenery is beautiful and varied. I like the characters so far, even Bellara, who seems to get a fair amount of hate. I suppose I'll have to see what I think when I get to Taash. The writing is all over the map, and all too often, it is dreadful, especially in the dialogue. The dialogue wheel system is so much of a failure that Fallout 4 seems successful in comparison. The combat is the wrong type of combat system for me (I don't like action combat), but since it can be nerfed to the point of triviality, I can make it work. I'm not massively attached to Dragon Age since I have only played Origins, and that was a long time ago, but Origins is, without a doubt, more my style of game. Veilguard feels like a cozy Dragon Age lite, which is enjoyable when I'm in the right mood, but it is definitely not made for me. It feels like it is made for the crowd that likes simplistic young adult genre fiction. There is nothing wrong with this, and there is a place in the world for it. Even I like this sort of thing on occasion when I simply want to relax with something that isn't challenging. These days, with some rare exceptions, the only games that seem like they are made for me are niche indie games. I'm glad this portion of the industry is healthy right now. If not for these games, I would probably be fully stuck in the past, repeatedly playing older games until I get sick of them. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXlWHfG7XDk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXlWHfG7XDk&lc=UgzwYXoKhqqIv-DHS2J4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241213 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @MagickMitch AUTHOR_ID: UCuAQj9wiM3WY0kh6Je0TDpw TEXT: Perhaps I am not the person to ask but I don't understand how folks are calling Liana ugly.

People read "Ai helped cure cancer" and "Ai generated a million pictures of children you would go to prison for having on your hard drive" and then they think the one is the sacrifice we have to make to have the other. No. There is perfectly legal Ai and there is stolen data AI.

Who did recently browse steam thinking "I wish there were more games, low quality would be fine, I just want more"? The reason why we see COD include Ai is because that sells millions even if it contains bad content. That's like how Google an makes the search worse every year. The primary problem of small devs and individuals is not the money they could save with Ai, it is that they drown in a sea of things and standing out to get chosen by a customer is what they need to make happen. Making what others have already made but slightly worse is not a way to win. Fans of AI call it "democratization" because everyone can make games/art with AI. Sure. Before AI steam was flooded with bad games no one played that did not make money. With AI there are now even more of them. There's a difference between making something and making a living doing something. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLSah4gr_iQ COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLSah4gr_iQ&lc=UgyVFDSgNtprxgctaZZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260113 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @sealsharp AUTHOR_ID: UCiKtPlO92fFx8PyDmylxkug TEXT: #1 ideas The use of "AI for ideas" is so strange, it feels like it is made up to calm down people who know nothing about the production of creative things. It assumes that ideas are at the same time kinda something rare and precious that there is a need for Ai to "create" them, but also it's okay it is just ideas so it doesn't matter if it is Ai. People who learnt to think creatively can shit out ideas by the dozens. Not bad ideas, genuinely good ideas. At the start when there is not much defined yet, so any idea is "great if anything not defined yet is awesome". The more things get defined, the more constraints exist what kind of idea is a good start for a missing piece. Chatbots can not do that, they guess matching words, they don't create a mental model of pieces, pacing, vibe and all that is part of creating a matching piece. Ideas become valuable through the work done with them and often that work transforms the idea. ChatGPT spitting out some ideas being something game creators need is stupid. Every company is full of people with more early ideas for something that may become good with lots of work than they can use in a lifetime. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLSah4gr_iQ COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLSah4gr_iQ&lc=UgzjQJgnTfm86p4SDwt4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260113 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @SuperGamer61499 AUTHOR_ID: UC69PZDMUU3FJqKGfpDkZ_-Q TEXT: When it comes to generative AI, I think the best way for me to trust a company that uses it is just disclosing it. I think also, creative process can be assisted for sure. Often, we live in a society, that I feel, does not really respect artists. So, how I looked at it, I suppose at one point I was more on the extremist side of it. Now, I think. Well, I guess it's weird. I still think the idea of theft in art and the idea of even that example you used, "Well, I'll use generative AI to end my sentences" shows to me that it's not good for cognitive thinking. I think the most fun thing in creative writing or creativity is knowing eventually how to end it. In a great fashion. I think at our core, we just want games not to lose artistic integrity. Generally, I think everyone (who isn't an AI tech bro) agrees with this. There are better ways to communicate for sure. But, I think the ideas and concerns will unfortunately get fiery hot. As the companies keep pushing it more and more in unethical ways. And more and more people just want creativity to flourish. With none of that compromised "business crass" that ruins the experience. I think what sucks often, is that I guess we're over correcting on our fears. Where we stop and recognize that is pretty important too. The fears of our society will make many humans emotional. Well, I guess that's why we do put specific people up on our pedestal. Maybe. We emotionally connect with games. I think that's why we get so worried of devs getting screwed. I understand game devs even without Generative AI concerns still have things that can still screw devs. Crunch, not getting paid enough on minimum wages, sexual harassment scandals, potential problematic funding issues, publishers might force the devs to rush the game and the polish QA testing gets pushed to the other side for later, I think we just want shit to get better. I like to believe it will. It'll just take time to sort this all out. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLSah4gr_iQ COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLSah4gr_iQ&lc=UgwLpMbQtkYESekykT14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260113 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @geweurzgurke AUTHOR_ID: UClnUgbKisHo6CdecGusR16w TEXT: I think it is probably necessary for any Business to look into how AI can be used.

When the writer's block doesn't budge for days, an LLM does wonders at smashing past it. Maybe it has an interpretation of a character or scene that I hadn't thought of and my mind uses that as a springboard for what happens next. Or maybe it's wildly off the mark and the process of correcting it leads to an idea. That alone will trigger some folks, but the fanfic will never get published anywhere to be a problem. It doesn't even get shared with friends and will probably never be 'finished' before my ADHD mind gets fixated on something else. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLSah4gr_iQ COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLSah4gr_iQ&lc=UgyLtiG4MHUDFbGHwOF4AaABAg.ARvsWbiL4_uARwTkno_HsR UPLOAD DATE: 20260113 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @JadeGolem-du2dx AUTHOR_ID: UCa1Bm3Q-dcg0V7lDdTxy0VA TEXT: Quibbling about whether that the AI is actually helping in a way that can't be achieved as well or better by other means; would you still use it for this purpose if you had to pay $50+ for every query? Probably not, just like you probably wouldn't use paperclips if they were fundamentally so resource intensive each cost $10 to make instead of a tenth of a cent. The small genuine utility of LLMs to end users only exists because the ludicrous costs have been absorbed/stored-up to off-load later, which simply can't go on forever; once they actually have to start charging users more than the [insane] cost to provide the service (like businesses are supposed to work) the value proposition of the service ceases to be viable.

After prolonged use, it started to give tips that pointed in a certain direction that definitely gave the "AI art" style and lacked consistency (violating it's own tips). There is also a bit of yes man syndrome since it usually has no goal post and you aren't perceptive to that fact.

So if you see a post or see an email that gets under your skin you can take your time in responding. My two cents is tell your self a joke before responding since laughter helps breaks release stress that is built up by fight or flight responds.

Again, I get that it's a learned behavior. At the same time, being a victim of troubling circumstances doesn't automatically absolve one of the consequences of their actions. It's another layer of the victim mindset beliving that being hurt themselves gives them a free pass to hurt others. A pattern I've seen time and time again. As ways, I'm not going to act like I'm above feeling like I get irrationally and disproportionately targeted for the slightest mistake, at the same time, I'm not going to use that as an excuse to lash out at people who've done nothing to me.

The Italian men's rights movement is largely about removing the stigma so boys & men can learn how to take care of themselves.

Where you do have the mothers who insist on being nurturing to a fault that basicaclly devolves from being supported to outright enabling your child and treating them as the golden sun who can do no wrong.Combined with the type of parents who treat familial love as transactional. It's all just one vicious cycle of emotionally damaged people hurting each other. And it's both the overly permissive "Any discipline or boundary is abusive", mothers, and the overly authortitarian "No infraction is too small, all crimes are equal" mothers who are seting their children up for disaster.

A couple of points though. I would say that the Manosphere making the implications that they do is more of a compromise in how they market themselves between giving men an appetizing incentive to participate in society and giving them something to aspire to be that will make certain types of women find them attractive from a distance without having to have the man open his mouth and talk and embarrass himself. What is available for free on youtube is mostly just bs that attracts traffic, while serving as a strawman for the pearl-cluchers to knock down. Men who have no means at all can at least commiserate with other dudes while they try to start climbing. Actually getting anywhere socially does indeed take social skills. But men also are looking for what tends to work. And that is being the guy and having the things. Men aren't going to be getting that for free without some major changes in how people treat relationships. Both of the sexes have some various points of resentment with each other in their life stages. Knowing how to navigate this thing is something that is valuable and I get that people want the problem to be solved but the problem is complicated. It involves a lot of "doing something" and then "waiting and seeing". Lots of people can't handle that. I foresee a new sort of councilor emerging to tackle this problem. Current ones can't do it. They are either ideologically compromised or their best and most visible members have incentive to throw men under the bus or relegate them to the social doghouse. Telling men that they need to disown the manosphere isn't it, in my opinion. Because in doing that, they're throwing men under the bus once again. For nothing at all this time. Tons of men live disconnected lives and are eager for a fight to prove themselves. But they don't want that "proof" to be revoked either once their new friends get sick of them and their demands.

The Trump administration has a lot of prominent wealthy & promiscuous older men married to young, pretty woman, starting with Trump himself and Melania. Karoline Leavitt is married to a rich man over twice her age. Musk of course has had numerous younger lovers. It's not typical but it's what they see. Data still seems fuzzy, but the modern dating environment may also be an issue. The younger generation is used to a dating environment that depends heavily on online apps. That can be a brutal, winner take all system for men. There's also evidence that an exceptionally high percentage of Gen Z lack romantic & sexual experience. Which can make men bitter and might be part of the reason we're seeing young men around the world swinging right politically. But it also likely to teach men that it is very important to be in the top few percent somehow if you want a love life. Can't change your height and there's only so much you can do about looks, so resources are the most practical option for ordinary men. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d0KZH0VRmE COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d0KZH0VRmE&lc=Ugzlo34A2oNAapIdlRh4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250321 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @BetterWithBob AUTHOR_ID: UC9hTzXnwFm5KrtdC-_z9tBw TEXT: "Would you like some of my resources?"

Not a comic book guy, beyond some cartoons and movies but I been gagging for that game ever since i played her in Injustice 2 and thought she was the coolest thing ever. i would have swallowed every woke thing i hate and every monetisation BS ramped up to the max just to play a monolith style wonder woman game. Manosphere stuff has been in the news a lot in the uk because of a netflix? show called "adolescence", based on a true story i believe (with some race swapping for Political correctness) which has provoked feminist media/propaganda onslaught, so i've been thinking about it a lot, and i guess i'll try to express some thoughts. The manosphere exploits men, from what i can see, in two main ways. 1 is the andrew tate way of directly trying to take your money by presenting himself as a teacher who can teach you out of your problems and selling you his teachings. You could argue, say Jordan Peterson in this category, personally i like him. The other is by creating content with the goal of making money by perhaps being intellectually dishonest either deliberately or out of their own bitterness. But yanno saying what they think will get views basically. It props up their ego to present themselves as having the answers too, so if you think JP is motivated by that you could argue that on him too. But men, naturally as humans aren't really looking to dehumanise themself in to the icon of masculinity that tate proposes/projects himself as. The way you say it manipulates men of like teach them to spew manosphere stuff at people seems kinda wrong cos it's certainly nto teaching them that as a way fo getting what they want. Mansophere (the toxic parts feminism highlights msot at least) generally teaches to avoid talking about that stuff and instead to just being calculated and manipulative to women. I think this represents how most "manosphere" men aren't fully aligned with what andrew tate is selling, it's just about trying to recognise the truthful parts of what he says and he became the focal point of it because he gets propped up by the media because he can be held up as a bad example of evil mansphere. The nuance is widely recognised by people that watch the content even if it isn't in the content. I know nothing about kids but perhaps there is a real danger of young boys not having any nuanced perspective on it. The dehumanisation of men is something that is ingrained in our society because it is ingrained in our biology. You're simply not gonna solve equality issues unless you account for that. And feminism instead fundamentally exploits this. The widespread feminist stimgmatisation of men as incels and of incels and the dehumanisation with which they treat men's reproductive/romantic aspirations is the prime example. Feminism prioritises the use of shame as a manipulation tactic over the humanisation of men and in many other similar ways too. And for as long as they continue to dominate the issue with their approach, you're only going to push men towards the andrew tate approach or worse. You spoke about the general conversations becoming toxic but I feel that's literally by design. A leftist tactic to make every conversation hyper emotional and frame opponents as nazis. You can see how Trump types employs it too, everything is about woke mind virus and while i personally agree with the woke mind virus as a very real thing and important issue, not everything should be about it and it's very convenient to be able to make everything about that. Mainstream/Radical feminism is unique in that is has managed to psotiion itself and embed itself structurally in society in a way where it gets away with this though. Feminist leftism has the upperhand in this tactic because of the biological dehumanisation issue. The one most important aspect of this issue that i think prevents any progress is the idea of responsibility among women. Until women accept that they have great power socially, they're not oppressed victims, feel a responsibility to men equal to that which they foist upon men for women, and embrace in this the humility to accept that they can as a group act in ways that are not right towards men, which is perhaps the most demonised perspective of our feminist society. And certainly i see aspects of that in you and others, but i dont think it's mainstream at all. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d0KZH0VRmE COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d0KZH0VRmE&lc=UgytIEEVtYf18YabUo54AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250321 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @brettforsyth4842 AUTHOR_ID: UCJhQT6mF0bwSEi4FQ056REQ TEXT: I think a big reason why the manosphere always weaponizes “mating and resources” is because animal courtship tends to be simpler to understand. There are less social and emotional politics involved when you are say, a stag fighting for a mate and defending your patch of grass from rivals. But in that sense, the goal of the stag is to mate with as many females as possible before the window of opportunity closes. Humans, at least most humans, seek emotional connection when it comes to finding a partner due to our complex psychological needs. The manosphere strips the nuances of our courtship behavior by simplifying it to base instincts. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d0KZH0VRmE COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d0KZH0VRmE&lc=UgwkBRqWuiod8cxtAtR4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250321 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @neilvarma AUTHOR_ID: UC_9bX8q25qDIzzL9LSL07JQ TEXT: It’s interesting .. much like feminism the manosphere has a mix of grifters, sexists, genuine people and legitimate concerns For example The PUAs are just parasites who exploit people The incels are people who need help but are radicalized into extremism; ironically I know you don’t like him but Jordan Peterson has some legitimate help to a few incels The red pill bros are mostly just grifters or Andrew Tate The MRAS are legitimate mostly.

You understand, depending on the type of issues, there will be both good and bad times that can make it difficult to remain patient, but if that person is actually a friend you find ways to make it work and be as supportive as you can. There may be nothing you can do at times beyond that, no way to know when a bad stretch might come up, and nothing you can control about it. I say that last part because the moment you try to 'fix' something that may not even be fixable, only managed through various techniques and perhaps medicines, you start trying to control that person through your view of how they 'should' be rather than how they are. If you have your own issues to deal with, we all do. Sometimes you need your own space, or a little time away from someone to let something calm down, whatever. That should not be disqualifying. Sometimes your situation takes precedence over someone else's, but if the friendship is real you come back to each other in that sense in due time because you understand each other's warts and flaws along with the good things, and you accept the whole package as-is. You don't come up with your own reasons about 'why' people are the way they are based on whatever you're going through personally. You don't try to accuse them of somehow trying to use their condition to their advantage. That gets into the territory of acting like you know better. I certainly wouldn't create a rambling video suggesting to others how to be friends with people who have mental health issues while at the same time using my social media accounts to present one-sided attacks on them in order to make myself look better. After, I should add, a failed friendship I decide to blame on mental health and attempts to manipulate when it was barely an issue when I agreed with the person for so long while being friends. Speaking of manipulation, someone needs to explain this to you: when somebody is attempting to manipulate others and that person happens to be trans, calling out the manipulation in no way, shape, or form makes someone transphobic. That's just an attempt to divert focus and shift blame by reframing the narrative toward something in your favor. It doesn't hold water. If a friendship falls apart because of differences that can't be overcome, you just have to move on and live your own life instead of dwelling on it for months. Repeatedly going after someone suggests unresolved issues of your own that you may be trying to redirect onto others in order to try to convince followers that a failed friendship is all the other side's fault, never your own at all. Another important point: if somebody isn't all right with how the breakup of a friendship is discussed in public by you and they talk about it with others, and you spend months in a one-sided attempt to tell everyone that their objections are about something different than what they're actually saying, isn't that you using their mental health against them? You have spent months gaslighting people with mental health issues all in an effort to paint yourself to your followers as some kind person whose only fault is just caring too much. You have shown no interest in presenting a fair or balanced accounting of reality, and you play the victim while attempting to bully like few others in an attempt to feed your own massive ego, all while trying to have others who can expose your lies silenced. Seek to fix your own issues before you attempt to do the same to others. It sounds like the title of this video should have been something more like "I'm Cool Being Friends With People, With or Without Mental Issues, Until They're No Longer Useful To Me." ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6j4Uig3lnsc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6j4Uig3lnsc&lc=UgyFNjVt0htRqZVsv4Z4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251008 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @trdsf AUTHOR_ID: UCsQYLtKpfAtKgwLJcL8Hd6A TEXT: You really can't make those kind of assumptions about other people.

First everyone has baggage that can be called a mental health condition. Second, you are friends with folks that have mental health conditions the same way you are with anyone. The general topic of the video seems like it was chosen as a piot point to give you space to talk less about individuals with mental health conditions and more about your issues with being friends with particular people in your life with mental health struggles. It comes across less like advice, and more like performing friendship to avoid authentic friendship because the other person has a mental health condition.

There is a difference between being superficially rejected because you are a bit off-beat or have a mental health diagnosis and being ultimately rejected because you exploit your own quirkiness or diagnosis to live in an accountability-free zone.

Because it's real easy to people to weaponize their mental issues as a get out of jail free card. it's a real insidious cover to accuse others of "punching down" on someone with mental illness to personally absolve themselves of scruitany. Because if you're privy to this sort of thing you can tell with some people that deep down that they're thinking "I'm shocked that my actions have consiquences, because I never had to face consiquences before because I'm too used to being surrounded by enablers who indulge every poor decision I make!" Doubly so with hypocrites who are quick to accuse others of using their mental illness or disability as an excuse, yet turn around and do the exact same thing.

Which has already been rewritten from the original. 😅 Victor's Arcane arc is significantly different than the Blitzcrank-building (accidental sentient defense golem) dude, but this Victor is arguable more interesting, and shares enough with the original character that it at least seems like a version of him with similar beliefs. Dragon Age shows off its characters and world in depth. Changing that around (like turning a religion into a race: an odd change) is gonna rustle some feathers. Plus the potentially offensive/stereotyped characters or details are only going to annoy those who know the stereotypes. Also, gotta agree on the "is this woke" debate.

Unfortunately, it's not like trying to reach a healthy middle ground would be an easy feat either, because they immedately assume that taking the middle stance means, either being too afraid to pick a side, or compromising with the "enemy". It's always the all-or-nothing "Us vs them", "Coke vs Pepsi", "SNES vs Genesis", "Autobots vs Decepticons" tribalistic way of thinking It's just yet again a consiquence of the team sports-ification of most forms of discourse these days.

I was military so I did have training on discipline and restraint, but it was when I went to Iraq that I learned about breathing exercises from a motivational lecture before we left. He pitched at something that would need more when we back as opposed to out there and he was 1,000% correct. I was at a pretty average restaurant, something like a Panera bread, When I suddenly felt like I didn't deserve to be there. My emotions went wildly out of control. Like it didn't feel like me. It's strange that people always describe them as tornadoes because it does actually feel like there's a swirling movement to it. Breathing exercises place a direct leash on the subconscious mind. And I was able to wrangle myself back. I've also used them to walk my mother through when her boyfriend got ran over. (He's ok, but we did know yet) You just can't describe it until you experience it and you realize what a real panic attack actually is. I think it should be added to the basic training. Honestly maybe it should be taught in schools. But back to your subject, I've also found them useful for just average emotionally charged incidents. If I can remember to control my breathing I can do it quietly inside my head It's incredibly powerful at maintaining patients and composure. It helps you gather information and pause while still moving forward. It's just easy to forget that it's in the tool kit. I have a gif on my desktop at work that has a breathing exercise graphic on it. It's been useful many times. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4ybKc57isA COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4ybKc57isA&lc=Ugzaf4G6k-xH-M4xbK54AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251020 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TheArceusftw AUTHOR_ID: UCynpVSnrzeDrdMqNSOHzCNQ TEXT: "Just stop" for me, It's all a matter of knowing how to pick your battles. Assessing the situation, and know when a conflict isn't worth it, and just walking away. Because in some scenarios, it really can be as simple as going "The best way to win is to not play at all." Especially when it's abundantly clear that you're dealign with blatant ragebait, or just some fool filled with sound and fury.(Again, it's the classic internet addage of "Don't feed the trolls") It's also one of those matters where it seems like certain people are just given a free pass or more social allowances because of their social status, or pretty privlige to just act however they want while hypocritically chasiting others for flying off the handle. This is why I remain sceptical of all the "Mental health matters" from certain parts of the internet. BEcause they only care about mental health when it's convient for them, or when the person struggles fits the UWU soft boy small bean innocent baby trophy victim mold , or some drop-dead gorgeous figure who looks like they were summoned out of a YA romance novel.(And these are the same people who condemn rainbow capitalism, when what they're doing is practically the same empty platitudes of awareness but in a different font.) Doubly so for hypocrytes who criticize ofthers of hiding behind their mental illness as an excuse for their actions, but turn around and pull the "You triggered me!" card whenever their confronted on their unscrupulous actions.(Don't you just love double standards?) ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4ybKc57isA COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4ybKc57isA&lc=Ugxk-Nrql5pQ-YsBK194AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251020 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @neilvarma AUTHOR_ID: UC_9bX8q25qDIzzL9LSL07JQ TEXT: The red lipstick looks good on you ngl ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk2vsB_Y5Ic COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk2vsB_Y5Ic&lc=UgzDlbYGKTbxnXUhatR4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250922 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @visaman AUTHOR_ID: UCVmzmLAWc0RMFscQCz13wFQ TEXT: I just turned 61 two weeks ago.

Let's put it this way: most (not all) female English teachers had a field day trying to rope me in instead of inspire confidence. The kids in class would speak to the teacher whenever they thought there was some kind of incident and I'd get sent to the principal. The male teachers were comparatively chill--rarely did I have any issue in their classes. I guess it has something to do with solving any situation involving one very tall guy with an irritable mood and plethora of uppity detractors by singling him out for blame instead of addressing the entire class, thus imposing blame on everyone else while also stretching one's limits of authority. The female teachers probably felt more at ease with singling that one case out, while the male ones opted to either reason with him or notice where conflicts actually came from. No, it's not to increase the number of male teachers--that's a ludicrous ask. It's to offer me the shot at presenting a case and being heard. If they wouldn't, but they are also now adults, then I cannot expect my current generation to do likewise then or now. It's hard to be told you have academic chops when they cannot emerge in a vacuum, and I would have preferred the vacuum. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk2vsB_Y5Ic COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk2vsB_Y5Ic&lc=UgyRqamOJ5OqgHGe2y14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250922 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Tnu1138 AUTHOR_ID: UCvcDm_QxP2DHVVJzEpS4t0w TEXT: My guess is that sprots are seen as productive and character buildign so they get a free pass. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk2vsB_Y5Ic COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk2vsB_Y5Ic&lc=UgyLJJwj1RZPgoZk8c94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250922 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @neilvarma AUTHOR_ID: UC_9bX8q25qDIzzL9LSL07JQ TEXT: Noting down the ideas here ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk2vsB_Y5Ic COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk2vsB_Y5Ic&lc=UgzfeZG7ZKvktCr0xph4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250922 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TheArceusftw AUTHOR_ID: UCynpVSnrzeDrdMqNSOHzCNQ TEXT: This is another hard hitting one. I could relate to feeling like nobody truely understood me, and I had no proper space to air out my grievances, combine that with the sense that I was being fed alot of mixed messages in my teen years, bullying, emotional isolation(Most of which is self inflicted), alot of autistic self hate, feeling like I haven't grown up and grew up too fast at the same time, and a heavy load of emotional damage from the death of my dog it really just weighed down on me and ultimately left me with a lot of pent up resentment towards the world that ultimatelly petered out into a perpetual state of emotional numbness. And now I feel emotionally stuck, being in a disassociative limbo of having enough mental energy to get through a regular day, but not really being entirely there emotionally. Nor to mention constantly feeling like I need permission to live my own life fully. Again, Inadvertadly training myself to just keep my head down, speak only when spoken to, and otherwise focus on my assigned tasks and the possibility of the worst possible outcome will naturally just zero out. Ultimately the best way to reach boys is to listen to their grievances. Becuase listening is a two way street. They listen to you, you listen to them. It's really that simple. Dial back the lecturing, the scolding, and the moral purity tests, and actually be there for your boys. Honestly that's my big problem with alot of modern Feminist rhetoric(Especially during the gamergate days). It was that it was more focus on alot of condescending moralistic finger waging. When it wasn't just a bunch of recycled "Video games cause violence" speak but repackaged in feminist font, it was a constant stream of "Misogynistic behavior has gone unchecked in fandom spaces for far too long, and if you don't constantly call it out, your part of the problem". And I'm just left therd dumbfounded going "I'm just one guy, I can't solve all the world's problems at once!" and "The only person I should be held responsible and accountable for is me, I'm not responsible for every messed up boy who decides follow in the footsteps of the Isla Vista killer!" And while there was alot of pushback, unfortunately the well has been poisoned by alot of bad actors who just use it as a springboard for their own idealogical gains. Ultimately again leaving me stuck without a paddle, and feeling like people only see me as a pawn in their game. Likewise, we do have to excise caution to avoid risking swinging into outright indulging and rewarding bad behaviors, you still set clear boundaries and consiquences.(Because when it comes to child discipline it seems like we end up in either extreme of "All crmes are equal, every infraction no matter how small deserves a paddling" authoritarianism, or "Free wheeling, no discipline, no consiquences, reward every tantrum" permissiviness. But that's an entirely different conversation.) All I'm saying, is there's more to parenting than discipline, it's also being there for your child, and setting up a judgement free zone to air out feelings. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk2vsB_Y5Ic COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk2vsB_Y5Ic&lc=UgxHAAmF5sSYvzTV6BZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250922 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @michaellewis1545 AUTHOR_ID: UCz_-lre8IsZv1nPr-xgfeAQ TEXT: So this is tangential topic but I wanted to expand on what is like to play a sport. Since you usually see man bad or crude behavior described as locker room behavior. So I played American Football all for year High School and two year in Middle school so I spent a fair amount time in locker rooms. While yes I did hear some of the talk that would be described as vulgar and racist along with bullying it was not as universal or constant as it made out in media. Most of the talk was about the latest movie, what you where going this weekend and other stuff the teenage stiff. The reason why I played six years of football because of three main reasons. The first reason is because it was fun a lot of hard work but the challenge was and winning was a lot of fun. The second reason was because I was able to build a community by putting in the work of always showing up to practice and doing things like spending time in the school weight room in the off season. Ture I was never top dog or anything like that but you can gain respect by putting in the effort of showing up and putting in the work. At the very least you earn you way as being seen as part of the group. The thrid reason is it gave me a purpose that I got to chose. Since no was telling me I had to play football, I got a sense of ownership and accomplishment because I chose to do something and did it.

It's my first comment on your channel: Honestly, I think boys could really benefit from going back to mentorship or apprenticeship-style education, like how it was before modern schools took over. Those old systems offered hands-on, practical learning with a mentor who gave personalized guidance, structure, and real-world skills. Boys often thrive when they can learn by doing, see the immediate purpose of their work, and build trust with a role model who holds them accountable while supporting their emotional growth. Unlike modern schools that often label boys as “troublemakers,” mentorships focus on their strengths and progress, fostering discipline and resilience without making them feel alienated. But I get that we can’t just scrap the entire education system. Instead, we could blend these old-school methods into modern schooling to bridge the gap. Schools could introduce vocational training, mentorship programs, and project-based learning to give boys more hands-on, purposeful education. By focusing on practical skills, emotional awareness, and nurturing relationships, this hybrid approach could tackle the unique struggles boys face, helping them succeed both academically and personally. We could also get parents involved through workshops where mentors teach them how to support their sons’ development at home. Using boys’ interests—like gaming, sports, or whatever they’re into—as engagement tools can make learning more relevant and enjoyable for them. Instead of harsh punishments, focusing on restorative practices would allow boys to reflect on their mistakes and learn constructively. Emotional support is key too. Regular check-ins with counselors or mentors trained in emotional awareness can help boys develop healthier coping mechanisms and feel understood. Plus, building partnerships between schools, local businesses, and community organizations could provide real-world apprenticeship opportunities and a supportive network. I have to disagree with what you were saying about how traditional roles are not a causation but just a correlation. In my opinion, it’s not a correlation because traditional roles are a foundational influence on how boys perceive themselves and the expectations placed on them. When boys are told they need to “toughen up” or suppress their emotions to fit a rigid ideal, I think it’s not necessarily because of society, but because of what they’re directly or indirectly taught by the people who raise them—like their parents or other authority figures. It’s something boys naturally gravitate towards as they emulate the examples they’re exposed to, including fictional characters like Batman, Superman, Goku, or One Punch Man. These characters portray strength, resilience, and emotional control in a way that inspires boys to try and model themselves after them. The problem is that boys often misunderstand how those traits work. They see the stoicism and physical strength but fail to recognize the emotional depth and complexity those characters actually have. For instance, Goku’s optimism, Batman’s deep sense of responsibility, and Superman’s empathy are just as important as their physical strength, yet boys often focus only on the surface-level “toughness” they display. This incomplete understanding leads to the suppression of emotions and the belief that showing vulnerability is weakness. If boys were guided to see the full picture—how these traits are balanced—they could better understand how to navigate their own emotional and practical development without feeling like they’re failing to meet some unattainable standard. I also think most boys, and even men, tend to break rules not because they want to be rebels but because they’re wired to figure out how things work. Biologically and psychologically, men have a tendency to explore, test, and even break things as a way to understand their environment. This instinct isn’t inherently bad, but the problem today is that many boys don’t know how to channel it in a healthy way. Bringing back mentorship and apprenticeship, like we had before standardized education systems, could help guys like myself—and even women with similar personality traits—learn how to explore and experiment constructively. It would give us the guidance we need to understand the world while developing the skills and discipline to succeed. By weaving mentorship and apprenticeship elements into our current system, we could transform education into something that truly supports boys’ growth and potential. It’s about giving them the structure, support, and practical skills they need to succeed—not just in school, but in life. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQQGMw80LJk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQQGMw80LJk&lc=UgyU8Ri1_4eEWk6XIrt4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241209 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ClockworkAvatar AUTHOR_ID: UCFuW1XKRvqPishd4IS-1F9w TEXT: Step 1: Don't treat boys like they are broken girls. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQQGMw80LJk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQQGMw80LJk&lc=Ugy-wY0PzU6Fjdp8aHp4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241209 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @seansweeney638 AUTHOR_ID: UCweZBvxBJufkpYfp967wZwg TEXT: I have had a hard time listening for a while.

I remember so much of this from my childcare days. There was this thing among especially the boys where asking them to stop a certain behavior would lead to an escalation of said behavior. I honestly think it was because so many of their parents didn't give an opportuntiy to course correct. The parent sees the behavior they don't like. They ask their kid to stop but then don't give them any time to comply and a punishment inevitably follows. Pointing out the behavior is inextricably linked with consequences for the behavior. So given that, may as well keep misbehaving till the hammer falls. I dealt with this by making sure I made time and space for course correction and praised kids who got themselves back on track. There was one time I remember when two boys were playing chess and started sqaubling. I came over and one of them said their friend made an illegal move. A glance at the board showed that was pretty obvious. They asked me what I thought and I said, "I think that chess is a game that requires honesty. If you can play honestly, then there is no issue. If you can't, we'll put the game away." It took about 10 seconds for the boy who'd made the illegal move to take it back. I thanked him and started to walk away when they asked, "so we can still play?" I said, "There was an issue and you fixed it so I don't see why not. Just no more illegal moves, ok?" They were really happy that one mistake didn't lead to a full consequence of losing their chess privileges. They went strictly by the form book after that. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQQGMw80LJk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQQGMw80LJk&lc=UgzHSnukj9dX15OVmHR4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241209 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TheArceusftw AUTHOR_ID: UCynpVSnrzeDrdMqNSOHzCNQ TEXT: Really, showing compassion to students is the key. But unfortunately some people seem to have the idea that showing any sort of compromise, or flexibility with children is the same as outright enabling bad behavior and letting children run amok with no discipline or consiquences whatsoever. I wish more people would understand that there's a difference between authoritative parenting/teaching and just outright overly permissive parenting/teaching. While it's important to set boundaries with children, at the same time expecting children to be mindlessly obedient robots who can't exprese any sort of autonomy in their choices is just too far gone. Children are still humans, and are still entitled to basic human rights. Likewise, that feeling of "constantly anticipating a negative outcome, only for it to not happen and then falling into a state of self punishment" is another one of those issues that just hits hard for me. Because it's one of thoses things that I constantly find myself slipping into on my worse days, and is probably the root cause of my bouts with imposter syndrome. like I constantly fear the worst possible outcome when I mess up and always either anticipate the hardest form of retaliation imaginable. And when it does it, i just end up spiralling into a negative feedback loop of self punishment. It's alot of reasons why I felt a sense of autistic self hatred during my teenage years. a constant fear of being seen as "getting special treatment" or being lumped in with those people who use autism as an excuse for problematic behavior. It's like a really messed up form of self accountabilty, that I probaby need to unlearn. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQQGMw80LJk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQQGMw80LJk&lc=UgyR7_fCZmIE8OZC6aN4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241209 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @a.f.watcher8888 AUTHOR_ID: UC73ztY5KZaSfimDw0lSAlQg TEXT: Shoeonhead sums up my thoughts. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns9TMFpwCBU COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns9TMFpwCBU&lc=UgwHXGBnbldVyGqvJPB4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250604 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: I'm listening, while playing Minecraft!

I think both sides are in too deep now. It's more of is the conduct matching the ideal fair treatment they also wish to have shown to themselves. It has to be fair both ways or people get taken for a ride no matter their politics. Once good faith communication has been smashed like a cake it's hard to see the world wanting to trust again without a handcuff to handcuff situation. The listen and stop has to matter, if the situations is going to resolve itself. Throwing words at it just doesn't force the needle, when the needle is just visibly absent. (politics for sure) Basically, the fucking around in society has to stop or there will be no peace. Positive morality has to still exist, so those of us who are in need of people who give a fuck CAN still have a ear to listen to us. That has to be protected and it's not. Positive morality that's not clearly out to fuck over an other for no reason has to be fought for and it has to be allowed to protect itself as well. How can it fight off Negative morality, if it's not allowed to call in backup from time to time. Positive morality is just one state of mind in this crazy world. There's a point to this. Sometimes a fight is just fated and we are helping or not. A little bit of positive morality isn't hard, so every little bit fucking helps. It's all politics.

It can be a juvenile way of not taking any accountability for how you've reacted to somebody else and it serves to coddle people, or gives them justification to strike back and hurt somebody who didn't have bad intentions to start with. This way of thinking also plays into the hands of people who are acting in bad faith. There could be hundreds of ways to interpret what somebody has said, but if the person on the other end is looking for a fight or has a problem with you, they will choose the least charitable interpretation possible. I've had too many of these interactions where what I've said has been twisted and what they drew from my words was off on a tangent that I could never have predicted. Because I started getting defensive, I took a hard line stance in the other direction and went with the mantra 'I will only take responsibility for my words and others are responsible for their interpretation'. My stance became too hardline and made me feel less human or empathetic (after dealing with some very dishonest actors). But taking this stance is also a position that can be weaponised for gaslighting, hiding behind dog whistles or any other practice that leads to dishonesty of intent. I now feel that it should be a case by case basis and maybe there is mix of impact and intent that should both be considered, where appropriate. The intent-only or impact-only arguments, unfortunately, are an easy weapon for bad faith actors and manipulators. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns9TMFpwCBU COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns9TMFpwCBU&lc=Ugx1QKsTOed2qposOxV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250604 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @NekoAV1134 AUTHOR_ID: UCjwU0W1iYCCSgxgTtMCEzmA TEXT: I've noticed that a lot of the problem comes from people believing they are right and anyone who disagrees is wrong.

Particularly with self-deprecating humour, though not exclusively. Turning everything into a joke lets you avoid being authentically yourself. When you're "the funny one" it's easy to keep people at arms reach, side-step criticism and avoid difficult conversations. Ultimately it prevents someone from being vulnerable, which is often the best opportunity for growth and self love. On a related note: Professional comedians tend to score poorly on self esteem and mental health metrics. (if I could remember the source for this I would include it, but it's been a long time since I studied) Not to disagree with the last point in the video, though. Humour is an important tool. Just if humour is your ONLY tool, that's probably not a good sign. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgNVOal0aUs COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgNVOal0aUs&lc=Ugy-ybxw72cD9tw_SId4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250414 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Dwavenhobble AUTHOR_ID: UCSe3Phjrbm5DiAZbTeJka1Q TEXT: I think part of the constantly critical not liking things is a sign of the present state of "the culture war" because people don't want to like something or express liking for it because some activists have been going "We're going to now try to take over this thing you love and ruin it" It becomes a sort of humiliation ritual of "Look what we can do with this thing you like" it's the villain trying to keep taking things from the hero. So as people have watched things they were fans of crash and burn they don't want people to know what they now like lest it become the new target. Especially for those already marked as the wrong people who have the wrong views because there's basically no option of changing that status once you've been deemed an enemy and being marked as an enemy marks you for being targeted so anything you show affinity for will also become a target. I'd love another series of "My undead Yokai Girlfriend" but not if to get Season 2 it would mean letting some-one take charge who makes it so Izzy actually is a lesbian who is being held back from true love by the selfish Tadashi. That's not what the show is or what got me into it nah I want more supernatural ability / magic infused Ninja fights, some comedy and a fairly heart warming romance plot in a nice reverse Isekai package. Equally though I think Warrior Nun looks interesting and if I wasn't still refusing to pay for Netflix on vaguely moral grounds (I object to no royalties being paid no matter how well a show does and only an up front fee) I'd probably give it a try and I'm guessing it's fanbase would be fairly upset if suddenly she was straight. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgNVOal0aUs COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgNVOal0aUs&lc=UgwmVKKwX5v7rXVioG54AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250414 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @No_Name_Monke AUTHOR_ID: UCXP8EZZ_NrbwrJ_F4UsrERg TEXT: 1:09 Ok let's see if you know what self-esteem is today. 1:28 No actually.

I hate the Sims because Sim City (SNES) is so much better and I expect things to improve over time. Even Sim Ant is better than The Sims. As you said, the only thing The Sims had going for it was its marketing--the team's power to cultivate a mass following of players. That can also be said of Final Fantasy VII. VIII's world was cooler, but they made compilations and remakes dedicated to VII as ubiquitous as they are ancillary. To be positive, Final Fantasy VII demonstrated one of the most faithful depictions of mental illness around. Most claim it's Cloud, but that's too obvious. It's Aerith, for having bipolar disorder. Or, so I've seen. I didn't know (or worse, forgot) that developers for The Last of Us Part II used Christian references for textures in the Jewish synagogues. What jerks! And they never acknowledged you. I bet it's to maintain the illusion of them knowing what they're doing and maintaining a creative direction free from interference. Unlike Ubisoft, who listens too much to everyone at once and can't orchestrate a coherent project. For the last point, the ladies who ask first about what someone's friends are like as an indicator of what to expect out of them, that's an utterly reprehensible way of going about things. How are they supposed to know how a man thinks unless they ask him point-blank? You can't build telecom industries out of nudges and nods.

Lots of people are bullied as kids and don't take it out on other people as adults. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgNVOal0aUs COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgNVOal0aUs&lc=Ugx0LtENpF8iVNLKT_J4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250414 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @captainmaim AUTHOR_ID: UCTGS8ZBLw3EckQQtKAxoyEg TEXT: Love you Liana! ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SGf9fFnVHs COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SGf9fFnVHs&lc=UgzXwXrcDNOX0Ce05cd4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250411 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @captainmaim AUTHOR_ID: UCTGS8ZBLw3EckQQtKAxoyEg TEXT: I did not realize that women universalize my statements to a standard of measurement.

I do find some modern AAA female characters ugly but it's a weird uncanny valley thing where like 95% of the women I see day to day look better than them, to me they don't even represent average women and how they look.

There's just something that feels off about a lot of modern designs and I'm some-one who thinks Lae'zel is attractive, in her own slightly unconventional way. Also isn't treating all women as a large group misogynistic so wouldn't it be a misogynistic for people to be seeing one female video game character being called ugly as representative of peoples views on all women. I also don't get the whole "Manosphere" thing, like who is the Manosphere? Is it Jordan Peterson, clean your room and try to self improve whose gone further and further off the rails it seems because wasn't part of Dragon Ball the idea of trying to improve oneself to take on challenges?

If kids watch this, they are likely to target boys who are percrived as being lonely, odd or socially awkward and then tease them with the word 'incel'. I predict that this word would be thrown around by confetti to describe any boy who doesn't fit 'the mould'. Self-fulfilling prophecies can be created, especially when younger people have not developed a solid sense of identity at this stage of development. Those that are incorrectly labelled as incels are likely to find each other and research the very term that they have been called and just like that, an issue that we want to address has instead been amplified. If we want young men to develop a positive identity for themselves, showing this to a cohort of students is the wrong way of going about it. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SGf9fFnVHs COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SGf9fFnVHs&lc=Ugw1TVGHmHud7DJo1m94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250411 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @neilvarma AUTHOR_ID: UC_9bX8q25qDIzzL9LSL07JQ TEXT: The scene with the adult woman breaking down after the convo was legitimately hilarious to me- idk why ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SGf9fFnVHs COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SGf9fFnVHs&lc=Ugx_fZmBiy5oKtFRpfR4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250411 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Blunderful_Disasterpiece AUTHOR_ID: UCVpt99B2qL6cigCquIMJkcw TEXT: Hi Liana (sorry for the long-ass comment). I wanted to tell a good-vibes story. I think it touches on a few of the things you mentioned in the video, like your science teacher who positively affected your opinions of men. In my late teens and basically my entire twenties, I was an easy target for the whole manosphere grift (to be honest, I was pretty much the ripest, lowest-hanging fruit they could have targeted with their content) I ticked all the boxes: single nerd, low self esteem, friends with the girls but not "boyfriend material", felt ugly etc. And I was just socially-minded enough to know that, while I largely agreed with feminism, elements of it seemed a pretty hostile towards people like me. Despite being an easy mark, I'VE NEVER FALLEN FOR THEIR BULLSHIT. Not because there's something special or different about me. But because at every stage of my life, when blaming women for all the worlds problems might have worked to make my problems seem easier. Some stroke of luck has put a good natured, compassionate woman in my path like the bumpers on a bowling lane. JUST BY TREATING ME LIKE I'M A PERSON and proving the bastards wrong about women as a whole. You are one such woman. (I worry that sounds a little dramatic or brown-nosey, I do want this to read as a good-vibes story about the internet videos you make, but I digress) Whilst I haven't kept up with your channel in the years since and am only recently returning to watch more, I first started watching your videos when I was at Uni. And it was, in fact, one of your videos that first introduced me to the concept of an incel. A process which went as follows: You: Mentions Incels, and say it stands for "involuntary celibate". Me (in my ignorance): Ooh, that sounds like me, because I've never done le sex. You: Proceeds to give an accurate description of what incels ACTUALLY are, and how it's all just a con to perpetuate misogynist ideals and take advantage of young & lonely men. Me: Oh, that doesn't sound like me at all and now I feel ashamed for thinking "it me". I like to believe that, even without your video, I never would have fallen down the incel pipeline, but I was lonely, depressed and, honestly, pretty vulnerable. How and where you first learn about something matters. And learning about it from you definitely helped keep me on the right track. Looking at the way my life was back then, it's not hard to imagine myself getting swept up by the wrong group of people who shared my problems or believing the wrong person when they claimed to be a friend. Despite being an embarrassing anecdote (I felt disgusted with myself at the time), it's one I'm glad to share publicly. I watched so many of your videos back at uni. Because you never stopped talking about men like we were PEOPLE. And that tiny little bit of compassion was something I sorely needed. I want you to know that, albeit a difference of debatable size, your videos made a positive difference to my life. I think we all like to believe "it could never have happened to me" and "I COULDN'T have turned out like they did." But thanks to people like you over the course of my life, it DIDN'T happen to me. I'm glad to see you haven't given up on trying to make the world less shitty. Keep proving the bastards wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SGf9fFnVHs COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SGf9fFnVHs&lc=UgyMDaP1K6D7mjq1Yq54AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250411 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @dercooney AUTHOR_ID: UCXwNe9Keuvq5glvLcA8cmeg TEXT: so, if adolescence isn't based on a true story and particularly not the recent murder in croyden as one rag thinks, then what exactly is it based on? it just sounds like reefer madness for knife crime ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SGf9fFnVHs COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SGf9fFnVHs&lc=UgxyMp0y8e75XHcR1d94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250411 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @IDontKnowMyName-tv1ze AUTHOR_ID: UC5Udlm22F6wRTQ_83NblrGg TEXT: I wish that the general discourse around the show had been more like this.

I hated them. I hated taking part in them or them being talked about. Partly because my stepfather at the time would abuse me for not being interested in football. (Soccer.) I had to fake interest in his favourite team winning to keep the peace. As I had to tolerate his abuse, to not get worse as a punishment. (He's going to be miserable and alone in his twilight years. And it is his fault. Something that puts a smile on my face.) But it does make me think that a big problem is that very few things are considered manly that actually count. And what is considered manly is shallower than the shallowest puddle. Self-respect, security in one's self, and self-control, I would consider more manly than football and sports. (These should extend to womanly traits as well.) I think it is best for me to not watch Adolescence. I am a man through and through. Both mentally and biologically. I can tell it is trying to point out a problem from what I have heard. But not coming up with solutions that actually work. Repeat "Men-bad" can only make more men go bad. I could make the argument that the public education system essentially only churns out drones to work and mindlessly zombie-strut through life. But if that's the case, then those who stand to gain from such a system will make sure nothing changes.

I enjoyed Mondays video and I thought it was great. I failed miserably at showing that but it was my intent to be positive. But I understand if that's difficult to believe. That's the most important thing I want to say. I apologize for my long comments. I know it feels like a chore. I ask that if you read further please know that my tone is soft spoken and an attempt to return to kind conversation. I love the topic of healthy masculinity. I could look up old comments of mine from half a dozen years ago on this channel about it. I remember because I was trying to make it a more heavily used word. I guess my definition is contentious but my passion has always been uplifting men. It's extremely important to me. It's why I tune into the videos that I do. A lot of the games that you've been talking about haven't been interesting to me and that's really unfortunate to me. So when I see gender stuff I genuinely want to dive in. I know how difficult it is to be a YouTube creator. And I don't mean that I /know/ from personal experience. I only mean that as an empathetic turn of phrase. Tho, It's a fun house mirror from this side as well. Something I say all the time in regular conversation like "it's easy, you got this" can take on an entirely different life. Even my last paragraph, "I know how difficult it is to be a YouTube creator." could be interpreted as more know-it-all dismissiveness. So I have to say more words to clarify and then people assume I'm angry because my comment is long. I genuinely don't know how to convey the difference between regular confidence and overconfidence in a YouTube comment. Heck, I've rewritten the first part of this comment six or seven times because I'm worried that saying "You probably don't want to hear this from me" is too presumptuous. Or saying "I don't think you want to hear this from me" Is me asserting what you're thinking. What I'm trying to say is, I'm scared to talk here. Everyone uses bigger words when they're on edge. Or when they're excited. But those big words can easily come across as being full of yourself. I again apologize that I said it was easy. I meant it in the way that people say things are easy /after/ they've found a solution. A problem that takes decades could solve could be seen as easy to apply. That was all I meant. In my head I have spent years pouring over the subject of masculinity and the philosophy of how to structure it. It is genuinely one of the most important things. I think about it so much I would probably be trans if I didn't keep falling back on the cis-gendered side. A lot of the sentiments you expressed in this video I feel as well. When you say "please" and people say you're being demanding. Or when you answer a question and people say you're forcing your beliefs on them. It's horrible having thousands of people on the internet dump negativity on you. But it's also difficult when a creator you enjoy makes an example of you in front of thousands of people as well. Even when they don't say your name. Anonymity doesn't help how it feels when it's your words being misinterpreted. I don't have any solutions either. I could only suggest that you at least reach out to the person once. Simply asking me "Hey man, why are you being so negative on a positive conversation?" would have been with an immediate "Woah, My bad that's not what I meant at all!". I completely understand how difficult it is to take the entire internet on a case-by-case basis. But we can't course correct miscommunications without at least a single attempt to clarify. And not about everything. Just maybe the conversations that are about the people in the conversation. Again I know you're not asking me, But maybe negative interactions in your community aren't a good jumping off point for discussions. There's more than enough negativity in the gamer ecosystem to talk about. And lastly, I ask you to please understand that the anonymity and generalizing the response only makes communication more difficult. My greatest joys on this channel have been when you've read my comments. It makes me happy that you liked what I thought was a good point or idea. That is what I want out of being here. You don't need to read my name or give me credit. I don't need validation. What I want to do genuine work on these topics and improve our understanding together. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbgr5NL_j38 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbgr5NL_j38&lc=Ugzkt2r8XApjUe1V7rd4AaABAg.AStmMat63VHASx1sJu9BBn UPLOAD DATE: 20260206 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-09 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: Hey man, why did you accuse me of vilifying you, not practicing what I preached, and mocking you privately - none of which is true? Why did you insist multiple people were just misunderstanding you, instead of owning that you communicated poorly? Why did you attack my character instead of just focusing on individual ideas? Why did you make sweeping generalizations and assumptions of my intent, and provide no evidence of the big discord server conspiracy you imagined? Why did you demand I stop making videos about you (which is censorship, frankly) when I never made a video about you in the first place? I made a video about an idea. You were not named. There was no focus on you. So now, since you've defined addressing anything you've talked about as making a video about you, anything you comment on is now something I have to censor, or else risk you exploding again? Why should I care that you're scared to talk, when you're demanding I censor the topics I cover for your comfort because you think that dealing with a topic you brought up is the same as making a video about you? Why don't you realize that this is a totally unfair thing to demand of a content creator? Why don't you care about how unnerving it is for a content creator to be attacked by someone hiding behind anonymity in an explosion of emotion because... I just thought you were wrong about something, my dude. I never said you were a bad person... unlike what you said about me. You all but called me a hypocrite. Why did you claim that I was demanding that you apologize, when in fact I just asked you to stop spamming? There was no demand that you apologize. If you love a topic, why shut down discussion by insisting that your research makes defining something "easy", instead of giving other people's perspectives actual weight? Why do you think you know what it's like to do something that you've never done? Why don't you see that this is not possible, and you're being unaccountable again? Why did you claim you didn't know that I respond to comments in videos, not in the comments section - since according to you, you have been watching for ten years and here you are, responding on FEEDBACK Friday? Why did you then say you like it when I read your comments, outing the claim that you didn't know that's how I respond to comments as a lie? Why do you think it's fair that I only respond to your comments when I agree with them, not realizing that this is essentially insisting I baby you? Why are you leaving out the fact that I anonymize comments precisely because I'm dealing with an idea, not attacking a person? People got harassed in the past because I named them in comments so I stopped. I've said this multiple times. Why can't you see that insisting I name you when I read your comments is in complete contradiction to your previous demand that I stop "making videos about you" - ie: responding to comments you make? Do you really not see all the ways you're trying to have it both ways here? Why do you expect me to give you personal attention when you're behaving badly, under threat that you'll continue to behave badly until I do? Why do you expect me to be your watchdog and personally tell you when you're over the line? Why don't you see that this is completely unreasonable to expect, because if I do it for you, I have to do it for everyone, and that is an unreasonable amount of time spent playing remedial social coach for people who aren't paying for the service? Furthermore, why do you think it's remotely sane for me to tell you to stop doing something, when you exploded the last time and just flat out denied you were doing anything wrong, then accused me of a bunch of character flaws and conspiracies, because you were upset? Why can't you see that this explosion in response to correction is going to make people less likely to tell you you're behaving badly, because you'll go after them in ways that you've been told by multiple people are unhinged? Why did you spam responses in my comments, then deny doing it? Why didn't you just stop spamming when you were asked to stop? "Only four" identical comments is spamming, my dude. Why did you accuse me of not giving you the benefit of the doubt, when not blocking you was, in itself, giving you benefit of doubt? Why did you bring so much hate if all you were trying to do was be positive? Why did you blame autism you didn't have for your poor conduct? Why did you claim you didn't say things were easy, when you very much did, then you didn't own that? Now you're saying you say "it's easy" all the time. But... hey, why don't you consider that people don't like it, but they can't be bothered dealing with you exploding the way you do when someone tells you to cut it out? Why can't you accept that "It's easy" in response to someone saying something is hard is minimizing, dismissive, and condescending? Why did you explode instead of taking a breath, then blame me for your poor conduct instead of, again, taking a breath? Why do you expect so much control over how things work on my channel? Why do you think you're in a position to set rules of conduct? Why didn't you listen to others in the comments, and instead suggested that there was some conspiracy against you, instead of multiple people coming to the same conclusion, independently, about your comments? Why don't you model the behaviour that you're demanding from me, and ask me questions instead of declaring things like "I've been avoiding saying this for a while, you don't practice what you preach"? Why not ask me instead "How is this consistent with this previous thing you said?" Why don't you realize that merely saying "please" doesn't change the fact that something is a demand if you're not willing to change anything about what you're doing until you're appeased? Why don't you see that something isn't a request when you spammed other commenters, who are also told you to stop, and you're refused to stop until I acknowledged you, and even denied you were doing what they told you that you were doing. Why did you blame me for other people thinking your conduct was poor, instead of considering maybe... your conduct was just bad? Why should I not just block you, instead of continuing to subject myself to your myriad double standards? Yeah, did that work? Are you going to stay calm this time? Or are you just going to get offended and blow up in another fountain of unfounded and untrue conspiracy claims and mind reading? ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbgr5NL_j38 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbgr5NL_j38&lc=Ugzkt2r8XApjUe1V7rd4AaABAg.AStmMat63VHASx8qeoUq1u UPLOAD DATE: 20260206 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-09 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @xAcre211x AUTHOR_ID: UCdE5h66slzz_9cz2YoZ9pXg TEXT:  @RedLianaK  Isn't it a therapist's job to listen?

You didn't intend to help, but you did. ❤ Secondly, I'm not a therapist. I'm a mental health journalist. Thirdly, if you're paying $200 an hour for a therapist to just listen while you engage in paranoia, ad hominem attacks, self diagnosis and learned helplessness, not only are you wasting your money, but you're expecting a therapist to enable you in the very things therapy is supposed to treat. And yes, there are therapists who just take people's money that way. They're not good therapists, and they're usually just exploiting the insurance system. A good therapist will challenge a client, and they'll just drop someone who started making false accusations and abusive comments the way buddy did. You've convinced me I should have just blocked the guy as soon as the false accusations started. I was being nice and giving him benefit of the doubt, like he wanted and denied I was doing. But you're right: I'm not his mother and he was way out of line. No therapist would continue to give the time of day to someone who behaved that way. In therapy you have to behave better than that, or they throw you out.

Everyone just wants to be left alone. We're tired of making space for trigger trauma every moment we're noticably chill. I know I can't change reality, so I don't want to fight people. I know they just won't accept no is the same no they have towards me. Insecurities are hope stuck in sad acceptance. Society says you should just say what you want, but you know that's what parents say to their kids. Insecurity is that stranger hanging over you. Security is running around a fairgrounds with cotton candy in your hand. I think all we end up doing in the end is admitting the world and the people in it can go fuck themselves if they really want to so badly. Gotta stop holding space for embarrassment and insecurities with eyes wide open. Opinions are assholes and yeah they showed it knowing that's it for that. Don't hurt or ruin people's boundaries. Just take care of yourself as best you can. I'm gonna try to keep living like everyone else is. Living my own life with a piece of cotton candy in my mouth.

I have my share of insecurities. Most of it steming from a fear of not being good enough for the world, or being judged and seen as "Cringy", or "immature" for my interests.(Whch also gives me a sense of envy towards those who are embraced or having "Childish" intrests.) And I wholehartedly agree that everyone has insecurities and it's important to not let them dominate you. And I do my best to, I was never really that super concerned about "fitting in". At the same time, there's still that Hedgehog's dillemma of being in constant defense mode and fearing that someone might see me as an easy target to push around, might lead me down the wrong path, or is secretly plotting my downfall or sees me as nothing more than an expendable pawn and will throw me aside once I've outlived my usefulness. It's one of those things you learn as a survival skill if you've don't really have the strongest emotional support system. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM8msPk3h3M COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM8msPk3h3M&lc=UgzOv66rnOlsxBarfaZ4AaABAg.AIJCxy-u6E1AIJEyvllptk UPLOAD DATE: 20250519 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: I feel that.

The elbows up might just be how it goes. We live long, we try, and we have less questions to the same day we already had. We just gotta accept that there is no more perfect world. Also, we see the effort. People who tried cared enough to see the effort. You're not wasting your time. Some people just suck and that's all. You are a person and wandering away from a bad situation you looked in the eye is how it was going to be. People are people. People gotta live the life they have. We can live.

The less your intentions matter. It's a spectrum, obviously, but at some point you're being so reckless you're not making any conscious decisions. Beyond that point your intentions can't matter because you don't have any conscious intentions. And repeating "that wasn't my intent" (or words to that affect) strikes me as a fawn response. You're in damage control mode, recklessly defending yourself from the threat of someone else's feelings. Rather than considering the situation and responding appropriately.(assuming good faith, of course) For people with intense emotional triggers, recklessness can begin almost instantly,. But for most people, as our emotions get more intense we naturally drift into recklessness. With the first indication often being that you've said or done something you now regret. From what I've seen/read, a big part of emotional intelligence (or competence, as you say), is learning to snap yourself out of that reckless state so you can make more considered choices. As I'm writing this I wonder if there's some kind of mental state where you can behave in a considered, not-reckless manner, whilst still experiencing intense emotional responses. I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing, so maybe it's not how the human brain works. Sure would be nice, though. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHmYKYJviic COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHmYKYJviic&lc=UgxXX-Vuayfs93KHiuR4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250820 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @edmundolastra3279 AUTHOR_ID: UCvXXAoQAJJcxTX37VTifSOA TEXT: You know... hearing that a lot of people don't have the emotional awareness and skills to stay regulated makes me wonder.

And again, this isn't a case of "I feel attacked, so I'm going to fly off the handle and attack you because I'm an emotionally constipated mess!" This is more, I try really really hard to explain myself here when articulating my feelings, or bringing up a specific grievence I have with the world or society as a whole. That's why if often reiterate with a "Don't get it twisted", or "This isn't a case of-" I'm just trying to explain in no uncertain terms, so my words don't get twisted into something far worse than they actually are. At the same time, there's a part of me that's ready to accept the likelihood that an interaction as a probability to end in the worst possible outcome. And even if I do appoligise for my transgressions, even if I'm 100% sincere, no excuses, no beating arround the bush, even if I'm on my knees groveling and assuming the Dogeza pozition(The Dogeza is a gesture of deep apologism inn Japanese culture.), I accept the likelihood that my apology wouldn't be enough and willing to brace myself for whatever further form of retaliation comes my way(Emotionally, Socially, or even possibly physically.) And this isn't a case of "Awful person acting shook that their actions have consiquences, because they never had to face any signifigant consiquences for their actions because they were always bailed out by an enabling authority figure, because they were treated like the golden boy who can do no wrong, and was never taught proper respect for other people's boundaries." or "Emotionally irregulated mess flying off the handle because he didn't get his daily good boy affirmations".

Like you pointed out, Bitterness is a complicated emotion, and can stem from all sorts of reasons. And it gets really hard to distinguish between someone just airing out alot of pent up grievances, and just an adult tantrum. Bitterness is one of those things that can be easily used as part of the victim mentality to justify a toxic personality. Especially amongst those who are quick to play the "Society's to blame" card to justify their actions. While it's important, and we all need to a better job of listening to people's grievances, we should also remain privy as to not inadvertadly give bad actors an easy escape hatch to absolve themselves of wrongdoings. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSKFHXAQ47c COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSKFHXAQ47c&lc=Ugyw9SX2VFC2mUUS-AR4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241014 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @inlocoparentis AUTHOR_ID: UCLdgzSRAozmTsz7PwgLdN3g TEXT: At about the five-minute mark, you talk about the idea that if you're not dangerous, you don't matter.

Every demographic, no matter the way you slice it, will have their bad apples that give the rest a bad name. Then the opposite of that demographic will use that to paint the whole initial bunch with the same brush. And then we end up with a low trust society that sees the opposite demographic as "more violent than bears", "will divorce you and take half your net worth", "fiddles kids with the LGBT guise" etc. Worst thing is, you can set the example that not everyone of your demographic is bad. But the other side will never know if you're that one in a million monster that will wreck them, and will treat you as such to protect themselves. I know Liana said that it hurts less when you expect it. Anecdotally, expecting it leads to just as much disappointment even if it hurts less.

I liked the discussion about Space Marines being masculine but asexual, as a pre-teen I was once called "sex-starved" by one of my peers for not being interested in girls. I'm pretty sure at that age they didn't have countless notches on their bedpost either, which made it pretty ridiculous. However, I grew up and finally started taking interest in women, forever floating from friendzone to friendzone, sometimes holding on for most of a decade for the doomed hope of romance. When I finally settled down into a relationship, however, I felt very awkward because I'd always had to shy away from the stereotype that men only think about sex, and the fear of rejection and being labelled a creep that I actually found it very difficult to open up and be vulnerable because I'd felt the need to suppress that part of myself. I'd been shamed for feeling desires for so long that it was hard to take the guard rails off and let myself get close to someone when I was finally given a chance. Even now, I'd think twice about buying a game like Stellar Blade because of what people might think about me liking a game with a female character designed to look appealing to someone like myself. I shouldn't have to think about that, I should just be asking if the game is good. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHEZg447vgA COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHEZg447vgA&lc=UgyYGgCZxyr-y8FFcZJ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260130 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-08 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Luciabananabreadloaf AUTHOR_ID: UCrW-pk5ZglFl37yEyG83dSw TEXT: Wow, you're on to something, please tell the tik tok girlies ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHEZg447vgA COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHEZg447vgA&lc=UgxQ3SvK-7hQfdtj3614AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260130 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-01 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @BetterWithBob AUTHOR_ID: UC9hTzXnwFm5KrtdC-_z9tBw TEXT: Aww it's always like Christmas when I hear myself mentioned by the great one 😊 ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHEZg447vgA COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHEZg447vgA&lc=UgxICVA_T0Vs99R9H2l4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260130 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-01 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: Yeah.

I struggled with a lot of autistic self hate in my teen years. I think Internalized Misandry tends to overlap with alot of other issues like Internalized Ableism. It's a real shame that alot of the conversation has been muddied by people who are too busy flinging buzzwords around to have any meaningful conversations. Likewise, alot of cringe culture is basically just people projecting their own insecurities on to people lower on the social hierarchy just for that self validation of "I may be a loser, but at least I'm not that guy". That explains alot of disdain towards groups like Furries or Bronies.(But I'm not going to run defense for the ones who are genuine creeps.) I usually don't let other people's judgements bring me down, but there's always that looming cloud of insecurities within proximity. I've been wanting to get into Pretty Cure(TLDR, It's a long running Magical Girl Anime, basically think the Sailor Moon meets Power Rangers/Super Sentai), but there's that lingering fear of judgement because I don't know if Male Precure fans have the same stigma as Bronies, and I know me being a Straight-passiing(I'm Bi-romanitc Asexual or Bisexual, still haven't got that one pegged down.) Cisgender man watching a show meant for young girls, I'll probably get alot of dirty looks. People thinking I'm some sort creep, or be seen as an example of the decline of masculinity in the younger generations of men. The ultimate takeaway is, Do what you love, don't get too hung up on labels.(And if you can pull it off, take those negative labels as a self-depricating badge of honor.)Don't let judgemental jerks bring you down. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHEZg447vgA COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHEZg447vgA&lc=Ugymv8ThEClJf5usSdp4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260130 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-01 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @LMondoux AUTHOR_ID: UCPWsCeb4_Okgx0S6MyjLiJw TEXT: I am my thoughts, my memories and my choices, which are shaped by my life. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHEZg447vgA COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHEZg447vgA&lc=Ugymv8ThEClJf5usSdp4AaABAg.ASbPGJRZIFdAScmObax2bk UPLOAD DATE: 20260130 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-01 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @unidorsalicosahedron7416 AUTHOR_ID: UCv-oIOzu5rfmnFVlHx8wOUg TEXT: And yet, thoughts are transient, because life always changes ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHEZg447vgA COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHEZg447vgA&lc=Ugymv8ThEClJf5usSdp4AaABAg.ASbPGJRZIFdASdvG6QRBxh UPLOAD DATE: 20260130 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-01 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @LMondoux AUTHOR_ID: UCPWsCeb4_Okgx0S6MyjLiJw TEXT: ​@unidorsalicosahedron7416yep.

I've been sort ot learning round 40K and the lore for years though and all I can say really is that property doesn't have an on ramp for people absolutely new to it, maybe the Amazon series will do it if it ever happens but the audio books I'm listening through if I hadn't looked up stuff from time to time for years before or watched a few lore videos I'd be lost because they just reference stuff and expect people to know for example how a Genestealer cult works because all the books are written seemingly in universe so of course people would know about o have heard of these things. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nDmhWm8ysI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nDmhWm8ysI&lc=UgwILRdkkSxhAaDbtAx4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250801 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @edmundolastra3279 AUTHOR_ID: UCvXXAoQAJJcxTX37VTifSOA TEXT: Thanks for clarifying about the "if she likes it" and the thing with "phsyological responses".

After roughly ten years, it has come to pass. I never predicted it, even if that doesn't matter since I don't even play bingo. Still, the game has not changed and you shouldn't try switching sports. If you find a faux-conservative enclave of joyless misanthropes distasteful, that's one thing, but you should (did, really) point out foul play and tactics. Anita dislikes the Collectives because they don't align politically. You dislike them for their trouncing on our entertainment as if it was politics. See, Anita Sarkeesian and the Collective Shout are the same breed of venomous control freak in desperate need of a clue but on a hunger strike with a side of meditative self-immolation. Back in the ought's, we called them "Attention Whores." Kind of a misnomer--if you're whoring attention, you're slathering attention onto others for money, while here, you're just accruing attention however possible in the most debased ways imaginable for maximum impact. It's hard to tell which definition takes precedence. I can tell you that it's harder to manually sort through delisted games and verify their worthiness of banning when all these birds do is dump ass on everyone's windshields. They restricted use of Steam's search feature. Now, you must compile a list through word of mouth and then type those into search queries. Like back in the ought's. Anyway, Sarkeesian decided to pick the gamers' side in broad strokes to promote a book. How expedient. That is a whole new level of attention-whoring. That is free marketing for a book whose author disbelieves in the concept or existence of a free market, selfsame woman who celebrated her birthday by being the bride at an imaginary wedding with no groom. Okay? It was expedient. Is it expedient of you to likewise find yourself in agreement? No. I can't think of a way that it helps your counseling service or jazzes up gaming live-streams. It's utterly one-sided. Also, given Feminist Frequency, I'll bet money Anita doesn't know enough about Collective Shout or truly why players and companies are infuriated by them. She assumes we think like her. Anita claims to agree with you. Nobody finds Anita agreeable. There's nothing agreeable about Anita. You cannot agree with Anita. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nDmhWm8ysI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nDmhWm8ysI&lc=UgwQVUxIg1NlIsUblNp4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250801 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @dercooney AUTHOR_ID: UCXwNe9Keuvq5glvLcA8cmeg TEXT: i agree with trump on something - i remember doing that. i'm on the same side of anita, this time. the enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy, nothing more. this sort of thing happens because we are complex creatures and not monolithic blocs ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nDmhWm8ysI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nDmhWm8ysI&lc=UgzXE6jU4CwerCEgntZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250801 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @eyezerocool AUTHOR_ID: UCvhvD480jaXZzYAh543kLpA TEXT: I personally think anita isn’t a bad person.

Add in the timeline of abuse/work place drama and it just gets worse, because she's not giving herself room to back down. She should have just did right by him. Should have let him walk away, so they could move on to new relationships. Learn and grow out of teenage drama. The crazy is crazy. Never let yourself be entitled to a humanbeing. Entitlement is the word. Entitlement like this is bad. No redefining someone's free will. No human puppies exist. Respect should stay on the table in a relationship that lasts. When it fell off into self harm trying to keep him, he knew it was time to go. No one owns another person. Abuse is bad. Mental abuse is in need of personal accountability in this situation for sure. No one can read minds and stop a freak out. She's gotta do that for herself, but I guess she won't. Accountability is self work. I keep forgetting you work in the entertainment industry. I keep imagining a teenage girl drama, when you talk about it, but they're adults.

It's still shorthand for involuntary celibate, but it just comes burdened with the implication that disagreement with certain stances put forward by women means that misogynistic ideas and attitudes are publicly displayed (or kept unspoken but can be sensed by women's intuition) which kills attraction. At the core of this is the idea is that women only open up to sex once they feel emotionally comfortable, so getting laid means you have to get women to LIKE you first to prompt the action, as opposed to men who are believed to be purely after temporary physical pleasure and supposedly get praised for attaining sex without having to meet the 'safety checks'. The end result is that even if you make a statement that is objectively true, levelling the insult of 'incel' is meant to render the point null and void because the safety of women is supposed to be placed as the higher priority, and that if men want to ever stand a chance of gaining access, they need to acquiesce to women's requests for their standards to be met. What I think many men find more infuriating is the hypocrisy of women using such emasculating tactics and claiming they're empowered in doing so, but outright condemning such behaviour AND/OR the emotional response from men when they stand up for themselves as toxic. More time seems to be spent telling the victims of such behaviour to "heal" and develop better coping mechanisms instead of preventing the damage in the first place. This unwittingly plays straight into the patriarchal idea of "resilience"; being able to withstand large amounts of discomfort and delay gratification to achieve a larger goal which somehow never ends because there's always another goal to pursue in order to take care of a family/community, and subsequently forcing women to diminish themselves to accept what little can be given in order to feel ANY sense of value or reward because they have no energy left to challenge the system keeping them down. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fkS1KbslN4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fkS1KbslN4&lc=Ugy36vWr6xAiVpsASp14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250310 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RobsDogs20 AUTHOR_ID: UCjNEA3XZeQ_ukBfWBa0s7wg TEXT: Incel used as a pejorative is serving the same function as virgin did when used as a pejorative to men roughly 10-15 years ago. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fkS1KbslN4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fkS1KbslN4&lc=Ugxt44KzExTkg4YfhsZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250310 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @BetterWithBob AUTHOR_ID: UC9hTzXnwFm5KrtdC-_z9tBw TEXT: Oh boy I remember when I was 20/21 I dared to stand up to one of my friends and call him on how he'd been making fun of me in a way that hurt.

Is because a lot of classical discussions about men is the debate about what makes a proper man or a good man. And over the ages the nuance of good/proper man got lost so we are left with just what is a man. If look at lot of models of what make a man they are something that sets him apart from his other man and gives him a claim to power. For example the warrior is someone who can protect the group, the successful laborer is some who make the group wealthier, and the guy who sleeps around is someone who grow the group. So each has a claim of why they should be listed to, for one could say I keep you safe, I keep you feed and housed, and you are here because of me. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fkS1KbslN4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fkS1KbslN4&lc=Ugzqp1nXRFBpoZJ_a2J4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250310 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @NekoAV1134 AUTHOR_ID: UCjwU0W1iYCCSgxgTtMCEzmA TEXT: Hello. I used to comment as LaughingFurry. Now that that's out of the way, my thoughts. Before anything, I think what's said at 9:05 is something worth quoting. Now then. I think another part of this could be the pursuit of perfection. More so the idea of being flawless. Something I've seen discussed among various animation enthusiasts and music enthusiasts. Musicians and other artists commenting about how flawed the pursuit of perfection is. The pursuit involves believing everything needs to be flawless. The perfect man, the perfect woman, perfect behavior and the clout that is expected to come with it. I do believe a lot of this belittling attitude comes from a prejudice that forms because others aren't perceived as perfect. The mention of ginger hair would be a good example, seeing how so many believe the hair needs to be like Shirly Temple or Carrot Top, all curly and what not. Going against what isn't considered "perfect for that person" could play into whatever delusion those who judge my have trapped themselves into. I have done a couple of videos on this subject myself, one of which is me being introspective about my own delusional behavior. Me accepting that the world isn't perfect, that I'm not perfect, and I should still perceive the goals I want rather than what social stigmas claim my goals should be. After figuring all this out about myself, I've come to wonder how much of this goes on with others. The whole thing of working on the goals of others than one's own goals. Living a delusion built upon by social stigma and expectations. Well, those are my thoughts. May be different from what you're talking. Though, I think this can play into the insecurities and prejudices of others. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fkS1KbslN4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fkS1KbslN4&lc=UgwyMSn9LejncwQdY0d4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250310 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @nathanallingham9014 AUTHOR_ID: UCX4abKCV5FXaAb4fg6RVC9w TEXT: When ever I hear "incel" being used interchangeably with "Misogynist" I always wonder if they know what the words mean.

What I've noticed in culture over the years that once a term reaches a high enough point of popularity people begin using it out of context because their desire to use the cool hip lingo outweighs their care to use accurate terms for what they are talking about. In short people WANT to call men incels because incel is a popular term and they are willing to even use the term incorrectly and will even define the term in a overly broad manner to justify the incorrect use. Kind of like how misogynist these days pretty much means, "A woman doesn't like something a guy said/did/thought." You see this phenomenon A LOT on social media platforms because people want to use the cool hip lingo to fit in (ie go viral, get attention, etc....). It's not too different from how non black people bastardize AAVE. They will use it incorrectly and the incorrect use becomes even more popular than the correct term (care to guess why that happens?) to the point that attempts at correction are met with hostility and claims that the term "is for everyone". ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fkS1KbslN4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fkS1KbslN4&lc=UgxsSpP8BASbPuKo7HN4AaABAg.AFV-oxfKAdIAFV0RM22Uoo UPLOAD DATE: 20250310 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @jollyyellowreal AUTHOR_ID: UCBPTlPwgCNmngvuopTM_bCA TEXT: Im sorry for leaving such long winded comments but in regards to "...when men feel powerless the sexism comes out...".

At the same time you have people who are invested in maintaining that powerlessness and want men to be silence and as such will use the tactic of interpreting even legitimate complaints as sexism for the sake of silencing those complaining men. I think we can agree that men complaining when feeling powerless isn't inherently sexist. Oh and as for a male equivalent of "She should smile more" as a way to gender check them?

It came from being raised on those virtues regardless of how strong my inclinations were. I always found it subliminally offensive to have guys lack any and all impulse control just as it is overtly eye-rolling when women get dragged for it. Japanese genre fiction often provides a mix and clash of personalities where you root for particular cases. Granted, Japan's mangakas can be indiscriminately liberal or just enough to be taken out of context when seen through westerners' eyes, but there's greater psychological realism because nobody is being processed or stenciled through obligatory messaging.

The concept of emasculation is one of those catch-22 scenarios where weaponized victimhood and having your status threaten more or less gives you a free pass to justify and excuse whatever toxic behaviors from men, and any man who doesn't conform to those toxic ideas are seen as lesser in the male heirarchy, thus planting the idea that the only way to get ahead in the world is to be that toxic person. It's all one big self-fufilling prophecy. Like an Ouroboros eating it's own tail. And it's again, a multi-pronged attack from the tradcon crowd and the more toxic parts of the manosphere who peddle theses toxic ideas of being a "real man" means lashing out at women(If not society as a whole) is the only way to secure your status, as well as the progressive crowd(more specifically the Dwork-side Militant feminists, the White knights, and most of Breadtube) who paradoxially weaponize those gender roles to flaunt their moral superiority over any man they see as morally inferior. Likewise, again, It's this notion that "A man's worth is tied to his level of sexual activity" is the reason why I'm not a fan of the "Losing your virginity as a rite of passage" trope in most coming of age stories. The whole idea that "If you're not Zeus levels of Sexually active, there's something wrong with you" is something that justs drives me up a wall. And again, is the paradoxical nature of purity culture where you're expected to remain celebate until marraige, while at the same time if you don't lose your viriginity by a certain age, you're considered low-status. And that's where you get the all the virgin shaming, emasculation, being called an 'Incel"(All that "fun" stuff.)

Jordan Peterson described it as "clean your room". Because, for many men, the results and outcomes matter. A man who works out, maintains a clean living area, maintains his vehicle, etc. is seen as somehow inherently more masculine than a flabby slob. On the incel slur, the most insidious thing about it is being a literal "involuntary celibate" is dependent on others attitudes towards you. It says "you are this bad thing, and the only way out is for us to decide you no longer are one". Criticisms of ones behavior or choices, even unjustified, have the implied resolution of "don't be that way", which is an internal process. Applied to "incel", the resolution becomes "make us treat you better", which is an external process. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fkS1KbslN4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fkS1KbslN4&lc=UgyW0l-o86YVMI3UKIF4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250310 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @odysseus9672 AUTHOR_ID: UCWU5L6h6X_J4NrFQoTUY3SQ TEXT: "Hit the road, Jack, and doncha come back no more..." ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fkS1KbslN4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fkS1KbslN4&lc=UgwKRvQKBPT76PY0E-p4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250310 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Tnu1138 AUTHOR_ID: UCvcDm_QxP2DHVVJzEpS4t0w TEXT: You see this is where I get lost.

I think it's because men have more license to "act" overall and that can include acting childishly. But women are viewed as more acted upon and our actions justified as reactions to something external.

All it is is just the trappings of the Man box, just with a few extra steps. And for what? To prove a point about male entitlement? That just seems really reductive to dismiss the problems of an individual just because of some archaic social expectations. I get it, that there are people who put on this groveling facade, and use trauma dumping and performative vunerability to excuse toxic behaviors. The whole "I was abused as a kid, so I get a get out of jail free card to act like the worse person ever, and if someone calls me out on it, I can just accuse them of bullying a trauma survivor" mentality that I've seen time and time again. At the same time, using that as an endictment towards people who are legitimately struggling and just going "Whatever, just suck it up loser" is really reductive and damaging. As for the whole "Toxic partner who expects their significant other to fight their battles for them", that seems like the aspect of toxic, abusive manipulative behavior that goes absolutetly underdiscussed when it comes to red flags to spot in a toxic relationship. Likewise I would love to see you go in depth of with the subject of "immature behavior expected in men vs women", because that's the big thing that's been bothering me about modern feminism. It's the paradox of "Women don't need men to swoop in and save the day like Underdog 24/7, we can handle ourselves" while at the same time going "Women need good men(AKA the White Knights) to come in and protect us from the dangers of the world."

You gave some very good examples of the hypocritical aspect of feminism that so many feminists vehemently refuse to admit to. But men see through all that stuff right away. At some point feminists will have to admit that they don't want equality. They want selective equality. They want more women in the type of jobs everyone would like to have. But coal miners, deep sea fishing, smoke jumpers ? When it comes to the more dangerous jobs they go "You can have that one". And since it's slowly but surely becoming undeniable now that men are struggling in various ways (mental health, economically) what do they do ? They just blame it on the men themselves. Like I said, it's disingenuous. When women are struggling it's always societys fault. When men are struggling it's without a doubt their own fault.

As if social anxiety, working night shifts, personality disorders, interruptions to normal social development, surviving abuse, depression, poverty, addiction, rural isolation, language barriers, autism and just downright being a dickhead aren't distinct pathologies. Any of which, in any combination, can result in intense isolation and/or loneliness and all of which are remedied in different ways. But the only diagnosis is "you're lonely because you're a loser/asshole/" A guy whose normal social development got screwed over by discovering pornography at 10 years old and guy who has to use his 2nd language at his office job will both need wildly different forms of help and advice when it comes to making connections with people. But the discussion always lands on "men won't do the work and just want women to fix it". (Which, To be 100% clear is what some men want. I'm not trying to gloss over that problem) But if we allow this conversation to be centred on those men, we utterly fail to help anyone else. We wind up feeding into the problem because "stop being a loser/asshole and stop wanting women to fix it" is the only prescription for abating loneliness men receive. And if it's the only help being offered, men's loneliness remains tied to their relationships with women. Not accusing Liana of this, just my thoughts on what I consider to be a very important topic. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6p8cOvGycE COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6p8cOvGycE&lc=UgyoiTcxRwFDpbE4Aid4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251222 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Tnu1138 AUTHOR_ID: UCvcDm_QxP2DHVVJzEpS4t0w TEXT: I miss mom. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6p8cOvGycE COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6p8cOvGycE&lc=UgwwOc2RNnlYfitSmaV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251222 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @KaiGrant-Maxim-c7v AUTHOR_ID: UCPZTRgRSc1hidwGtf_P-e3g TEXT: did you know that the male suicide rate is stagnant/decreasing, while the female suicide rate is increasing by a lot? male suicide went from being 5x higher to 4-3x higher to 3-2x higher. there is a women's mental health crisis now, so catch up with it. why should a woman be supporting those who harrass her in the streets, whistle and catcall her, make innuendos about her and upskirt her? ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6p8cOvGycE COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6p8cOvGycE&lc=UgwJA11yP612zMz27uh4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251222 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @jimplaysric AUTHOR_ID: UC2eQcx2GlasO4Z4_vVSSdQQ TEXT: If there's a loneliness epidemic, then I guess social media sites are useless, aren't they? ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6p8cOvGycE COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6p8cOvGycE&lc=Ugxsp6XunVLVY3XlHZV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251222 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @LMondoux AUTHOR_ID: UCPWsCeb4_Okgx0S6MyjLiJw TEXT: Super important to combat loneliness during the actual darkest days of the year. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aP0xN3v2Zg COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aP0xN3v2Zg&lc=UgyIVTFIgwYZeKzXxY14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251027 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Blunderful_Disasterpiece AUTHOR_ID: UCVpt99B2qL6cigCquIMJkcw TEXT: I thought of something else to add when it comes to the way men ignore complements or messages of hope, reassurance etc (I didn't come here to be called quite so personally, thanks Liana :P). There's this idea that part of the appeal of the horror genre is how it allows people to "practice" negative experiences without being in real danger. I wonder if something similar also applies here. Like with the horribly abusive self-talk some people live with. What if that's a Bizzarro form of "practice" to try and soften the blow. Whether said blow is real or imaginary. I wonder if men are fixating on negative outcomes to "practice" for getting hurt in the future.

It is factually correct but I think it's a counterproductive point to make. Ultimately, I think, when you have women's programs or trans programs but no men's programs., you unintentionally create a representation issue. Where everyone but men gets explicit representation. A lot of men don't understand the historical accuracy of "the men's is implied" so it contradicts the narrative of inclusiveness. They feel If "the men's is implied" then why not "the women's is implied"? And it foments the idea that society hates men/prefers everyone else. Kind of like the term "toxic masculinity", it's just too readily misunderstood. Saying "the men's is implied" is trying to stuff an emotional wound with a factual gauze. I worry it makes men feel un-listened to. Also, as I understand it. the "80-20" thing came from one dating app releasing their user data. People then decided this was true for women across the board because it was based on "data" so it must be "science". In reality it was just a reflection of how women were interacting with the technology at the time. Personally, I always interpreted it as: "Only one in five men knows how to take a decent picture of himself". Good video.

I won't get into the numbers because I don't really remember them that well but unless you're an extremely attractive man (with professional photos, or at least very good photos) or a woman just looking for an easy hookup it's probably best not to bother using them. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aP0xN3v2Zg COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aP0xN3v2Zg&lc=UgxFMkC8x_kpSSg5j3h4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251027 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @IslandFenix AUTHOR_ID: UCN6sFpxDvrBOM-TYM7ddceQ TEXT: If I remember correctly the 80/20 thing came from a study about interactions on dating apps; can't remember exactly if it was simply rating men on their attractiveness or whether they actually engaged with those men because of suitability in other metrics, but the idea that 80% of women on the apps only responded favourably to 20% of the men (a bastardized version of the Pareto principle) got extracted from its environment and projected onto the general population by manosphere grifters looking to sell their 'courses' on how to become one of those chosen few. Even with the above stated though, some men may still take that income level/equality data with a grain of salt because they still hear about women wanting men with greater income/educational levels as partners, so they believe that they still have to internalize that dehumanization to grind through to a high enough point of success to be considered a prospect. They're then expected to overcome that trauma to present as an emotionally healthy partner for the benefit of the relationship rather than society working to prevent the trauma in the first place, or at least some reciprocal let alone proactive effort from a prospective partner. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aP0xN3v2Zg COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aP0xN3v2Zg&lc=Ugx8vhPJpxxhqX3sVDF4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251027 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @saimiri.

For a lot of stories, a man surviving when someone else in his life dies is treated as some great sin that must be atoned for. Even if a male charater is functionally immortal, he would still need to either beat the insurmountable odds of making sure everyone he loves survives as long as he does or forsake relationships and be alone forever because he can't avoid the "fail condition" of anyone in his life dying before him. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2CBU5oY-uo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2CBU5oY-uo&lc=UgyO7cvkdWDQ7-2GCzh4AaABAg.ABIvREAD47KABP1JOK3b91 UPLOAD DATE: 20241125 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @BetterWithBob AUTHOR_ID: UC9hTzXnwFm5KrtdC-_z9tBw TEXT: Oh that's a very interesting observation.

It's psychologically unhealthy for us to over indulge in emotions. Ninety percent of our issues will be solved by service and having somebody to provide for, and goals to work towards. Tangible things. Changing our feelings isn't the solution for men that it is for women. Our feeling that a tangible thing is broken, is solved by fixing the tangible thing. I do say ninety percent, because I think the people you're responding to sound like they're taking it too far. There's no virtue in denying yourself a meal, because that's "What men do." Or something stoic sounding like that. Feeding everyone else first, then eating, is the virtuous thing to do for anyone. Emotional anorexia doesn't serve anybody. The problem is for men denying that last ten percent of our needs because it's too infrequently the solution that we can be caught off guard and unprepared when it is, and there's work to be done there. Men have always told women the solution is fixing the tangible thing, and now women are telling us we need to explore all the emotional ranges of the things. Both are valid. But I don't know if women can understand how much that absence of the emotional spectrum doesn't bother us, and it is almost never the solution that we need? My prescription for my ADHD medication ran out, and the doctors were tardy about replying and now I'm told there's a nation-wide shortage. It's frustrating and I hate having to ask for help, or demand it. Something feels wrong about insisting that I get help. Is it part of being a man that I feel like I shouldn't have this weakness and dependency? I expressed my frustration. What I need is for the system to work. My PC had some drive errors, and finding that problem and replacing the drives was stressful, and I started getting irrationally irritable. But no amount of expressing that irritation did anything. Spending hundreds of dollars on new drives and reinstalling Windows did.. Telling me you sympathize, and connecting with other people, or having a good cry about it, doesn't do anything for me. Exploring and expressing those feelings, doesn't change things for me, like it appears to for women? Dialing up those feelings and expressing them further seems like a really damaging idea to me? My feelings are telling me there's a physical problem that needs to be solved. I think we're fundamentally different and complimentary that way. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgDjDbs6ZBc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgDjDbs6ZBc&lc=UgwDzPegcS_JHAFQ6YF4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250210 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: Yeah.

If one says they are "passionate about mating and resources." It sounds to me like there is some deep routed (Often ignored or unnoticed.) insecurity. Please correct me if I am wrong. Isn't that a form of nihilism too? It also reminds me of the lyrics to a song that set off alarm bells in my head and made me cringe a little. "First we F- B-s. Then we get money." I think it is obvious why I hate that (WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE! Sorry, I couldn't resist that.) It is a form of burying your needs and pain deep. Or work hard (Hard work only rewards you with more work.) and work out. It doesn't work long-term. Only serving to hurt one's self and others after. It's like a volcano. The magma's buoyancy pushes it upwards. The pressure from the gasses dissolving into the magma increases. The pressure on the chamber lid increases. The rock cracks increase and the eruption comes spreading lava, gasses, and ash everywhere. If we did get any male- role-models talking about not ignoring your emotional needs and that you are allowed to have them. The Left will call it misogyny. And the right will try to destroy them for daring to take away their customers. "Buy my books, attend my classes. I'll make a man out of you." As a paraphrased guess. As for male role models. Kratos is one. However, I must say that Kratos Norse era is probably better to be inspired by than Kratos Greek era. I thought about Kratos and had to think of how to bring him up. Because he was the resource for war and pleasure in the Greek era of games. Only left with his rage and bloodlust while he was denied the time to think. In the Norse era, he is someone who has had time to think. Met someone who understands him. Listen to what Fay says when she talks to baby Atreus about meeting Kratos. "We nearly took each other's heads off." This tells me two things. One, they helped each other. And two, Fay could have become similar to Greek-era Kratos. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgDjDbs6ZBc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgDjDbs6ZBc&lc=Ugx-DlH6fDyC3inh5pZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250210 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @KroganCharr AUTHOR_ID: UC4reDZpUcWEdWHu-Fs3gLPw TEXT: Where does "mating and resources" even go?

Where growing up I do feel like I'm expected to "man up" and not be caught dead liking "girls stuff". (Alot of it stemming from daddy issues). Likewise, one of the main reasons why I still have my reservations about modern feminism, is despite championing itself about rejecting traditional gender norms, there's still that underlying expectation where I'm expected to play the role of the good man calling out all the bad men in the world. And I'm just sitting there going "What does this world want from me?" I'm just one guy, I can't save the world all at once. I shouldn't have to be held responsible for every messed up man out there. The only person I'm 100% responsible for, is myself. It's just gender essentialism in a different hat. Compound that with me being autistic, and constant feelings of not truely having a place in the world, and you get a real unplesant time. It basically all just builds up with a constant feeling of being done with everyone's garbage, and wanting no part of it.(I had days where I just want to shout "Everyone betrayed me, I'm fed up with this world!" and just completely tap out from society all together.) And the sad part is, underneathe all that resentment I had towards the world, it just petered out into just complete social apathy, where I just accept my fate as a nobody. Thus I have no real big expectations for the world, mainly because I know full well I'm not truely "owed" anything from the world. I allready accpeted that I don't really fit in anywhere, and I'm not even sure if I want to fit in. At times, i question if I'm even human, and not like a homonculus or some sort of other vague approximation of a human. It's just, I want to exist and be punished for merely existing. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHYRvwTxNRc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHYRvwTxNRc&lc=UgxINYAj8elR440PU5B4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250818 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Blunderful_Disasterpiece AUTHOR_ID: UCVpt99B2qL6cigCquIMJkcw TEXT: Good video.

It's a subject I've thought about a lot over the last... Oh... 15 years or so. I grew up in a rural, very conservative, part of Ohio; almost everyone I knew before the age of 20 was a blue-collar worker, lower- to mid- middle class, and the men had some pretty clear (and weighty!) expectations placed on them by the social circles they lived in... Your value as a person was directly tied to how much money you earned, full stop. It wasn't until I got to moving around a bit between ages 21 and 25 and lived in other areas (Washington DC; New York City; Erie and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Chicago, Illinois) that the idea was even challenged. It wasn't until I moved to a super rural part of California at age 30 that I ever saw a radically different life style treated as "normal". Now, as I'm approaching my 45th birthday, when I look back both at the decisions I have made the ones my father made, and that my grandfather made, I can see some profoundly impactful trends, and the counter-efforts that each generation has made to correct what they perceive- rightly or wrongly- as the mistakes of the previous generstion(s). I look forward to seeing what Liana's takes on this are, and where the topic takes her in this video... It's certainly a broad enough subject matter to go in a wide array of differing directions. •••Edit 1: to fix typos •••Edit 2: added thoughts- I hadn't ever really seen the women's side of the "man's worth = man's paycheck" thing... Glad Liana pointed out how it sucks as much for women as it does for men. I need to think on this, and not just a bit. I've had years to consider the downsides for men, contemplating the downsides for women will take a lot of work. •••Edit 3: @ 31:00 ish... Props to Liana for the bloody IMMENSE self-control to not name-drop that $41t4331 Andrew Tate... I know that I couldn't have resisted calling out that b.s. artist, were I in here place. •••Edit 4: 35:00 ish- I wish it were as easy to hit that point of not caring what the world's opinion of you is, as it is to say it. I was 38-40 years old before I really, truly understood that lesson... I thought I knew it at 16, but that was just the callous asshole-ness of being a teen. If I'd truly known it then like I know it now, I think.I'd need a LOT less therapy. ••• Edit 5: fixing MORE typos... 🤦‍♂️ ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHYRvwTxNRc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHYRvwTxNRc&lc=UgyYyo5imNM5SjF2IuN4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250818 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @michaellewis1545 AUTHOR_ID: UCz_-lre8IsZv1nPr-xgfeAQ TEXT: While I hwve not Elden Ring I have played enough RPGs to know that you have to do the side quest to build up your level, so you can take on the final boss.

There are mainstream cultural brownie points to be had by the man who say, takes his girlfriend or wife to a concert of her favorite band when they're not really his thing. It's seen as sweet and romatic. I think this is less of the case for women because so many men were raised with the idea that they have to cater to our needs and wants over theirs. So the ideal woman is not one who can put aside her own preferences for a night and endulge her man, but one whose preferences are in lock-step with his. That way he can still cater and serve while doing what he enjoys. Not that this is any kind of solution really because women who seem like "Pick Mes" are often suspected heavily of being less than geniune. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVJM5p5sIeI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVJM5p5sIeI&lc=UgwC_sJrSlj8MN4Lu4B4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250217 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Tnu1138 AUTHOR_ID: UCvcDm_QxP2DHVVJzEpS4t0w TEXT: I know first hand how much damage "look after your mother" can do. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVJM5p5sIeI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVJM5p5sIeI&lc=UgymS748AaxruAgUbDd4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250217 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @whitestar618 AUTHOR_ID: UCehZnxlMfBwlJDsGyEtRj5w TEXT: i gave up my job in 2020 during the fun time-and moved back to crappy ohio to care for dementia mom. i have a brother who was 2 hrs away vs 3 days driving for me (he's dads golden child) and my moms favorite was my sister.

It's one thing to try to be an actively equal partner, but it's another to feel like even the slightest error that leads to a less than perfect result will earn discord instead of peace, let alone happiness. Hence why some think that the safest way to avoid 'losing the game' is simply choosing not to play because they think that 'failure' means they are inherently unlovable. Heck, sometimes even with the boys being 'spoiled' it feels less like a validation of their inherent worth and more like an advanced payment for the service that's expected of them later. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVJM5p5sIeI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVJM5p5sIeI&lc=UgzrNMG8g27ARgrU1o54AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250217 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TheBilgepumper AUTHOR_ID: UCZ6Sc0LN0RL33eSzLZN-7Yg TEXT: "They didn't take for me..."

Espeicially if you have some sort of mental issure or neurological differance and are prone to those sort of negative thought sprials. It's that sort of weird sense of being stuck between two extremes of "Growing up too fast", and "Not growing up soon enough", where you're expected to be both the provider and the child at the same time. And the insidious part is that it's one of those things that on the surface seems good intentioned, but are unintentionally damaging once you dig beneath the surface. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVJM5p5sIeI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVJM5p5sIeI&lc=UgxxB1xuFyon4G_JnpJ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250217 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @edmundolastra3279 AUTHOR_ID: UCvXXAoQAJJcxTX37VTifSOA TEXT: Happy belated birthday Liana 🎂 So much stuff I agree with in this video.

It's written and drawn by a two-women team, and runs in what is by far the most popular boys' manga magazine, Weekly Shounen Jump. ITW is set in a world where normally only women can use magic, but the protagonist is the first male witch. That sounds like the recipe for a really bad harem series, but in fact it's actually a battle shounen with a mostly-female cast, none of whom are sexualized and all of whom are awesome in their own way. Desscaras is particularly great (basically Satoru Gojo as a black woman) but it's also really satisfying to see, e.g., the princess that a lot of the audience assumed was going to be a damsel in distress actually clinching the victory for the heroes in the Bakugami Arc. It's basically respect women juice for teenage boys. But what I really find the most interesting is the character of Ichi himself, who is one of the best models of positive masculinity I've ever seen. He's a conventional male hero who gets to be the star of the show but never wholly overshadows the other characters. He's undeniably masculine (he was literally a hunter before becoming a witch, and still has a hunter's mindset) but also has a very lax attitude toward gender conformity (he'll happily wear magic items that were designed with women's fashion in mind). He's supportive of his female friends in a way that empowers them and gives them agency - when he sees that one of his friends is being backed into a corner by her abusive older sister, he doesn't come chivalrously riding to her rescue, but instead helps her stand up for herself. And he does all this in the context of a "women's world". Again, this series runs in what is arguably the most popular boys' media publication on the planet. Nishi-sensei and Usazaki-sensei are doing very important work. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJQxiVKSmos COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJQxiVKSmos&lc=Ugz6s7qi7boc0lgWFB54AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260202 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-08 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ZirconSun AUTHOR_ID: UC5A68Xz9vd9pNuUOTW6GeBw TEXT: I nominate Optimus Prime.

He's so empathetic to people and cats alike, very in touch with his emotions and has the physical courage to allow himself to get scratched or potentially bitten if it means helping to figure out what is triggering bad cat behaviors. Though he also goes straight to the medical team to see to any serious injuries and does take precautions when warrented. He understands the difference between neccesary and unneccesary risk. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJQxiVKSmos COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJQxiVKSmos&lc=UgzYYzX9KBhmaE006xB4AaABAg.ASkYx_uGXgoASoZKQ6I3Xq UPLOAD DATE: 20260202 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-08 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Baconlazer AUTHOR_ID: UCh5JW75fnMKOKN6q_LA0i_Q TEXT: That man is a real sweetheart ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJQxiVKSmos COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJQxiVKSmos&lc=UgxsE__MkTYnaP4lbc54AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260202 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-08 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @michaellewis1545 AUTHOR_ID: UCz_-lre8IsZv1nPr-xgfeAQ TEXT: This was a lot of fun.

And I believe my definition is fully in line with every academic description I've found as well. Firstly I prefer the term toxic/healthy gender roles. Secondly, these things are easy to define when we focus on one word, And that's "Toxic". My definition is "Toxic gender roles are whenever gender roles are forced onto a person". That's it. Because masculinity and femininity are fluid by culture and even overlap most of the time. Also, here is nothing inherently wrong with expressing any of these gender roles. The only thing that is negative about any gender expression is when a person is forced or expected to fulfill a particular role. That is the toxic element. Everything else I would just say is blanketly healthy. Think of it like art. People can and should express themselves in almost any way they wish. And art has categories that people can dwell within and go outside of. But anytime you are pressuring someone to stay in a particular category, it's s stifling or censoring that art. That's toxic. I know that focusing on the word toxic gives a bad first impression. I grimaced myself reading academic papers about toxic masculinity. I had the same knee jerk reaction everyone else did. But over time I have learned that it is the correct thing to identify. I prefer the term toxic gender roles as opposed to toxic masculinity or toxic femininity. But I do think it is correct to identify the toxic elements because everything else should be permitted. Now I'm going to go sew my leather My Little Pony biker jacket and watch sports musicals like a real man. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJQxiVKSmos COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJQxiVKSmos&lc=UgzqGZFrluMoYGbWBNt4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260202 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-08 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TheEclecticGoat AUTHOR_ID: UCyCDTy4LV2BJ31szPCL2ibA TEXT: Came for the Grim, stayed for the conversation! ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju6Y3KIUaLI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju6Y3KIUaLI&lc=UgzWGwh4-sD5AFyRIyV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250901 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @meowth900 AUTHOR_ID: UCiUmYH0eSlJFQ45-7O7IMEg TEXT: Steve cameoooo ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju6Y3KIUaLI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju6Y3KIUaLI&lc=UgxaMmUbtwJEO1hTB7B4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250901 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ckmondaviable AUTHOR_ID: UC4mUD79izLD0qDFqTZ-EBkw TEXT: This was great!

To truncate the story, Hoult was walking outside of the place people were going to for the Superman auditions, and "saw David setting outside in a sunbeam", and thought "Well shoot, there's Superman". To be clear, they both seem to get along very well, and I'm sure Hoult's really happy to get to be Lex, but knowing this little extra perspective on the movie adds to the enjoyment for me. Not sure how to describe it. Feels very fitting. Kinda funny too that while the movie is explicitly not an origin story for Superman, it kinda is an origin story for Lex, since it's the first time he got to meet Superman face to face, apparently. Before the events of the film, Lex was Lex Luthor, head of Lexcorp. Now, he's Lex Luthor, enemy of Superman. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju6Y3KIUaLI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju6Y3KIUaLI&lc=UgxApRmEOlZGumVk9kx4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250901 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @michaellewis1545 AUTHOR_ID: UCz_-lre8IsZv1nPr-xgfeAQ TEXT: I am really enjoying this Men liking stuff series. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju6Y3KIUaLI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju6Y3KIUaLI&lc=UgxqGtSYj_V8P44CTWV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250901 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @neilvarma AUTHOR_ID: UC_9bX8q25qDIzzL9LSL07JQ TEXT: I keep being told Superman is emasculated in this new movie and I wonder what movie they saw ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju6Y3KIUaLI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju6Y3KIUaLI&lc=UgzSnrURfwMpFdieQyd4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250901 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: Happy Superman Monday you guys! 🦸 ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju6Y3KIUaLI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju6Y3KIUaLI&lc=UgzbzQfGZxdlFGqBIpl4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250901 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @billsmoke4198 AUTHOR_ID: UCTC1qCeqyXQaeJVst_KpH9Q TEXT: What's that comic with the hammer and sickle? ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju6Y3KIUaLI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju6Y3KIUaLI&lc=UgzbzQfGZxdlFGqBIpl4AaABAg.AMXSDE0SqAzAMXicNys9CK UPLOAD DATE: 20250901 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @BjornTheDim AUTHOR_ID: UCNipLk6-S9ccv25CYhkARMw TEXT: Not a comic reader, but it sounds like it might be Red Son.

If anything, if you feel to need to base your self-worth on wether or not you're a virgin, that's a true symbol of immaturity because it shows that you're the type of person who lets your own insecurities dominate your life. I'll keep saying this as many times as necissary; being a virgin in your adult years doesn't mean you're a loser or any less of a human for it,(Especially if you're on the Asexual spectrum.) and you shouldn't have to be pressured into doing something you aren't 100% willing to go along with. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_gt3V62B5A COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_gt3V62B5A&lc=UgxPh-YUhg2pkwDzIiZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250616 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Aries73 AUTHOR_ID: UCXcjFnRxCrfoPY-QIu5fKsw TEXT: We can have both, true, but we all know one is weaponized against the other. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_gt3V62B5A COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_gt3V62B5A&lc=UgxPh-YUhg2pkwDzIiZ4AaABAg.AJRDPHc68uTAJRFFs-ywNV UPLOAD DATE: 20250616 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: They're both weaponized against each other.

Never back down." Yeah... I can definitely relate to the stupidity of being brought up that way. It took moving to several different states in my early 20's to open my eyes a bit to how my upbringing didn't necessarily mesh with who I wanted to be; and falling in love with a really, genuinely good person pushing me to be better myself to get me to look around more with those opened eyes. A lot of things that were borderline subliminal parts of my upbringing were terrible (a LOT of ignorance-based racist mindsets, for just one example) just made no damned sense at all once I had experience outside the tiny bubble I'd grown up in. One of the harder ones to shake has been a stubborn mentality of, "Prove me wrong." I mean... There's nothing wrong with wanting some evidence before changing your mind about how you think and/or feel about something; but it shouldn't require that every expert in the hidtory of forever agrees on a topic, and that's the sort of mulish hard-headedness I was raised to think was right.

I can only speak to my own experience and I know that I can have difficulty expressing myself emotionally. My friends and I have even made jokes about me being a robot and such. Then being in a relationship where some arguments would boil down to “Well, I feel that my emotions are bigger than yours so they must be the right ones” really made me feel like I had no ammo in the tank. Even at my emotional heights, I was never gonna meet the peaks of my partner’s expressed emotionality, so I have no way to support my side. So often, I would cave. And this submission, this acceptance of wrong-doing, would then be brought up in the next fight as further evidence that I’m in the wrong again. It was a pattern I felt powerless against, and it’s alarming to feel powerless, afraid, and emotionally numb to someone you’re supposed to care about more than anyone else. A part of me wonders if there’s an obsession with blame because blame grants undue power over the other person. Like, if someone takes accountability, they gotta watch out for the specific thing they’re taking accountability for. But blame is more nebulous. It can get the person being blamed to do things beyond the realm which the argument took place in. And wielding that kinda power over others may feel like the only way someone can get what they want. I also wonder if the onus of men anticipating and accepting such brow-beating from their partners would be considered emotional labor to the feminist crowds that advocate for such things. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TfRCF6yvoo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TfRCF6yvoo&lc=Ugw7EYX4E2M8axJYsi94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251013 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @eyezerocool AUTHOR_ID: UCvhvD480jaXZzYAh543kLpA TEXT: One thing women get crap for is only wanting one thing.

For me at least, I don't a problem with accountabilty or being held accountable for my actions, what I have a problem is when people use accountability as a means of just coercing people to bend to their whims. And I don't mean in a self serving "I refuse to appologize, or admit when I'm the wrong because I never had to face the consequences of my actions in a signifigant way" sort of way. It means that "I'm responsible for the things that I do, and I refuse to have my actions be used as a free pass to treat me like a punching bag". To elaborate, that means I willing to hold myself accountable for my own actions, and I refuse to be raked over the coals for other peoples wrongdoings on the basis of "Guilt by association via six degrees of separation", or being roped into some petty online drama(Especially if it's a total nothingburger, or something that could have been easily resolved in private.) Unfortunately, when I do try to establish the boundary of "I refuse to be a scapegoat for something I had no involvement in, or be used as a proxy soldier for some online war", I know that it will come with people jumping to the conclusion that I have some ulterior motive, or trying to downplay something serious. It's like I'm prepared to say to most militant femnists, "I'm not responsible for ever bad man on the face of the planet, I'm just one guy"! Likewise, I'm afraid if even if I am apologetic for my actions.(No minced words, no excuses, full transparency) It'll probably not be enough, and people will just accuse me of only apologizing to clear my conscience, or to absolve myself. Even if I'm on my knees assuming the dogeza position willing to accept whatever social(or even physical) punishment comes my way, people might think that I'm just trying to grovel my way out of the consequences. And then procede to use every past mistake no matter how small against me, and use it as justification to rake me over the coals.(Again, I have to stress, I don't mean in a self serving "I refuse to accept that my actions have consequencces, and instead blame all my problems as me being the victim of the cancel mob!" way.) It's just, again, I'm responsible for me, and that should be the end of it. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TfRCF6yvoo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TfRCF6yvoo&lc=UgyzwamSis_nIz1-jOB4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251013 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @katetoldness4220 AUTHOR_ID: UCchGSmeWzCd8Uf2cED70ezQ TEXT: i did have a moment of "hang on..." when you said men shoul not assume they are being blamed unless someone says "It's your fault" and using the example of the woman partner coming home and sighing about the dishes not being done.

For example, What you said in this video, doesn't match what I said at all. What you described in this video doesn't even remotely look like what I intended to say. And those two statements have been rattling around in my head all morning because I have no idea how to say these things without it coming across as antagonistic or snippy. Please Liana, again, I am begging you. Read my words as someone who is genuinely coming to you with kindness, openness, and a desperate desire to have a better dialogue with you. These disagreements that we have been having are genuinely upsetting to me. I have been watching you for a long long time and I will fully admit it's painful to watch you think that I am here to seek validation out of criticizing you. It is a thorn in my side every time I come to this channel knowing that I have become this "criticism guy" to you. I want to contribute. I want to be a patreon supporter. I want to be on the discord. But that's difficult when you talk about how much fun you had saying things about me that are too harsh for you to even repeat. And it's really troubling because I think this all erupted just because I talk kind of autistically in YouTube comments. This has all been downhill since that one comment I made that I started with the words "constructive criticism". I do that just as a linguistic flourish because I like to categorize my comments for fun. I wasn't trying to assert my dominance as a constructive criticism master. Enforcing my will and judgment upon you. I just start my comments with things like "question: yada yada" or "off topic anecdote: yada yada". My comment this week WAS NOT criticizing you. In fact, I specifically chose the words "bad mentality" because I thought it inherently implied that I was focusing on the argument and not the person. I am not in any way trying to say that you have a bad mentality in your brain or that you even have a flawed outlook. I was just trying to say that I didn't like how you phrased what you said. Forgive the lefty progressive terminology but if I may, It was more like "hey, that statement you made has some problematic aspects to it". I'm trying really hard not to rehash the disagreement because I'm genuinely not concerned with "winning" this particular discussion. But two things you said are flatly wrong. I did not make a you-statement. I simply did not say that "you have a bad mentality". I said "that is a bad mentality" referring to the statement and not you. And I did not say "gradually". I said very specifically that men need to mature at 18. But we need to treat all men 18-80 differently. What I was trying to get across is actually rather rigid. It's okay to be misinterpreted. that's fine, it happens. I just need to say this because what you described fundamentally goes against what I believe. And It's troubling because I had specific examples in my head. Because I want the leniency that we're talking about to apply to my 70-year-old uncle Walter. And I want that respect of manhood to have been given to myself when I was 18. What I was trying to say in my comment was that I dont want younger men to be treated differently. I want all men 18 to 80 to be treated exactly the same. I want all men, trans, disabled, young or old to be given a healthy dose of expectation and the freedom to address those responsibilities the way they see fit. I just don't want those expectations to be ridiculing them when they buy Legos. And no, I am not accusing you of doing anything like that. I just felt like the way you phrased that particular thought allows for that sort of treatment. If you disagree that's fine. If we have different perspectives that's fine. Just please know that I am jumping through hoops trying NOT to criticize you. I do not want to accuse you of taking things too personally. I don't want to talk about it. I have quite a few problems with your channel but they don't matter. It's not my channel I am just an audience member here. But you are continually adding a layer of personal information and intent onto our interactions. And I don't know how to stop it. I'm sorry this comment is long but I have one more thing The way this entire conversation is happening is a problem for me. There's a pattern in your schedule that is really disruptive to have a conversation. It happens like this. You drop a manly Monday. I respond. If we have a disagreement, or worse, if you are upset by my disagreement, then you respond around the same time that you are filming Feedback Friday. I don't actually get an opportunity to respond. Then Feedback Friday. Which can become inspiration for another Manly Monday. I don't believe you've ever responded to me on a Friday. And rehashing it Monday is me dragging up an old problem that's over a week old. I do not think you are doing it intentionally but I think this leads you to make your comments final and conversation ending. For example, if you were so confused, you could have asked. Again I'm not trying to come down on you Or throw criticism at you. I'm just saying. You could have asked. This pattern extends the conversation while not really giving me a point to respond in a productive way. Please.. I am asking you with every ounce of humility that I have. And I'm sorry for asking for a special treatment. But if I upset you, could you please afford me one opportunity to respond before making it feedback. Otherwise I feel like I should just never disagree with you. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8sdxTpEaGg COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8sdxTpEaGg&lc=UgyCJ0RpYEYYDnimRRp4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251121 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TheArceusftw AUTHOR_ID: UCynpVSnrzeDrdMqNSOHzCNQ TEXT: Really, it's all just one big exercise in "Hurt people hurt people'. Where you have people who were raised in very troubling circumstances develop this "eat or be eaten" mindset, and pass that pain on to someone else, repeat ad infinitum. It's rather sad when you think about it for long enough. As always, I still stand by the notion that being a victim of circumstance shouldn't automaticaly absolve someone from the consequences of wrongdoing.(And I don't mean in that terminally online mob mentality, use every past mistake against a person sort of way.) And unfortunately, you end up in double jeopardy where you're accused of either "coddling bad behavior because the the person in question trauma dumped", or "Invalidating people's feelings because you set limits, and refuse to let people weaponize their trauma." Again, it's all just one big race to the bottom. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-cpWwRuU_g COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-cpWwRuU_g&lc=UgzTEvNwyJdVRcXsHAh4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251217 COMMENT DATE: 2025-12-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: Personal time is what I like enjoying.

Unfortunately, alot of the conversation about stigmatizing mental health has been co-opted by bad actors looking for an easy escape hatch for their actions. It's basically another layer of people who use their mental illness as an excuse for their actions. It's one of those thing that end of being one of my biggest fears, that if I'm not constantly on my knees groveling assuming the dogeza position(Again, that's a gesture of deep apologisim in Japanese culture) for every minute transgression, I'll be accused of using my autism as an excuse.(And I don't mean in a self-serving, "I'm shook that my actions have consiquences because I'm too used to being surrounded by enablers, and now that I don't have that safety net I'm trying everything I can to save face besides facing the consiquences of my actions like a mature adult would!" sort of way.) Again it just leaves me in a catch-22 negative feedback loop. Likewise this is sort of one of those hypocracies I've learned to notice is that some people who are quick to accuse others of hiding behind their mental illness, tend to also be the same people when confronted on their actions hide behind their mental illness, and when called out on it, accuse you of "Stigmatising mental health, and punching down on someone with a mental illness."(It's basically the old "I'm a Neurodivergant Minor age regressor with anxiety" card to put it simply.) This sort of behavior is also prevalant amongst the "Self diagnosis is valid" crowd, the people who insist they have issues like Autism, ADHD, Tourettes, Anxiety, Depression, DID, etc. when in reality, they're just again looking for an easy get out of jail free card to exploit.(And I'm going to leave it at that, because the debate around the validity of self diagnosis is a conversation for another time and place.) It's all one big race to the bottom built on a foundation of "Rules for thee but not for me" style hypocracy. Like the Ouroboros eating it's tail, it's an infinite loop that's perventing us from making any meaningful progress towards actually helping those struggling with their mental illness. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-L7W1MIyXPE COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-L7W1MIyXPE&lc=Ugz03DxCGPIFqrGT_F14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250924 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itsrickyschannel. AUTHOR_ID: UCrWBNDMxLNWTv4Ftt8qf-tw TEXT: 41:15 - Yeah this is one of those stupid things where people are gonna believe what they wanna believe. It reminds me of the whole thing with Biden when he was president. A lot of his opponents always seemed to want to find a reason to hate on or dunk on him in some way. While in some cases, people were saying Biden was conspiring in some legal or illegal way to (insert what he was apparently doing here), while on the other end, he was getting too senile to run the country. Like, if he was really going senile, how could he do the other things you are claiming him to do? The more annoying thing is, between you and Biden, both sets of detractors will believe these conflicting beliefs. They want to believe and they dont care if its true, thats the sad thing and any sense of denying it is flipped into some kind of "confession by denial" sort of thing. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-L7W1MIyXPE COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-L7W1MIyXPE&lc=Ugyz7kEFLf4pwpCOKoR4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250924 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: Good video today.

Men are expected to be the initiator and the persuer. They are expected to be able to do the things that are required to obtain sexual access to one or more women. If a male is unable to do this, then it speaks to his (lack of) capabilities in the other arenas of their life that they can't. It could mean they are unreliable or cowardly or lazy or emotionally unstable. But what it boils down to is that a male who is incapable of obtaining sexual access is also likely to be a bad investment in masculine interactions as well. They aren't Men. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_upIpxomvd8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_upIpxomvd8&lc=UgwgqW2kyNm3kJkUJk54AaABAg.AB8zHi6q1uIAB9H9ILZo-C UPLOAD DATE: 20241122 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @kshadehyaena AUTHOR_ID: UCL2e1235CdMRbsFFvj1PUhw TEXT: Your criteria don't work, plenty of unreliable, cowardly, lazy and/or unstable men get laid and have friends.

Combat is fun (second hardest difficulty as warrior), although I hope there is a way to set the party to auto detonate statuses; I could see using the RB menu could get annoying after a few dozen hours. Normal enemies die a little fast, but bosses are engaging.

I'm sorry, but I can't watch this anymore and I don't want to finish the video because of "The charecters are amazing, they're the best set since Origins"... That sentence made me genuinely sick to my stomach. After 35ish hours into the game before I decided to abandon it, I cannot take your opinion seriously in good faith... The most of the charecters are the worse out of all of the Dragon Age games. They're either awfully writen (which is primarily dialog) such as Tash/Harding/Bellara or they're incredibly boring such as Emmrich/Dvarin/Lucanis. Neve was the only one I liked even though her delivery was flat and boringish. Tash is an annoying hypocrital child in the body of an adult both in her comments about being a pirate and how she treats Emmrich/Neve. Bellara would a great charecter if this was a Kingdom Hearts game, but it's not. Harding was a personality hire and an attempt at a Varric replacement + chosen one dwarf. Lucanis also has no personality trait other than murder and coffee, if I have to hear him mention how he likes coffee one more time I will h@rm myself. The rest of the cast just feel dull. This cast feels like a failure to replicate DA2 cast, I dare you to try and compare Fenris/Andres conflict vs Davrin/Lucanis which was the closest this game came to actual conflict. I get that you don't like inquisition even though I think it was a better than that Veilguard and DA2, but even it had better charecters with Solas/Bull/Dorian/Cassandra etc... They had real conversations while the Veilguard feels like they are acting out an HR education video tape. Most of their conversations don't feel organic and even when they try to you can usually feel how fake it is. I genuinely want you to compare the banter from the past 4 games and make that claim again... (I love the series and I love having various different charecters, but as long as they are either intresting or feel genuine which to me is not the case with Veilguard, I guess I am burnt out from people who have to be postive about everything that I can no longer tell the difference between toxic positivity and someone genuinely being positive about a game) This game was a 5/10 for me, not awful...

That said, while I did enjoy the game, it was still a disappointment as a dragon age game. In that, it felt way more like a Mass Effect game. I've preferred DA over ME, so it's a bit of a bummer they seem to be taking the series more in the direction ME went (I like Mass Effect too, just liked how BioWare did Dragon Age better). Although, since most of the DA:V team are now working on the next Mass Effect, I guess fans can be assured the next game should feel very Mass Effecty.

And the next big impression it made on me was seeing parts of the german translation of genderneutral terms. Some languages, like english, sound fine with they/them etc. The german words they chose, read like Jar Jar Binks dialog. It actually made me wonder if the whole dialog of the Rook is written and spoken like that if you chose to be nonbinary.

I do understand not liking how it's represented, and the Arab/Muslim comparison is a good way to explain it. That said, the Dragon Age world is Super racist, and people being hateful/ignorant of the Qunari not being all the horned people isn't an unreasonable thing to have happen in the setting. Granted, the difference between the Qunari & the "Qunari race", and Arabic people and Muslim people, is the Qunari have stated multiple times they don't have a name for their race. Which is fine as a concept on its own, but seems a weird feature to give the Qunari people. They're VERY into putting everyone into a box just for them in their culture (including folks outside the culture), so it seems weird they'd have names for everyone/everything Except their race. Maybe when they first arrived to Seheron and kept mostly isolated, but it's been 300 or so years since then, and they've added people from all over Thedas to the Qun. I'm not saying BioWare has to change it and make the Qunari pick an "official" race name, but I personally think it's an odd quirk that doesn't really fit with the Qunari's whole deal. At the very least, after a while, they'd have made up a name just to get the bas to stop asking the question! ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf3JX3EBhzk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf3JX3EBhzk&lc=UgyvsLhqFT9-1y1v4Yd4AaABAg.AD-eLF6B_EzAD28Xpsa4wT UPLOAD DATE: 20250107 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @GarethOfByzantium AUTHOR_ID: UC-4q_I29Dc9eQRN1CqtAVTg TEXT: They could just say Vashoth on the character creation screen. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf3JX3EBhzk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf3JX3EBhzk&lc=UgyvsLhqFT9-1y1v4Yd4AaABAg.AD-eLF6B_EzAD3Do7bROSR UPLOAD DATE: 20250107 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @UndeadRLK AUTHOR_ID: UCr-vpEiDTHW4k73WrLDlnvQ TEXT:  @GarethOfByzantium  Yeah, probably.

So I’m still honestly surprised that so many others are surprised that Veilguard is the direction it continued to evolve. We were saying the same thing about Inquisition, and before that we were saying the same thing about Dragon Age 2, which had a lot of casualization done to it over origins. And each title has changed what came before it in this way so this could be said of pretty much every game in the series outside Origins. Either way, it’s not a bad take, it’s all subjective. Veilguard is so different from Origins that they might as well be different IP’s entirely. So that’s going to appeal to some people and not to others. I vastly prefer Origins, but I still begrudgingly played Inquisition and Veilguard anyway, actually platinum’d both, and Veilguard was not nearly as bad as people claimed it to be. It was even enjoyable if you take it for what it is. Out of curiosity, did you play it? Because a lot of this either doesn’t apply (even if the internet was coaiming it did with cherry picked lines that aren’t indicative of the entire game) or is pretty vague and subjective as well (‘puzzles are atrocious’ for example without any additional context or examples). And this is from someone who does not like the direction Inquisition and Veilguard went in, but after playing it can recognize that some of the internet’s claims about the game are pretty hyperbolic and at least imply they hadn’t even played it. Mortismal Gaming, known for reviewing a lot of CRPG’s actually called it his game of the year as well after 100 percent completing it (he predictably got a lot of hate for this as well, lol). It is a divisive entry though for sure, much like Inquisition was so I’m not surprised people are so polar on it. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf3JX3EBhzk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf3JX3EBhzk&lc=UgxvXLBH-LHoNL5S2FR4AaABAg.AD-aClKDpsgAD-uKOFaUTr UPLOAD DATE: 20250107 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @distance7721 AUTHOR_ID: UCP90GcxoF2j-Rgto33ggLyA TEXT: @mandrews6282  I think it was a combination of nostalgia and the long wait between games.

It seemed like an easy layup for Bioware if they had even spent a couple hours in community forums to know what people wanted. And after Andromeda and Anthem, they should have played it safe and gone with and old school Origins style rpg. They were already mid development but this would have paid off even more coming a year after the mega success of Baldur’s Gate 3. Hopefully they’ve learned something before Mass Effect 5 hits. But if not we still have Exodus coming this year (Mass Effect in all but name) from the old guard bioware staff in their new studio.

I have played Veilguard for an about hour then it hit me with so much story telling dissonance that I quit immediately. First 50 minutes of gameplay were great! I made elf mage assassin even though normally that by far wouldn't be my first choice, but endgame set for assassin had so much bling that I said screw it I am playing heartless murderer this time. Then after 50 minutes I left character creation menu... First thing that greets me is scene in tavern after which Varrick reprimends me, a hired assassin, for being too rough(wtf?) AND THEN after leaving tavern my character jumps into searchlight beam which is presumably looking for me! A member of assassins guild! Just to save some innocent(how do you know that?) lady who my character doesn't know! I alt F4ed then and didn't return, but after watching your review maybe I will give a game second chance and play gray warden or something, but If game didn't want me to play bad character then why give option of being an assassin for a hire and give them best set of armour to the boot? ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf3JX3EBhzk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf3JX3EBhzk&lc=UgyJ5GxK6aFL1Hp50oR4AaABAg.AD-PMJrBmNxAD0edgzsChl UPLOAD DATE: 20250107 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @AileynRed AUTHOR_ID: UCqUg7b8RZEZcdpf0XEH2BNg TEXT: I can second the opinion getting better as it advance, specially after the first big turn. As per the Crows, "assassins" aren't necessarily evil, specially not the particular Crow faction you join (they still kill people tho). I think BG3 and other games with more alignments options have created the same expectation for Dragon Age, but you've always played a heroic character in these games.

Same as when series try to directly reference current events. They'll get something wrong and suddenly it is all about misrepresentation. It works so much better to file of the serial numbers. A good example would be the old "Yes minister" which did reference current events like the purchase of trident or the us invasion of Grenada but because it was fictionalised they could streamline it and make it work for all time. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vacy1qDPm_4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vacy1qDPm_4&lc=Ugz-YJTGsBB3Q06phLV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250416 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Dwavenhobble AUTHOR_ID: UCSe3Phjrbm5DiAZbTeJka1Q TEXT: "If being mean is so awful......." not in the context you brought it up but as a generally concept is is a thing I'd say is kind of explored in something I recently watched "Deadly Class" which was cancelled by SyFy after 1 season.

I dunno just my weird thoughts because to give a Harry Potter reference some-one can present themselves as Dolores Umbridge pretending to be civil and non threatening, her pink fluffy décor, the non threatening cardigans, the cats on plates while being utterly utterly awful and they way they end up being stopped in not through being nice but people being some level of awful bad ultimately to them. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vacy1qDPm_4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vacy1qDPm_4&lc=UgzU0YB4_dSEjBv6uZ14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250416 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Dwavenhobble AUTHOR_ID: UCSe3Phjrbm5DiAZbTeJka1Q TEXT: The new Battlestar Galactica is one of those shows I'll defend but it's like you endure like 2 seasons of stuff that is compelling but it's not happy watching to get to 2 seasons of more what the hell am I watching and sort of coming out the other side of something bad having happened.

And also rejecting the people who espouse it below a certain status level. Or all of them because tons of people don't even understand Capitalism either these days. If you'd like to separate into a group of people willing to support someone like "you" no matter what you do, you and all your friends with similar beliefs should go apply for citizenship and move into Little Queer Commune and pay taxes for the right to practice your religion in America. Or just stay in Canada. But stop pretending you're everyone's bestest buddy. You're not. And that's ok. You don't need to be friends with everyone. Doesn't make you a bad person. Maybe a poor asset to your Canadian busybody sowing circle but not a bad person. We see through you, though. The best way to avoid getting "moralized" by people without morals is to avoid you.

Where alot my negative thought spirals pretty much is a constant loop of thinking "I'm a burden and a nuisance or(Insert other insecurity, or character flaw here), therefore I am undeserving of friends", or "I feel unwanted in the world, what's the point of me existing, did whatever higher power that dominates this universe is out there just bring me into existance as a cruel cosmic joke?" "People are low key judging me, and are plotting my downfall". (When it's not just Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day, Welcome to my Life by Simple Plan, The World is Black by Good Charlotte, or Chosen One by Mona Lisa Overdrive playing on loop in my head.) But then I have to realize "Oh right, most people don't even know I exist, and people aren't actively plotting against me so it's just all in my head". It's certainly one of those things that are brought forth by Schemas formed by past negative experiences. One thing that helps is accepting the fact that not everybody is going to like me, and that's okay.(There'll always be a Frank Grimes to your Homer Simpson.) A part of that also means, not wasting time to win the approval of people who who clearly hate your guts for merely existing. Also usually the people who love to pick apart other people's character flaws 9 times out of 10 tend to be the people with absolutely zero shred of self-awareness, and are probably projecting their own insecurities onto you as an easy escape hatch to avoid working on their own flaws. It's also important to know when to pick your battles. If someone's is clearly just there to stir the pot, don't even bother trying to dignify them with a response. Ultimately what I'm getting at is, it's important to surround yourself with people who accept you for you while at the same time not afraid to challenge you. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vacy1qDPm_4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vacy1qDPm_4&lc=UgzS0-tPcGyQ98dAL_R4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250416 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ciscodeer9094 AUTHOR_ID: UCh5xjLeogbllhMLOUPYLPOg TEXT: Well Liana like you said hurt people, hurt people.

That's pretty much the problem with the people who fly off the handle whenever you say something they don't agree with. An utter lack of self awareness, where these people are with no sense of emotional regulation are just projecting their insecurities onto an easy target. Again, I get that alot of it is probably coming from a place of being hurt, at the same time that doesn't just give a person free reign to just unload a bunch bile onto people who had nothing to do with it. Really, if you're the type of person who sees the people who hurt you in the past everywhere you go, then it really gets hard to navigate the world, and you end up in a perpetual sate of catatonia. And that's one of those traps that gets easily twisted into toxic thought patterns. This is also previlant in people who're quick to blame their problems on everyone else. It's a placebo. A quick fix, rather than the long and difficult task of doing actual self reflection, and as an added bonus, it can be exploited as an easy get out of jail free card to completely absolve you of any consiquence.

It's because the truth of the matter is, a part of maturing is knowing when to pick your battles. And it's not about any moral high-road talk, it's more about saving yourself from alot of unessicary headaches from getting roped into needless conflict, and reducing any collateral damage that comes from needlessly lashing out at people. That's why that "Society betrayed me, so this is the start of my villain arc!" mindset ultimately ends up becoming a self-defeating prophecy. Likewise, one of the many reasons wy I've forgone pirsuing any sort of romantic relationship is because of that hightened danger sense and living in defense mode, I constantly live in fear of unknowingly landing myself in a toxic loveless if not outright abusive relationship. (Again, more people need to listen to the Elvis song Devil in Disguise.) If it means being at the recieving end of a bunch of "Dateless virgin incel" remarks, then that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

I don't think that's just a case of coping with low status. Rather it reflects their reality. If you're in the bottom third of American society, you're in a world where a lot of families don't have fathers and male incomes have been losing ground for generations. Most of the authority & higher status figures you'll interact with growing up - teachers, health workers, social workers, etc - are women. Girls do a lot better than boys in school and are much more likely to go to college (and have a shot at moving up.) In this world, there isn't much apparent male privilege and feminist arguments, even when backed by data, won't make as much intuitive sense.

The rittenhous gun was semi-automatic, not automatic. For the record, the vast majority of guns are semi-automatic. Actual automatic guns are somewhat tricky to get and either quite expensive or quite illegal. It is a bit of a pain point because there is so much bad info int he gun debate and a lot of policy is based around vibes and scary looking guns instead of what works. While the "military style" AR 15 that was used is the big "dick replacement" gun an old-school 1940s battle rifle would actually be more dangerous because of the bigger and faster bullets. Of course in the grander scheme of things it doesn't really matter what kind of boomstick the murderous shitstain carried and he shouldn't have been there in the first place. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaz5Pfi3h-c COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaz5Pfi3h-c&lc=Ugx-A-BzzPr7zyE1yLh4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250813 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @VolkColopatrion AUTHOR_ID: UCOVN03HyGARIHShN_n2vbbA TEXT: What the crossing state lines is not relevant because the states there as conjoined as they are understand that yes they can indeed do that acknowledges the license and ability of a 17 year old to own a gun and the states actually permit that for the 17-year old.

The individual did defend communities he has found innocent because there were weapons being used against him and he shot those people committing violence against Rittenhouse and having a direct threat on his life.

I remember a story near the start of the year where "The Oxford Center", (an "alternative medical center", aka Scam Hut), was pushing their hyperbaric chamber as a way to pretty much treat everything, and while that's normally just financially harmful, it caused the death of a 5 year old boy because they didn't bother to perform regular (or even yearly) maintenance on the chamber. Now, the ACTUAL medical centers aren't as bad as Oxford (for the most part), but they are for profit organizations and have a tendency to put profits above all else. Thus, things like the anti-trans narratives about how hospitals are just rushing kids/adults into transitioning so they can siphon as much money as they can out of them is made easier to make believable. Since the part about for profit hospitals having a tendency to view patients as bags of money they want to turn upside down and shake, comes from a documented pattern of behavior. Again, it's not the WHOLE industry, but it's FAR from uncommon. To be clear though, the people championing those narratives don't really push changing things so the medical industry isn't so easily able to overcharge patients, but just make gender affirming care even harder to acquire. For trans people, at least. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaz5Pfi3h-c COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaz5Pfi3h-c&lc=UgyVHHyE0IbMVvz7rJh4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250813 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @dercooney AUTHOR_ID: UCXwNe9Keuvq5glvLcA8cmeg TEXT: god, i thought we were done with rittenhouse. anyway, no, the stuff at around 6:00 isn't factual * kyle didn't cross state lines with the rifle * he was allowed to possess the rifle and testified that he would have carried a pistol if that was legal * CNN continued reporting these as fact after they were shown to be false * i believe the rifle was gotten via straw purchase and that was prosecuted * didn't he shoot 3 people and one just lost a bicep? i take issue with CNN apparently making stuff up, or at least treating facts like they're optional ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaz5Pfi3h-c COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaz5Pfi3h-c&lc=UgxcJJbqhSlaRDzkCBp4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250813 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: I agree.

Likewise, the former is ust another case of people using the vicitm mentality to justify their own toxic behaviors.

In fact the director's cut adds an armour set that specifically disables normal blocking in exchange for being able to chain your riposte. I think there's also this schema that Ghost is just a Kurosawa tribute, because as AC Shadows is a romanticising of the Warring States period, Ghost of Tsushima is one for the Mongol invasion of the island. So while there's a tendency to treat them very differently, there are in my view more valid points of comparison that is being given credit for. Not to mention, Warring States Japan is a setting that has been done to death in pop media, whereas the Mongol invasion is a much rarer in terms of exposure - the only other one in recent memory was the anime called Angolmois. As an indirect result of this, AC Shadows is getting worse scrutiny, and has to be either extra historically accurate or extra interesting in its story telling to garner praise than Ghost which is just about free to embellish because anything would feel novel un comparison. Not discounting the people who are set to hate on it no matter what, but these are my observations as someone who doesn't even live in the west, and therefore super detached from the culture wars. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yMCJPJ1xoI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yMCJPJ1xoI&lc=UgzrhctMQsfWmoDJHM54AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250402 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @katetoldness4220 AUTHOR_ID: UCchGSmeWzCd8Uf2cED70ezQ TEXT: So my husband and I watched this old Bette Davis movie called Jezebel in which she plays a volitile southern belle about to be married. She gets angry with her fiance when he doesn't have time to accompany her dress shopping for an important ball. So in revenge she buys a wildly innapriopriate dress. He is deeply shocked at her choice but they still go to the ball during which she has a meltdown because everyone disaproves of her dress. Her fiance calls off the engagement. A lot of more modern commentary on the movie just calls her fiance "controlling" and "wanting to dictate her choices" because that is the schemas they were using. And too be fair, there are plenty of old movies that endorse that kind of man. But I felt my own schemas shifting watching the movie. I didn't think that was the case. I think he wanted to know if his fiance could be trusted to make responsible choices by herself and failing that, if she were able to own those choices. She did neither and he didn't want a wife who he had to constantly watch and direct. This further hit home when he brought back his new fiance, who was from the north. She was gracious and soft-spoken most of the time but could, when necessary make bold choices and stand behind them. Just because scenarios or plots can have some points in common doesn't mean they are the same thing and that can be seen if we are willing to "get granular" as you say. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yMCJPJ1xoI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yMCJPJ1xoI&lc=Ugxqd3lcdXvcimSWBBZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250402 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: Yeah.

Basically that's the big takeaway I got from this decade so far. From a combination of world events, and life changes just accepting that things won't be the same is important to proper emotional maturity. And that part about learning to not constantly act like you're in that vunerable bullied kid position is also important. That was one of the positive takeaways from I was willing to embrace in graduation that I never have to put up with the people who made my life miserable in High School. It's important to not constantly think "The world is against you" if you don't want to end up a miserable person. This also helped me in gaming. Because growing up I was predominantly a NIntendo fan(And while I did have an Xbox 360, I didn't use it that often compaired to my Wii), while I wasn't super intrenched in the console war, there was a part of me that associated PlayStation and Xbox(And the concept of "Hardcore gamers") with the very toxic Fratboy jock culture, and really uppity graphics snobs. Same thing with PC gaming at the time. (Basically I had the whole "Every I didn't like was a Playstation or Xbox fanboy" outlook when I was younger.) And now that's changed that I've goten into PC gaming, and I have a PS4 pro(Granted I mostly use it as a DVD/Blu ray player, but still.) And now I initially felt discouraged from trying out Palworld because I felt like the more vocal fans where vere smug and elites and just as guilty of the "Criticism not allowed" mindset they hypocritically call out Pokemon fans for.(Basically I felt like the defense of "Pokemon fanboys claiming Nintendo/Game Freak/TPCi has trademark on creatures based on foxes" was just as bad faith of an argument as Pokemon fans blindly denouncing the game as a whole as being built on plagerism just because of a handful of similar looking monster designs.) But, then I remembered "Oh yeah, I shouldn't let a vocal contingency of toxic fans discourage me from giving this game a shot". And I did, and it was a pretty alright game. Not the big "Pokemon killer" that people were touting it as, bust still an alright game, and are very interested on what direction will it take after it leaves early access.(Depending on if the game doesn't get nuked from orbit by Nintendo's legal team.) ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yMCJPJ1xoI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yMCJPJ1xoI&lc=UgxkccCkAMssddh4qwd4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250402 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @dercooney AUTHOR_ID: UCXwNe9Keuvq5glvLcA8cmeg TEXT: odd, thtat isn't the schema i've been using for AC shadows. instead, i looked at them searching sengokujidai for any black guy, declaring him a samurai, and pairing him with a chinese looking woman, then getting the buildings wrong, stealing from japanese groups for some of the art, etc. i like AC for the setting as much as the plot, and the devs just don't care. but, point taken on schemas ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yMCJPJ1xoI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yMCJPJ1xoI&lc=UgxkccCkAMssddh4qwd4AaABAg.AGQBvSCwx-nAGULy5u-tS5 UPLOAD DATE: 20250402 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @gbacl AUTHOR_ID: UC2PvqHpMiV7lCfinbycjRMA TEXT: Still waiting to see the illusory "Chinese architecture" i keep earning about ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yMCJPJ1xoI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yMCJPJ1xoI&lc=UgwFX9iV0ejXdJmcQyV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250402 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Sabrina-e6y AUTHOR_ID: UCliDhGGAhTbNwTmSGvvxA_w TEXT: Og bungie was some of the funnest times i had in gaming.

Completely agree with you on everything! Especially with how extremely difficult platforming section should be saved for optional quests. As a fellow fan of Hollow Knight, I've basically stopped playing partway trough Act 3 in Silksong. My main issue with this game is that the difficulty felt artificial. Almost everything from Act 2 onwards just becomes 'double damage: The Game'. Not only are some of the benches too far away, or that the boss fights discourages you from experimenting, or that you have to fight waves of respawning enemies on your way to the boss, but even touching the boss deals you 2x damage? That's just ridiculous. I've stopped playing when I found out i had to do a 4 mini-gauntlet sections leading to a boss fight, in which if you die, you had to redo the entire section with the gauntlets again.

For example... Almost two years ago my lady friend and I were on a flight from Toronto to Vancouver after a 10 day Caribbean cruise. All of her expenses were paid by me, if you know what I mean. We were both tired and hungry. On the flight they only had two meals left, one with meat and a vegetarian meal. She insisted that I take the heartiest meat meal. So I did. She ate the vegetarian meal She was pissy with me all the way home. When we got home I offered to cook up a simple meal for her but she was livid. Afterwards she moved out of Vancouver and it took me almost two years to ask her why via email. She wrote back saying that I should have given her the big meal, even though she had said I should take it. I realize now that I did miss the unwritten social rule that as the man in the relationship I should have refused her invitation to take the meal and offered it to her instead? Arrrgh! I was brought up to be direct in my speech. My dad hated pretences and told me to speak my mind when I had a problem, so I took that to heart. Well, we are officially broken up, but, at least I know why. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnjC2beDWL8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnjC2beDWL8&lc=UgzSAZe8sKhFJxE1aoV4AaABAg.APNRESts_nSAPUYk1SBYBj UPLOAD DATE: 20251110 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @katetoldness4220 AUTHOR_ID: UCchGSmeWzCd8Uf2cED70ezQ TEXT: I'm pretty sure Liana would tell you something similiar as to what I'll say. But you did nothing wrong. Your ex was being passive-aggressive and the only way to deal with that nonsense is to take them at their word and not guess. I think I can illustrate this with a slightly changed scenario from your experience. Suppose your lady friend said she'd take the lighter vegetarian meal because, though hungry, her stomach felt a bit dodgy and she didn't want to be over-full for the flight. But she doesn't tell you this and you insist on putting the meat meal in front of her. The upshot is, she's feeling overstuffed and sick on the plane, you're underfed and possibly cranky. Even worse results, more bad feelings from a decision that you made from the exact same deficient information. And she probably still would have been "pissy" and broken up with you because you didn't magically divine that she was on the verge of a stomach ache. I think it's great that your dad taught you to be straightforward and say what you mean. And I wish you all the luck in the world that your next lady friend can match that energy. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnjC2beDWL8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnjC2beDWL8&lc=UgzSAZe8sKhFJxE1aoV4AaABAg.APNRESts_nSAPVUlQIZqxJ UPLOAD DATE: 20251110 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @visaman AUTHOR_ID: UCVmzmLAWc0RMFscQCz13wFQ TEXT: ​​ @katetoldness4220 Thank you for your thoughtful reply.

Blaming someone else for your own actions is another form of trouble avoidance. It was shitty of her to pressure you into working under conditions where you would never be able to give a good performance. With the Wicked poster edit I think both sides are making too big a deal out of it, the edit was clearly aimed at recreating the Broadway poster hence covering the eyes, and adding red lipstick and a more sinister but mysterious expression. And the fans are right that the actress’s expression in the poster is very neutral and that was perhaps a sub-optimal creative choice. At the same time the actress does have a right to get annoyed, especially if the changes to the poster design were things she’d pushed for, but perhaps it wasn’t the best idea to mouth off on Twitter. And at the same time her mouthing off isn’t really a big deal and people getting angry should remember she’s entitled to her opinions. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qwKQ4QJCy8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qwKQ4QJCy8&lc=UgzQYk1LtziFuNBH7bx4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241022 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ChrissyCat87 AUTHOR_ID: UC_nIlwzPOghpXNpSKbPLasQ TEXT: Oh no, I'm so sorry!

So unless Liana was downsizing significantly that would have taken a massive chunk of whatever she got from that sale. Further there are the costs involved in moving, which will take another large chunk of the cash if everything is being moved (and it still is not cheap even if everything isn't being moved). The sale of a property one is living is does not really give one a massive boost in availible assets. Again, stop trying to lie and manipulate. It is really weak and sad.

Then S told L that her boyfirend didn't like that voice work. Then L confronted S's boyfriend about that and thr associated issues with said work. S's boyfriend flips out and leaves the Discord. Turns out it was S who had the problem with the work but used her boyfriend as a sheild saying it was him that had the issue rather than her. Using "she was scared" as a reason to not just tell L that it was her that didn't like it. Then also S badmouthing L about this after the fact. Thats the best i can manage to pit together. Regardless, I hope things improve. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qwKQ4QJCy8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qwKQ4QJCy8&lc=Ugw94U8C50OmKMd-S9F4AaABAg.A9twAsErwJMA9zPpw1GmKl UPLOAD DATE: 20241022 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @SarAhn-m4w AUTHOR_ID: UCelnRMdvGP54Yn63bo4E9qQ TEXT: Exactly.

The Steam Bans from what I can tell ('m part of a group that monitors steam stuff collectively) was a lot of titles but not from a lot of developers. 1 developer lost 50+ titles mostly from the groups research and watching they were asset flip / shovelware adult titles mostly an hour long at most, mostly Ren'py visual novels with Daz or similar asset store items. I think in total in the entire ban wave maybe a whole 8 developers were hit on Steam. Itch all the developers were hit and no-one knows where it's going to go. Steam wasn't say Subverse getting hit. Does it mean there shouldn't be a pushback against it because of the stated goals of the group that did this suggesting they're using this as an easy entry point to push for more measure later? No there should be pushback . ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzMaHO9uRo4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzMaHO9uRo4&lc=Ugy1cCM4kyau5pUksSp4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250725 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Dwavenhobble AUTHOR_ID: UCSe3Phjrbm5DiAZbTeJka1Q TEXT: Adding something to this because maybe it's important context.

Luckily once Steam started allowed adult games sales he was able to get his titles on there.

When Mary Whitehouse did this kind of stuff in the UK, the fight was won by what likely weren't the most clean tactics it was making her into a joke so no-one took her or her points seriously. The BBC had the show "The Goodies" do a parody of her and her campaign with the plot them making a super tame education film about sex and her going mad at it leading to Bill Oddie (yes the guy who now does bird watching) becoming her nemesis and making basically Cinderella but if it were Game of Thrones. A group of comedians made a fairly offensive comedy sketch show and titled it "The Mary Whitehouse experience" an adult entertainment mogul chose to name his latest line of clubs and adult magazines Whitehouse as a shot at her. I don't think vs Steam and with the current field of battle we could win 100% clean and fair. Because we're not fighting a level fight we're fighting one based on emotional reactions so we can't win a true by the facts fight because it's not about facts but feelings so we'll have to play at least a bit dirty by say pointing out Collective Shout don't know what they're on about because they think Detroit Become Human should be banned for depict child abuse even thought the context is you're meant to save the child from it to undermine Collective Shouts credibility or other such moves. We stand a better chance vs the Itch de-indexing but that fight has to start once Itch makes it's next move not before because we don't know what's going to be done s we'd be fighting blind. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzMaHO9uRo4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzMaHO9uRo4&lc=Ugy776z5yvJK2hfI-3x4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250725 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @shadowreaverrising1753 AUTHOR_ID: UC6lpudxm3NEqQ4tQ-CERuqQ TEXT: Family court is a specialized court that handles legal issues concerning family relationships, including divorce, child custody, support, and domestic violence Look it up right now: family court.

What's the difference?" is a rhetorical question but I'm going to use it to segue into something I'd like your feedback on, if you have the time. When I was 11 or 12 years old I was somewhat homophobic about gay men. I knew there was nothing wrong with gay men. I knew they weren't bad people and I was fine with homosexuality, in theory but I had this deep sense of "Why do they have to be so in-your-face about it" or "why can't they keep it to themselves?". From what I now understand, this is a fairly common manifestation of homophobia where, In reality, I was viscerally uncomfortable with gay men's sexuality and wanted to forget it existed. (Something I've since overcome, for the record) I have begun to wonder if this is how many women feel about straight men. Are some women so uncomfortable with straight men's sexuality that they would rather forget it exists? And is what we are witnessing in various media a manifestation of that? Pornography reminds women of straight men, so it's a problem (People rarely call porn for women/gay men problematic). Sexy video game ladies remind women of straight men, so it's a problem (People aren't really calling Astarion fanfics problematic) Any cleavage, ever? Same issue. Male nudity? Not an issue. Straight men aren't into that. Trashy romance love interests? Not an issue. It's escapism. (They're not for men so they remind women of sexy men, not men's sexuality.) Having been in that mental state, I know how absolutely convinced someone can be by this kind of thinking. It's visceral, It feels like you're under attack. And every reminder just reinforces why you feel the way you do. But intellectually you don't have a problem with it. I can't tell if I'm trying to square a circle or if I might be onto something here. As I said I'd appreciate feedback, if you have the time. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzMaHO9uRo4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzMaHO9uRo4&lc=UgwTcE5NxQi0fKwAPDd4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250725 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Tnu1138 AUTHOR_ID: UCvcDm_QxP2DHVVJzEpS4t0w TEXT: I do have a bit conten tion withs ome of t his.

It's the same argument that black men are commit more crimes as part of gang activity, so we can't say there is bias in the legal system against them. The reverse logic could also be used to argue that US courts show bias in favor of Asian Americans and Jewish Americans because they are "statistically under-represented" in prisons, but it seems there is less political motivation in the USA to make that case. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzMaHO9uRo4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzMaHO9uRo4&lc=UgzdjlDqqfrHRkJG7PZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250725 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: You've played this videogame of politics before!

The first and most obvious is the bans themselves. I'm completely against banning media of any kind. Restrictions and limitations are fine so people that choose not to see something can avoid it, that's fair IMO. I'm a big believer in tagging NSFW stuff on the internet and keeping certain things off public broadcast. The other is that these companies can impose these bans, or strong arm others into banning things to be more accurate, with no alternatives. Visa and Mastercard shouldn't be able to decide who is allowed to do business in general, much less at the behest of pseudo-religious moralists. And I mean that in regards to any such group hence why I didn't specify the actual groups in this case. Sidenote: I do find it odd that these Credit Card Companies are being pressured into actual since they don't have competitors, which is why Steam and such has to ban things to appease them, so what could "bad press" possibly do to them? Even Disney has competition bad press can shift their customers to. This is hyperbole by if Visa and Mastercard announced tomorrow that they supported cannibalism and opposed animal rights what are people going to do about it? This whole situation just hurts my brain. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzMaHO9uRo4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzMaHO9uRo4&lc=UgxdaUDJluHCVCq9WO54AaABAg.AL-pS2G67HcAL01lkqwACc UPLOAD DATE: 20250725 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: Credit card companies are regulated.

If they (and other Post AAA devs) continue to be successful, I can see them becoming the new Ubisofts, EAs, and Activisions in the near future. Modern AAA is waning in profits and cultural relevance. "Post AAA" studios will eventually come to dominate the industry and become the new AAA devs. I prefer the descriptors films use: "Block Buster" for major, big budget "AAA" games like Grand Theft Auto 6, "Mid Budget" for games like Claire Obscure: Expedition 33, and "Low Budget" for smaller games like Schedule 1. "Indie" should just mean any dev or studio not affiliated with a major, legacy studio like EA, Rockstar, Blizzard, etc. This makes it easier to compare apples to apples. Hideo Kojima and a solo dev using RPG Maker are both "indie," but the scales of their financial and human resources are what differentiate them. This era of gaming reminds me of Hollywood in the 50's-60's. The major studios like MGM, Warner Bros, and United Artists were burning ungodly amounts of money on bloated historical epics like Cleopatra that consistently bombed at the box office. Meanwhile, a new wave of film school grads were making leaner films that explored ideas the traditional studios were afraid to touch. Over time, these small timers like Spielberg, Lucas, and Scorsese came to dominate Hollywood and became the new bigwigs of the industry. This era is called "New Hollywood." If history repeats, I suspect something similar will happen to gaming. I can see this era in gaming and studios like Sandfall or Kojima Productions as "New Gaming" or the "Gaming New Wave." ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edyhZ8BcmJ8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edyhZ8BcmJ8&lc=UgyYnlNS9RXGyKAblrZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260106 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @michaellewis1545 AUTHOR_ID: UCz_-lre8IsZv1nPr-xgfeAQ TEXT: Have a nice day. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edyhZ8BcmJ8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edyhZ8BcmJ8&lc=Ugy5JAhSfxzp5AS6LSF4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260106 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @SF-TDW AUTHOR_ID: UCPFcYNFiwJnYDg-SFOQF0-A TEXT: I'm confused as to why we can't call these sort of games as "Double A" games ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edyhZ8BcmJ8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edyhZ8BcmJ8&lc=Ugy5JAhSfxzp5AS6LSF4AaABAg.ARdWzh8tJKtAReLtbdMgOJ UPLOAD DATE: 20260106 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: Because Double A, borrowing from sports metaphors, suggests a place you play before the majors, not a splintering off when you don't need the big league model anymore.

On one hand, there is a call to criticise toxic masculinity in media, but when male characters are written to be vulnerable and are in friendships where they can open up to another male, there is a knee-jerk reaction to ship them as a gay couple and also label them as 'queer coded'. If they don't get together, the writers are guilty of queer baiting and are thus homophobic. We can't critique 'toxic masculinity' and then cry about 'queer baiting' when a platonic and heterosexual male friendship departs from traditional masculinity. It would require huge amounts of cognitive dissonance to hold both of these views simultaneously. There is plenty of room for gay relationships in media, but we don't want to get to a stage where writers of platonic friendships are so afraid of being accused of queer beaiting, that they limit the range of emotional expression allowed, especially when the definition of queer baiting becomes broader and all encompassing. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uf7mB134KkY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uf7mB134KkY&lc=UgwHTD6St8VpS3O2Pmd4AaABAg.ARi-zrZvoH7ARlLLmnH8x4 UPLOAD DATE: 20260107 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: Yep, There's a definite doublethink going on there.

At the same time, some people are outright awful people who had that behavior fostered and enabled, thus giving them the mindset that they can treat others however they want, and no one can stop them. And when you decide to put your foot down, and decided you had enough; the instigator suddenly try to flip the script and suddenly act like they;re the victims.

Oh and the winter fuel payment, the means testing Labour put in means you have to basically be on state support pension, so have never saved for retirement in any other capacity to get it. It's not Millionaires losing out, it's people who worked and saved for their retirement even a bit their reward for trying to be responsible?

Don't get it wrong; I'm not one of those people who complain about media getting "Too political"(Because social commentary in Superhero media is nothing new.), at the same time, there's a time and place for everything. Likewise, I find it rather depressing that people dismiss anything that has spreading kindness(read, basic human decency) is just woke nonsense. It just goes to show you that just blind hatred and negativity is the deadliest force of them all. And it's not just the Anti woke crowd, the more hardline left is just as guilty as dismissing hope and kindness as just blind naivety, and softball centrist nonesense. Again, this just proves there's a huge disconnect between people who spend their lives endrenched in constant doomspeak, and online echo chambers that only serve to validate their particular worldview, and people who are willing to look past the baseless shouting, buzzwords, and doomer rhetoric to gain some broader more level headed perspective on things. Hope isn't about just blind optimism, but again being willing to help those around you even when things are at their lowest.

Ayn Rand hated Reagan because he was a conservative, not a capitalist, who advocated pro-business, not pro-labour policies, and opposed abortion. Rand thought religion was "anti reason" (another reason she didn't like Reagan) which means that she'd be very much at odds with the modern republican party. The biggest acolyte of Ayn Rand to serve under Reagan was Alan Greenspan, but he was chairman of the Federal Reserve, not an elected official.

I want to say this is absolutely not a big deal. The D&D alignments are trivial and don't matter. But.. That's not technically what lawful evil is. The lawful versus chaotic portion of the D&D alignment chart has to do with whether or not your oriented towards the laws of the land or your own personal ideals. Like, a lawful good person follows the law whereas a chaotic good person cares about their own ideals over the law. Now evil does get really confusing because When you're assigning an alignment there's a tendency to think that it's a conscious effort by the character. But I think it's easier to picture it as what they're willing to do. I interpret lawful evil as someone who breaks the laws. Again you got to imagine the word lawful and evil as two separate categories. If there is a law against necromancy and you practice necromancy you would be lawful evil. But chaotic evil only your own morals count. So it's someone who does evil according to what they believe is evil. Basically a mob boss is what I believe would be lawful evil. Chaotic evil would be somebody who does something they fully believe is evil but the rest of the world doesn't necessarily care about. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jzt-aPpHv5k COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jzt-aPpHv5k&lc=Ugw3NoOb4D1v3RcCeu94AaABAg.AO5xPQBudixAO6F0tqwRne UPLOAD DATE: 20251010 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: No a mob boss is not lawful evil.

I don't believe I described it the same way. In this video you described lawful evil as someone who follows the laws but does evil. I interpret lawful evil as someone who breaks law and does evil. When you say corrupt politician. Do you mean someone who follows the laws but does harm? Or do you mean someone who brakes laws in secret? And When you hear mob boss. Do you interpret that as someone who breaks the laws but has their own underground rules? Or just someone who is a career criminal? This is what I was saying is so confusing about D&ds alignment system. There's a lot of interpretations out there but the original intent of lawful versus chaotic alignment was whether or not your decisions were guided by the laws of the land or your characters own personal code. Keep in mind this is a character building sheet. These are stats basically. It's much easier to understand what the game designers were going for in those older systems when you separate the term. Instead of asking what the idea of what a lawful evil person would be. Ask what are the mechanics that drive this particular character's decisions? Are they good or evil, and do they care about other people's rules or their own?

I think it is a really hard skill to learn how to turn a point where two sides disagree into a problem that both sides work together to try to resolve rather than each side deciding it is a problem intrinsic to the other's essence in some way. There is a difficult line to draw regarding boundaries because, like you say in the video, people have their limits and in each individual circumstance there may only be bad outcomes for one side if the other side is refusing the attempt to turn the conversation into a collaboration against the problem. But it would be good to try and build larger societal structures that can make the collaborative approach feel more available to us on average rather than what it often feels like at the moment as a lost cause. I think the point you brought up about competitiveness in education and then in the working world is really interesting. Maybe there are things schools could do to help give us more first hand experience of (and education in) collaborating with each other in ways that actually feel positive (rather than the "group project" that, if the stereotypes are to be believed, often fail at truly feeling like collaborations). I guess another thing I notice (which is linked to education) is that I think we are taught really intensely how to draw trends, averages and patterns by aggregating information and then we are taught how to frame the questions we ask in terms of the clusters that form out of those aggregations. This is really useful for understanding the big picture view. But I don't think we are taught very well at all how to take this big picture view and re-contextualise it into each specific circumstance (e.g. just because the average woman is shorter than the average man does not mean this man is taller than that women). And this is where a lot of the "men are like ..." and "women are like... " statements fall apart. *Even if there actually is good data* showing those statements as likely be true in the *average* case, there is often a failure to re-contextualise the statement to the person/people you are talking to with the consideration that no individual is the average person (and only ~1 is the median).

It's the natural consiquence of the team sportsification of politics. That's my primary problem with the Hardline Left.(For clarification: when I describe the "Hardline" or "Far" left, I'm specifically talking the more Socialist or Communist leaning positions), where they're quick to blanket brush anyone who isn't totally in lockstep with their beliefs as a bad person. And the minute you suggest that maybe they should ease up on the constant purity tests, and not lump in everyone to the right of you(Read, more moderate Liberal/Democratic stances, to say arround the sort of Joe average milquetoast Conservatives) in with the more Hardline Right. You get alot of dirty looks, and accuse you of wanting to compromise with evil people, or trying to "both sides" or "All lives matter" every issue.or accuse you of being to much of a cowardly fence sitter who's too afraid to pick a side, or moderate who's to soft to take action. All this does is just sour my opinion on society as a whole, and make me fear that we're just fasttracking our way to our own undoing.

Being good faith and genuine is always my highest priority. Speaking of, I couldn't even see that other comment. They must have me blocked. I would also like to point out a very good point you made. You said we may not have the luxury of being petty. And that's fair. You may be right in that our current climate may not afford that luxury available to us. However, that absolutely begs the question, can we afford the hatred that he was spewing? Hatred that we all, including his fans, acknowledge he was spewing. My second response Friday may not have gone through I can accept your judgment of me being petty. I am perfectly okay being petty to someone that racist. I'm black, I believe I have the budget for it. But I think is unfair is your insinuation that I am dancing on his grave. You, possibly unintentionally, made a switch with what would be a proper application of your version of the Golden rule. It wouldn't be "Do I want someone killing me and then dancing on my grave". It would be, "Do I want someone reserving sympathy based on my own actions.". And my answer to that is absolutely yes. It's too much to get into but I have explicit examples in my past of me encouraging others to do exactly that. The Bible talks an awful lot about judging others but I believe I'm allowed to accept the judgments of others. Anyway I am attempting very much to come across as good faith and I feel it's unfair to insinuate that I'm dancing on his grave. I also feel I should mention that you made a bit of Mote and Bailey with the subject of my take. I said very specifically that I withhold my sympathies for kirk. It's unfair to then assume that I have zero sympathy for the people around him. I didn't watch the video that was the precursor to feedback Friday, so it seems that may have been the subject matter. But my comment was very explicitly directed towards kirk and his actions. Some side notes: I did mean sympathy. I wasn't attempting to play off of any sympathy versus empathy stuff. Also I'm not aware of kirk making the sympathy/empathy distinction. I've only heard him and other conservatives object to empathy. Which is truly repugnant to me on a religious level. Calling it a sin should be considered actual blasphemy. Also small thing, Not really important, but you added a bit of a voice to reading my comment. It's not a big deal but I didn't intend any level of indignance. I'm not autistic but it's probably best to read my comments with an autistic level of hyper specificity. Lastly, I would like to push back against me not taking turn the other cheek into account. If you remember in my overly pedantic response I added a stipulation about when respect and sympathy can be withheld. And I also acknowledged that withholding those sympathies has its limits as well. Turning the other cheek, also has its limits. If I was to be physically attacked I would not turn the other cheek. I would defend myself. I am not the shepherd. I am flock. There will be times when I cannot turn the other cheek. When I must simply turn my back. I thank you for your time. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2trcchAVxkw COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2trcchAVxkw&lc=UgwXbrqgZVNVzx9Nw-F4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250917 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @sealsharp AUTHOR_ID: UCiKtPlO92fFx8PyDmylxkug TEXT: I love that "you are a not christian/the right kind of christian/muslim/whatever you are going to hell/whatever" stuff.

These society events keep happening and we forget, but then we remember. Eventually, there needs to be respect for everyone's right to live. I agree with most of what you're trying to say. These conversations don't get any easier. Anyway, here's my own opinion on this stuff. It might not help, but it lets you know that some of us aren't in the pot by choice. Living the best we know how is the point. Also, sorry to hear about you getting bullied as a teen in a anti-LGBT way. You helped the best you knew how and you still try to help. The people who respect that are not showing you their disrespect. That is the truth. My opinion: If free speech is the freedom to get away from speech as well as to speak your mind, then we should also have the freedom to continue living our lives regardless of someone's powerful killswitch. In my reality I saw both sides, because I said nothing. I know what I've experienced, so I do what is obvious to me. Roll my eyes if the social situation in question is pointed to me but doesn't speak to me, walk away, keep walking my own way. Right now, the culture water is boiling and I don't need to hear an apology or blame. I want to hear what we gonna do about the bullshit we call hate from all that's been going on for the past 10 years. Let people talk, if everyone is talking shit. Fair is becoming a lie for sure. It's been going that way. We should just keep our brains and live our lives like we've been able to up until this point. The fire happened. We just gotta admit it and pickup from a better point in our lives. A not fucking people over point in our lives. I'll try to continue doing my thing and wait for the rain like everyone else would. Not saying people are, but I'll try like usual. I don't promise it, but I want to continue with my vibe of retirement. A desire to exist naturally is only human.

Unfortunately, you're not allowed to point out how messed up celebrating his death can be without being accused of downplaying his abhorent views or being called a "facist symphatizer". Again, if this happened to someone on the left I didn't like, I'd still think it would be messed up.(And I say this knowing full well that someone might accuse me of trying to "both sides" the matter. Honestly, at this point I've made peace with the fact that people on both ends of the political spectrum hate my guts for one reason or another, and there's a part of me that learned to not really give a care about the approval of a bunch of termninally online armchair activists, but that's a different matter.)

But we live in a society where "expression" is put on a pedestal. Thinking before you speak is not. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puosaVoVEtQ COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puosaVoVEtQ&lc=Ugz-Rm-8Qpn8zzeh5r14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250312 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ArveEriksson AUTHOR_ID: UCf5jIB7FhINssSYNIndlbsw TEXT: *Endure.

I was going to say something nuanced about always having a build that's balanced offensively and defensively in games to reflect the ability to take what you dish out in real life. But then I remembered that defence in games comes in so many forms - raw damage reduction, percentile DR, evasion stats, even positioning and pure mechanical knowledge. One example of the last two is The Division 2, where being in cover and good (re)positioning makes you take zero damage despite playing glass cannon builds. And in my mind, knowing that all of these options exist depending on the game requires IRL intelligence, and knowing which to apply requires wisdom. I guess my conclusion is that IRL the most important defensive stat is wisdom. It would allow you to know your limit and avoid situations that will make you take more damage than you can handle, while letting you outright tank mental / emotional damage that slips through. Edit: it's occurred to me after posting that this is a point that has been made on this channel before, but probably worth reiterating ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puosaVoVEtQ COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puosaVoVEtQ&lc=Ugz_p7ReU0N4Yz3HnlV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250312 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TheArceusftw AUTHOR_ID: UCynpVSnrzeDrdMqNSOHzCNQ TEXT: I may not know much about Elden Ring, but I can agree, that not everyone is built for the glass cannon approach, because they see the raw power, yet are blind to all the drawbacks that come with it.

Warning: A Huge Battleship "Academic Trauma Dump" Is Approaching Fast. Abstract: My PhD supervisor(female) was a strange, lecherous boomer nerd (that I probably should have pressed charges against), who thought that our area of research being sort of tangentially sex related was license to (non-consentually and mostly unprompted) inform the lab of the sexual proclivities of her favourite sci-fi authors and her (probably imagined) escapades with some of them at conventions. Full-Text: I obviously can't link to any actual published papers without doxing the person in question (or the rest of the lab), but the project I was involved in can be summarised as: "We think we can find and develop a male-acting long-lasting, reversible contraceptive drug, equivalent or better than current female-acting alternatives, and meet at least veterinary standards immediately". The initial use case was to be a vaccine-style approach to controlling feral animal populations that was cheaper and more humane than surgically neutering or destroying them, with future scope for eventual human clinical trials. While contraceptives are obviously sex adjacent, I just wanted to get into drug discovery and this seemed a less intensively competitive route to get my foot in the door than something like cancer research. The lead researcher was a former veterinarian firmly in the boomer/prime-hippie age range (aka well over twice my age at the time), who too often to be mere chance would either give unsolicited recommendations for the latest book she was reading (invariably something like the aforementioned Sex at Dawn and under the subtext she wouldn't stop until someone talked to her about it); or torturously relate something (again inevitably sex related) written by Heinlein/Roddenberry/Rand to something work related as she would know of course as she (supposedly) talked/did other things with them around the time they wrote those things. Conclusion: Academia is hell, and the first two seasons of ST:TNG become even more unwatchable once you've been (forcibly) made aware of the fact the Roddenberrys were likely including you as viewer as part of their kink scenes. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uucXiBGEpf0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uucXiBGEpf0&lc=Ugz6__xYI2y6tUrs92J4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250207 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @neilvarma AUTHOR_ID: UC_9bX8q25qDIzzL9LSL07JQ TEXT: Love this title ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uucXiBGEpf0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uucXiBGEpf0&lc=UgzMBZevUw98jmYEY154AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250207 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Aries73 AUTHOR_ID: UCXcjFnRxCrfoPY-QIu5fKsw TEXT: We’re living in a world that rewards evil as long as it benefits the “right people” and harms those who they believe shouldn’t exist. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uucXiBGEpf0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uucXiBGEpf0&lc=UgycqNoTG4XYRSJBZpZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250207 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: You're here trying to do a thinking job.

I think what’s particular about the experience of black trans people is the amount of othering we go through , people may not care personally at first but they are more likely to be swayed towards negativity because of fear mongering and lack of personal experience. Most people’s negative perceptions of people like me don’t come from personal experiences, historical mistreatment , etc. It solely comes from lies and misinformation that is spread for the purpose of distraction and subjugation .

I was just trying to say, overall, it's mostly a cultural thing that's affecting men and women, and that cultural shift has created the problems we have today—at least it's super clear with dating and relationships. But whenever you talk about dating and relationships, resources and mating strategies are a thing that we have to acknowledge exist for the problems you stated in your Monday video, or at least the last few Monday videos I've seen. And there's a lot of understanding from psychologists, sociologists, and evolutionists in the science side of things that say, directly or indirectly, that the culture we have currently—which is either influenced by the sexual liberation movement, the feminist movement, or both from the '60s onward—has played a role.

I've watched the whole video. I intend to make a video response. But let's just touch on a couple of points. First, I haven't read Sex at Dawn, but I know more than that has been written in the whole Evo-Psyche sort of investigative survey category. No matter how complicated you think humans are, they're plenty predictable. What many are witnessing is that some people have strategy for navigating relationships, and many don't and resent the idea that such a thing is necessary or ethical. There actually is no "alternative" to being known as an endpoint to relationship with other people. So, the strategy doesn't really matter under those terms. What you're really criticizing isn't "what" some of these people are saying but "how" they say it and "why". Another thing. You seem to completely misunderstand Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. The needs on the bottom aren't "lesser", they're "foundational". That's why they're on the bottom of the pyramid, supporting the ones above. The needs higher up on the pyramid cannot realistically be attained or maintained without the lower ones. So, the lower ones are actually higher priority. And don't lots of people know it? You can't be a painter if you have no paint or material to make pigment. And before you paint, you should probably eat food and drink some clean water, right? You can have starving competitions with your artistic friends once you've prepared for the occasion, don't you think? I don't think people have common cause like you imply. I would say we have a common desire and a common use for mutual understanding. But no, I'm not dying for you. I'm certainly not doing it just because you might "promise" you'd do so for me. That's not relationship. That's guilt. That's the short-circuiting of the evaluative process. We have no bonds but the ones we request, reify, and honor. My life might be better if I had "lotsa friends" from "all walks of life". But if I don't actually know how to make those friends or keep those friends then there's no reason that I should expect to have them. I'm not entitled to them. However, lots of people are both "screwed" and friendless. And I think that does need help. I'll get into each of these points in the response video. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_fJjF2Ppzs COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_fJjF2Ppzs&lc=Ugyx1qEfGlcBhBxi7pB4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250131 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @thebigdawgj AUTHOR_ID: UC44qE3wx7gNUgU4TC0_Op4w TEXT: What's the issue with what he's doing with illegal aliens specifically? ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_fJjF2Ppzs COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_fJjF2Ppzs&lc=UgxnYiMPgy0sVlYFIUV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250131 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @PhantomSinger1 AUTHOR_ID: UCkIEz53BTq2ns7pglsA02hw TEXT: From what I can find about the Qunari is that they have a system that allows for trans individuals, but they do it different to what modern trans people demand. Qunari philosophy states that males are inherently better at some things and females are inherently better at others, even in roles that could be done by either. BUT! Sometimes an individual proves they are perfectly capable at a role usually reserved for the other gender, so they are regarded as that other gender. The outrage I heard about was over a Qunari coming out to their mother as non-binary, a word used by foreign/modern cultures, and the mother was confused. Not upset, not demanding their child be exiled or 'fixed', just confused at a foreign culture's concept of gender identity. Confusion? From a fictional character in a fictional culture that has its own fictional word for being trans but not non-binary? OUTRAGE! Nothing short of total acceptance and celebration will do. How DARE the writers use a rational approach to what some people irrationally wish was perfect and real. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_fJjF2Ppzs COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_fJjF2Ppzs&lc=Ugz2E5Sad3iU_6WHZh54AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250131 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @endymion30 AUTHOR_ID: UC6RqMPUpPi-eHEJ5sDHrzlw TEXT: 25:33 being LGBT myself my issue with the non binary character in vailguard and the “ pulling a barv” was very hand fisted and game off as a lecture I didn’t mind sirona the trans woman in hogwarts because the character was more than her status as a trans woman, she was enjoyable The pronoun choice in games feels awkward though not something I would flip out over I don’t like alot of the progressive ideas of lgbtq making it into games as it comes off as performative and pandering and often leads to a bad or worse product Do I mind themes or lgbt characters?

Transitioning is a very big decision and is something that I would encourage everyone to take as much time to consider before going through with it. I’m not fond of ever decision trump has made, some I think are good like getting rid of dei ( it was unconstitutional if you take “ freedom of association “ into account, plus it’s just matching racism against racism), going after the military and their benefits?

Well with a lot of what you said. Well when we worry about social norms in the now, just think. We will be looked at 20 years laters just like the people who had Jim Crow laws,segregation, no first or 2nd wave Feminism, inevitably, the idea of trying to preserve tradition is inherently a flawed concept. Inevitably, it will come off left wing, it's ironic that a government, who for decades never gave a single shit about our soldiers, made them fight to protect our freedoms, EVEN. Fight in wars we didn't need to be in like the Gulf War and Vietnam, CAN'T even guarantee people regardless if they're transgender or not, medical services they NEED. It's incredibly ironic. How history rhymes, things we think we learn, just end up in another primordial form. And what really defines all this? Ignorance. Ignorance and ignorance of complex issues inevitably leading ignorant people to follow people who have no idea wtf they are doing. Complete bozos. I guess it's why I have a sorta pessimistic view of politics. Politics and grifting are brothers & sisters for a reason. Hell, it's why you see it more in media grifting. Because, nothing these people offer, have any real insight, or value. Nothing to give back, only to use flawed logic to push bigoted perspectives or ignorant perspectives that are antithetical to a free society. While it doesn't apply always to the right necessarily, (and I don't think everyone on the right is a bad person) I do think that the ideology of self preservation for tradition itself will crumble. The younger generation will revolt and resent those who lead the US atm. Hell, the wheels have been moved in that direction for a while. I guess, it's only a matter of time before the people fight back the rights that they themselves want in a free society. I think the left if there is any fault in em, (which I think there is) is just not using the best arguments against these crappy decisions. Or at least, not the best scholars to really say, "Yeah, we shouldn't be making declarations of there being only 2 genders when they have no idea how gender itself informs our own subjective truths of us and how we perceive ourselves in societal norms and context" The left can be blamed for sure in how specific ones did try to police freedom of expression stuff, but it's ironic how the extreme right who says they don't do it are now doing it.And also that there are a lot of executive orders even affecting real life people from being even considered real people. Even having some self reflection and challenging the stuff we considered "unacceptable" is part of a growing and healthy society. Society is always moving forward, not backwards. That is why history is significant and how we should learn not to rhyme. Rhyming should be left for poets and writers who specialize in that lol. I agree too ultimately, that with art and fantasy, that we should be open minded. And I don't really care that a character is Non Binary. (I admit maybe when I was younger I would have cared? But so many of my friends are Non Binary that I don't mind anymore. They're cool and chill. And I don't think it matters as long as the writing is great and the game is fun. Games are art.

Or is that more like eating different foods gives you different chemicals rather than the food being part of your being? Just an interesting thought I had. Sidenote: IMO the story of Elden Ring and other Soulsbourne games is the player character doing things and everything else, is the stories going on around them.

It would make sense to stay with them, because a dangerous ash fallen monster world is scary. I think everyone would love and respect that trans character like their lives were on the line. I would love to see more of this in games. No time for pettiness, when you could die alone without them watching your back. We need to see more transgender characters in video games, so we can prove that basic respect towards them is just as normal as with anyone else. It starts with being a part of the picture or video game. Just doing their part to help save the day. The first moment you meet them is who they told you they were. No double take. They told you their name and that they were the kinda woman or man that was born to shake down the forces of evil and they are looking forward to working with you! They are no longer questioning who they are, because they are a fanatsy war hero in their own right. You're just fighting along side THEM and creating a bond that no one can take away.

It's about whether it's acceptable. "Normal" people compete for acceptance all the time. "Not-Normal" people complain their way to a laundry list of necessities first through special interest groups and THEN further their influence in schools and alienate "Normal" people along the way. That's what they do instead of competing for acceptance. It's a genius strategy. "Don't give people a chance to tell you "No". Go over their head instead." So now the rest of the people realized that their methodology for living their lives needed to be updated if they're going to stand a chance of getting their outcomes. "Normal" people got tired of losing cultural ground. They got tired of a "tolerance" where they're the butt of every Progressive joke. And they also realize that maybe Elden Ring is moreso for "Other" people than they realized at first. One last thing for you to consider; Is it "dehumanizing" to persecute people who are actively trying to de-gender humanity or could be reifying to humanity considering that survival seems to depend on reproduction and everything else related to it? I'm just saying "Dehumanizing" is a word that I'm not sure is well understood by people who like using it or have noted how strongly people react to being accused of it. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_fJjF2Ppzs COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_fJjF2Ppzs&lc=Ugzkiml4MTszSgGNHjZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250131 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @neiltemple123 AUTHOR_ID: UCGUYSa7XnrzYoqRiqS9WDFQ TEXT: Any comments about Emilia Perez getting 13 Oscar nominations apparently because of Trump's hate of DEI?

You actively don't want to produce a child because if a female vampire is pregnant then it might be particularly dangerous for her life (need more blood and nutrients and stuff). For men though, you are going to produce a dhampyr if you have a child. Want to know what dhampyr were best known for? For being the ultimate vampire hunters. If you have children as a vampire, you are producing the perfect predators for your own kind. Also calling Jewish people genocidal is kinda tone deaf when one considers one of the most infamous acts of genocide was the holocaust. Yes, the Israeli government is enacting genocide, but Jewish people as a monolith being tied to genocide feels very icky. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHNkHWjTHWI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHNkHWjTHWI&lc=UgzR4IJWGMVlQ0XWeQp4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251128 COMMENT DATE: 2025-12-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @wrmsnicket AUTHOR_ID: UCxSX9m5IhDca6JcBKdh_chQ TEXT: I’ll never understand studios hiring singers that are clearly there for their singing talent and then just not use them.

Last night I watched, on YouTube, two promos you did with Ed, for This Movie Sucks, particularly the infamous giantess movie segments, and I was blown away by your acting ability, no seriously, you were vulnerable and menacing. But I could see that you were having a good time, although, I have to admit that knowing you as I do now, I wanted to tell Ed to shut up with the boob jokes already! 😂 In long, if not in short, I wish I could do something to make you feel like smiling again and maybe see you let loose with a belly laugh or two.

It's not new Mary Whitehouse did similar in the past by saying her campaign against Violent films or TV or plays wasn't pushing for censorship just wanting to have a discussion about how society was becoming worse and how the people who have the power to censor films should be doing more to protect society. So these days people are having to read subtext in what's said more because people word stuff in a specific way to allow them an escape and never have to be nailed down to a specific position they have to defend. Maybe there has to be an understanding people might read it wrong and the willingness to engage and clarify but if a person refuses that and goes "Wrong... Didn't say that" and refuses to clarify it can be seen as they're refusing to carry on and the person pointing it out is right. similarly if the person who seems to have it wrong responds to the clarification with "No you totally meant this and you're therefore totally and [whatever word for bigotry today applies]" then the criticism can be dismissed. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkvSSnG3IM0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkvSSnG3IM0&lc=UgzLcIxJauWdh7obUg94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250630 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @visaman AUTHOR_ID: UCVmzmLAWc0RMFscQCz13wFQ TEXT: I have mixed feelings about your mini rant about being treated as an object.

Each man is going to have to evaluate where he is at and determine how much risk he is willing to take. His skin right? I am an odd man. I don't like criticism and I don't like bad blood. It seems like people are using me for stress management or to shore up their social standing. I get it though; being reasonable and measured is the right answer but sometimes it takes a much stronger person and a lot of us cannot afford to be that person. I liked the video what you are asking is correct. What you are asking is also dangerous. If a man is not positioned to have more of a say so in his social standing every reasonable and necessary thing you've asked for here will make things more miserable for him for the short run and that short run may be quite a while. I agree there are women who recognize strength in a marginal man. They assume he has had to claw his way past a lot of bull and persists with a kind of resiliency. Maybe I'm out of line but I think some are just lucky that way. Bowing and scraping is how most of us men and women get by. Outside of those I'm responsible for I don't know how I feel about forcing a man out of his comfort zone. He'd become mine wouldn't he?

But there's a part of me that keeps telling me "This type of emotional self abuse and self-inflicted emotional constipation is only going to make things worse". Constanly needing to remind myself, "Most people don't even know I exsist, so I'm just being unreasonably paranoid" Rinse and repeat.

Keeping yourself mindful and in the moment during mundane daily activities. Kinda reminds me of habits I have with specific kinds of games, and how I have to play them certain ways. If their are collectables, I gotta get them all. If the game has a progression system with leveling that lets you level up as much as you want, I gotta get as high level as I reasonably can before I go fight the next boss, or head to the next area and what not. I don't really HAVE to do those things, and in some cases where the games are made in a way to disincentivize the behavior enough, I do stop. As an example, the Zelda's 1000 Korok seeds are set up to relatively early in the collecting be not worth it to keep going, and the final reward for getting all 1000 is a literal giant gold turd. Still, keeping to such habits does help keep me engaged, and I appreciate it when games are designed to make it way less of a pain to stick to such habits (like the trend of games with random battles letting you skip to wining non-boss fights if you're leveled enough above the enemies). Also, kinda off the main topic, but it came up in the general video, so I'd like to ask something I've been curious about for a bit, but didn't know how to phrase. In keeping with the spirit you mentioned about wanting to understand another person's perspective/opinion, but not necessarily wanting to change said opinion sounds like a good way to go about it. Apologies if I mess that up. Again, don't want you to change your opinion, or "challenge" you to prove to me that you're right like some kinda debate bro. Just wanted to ask about your perspective on something, so I can learn it. Frankly, I'm not 100% sure I've got your view on the topic understood itself (at like a solid 80%, but that's an easy X-com miss). So please, do correct me if I completely missed your stance. I only watch your youtube channel, but haven't seen every video either, so if you've been more explicit on your views on this topic elsewhere, let me know that too. Especially if I'm way off the mark. Anyway, sorry for the real long preamble. Just really want to write down this question in a way that avoids it coming across as "Do you like dead babies, Liana!? YES?! NO?! MAYBE SOMETIMES?!" So yeah, based on what I've see ya say on it, it seems like you're not including genocide/attempted genocide in the list of war crimes committed in Gaza. If I'm not off base on that, and if it wouldn't be an overly burdensome thing to do, I'd like to hear/read more details on that perspective. To be clear, haven't heard/seen ya explicitly say that's how ya feel, so let me know if I'm incorrect. Also, since I'm asking you to give such information, it seems fair I also provide it too. I think genocide/attempted genocide can be listed as one of the war crimes happening in Gaza. Granted, I can see the kinda pedantic argument that technically people in power pushing for a "occupy, expel, settle" strategy would arguably accept an outcome where the people are rounded up and forcibly removed, instead of straight up killed, so it's more an Ethnic Cleansing. However, (also, too be clear I don't think this is the stance you hold either, as I think if your opinion on the matter was, "Well actually, it's an ethnic cleansing, not a genocide", you'd probably just say that), such an argument, while kinda right, it's also such an extreme case of "splitting hairs", that it needs a more strongly worded phrase to describe it. That said, while I do think what's happening in Gaza fits the bill of genocide, I also see how putting all genocides together kinda over flattens the context they each have. The Rwandan genocide, the Armenian genocide, and the Holocaust are all genocides. That's just a factually aceturate statement. However, if all someone knew about those genocides was that they were genocides, and ya asked them to describe one of them, all they could really give to describe them would be just the definition of a genocide. Not inaccurate info, to be sure, but you probably wouldn't come away from that short conversation confidently understanding what any of those events fully were. Obviously because, genocides are complex, messy, horrors of the world that defy being comprehensively described by just a few sentences. Anyway, hope this whole thing wasn't too much. Sorry if it was. Otherwise, have a good one! ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVPrzv1M9XM COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVPrzv1M9XM&lc=Ugxu4wPwg_Y93T14tjZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250812 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @dercooney AUTHOR_ID: UCXwNe9Keuvq5glvLcA8cmeg TEXT: ugh, trying to avoid gaza discussions. can't exactly tell people that when gaza talks about free gaza, they mean that they want palestine to stretch from water to water, and that the palestinians largely support hamas, just not when it's losing. at least i got traction with bibi being ambivalent to genocide so long as it keeps him out of jail. seriously, you've got two groups of people who largely want to slaughter the other. palestine feels it more, but a decent number of israelis do too. was anyone expecting a clean resolution? ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVPrzv1M9XM COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVPrzv1M9XM&lc=UgwXDqkiCKcsmoH7wSx4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250812 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @SenorZorros AUTHOR_ID: UC53ezeQUMdon7MHn2cuRNQA TEXT: I feel very conflicted about tolerating both US conservatism as well as the imported Dutch version.

Also, what you and a lot of YouTubers leave out is the California statute she sued under, where it’s illegal to terminate a working relationship based on differing politics. The intent of this law was to keep blacklisted actors from being out of work during the “Red Scare”, but the language was broad enough to cover all sides of the equation. Even though her contract ended, there’s the defamation claim where she had a case based on how they publicly dragged her through the mud. Also, she had a “letter of intent” promising her own TV series. Also, if this show was the announced Rangers of the New Republic, she wouldn’t be pursuing any longterm projects if she knew she had a series waiting.

I'm very much on the outside looking in as I'm British and hold no religious views personally. Generally speaking there aren't Christians in Britain, there are Protestants and Catholics and well centuries of history involving that whole thing that are still semi-relevant today depending on who you ask. My Grandfather's family didn't come to his wedding because my Grandmother was Protestant for example. I digress; I don't know what the process of converting to Judaism is but for MACC it's stating you're Christian...there isn't even the acceptance of the End of Day's Judgment like in Catholicism (and Protestantism though I'm not sure) since MACC believe in the "rapture" which yeah that's not a thing in the Bible. Actual Christian lore says you don't go to Heaven or Hell when you die, you stay in your body till Judgment. Sorry went off on a tangent there. My point was I can understand why Gina would have that question if her perspective on religious observance was go to church once a week and "don't sin" whatever that might mean from any given preacher. I feel like this was a bit pointless to bring up but I'm trying to exorcise seeing where other's are coming from since my raw reaction to religion was instant dismissal, I even had a stab of that when I first learned you were religious (the particular faith never mattered to me hence religious and not Jewish specifically) some years ago. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVPrzv1M9XM COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVPrzv1M9XM&lc=UgzAF0JzG4CK7ApU9IV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250812 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @meowth900 AUTHOR_ID: UCiUmYH0eSlJFQ45-7O7IMEg TEXT: Good video analysis.

Even though the contract was "at will", the reasoning that Disney used for her firing was that her tweet, there was a tweet that was identical to the Instagram post, was "harmful" and "encouraged violence or hatred". The counter that Gina and her defense was using came down to Disney only enforcing that policy one-way, just look up the tweet about "MAGA kids go head first into the woodchipper" from one of the producers, as well as all the hateful and violent rhetoric directed towards anyone conservative that was publicly and frequently posted online by most Disney employees and producers. Her argument in the legal case was VERY solid, Disney only cares about violent and hateful rhetoric when it is oriented in certain directions. Ask a question to make a point about powerful political parties and the media that aligns with them encouraging division and hatred leading to violence? You're a Nazi. Encourage violence and death for Trump voters? Family friendly entertainment. A suit for unfair termination has serious legs under those circumstances.

He was abused as a kid, so he was getting with preteen boys when he was a teen in a group home. He went to jail at 18. Someone who was a minor himself can't be accurately described as a pedophile, even though he did abuse and he did break the law.

It was considered so unmanly for men to cook and clean for themselves that they would just live with their mothers till they got married then their wives would take over and they were never taught how to do any of it. While the toll on women is part of the eqaution, these men would often end up living in filth and unable to feed themselves when their mothers and/or wives passed on.

Feminist grifters are just as guilty as the manosphere grifters. This also reminds me of something my mother taught me years ago. If you can get enough people shouting in a crowd. The rest will join in the shout. Plus, if one is to choose a side, they will do as they are told by that side for two reasons. It is human nature. The people in question will be afraid of worse happening to them for being a traitor. I'm not going to say this is the root cause because that is trying to pick a bad guy to fight. However, the rise in misogyny seems to come from abusive women and men growing up in pain and fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering, right? Also when it is abusive fathers, the lessons the boys get from it are a factor. The abuse of male figures in my life has taught me what not to be. The abuse from women has taught me that women are not saints. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jvUYhY81lM COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jvUYhY81lM&lc=Ugw-rcs8QxJqCWXaFkx4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241104 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @GarethOfByzantium AUTHOR_ID: UC-4q_I29Dc9eQRN1CqtAVTg TEXT: I know they’re grifters, putting on a show for views, but I still find their schtick entertaining and, worse, arousing.

However I think a lot of people still focus on feminism because one of it's main stated aims is to fight the patriarchy; this SHOULD include challenging some of the 'feminine' behaviours that some deemed necessary to survive under patriarchy but more focus seems to be on telling men that their reactions are wrong rather than actually changing those behaviours so that harm isn't inflicted to begin with. The end result is that it seems that very little has changed for men to have their needs met regardless of which social paradigm is dominant; the very few at the 'top' are held up as examples to be followed to gain approval while most underneath try to emulate the standard with varying degrees of success in both achieving the standard and/or obtaining the 'reward', and the desire for complete success results in returning to the 'teacher' (in this example the grifters) for more instructions. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jvUYhY81lM COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jvUYhY81lM&lc=UgwwyCmZj6wEX35yuMZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241104 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ciscodeer9094 AUTHOR_ID: UCh5xjLeogbllhMLOUPYLPOg TEXT: I wonder what's her take on Joker from Better Bachelor? ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJWNbL__3Z8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJWNbL__3Z8&lc=UgzB7EOD6CT-ezh2NNN4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241120 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @anticarrrot AUTHOR_ID: UCaLm9p9thwVxNp6BAZff_eg TEXT: "I can't relate to the male characters in She Hulk." - Or some quotation like that from a third party.

Look, I will take even a CONTROVERSIAL storyline, (even something that upsets half the Internet) over the idea of AI Language models taking over the creative process in Gaming. I suppose I'm at that point with my mindset. I'm not sure why we even need AI in video game development. I know deep down big companies are exploiting this tech in some false pursuit to "replace talent". If Larian wants to use this they can do whatever they want. They can say yeah we will. I won't really support it. I personally do not need a video game if it means video game development like writing gets done (Assuming more worst case scenario) is done by an AI. I guess tbh, I feel like the only reason I have such a strong stance is if you accept it too much, I think it can be used as a crutch. To like, weasel their way outta not paying people. As you said, the Industry already has staff mistreatment issues. So double that with AI I don't think we need more issues. We need less. We need more people who are principled who say, "Nah, I don't believe in the tech. I don't believe in buying products with it being used in a major profound way" This might be the opinion I hold specifically. I don't speak for all Gamers. I only speak for myself as an individual. I care about writing too deeply. To where I see that too as part of a game. Because it says something about ourselves. What we find appealing, what we find interesting, what it can say about society, what it can inform us about writer mindsets, socio-political issues, so idk if all these nuances can be captured without a human hand.

Spoilers for the show! Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers, are below! ... ... ... Given that the next part of the plot from the game the show is approaching is the part where Ellie "tickles" Nora with metal pipe, I'm morbidly curious how they're gonna deal with that this time. A lot of how it went down in the game won't work this time. Nora got weakened by spores, which are no longer a factor, and Abby's friends didn't seem as aware that the immune girl that was at their base was for real. Really hope they figure out something different to do for the show. At the point Ellie met Nora in the game, she had killed at least dozens of W.L.F. and Seraphite members (including some of Abby's friends already). Currently, she's killed just one W.L.F. soldier. So the jump in violence would seem even more like a pronounced escalation. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BjM5NKiyrg COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BjM5NKiyrg&lc=UgwQaVCbrcbs0GhBHE94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250506 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @dercooney AUTHOR_ID: UCXwNe9Keuvq5glvLcA8cmeg TEXT: not sure if you watch his channel, but the critical drinker described S2 as "neil druckman's creative vision passed through the filter of actual humans". i have to wonder what your take is on that. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BjM5NKiyrg COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BjM5NKiyrg&lc=UgzAJWZ1R4D7ktoUXsJ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250506 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ntoppin2555 AUTHOR_ID: UCr0yW-5Dp2JK_XFapXcxR3w TEXT: As someone who enjoyed and prefers the games over the HBO series I can't relate with or agree with your views on season 2 but I'm glad that their are viewers and newcomers to the series that are enjoying the show and the changes made.

It's not a moral failing to enjoy media with subjects you would abhorrent in real life, because it's fiction. I thought this was well tread ground with the satanic panic of the 90's; also wanting a video gamer related piece of media to stick to the source material should be the default position, it's the only reason to make that media in the first place. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BjM5NKiyrg COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BjM5NKiyrg&lc=UgzAJWZ1R4D7ktoUXsJ4AaABAg.AHmyv6rDcPXAHpQ0GDYSEl UPLOAD DATE: 20250506 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ntoppin2555 AUTHOR_ID: UCr0yW-5Dp2JK_XFapXcxR3w TEXT:  @RedLianaK  I'm sorry if you were sensing any passive aggression or condescension from my reply. That was not my aim and I apologise. 'Appease' was probably a wrong choice of words to use and could have chosen my words better. And judging from the specific points you referenced from the game I want to make it clear that I do not endorse the violence or toxicity that was portrayed in TLOU2. Just because the game depicts dark, violent and toxic themes does not mean it or it's fans condone or celebrate it. In response to the points you referenced I believe that Dina discovered her pregnancy on day 1 or 2 of Seattle after and cabin scene with Ellie. When reflecting on Dina's character and relationships in the game I didn't perceive any biphobic stereotypes with Dina's character but can see where others could. Personally I just don't think there was intent from the writers to portray biphobic stereotypes with Dina's character. I don't understand when you mentioned 'The brutal murder of almost every person of colour in the cast'? Considering the game explores the cycles of violence and revenge I didn't sense any brutality being targeted at people of colour specifically. I felt the violence effected everyone regardless of race and ethnicity. If your referring to Abby's physique when you mentioned 'physically impossible female characters'. Then I would say I recognize that the realism of Abby's physique is debatable. I personally find it believable within the games context and don't have an issue with her build as I've always perceived her as someone who is physically fit due to regular training having access to resources and facilities from the WLF militia. While I agree the game does have dark themes of abusive relationship or toxic behavior patterns particularly between Ellie and Dina, Ellie and Joel, Abby and her crew of friends and the Seraphites WLF conflict, I believe these toxic elements were intentionally portrayed in order for the game to explore the cycles of violence, destructive nature of revenge and the effect of trauma in relationships and behaviour. And weather or not the lesbian sex scene between Ellie and Dina is 'exploitative' is subjective and depends on an individuals interpretation and perspective on the matter. I didn't feel the depiction was exploitative and found the portrayal to be a natural part of developing characters and their bond. I said I preferred the games to the tv series because I feel it offers a more immersive, impactful, and nuanced experience, with a greater emotional connection to the characters and a more faithful representation of the source material when compared to the tv series. While I acknowledge the time and pacing constraints of a TV adaptation, I feel these factors contribute to a sense of the show being rushed at times, which diminishes the impact of certain scenes and character arcs. Furthermore, the series tends to simplify the story's themes, resulting in less ambiguity and room for interpretation. I do appreciate some of the changes made like how the show has been able to explore or expand on character backstories and personal lives and I am open to see where they take the tv series. I initially said I'd hope the tv series and games universe stay separate because I think keeping them separate would allow them to be appreciated on their own merits and creative choices without the constraints of having to conform to the other. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BjM5NKiyrg COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BjM5NKiyrg&lc=UgzQDGCv2Y7mLWU4u5N4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250506 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @NekoAV1134 AUTHOR_ID: UCjwU0W1iYCCSgxgTtMCEzmA TEXT: The show is sounding a lot better than the game.

We cut back to Ellie coming to where she heard Joel was and potentially was in trouble and walks in and is Grabby and watches Abby kill Joel. The infected / clickers suddenly start breaking in and everyone has to flee. In the final confrontation Abby says "Joel was bitten, he was infected and he was starting to turn, I had to kill him."

I think it's more a case of in the show Red Dwarf the character Kryten has a "Negadrive" where any time he gets negative emotions they're stored up until eventually he just explodes, only being an android it's literal. People have reached the point where their proverbial negadrives are full due to years of smegma coming their way and need to vent somewhere so social media is a way to vent, or combat sports. There is a limit to how much people can take before they will react back. Also the concept of the squeaky wheel gets the grease and watching the proverbial "Other side" knee jerk and freak out constantly only to seemingly be catered to. Why not embrace the chaos a bit because reasoned critique is regularly dismissed or claimed to really be about something else so why hold back? I really think it's doing a dis-service to most normal women to keep saying the characters are being made to look like normal women, not to mention the actors being used to mo-cop the characters and used as face references etc. Part of the reason it goes on for months is the idea of people going "We're going to own the chuds" so trying to pour proverbial salt in the wounds and or stick something into the wound which will hurt and the thing won't heal. People are allowed to criticise without being deemed bad people by some. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnUr36qJGao COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnUr36qJGao&lc=UgydijcA6CdHjB_9RFB4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250425 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @WillTheGreatest AUTHOR_ID: UC131oZSY2YfKTm_WeBEJaIQ TEXT: So as someone who's known about the controversy from the game and is experiencing it from the show.

I'd say your version of the crone is a little dated. In the vast majority of times & places, women might have few options other than youth or beauty so you could have a cunning woman who relied on sex appeal because she didn't have any other options. That's not really true any more - these days if a young woman relies entirely on youth and beauty it's probably because that's all she's got. It's easy to think of modern "crones" who displayed ability from an early age, regardless of youth or beauty. E.g., the late Molly Ivins - striking looking in her youth but people lined up to see her in old age because she was a good writer and storyteller. There's numerous other examples. Interestingly, there's a subplot in "The Hour of the Dragon" where Conan rescues an old woman who turns out to be a witch. Which turns out to be crucial to his success at the climax of the story. Old reactionaries are the best reactionaries. Second thought - the gigchad look is actually a beta look. The men who build up and show off heroic physiques are second tier or lower on the social hierarchy. They're more beauty queens than action heroes. If you look at the top Trumpers - Trump himself, Musk, JD Vance, Tucker Carlson - none of them have heroic physiques or the gigachad look. Ironically, Bezos and Zuckerberg are signaling submission by trying to adopt the look. Miles Bron & Duke Cody in Glass Onion capture this dynamic. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnUr36qJGao COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnUr36qJGao&lc=UgzD9k0EYXwTbsYUkGB4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250425 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TheMightyPika AUTHOR_ID: UCvq0NvFrGEXJUnfB3oQ34YQ TEXT: THANK YOU.

It was when Owen told her that Mel was pregnant and her response was something along the lines of "Am I supposed to be happy for you?". I have to give it to naughty dog because in that moment I knew everything I needed to know about that character in one scene. She and Owen used to be a thing, they're not anymore and its probably because of her and she's one of those emotionally selfish people who guilt trips and takes it out on the people around her. All in one scene. And it just gets worse. How she uses and treats Mel is just prime asshole behaviour and you already see that in the show. And the game forces you to empathize with Abby and give her a pass. And in my experience people like Abby do get away with this and people end up praising them so thanks naughty dog for preparing us for that I guess. Edit: I too was looking forward to the bigot sandwich and felt kinda robbed. It's still weird to me that this deep into the apocalypse there are still people this bent out of shape about lesbians. That whole interaction felt so forced. Somewhere out there, there's a post-it with the note "we need an old white man who hates lesbians riigggghhttt when they kiss". ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnUr36qJGao COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnUr36qJGao&lc=UgwUc_PZWqb0sJMI_QZ4AaABAg.AHLKpu8j2AVAHLU3A0Y4PB UPLOAD DATE: 20250425 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @UndeadRLK AUTHOR_ID: UCr-vpEiDTHW4k73WrLDlnvQ TEXT: @rustronin Genuine question; why Would anyone stop being bigoted just cause an apocalypse happened? I mean, it's not like bigotry is enforced by ironclad logic. In fact, in both fiction, as well asin history, bigotry has been reinforced by catastrophic events instead of diminished. Normally by scapegoating the targeted group as the cause/reason something bad happened. Also, the apocalypse in The Last of Us is only 30 years old. Mr. Bigot Sandwichs would have probably been around as old as Joel was when it started. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnUr36qJGao COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnUr36qJGao&lc=UgxegOdQeoji61NUAC14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250425 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ciscodeer9094 AUTHOR_ID: UCh5xjLeogbllhMLOUPYLPOg TEXT: Yeah everyone was in shock with what happened to Joel, but most people don't play video games. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnUr36qJGao COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnUr36qJGao&lc=UgzuNd97H_uBb-6GX7h4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250425 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @kharne83 AUTHOR_ID: UC_24ME9i4A1QIlFDB_fBBJQ TEXT: The more I hear of it, the more I get the weird feeling "The Last of Us" is terrible people doing terrible things, SAYING "Doing terrible things is terrible." and then everyone expects the audience to cheer on the terrible people doing terrible things that are noted to be terrible... ...because if you note the terrible thing is terrible that makes doing it good, actually? also you were forced to shoot a dog and a guy yelled "Fido, no!" fell bad for the non-choice you didn't make. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnUr36qJGao COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnUr36qJGao&lc=UgzuNd97H_uBb-6GX7h4AaABAg.AHLH608KluBAHL_C9B_Ldp UPLOAD DATE: 20250425 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @dercooney AUTHOR_ID: UCXwNe9Keuvq5glvLcA8cmeg TEXT: that never sat well with me - force me to shoot a dog, then berate me for it? and i paid for this? ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF4o8r6gfig COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF4o8r6gfig&lc=Ugz7iMzMiPK-EFAKbgt4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250121 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @UndeadRLK AUTHOR_ID: UCr-vpEiDTHW4k73WrLDlnvQ TEXT: Fun video. For sure would like to hear what ya thought of Solas. Also, I side with Liana on Emmerich being the best pick of the three male companions, except I don't want to get in the way of Emmerich x Strife. Honestly, I've like being a wingman/match maker in RPGs more than romancing companions with my protagonist. Like Aveline in DA2 or Parvati in The Outer Worlds. Hense why I have my Rooks romance Davrin or Bellara. Which I'm fine with, cause they're both pretty good in their own rights too. HUGE SPOILERS FOR EMMRICH'S STORY BELLOW!!! ... ... ... ... ... ... ... I was more torn than I expected with Emmerich choice between Lichdom or Manfred, but honestly that's not saying much. Can't say I'd see a playthrough where I don't suggest to Emmerich to save Manfred. All the single dad jokes on Emmerich and Davrin aside, Assan and Manfred ARE their kids! Besides that though, (and I'm probably about as disappointed this dialog option isn't in the game as Liana is that ya can't make Rook an older person), I'd tell Emmerich that Lichdom wouldn't really get rid of his fear of death. Yeah, he won't really have to worry about old age, sickness, and probably plenty of major bodily harms causing his death anymore. However, throughout the dragon age world, (and several times in the games we have played through), "immortal" beings have died. Sure, it's not easy to end them, but it happens a LOT. Being a lich would push back the relatively short window of time Emmerich has to contemplate his death, but I don't think it would free him completely from his anxiety over it. Emmerich having Manfred on the other hand, gives him a growing person who in his place could take on his duties after he passes, and more importantly gives him something that, in his own words, "None would make me exchange this for anything". ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF4o8r6gfig COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF4o8r6gfig&lc=UgwM7gyS0a7URnu1ksV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250121 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Avrysatos AUTHOR_ID: UCbdjqzey2mHmSv8Z08iCmfA TEXT: How long should one wait to post screenshots that may be spoilery?

From what I played the mother was present through the entirety of the game in what she created. The motives of her creations were conflicted because she was conflicted. Aline imparted components of her personality into her creations so I would suggest caution when trying to resolve the way she sees her family with how they really are. I chose the verso ending because I think there Aline and Alicea had reached a resolution. It says it in his name that Verso is the opposite side of the coin Aline's opposite feelings. I think those feelings' desire to resolve reflected a desire to start living again. If i viewed the painted as distinct from their creators I would have chosen differently. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlNw2-6d4Eg COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlNw2-6d4Eg&lc=UgxGaQCeipOrihmJBJF4AaABAg.AJq2z6BEqYnAJqCAnjx2gk UPLOAD DATE: 20250626 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: Okay but what does this have to do with the mental health themes? ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlNw2-6d4Eg COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlNw2-6d4Eg&lc=UgxGaQCeipOrihmJBJF4AaABAg.AJq2z6BEqYnAJqH8btpntn UPLOAD DATE: 20250626 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @zyeran AUTHOR_ID: UC3qBSU3831mnOdbQ6LH2qlQ TEXT:  @RedLianaK  Ah sorry for being unclear. Hmm.. The best way I could put it is I think that the narrative is showing Aline recovering from her trauma rather than being in the throws of it. Painted as proxy. I can understand the push back against her family trying to pressure her but it is my opinion that the outreach was necessary. I also recognize the disability themes with Alicea but I think the conflict more centered around the burden of her mother's expectation and her own personal guilt. Does she keep struggling to move to a place where her family and her mother can see her or does she stay in the place where she feels seen. To make is shorter I think it is appropriate to evaluate the painted as facets of Aline's own personality and desires and disposition. Mentioning that here I wonder if that changes your estimation with regard to where the characters exist mentally and what their goals ought be?

The news articles the people saying that the sexualization is too much as tweeted by the leader of collective shout. Years ago this was coordinated. And now the head of collective Shout get a nice government foremost position in deciding what Young Australians can and cannot see. Trans exclusionary feminists are the worst. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTxaF-oFwrI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTxaF-oFwrI&lc=UgyVIJSQdWvdxW6KwwV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250805 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @THEGOOD360 AUTHOR_ID: UCT6Riycadl0O3d47BD8OwvA TEXT: I for one would rather go back to the dark ages than give the powers that be what they desire. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTxaF-oFwrI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTxaF-oFwrI&lc=Ugz3QxvG_wqCd2UaWjV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250805 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Itsnothing389 AUTHOR_ID: UCnobfU2LuXKCLGRK5qR_MSA TEXT: We need to summon 4chan they our only saviors 😔 ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTxaF-oFwrI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTxaF-oFwrI&lc=Ugwjm8zu1seepcqrBkt4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250805 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @MichaelBirks AUTHOR_ID: UCTaI2DCy7X7Nbp3ih8cHELQ TEXT: porn is why VHS won over BetaMax ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTxaF-oFwrI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTxaF-oFwrI&lc=UgyR6qIRn5KpSNjzlAd4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250805 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Tek-Man AUTHOR_ID: UCau1iuBYuH16nIyGjw7WcEw TEXT: eh, I just use the facial verification option, on a side note Unreal MetaHumans are really fun to play with :) ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTxaF-oFwrI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTxaF-oFwrI&lc=UgwAOwZ63bQGDGBXk6B4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250805 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @vivareasonandfirstamendmen8390 AUTHOR_ID: UCuBcDFmz4gC2Dpp3g1QnvrA TEXT: I really appreciate your consistent pro-freedom perspective, especially in light of recent authoritarian encroachments. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTxaF-oFwrI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTxaF-oFwrI&lc=UgwAOwZ63bQGDGBXk6B4AaABAg.ALTpaf1OLfPALU_laPJoEP UPLOAD DATE: 20250805 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: Thank you.

I'm figuring out the self love is the better thing people need. Gotta give yourself that room to create that kinda love to become more balanced.

It's upsetting to me that so much of the gender-issues content I've seen comes down to people scoring points for their team, rather than connecting with the people on the other side and trying to find common ground to build on. I've believed for a long time that the fastest way to have someone stop listening to you is to talk over them. And that's what this all feels like: People talking over each other in a desperate and escalating battle to be the person who gets to have the last word. Because when you get the last word, it feels like you've been listened to. And that's what this all comes down to. Underneath it all, I think people are desperate to be listened to and desperate to have someone care about them. The idea that society prefers/protects women is really insidious. It's easy enough to find statistics to support it. For example, in my country, 75% of homicide victims are men. The usual response to this goes along the lines of "well who's killing them?... Also men!" (as kind of a gotcha, I guess). The implication being: It's men's problem, not society's problem. Statistics like this and people's response to them create a belief in some men that "society doesn't care about men". Which then develops into "society does care about women", usually through exposure to other statistics. Such as, women live longer, women have more friends, etc. As far as I can understand, what's really happening is: Men are fucking hurting. And having a statistic to describe that hurt is as close as those men will get to emotional validation. Because they are so isolated and alone that they have no one to connect with, even if they knew how to be honest about their feelings. And very few people take men's issues seriously. The longer men live like this, more and more of them develop a visceral and hateful obsession with women and "society" in general. Becoming bitter, defensive and jaded in the process. Feminism has done a tremendous job of projecting the image of women succeeding into mainstream and social media. Something which furthers the idea that "society prefers women" But it is only an image. Underneath the propaganda, women live lives of working shitty jobs, taking verbal/physical abuse and longing for someone to care about them. Just like men. The men who believe "society prefers/protects women" can't understand how lonely, depressed and afraid normal women are every day. Because, in order to truly understand it, men would have to stop cherry picking statistics for their own emotional validation and face the reality that women are fucking hurting also . Men have real problems. Women also have real problems. It's not a competition. There are no sides. Everyone wants to be listened to. And, if we want people to care about us, then we have to care about them. *Edit: Please understand that this comment comes from a place of compassion. I'm exhausted with this topic and don't know how to explain it more gently than I have here. If you're a man reading this comment, who believes "society prefers/protects women". I understand what lead you to believe that. And, yes, there are ways where it can look that way. But you're wrong. It only looks that way because you're ignoring or even dismissing the wider picture where everything's too messed up to have a clear answer. Please care about other people's problems. We all have some common ground to find. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts91poJhwvQ COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts91poJhwvQ&lc=UgwfrQPNOAAnosCzYq14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250718 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @visaman AUTHOR_ID: UCVmzmLAWc0RMFscQCz13wFQ TEXT: Sokath, his eyes opened" ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts91poJhwvQ COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts91poJhwvQ&lc=UgwC4d0QVNMJMSIUSf54AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250718 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @mikemikeson9173 AUTHOR_ID: UCqhnTCQozT_DCYCABxYUdhw TEXT: When people say women are protected i wouldn't think people mean that they are fully protected, just that they are protected in many circumstances, such as people being more likely to intervene if they see violence against a woman, and legally there are specific targeted protections for females such as "violence against women acts".

But in all seriousness, the problem wiht normal is that there is no one size fits all standard for "normalcy". One society's standards of normal, may be completely diferent in another part of the world. And you're spot on, "normal" doesn't always mean "healthy". Because I think it's normal for me to be privy to certain Hypocracies and double standards in the world, and constantly get the sense that certain people are given alot more social allowance to act out in ways that I would be punished severly for pulling. At the same time, it's that line of thinking that will lead to my own undoing. I fully anticpate the likelihood of when it does get to the boiling point where I can't take it anymore, I would be branded a paraiah for it. It's one of the reasons why I constantly live in defense mode, where I constantly want to tell people "I've done nothing wrong, get off my case and leave me alone".(And I don't mean in that self-serving, "I refuse to admit to my wrongdoings because I never had to face any signifigant consiquences" sort of way.) Unfortunately, I don't have that level of social allowance to have that level of backbone to tell people to fork off without being met with some varation of "Where do get off on making such bold remarks you rude little boy?! Clearly, your parents never properly disciplined you, or taught you proper manners!" (Basically my equivalent of poeple accusing you of being a bad person. Which you're not.) Meanwhile, people are given free licsence to act out however they want, and the use their trauma as a cudgle and a get out of jail free card to absolve themselves of scruiteny for their actions. And no-one can call them out on it because it would be seen as "Punching down on a defensless victim".(Again, it's that sort of "Standards for thee but not for me" line of thinking is what I can't stand about this world.) And I'm just standing there going "So, it's okay for X to act however they want because they trauma dump to justify their actions, yet if I so much as breathe wrong, I get eaten alive and get constantly lectured about How I shouldn't use my Autism as an excuse for my actions?"(Which, I don't by the way, I'm just pointing out a double standard.) It's just, it gets to the point where you just want to snap and let the entire world feel the full brunt of your pent up rage(Again, it's a good thing I don't have superpowers, because there's a part of my brain that has the urge to go full Homelander or Andrew Detmer on everybody), or just getting the constant state of wanting to just withdrawl from society all together. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN5fHxFDOnk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN5fHxFDOnk&lc=UgwQQKNzZ8Bhk596_ul4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250228 COMMENT DATE: 2025-12-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @MarkedOnez AUTHOR_ID: UCEM8LqkooYj1cMDwdqv2g5Q TEXT: I love the dissident feminist approach, it shows that there's actually decent women out there. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN5fHxFDOnk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN5fHxFDOnk&lc=Ugy-ezB9vP0bT2HwRA94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250228 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @keegsmarshall6610 AUTHOR_ID: UC1swh02dEC1LZ51Chk4N2wA TEXT: Yep.

Today, you can still play Doom on the Internet. Why? Because the developers made the game open source and gave the community tools to keep the game alive. That's all SKG is asking for. To make the games industry revert back to industry standard practices from decades ago. Make online games functional after support ends via private server emulation or peer-to-peer connection. It's not complicated. Take Spec Ops: The Line for just one example. You can't buy the game online anymore. But because it has peer-to-peer connection, people who own the game can still play ALL of the multiplayer portions, even after the original company was shut down. There's no excuse for this practice except for pure greed. Game shutdowns are a form of planned obsolescence so they can sucker you into buying next years Call of Duty and all the microtransactions that come with it. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=UgwRSptSr7FJhDKmOBt4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @SuperGamer61499 AUTHOR_ID: UC69PZDMUU3FJqKGfpDkZ_-Q TEXT: I feel like trying to compare video games as a service like the Crew to like an Ice Rank very weird. And not a good comparison. Sure, in 10 years you get a "service", but we can assume if you are doing a one time purchase of $60.00 that when it's taken away from you that the customer has every right to get mad. Because even though games have always been licenses, that doesn't mean someone can rip my copy of my physical game collection. There's no pretense at an ice hockey Rink that I can stay there. Because the language is explicit and more like going to Disney World for a few days. Whereas games for decades prior to Games as a service were sold, and you had a copy of a certain game like Super Mario Bros and no one can take your copy of Super Mario Bros 1. Games as a service added more unnecessary complications to ownership imo. If the Crew is any example to go by. At some point I ask why can't in app purchases be mine to keep? If there are games like Megaman X Dive Offline that exist and lemme play that game long after it stopped being supported on Steam? I get tho, physical media does age and break. And you even bring up examples of Planned obsolescence the phone and different versions of Adobe and computers like Apple ones. But it's not really an excuse in any case for a company not at least have a good end of life plan whilst not needing to be responsible for that game anymore after they're done supporting it. And imo, that shouldn't be legal. Planned obsolescence is a very questionable business move period the way I see. At least with floppy disks you can back it up. With old EULAs for games, you can make digital copies. Yes, games may not have Windows compatibility long into the future, but there are work arounds. Fan patches exist. And GoG sells and re release old computer games whenever possible. It's about the most ideal you can get to making that purchase work on a modern computer. Plus, Dosbox and older Virtual Machines are a decent alternative if all else fails for stuff like King's Quest or Balder's Gate 1. License stuff I get is tricky, but my answer is simple. Maybe games like the Crew or Forza or any racing type game or whatever can't use licenses of other brands if, it's fair to assume the one time purchase of $60.00 is involved. If I can't play the game I purchased at full price then Idc of the excuses of a corporate executive at Ubisoft says. These can be a thing we don't really need for the sake of a game being available past the point of being supported. I see it as not necessary. Plus, we don't want games to be supported forever. If you wanna stop supporting WoW after a certain point that's fine. Even Ross himself if you watch the FAQ video or the thousands of videos about the topic like from Louis Rossman none of us want an unfair solution where companies should support games indefinitely. It's fine to stop supporting games, what's not fine is trying to say there is no potential work arounds to fixing that. Even a private server approximate (IE, maybe it's not as it once was for an MMO) is fine. Or, reverse engineering the game so it can function without offline. Games as a Service is a Fraud is another video I recommend by Ross of the Iniative. But also, while there are gonna be some complications going to the EU and some stuff may require different solutions for being able to play after the Sun Set date, it's understandable to get Government intervention when companies are extremely hostile and MAY & WILL terminate your access to your own games at any point. (See examples like Blizzard doing that with one of their EULA) While government intervention is not always the answer, very few, choices are left to us legally. I mean imagine trying to play a game you love and getting hit by a Cease & Desist like Toon Town or Club Penguin or Wildstar or whatever. It's a crap shoot. But, if companies have End of Life plans considered games can preserved by fans. And nowhere does a company have to stop making profit from doing those types of games. Developers will not stop making Games as a Service. And I really doubt all devs if this does get passed will stop supporting the whole European region just to avoid an Iniative. That sounds really silly to me. It's like if I avoided making money with China. Ultimately, there's a lot I disagree with you on the video. I gave ya a shot and heard ya out. And ultimately, it's just not a conclusion I personally see. Don't see it as an attack, I'm just not in agreement and I hope you understand where I was coming from. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=UgwRSptSr7FJhDKmOBt4AaABAg.AK_DmQ4ToLbAK_ELXBfq92 UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @SuperGamer61499 AUTHOR_ID: UC69PZDMUU3FJqKGfpDkZ_-Q TEXT: I also recommend the video "This Developer Proves Pirate Wrong" as he gave many solutions for specific instances of like, potential server approximations if a game were to be off on Sun Set and stopped being supported. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=Ugxe42BfJSgSyH58nMh4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ArveEriksson AUTHOR_ID: UCf5jIB7FhINssSYNIndlbsw TEXT: Hm...

My biggest worry is that because many of the single player games u have to be online to play like eldin ring the serves can be shut down and that's not really ment to be multiplayer. I am worried the single player games will be effected and no type of game will be safe from shut down. I really believe there should be a way where if u purchase a game even digital that u own the game that u purchase. If things keep going the way that they are I don't really see a very health relationship between the customer and the company's that produce the games that we all want in the future. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=Ugx0iIyLORpl_vv0NIR4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TK_zerrivet AUTHOR_ID: UCA6LnTTp_cnU3aHY3DM4sUQ TEXT: It's sad to read your updated description.

The bargain is that the authors are good stewards of their works maintaining and expending them and in return we grant them an exclusive right so they can profit. For the social bargain to hold the authors should therefore support the games as long as they have copyright which is to say, for 95 years. Which sounds patently absurd but is a real indicator of how broken the system is. At the same time, not requiring the author to either support the game for the entire duration or add the game to the public domain would result in the disappearance of works, which is directly against the stated purpose of copyright. Also, to do an attempt at giving a definition: The goal of stop killing games in one sentence is to preserve games as an art form and cultural-historical touchstone by requiring companies to remove dependence on the company before ending support. It is a petition to form a workgroup to discuss possible legal remedy which is why so many details are still up in the air. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=UgwqLw2Icd1H2UxrC5d4AaABAg.AKLqS7fvy0RAKM1LjMVZRN UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @pvprangergod4024 AUTHOR_ID: UCuKriIfGIFY0Vj_i28eReRA TEXT: owning IP has never meant you have to preserve it. and the entire point of having laws like IP is to protect people from issues like monopolies in the first place. there also is zero way you can 'remove dependence' because plenty of dead games end up being revived by the same company or sold to another. and you would just be hurting the games by removing that potential. good ideas but not realistic and you probably should learn more about IP. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=UgwqLw2Icd1H2UxrC5d4AaABAg.AKLqS7fvy0RAKOjLbGhKmn UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @SenorZorros AUTHOR_ID: UC53ezeQUMdon7MHn2cuRNQA TEXT:  @pvprangergod4024  When copyright laws were written the assumption was that the copies didn't come with a remote detonator.

There is nothing stopping the company from restarting the servers or publishing a remaster. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=UgwqLw2Icd1H2UxrC5d4AaABAg.AKLqS7fvy0RAKOkpL3njRW UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @pvprangergod4024 AUTHOR_ID: UCuKriIfGIFY0Vj_i28eReRA TEXT:  @SenorZorros  IP doesn't create monopolies, it prevents them. you should study what already exists before thinking u have solutions. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=UgwqLw2Icd1H2UxrC5d4AaABAg.AKLqS7fvy0RAKPQQ2yrfzz UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @SenorZorros AUTHOR_ID: UC53ezeQUMdon7MHn2cuRNQA TEXT:  @pvprangergod4024  It by definition grants the holder an exclusive right that is to say, the right to exclude everyone else from using it.

I went in summer 2006 and immediately found it still in Christmas season knowing service updates will end. Once Xbox Live went down, the game as a whole was inaccessible. I had a Dreamcast then and could play it that way, saw the Gamecube version was a very expensive option, but the Xbox version showed what happens to a pure service game. From then on, I knew every service game had a shelf life and what I was paying for was more like a concert than a record. That’s usually not my thing, so I don’t pay full price and when I do “buy” a service game, I do so knowing I won’t be able to play it when it’s as old as my copy as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the Gameboy. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=Ugz0eRcVpc6jsIrUJ-14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @MrQuantumInc AUTHOR_ID: UC9zPdyWuh_TJcFQ24M-uuNQ TEXT: 1. I don't think they want to pay once and have access forever. They don't mind paying again if it is reasonable, but sometimes the game isn't available at all Partly it is because companies have the old code but refuse to release it at all, they specifically want you to buy the new stuff. 2. This doesn't have to put any direct burden on the developer nor publisher at all. It could simply set up a way for a third part to take over maintenance of the software, including compatibility updates and running a server. If the original owner doesn't want to do it, they should be forced to let somebody else do it. 3. On the other hand points 1 and 2 might be moot because a lot of the people in favor are indeed being emotional and refusing to listen to reason. I haven't followed it closely, but another video mentioned that it really blew up when Youtuber Pirate Games offered some similar criticisms, and the comment section proved that people were more concerned with Pirate's moral character than the actual initiative. Questioning it makes you a corporate stooge, and apparently every publisher is EA. There is a very real possibility that the whole thing will fail because too many of the supporters are being dingbats. Either the movement will fail to get its act together because people are focusing on the wrong thing, or their behavior will ruin any potential bill's reputation. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=Ugz0eRcVpc6jsIrUJ-14AaABAg.AKLDWRuVHQpAKLHvD1yduo UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @pvprangergod4024 AUTHOR_ID: UCuKriIfGIFY0Vj_i28eReRA TEXT: "they should be forced" and thats where you lost all of western civilisation. try giving that idea to a 3rd world dictatorship, they will be more willing to listen. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=UgxqnFBzE9lPVyuEWaR4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @pvprangergod4024 AUTHOR_ID: UCuKriIfGIFY0Vj_i28eReRA TEXT: if you paid for a game client, thats what you get. if you didn't pay for server files or an offline mode, you don't get any. its that simple.

Very informative and interesting as always. Ok. I haven't done AAAAAALLLLLL the required reading on the subject, but I was around when SKG launched initially. To me, the idea is simple. Game companies tell the players: here's a game you can BUY. Enjoy it. Player buys the game. Let's suppose it doesn't do well. 3 months to a year later, game company says: yeah... that game you "bought"? You can't play it anymore. Thanks for your legal tender. To me, the ability to play a game 10 years later or whatever, while I agree with it, is a snowflake in the "hell" of late stage capitalism. It's never going to be backed by the corporations. For example. Let's say I have an old SNES that still works, a copy of the orginal mario kart and start it up. Nintendo would much prefer if I bought a wii, bought mario kart on the virtual console and played that. And now that the wii is "gone" they would prefer I do the same for whatever other system the original mario kart is released for. The only reason I can still dust off the SNES and do that is because I have working HARDWARE they don't have access to shutting down or taking away. (I'll let you know how it goes fighting off the nintendo ninjas now that I've announced I have this hardware ). The whole voting with your wallet is valid. There are 2 problems with this approach. It requires clear and educated purchase information. Companies try to obfuscate and trick players out of as much money as they can. This also becomes a barrier to entry for new players. Most of us here know what games were like back in the day and get what it's like to own something. Secondly, new "gamers" won't know unless we are willing to teach them. Ultimately corporations don't really care what us stubborn old timers want. They want the easy money from easily opened wallets and to make newcomers think the status quo is how things just are. That way they have even deeper depths of money millking to enjoy. The other thing that I think is core to this is it would be nice if we could just get clear labeling about what our money is going towards. Is my 90 cad$ buying me temporary access to a game? A permanent physical copy? Is it just an entry fee? How long is the shortest liscence that means the game will be shut down? Finally, the truth of the matrer is that even if its an online only game that has been shut down, the request isnt for support in perpetuity. To use Liana's windows alegory: MS isn't kicking down her door and forcibly uninstalling windows. They are saying, "You can keep using windows ME at your own risk" It would be nice if we had the same options with games. "Hey, the crew is losing its liscence to X, so we have to shut down the servers. Here is the stuff you need to run a server. You take on all risks and costs of doing so." Players have already been doing that for years. But it all comes back to being able to charge for the same product more than once if the corporations can. I do think it's very interesting to think this all came about due to piracy. I have seen lots of opinions that if a person can't own something, then there is no such thing as pirating it. I endorse the chaotic evil energy of that, but not the act 😅 At least that's my take. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=Ugw6D4ipW8rKbef-0Ex4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @daemianson2evil AUTHOR_ID: UCgSYPg9iB-q7y2hpJGOgtcA TEXT: I have retracted my comments as they were rude, bullying, condescending and not accurate.

The solution in my eyes is leave it in the hands of users. The best example I can think of is Blur, a critically-acclaimed arcade racer that was an abject commercial flop and was pulled from Steam a mere 5 years after release. Those who played it have nothing but fond memories of the game, and fans have spent god-knows how long implementing a means of getting the multiplayer back up and running. Activision could shut them down at any point and would be within their legal right to do so, but the SKG initiative is trying to ensure that they don't. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=Ugx-8i4G_aeAJOmNNrh4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @saimiri.

I’d welcome the rest, but I’m not counting on them. I can't speak for every supporter, but most don’t expect the whole industry to bend to every demand or wish at all. When it comes to the license issue, the idea with the end-of-life patches is that any licensed material is stripped out. Either replaced with something low effort or completely bare. An incomplete game missing audio or assets is still preferable over scattered fragments somewhere in a temporary museum exhibit, because it happens to fit the story.

From watching this, and having watched a couple of the Stop Killing Games videos, I’d say that you’ve been misinformed on what SKG is. The elevator pitch for SKG is (to my understanding) “to force companies to make an ‘end of life plan’ for games that have an online portion (as they’ve shown that they can’t be trusted to do it without legislation), whether that’s allowing fan servers, peer to peer connections, allowing the game to no longer require an online connection, or something else that is applicable for the game”. That probably doesn’t cover all of the nuances of SKG but that’s the core aspect of it. It’s not to force companies to support live service games forever, just not design ones that can be taken away from players for no reason other than “We aren’t making enough money off of you”. Also it’s less like paying for rink time and more like paying for a TV with a built in streaming service and when the service provider kills the streaming service the HDMI ports on the TV stop working so you can’t use the TV at all even though there wasn’t anything wrong with it. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=UgyprecZe40rlPzgZZl4AaABAg.AKKNhb2-K7GAKKV_GSFRz9 UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: Note the part where I said that a big problem with this is that the supporters of the initiative can't explain what it is.

It's probably easy for someone coming into it now to get mixed messages because they've heard details from someone who heard it from a creator responding to the misinterpretation, so we are at least 2-3 layers deep from the original source. My explanation of SKG was my understanding of it from first hearing about it back in April 2024, before all of the drama, while I don't remember all of the minutiae of SKG that was the core of it. I don't know what lengthy videos people are sending you, I would have thought that the only relevant video would be the original one that Ross made, which is just over 31 minutes long (and the start of that is now irrelevant because it was about The Crew), and the main point from that is at 12:39 where he stats the point of the petition, which is "nothing changes while the game is being supported, and when support ends - Games sold must be left in a functional state. - Games sold must require no further connection to the publisher or affiliated parties to function. - The above also applies to games that have sold microtransactions to customers. - the above cannot be superseded by end user license agreements. Sorry to hear you are getting review bombed. While I did dislike this video, it was just to indicate that some of the points that you've said in this video aren't relevant to the things SKG is trying to achieve. Though that sounds like that's because of the mixed information you've picked up about SKG. (I don't know if that's how others use Dislikes, that's just how I've always used them). Anyway, This comment has gone on for a while and I am so slow at organising my thoughts.

I hope my comments (not necessarily critiques) don't sound too negative. If they do, please know that I was responding in a good mood and no ill intent. I think it's really good that you think about it critically, because that is how we hone our positions. 9:20 No this is beautiful. So what SKG are looking to do is to change the law. If it's a legal thing then that's perfect. (Also Ubisoft is telling gamers to destroy their physical copies when they stop supporting a game: “You and Ubisoft (or its licensors) may terminate this EULA, at any time, for any reason… Upon termination for any reason, You must immediately uninstall the Product and destroy all copies of the Product in Your possession.” They do catch a lot of flak, but they also deserve catching a lot of flak.) That games were sold as GAAS is not a problem. Because those are past games. 10:20 Licenses that run out are not a problem for old games. Or for movies, or music. So I don't really know what has changed to make them a problem now. (Come back to it later.) 11:00 The Crew offered 3 months of play for some. Depending on when you buy it. But it could have been 0 months, right? They can terminate these things for any reason almost, currently. I think that's bad. (I actually bought DLC for Hearthstone that I never got to play. Because Blizzard 'rotated out' the singleplayer portion before I could play it.) Law in the EU implies that reasonable notice should be given before terminating service. It's very vague. SKG probably wants that to turn into a clear legal requirement. 12:30 EULA's don't mean much in the EU. You can have EULA's say all sorts of things but if it's against the law it's against the law. So we can do something about that. 14:18 No. People would say that because they paid money for that. It's a GAAS but that doesn't excuse deleting it. It's not so much expectation but principles. With the bar analogy: If people paid to play darts at the pub, and it was easy to keep there, but they decided to no longer support it, then I think you'd also see complaints about that. In a pub it would cost valuable space. SKG is not asking for that. 16:40 Yes Adobe is widely hated for their license practices. So if we can do something about that, it would be great. 18:20 SKG has said that they don't require publishers/developers to pay exorbitant costs for keeping a game alive. As they said, the community will probably happily do so. That said, space is cheap and torrents exist. 19:00 Physical deterioration is part of physical reality, and something that people tend to excuse. But if that's not a factor... and today with games it isn't much of a factor, then that excuse doesn't really work. 21:00 So what we see is game sales are going down. Game sales could go down a lot more if they don't get more friendly with the consumers. If money is a factor, we'll see. The PR so far has been notoriously bad at handling upset consumers. ("If you don't want it don't buy it!") 23:00 No. Those games are not singled out. It goes for all games. 23:45 So that's not what SKG is asking for. Because that would be totally unreasonable. But did they plan for anything when they're done supporting the game? No. That's a problem. 24:30 Yes planned obsolescence is a thing that I believe consumers are generally unhappy about. And if it's legal, that can be changed. 25:30 So again, the physical reality of things breaking down don't apply so easily to games. So let's say it like this: If a dishwasher could easily last forever, but a company made it so that it would break every 5 years, then that should be illegal in my point of view. 26:00 SKG is not asking for the publishers or developers to maintain servers indefinitely. 27:10 No so user license agreements don't mean much in the EU. AFAIK the judges will actually presume that those agreements were never read, and they were not presented to the customer when purchasing the game. Only after purchasing the game. 31:20 Yeah I agree with that. It needs to be worked out what constitutes enough effort to ensure people can still sort of play a game after sunsetting it. Does that mean it needs to run on every platform? I don't think it's expected for the games to be patched beyond the moment of sunsetting them. It will probably be up to the community to figure out how to run them after. 33:00 I also do this and think this is a great way to go about it. 34:00 I don't think that matters. Because that's what people want to change. SKG is not making the case that buying a game means you own it forever. But SKG wants there to be more thought put into making it so. Because right now there is hardly consumer protection in place. 35:00 Clarity of EULA is not the problem. EULA's state pretty clearly that you have no rights essentially and they can do whatever. Updating EULA is not going to help their case or hurt their case. 36:20 This is a good one, the repercussions. SKG does not state proposed repercussions. The EU consumer protection can be pretty impactful. We'll have to see. 37:50 This is a very interesting thing that I also don't know enough about. The timed licenses. Because this isn't a problem with old games. Or board games. Or books. Or movies. But for modern games, somehow, they license things for a few years and then run into problems. That is bizarre and honestly, I suspect it's to save a couple bucks and that this is going to change if SKG is successful. If it would save that much money, how on Earth did they get licenses into perpetuity for movies and old games? Something there does not add up. 39:00 The hockey analogy doesn't work that well because in this case we are kind of talking about them shutting down hockey as a game. 40:20 The way I see it, artists ARE going to get screwed no matter what. 44:00 Actually I don't think Stellar Blade, Wukong, Returnal, FF7:Rebirth or Legend of Zelda have online components and they have done well to remarkably well. FF VII Rebirth was new platform exclusive at launch which didn't help. There's hope for single player. 48:00 Actually companies have often been compelled by law to spend money on things. So that's totally possible. I think overall, you approached it almost like a lawsuit. Or that's the impression I got. But it isn't a lawsuit. The question isn't what the law says or what the law allows for, or if players got their value out of a game. (At least not entirely.) The question is what the law should say. We'll see if it backfires. I have some trust in EU consumer protection. But who knows? Either way it will be interesting. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=Ugxn1cJB16qtna5YdpN4AaABAg.AKKLjsWJht8AKKR9Kc8MEa UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @VolkColopatrion AUTHOR_ID: UCOVN03HyGARIHShN_n2vbbA TEXT: From your first point, you are dangerous.

Didn't finish the whole video yet, but wanted to comment here. Your response comes across as a bit knee-jerky. From what I've seen so far it looks You were brought into this topic from the side of things that went bonkers, and this pre-charged You somewhat against the SKG. You should really check the Ross' FAQs or his original announcement video. The whole backlash, threats and so on are not really SKG-thing, it's the Internet-thing. The initiative as designed is at the same time broader and narrower in scope than is being reported in second-hand sources. Taking WoW as an example, SKG has a clear answer - it would not be the subject of proposed legal change for 2 reasons: 1. The theoretical proposed legislation is explicitly said to not be retroactive, meaning no existing product should be affected. And knowing governments in EU, would not be affected at least for 3-5 years even in the worst case. 2. This part is missed by almost every commentator. Subscription-model games are not the target of SKG! If you explicitly buy 30-day access to an MMO - you buy access to a service with clearly stated duration of the service. So SKG's proposal doesn't apply at all! Same for any other live service game - is enough to make the game not a single purchase but an annual 30-dollar subscription - that's it. If you listen to the organizer, it's clear the initiative was thought not as the one-size-fits-all solution, but as a first step legislation in the direction of game preservation. Under how is proposed now, publishers will have plenty of room to change the development, microtransaction environment, tools, EULAs, marketing and product labeling. That's why the commo criticism of "they want games to stay online forever" sound really misinformed or misleading. For me personally is painful to see this current toxicity. While there was no drama, the initiative had stable, but silent and low-key low-energy support. Now the drama blew the lid of, put the spotlight on the inactivate and it's critics. With how things are going now, SKG has a good chance to stay in public memory as GG ver 2025 and become a case study on how really reasonable initiative turned into shit-show due to drama and emotions on the Internet.... ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=UgwV7XHpo-DZWCJrPYN4AaABAg.AKJxNXhaa4lAKK35399J5d UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TK_zerrivet AUTHOR_ID: UCA6LnTTp_cnU3aHY3DM4sUQ TEXT:  @RedLianaK  Yes, it is Ross Scott's YouTube channel, the one who started SKG.

He comes from a place of deep appreciation for games, and SKG is his attempt to fight for the preservation of these cultural artifacts and to prevent the practice of "digital book burning." ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=UgwV7XHpo-DZWCJrPYN4AaABAg.AKJxNXhaa4lAKK5cpF4VTY UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @VolkColopatrion AUTHOR_ID: UCOVN03HyGARIHShN_n2vbbA TEXT: ​@TK_zerrivet roscott said that they were attacked when video games europe... criticize them slightly... https://youtube.com/shorts/RAaomGvm36Y?si=8uBpoIkBRd8VYYIl ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=UgwV7XHpo-DZWCJrPYN4AaABAg.AKJxNXhaa4lAKK8awiXZL7 UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @VolkColopatrion AUTHOR_ID: UCOVN03HyGARIHShN_n2vbbA TEXT: ​ i have never seen someone be so dishonest.Liana k is absolutely correct and that she shouldn't doubt Right in the first line, the first paragraph, there are problems ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=UgwV7XHpo-DZWCJrPYN4AaABAg.AKJxNXhaa4lAKK9LbkW7gl UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @VolkColopatrion AUTHOR_ID: UCOVN03HyGARIHShN_n2vbbA TEXT: ' we investigated ourselves and did nothing wrong' when there's a lot of things wrong and when someone pointed that out, you have been attacking them.

I don't normally comment on videos because of a lot of shit in the comments. I would highly suggest watching the video Ross od Accursed farms video, or email him to get a clearer picture on this. The movement clearly does not want publishers to keep games up indefinitely but want an end of life plan at least... or at least let us know when games are being planned to be shut down at the very least. Also, keep in mind courts and governments work differently in the EU compared to North America. While I agree that things break, data is forever. Games are culturally important, and I feel that they need to be preserved. As for old WoW it is already preserved as people have already figured out to have private servers per expansion basically. The movement is about having an end of life plan, not keeping servers on indefinitely, and its not only about live service games. Ross makes this abundantly clearin his video. Vote with your wallet rarely works in my opinion since most people don't. I haven't ever bought a microtransaction, but that hasn't changed anything. Ross has tried to get this movement going for about 10 years, has gotten advice from government experts and lawyers from several countries and i think he has really good ideas on fighting this. It really seems like you have misunderstood the movement, this comes with love, i think you got a lot of good points here, but this is not what the movements point. I would prefer single player focused games too ❤ ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=UgxBN0jD5J3mJ6edk7p4AaABAg.AKJsud7PLNlAKJt68TPgVn UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Zarmymanman AUTHOR_ID: UC5R8cvqQnabElPHNBqFXSqQ TEXT: Sorry for typos my phone is shit...

It was basicly a Singleplayer game with Multiplayer functionality after the shutdown there was no singleplayer game anymore and there removed the game from the Librarys of the Buyers The Problem is not Free2Play in itself the moment you buy a Good(Game,Skin,…) without Stated Expiration date are the Problem, in the EULA is a Exporation state noted but that is not visible when you Buy a Licence. A TV has a implied exporation and that is the Physical detoration and that is known, a Software has something similar when the Platform does not work anymore. The Revoking of the Licence for any or NO reason can be aganst a current EU Law and this Initative want a clear ruling if everything is covers by current law or if there can be new laws that allows EOL Games to exist after the Publischer and Developer has Stopped the Support. 34:06 when you buy a game in 1990 (as a Licence) you have a Good that you can access to this day when you have a access to a DOS Emulator and you have a Working Backup of that Game, there are today Gamers that play the Original Sims on there hardware on Windows where there patched the Game to run on Windows 10 we can not do that with "The Crew" since it was Deleted from Libraries. 38:01 Thats was not the case in 1990 the music in the Game today, but when there want to Remove music from a Game remove the music but let it be playable. When you licenced a Carmodel only for 10 Years replace it with a Differnt Model so that you are not screwing over the Players. 39:31 Yes let me build my own arena after you shutdown your Arena 41:49 You can use all versions of Windows when you have a Licence TODAY there only do not get updates anymore that is the definition of Software EOL you are not Forced to Update and there do not Destroy every Copy you own or that is Currently running on your PC I hope any Clarificarion / Law change that is the Result in a change in the Industry ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=Ugw8HIkf8YVTO850Qgd4AaABAg.AKJsOAOI6n5AKM8cNnfoU4 UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @daemianson2evil AUTHOR_ID: UCgSYPg9iB-q7y2hpJGOgtcA TEXT: Yep exactly ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=UgxF-quKFJlZYLtClbh4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @yakyuk6621 AUTHOR_ID: UCeblqtbyfbjswheG0w6uZqg TEXT: The petition is meant to start a conversation about the issue of live service and the publishers ability to take away what you buy on whatever reasons they wish. We are discussing nitty gritty details even tho things arent even close to law. Yes companies and publishers should be scared. Literally no one who has read the petition and saw Ross's videos and thinks they should not make things as a service. The discussion should start from telling users up front in bold letters : hey fuckead, we reserve the right to take away your experience/game at any point for whatever reason and you have no recourse to this. After that we see how the public reacts to the bs marketing when they cant lie as they breathe. Refunds are good but doubt the likes of ubislop and others will ever agree to that on mass. Again, no one is asking for perpetuity from the publishers/devs. Example : OG Alan wake got taken off the stores bcs of music licensing. Steam still lets you keep your copy. Funny how that worked. (and yes, steam is still a license, they updated their terms) Maybe this is the shock that all digital media/ownership laws need to become actually fair twoards the consumer not just the corpos and their cronies :) ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=UgxF-quKFJlZYLtClbh4AaABAg.AKJs0Ih63OUAKLGs0OpjL_ UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @pvprangergod4024 AUTHOR_ID: UCuKriIfGIFY0Vj_i28eReRA TEXT: they aren't taking away anything. you paid for a game client. you never paid for private server files or an offline mode, so you aren't entitled to any. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=UgxF-quKFJlZYLtClbh4AaABAg.AKJs0Ih63OUAKMfJE3gjyl UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @yakyuk6621 AUTHOR_ID: UCeblqtbyfbjswheG0w6uZqg TEXT:  @pvprangergod4024  That is fair.

But it seems you are reading more into the iniative and what it is asking for than it actually is, for one part, it is not retroactive so they are not asking for any current games to do massive overhauls to be able to fit a mold of possible new laws, but rather for new games to have this in mind as they are making. To quote from the stop killing games site the three points they are aiming to bring up "Require video games sold to remain in a working state when support ends. Require no connections to the publisher after support ends. Not interfere with any business practices while a game is still being supported." The point is for people to be able to play a game they buy, no matter what a publisher thinks. will it be the exact same experience as it was back then? no, but at least in a reasonably functional state. Taking wow as an example as that is what you mention as I'm writing, that could just be allowing private servers to exist and the "problem" is solved. For a lot of other games with multiplayer components this issue was solved a long time ago and has been built away since, but I can almost guarantee that every game with multiplayer components have internal local hosting at the dev side, just put a version of these out along with the last patch of the game and it is once again sorted. Sure there is some work and it might mean that COD Modern warfare 42 will take some revenue away from COD modern warfare 43, but it is really odd that companies gets to tell us what games (that we have paid for) we are allowed to and not allowed to continue playing. And in the ice skating reference I would say that you pay for the ice skates, if the rink closes down you should be able to take your skates and go to a lake or make a rink in your backyard. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=UgxstyyZmeIQ4wiqPo14AaABAg.AKJpUGCO2QgAKM8njmBEsZ UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @daemianson2evil AUTHOR_ID: UCgSYPg9iB-q7y2hpJGOgtcA TEXT: Yep ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=UgxstyyZmeIQ4wiqPo14AaABAg.AKJpUGCO2QgAKKPH2U_0vv UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @VolkColopatrion AUTHOR_ID: UCOVN03HyGARIHShN_n2vbbA TEXT: You just really are not listening or engaging with what what Liana K says.

To start off with, SKG is not a law proposal, it is a starting point for seeing an issue and wanting a change to the issue at hand, so ofcourse it is vague. And there is no "forcing the government", the government exists by the people for the people, so if the people speaks up it's reasonable for the governemnt to act upon it. I also do not wish to put aside or ignore what Liana is saying, just trying to adress some of the talking points where from my point of view she was a bit too much in today and not as much in what could be, but would not ever want to be rude to her. You also ask for me to define the first part, a game should have plans for what happens at the end of support to ensure it is in some way a functional product. if we take the DVD as she mentions as an example. Me lacking a DVD player does not mean that the movie is gone, just harder to access but for as long as I want to I can still play that DVD movie which is not the case with games with online requirements today. I will also be very frank and leave the specifics to smarter people than me, and it's not the SKG people either who would propose the text of the eventual laws either. The harassment is very unfortunate I agree that is awful, but to paint the iniative by what a small angry group does is not fair either. Anyway, I'm off to bed so if you reply again it will be quite a while before I see it but I do wish you a very good night. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=UgxstyyZmeIQ4wiqPo14AaABAg.AKJpUGCO2QgAKPLtllySfR UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Jedi_Mind_ AUTHOR_ID: UC83ulxW9dL8skopC_ApIjvA TEXT: “wow jesus you went on a several message rant.....” 😅😅😅🤣🤣😂😂 He sure did, like wtf 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤭🤔 ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8wXW934HY&lc=UgxstyyZmeIQ4wiqPo14AaABAg.AKJpUGCO2QgAKKMffGFzFY UPLOAD DATE: 20250708 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @VolkColopatrion AUTHOR_ID: UCOVN03HyGARIHShN_n2vbbA TEXT: It doesn't matter if it's not retroactive.That's not the point.

Terry Sloan, Mr. Terrific (I), was a white dude, and Michael Holt, Mr. Terrific (II), is black. They are two different people utilizing the same title. Like when Frank Castle was Captain America, or Jean-Paul Valley was Batman. A "race swap," as I have always seen it applied, is the changing of the race or ethnicity of a specific person, usually from one medium to another. Like Nick Fury in the Ultimate Marvel universe, Heimdall in the MCU, or any ginger character ever (does Starfire count? I'm not sure...). Saying that Mr. Terrific is a race swap character is like saying that John Stewart is a race swap character because he is a black Green Lantern, and the previous GLs from Earth were white. It doesn't seem to fit the definition as applied everywhere else. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxO-4ArtRgU COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxO-4ArtRgU&lc=UgzgfPFZAZ9rBffS_wx4AaABAg.AKb4v_ugHZVAKbTIpZbTNE UPLOAD DATE: 20250715 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: You're taking something I said to guard against people saying "This movie is woke because they race swapped Mr Terrific" and making it into more than it is. When Jane Foster was Thor, they HOWLED that it was a gender swap, even though they were different characters, just both named Thor. People claim Miles Morales is a race swapped Spider-Man, that Carrie Kelley is a gender-swapped Robin. I do not make these rules, and I agree that they shift. It's just undeniable that there was far less freaking out over Kyle Rayner taking over for Hal Jordan than John Steward being the Green Lantern in the JL cartoon, or Riri Williams being Ironheart instead of Tony Stark being Iron Man... or Peggy Carter being Captain BRITAIN in a What If episode. Even when they are clearly different people, a certain class of people howls with pain and rage that the original White male character was not the one chosen for a film. Again, I don't make these rules.

Comic books lend themselves to animated TV shows. Generally speaking, TV shows are for the masses although once in a while you'll have a show like The Sopranos or Breaking Bad. But more often than not, movies lend themselves to masterpieces because they are self-contained and don't have to rely on the same crutches serialized storytelling does. Why do people feel like Superman is a good movie? Because it made them laugh and Gunn rather lazily created conflict by turning Superman's parents evil. I think people are more excited that this movie will lead to a Supergirl movie, a Clayface movie, a Green Lantern TV show, etc. It's not a masterpiece, but it's like being at a theme park and finishing the Superman ride to get on the Supergirl ride. It's okay to like average/mid movies. I enjoyed Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, like Zombie Strange fighting the Scarlet Witch or the Siege of Kamar Taj. But the man who wrote the script for the Donner Superman films also wrote the book "The Godfather" and some delusional people are saying it's up there with Donner's Superman. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxO-4ArtRgU COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxO-4ArtRgU&lc=UgyIXwJb3aJ4P5ZTcAp4AaABAg.AKax8Qb2TAZAKgaWQ8iTBJ UPLOAD DATE: 20250715 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @aozf05 AUTHOR_ID: UCqgCI4ATivS2EaY_rFiXNVw TEXT: ​​ @aesop1451  lol what? This did not feel like an episode of a tv show. Even the tv shows arent really that much like the comics so I'm doubtful you've read much. People feel like this Superman is a good movie because it hits all the marks of what good movies do: told a well structured story, logically consistent, good world building and characterization, good villain, good motivations, strong central theme, good music score, some emotionally resonant moments, and an ending that tied everything up well. The set up for future projects is just a cherry on top and not even the main point of the movie. It's not the thing most fans are talking about either. Ironically, all your criticisms apply way more to the MCU than this movie because every movie is just an ad for the next and most of them are mediocre in every category and don't have a larger theme they're trying to convey. And they've long had issues of poorly written villains, unmemorable soundtracks, inconsistent characterization, poorly conceived bait and switch plot twists, and a complete lack of sincerity. Also, Clark's birth parents wanting him to conquer earth is not a brand new idea. Even that has been done before. But it was used here to great effect to underscore that it doesn't matter what your parents intend for you. That doesn't make you who you are. It's your choices. The whole point of it was Clark chose to do good and believe the message was telling him to do so because deep down he's a good person. This was a solidly good movie. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxO-4ArtRgU COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxO-4ArtRgU&lc=UgxI-ThwlHRSNVZi6hd4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250715 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @furynotes AUTHOR_ID: UCegwvPFeBDyGtNZl4nO-moA TEXT: I really do get annoyed by current critics talking about super man as if they are lost.

There's definitely a sexual dichotomy among men, but it has been changing. Over the course of the 20th century respect and dignity has shifted from the man who stays a virgin until marriage to the man who sleeps around. A lot of gender stereotypes just seem to be assuming that men and women are opposites. In the 19th century they often thought of women as not wanting sex at all, or at least never pursuing it. As premarital sex became more acceptable it was assumed that men were constantly pursuing sex, and that if you actually got it that proved something. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl-KIpAUq4I COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl-KIpAUq4I&lc=UgxlSZMTKPmkjNihYkp4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250530 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: I'm just listening today.

Not to mention that it scapegoats men who are marginalized by patriarchy for misogyny, when the worst misogyny is typically inflicted by men who are higher up on the patriarchal ladder, such as domestic and sexual violence being rampant among police and military men as well as celebrities, athletes, politicians, etc. I also just don't believe that line because of how Joker was panned as an "incel movie" despite the fact that Arthur Fleck, problematic though he is, doesn't come across as a misogynist and the opinions he expresses are, if anything, pretty damn "woke." After all he bemoans first and foremost the way that the poor and marginalized are treated like garbage, how their lives don't matter to the system, and the first people he shoots are a bunch of Wall Street d-bags who attacked him after he interrupted their sexual harassment of a woman on a subway. The only way that Fleck is an "incel" is that he's at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder, and doesn't understand how to interact with people because of his severe mental illness and traumatic childhood. Which is quite the mask-off moment, showing that "incel" is just a new buzzword to shame and bully men who don't live up to patriarchal expectations. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl-KIpAUq4I COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl-KIpAUq4I&lc=UgzCmiKFh24zD92d6Bh4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250530 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @crouchback4820 AUTHOR_ID: UCHjOQioWuDVrouVHq95F4kw TEXT: Worth noting that the virgin/chad dichotomy is modern one and very much not the case a century or more ago. Tennyson has Galahad claiming the "strength of ten" because of his (sexually) pure heart. In A Princess of Mars, John Carter has this to say about players vs real men: "I verily believe that a man’s way with women is in inverse ratio to his prowess among men. The weakling and the saphead have often great ability to charm the fair sex, while the fighting man who can face a thousand real dangers unafraid, sits hiding in the shadows like some frightened child." That mindset is true of a lot of other Victorian and other early pulp heroes. It's part of a rapidly changing social context it would take an essay to unpack. Still, it's kind of amusing to remember there was a time when being a chad meant being a virgin. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl-KIpAUq4I COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl-KIpAUq4I&lc=UgyLKFxbMCMAslfexlB4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250530 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @saimiri.

To me that really drives home the point about consent since it allows for people to have doubts and fears, and finding ways to work through those together to come to a definite conclusion and then plan/set boundaries accordingly is a major part of the bonding process in a relationship. Sadly, a lot of the 'incel' insults come from thinking (or making others think) that there's something so repellent about the target of the insult (even down to a minor difference in opinion/value) that nobody would even consider reaching the point of being intimate with the target, which makes sexual access not just a "virtue" in and of itself but a shorthand signal of greater social conformity/acceptance. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl-KIpAUq4I COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl-KIpAUq4I&lc=Ugx6umyUpe0y0rEbY6J4AaABAg.AIkYhp54gTpAIlDkLRz5SK UPLOAD DATE: 20250530 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @visaman AUTHOR_ID: UCVmzmLAWc0RMFscQCz13wFQ TEXT: I was briefly involved in the Scene in Vancouver in the early 2000s, and I found out quickly that there are very few doms in the PNW.

There are certainly examples where the consent argument could play into that, but my read on this particular example is the guy not respecting women. The “bros before hoes” mentality. Taking sexual acts out of this equation, if this guy had made a promise to his gf to not do something, and then his friends are all doing it in front of him and it looks like it feels good, him breaking that promise could be a moment a weakness. But it could also be that he doesn’t hold promises with his gf in high regard. There is also the possibility that the dude is just a hedonist and will always give in to the option that gives him immediate pleasure. But my money is on him disrespecting women.

The fact that virgin shaming of men is still seen as normalized(Especially in so Progressive circles under the guise of "Pushing back against incel behavior") is really damaging. It's one of those paradoxes of purity culture that just bothers me where it's like "You have to remain celebate until marrage, at the same time if you don't lose your virginity by a certain age, then it means you're falling behind in maturity". It's the ultimate catch 22. Again, more people need to accept that still being a virgin as an doesn't make you "lesser' or "immature".

You brought up the desire daemons again, so two things: 1- I'm so sick of people acting like anything a straight man might find attractive is a crime against women.. 2- I fully support the Incubus agenda! About the main topic: Hiding the characters faces strikes me as reference to veils worn by Victorian women during periods of mourning. Not that we shouldn't examine the trope, of course. But it does potentially have a more historical origin as a short hand for grief. It also strikes me as sad how grief isn't given to male characters. Losing someone he loves usually means a blood-soaked revenge story or self-destruction, not a tale of mourning in the aftermath of tragedy. I can't bring to mind any story where a man is specifically mourning the loss of his child. Related to that, as a man, I've always gotten the impression that the father isn't allowed to out-emotion the mother. And he should feel guilty if he pulls focus in such circumstances. Which might be why people don't tell that story. A "why are you focussing on the man, it's the woman who's really suffering" sort of thing. On another note, I do feel I have to check you on something (nothing personal). - There's a scene in the movie 300 where a guy literally get's sterilized with a hammer. I've never heard anyone complain about it or act like it's a big deal. - There's the scene at the end of Casino Royale where LeChiffre tortures 007 with a length of rope. It's uncomfortable to watch, sure, but not a "big deal" in the sense you described. - I think there's a QTE in Duke Nukem Forever where you punch a boss in the crotch until they die. (I never played it, just watched reviews, so I might be misremembering) - Robocop famously shoots a guys dick off and you can shoot enemies in the crotch repeatedly in the fable games. There's an achievement for it and everything! I get that it's not the same as the Silksong boss. My examples leave more to the imagination, for sure. But violence against men's genitals is all over the place in media and not usually seen as a big deal. Maybe the examples I've given would land differently in todays media ecosystem. But those aren't even all the examples I've thought of whilst writing this comment. In a world where John Wick can kill literally hundreds of men (because who cares) but fewer than a dozen women (because we don't want to make it weird), I think you've kind of gotten tunnel vision on this one: I don't think people have been particularly upset about destroying men's genitals in media. Although, again, I understand that the context, design language and upfront nature of the Silksong boss is very specific and different from my examples. Other than that, this was a good and interesting video. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvM3bbXaPHo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvM3bbXaPHo&lc=Ugxg4ju-eeEKwG4O0xl4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251209 COMMENT DATE: 2025-12-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @cobalt_rogue_917 AUTHOR_ID: UCaJOpoZa0OEEi5OqFVnJh1Q TEXT: Yeah, Silksong really seems to get away with A LOT of things you simply cannot get away with doing to a more conventionally attractive female character, more than I can recall off the top of my head. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvM3bbXaPHo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvM3bbXaPHo&lc=UgzrAEgOUbj3CiRmhZB4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251209 COMMENT DATE: 2025-12-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @cobalt_rogue_917 AUTHOR_ID: UCaJOpoZa0OEEi5OqFVnJh1Q TEXT: Er...

I saw them as forces of nature, with the whole my way or the highway attitude. The first game had a female-coded villain who would rather create a zombie wasteland than not be the one worshiped, so vanity. I saw Silk as melancholic, too wrapped in her own loneliness to see how she harmed and smothered her daughters and pushed them away. If you want squick, Hornet can go look for someone mourning their gay dead lover, kill them and mount their heart in her house's wall. What did Team Cherry meant by that? (Edit: All of this was sarcasm, and a wild misrepresentation of an optional boss for comedic effect.) Or the whole twisted bud sidequest that does share the pregnancy undertones and ends with the help of a dubious doctor and their abortion device. As for boss fights where you strike a male symbol, I don't think they're meant to be disturbing, but comedic. The prime example is Mara from the Shin Megami Tensei series. Its affinity is pierce, it's weak to ice, and the whole sidequest is layered with innuendo.

It's a show that had a good chance of bringing more women to the MCU. Jen's a character who likes getting frisky. Frisky-positivity would spread. Being a decent fan and human being would let guys enjoy frisky-positivity. Said guys would spend less time and money getting sucked into "self-help" death spirals. Postures would straighten from happiness, leaving chiropractors bittersweet. A swath of bashful tales would pepper bars of guys drenched in frisky-positivity explaining to their servers why they don't mind green paint in strange places. Hulkamania would be coming through, brother. Nightly. But none of that happened. Because guys chose misguided anger instead of, at least, cautious optimism. Now, the women with frisky-positivity who would've bothered with the MCU read ACOTAR instead. Where hardly any guys are and won't bother visiting. As for Jen's comics, I have all her series' except her first (one dumb Hulk's enough for this guy). It's been interesting watching her change with the times. The Byrne run is great cheesecake, and Deadpool before Deadpool; she popped up in January '89 and he popped up in December '90. I didn't mind her awkward question to Tony in bed during Slott's run because of who was supposed to be reading it. Wonder Woman has lots of female fans, but she was created to enlighten boys about womanhood (and, occasionally, shibari positions). Jen's clunky question was aimed at guys who're supposed to get the point. Alas... frisky-positivity denied again. David's run was cool because Jen was a bounty hunter. Still fun, but little to no cheese. Soule's run brushed off his lawyer past and gave her legitimate cases, with dashes of daffy. Tamaki's run tossed out all the fun and made Jen more Hulk than She. Bruce died around this time, and Marvel needed an angry Hulk, I guess. I'm not knocking the run, it was a cool take on angry women in the modern world. Rosnell's run was fun. And it had a fight club. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZCCqJf_O-c COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZCCqJf_O-c&lc=UgzwS1Wngsvml8yuv014AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250311 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @AgentownshipRebelion AUTHOR_ID: UCFpEK2OnFPIjIeQh8XKawiQ TEXT: I haven't actually come across much of the "women can't do it. Cause it's unrealistic when they do superhero stuff" arguments. I guess I'm just not in those groups online? We have a bunch of female lead X-Men books right now though. Hope they last a good long time. Scarlet Witch(though she's not a mutant anymore) also has a book. Emma Frost is also getting a mini. Spidergwen is so popular. Was hoping they would add her to the Marvel's Spiderman games. Shehulk. Ah. I remember my first Shehulk book. I use to try to draw the cover. I think Wolverine showed up in it. I remember thinking the way they drew his claws made them look like swords. Before the t.v show I thought Shehulk was a very well liked character. She was a sub for Thing in Fantastic Four and even made it into Marvel vs Capcom 3. I could be very much mistaken but in the comics, Carol Danvers isn't in a coma for very long after Rogue takes her powers. I think I heard the long lasting coma thing was something that originated from the 90s X-Men cartoon. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZCCqJf_O-c COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZCCqJf_O-c&lc=UgzRVmF7_6z3uepW8l14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250311 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @MyselfandComics AUTHOR_ID: UCN9l9l7woB1gDvzRb_Ou_tw TEXT: I remember having discussions about the sexist lawyer from the She Hulk show.

A lot of male characters are not US but who we would like to be. And just because a character isn't a lead character in a book doesn't mean people aren't very attached to them. Iron man WAS a favorite, but we also didn't like a lot of what they were doing with him. Cyclops fans are constantly disappointed by what they do with him but love the idea of the character. We tend to rate a character by his/her best moments, not their worst, because we do recognize a lot of bad writing happens. Sorry, long time fan of comics. Been reading since the mid 70s. I think a lot of the critique is backwards on how a lot of my generation viewed comics. We didn't care that She Hulk slept around. We though a hot chick with a law practice and super powers would do that... the celebrity lifestyle, the Olympic village lifestyle, disco/Studio 54 was our time period and then the AIDS crisis. Add the lifestyle, hot people in crazy dangerous situations bang because they can and tomorrow the option may be gone. It was not something we cared about because it made sense for the situation. The Juggernaut one being kind of the exception, being he was usually a villain. Sorry that is a scatter gun of thoughts. Just a old guy thinking about how a lot of us used to sit around talking comics. We talked power sets and 'how's that work?' or 'would he even do that?' ... we didn't talk about what would YOU do in that situation much or much about their sex lives. We mostly talked about character (would s/he or wouldn't), loyalty (this is where relationships mattered/cheatin' is bad) and who COULD do what with their powers. We talked art styles we like and didn't. We talked about hating ret-cons. Maybe a bit about what the crazy transformations would feel like or did to people's heads. That was all I remembered... oh, also what would the government do if real life people had those powers. Shrug. Not even sure why I am writing this. It kinda feels like those times are being forgotten. That people are looking back on those pre 90s talks and adding stuff to them I never heard from anyone. Telling us who we like because of who sold books, which isn't the same. We couldn't buy everything and you often bought a book you followed because you were wading through a bad patch rather than pick of something else in the middle because it had a good arc with a new character. Especially if it was just a guest star who wasn't going to make it. I loved Ms Marvel, but hated the initial memory thing, was embarrassed by my brother for liking female characters, or something similar. Dazzler was favorite, but the comic kinda came and went before I could get it a lot. God, sorry. Rambling. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZCCqJf_O-c COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZCCqJf_O-c&lc=Ugwz-wGVtLlJtJgL6xh4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250311 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @MyselfandComics AUTHOR_ID: UCN9l9l7woB1gDvzRb_Ou_tw TEXT: 8:14 it was dan slott:face-pink-tears: ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZCCqJf_O-c COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZCCqJf_O-c&lc=UgwpJmDz8GzBZIVA3kF4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250311 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Aries73 AUTHOR_ID: UCXcjFnRxCrfoPY-QIu5fKsw TEXT: “The Fan” = basement-dwelling clown with no prospect for employment or integration into decent society. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZCCqJf_O-c COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZCCqJf_O-c&lc=Ugx9QwzsVhQuUq4d3gJ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250311 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @chicagoallstarwrestling6489 AUTHOR_ID: UC8v30BHlup33IVbf8DGXh0A TEXT: This is Lord James Wellington III.🧐 I get 2000ad Comics from England.

The female characters are usually shown as being aware they're attractive. The male characters in contrast just happen to be shirtless or posing and aren't really shown as aware of their attractiveness to women. Consequently the male display seems a bit gutless - women can look but don't have to worry about the object of their desire looking back.

Stop dressing nicely and be less smart in conversation. I thought, "If this was an article advising women how to get along with men.... the author would be on a watch list."

Like that, instead of having to plainly face how many people get traumatized and just have to suffer with it, (and maybe something should be done to help them), people can instead adopt the attitude of (if we're being generous); "Well, they're pretty traumatized, but they'll have great sex!", or (if we're being a bit less generous); "Well, they're traumatized, but they'll be fun to screw!". To be clear, I'm not suggesting there's some kinda conspiracy spreading this line of thinking. More like, it's a spreading, misinformed mentality that "helps" people think it's acceptable just have people be left to deal with their trauma on their own, in unhealthy ways. Also, to even further clarify, talking about REAL PEOPLE.

It's really someone who never truely matured out of the spoiled daddy's girl "I'm at the top of the social heirarchy, and whatever I want I get" mindest. It's also one of those double standards, I've grew privy to. Because these are the same people who compain about how society infantilizes men to absolve them of bad behavior, and overall rewards immaturity from the male populace(Which, their not entierly off base with that. Again, our current president is basically the humansona of King John.), while at the same time expect to be let go with alot more lenient consiquences because of the troubling circumstances they were raised in. It's all one big game of "Standards for thee and not for me". This is my main grievence with the Online left(Breadtube and alot of adjacent spaces in particular), they cultivated a toxic enviroment where this sort of performative crybully mentality is the norm. Where they can get away with murder, but the minute someone confronts them on their rhetoric it's suddenly "Waah! the Mean ol' rightwingers are attacking me!" As they send their White Knights and Orbiters they have at their beck and call to swoop in like to defend them like an Off-Brand Justice League or Avengers. And the cycle repeats ad infinitum because they cultivated a cult-like fanbase that coddles them and treats them like a helpless Make a wish kid whenever they're faced with any sort of adversity. That's also why I have my bunk radar on high alert for people who make the Tumblr UWU shy baby age regressor "Self diagnosing yourself with every disorder under the sun is valid" shtick their personality, because 9 times out of 10 they use it as a facade to hide a truely abhorhent personality, and perople are just supposed to just accept it because they constantly just unload mounds of trauma to justify their actions. Likewise, the "Treating every disagreement as an attack" isn't just applicable to political discourse, it's applicable to alot of online discourse in general. For me, that's my big problem with alot of NIntendo discourse in recent years, where it's just two extremes of if criticize NIntendo you're automatically branded a hater, or a bandwagon follower, or an Xbox/PlayStation fanboy, or if you say anything positive about Nintendo that means you're a mindless fanboy, or a paid shill, or you blindly support every practice they do. (And that's my obligatory rant about Nintendo Discourse) It's all just entirely symptomatic of the safe space mentality, whre no discenting opinions are allowed, and anyone who doesn't 100% fall in line with the collective is punished. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO1IZZ4MlXU COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO1IZZ4MlXU&lc=UgwuzemIbzgWEaHk81l4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260211 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-12 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @VagabondTE AUTHOR_ID: UChOUKKgbShXy-vQcVtUyhkA TEXT: No, that was not what what I said was mocking.

You're expecting me to read your mind. You've also proved you, ironically, don't practice what you preach - exactly what you accused me of. You said you'd stop commenting. You didn't. So now your opinions of me are worth less, because you're coming across as projecting your own failings on to me. The voice I made was how your comments landed on me. That was honest, and maybe listening and taking in how that came across is a good idea - since it was done in the context of me explaining why I had a strong emotional reaction to something. Ironically, you came across to me as mocking men who came on my channel and dared to be vulnerable. To say "I don't know". The mocking tone was because you came across as mocking. So if YOU don't like that feeling, the best thing for you to do right now is recognize that you committed, again, EXACTLY what you are accusing me of, and that was the inciting event. "It's easy, I did research" is just mocking pomposity. If you didn't intend for it to come across that way, amend your approach. You haven't really shown any caring for anyone's feelings but your own, so expecting people to care about your feelings is just not fair. Furthermore, your ongoing pontifications on what I did wrong, what I should do differently, how I should run my channel... condescending AF my dude. You don't get to make the rules here. No matter how many tantrums you throw, that won't change. You asked for/demanded a warning in text. You've got one. Choose your next move carefully.

I think what struck me the most is when you said that someone responded to you doing that with "Thank you, I need to hear that more often." I live in a nursing home and always try to take that attitude with the staff: I might be the only one to thank them that day, to encourage them, or to make them feel appreciated and needed (which I KNOW they need to hear more often), so I try to drop something nice every once in a while. It also occurred to me that my last two comments here have been "correcting" or criticizing, so I'm fixing that. I've been a viewer in some form or other for ages. Your videos are always thought-out, funny, and insightful. They don't feel scripted even when they probably are, and I attribute that to your experience in TV and entertainment. You have a distinct writing style and "voice", and ultimately, that's what's kept me coming back. It's obvious how much of yourself you put into your content. Even when you're clearly reluctant on whether or not you should say a particular thing, you open up and say it anyway because it's appropriate or even necessary in the moment and above all, your videos feel honest and transparent in message and character. You not only have your own "flavor", but are your own person with your own thoughts and feelings, and the emphasis you place on that--actively or passively--is, itself, one of the things that make your content stand out. You have a lot to say--or sometimes might not--and always manage to spread it out across the usual 30 minutes in a way that keeps me listening and doesn't lull or lag. You express your points in a way that makes me want to hear how each one resolves and how they'll all get tied together in the end. Nothing feels like "filler" or fluff, and if anything, it feels sometimes like you even had to condense your point to make it fit into 30 minutes. I often find myself surprised at the end of a video because that 30 minutes felt like 5 or 10. And best of all: You're actively trying to educate people on how to be better, stronger people. I've gained a lot of wisdom and insight about how to treat people and why, how things feel on the receiving end, and how to cope with trauma from you. You want to help people--and that's just as clear in your videos as anything else above. So basically: Keep doing what you're doing. People will come and go; people will have bullshit to nitpick, misread, or take personally; but in the end, your skill, your voice, and your unique ideas and perspective make your videos what they are: funny, insightful, and helpful. It's a rule of thumb in any form of media creation to always leave the viewer/listener wanting more--and between how long I've been watching your videos and how many I've shared with friends, that is what you do right the most. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DyTkPDO-_4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DyTkPDO-_4&lc=UgygvGMzKc_gj3W4LuF4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250926 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @visaman AUTHOR_ID: UCVmzmLAWc0RMFscQCz13wFQ TEXT: Liana I want you to know that I love you and I want to givr yiu a hug right now.

At some point in high school, someone referred to me as "redbone;" I was absolutely clueless what that meant. Somehow, I convinced them to explain what this meant... The rabbit hole goes deep with this stuff! It's a remnant from enslavement in the US. The lighter skinned people were "allowed" to work inside the home; the darker you got, the less desirable you were... and thus to the field you went. I've often been the target of colorism...

Everything we like about the character is something that the Doctor picked up from his experiences So the changes go beyond canon or not mattering, instead the character itself is simplified from a man who escaped his people as a mean person and became good, to someone who was always a victim and always good. It’s a plot twist that isnt interested in developing characters or a meaningful story with themes and something to say about the character, instead it’s a ploy to make the series run forever and I think that is what damaged the show so irreparably It also doesnt help that it puts the Thirteenth Doctor into a position that reveals all her weaknesses as a character and performance: The Doctor is liked because they are the one holding secrets and in control of the situation, putting them into such a position where theyve lost that control and feel a deep emotional conflict is a scenario the viewers need to believe in order to accept and her performance never lets you in to believe this twist is going to affect her to the core. Compare Matt Smith talking about The War Doctor, the mix of hatred, fear, disgust and acceptance. He becomes The Doctor hiding a secret and in denial of what he did, The Thirteenth Doctor goes “why would they lieeeeee to meeee” and then five minutes later realizes she doesnt care when another version of herself says “lol who cares” All in all it was a storyline made just to prop up a version of the character that needed to be propped with good stories, good development and a good performance rather than because she “added something” to the mythos. When I think about what every Doctor added, I dont think anything interesting has happened since the Capaldi era introduced Missy and the Smith era introduced The War Doctor. Everything else has been gimmicky: Timeless Child, Bigeneration, Sutekh on the TARDIS, the Doctor not having a child yet ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCcek8Bvk6E COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCcek8Bvk6E&lc=Ugxj8EOkFsusj3riUR54AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250923 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @azamonra AUTHOR_ID: UCIKXDwOWc86hz0BYHkW4cQQ TEXT: I went back and forth trying to think of a way to word this; as much as I dislike it, canon doesn't matter in Doctor Who. Having Doctors before Hartnell goes beyond canon/non-canon for me. William Hartnell put more effort into what for the time was a nothing show, including well past his physical and mental limit as his health failed. No amount of setup is going to be enough for me to accept Doctors predated Hartnell. I rejected the Mobius Doctors and I reject the Timeless Child. I know it doesn't matter and there's an out but this is how I feel about it. The Timeless Child not gelling with other lore is an annoyance and tbh it doesn't add anything except a mystery box. The Fugitive Doctor was cool but ultimately a waste since we'll never get any stories with her outside of expanded media. I was never a fan of the Master in general and this version was fine but I was pretty happy with Missy ending that character's story. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irvVDHbZ8r0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irvVDHbZ8r0&lc=UgzX7QlsvGCbUrpGUkZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250930 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @bookonlegsbookonlegs8991 AUTHOR_ID: UC6KQVY9Q82hkTYdKZAYYqIQ TEXT: No I have no problem saying that the 13th is a woman and that breaks the show. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irvVDHbZ8r0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irvVDHbZ8r0&lc=Ugz2SPKmJ6pS2zbyJPd4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250930 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @JadeGolem-du2dx AUTHOR_ID: UCa1Bm3Q-dcg0V7lDdTxy0VA TEXT: Cocytean take on the whole River Song "relationship" ultimately going nowhere; The entire character was kludged in to the series (first appearance May 2007) because production heard about "The Time Travellers Wife" being adapted to film (originally slated for Oct 2007) and wanted to pre-empt and/or piggy-back off of any comparisons, with Moffat 'generously' taking the opportunity to crowbar in his waifu fanfic without a plan before eventually getting bored and leaving it unfinished (then later, like a true hack, ouroburosing the same fanfic to write Missy). ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irvVDHbZ8r0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irvVDHbZ8r0&lc=UgxnkuaZeEmZFWoTPSt4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250930 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @BetterWithBob AUTHOR_ID: UC9hTzXnwFm5KrtdC-_z9tBw TEXT: Hell I remember in 2015 there was a con panel with Rebecca Mader, who's a big fan, and someone suggested she be the first female Doctor, and the audience reception there was positive.

There’s some characters that don’t work as women and some that don’t work as men, it’d be ridiculous to say that the character of the Doctor doesnt lose something in the same way that casting a man as Hera or Diana Prince or Miss Marple or Cathy from Wuthering Heights. I dont even see how that’s a problem of sexism or even just an incorrect perspective when to me the idea of the Doctor is what’s interesting about the character is it’s a male character exhibiting traits stereotypically associated as being non-male traits: compassion, emotional intelligence, pacifism, the desire to talk things out rather than resort to violence and being somewhat nurturing. I’m not saying you couldn’t make a woman Doctor work, in fact I’m saying it’d surely be easier but even a successful version of The Doctor played by a woman wouldn’t be a particularly exciting character given that it’s essentially the default role of women in most fantasy. You’re essentially writing Galadriel. That’s why Missy was so successful as a character and arc, because it’s taking a male archetype and having a woman play it while also continuing threads of the character’s development that had started with Simm’s Master ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irvVDHbZ8r0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irvVDHbZ8r0&lc=UgymBjXSBwEHnerm0Zt4AaABAg.ANhHqEzPeysANi7y3fIM0B UPLOAD DATE: 20250930 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @JadeGolem-du2dx AUTHOR_ID: UCa1Bm3Q-dcg0V7lDdTxy0VA TEXT: I don't like it but for worse or for worse, when the only things that society/media allows to be exclusively associated with maleness are exclusively bad things while neutering any positive, the set of things "positive/neutral AND neuter/feminine" is always going to be greater/a super-set of things "positive/neutral AND neuter/masculine". So just like an older sibling telling a younger one "What's yours is mine, and what's mine is MINE", the "sharing" is non-reciprocal; female and non-binary etc folks get to appropriate stereotypically "male virtues" (for lack of a better term) and demand a say on what does or doesn't define maleness while rejecting the notion male folks should have any input on what defines them. This is partly the cause of the shrinking "acceptable-man box" which is a principle driver of "The super-conducting loop of stupid" that is gender discourse.

The Doctor's first companion was his granddaughter. While the Doctor's origins and past are shuffled on a semi-regular bases, my person headcanon has always been that the Doctor was an average Time Lord that led a mundane life. They're reason for stealing the TARDIS and leaving was because they wanted to give Susan a more interesting life than they had and, while they wouldn't admit it, be seen as more than a boring old man to her. One of the reasons the Timeless Child rubs me the wrong way. Anyway, the Doctor is if nothing else old. They lived multiple lives and have a depths of experience beyond anything a human can relate to, so a romance between the Doctor and anyone besides another Time Lord or some other similarly alien being, is hard to justify IMO. The Doctor likes humans sure but we're pets at best. As for the Doctor being a woman; I was kinda interested to see where they went with it. It didn't seem to be a factor honestly, swop Jodie with a guy and I wouldn't have noticed in that regard. Maybe that's good since they didn't devolve into stereotypes and what have you.

I still hate the timeless child as a concept but I don't have the same negative opinion I did of 13's run over all. I can't tell how I'll feel about 15's run years from now but for now the best episode for me was Well because it was a contained story that didn't feel half-finished like most of 15's run did. To me the Doctor is an old man, regardless of actor they are fundamentally the old man playing the fool sometimes but always the worse soul that had their life and tries to use that age to be better the young ones around them. That's why I can never get fully behind the "young" Doctors like 15. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFWDZIiJdVc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFWDZIiJdVc&lc=Ugzd-7_7tZQi_4C-nL94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250617 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @cordonus AUTHOR_ID: UCmKeqTI7PX-SPxUwmTf81hQ TEXT: What's interesting in all these responses is the common denominator of, Doctor Who should do more story telling and knock off the messaging, political or otherwise. And clearly a lot of bias towards Jodie Whittaker, (clearly without having watched her seasons), Chibnall, and Ncuti Gatwa directly. I have seen very similar talking points regarding Star Trek. That suddenly, it is "woke". Amazing since they have always had messaging. political and social. The original Star Trek did an episode called, "Let that be your last Battlefield" where they tackled racial superiority and how fundamentally wrong and disastrous that thinking can be (the aliens bombed themselves to extinction over it). This seemed to be understood and even called an excellent story during the 60's! Stories like that continued on in TNG, DS9, Voyager, etc. All had a message, usually of hope, tolerance and understanding. Yet it's only now that people are screaming that this messaging is too much, that it's all gone "woke", with no ability to quantify the complaint. I try to understand it but Star Trek and Doctor Who have always commented on current society issues. And never has that been the arc of the entire season, but generally an episode or 2. The actors have always pushed back against "fans" who complain about the show. Or as one commenter put it, telling "fans" to touch grass. Perhaps it's just due to the times we are living in. We have had nothing but an inundation of bad news for years. The pandemic, current instability due to tariffs, the war on Ukraine, doom scrolling. With so much negativity, perhaps people do just want to turn off their brains, tune into a show and get an enjoyable ride. And if that was truly what it was, I could understand it. Yet Doctor Who has done PLENTY of those episodes and these same "fans" hate on them. During 12's run, they hated on the Robin Hood episode, yet it was exactly what they said they wanted. Just a fun story to turn your brain off to. Hell, the majority of 13's run was fun and hope. 15's was joy and fun, but oh noes. A few episodes had a message that they disagreed with, how dare they tell me micro plastics could be dangerous, that racism is a real and present danger, and how dare they do that directly instead of indirectly by directly linking it to aliens in an non direct way. Then complain that modern audiences aren't stupid, yet seemingly they missed all the messaging of episodes past and present. 13's first 2 episodes are just fun, get to know The Doctor Episodes. Witchfinders is another fun historical. 15 met the Beatles and did a silly musical number. I can name more but the point remains that they do silly standalone episodes, some story arcs, and they can do messaging/commentary. And yet, it's never enough. Not that they ever provide any specifics to what exactly they perceived was wrong. And if you call them out and ask for specifics, you are immediately told you aren't allowed to criticize the show or The Doctor, (especially Whittaker because many suddenly can't say their complaints without showing their misogyny. ). Also just to the ratings point and blaming Chibnall. Chibnall did Broadchurch which was so amazingly successful that they made an American version of it. I have other examples but Jodie Whittaker was in that too, and was excellent. The Ratings for Doctor Who are only low on cable because they stream it immediately in iPlayer, even before the Disney+ deal. Taking streaming numbers into account and the fact it consistently made top 10 of Disney+, ratings aren't reflecting the show is dead. Contrary to what people believe. And lastly Ncuti, Peter Capaldi, David Tennant, Jodie Whittaker, Matt Smith, and all the classics have consistently told the "fans" who have complained to touch grass. It's again, nothing new. In the end people generally see only what they look for, and hear only what they listen for. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFWDZIiJdVc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFWDZIiJdVc&lc=UgzTK2KdSLrLYGYhqgl4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250617 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @bookonlegsbookonlegs8991 AUTHOR_ID: UC6KQVY9Q82hkTYdKZAYYqIQ TEXT: I can't watch anything that is not Classic Who anymore, no revival, not even number 9. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFWDZIiJdVc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFWDZIiJdVc&lc=UgxhxBWb3qZJ7p8rxsh4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250617 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @chaselonnergan AUTHOR_ID: UCQkErstwH5t9y1xzVnfrh-Q TEXT: My biggest issue with 15 is the same issue I had with 14, and some of 13.

The entire idea of the Doctor being obsessed with Clara and not being able to let her go was making a point more than it was entertaining. No female companion survived Twelve because the show was so busy making points it forgot that Doctor Who is not a complete bloody downer. All of Twelve's monologues were preachy as anything. His entire two episode regeneration was filled with moralizing statement he never even followed himself. There was A LOT of putting messaging over entertainment in Twelve. Thirteen was excited about pockets and her Sonic Screwdriver again.

You've jumped from the show itself to the marketing of the show, which isn't the same thing and, in fairness, is heavily interpretive. "Hey isn't this great?!" isn't "You're shit if you don't like it". But let's continue down Eleven's run. There's The Doctor's Wife, that literally turned the TARDIS into a woman, a plot that didn't make any damned sense and was Neil Gaiman's treatise on feminine sacrificial virtue - something that's aged very poorly based on what came out about him. And what about the very on the nose "Let's Kill Hitler"? It was the "lets punch Nazis" of its day. Or Partners In Crime, which introduced the Adipose, which was a commentary on weight loss drugs like Olestra. Eleven's run continued the Lady Cassandra "Moisturize me" stuff from Ten's run. (Ten was the first time it was referenced that the Doctor was bisexual, BTW - he responds positively to SHAKESPEARE flirting with him, quote "Fifty-seven academics just punched the air!") The Lady Cassandra stuff was a clear commentary on excessive cosmetic surgery. Never mind Captain Jack Harkness hitting on absolutely everything that moves his entire run, except when he turned into a giant head. That's just a short list. There's always been "messaging" in Doctor Who. Whether or not it overrides the entertainment value is highly subjective, based on how much offense you take at the message. I'm not exactly why you're so bothered about historical episodes about Rosa Parks and the partition of India but not bothered by Winston Churchill being tricked by the Daleks or a deep dive into Van Gogh's mental illness... or, you know, trivializing the Holocaust. But the Thirteen episode with Tesla and the one with the Shelleys and Byron were hands down excellent - much better ties in to literature with the line from Alastor than the hokey "Love's Labour's Won" stuff in the Shakespeare ep. Extra points for the callback to the previous Ada Lovelace episode which was also great. Also, a Doctor run with the freaking Lupari can hardly be said to be totally message driven. You might not like the Timeless Child, but the River Song stuff ended with a freaking thud, and Amy and Rory were toxic AF. And Amy being River's mother and suddenly being all "I AM HER MOTHER" even though she never raised her... come on that was asinine. The Silence were another "great set up, LOUSY follow through" plot that went on too long. And the way they originally ended Donna's run was depressing. It's a matter of taste, not bad or good writing. Every series of Doctor Who is profoundly uneven. There are episodes that are great. Other ones flat out suck. Thirteen is not objectively worse than previous seasons. Some of the writing on Matt Smith's run was bloody awful. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFWDZIiJdVc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFWDZIiJdVc&lc=UgxhxBWb3qZJ7p8rxsh4AaABAg.AJTzScULFfRAJWtJqaRY4a UPLOAD DATE: 20250617 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @chaselonnergan AUTHOR_ID: UCQkErstwH5t9y1xzVnfrh-Q TEXT:  @RedLianaK  There definitely was.

I'm not a fan of the Doctor "being your friend" as I prefer the Doctor be the old man seeing the wrong of a situation but that's just personal preference. 15 was fine over all. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFWDZIiJdVc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFWDZIiJdVc&lc=UgxQNhZE2pE5EMJegDh4AaABAg.AJTqq_55naOAJWkHBxOFZk UPLOAD DATE: 20250617 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: @azamonra yeah the breakneck pacing isn't my favourite either, as I said.

I know it's the general assumption that modern audiences are brainrotted goldfish but I vaguely recall more-or-less the same thing said about our generation.

And all that travel has given him a gift for language, he tends to pick it up really easy. Just that would have been enough for me to totally buy in on him cracking a dead language based on one phrase in a matter of days. As it is, it’s still a bit of a stretch for me.

Least Favorite. America Chavez. I think she can be a good character. It's just everything I've read with her in has made her really unlikable. She was decent in that ret-con mini where she met her sister though. MCU version of her was pretty bland. Jean Grey.

If Aileyn's main interactions with comic Harley have been, like she said, only compilations, then it's no wonder her opinion is such. Harley has only been infatuated with Joker in the animated series (and whenever Paul Dini writes her). The first thing she did in her first series, with Karl Kesel and the Dodsons, was ditch him. I think he tried to get back into her life once or twice, but she wasn't having it. Lieberman's run was Joker-lite, and was a dark answer to the question: Is Harley a villain? In the New 52 launch of "Suicide Squad", Joker tried getting back with Harley again by kidnapping her and showing her his... failed attempts at making another her. Screwed-up, to the point where parts of it felt like the writer was venting other lady frustrations, but she didn't go back. The Conner/Palmiotti run was practically Joker-less, except when she finally beat the crap out of him for what he did. She also routinely showed off her psychology skills. And her Gang of Harleys made sense because she inspired the outcasts of Canarsie the same way Batman inspired the vigilantes of Gotham, except she was more rainbow-friendly, body-positive, and all that jazz. I left after Conner and Palmiotti did, and came back to the current run. The scratch-and-sniff gimmick is dumb (and not the first time for a Harley comic), but she's fighting gentrification and I haven't seen a Gothamite do something like that since Brubaker's Catwoman run. The Sejic miniseries was a retelling of her origin, so you can't fault him for the Joker love in that. The Garcia miniseries was another retelling that ran with the idea of Joker's line in "Batman" ("I am the world's first fully functioning homicidal artist.") in a cool, gritty way. As for her look, I love the onesie, but costumes have to change with the times. Otherwise, we'd be stuck with Nightwing's disco collar. The reason why Harley wears the shorts and top during the Conner/Palmiotti run is because she also does roller derby. Her pasty look with the two-toned hair was a holdover from the New 52 "Suicide Squad", which tweaked her origin so Joker tossed her into the vat that changed him. Her red and black hair makes as much sense as his green hair. Her current cotton candy hair came from the "Suicide Squad" movie to the comics because of corporate synergy.

You having more experience with her than that's great; I was just going off of what you said in the video. Since no one mentioned the whys of things like her Coke Zero hair, not that they should in the time they had and the fact it's about a "least favorite" character, I rambled about her.

Little use to look the part of a suitor and pursue a lifelong sass if you can't get it up, either. So, that rules out consistent exercise beyond what's needed for work. When I did take Synthroid in the 2,000's, the monthly co-pay was $20, the doc refused to instead prescribe the generic levothyroxine and, having a rep payee at the time, I lacked immediate discretion over finances beyond cash. Using cash made me necessarily furtive with personal expenditures, it also turned me into a skinflint once I claimed that level of responsibility (would splurge on dates if appropriate). I dropped out of taking medicine as I found myself hating the hassle of taking it. I never had that happen with other drugs; typically, they must "not work", cause a horrible reaction, or become redundant before I drop them. Once I started using a bio-feedback electrical stimulator for the vagus nerve, I ditched nightly diphenhydramine since the dry mouth and teeth-grinding would have been a worse long-term cost. I'm always looking into ways out of taking pills for every little thing--part of the anti-drug propaganda technically aimed at the recreational stuff, but no less applicable to lazily overmedicating civilization. But, at this point, I'm actually worried about losing out on lots of things simply because I don't look like I take pride in my appearance. It's not quite vanity, because the pursuit of happiness should never be seen as futile. It's not narcissism, because coming apart at the seams demands self-care. Trying to solve this shouldn't be seen as selfish when nobody else gets injured. I still worry over what other people think precisely because of people's reactions. Some of those reactions are too over the top or downright cruel, projecting untold levels of personal baggage but then thrusting it upon another idiot human being, the scapegoat of the century, who then assumes and ultimately embodies that measure of depravity, becoming a self-fulfilled prophecy of an embittered prick. Naturally, I have an upcoming medical appointment which will include a bloodwork report. I'm going to have them check the thyroid levels for real because I'm not convinced it's ever been right and it could be getting worse. And I'm going to ask for a prescription of levothyroxine (no brand-name substitutes) and an endocrinologist.

Ontop of that, the notion of "body positivity" as unfortunately been conflated with "romanticizing obesity"(but that's a different conversation for another time.) While I do agree, that it's important to take care of your body by maintaining good hygene practices, eating right, geting regular physical activity and whatnot. It should also be important to know the difference between doing something for yourself, and only doing something just for external validation.(And this isn't just about looks, this is can easily be spun into a conversation about society as a whole.) That means, tuning out all the grifitng and the snake oil, and surrounding yourself with people who'll help ground you, and steer you down the path of self-acceptance, and having a better self image of yourself. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwF5x_DXgI0 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwF5x_DXgI0&lc=UgzwXH16zC1XErU_NmN4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250303 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @edmundolastra3279 AUTHOR_ID: UCvXXAoQAJJcxTX37VTifSOA TEXT: The part about Elon saving the world via "his dna" made me physically tremble and cringe.

And the people who do think that are either projecting their own insecurities onto you, or so completely gooner brained that they think that any woman who doesn't look like a DOA character is "ugly".) It's like, society has gotten so obsessed with external validation, that we've completely lost the plot.(And I don't mean in that disengenous "Society has a dopamine problem that I'm here to solve" sort of way that the Self-Help gurus try to peddle, or a bitter crumuddgeon grumbling about how "radical acceptance has gone to far, and society is on the decline.") It's gotten to the point where they see anything that doesn't 100% validate their worldviews as a personal atatck on themselves and everything they stand for. It's the main reason why I tapped out of the culture war ages ago Where both the hardline left and right are caught up in judging a game on wether or not it validates their particular political beliefs, or if every group under the sun, or only a very select group of people is represented that they just end up just devolving into rabid badgers tearing eachother apart. And what makes it equally frustrating, is that it makes it seem that I can't have an opinion of a game without people jumping to conclusions and either accusing me of either being a raving far right wackjob, or a miltiant communist tankie.(Even if my opinions of a game are completely divorced from anything political.) And it's not just with the culture war, it's also just gaming discourse in general, where all the rational opinions are just drowned out by a sea of rage bait, misinformation, and brand tribalism. And I constantly think I can't get a word in edgewise without people jumping to conclusion and lumping me in with that loud toxic group of gamers. Which is frustrating because, I'm no stranger to making my grievances with the gaming industry, and the discourse surrounding it known. It's all one big exercise in futility, and I'm just fed up.

However, they have always done things I liked, and they have done things I didn't like. There is one particular point in the series where I think they took a bit too much inspiration from Persona, for example. They corrected that again in later games. Similarly, the Trails in the Sky remake made changes. I like most of them, I don't like some of them. I overall prefer the XSEED translation because I believe the creative liberties they took were respectful and made the game better. However, I can't say that sticking more closely to the original Japanese was the objectively wrong choice. None of that was about me, either way. The discourse around Trails in the Sky makes me sad. On the one hand, we have grifters who clearly have not played the games, yet have very loud and very wrong opinions. On the other hand, we have sincere fans who feel betrayed by something I believe they misunderstood. This is Falcom's biggest launch yet, and at the very start of the Saga, it's a chance to make the next step in bringing this series I love to more people. It should be a party, and in many circles it is, but it could be so much better than that. We need to listen better.

They have no set body, no set biology, and no set sex. Most people imagine Khorne and Nurgle as male, and so Khorne and Nurgle daemons normally manifest as male or male-ish but that is no absolute rule. Tzeentch, being the god of mutation and change, has demons in a constant state of unstable physical flux anyway. Slaanesh is the god of obsession, perfection (for a disturbingly insane definition of 'perfection' anyway) and sensation taken to delirious extremes. Slaanesh (or Sai'lenthresh, as the Aeldarri call it) is simultaneously She Who Thirsts and The Prince of Pleasure, having both male and female aspects but ultimately being, in an absolute sense, neither of those things, but the same kind of mind bending cosmic horror its fellow Chaos gods are, and the same is true of the daemons who serve it. In some ways, the same can be said of the C'Tan and their Shards. They are often thought of as male, but in fact they don't possess gender at all, being anthropomorphic in form only because their Necrodermis 'skins' assumed that form when they communicated with the ancient Necrontyr during the War in Heaven. In their natural state, C'tan are pure energy beings, diffuse' star vampires' without a physical body. Capable of shape shifting by altering the form of their Necrodermis at will, there is no reason why a C'Tan Shard couldn't appear as female if it so chose. A C'tan Shard of the Nightbringer, for example, likely wouldn't bother, but I can easily imagine the Deceiver seeing advantage in such an ability.

I never thought Angron had the potential to be an interesting character but they filled out his lore expertly. I see him fighting against unfairness and persecution, and how various catalysts stoked that demand for justice into rage. This is actually scary to me because I've seen decades of people condemning video games because they are not productive, or can be violent or sexist and it has spread to other mediums and I get angry that people that are outside of my hobbies seek to change them. These people weave Tzeentchian schemes to shape things in their own image, and I don't want to become an Angron that rages against that threat. Every person gatekept out of a hobby that just wanted to have fun is a huge shame and they are friendly fire in a struggle that wants to sanitise a setting that is messy and horrific. Last year I watched a video about the Brony community and I saw a strong parallel to the 40k community. The Bronies were a community of mostly adult male viewers that enjoyed the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic series. There was nothing inherently wrong with adult men being interested in a show aimed at young girls, it was apparently well written. Some people in the Brony community did not behave well, however, and widely shared NSFW artwork of the characters online (Not that I find that inherently wrong, but well... kids seeing fanart of their favourite character in a kid's show getting railed on a simple Google search is a difficult conversation afterwards) or demanded that the show headed in certain directions. While I would expect that most Bronies were perfectly reasonable, the small but noisy group that refused to recognise the series target demographic was not primarily aimed at them, and tried to change it to suit them, were the problem, and this is where I believe we are with the community around Warhammer currently. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDKGVja6yQk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDKGVja6yQk&lc=UgxcPvEyq7aTWfoTVqV4AaABAg.ATIJhVSaO9TATINFpx6haW UPLOAD DATE: 20260216 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-17 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @KroganCharr AUTHOR_ID: UC4reDZpUcWEdWHu-Fs3gLPw TEXT: I was introduced to both 40k and My Little Pony by male online friends.

Yet she is not some Marry Sue instead she is as tragic a figure as any of those that fell to Heresy. I think the reason why GW has back off Slaansh is because Slaansh is great as the antagonist for small scale fight such as kill team or a book. For large scale table top wargame not so much. Given that in Fantasy GW has but kill off Slaansh, I honestly think GW doesn't know what to do with Slaansh. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDKGVja6yQk COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDKGVja6yQk&lc=UgysOL_ABC9EorUrj354AaABAg.ATIINpf_g9FATKwzYalPJK UPLOAD DATE: 20260216 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-18 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @AC-dk4fp AUTHOR_ID: UCXYnuqwzwg-J-G3C6ktNKgw TEXT: Slaanesh is 'imprisoned' in Age of Sigmar but that didn't stop AoS having had more Slaanesh model releases than WHF every did and whole campaign books dedicated to attempts to liberate Slaanesh.

That's why I tapped out of the culture war ages ago, because it gives you this sense that the world is constantly out to get you, and it gets real depressing when you stew on it long enough. At the same time, I get it, I strongly emphasise with the frustration of seeing something you love being forcefully bulldozed by a bunch of busybodies trying to forcefully change it to appease their moral sensibilites. I even have this fear that I might get constantly bombarded with a bunch of purity checks before I'm able to enjoy something.

Like it or not, certain factions being all-male is part of their identity and what makes them interesting. There are so many factions with cool gimmicks in 40k, and making Custodes mixed-gender waters down the worldbuilding and uniqueness of the faction. It's the same reason I hated when Primaris Marines were introduced. Necrons don't have organic warriors, Tyranids don't have mechanical vehicles, mainstream Tau don't fight in close-combat, Death Guard are slow and tough, not fast and fragile, World Eaters like blood and fight in melee, Orks are genderless, male-coded and aren't pacifist, Sisters of Battle are all female and religious, and Custodes and Space Marines are all male. These kind of retcons are emblematic of the watering-down and sanding off of the edges that make 40k such a fun and interesting setting. And it's an epidemic across all beloved male-targeted franchises these days. When everything is diverse in the exact same way, nothing is. And it only emboldens the perpetually offended moralizers who know that they can make any company bend the knee if they're loud enough. GW may have drawn a line over female Space Marines now, but with enough time and pressure they WILL capitulate if we fans don't stand up and defend the things we love. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYTcWRuzz78 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYTcWRuzz78&lc=UgwRxQQmO4lY4arOecJ4AaABAg.ATMPugpLA7EATUYY2g09uX UPLOAD DATE: 20260213 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-21 10:00:00 AUTHOR: @momqabt AUTHOR_ID: UCSrwyly8QucIZw02AswMjPw TEXT: Your problem with femstodies isn't LORE?!

For the Primaris Space Marines, they were just dropped on people with a single book to explain it that was frankly not well written. Turns out once you get the Indomitus series and actually showcase how things can be cool people are a lot more receptive to things. For the Custodes I was initially against them just because of the one tweet from the official GW account where people were citing the earlier lore that strongly implied that all Custodes were male (including all the Custodes in the very long Horus Heresy series) and asked if this was meant to be an explicit change to the lore, where the response came across as gaslighting that the female Custodes were always there instead of saying outright that this is a change they are making to the lore (retroactive continuity and all) after the books have all come out. I suspect as more good content comes out with female Custodes and the grimdark nature of it gets played up it will be more accepted. People were saying they would never accept Primaris Space Marines a few years ago, and now nobody really cares. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYTcWRuzz78 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYTcWRuzz78&lc=Ugx523IdZIg_sCIcjRZ4AaABAg.ATAk6rMfYcNATLXsej2cnB UPLOAD DATE: 20260213 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-18 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @DirkLoechel AUTHOR_ID: UChTTdld9nHEJ68kwJt2SM1g TEXT: Uh, were you around for 5th edition?

I'm a straight white male and I grew up with 40k in the early nineties and it became the world I immersed myself in when things got too much in the real world, what we would now call a safe space. I know a lot of other men my age probably feel the same way, and there is a very real fear that activists from outside the hobby are going to grab the heart of 40k and warp it with a grand "The Force is Female" moment, and I have seen people really overreact to the perceived threat. There's always been women and girls interested in the hobby, as small as that number use to be, People don't need to force "diversity" and "representation" into 40k because it has always been there in one way or another. This is a game where I represent the leader of my male-coded asexual demi-fungus monsters across the table from my childhood friend representing nightmarish hyper-evolved bug-dinosaur monsters. I'm pretty sure a hive ganger with brown skin won't make the galaxy explode (though it was a shaved-headed white guy with a topknot that practically split the galaxy in half! 😂) As for the Custodes situation, I see why people would be concerned, but not to the extent that people have been behaving. Custodes have been in the background for almost all of 40k's run time and people are unhappy because a few words in a couple of paragraphs claiming the "sons" of nobles were recruited? Taking that at 100% face value and getting outraged at the change when it was never stated female Custodes were possible feels asinine to me. Are we also to believe that no women exist at all in The Imperium of Man? Do you see how stupid that logic sounds? In addition to that, if it even is a retcon, it's a tiny one compared to how they changed the 13th Black Crusade. In 3rd edition the crusade ended in an awkward stalemate, with the planets of the Cadia sector mauled by Chaos but the Imperial managing to blockade the threat, and notable Eldar Farseer Eldrad Ulthran managed to get his soul slurped out by a slaaneshi-possessed Blackstone Fortress. However, but 8th edition he'd somehow managed to walk off that mild inconvenience, but the galaxy had ripped in half. Oops. Personally there are so many places for people to find inspiration and relatable characters in 40k. I loved the Adeptus Mechanicus because their lore is so insane, hypocritical and convoluted and I was delighted when they finally took to the battlefield on their own instead of as the occasional Techmarine or Engineer/Engineseer. I watched a Youtube video that pointed out humorous stereotypes in thew 40k factions and they joked that the Admech community was full of trans and non-binary people. It had never even occurred to me as a theme, but a faction of humans that seek to gain enlightenment by leaving parts of their body behind to transition into a being of flesh and metal would be really interesting to people from the background of a trans person or to remove the parts of one's body to redefine themselves for a non-binary person. It made me look at the faction in a whole new light when I'd previously just appreciated them as the raygun-loving people that light incense and ritually strike the casing of a malfunctioning machine to appease the spirit within in. It's hard to tell wither the calculated cruelty of the Adeptus Mechanicus is more evil than the Indoctrinated hate and fanaticism of the Adepta Sororitas , but it's fun to cheer them on as long as you remember that it's just a fantasy and not to base your identity on it. 40k has some cool heroes, but they are flawed characters rather than virtuous role-models, and they never need to be that. Lelith Hesperax is a cruel gladiatrix who flaunts her pristine body, since it is unscarred by blade due to her martial prowess. She doesn't need to be modestly dressed, she doesn't need to be a role model, she is an arsehole, and that is *okay*. Eldar from the Craftworlds have no problems allowing their women to be powerful warriors and leaders, but they are hella racist. We don't have to iron that out because it's "problematic", either. As you said in your Rogue Trader video, fiction should be allowed to be *messy*. I think you've made some fantastic points in this video. I am worried that the hobby might get subverted by activists trying to push their agendas for political or economic reasons. I am also concerned that defensiveness, intolerance or even trauma-based gatekeeping (This was my safe space, don't try to take it from me) may push out people just looking to have fun, but I am hopeful that the community will be able to self-regulate itself. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYTcWRuzz78 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYTcWRuzz78&lc=UgxydBkPEqDekLqByjJ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260213 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-14 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Teeabee AUTHOR_ID: UCJCIwUmnctlD77AsZM5YPDw TEXT: 17:03 I personally think it was always a part of 40k even in the early aughts when I first got into it. The closest fandom analogy I can think of is actually Fallout where the fans were once described as "glittering gems of hatred", the default general reaction to anything different being anger. I think a certain subsection of the fanbase knew this and when the new direction for Custodes lore first became known, those people tried to ragebait the fandom by preemptively drawing battle lines in the sand, which didn't help the situation at the time. Not that I think there was any conspiracy behind it, more like just a desire for gratification at having provoked people they were opposed to.

Of note, I've seen a lot of talk in the past years about bi romanceable characters vs playersexual ones. I think Jae is a well written bi character, but more surprisingly, I think Kibellah is the first case of well-written playersexual character I've seen, because the self-harming death cult she's part of actually worships the player so of course if they took any interest in her it would shape her awakening to sexuality no matter their gender. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio&lc=UgxjpwzLrOArloeV1iN4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260210 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-18 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Ryuzu-ui2hs AUTHOR_ID: UCuQxP-WeRuS4CIFovlWkVRw TEXT: Honestly, looking at RT and Wrath of The Righteous, I think someone at Owlcat REALLY likes toxic female companions. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio&lc=Ugwsgse36FyatgK4HJZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260210 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-17 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @UNYEILDING AUTHOR_ID: UCxGvkTli1CRVj1m0EYgQQqQ TEXT: Abelard didn't have a romance route because none of us are good enough for him. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio&lc=Ugwsgse36FyatgK4HJZ4AaABAg.ATIqeOP_exqATKqr-LtaQ8 UPLOAD DATE: 20260210 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-18 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @negZero529 AUTHOR_ID: UCMnnd8PIVEIhBEvfvW5whAg TEXT: I didnt want to cry today but this did it.

Argenta would've been the closest, but as a Dogmatic Imperial Guard General, who reveres the Sisters of Battle as much as he revered the Space Marines, romancing her would've been utterly unthinkable, because it's downright sacrilegious (but, a fun fact - Sororitas can have boyfriends, some of them are even mothers, it's just not appropriate and could lead to them becoming Repentia). I had to put Idira down, unfortunately, and I didn't really want to, but at the time it seemed the game didn't leave me any choice. I didn't have Yrilet in the retinue, because I had Argenta shoot her with her bolter. Cassia? Not that she isn't a sweet girl, but she's a Navigator, and it's probably for the best that she get with another Navigator. And as for Jae, I wouldn't trust her at all. When I ran through the game with my Iconoclast Noble, I was proven to be right. Kibellah? No. I just don't want to. I'm tempted every now and then to see where this leads, but I just can't bring myself to romance her. Running through this as a female character, I don't think very highly of the guys either. The worst is Marazhai, but I never run with him on my ship even if I were playing a Heretical RT; even Chaos followers need crew on their ships, and I rather like keeping my crew happy.

It's kind of a thing between the Eldar factions that they don't harm each other, so even though she knows the Drukhari would kill you, she doesn't ever think they would betray her, a fellow Eldar. The fact that they do is something that actually crosses a line among the Eldar which is why the Joker Eldar Guy is there in Act 3 investigating what happened and helping you out. Also I think the attraction to goth chicks comes from the fact they are usually into the same kind of things us nerds are into, during a time when most normal women wouldn't give us the time of day. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio&lc=UgzYq2LMw5sBcO38M4x4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260210 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-14 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @DSzaks AUTHOR_ID: UCJ79n7vIpPlnVTeGmLpXtWA TEXT: Just FYI Marazhai is by far the MOST toxic of all the characters, and he is romanceable.

They really stand out. Many of them are terrifying in their own way. Idira and Cassia are dancing with the warp; Idira is a loose cannon, might go off any day. Cassia is even worse, despite her great knowledge - a different kind of Navigator with enormous power and disregard for the suffering of humans. The way she acts amongst the average folk is at times horrific and she scares the hell out of anyone. Argenta is the true believer, capable of both great mercy and ferocious cruelty. The other character, the one who might become the unexpected companion, is somewhat of a missed opportunity. More could have been done with her in the last act.

She reminds of Isabela from DA2. Woman who lies and steals and spends a portion of game lying to me, but I can't let her go. Can't put off the team.

At first I really enjoyed her for obvious reasons, as I learned more about her and then eventually met Gortash I was like "How did this crayon munching glue sniffer manage to sell her into slavery? She's like five times his weight in 100% muscle and power." Never got a satisfying answer. On the flip side there is the male dark side only party member Zalbar who has a "Life Debt" to a target he was supposed to kill. He hates this. But he is bound to the life debt and as such chooses to instead hunt her so that once she's dead he no longer will owe her. He is a slave to his own upbringing and cultural ideals. An ideal that allowed his entire people to be enslaved by Czerka and the Empire. IDK why there was never anything going anywhere with most of those characters, but after multiple playthroughs it left a sour taste in my mouth and left me not wanting to revisit BG3 anymore. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio&lc=Ugy73cNOuiYVaLoFs6d4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260210 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-13 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @oMa3aH AUTHOR_ID: UCIjXJuz5mUuuvjFBP4LWIog TEXT: My character managed to woo Cassia but in the end it wasnt supposed to be, in the after end story their relationship had sad and dramatic ending that became a legend thru the sector kek ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio&lc=UgzPfUl3-xuzjfH-so94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260210 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-13 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @boyanpenev9822 AUTHOR_ID: UCS7lu4KzxY3u-MzUXFxrklw TEXT: Odd, for me Jae was a bit too similar to Dragon Age's Isabella, except Isabella was more of a swashbuckler and more blatantly sexual.

For shame! Jk I actually think he's one of the best characters in the game. He doesn't say much to you past the first act and his personal quest, but that absolutely makes sense for the character - he is the traditional gentleman officer ( embodying both the best parts of that and its shortcomings) who bears his duty quietly and expects that of others too. But he is at the core a good person, more often than not, in a bad time - the most human character in the game in a lot of ways. Flawed but heroic. Basically a really well written paladin in that he is believably imperfect but still a great person. It was nice seeing an actual hero in the setting, doing the best he can in a world thats beyond insane by modern sensabilities. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio&lc=UgwdzTsRSkYru84Ze254AaABAg.AT7JLT5KtKiAT8EellakGw UPLOAD DATE: 20260210 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-13 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @charly03090309 AUTHOR_ID: UCSjV53syI6v6XUaI4JxPcbw TEXT: Abelard, Teach her a lesson for forgetting your name ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio&lc=UgwvlFspzDbEQpqsX8B4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260210 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-13 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @zanderC5953 AUTHOR_ID: UCb7_a8Pu-fD7h8zDXQEGnAw TEXT: Thanks for sharing your love and insights about the relationships in this amazing game! ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio&lc=Ugzu8XnkyA8HgbDF5uh4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260210 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-13 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @swallace7447 AUTHOR_ID: UC7cDlp7lfZFVVqabr3iznZA TEXT: There's a reasom I went with Jae for my Heretic play through.

Props to you! One of the things about Space Marines - apart from a faint to medium homoeroticism, depending on era and author - is that they are, at heart, children. They never go through puberty, and "they shall know no fear" actually is a feature child soldiers display, if you condition them properly. Cassia, by the way, and to a degree Jae, are typical Imperial nobles, and I do salute Owlcat for not pulling punches with their transactional view of any relationship (as in Warhammer nobility, marriages are as economical as they are in Game of Thrones) and casual cruelty, there especially Cassia, who just didn't know you actually did not have to cut out servats' tongues as a standard procedure. Jae was my main romance in my first (female) mostly-iconoclast playthrough.

This is an intersection of two very niche settings, but I feel like Alliance/Union and 40K combine in fun ways. Signy is from the grim war-torn universe that 40k is parodying -- and I really enjoyed imagining how one of CJ's iconic "damaged/autistic FMCs" would interact with all Owlcat's characters. (In my playthrough, she has very little patience for their bs. She's an iconclast who's ready to shot first, ask questions later, and she's comfortable rolling with the consequences if/when things go to hell.) She also sleeps with everyone, then tells them to stop distracting her with their nonsense when they inevitably get weird about it. I was actually pleasantly surprised by how well Owlcat's writing fits with that older, 1980s military scifi vibe. There's some kind of common ancestry there, I think. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio&lc=Ugye5a74_Avel85zbdJ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260210 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-12 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @jthompson7175 AUTHOR_ID: UC-k44mwKB2pUvis8wzzkV4A TEXT: I like the way they handled Cassia.

You don't tame or change her; you ride the tiger. Cassia is a classic princess, both eager to make unreasonable demands but also desperate for the right kind of attention. The fact that most folks end up accidentally romancing her is hilarious, and yeah, I haven't gone out of my way to piss her off, but the danger is obvious from what you see where you pick her up. This might be a me-thing, but is most likely a (upper-middle class South Texas) culture thing, but as a guy, you do not change women. You have to take them as they are. You can (try to) control them, you can lead them, but transformation isn't on the menu. Coaching is possible, but that depends on her wanting to change and you guiding and helping. You can save a woman physically, financially, and socially, but not emotionally or personality-wise. The closest you can get to that is to drive her to therapy and make certain she takes her meds. We always read Jagger's riding to her emotional rescue as pretentious (and stoned) BS. I keep going back-and-forth on how much dynasty-play I want in this game. On the one hand, the scope in terms of time is really too short for that sort of thing. On the other hand, there's a definite appeal to the idea of going Crusader Kings in this thing, since dynasty is such a focus of the RP. Spoilers, I know, but I'm really curious to hear your thoughts on Chapter 3. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio&lc=UgzdjOKLmJEG2trqqOd4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260210 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-11 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @codyrivera6219 AUTHOR_ID: UCjOXurrK5v54Mi52U6Fr2nw TEXT: Now let's see you build and paint some minis. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio&lc=UgzvXZoz_KyER0Gor394AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260210 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-11 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @reson8 AUTHOR_ID: UCVqNEJF87wIRX2CbC-lJm_Q TEXT: Having not played Rogue Trader (or watched your previous video on it) i seem to be missing the part where toxic=bad.

I mean, she says they are not just messy but disastrous/scary. The “good” part she talks about is a mix of them being done relatively well/a bit less tropey maybe than typical, and more balanced complete characters beyond just the toxicity/trope fully defining them. She does mention that people find some of these toxic types attractive even in real life (often to their own risk) and even moreso in games where you don’t risk the worst of the long term downsides and (being a game) have an unreal level of control over how they effect you and often can even “fixing” them. It’s good to see these sorts of portrayals both because they are interesting and because poorly done it can reinforce some bad assumptions about real people and relationships. The women get the nuanced explanations here because it’s the video focused on them vs when she played her first playthrough as a female MC and would have had the insights on the male characters. Also, I think it’s worth recognizing that the kinds of toxic female tropes she talks about are more often done one very shallowly and with a lot of wish fulfillment given to the player to “fix” them than tends to be in male characters. There is more room to stand out with the good she mentions here. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio&lc=Ugx0-Sejfn7pLdgpkqR4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260210 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-11 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Dusk-v7n AUTHOR_ID: UCbOqcbDj_e8M9H1EALOxsaA TEXT: 1:10 in before.

Unfortunately, it seems that Games Workshop has been infiltrated by far-left activists who care nothing about the universe and just want to twist and turn it into a reflection of their ideology. Something that just doesn’t fit in the universe: the recent femstodes is a brilliant example of something that just doesn’t fit in the lore, and as soon as you think about it just a bit, it falls apart. And I fear it will enter the game as well. (Long rant coming; you can ignore it if you don’t care.) In the lore, the 10,000 Custodes are the personal bodyguards of the Emperor. They are recruited from the sons of the Terran nobility, as a kind of honor they can’t refuse and as a hostage. The idea is, if you start a revolution, the ones coming to kill you and destroy the revolution are none other than your own son. The crafting of Custodes is different from Space Marines. With Space Marines, they are taken as young pre-teens and, through various implantations and surgeries, are transformed into Space Marines. The process is grueling, and not many survive: out of 500 aspirants, only 48 survived to become Scouts (a Space Marine usually starts off as a Scout before eventually becoming a full Space Marine). Yet, the failure rate is as nothing compared to becoming a Custodes. Custodes are recruited as babies and, through genecrafting, are turned into Custodes. The process of genecrafting one into a Custodes requires pure DNA—meaning DNA that hasn’t been exposed to radiation, chemical spills, and doesn’t have excessive mutations. This is why the noble sons of Terra are the ones who are recruited: their DNA is much purer than that of the ordinary human on Terra. The sheltered and privileged lives of their parents have made it so that their genes are free of mutations and close to baseline human, and thus perfect for becoming Custodians. According to Grok, there are around 20,000 noble families in the world today. If we take the same amount, if not more, existing in the 40k universe, there would be a limited stock to go around. When the Emperor of Mankind was still around, he managed to make about 10,000, and even with his abilities, he could only make around 12 each year—so one each month. Even then, the failure rate was high, and many an aspirant would die. During the Horus Heresy and the war in the Webway, the Custodes were reduced from 10,000 to only 1,000 survivors at the end of the Horus Heresy. With the Emperor interred on the Golden Throne, the knowledge of how to create Custodes was partially lost. New ones could still be made, but the failure rate was much higher than with the Emperor: instead of one per month, now it’s one per year, and it is only recently that the Custodes are once again complete with 10,000. Now, what does all of this have to do with femstodes? Well, can men get pregnant? No, they can’t—only biological women can do that. A village of 10,000 women and 250 men can replenish their numbers in a generation. A village of 10,000 men and 250 women will need several generations to do the same. This is the same reason why you usually don’t recruit women for the military unless it is absolutely needed. Same thing here: if you start taking the infant girls, who is left to give birth to the next generation? Who will raise them? Given the high number of fatalities in creating a Custodes, if you started to recruit women, you would, within a few generations, completely exterminate all the nobility of Terra and your stock of pure genes needed for the creation of new Custodes. Especially since they now have left the Imperial Palace and are fighting in the new crusade. Also, it takes a lot of resources to create a Custodes. Here, biology comes into play: women are generally physically weaker than men when it comes to strength and stamina. So, in order to get a woman up to a point where she can go toe-to-toe with the men, a lot of extra resources would be needed. Why spend all those extra resources to bring a single woman up to her male counterpart when the same amount could be used to create 2 male Custodes, if not more? So there, femstodes doesn’t make any sense, nor would female Space Marines. (The YouTuber The Pontius has made an excellent video on why it would be a disaster in lore if female Space Marines were to exist.) All this is to say, I fear for the future of 40k in video games, as all this “woke” crap infesting the 40k lore and miniature games will creep into video games. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio&lc=Ugw28jMz_RzM-qRys1V4AaABAg.AT2lEwOTcihAT3XMQo3szU UPLOAD DATE: 20260210 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-11 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Nonsense010688 AUTHOR_ID: UCFEAL1lr2gNfGcNc6dCCDWA TEXT: The Imperium casually throws women in the Imperial Guard, Navy, or pretty much any other combat organisation, safe SM.

The Imperium does use women but only in the most dire of circumstances where there is no other option. If you have two planets where where lets say 20.000 men and women in equal amount live so 10k of each. One world takes 9750 men and on the other it 9750 women. Which of the two planets will replenish their ranks the fastest? The imperium needs bodies to defend them. So they will take women if the option is either a weak military or let some women serve in the military, but have it full strength. also the navy, and the imperial guards have much lower casualties in the making of new troopers. With the Custodes there is a huge failure rate as said before it took 10k years for them to return to full strength. So that means out of a pool of perhaps 10.000 if not more so noble sons only 1 survived. Now take in women and remember Custodes are sterile. How will that noble family carry on their legacy? They have no girls neither does 90% of the other noble families because all their girls died in trying to become custodian and the one that succeeded well she´s sterile now and as the Emperor´s bodyguard she certainly isn´t going to marry nor have nay children. So no children meaning the family will die out.

Games Workshop is a (periodically rather greedy) for profit company, that is all. It isn't some evil Marxist fifth columnist conspiracy in corporate form. Maybe take a step back, stop obsessing with the idea that the sky is falling for a minute, and look at what GW has actually done. Not what you assume or fear they will do, not what ideology you imagine they subscribe to, but the actual, objectively viewed actions they have demonstrably undertaken. Now ask yourself - do those actions look like a Far Left wing conspiracy? Have female Custodians been depicted as 'girl bosses' inherently physically or intellectually superior to their male Custodian counterparts by simple virtue of being female? No, they haven't. Have they been depicted as more moral or in any way better people than their male contemporaries by dint if being female? Again, no they haven't. Are they depicted as always being in the right, with only crude caricatures of misogynists even capable of imagining disagreeing with them? Nope, we are now three for three. So if female Custodians are not being written in a way that implies an objectionable political agenda on the part of the writers, then the problem you have is with the brute fact that female Custodians exist in the fiction at all. It can't the same sort of thematic issue that could be a problem if there were female Astartes (that would undermine the whole core dysfunctional fathers and sons theme the Astartes, Primarchs and the Emperor have had going on since the Horus Heresy), so we really are left with a straight forward objection to women existing as transhuman super soldiers anywhere in the 40K setting at all, for no reason that makes much sense. You pull imaginary figures for the numbers of Terran Noble families out of thin air (and, of all things, Grok) that have no connection to actual in-universe lore and ignore the vastly higher population density of 40K era Terra compared to modern Earth, along with the existence of things like Juvenat treatments that can extend lifespans and procreative windows for both men and women in the setting paired with things like clone offspring, not to mention the clear statement in the lore that recruitment from Terran noble families is not the only means by which Custodians are recruited, with most of the other methods employed being closely guarded secrets, secrets that might allow for, or even sometimes favour, recruiting female Custodians. My favourite of your objections, though, has to be about the 'realism' of enhancing women to be fictional transhuman super soldiers using fictional genetic hyper technology. In a setting full of monsters, reality warping super technology, literal magic, and daemonic extra dimensional beings, the thing that you cannot accept, that fatally breaks your immersion, is the notion of any technology (even though purely imaginary), no matter how advanced, being able to put a fictional genetically enhanced woman on an equal physical footing with a fictional genetically enhanced man without it somehow breaking the (also fictional) space bank. Can't you see how deeply silly that argument is? ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio&lc=Ugw28jMz_RzM-qRys1V4AaABAg.AT2lEwOTcihAT2pV8rZ1sR UPLOAD DATE: 20260210 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-11 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: Sir, this is an Arbys.

Tolkien is also popular and we already have Warhammer fantasy so lets take Dwarves, Elves and orks and do a little sci-fi thingemagic with it. Oh and you know what would be fun if we have had warrior nuns too so lets take them and call them sisters of sin. The orks need a leader one of the guys creating rouge Trader said "i play DnD we made our own ork language and my ork is called "Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka" which means something along the lines of big green ork. Lets add him to the setting as well. That was rogue trader. A sort of test run or prototype if you want of Warhammer 40.000 Then came second and third edition in which they took the prototype and fixed it into what it became with Warhammer 40.000 An inherent Right wing setting. With an Imperium under constant siege, dying eldar, the chaos gods, chaos space marines, Dark Eldar, and the orks. Later down the line came Necrons though at the beginning they where just a few models with little lore other than they came from nowhere and attacked we don´t know who they are. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQ4z7luzio&lc=Ugw28jMz_RzM-qRys1V4AaABAg.AT2lEwOTcihAT57RDnm7_Z UPLOAD DATE: 20260210 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-12 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @i.cs.z AUTHOR_ID: UCciU1bvnsNPqDCbK3l0pftw TEXT: ​​ @Erikjust  That has literally nothing to do with what I said, 0 things.

As said Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka was NOT meant as a yab to Margret Thatcher his creator have debunked this. As said he was taken from a DnD campaign they played and his name was taken from an ork languge they made up. his name was more or less big green ork. The orks where taken since they already had orks in their Warhammer Fantasy and Tolkien was popular at the time so they took the elves, dwarfs, and orks and did some sci-fi thingemagik on them and they became sci-fi orks. As for Starship Troopers left right, what they took from it was the Space Marines in power armor from it. that was all. As said Rogue Trader the first rulebook, can be boiled down to we take what is popular at the moment in sci-fi and generally add a little 80s edge to it put it all in a blender and pour it out on the page.

So there was a cultural rejection of MLP that probably smoothed out the potential issues bronies might have faced otherwise. Also OG MLP was not the empty substance devoid thing it became known as, much like He-Man is largely thought of as just a glorified toy ad. Yes there is that obviously, but there was something to the writing. I won't go into a plot recap here though for time sake. Nostalgia's a hell of a drug sure but that doesn't keep a supposedly nothing toy ad going for decades. Loved Gem as a kid to btw. 👍 As someone that doesn't engage in the lore much I find it endlessly odd that people try to transplant their politics into a setting that even on a surface read is not something you'd ever want to be compared to. Like how Trump was being connected to the Emperor by his supporters as if they didn't grasp that the Emperor is basically the biggest fool in the setting. Man lives for millennia and never learned how to human. Also he only has two arms rather than four, which is the correct number of arms a functional and affective leader needs. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHWNvqzulFM COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHWNvqzulFM&lc=UgzQOl7MGlL2l8SPhZl4AaABAg.ATSpLlJskCzATTOJM2Ko5- UPLOAD DATE: 20260220 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-21 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ethankrauss3826 AUTHOR_ID: UCOs5YcObxRf6sZeMfm4ChrQ TEXT: Not to mention the emperor is basically a deathless corpse in constant pain, not exactly what I want to compare Trump to if I were a supporter (I'm definitely not).

The Emperor, genius that he is, decided to tell him "nah your doing the legion thing" and left with Angron.

As an Adult you like commissioner Gordon because he's out there every day with some dude in a Bat costume running round after a guy dressed up as a clown and Gordon is just trying to get through the day and do his damn job".

Was worth pointing that out, but at the same time, this new reframing also doesn't get the candid thoughts of these people. Logistics of talking to people in another country aside, it's good to know what people actually think and not just assume they're all the same because of their class or income level.

A lot of kicking yourself for not succeeding not even realizing that you forgot you were better off not trying to step up to it in the first place.

Because nowadays all it is either just sensationallized fearmongering, or just heavily slanted rhetoric. Even most "independent" sources are just heavily one-sided opinion pieces that seems to be more focused on griping about how the side they oppose is so comedically inept/cartoonishly evil and all the ways they're destroying society. (Basically, that brand of Coke vs Pepsi, SNES vs Genesis, Autobots vs Decepticons tribalism.) Either that, or more focued on wallowing in self-indulgent doomerism. Because the truth of the matter is, most people are more concerned about validating their confirmation biases, than seeking out the objective truth. It shouldn't be unreasonable to just want to just toss out the news for a while, and not be constantly bombarded with all ways the world is constantly on fire, and just have an escape.(That's my problem with the "All media is political" way of thinking, but that's a different story) Obviously, I'm not advocating swinging too hard into "Leopards eating my face" style apathy, or just completely ignoring reality. Nor am I saying that Civil disobedience is never justified. At the same time, News overwhelm is a legitimate issue and shouldn't just be dismissed as "privlidged people looking for justification to not give a care". That's my main problem with this sort of performative outrage based online armchair activism. It's this constant expectation of "You're not allowed to take breaks, and if you're not constantly reposting every travesty as soon as it's reported, you're part of the problem". At least I give the people who are actually out there protesting credit, they're at least trying to do something, all the armchair activists are doing are just doomposting but with extra steps. My key takeaway is; you do what you can. Help those around you, do small acts of kindness along the way, and maybe that could ripple out and inspire others to do good. The domino effect doesn't always have to be negative. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leDYZV6dX-E COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leDYZV6dX-E&lc=Ugw63JN2zqOWDk_jPEN4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260127 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-01 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @michaellewis1545 AUTHOR_ID: UCz_-lre8IsZv1nPr-xgfeAQ TEXT: If anyone is feeling the need to do something, I highly recommend getting involved with local groups.

Of course, not all immigration is bad. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bOT_MAvqx8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bOT_MAvqx8&lc=UgwLRtVCtbvAIk1frUJ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250912 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @GarethOfByzantium AUTHOR_ID: UC-4q_I29Dc9eQRN1CqtAVTg TEXT: 9:57 The Right isn’t interested in keeping anyone but children safe, and even then… ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bOT_MAvqx8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bOT_MAvqx8&lc=UgzWYGPDESxY22WzCel4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250912 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @GarethOfByzantium AUTHOR_ID: UC-4q_I29Dc9eQRN1CqtAVTg TEXT: 8:20 Please allow me to express my gratitude to you for saying this. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bOT_MAvqx8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bOT_MAvqx8&lc=UgxYrME8NRzdtGMOQwx4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250912 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @GarethOfByzantium AUTHOR_ID: UC-4q_I29Dc9eQRN1CqtAVTg TEXT: 5:52 It’s been reassuring to see the progressives who WERE shaken up about the assassination, in spite of how much they disliked him and his views. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bOT_MAvqx8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bOT_MAvqx8&lc=UgzfhQ9uegKcPm_Eifx4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250912 COMMENT DATE: 2025-10-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @GarethOfByzantium AUTHOR_ID: UC-4q_I29Dc9eQRN1CqtAVTg TEXT: 1:06 Valid point. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bOT_MAvqx8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bOT_MAvqx8&lc=UgxqRxr8t2e67m4EOC94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250912 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @GarethOfByzantium AUTHOR_ID: UC-4q_I29Dc9eQRN1CqtAVTg TEXT: Thank GOD for KPop Demon Hunters!

My experience with most things in 'the discourse' is that no matter what side is talking the framing / lens used is one of: what could be taken from us, what could be done to harm us, what can we do the protect against harm. It's a built in splitting of the world into 'us' vs the people that wish us harm. I think that these kind of framings matter because (in my opinion) we often use sets of dichotomies like this to understand the world we live in and to inform what choices we make (at the individual, group and political level). I wish we could introduce new framings and have those framings gain traction over what we currently have. What you say at 31:08 is something I have felt for a long time. I've felt that 'debate' as used in YouTube videos and debating societies at schools & universities has really been something completely different to useful political discussion. 'Debate' in the YouTube & debating society sense has always seemed to me to be a rhetoric and sophistry skill where the aim is to beat the other side rather than the aim being to find the truth or a way to make progress on an issue. That skill is not without its uses and is something which takes effort and talent to build but is distinct to actually solving problems or at least trying to find steps to take that can improve situations.(I understand that an argument exists that two sides equally skilled in rhetoric will be forced to reach the 'truth' in a debate setting due to both sides being too capable to risk trying a 'gotcha' style argument but in practice I think that this ignores the practical reality of debates when we are talking about serious issues. Do we want charisma, popularity, wealth & relative power to be factors in what is decided as truth? While this is to some extent inevitable, given we know the flaws of these kinds of debates isn't it worth trying to shift the paradigm to try and make these debates more helpful for all of us?)

We've gone from "punch a Nazi" to "shoot a conservative" in barely a decade. What's next? "Bomb a centrist"? I don't care what Kirk said or how he conducted his discussions - the simple fact for me is that he showed up with a table, a chair and a microphone and he got shot dead for it. For the longest time, the left's rhetoric has been "no common ground with fascists" (i.e. everyone to the right of Mao). Now, the consensus on the right is rapidly becoming, "no common ground with evil" (i.e. the left). And while Kirk was more hardline right than a lot of rightwing pundits would have you believe, he was still "the guy with the mic" as far as they were concerned. The fact that, at the time of posting, it has now been confirmed that the shooter was trans-adjacent antifa, my fear is that things are only going to escalate further.

About 10-15 years ago, a science fiction writer named Benjanun Sriduangkaew, writing under the pseudonym Requires Hate, engaged in online bullying and harassment of other science fiction writers, complete with insults name-calling, telling them they write garbage and should be ashamed of their writing careers, and other bullying behaviour. When Requires Hate's real identity got exposed, she became a pariah in the writing field -- except amongst very left-wing writers. She submitted a story to an anthology I was editing, but not only did she send her story, she got a very left-wing PoC writer to send me an email telling me that Ms. Sriduangkaew was not a bully but rather, a woman of colour showing assertiveness against white privilege, and that I, as another writer of colour, should buy her story.

Unfortunately, this sort of bullying behavior is something that was exacerbated by whole "Anti Safe space" push from the previous decade(And I know the hardline left is just as guilty of mob tactics as the antiwoke crowd, but the point stil remains the same.) Where it's like "We reserve the right to be as the absolute worst and vile versions of ourself and stoop to flinging insults at people we disagree with, and anyone who has a problem with it is just an oversensitive snowflake who needs to get over themselves." Likewise, responses to online bullying are more or less seen as these big performative mellowdramatic "Leave Britney alone" style meltdowns. And that's not a good thing. Unfortnuately, the minute you try to confront someone on bullying behavior, they fly off the handle, and accuse you of supressing their free speech. Now don't get it twisted, I'm as "rah rah free speech" as much as the next guy, and I agree that policing the internet to curb bullying can have a dangerous ripple effect that could inpact even the most joe average citizen.(Don't want to swing too hard into punishing people for thoughtcrimes.) At the same time, Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consiquences. If these people are going to act toxc, they shouldn't act shocked when the consiquences of their actions come back to haunt them. Likewise, another bullying tactic to be aware of is coersion and peer pressure. As I observed from last week, these people seem to be primairly concerned about having an outlet for their outrage, and see you as a validation for that base primal urge, and the minute you don't yeild; they accuse you of "betraying" them, and fly off the handle. That's the big problem with alot of these online movements, that alot of them hinge on that "With us or against us" mentality, where it seems like they're more concerned about having an army of proxy soldiers and expendable pawns to hide behind, then actually putting in the effort to make meaningful change. It's all one big self-fufilling prophecy, like an Oroboros eating it's own tail. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8A6YuK2tcC4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8A6YuK2tcC4&lc=UgzUhTtddDKwUhF0LpZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250716 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @PostmortemVideo AUTHOR_ID: UCYJA2v0ZsG5yMM3fUIkip2A TEXT: I have been attacked by wingnut 'bros' for not having had kids, and I was a sperm donor for some years and may well have more children than they do.

And the story culminated in this slippery slope where she kept having to justify his callous behavior. But what started as just a random act by him soon became supportive evidence that all men are emotionless. To which, I finally had to chime in “Uh, excuse you?” Which elicited a giggle from everyone else. “Well, you know what I mean,” is all she could say in response. Before carrying on as though I’d said nothing.

This comes from their 3-times higher concentration of oxytocin. Women tend to communicate more emotionally than men: when they say something, it is mainly meant to make you feel something, so if a man says something that makes a woman feel something, they think the feeling is his intention. If he says something that makes her feel bad, she assumes that he wants to hurt her.

So women who don't like men (or at least profess not to) are centered and amplified two ways online.

Maybe you have some envy to work through. 🤷‍♂ Fliting is potentially a problem at work or spaces you have a tough time avoiding that person, and some - especially physical - compliments or moves give a lot of people the ick. Giving someone genuine compliments about what they do or their personality (what they value) are usually a safe way to start flirting. People are different, so you need to talk to and date people to know what they like or how they'll respond. It's vibes.

I'm not expecting mind reading, just not pressuring people to act like a sit-com construction worker, and instead to rely on common conversation skills that show interest. There are aps and websites where you can talk to people before you date them if that's a concern of yours, and getting to know people is why you date them: so less of a "catch 22" and more of a consider your options. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtPEkuQaKCo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtPEkuQaKCo&lc=UgyQr9Tz_uq9QjNPug54AaABAg.AC7G8fAjmArACBWERXF4sm UPLOAD DATE: 20241216 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @gundamforreal AUTHOR_ID: UCxfD4GUd6h7DrTM7kg9BYLw TEXT:  @l01230123  I agree with you completely on practical compliments, but the earlier point remains that if it comes from an unattractive / unwanted source then it will still be viewed unfavourably. You bring up beauty standards again, but that's not all there is to it about attraction; you can probably imagine scenarios where good looking guys pay women compliments and are still thought to be creepy. Even the opposite, or anywhere in between for queer and non binary fellas, can often be true. As you said, people are different, so in the same vein they'll also find different things / behaviours creepy or not. And to find out where you stand between the two for each individual, beyond mind reading the immediately obvious option is trial and error or straight up asking, which is liable to failing the vibe check, and therefore relegated to creepy, this time near universally. On the point of apps or online, maybe this is a cultural thing, but I'm having difficulty imagining that interaction being short enough to not involve any flirting or paying compliments at all before the face-to-face date. Heck, it's liable to end before anything else happens, nevermind flirting or dating. But this is all tangential to the main point of whether flirting is considered harassment being based on vibes. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtPEkuQaKCo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtPEkuQaKCo&lc=Ugzf1BjjZ2cMg8GKp_d4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241216 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @BetterWithBob AUTHOR_ID: UC9hTzXnwFm5KrtdC-_z9tBw TEXT: There used to be a class I went to (you know the one) and there was a girl who attended for a couple months, and she was non-stop drama.

I immediately looked away and she started joking "you can look" or something like that.

The driver was about to make him leave despite the bad weather, when I came forward with the difference of what the young man owed. I invited him to sit near me so I could make sure he knew the bus system well enough to get where he was going. He then went on a full-on charm offensive, getting very flirty very fast. I say, "young man" but if he were a day over 16, I'd be very surprised. I was just like, "Whoa! First off, I don't believe you are 18, let alone anywhere near my age so this is not appropriate. Second off, I'm very happily married. I paid part of your fare to help a fellow public transit user. I don't expect or want anything." His predominant emotion was actually relief. I helped him sort out the final leg of his trip and we went our seperate ways. Had I been a different person and taken advantage of that situation, it would not have mattered that he instigated. My age, comparative economic power (and incidentally race as I can't be sure but the kid looked like he might be indiginous) put the ball in my court in terms of acting responsibly. The factors that mattered least in that situation were sex and gender. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtPEkuQaKCo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtPEkuQaKCo&lc=UgwRMuCfL-OgNBLaSOZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241216 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @edmundolastra3279 AUTHOR_ID: UCvXXAoQAJJcxTX37VTifSOA TEXT: We should all be so lucky as to have someone like Liana in our corner.

It really shouldn't be that controversial of a statement in this day and age to say that "Sexual harassment is wrong, no matter who's doing it". But unfortunately it's hard to have that conversation without it devolving into yet another gender war shouting match. Not to mention it's one of those trappings of the man box where it seems like men in that situtation feel like they have no choice but to tolerate such unwanted advances, or be seen as less of a man for it. Seriously, if we're going to make strides towards gender equality, we need to also realize that equal rights means equal consiquences for such actions. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtPEkuQaKCo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtPEkuQaKCo&lc=Ugya-HGDjwyOnPYR6aN4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241216 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @duncanbrennan1275 AUTHOR_ID: UCqVl8XK9AkDh5gv24RYneZA TEXT: I’m still in the process of watching the video, I’m at the 17:18 mark. The TL;DR is that even in the military, where there are clear rules and regulations regarding to sexual harassment, if a male reports harassment, the report dies instantly. During my deployment to Afghanistan 2012-2013, my officer in charge (OIC), and another officer, both female created a monstrously hostile work environment. There was routine denigration, comments about my appearance, undermining of my expertise, and appointments that were made behind my back that were not communicated. In one particular incident, I was given instructions that wound up getting me in trouble with the THEATER command level (3-star general). I was lucky enough to have a brigade commander that asked me what was going on, and I was able to clear the air. This went on for months. I went to my brigade equal-opportunity NCO to report the hostile work environment. Even when corroborated by two senior NCOs (one male, one female), the company commander (male officer) immediately blamed me for the hostile work environment. Even though I went to behavioral health due to the stress, the company commander’s only concern was that I would harm the two officers, and floated the idea of punishing me. I nearly lost my Army career because I reported sexual harassment. Thank you so much for doing this video and reporting what you saw. It means the world to me that you stood up for him. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtPEkuQaKCo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtPEkuQaKCo&lc=UgwQ7zv4Sz2CCPUAFFx4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241216 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ciscodeer9094 AUTHOR_ID: UCh5xjLeogbllhMLOUPYLPOg TEXT: I'd ask who the actress is ? but I don't want to know. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtPEkuQaKCo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtPEkuQaKCo&lc=UgxNXUiF_qocKZvznvh4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241216 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @neilvarma AUTHOR_ID: UC_9bX8q25qDIzzL9LSL07JQ TEXT: In my experience.

(A term usually reserved for the euphemism treadmill, but the concept also applies to hyperbole, insults, etc) What once was just something you liked became something that's "good for you". Then it became "self care" . Then "therapy". Eventually it may become something else, as the term "therapy" gets more diluted. More to the point: I worry that muddying the line between actual therapy and "therapy" ultimately condones self-medication for dealing with serious problems. Not that the idea of self-medication needs any help. We're well beyond "epidemic" in that regard, sadly. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3yUPWYziUU COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3yUPWYziUU&lc=UgzR9Qh8x3ay2-xr-St4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250827 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @VolkColopatrion AUTHOR_ID: UCOVN03HyGARIHShN_n2vbbA TEXT: A friend cannot be a therapist.

All abuse is bad but the kind that requires sustained cruelty, the ability to watch someone suffer over time is the worst & really breaks my heart. Though it is also a good way to cut through DARVO & figure out who the primary abuser is. The person with the more sustained capacity for cruelty. DARVO works because abused people will act out sooner or later, giving the abuser amo to accuse them. But the primary aggressor can be sussed out if you can get on the trail of the longer mean streak. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulN3VvtI_JI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulN3VvtI_JI&lc=UgygIUe1uQ6-aWnNZiZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250212 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @hanasfavsong AUTHOR_ID: UCHg7cp_N923SDooPeFhPwHA TEXT: Very insightful video.

(And he imagines her pushing her chair back with a groan of exasperation. "THIS guy...!") When I said "I recognize you have good intentions", I meant that. I recognize that you're touching on subjects that a lot of people either won't, or will happily parrot whatever through-line is popular on the Interwebs without much actual thought. I appreciate that. I also get the impression that you're speaking, often for half an hour, without a script; maybe some notes, or an outline, or bullet-points that you want to hit. Whereas I am writing a few lines into YouTube, and STILL often having to come back and edit because I left fragments of an earlier thought/sentence in the midst of a newer one, leaving mangled syntax. There is room for mis-interpretation; that's kind of the point. ...I can also only work with what is actually said, which is also kind of the point. Constantly having to do mental gymnastics to make something okay is a bad sign. When you talk about your "non-white" friends making comments about white people, and excluding yourself from what they say, for example, it sounds as though you're either suggesting that's how other people, e.g. men, should behave in a similar situation... Or that you don't actually think men's situation is comparable at all. Personally, I obviously think there are parallels, though it's certainly not some kind of 1-1 comparison. But that's a whole other discussion. When, around 6:39, talking about sex-typicality, when you say, "Therefore, you go, 'why do guys do this', it's really only 75% of guys who do this"... Sigh. I know you're throwing out kind of a flippant statistic, but assigning a number as though there's an acceptable number of people to make broad, and likely harsh, assumptions about? Yes, our primate brains love to turn our experiences with members of a particular group into "all", especially if those experiences cause strong emotions. But it's not about the number, it's about all the members of that group the person hasn't met, hasn't had an experience with- at least when we can climb out of our primate brains enough to try to have something resembling a civilization. Between 14:00 and 16:00 you talk about trying opening a conversation with humor, and "a lot of guys" feeling "self conscious, or weird, or different"... Yes, I've also re-directed things with humor; it's a stock way to try to make uncomfortable conversation bends palatable. But much beyond feeling that I'm being made to feel "out-group" by not fitting into someone else's description of a group I'm clearly in, there's a real sense that this kind of thing can be an exercise in power. (Note, "can be", not "always is".) "I can say this thing in front of someone who I do recognize is a member of this group, and they cannot refute or complain about it, therefore, I have power over them." That isn't particular to women, or "feminine" ways of social operation. It's just an ugly, human power dynamic. I can, perhaps, spare my own friendships with social humor ju-jitsu. But it doesn't mean it won't happen again, it doesn't make the person who made that unfortunate statement any more likely to stand up when someone else makes a similar statement, it doesn't change any of the high-minded people on social media "basking in male tears", and ultimately, and perhaps most frighteningly, the mind I'm most likely to change is my own, shifting sideways to make way for other people's bull charges and assuming that since I'm making way for them , they must be the ones in the right. "If we could just let women get in people's faces, fewer men would be subject to Safe Target Syndrome"... In one sense, sure. If a woman could limit their anger to their stupid ex, or their father, or Elon Musk, or whatever, maybe there would be less "it's okay to spread this anger, which only seems to grow, over a much larger target group". But I also think of a recent incidence of a female friend saying we need "more feisty women", and thinking how tired I am of "feisty" people sucking all the air out of the room. I'm starting to wish we put less emphasis on "speaking your truth" and more on listening, recognizing it isn't always your turn to talk, showing other people basic respect and courtesy, and expecting the same in return. More lauds for people being thoughtful and well-spoken, and less for being "courageous", in a very limited, self-serving definition of the term. Having said all that, I'm going to show a shred of self-awareness, and shut up, now. If what I wrote before caused you distress, please know that that was not my intention. I cannot apologize for saying something 'to your face', but I did not, and do not, wish you stress or turmoil as a result of saying it, and if it has, for that, I am sorry. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyODlAZjwgY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyODlAZjwgY&lc=Ugza47623Nb6wiP0zK54AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241202 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ciscodeer9094 AUTHOR_ID: UCh5xjLeogbllhMLOUPYLPOg TEXT: No women will ask me that. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyODlAZjwgY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyODlAZjwgY&lc=Ugy-OczVDTLHqdIFiBN4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241202 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @winterburden AUTHOR_ID: UCiYcyVChRv8qJ8lsNRfDFnA TEXT: Happy Monday! ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyODlAZjwgY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyODlAZjwgY&lc=Ugyhzo8TB0N3sI_oO154AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241202 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TobiasReiner-o8g AUTHOR_ID: UCce7m5kqK3-ZN0oX64G5Ztg TEXT: When she talks about her friends of other races, I'm immediately reminded to never make friends with people of other races, because that just sounds totally unhealthy to me.

It's unfortunate because self-restraint is still an important virtue for people to practice. It's just we've gone overboard with it. We're only taught to understood self-restraint as a cage. Something to be closed and locked. To hide away the fear, sadness and shame and to forget them. As You said "to protect the world from myself". I hope we can start to teach men to understand self-restraint as more like the restraints of a yolk or harness. Something you put on when the time calls for it. A tool to be used and removed when it's no longer needed. Part of an ongoing process. We're never taught that self-restraint should happen on an as needed basis.

Bisected family (e.g. divorce)? That means putting on two masks--one for mom, the other for dad. Personality type clashing with students? An introvert being forced to speak often or do "group work" for too long can get frustrated and drained, especially if there's no meaningful, productive result from it. History of psychiatric illness among family? This isn't a foretelling of absolute doom, but genetics and acute cases make it harder--but not impossible--to relate and function. Ask him questions. I can only politely envision him being this way through an underlying trauma you did not account for because he didn't share it--something from school, maybe; hence, the counseling. My personal favorite is being burdened with innumerable obligations that interfere with what someone wants to do--the endless cork-board tripwires between urgent and important against desirable and reasonable. Often, what sets a guy on fire is the assumption that one couplet is meaningless while others deem his goals likewise without considering his position--for him, the obligations; for others, his dreams. So, knowing that (assuming you know your grandson well enough), you have to ask, "Why choose that dream?" Does he have a dream? He's Gen-Z, so wealth and property-building rights and opportunities are utterly scant compared to previous generations--that can play a part. Of course, ask yourself first, "Why should he be obligated to do this-and-that for me/him/her/others?" If such demands tax him enough, he may withdraw or take up a vice to chill the pain and blow time to heal, which delays the obligations and dreams while conjuring yet another problem. A lot of 12-step group members got there because of an addiction wrought from boredom. Putting aside mental illnesses and placing ambition and personal empowerment based on one's strengths front and center is perhaps the best way to sidestep or overcome any maturity issue, so making good decisions on what to do while fulfilling reasonable obligations will help your kid out of whatever rage episode he's under. Done well, this can be amazing, like George Bailey. Or, it can be completely retarded, like Goofus & Gallant. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSKirVfP3bc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSKirVfP3bc&lc=UgyUn2bprGrRYGRjcnl4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250618 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Aries73 AUTHOR_ID: UCXcjFnRxCrfoPY-QIu5fKsw TEXT: This is why I have come to see gender war extremists as two sides of a toxic coin that seek to dehumanize each other, with the ready of us getting caught in all kinds of crossfire from these echo chambers. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSKirVfP3bc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSKirVfP3bc&lc=Ugx5k7GoT5o3NRC1Usd4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250618 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @edmundolastra3279 AUTHOR_ID: UCvXXAoQAJJcxTX37VTifSOA TEXT: I need to come back to this one when I'm not putting out fires at work.

Where showing any sort of emotional vunariblity is seen as indicitive of a lack of masculinity and/or male entitlement/male tantrums being normalized. And even divorcing that from the gender war, I often get the feeling that I shouldn't burden people with my emotional problems because they probably already have alot on their plate as is, and I don't want to be seen as just needlessly adding to that pile. It's one of those no-win double jeopardy outcomes where one is just left floundering with no where to turn. Now I totally agree, that one shouldn't just go up to some random stranger and just start unloading a mound of severe emotional and traumatic baggage onto them completely umpromted, and no one is under any obligation to play makeshift therapist. At the same time, we shouldn't ust leave people completely high and dry with no real suport. Likewise, again you're spot on with the people who are obsessed with pirsuing a "Hot" partner.

Some of the concepts are flawed but really it mostly just needs a rebrand. Preferably the rebrand would make an effort to weed out bad actors to prevent it from being poisoned too. I guess what I'm saying is it's basically impossible to make effective arguments if a large percentage of people will just wright you off the instant you use the name of a concept you're arguing in favor of. How a word makes people feel is important if you're trying to make persuasive arguments. Thats why ad agencies actually have lists of good and bad words to use if you're trying to engage certain audiences. Edit: also I forgot to mention.

For the non snarky response I feel I should elaborate, I'm tired of being told to be the force for change for others because others refuse to be part of that change. One of the examples I used was the "Women should feel safe to walk home through dark parks and alleys alone at night....... and it's mens Job to do that" with the expectation that men will patrol the night and shadows like Batman making sure there are no men with bad intentions able to act on them. The issue being this also comes with generally the people calling for it going "What you expect me to carry Pepper Spray or Ink spray or a personal safety alarm or take personal self defence classes? That's victim blaming I shouldn't have to do that". There's only so much that can be expected but it seems more is forever being expected by some so yeh as you've said Liana before the left needs to centre good men, hell even good enough men rather than men expected to be perpetually doing Dragon Ball power scaling because there's limits without being Billionaires who can dress up as Bats and patrol the night because we don't have the luxury to get up at 2pm after having patrolled all night.

This was considered a part of our grade. Not only our performance in the studio but our participation as audience members, as we were expected to provide productive feedback with some regularity. It was interesting to see some people’s interpretation of this. Some would treat the singer with kiddie gloves, as they themselves have been in that position recently and they understand how vulnerable the singer is in that moment. Some would be pretty brutal, because they could take it so the singer should be able to as well. You’d actually learn to follow the flow of input, as the teacher made it clear that she didn’t want a feedback session to become heavily biased. Overly negative sessions, she refered to as “feeding frenzies” and overly positive ones were “lovebombing.” She was training us to keep our feedback balanced between those two points. And the only way you could do that was by paying attention to what others were saying. Even if your own feedback hit the same notes, you could still present it in a way that shifted the momentum of the tone and kept a balance. This was a valuable skill to pick up and I don’t think it’s one that’s often thought of or talked about. It’s all just “I feel this way, so I’m gonna say my peace and that’s that.” When sometimes just tuning in to what everyone else is saying can help you frame your own argument to make it a bit more compelling or even change the tone of the conversation. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9UEoss3JTs COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9UEoss3JTs&lc=UgxQmfy6AY5eWIk43Xt4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250514 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TheArceusftw AUTHOR_ID: UCynpVSnrzeDrdMqNSOHzCNQ TEXT: I'm calling it now, the comments are going to be flooded by a bunch of people who kneejerk and assume you've fallen to the dwork side because you called out toxic behavior.

Hypothesis: I think the problem some people have with DEI is less what the data shows and more anecdotes. Some bad actors have leveraged the ideals of DEI to be exclusionary. I've even been so unlucky myself as to see internal processes use it as part of a screening process to remove potential applicants. This is Liana's and my shared country even. Granted it doesn't affect me, but it breaks my heart when I see well meaning, capable and qualified employees loose these opportunities because they don't meet requirements that are supposed to be protected grounds. I can't blame those people for getting angry at the mere concept of DEI. I am tremendously sorry you got so much hate Liana. I could kinda see it coming but I thought it was a great joke.

Though I'm not sure what to think about that bit on necessary faults, or "it needed to happen" as it's been put. That sounds like intending, and therefore not sorry, about the initial action taken, but sorry that it spiralled out of control because the consequence was worse than intended. Maybe I'm not fully getting it, but it's giving me mixed feelings. Although the first half of the video did reinforce my thoughts on the need for there to be a better distinction between "my bad" and "feels bad, man" for the phrase "I'm sorry".

And how one chooses to react to such should be a case by case basis. Because I'm a firm believer that not every apologize deserves forgiveness, and no one is under any true obligation to forgive anyone. On the flip side, I agree that people take Not forgiving someone to a petty extreme. Especially from the type of people who love to use every past mistake no matter how big or small against someone as a cudgle. These are the people who love to preach acountability and demand others be constantly apologetic, yet refuse to hold themselves to their own moral standards, and refuse to own up to their mistakes. And that sort of line of thinking can be used to trap those constantly apologetic due to extreme trauma brain in a negative feedback loop.

Learning accountability is a lot of work, but it keeps the bullshit away. Say your peace whenever you thinkl you need to and don't let someone you never knew or know make you feel like your living a life they created to entrap you in the worst crazy fuckup series of their life. Fuck that! The painting is clear as day and it's extra. Should have never gone this far. People in real life just accept they need to move on or do better. It's really as simple as that. Move on and do better might benefit the next person though, but the message is clear. 👍 ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAiIRXP3F0o COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAiIRXP3F0o&lc=UgwOaSqNJB1gi66Fj8Z4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241218 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @christie_brown AUTHOR_ID: UC0U2jS40vokWPJ-H3fx0U-Q TEXT: It confounds me just how many strangers still fall for the obvious lies from stalker-Chan.

It's really weird to me that people want to blindly assume Zelensky is in the right based on edited footage pushed by establishement news pundits that we KNOW will not give fair shake to anything Trump related, and look for division views by removing context, instead of watching the actual full thing and seeing not only Trump and Vance getting annoyed, but Zelensky REFUSING to discuss in good faith right out the gate. Zelensky got used to people treating him like a prince with the previous admin, and threw a tantrum when the new one didn't, leading to him torpedoing deals his diplomats spent WEEKS putting the work in on. He was trying to appeal to the media in the room, instead of TALKING with the people he was supposed to be negotiating with. It's also far from wrong to point out that Ukraine doesn't really have any negotiating power when it comes to stopping the conflict. That is why Zelensky is begging in Europe and the US for someone else to step in in the first place. God forbid we talk about the fact that Zelensky is himself a dictator who shut down free press and has been conscripting off the street to throw more people into a meat grinder that didn't need to exist in the first place. It's also really disheartening seeing you try to actively label disssenting views from yours as coming from trolls and generally buying the establishement narrative. You were there during gamergate 1.0, you KNOW the establishment narrative is twisted to hell and back. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIWP2SSWm5c COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIWP2SSWm5c&lc=Ugw6IEmj8vnoTzWmbwh4AaABAg.AFIh-6dgnpvAFIyNhgWy_f UPLOAD DATE: 20250305 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ATRStormUnit AUTHOR_ID: UCR3qe2lc8sp4GXaBAWShPTw TEXT: Yeah, no. This is gonna be a waste of time but whatever. I pulled out an unedited version of the interview video and the one that escalated was clearly Vance, after Zelenskyy asked him - very calmly by the way, how you would conduct diplomacy with someone who breaks agreements all the time - and JD immediately accused him of being disrespectful. Maybe he didn't like being called JD by him, although Trump had called him that the whole time (but he can't really tell Trump off when he doesn't like being called that, can he.) I mean, of course JD had no answer to Zelenskyy's questions, so he deflected like a child and got mad when he looked more and more like the hack fraud he is. Instead of the 80s kids movie bully sidekick which seems to be the look he is going for. Also, keep in mind, the interview had gone on for 40 minutes up to this point. A good part of it was Trump rambling about deals and how he wants to be seen as a peace maker and sounding like a middle schooler stumbling through a book report with to finally getting his grade up to a D. After JD started berating him, he basically had only the choice to shrink away or have some self respect, and he chose the latter. Although you could argue that standing up for himself might not have been the best choice diplomatically in the face of a schoolyard bully like Trump. "Treating him like a prince", what? I mean, you can interpret it that way if you want, but that seems to be a deliberate exaggeration. There is a difference in being treated as a partner and being treated like a vassal who you want some protection money (in the form of ores). Appealing to the media, as if Mr. "this is gonna be great television" was above that. The whole thing was a press conference, that's why the media was there! Everything about it was appealing to the media. True, they don't have to power to stop the conflict in a way that does not boil down to surrender, so they look for more international partners, which happens in basically ANY modern war. As if that was in any way the wrong thing to do, especially against an attacker who gleefully announced that he was planning to be a bit genocidal. And this Dictator nonsense is just garbage propaganda. Countries don't usually hold elections during an ongoing invasion. Zelenskyy is still in office because as long as the parliament upholds Martial Law, he can stay. This is in line with the constitution. Unless you meant dictator in the Roman sense, which would be a bit closer to the truth. And to the whole "The establishment narrative" and "edited footage" - thingy? You seem to think that there is either an overarching "narrative" that permeates everything in legacy media or that everyone and everyting labelled "establishment" is automatically deceptive. None of these viewpoints makes one an actual critical thinker. Also, distinguishing a Troll from someone who actually has a genuine dissenting view can be pretty easy at times, especially in a case like this where one side is clearly (let's be generous) way more wrong than the other. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIWP2SSWm5c COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIWP2SSWm5c&lc=Ugw6IEmj8vnoTzWmbwh4AaABAg.AFIh-6dgnpvAFIk4VlmMqu UPLOAD DATE: 20250305 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Ashrubel AUTHOR_ID: UCpdqtQLjtHb0wTvcwBpLvGg TEXT: Holy Russian Bots, Batman! ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIWP2SSWm5c COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIWP2SSWm5c&lc=Ugw6IEmj8vnoTzWmbwh4AaABAg.AFIh-6dgnpvAFImHXFF07o UPLOAD DATE: 20250305 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @jtnachos16 AUTHOR_ID: UCuNEcbLtMwOcrBhUAC44atA TEXT:  @Ashrubel  Thanks for proving my point.

It doesn't help that the more fanatical members of Trump's voter base basically convince themselves that any criticism of Trump or his policies are just "fearmongering Leftist hysteria". And I even have trouble talking about it with people I trust, because I have to convince myself I have to be a trooper, and they already have alot of other issues on their plate and I don't want to burden them with with needing to placate and comfort every fear and insecurity I have. On top of that, I also have these constant thoughts of "I don't want to hate anyone solely based on their polticial leanings." But unfortunately, I'm constantly worried that my ideas are probably will be dismissed as this overly naive idea of everyone holding hands singing kumbaiya, or accused of playing into facist apologia, or suggesting we compromise with outright evil people. And this is why I'm not a fan of the constant purity tests in most leftist circles.(This is also ontop of again, that fear of every past mistake being used against me.) And again, don't get twitsed, I'm not proposing something as overly idealistic is "If we all get along, and have the world be all Sunshine Rainbows, Care Bears and Ponies holding hands singing Kumbiaya, the world will be a better place because love and forgiveness will save the world".

"Genocide, Genocide ........" and "Calling people Incels doesn't give very much" - This is a long running issue of escalation and what I call Sociopathy, just to be clear I define sociopath as some-one who understands other peoples emotional reactions to a pretty deep degree but lacks most basic actual empathy such that they can put on an appearance of caring only to drop it in an instant or will use it to get people to do what they want only rather than show genuine care. As they understand emotions they work to play on them and the more lets say advanced sociopaths are pretty good at hiding. I know I grew up with one who for much of my teen years was claiming to be a friend who I became more aware of over the years was using me for their own ends rather than being an actual friend and watched his actions against others he called friends over that time eventually I ended it by having to cut off contact and he tried to come back and cause trouble for me. Background over onto the point. The point, the whole Genocide thing is just the latest escalation from when it was first sexism, then misogyny and I'm not sure if incel would be the latest evolution but it feels like it. It's words being used with some level of emotional weight that's escalating to use more extreme versions to get people to have a knee jerk emotional reaction and not think things through. It's advertising techniques basically being employed because the human brain is lazy and and so if you lay out a logical path for it it won't question things too much especially if you can frame it in such a way your brain makes the connections rather than a person straight telling you about it. It could be simple brand marketing, Pepsi = the one extreme sports people drink, that was a big successful campaign and at no point did it say "Drinking Pepsi will make you cool and more like a extreme sports star" but the implication was you could be seen that way because said people drink Pepsi. I'm trying hard to think of another as successful example I'm sure there are others maybe Converse and alt / skater culture too? BMW and a fairly well off successful business man? Anyway the issue is and way to stop this because as you said people doing this won't stop it seems, it's to make people aware what is going on, how they're being manipulated by them and stop these techniques and tactics working. It's to use Yahtzee Croshaw's analysis, the man covered in shit technique, no matter how valid an argument a person covered in shit makes and how bad your argument is, people will still see he's covered in shit so think his argument must be flawed because if he was sane he wouldn't be covered in shit. Only in the new cases people are throwing the proverbial shit over others so it's "You're not siding with the incels right?" or "If you don't side with us you support genocide, do you support genocide?" ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMYEwSBHlOo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMYEwSBHlOo&lc=UgyKV9y6dZjIbnRL0il4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250521 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Blunderful_Disasterpiece AUTHOR_ID: UCVpt99B2qL6cigCquIMJkcw TEXT: More often than not, It is the weight of little things that makes life heavy.

There alot of negativity and sorrow in the world, and it does seem like there's alot happening at the same time. And , it does instill a sense of hopelessness. Alot of it again, stems from stuff like the 24 Hour news cycle and curated social media feeds. At the same time, I don't let it get me down, because I tend to not let it get me down because that's just a heavily skewed version of the world. Even in my own life, I don't try to let the world beat me down, because really, lying on your back and drowning in a tar pit of constant misery is just taking the easy way out. Believe it or not, it takes more effort to see that brighter world, and have that sense of optimism and hope. Sadly, these doomer types tend to conflate optimism with blind posititvty, and living in denial prentendng that everything is all Sunshine and Rainbows, Care Bears and Ponies holding hands singing Kumbaiya. While it's important to accept those negative feelings and it's okay to feel blue, it's also important to not let those negative emotions dominate your life. And even if the world's problems seem too big and numerous, that shouldn't stop you from starting small and improving your own quality of life, and helping those arround you. That's true hope, true positivity, true optimism. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMYEwSBHlOo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMYEwSBHlOo&lc=Ugy3l9WdvKl2UzQsw_B4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250521 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ciscodeer9094 AUTHOR_ID: UCh5xjLeogbllhMLOUPYLPOg TEXT: Liana don't quit, fight for what you believe in, even if people like me disagree with you. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMYEwSBHlOo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMYEwSBHlOo&lc=Ugy3l9WdvKl2UzQsw_B4AaABAg.AIOIMZf6h2vAIOJXQrv3m6 UPLOAD DATE: 20250521 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: I don't exist to be your punching bag. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMYEwSBHlOo COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMYEwSBHlOo&lc=Ugy3l9WdvKl2UzQsw_B4AaABAg.AIOIMZf6h2vAIOKktYu4pW UPLOAD DATE: 20250521 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ciscodeer9094 AUTHOR_ID: UCh5xjLeogbllhMLOUPYLPOg TEXT: ​ @RedLianaK punching bag ? how ?

When women take photographs of things or settings, they often incorporate themselves in the picture, invariably showing their faces a fair chunk of the time. However, when men take photographs of things and settings, they are likely not present in the frame. Two possible causes: one, that women tend towards being subjective and men are objective; and/or two, women's proclivity to make themselves the center of attention more often than men. There are obvious exceptions to this trend, of course, but people seek patterns. If something breaks that pattern, we turn and look, pausing everything else as if to assess a possible threat. Temple Grandlin observed this in action when steers marching in tandem would halt to gaze upon a random red Coca-Cola can in the middle of a green grassy field, disrupting the march. Obsessing over patterns is a principal trait of autism as it informs models of predicting social behavior--which explains why people with autism struggle since social dynamics are too diverse to predict. In terms of the trope, it's practically nonexistent in men because men tend to be faceless, anyway. They're the ones who, as Tim jokes, do all the bear-hunting and are expendable, while women have intrinsic value in terms of social survival. Women, by design perhaps, want to make it about themselves and rob the limelight, or so we assume. So, when we see a women who is not only visibly angry--and we contemplate the cause--but goes so far as to shy away from revealing her face, that's supposed to unnerve us. You go from, "Look at me!" says a well-kept, socializing woman, to "Don't look at me!" says an embittered, evasive woman. It elicits mystery, possibly even revulsion. That's why it has reentered works of fiction lately. It's pandering, as you may have guessed, but I suspect the above is its mechanism and origin. It resonates, however, since relationships can go sour through the worry that even a neutral notion suggests a systemic problem, one of which could have been avoided and now jeopardizes everything. The irony of the sad woman sitting in silhouette with hair over face is that the man might wonder if it was something he did that caused the woman to knuckle under so dramatically. The autist hoping to impress someone for a first impression might be horrified from being likewise stonewalled. Women turn into the trope right before their eyes. I know it might sound like it's redirecting the concern over to someone else other than the woman, it's such a hilariously overblown situation that it's unbelievable. So, from that angle, I feel as puzzled about the trope as you are, albeit from another angle. Of all the characters I considered in my own works, not even the introverts exhibited this behavior. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXKKcMKtu1I COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXKKcMKtu1I&lc=UgzA1dFZv7-ElLFG5kV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251208 COMMENT DATE: 2025-12-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @KaiGrant-Maxim-c7v AUTHOR_ID: UCPZTRgRSc1hidwGtf_P-e3g TEXT: It is because men fail to take accountability for their own actions because many of them are 30 year old children. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXKKcMKtu1I COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXKKcMKtu1I&lc=UgxfUPMxUWC2tK783pJ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251208 COMMENT DATE: 2025-12-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @wrmsnicket AUTHOR_ID: UCxSX9m5IhDca6JcBKdh_chQ TEXT: Fun Fact: The trope for a vitriolic fan response to a game not getting a 10/10 from critics is called “8.8,” the specific score being a reference to GameSpot’s review of the original Skyward Sword.

This is an etiquette thing that people instinctively understand perfectly in real life but haven't fully grasped in digital spaces. A DM is basically a closed room. Just like a student talking to a teacher one-on-one that door needs to be wide open. I was a very public face in a lot of large brony groups so I often had underage people sending me direct messages on multiple platforms. I would say one or two responses and answer a quick question but if a conversation starts I would immediately point them to public chats or spaces with other people. It's human nature to chat, but honestly there's nothing wrong with pointing them to public spaces immediately. And I've never had a problem with the kid being shooed into a public space.

It shouldn't be seen as unreasonable to just walk away from someone who is clearly bad medicine for you. Likewise, it pretty much is a case of alot of social pressure where you're just expected to just shovel down a bunch of unfiltered bile no questions asked, and a refusal to capitulate is seen as emblematic of weakness. Likewise, that part about Veilgaurd perfectally encapsulates my feelings on alot of NIntendo discourse in recent years, where it's just a whole mess of just Hardcore Nintendo Fanboys and Nintendo Haters at each other's throats for every little thing. Where you have the Nintendo fanboys treating any criticsm of Nintendo or their practices as a personal attack, giving them way too much leeway for practices other companies would be eaten alive for pulling, and shouting down any critcism as just "hater nonesense", or accusing people of being Playstation or Xbox Fanboys. On the flipside, you have Nintendo haters who treat every decision Nintendo makes that they don't like and sensationalize it like they just declaired WWIII. Going around constantly seeing any sort of hype towards any sort of newest Nintendo release as emblematic of Blind fanboyism and unquestioning consumerism. And they're also quick to dismiss anyone who pokes holes in thier (often emotionally driven) arguements of "Running defense for a multibillion dollar corporation". It's all just one big exercise in horseshoe theory. Alot of bad faith arguments, bold assumptions, alot of argumentative fallicies. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXKKcMKtu1I COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXKKcMKtu1I&lc=UgzUoGlJlmzRGTVykMx4AaABAg.AQU5bSDa3w4AQWvz-j6vFF UPLOAD DATE: 20251208 COMMENT DATE: 2025-12-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ZirconSun AUTHOR_ID: UC5A68Xz9vd9pNuUOTW6GeBw TEXT: Gamergate made it worse ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXKKcMKtu1I COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXKKcMKtu1I&lc=UgykMMcbpfcRwKgBDhZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251208 COMMENT DATE: 2025-12-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @JesseandKainon AUTHOR_ID: UCbK12grpzWlQRb0G3EBGvEQ TEXT: Scout, the purr-machine ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42VfNmHQ3yM COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42VfNmHQ3yM&lc=Ugwq0IoORtsvgJEXEJB4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260105 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @katetoldness4220 AUTHOR_ID: UCchGSmeWzCd8Uf2cED70ezQ TEXT: As much as I love Henry V, (One of my favorites of the Shakesphere histories) it does illustrate or even kind of endorse an all-or-nothing attitude towards change for men.

Those guys who you see are super rip, that is a combination of muscle mas and single digits body fat. So it is possible to be lifting as much as those ripped guys and not look like them. A better metric to see if you are improving is go how much weight you are lifting and how easy or hard it is to lift said weight. Also I do agree with Liana about changing one thing at a time. So I recommend either getting into the habit of going to the gym or changing up your diet to healthier. Since doing both at the same will really throw your body out of wack. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42VfNmHQ3yM COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42VfNmHQ3yM&lc=UgzzKve20xSPbdqrE_R4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260105 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TheArceusftw AUTHOR_ID: UCynpVSnrzeDrdMqNSOHzCNQ TEXT: The trap of "I can't" is a really tricky one to navigate.

I know it's not that easy for everyone and some scars last longer than others, at the same time; sometimes the obvious and simple solution can really go a long way. Obviously that doesn't mean just blindly relying on quick fixes and taking the easy way out for all your problems.

I countered there may be some truth to her bad behavior. I'd recently read the auto biography of Elizabeth Keckley, freed African American woman and dress-maker/confidant of the first lady and even she remarked on Mary's ill-treatment of President Lincoln. Keckley loved Mary Lincoln. She had every reason to. So if even she brought up witnessing abuse, it's pretty good evidence that it occured. One of the women laughed, rolled her eyes and said "Oh, only YOU would read the autobiography of the Lincoln's seamstress!"

You're making yourself emotionally vulnerable. You can't claim you meant something else if you regret what you said. Historically, sex, dating & marriage were all much riskier for women, so it makes sense that they'd be more cautious at expressing their real feelings. The world has changed but old habits die hard. As for men only being catty in romantasy - usually true but I'd say there's significant exceptions. The Pick Up Artist crowd encourages men to adopt typically feminine methods - ambiguity, reverse psychology & other forms of emotional manipulation - to seduce women. You can also see it with edge lords and some fringe political actors - be ambiguous so you can say outrageous things and then cry "just kidding" if you think you've gone too far. Which suggests authors of romantasy have terrible taste in men. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZBTTO2Zc3c COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZBTTO2Zc3c&lc=Ugz16UEDyQLej-pYIzZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250428 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @aspidoscelis AUTHOR_ID: UCpCfL2eEQ9jAjjhYIscmXzQ TEXT: I mean...

It doesn't usually go deeper than that (Which is a shame, honestly). With gals you could have a lot more closeness but you had to stay part of the group, any group, at all costs. I knew gals who hated every one of the people they hung out with but talked like it was the only game in town. And others who got cast out from the whole group because the queen bee no longer wanted to talk to her. I think this was all amplified by the inherent awfulness of teenagers.

Their comment wasn't a takedown of your entire thesis; it was a minor point of disagreement with something that didn't quite comport with their experience. Personally, I think you're both right and that bullies come in many flavors. Their comment might have landed better as a "yes, and" rather than a "no, but" statement and was perhaps overly combative in tone. But they still largely seemed to agree with the gist of what you were saying; they simply had a different idea of whom the target of criticism should be on this topic. Based on the values I hear you profess, I would think that this comment section ought to be a welcoming space for this kind of dissent. I understand that you do get bullied regularly for publishing the kind of content you do, but that doesn't mean that every person who expresses disagreement or fails to positively affirm your ideas is a bully. If you become so hypervigilant about the threat of being bullied that you start snapping at people who mostly agree with you over small differences in point of view, you risk falling into the trap that every histrionic redpiller and pop misandrist on the internet has already gotten caught up in: seeing enemies lurking in every shadow. Great video, by the way.

On "Is it really that bad in schools" As some-one who was training to be a teacher, one of the teachers in the staff room said "Oh I've ended up with 3 fucks today" and some other staff looked over and said "What" the teacher then said "Yeh [students name] I told them to stop, they said fuck off, I told them to leave the class then, they told me to fuck off and I asked them to close the door as they left, they told me to fuck off again". In another case I ended up jumping in to help out as basically an extra teaching assistant in a lesson because I could hear it sounding bad when passing outside and one kid threw a damn set square at another at close range at their eye, good job they were a bad throw. But Liana, I'm guessing you were in the top few sets at school......the lower sets / level classes it's pretty insane, that and other reason are why I quit teacher training. Part of it was the idea that some of the higher staff at the school had that students were just expressing themselves and coming down harshly on them was wrong and would damage them emotionally.

Imagine going through that as a child at your own school, where your series would be required viewing. Also I don't really see the point. The series seems pretty big on the idea that kids already know about this stuff and adult ignorance is the issue. In a wierd way, making Adolecence required viewing for kids reminds me of that Monty Python skit where everyone goes to classes to learn their native tongue. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLrMYspTepw COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLrMYspTepw&lc=UgxyLwB7woEJu6VIpcZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250409 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @IDontKnowMyName-tv1ze AUTHOR_ID: UC5Udlm22F6wRTQ_83NblrGg TEXT: Completely agree that showing it to school kids is the wrong idea for exactly the reason you say which is that they know their own lives better than this show ever could. What you say at 21:36 is also spot on. The whole showing it in schools thing rubs me the wrong way. It makes me think that the people who watched it felt uncomfortable having to think about the problems that the show discusses but learning more or trying to think of ways to tackle any of the issues felt too hard so it was easier to convince themselves that showing it to school kids would be good enough to stop their own personal discomfort. I still think the best audience for the show is adults who are out of touch with modern day social media discourse because much of the show is about how disconnected the adults are from the kids and why maybe they should actually pay more attention to what their kids are saying rather than assuming that they already know. That being said I also agree with what you said around 9:00 that the show walks itself into kinda saying the bullying led Jamie to do it. I think the show actually does add other stuff around that but overall I agree that most people unless looking for other reasons would probably take that idea away with them and that is a major flaw of the show. I also think the show as a whole makes it too easy to walk away making sweeping assumptions but I simultaneously haven't seen a similarly mainstream show that tried to engage with this topic with this level of nuance. I don't know exactly how to word this but I want to make it clear that even though the show was more nuanced than I had expected it to be that isn't the same thing as saying it was nuanced enough by far. For some people I think that makes the show bad, for me it makes it a start if that makes any sense. As for the depiction of the school, maybe it's sad of me to say but it didn't feel that far fetched to me for the classmates of Jamie to be like that one day after that kind of event. While the teachers were much worse than you'd expect at handling their classes it really doesn't seem so impossible as to be laughable. I could definitely see that happening to some teachers with some classes but not for so many teachers for all their classes. As for telling a teacher to f off, (I tried to find the scene you were talking about but am not sure if I found the bit you were referring to as there were a few), the idea that that seems impossible is strange to me. I think a lot of secondary school teachers (if not most) will have been sworn at by students. The question for me is how realistic the teachers' responses were in the show. I would have expected more of a reaction from the teachers, i.e. raised voice, angry tone + giving a 'time out' (detention) but I wouldn't expect more than that as a response (especially with this kind of context) and at this point in the show the kid probably doesn't care that much about that punishment anyway. You would only be facing suspension (AKA 'Fixed Term Exclusion') for swearing if it was done much more aggressively and repeatedly over a period of many days or weeks and only after other disciplining didn't stop the behaviour. Expelling pupils (AKA 'Permanent Exclusion') is legally really really hard for comprehensive schools in the UK in general and it is hard to believe it would happen for swearing alone. For what you say around 14:10 I think there may be a cultural difference here between the UK and Canada because I really don't think 2 plain clothed police would even cross the minds of any of those kids in that situation. I would be really surprised if police in that situation did more than help break up the fight and only if the school staff weren't already dealing with it (much as you see in that scene). Petty fights like that would be a matter for the school to handle. If the school was failing to handle the situation they would probably help out, but normally the school has the responsibility of care for the kids and it would be for them to decide if/when things needed to escalate to the police. As for disciplining the kid for the fight, a letter home / wanting to meet with the parents + some detentions sounds pretty much exactly what I'd expect for the school do.

And cautionary tales feel like an extension of that. If I were gonna force kids to watch anything, it’d be something like Eighth Grade which depicts a very nuanced representation of adolescence and has a character who makes good and bad choices, but you’re still rooting for her the whole time. But I really don’t want to commit to that idea either because, past a certain age, forcing kids to watch anything in order to curb their behavior doesn’t seem like something that should be done across the board. It’s like if you showed kids the first season of 13 Reasons Why in order to show why suicide is bad and how it affects everyone after you’re gone. That may work on some kids. Others may feel more compelled to emulate Hannah’s actions. And you can’t always know who’s who.

The vast majority of women respond surprisingly well to criticism as long as it is honest and they are praised for correcting themselves.

I'm sure we all miss out on a bunch. But you should also understand plainly, that those men have a stated preference for non-conformity, because they actually handle reality and if a woman introduces a component of emotional-based unreality, then it is altogether best for that man to stand proudly alone, without potential vectors of interference in one's ability to solve problems. Which is, y'know, what keeps the lights on, puts food on the table, keeps your country from descending into a Mad Max style wasteland. Unimportant problems, surely. The fact this is being positioned as "See, this is why you're alone" is nowhere near the sagacity that you think such a statement has. Nor real power, for that matter. It is in fact a rather unfortunate admission of low female worth, in the sense that apparently, your inability to handle criticism instantly disqualifies you as suitable partner in most cases, with the added hubris of this somehow being at the sole onus of the side which ultimately commands the most resources, the most strength, the most talents, the most mobility, risk taking... I mean I can just go on forever with these tacitly demonstrable comparisons in roles. The mere fact we have a system of rights, which women are entirely reliant on as beneficiaries - not enforcers of said rights - it is very much clear and unequivocal indication that your entire existence is predicated on a man's mercy, benevolence and tolerance for your silly little idiosyncrasies. But criticism is really a very big "ick". I understand. Pretty much a waste of a video, where you expose such levels of unearned condescension, that one has to wonder, amidst this infantilizing display of living as a grown woman surrounded with toys, if real world experience is at the epistemology of such considerations... Or it's just a foolish little tantrum from someone who had a not very good day because she didn't get her way. I'm kinda leaning on the latter because let's face it, women prattle so much that they are not exceedingly difficult to figure out. To be clear, I don't think you're paying attention with the male exodus from your society, but we're no longer interested in your terms. Obedience. Only obedience. Or your eggs can rot. There is no option C, there was never option C. You've just been poorly informed by low value males that there was such a thing to begin with. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DUTjfX3lM8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DUTjfX3lM8&lc=UgyDJI6avTxP1tvSAQJ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241028 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @bannedmann4469 AUTHOR_ID: UClExxXC0-Hf5B8XKyIS4b4g TEXT: Saying BS like “hetero normative” is man repellent. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DUTjfX3lM8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DUTjfX3lM8&lc=UgyDJI6avTxP1tvSAQJ4AaABAg.AABMzxMKkG3AACPWFYcREK UPLOAD DATE: 20241028 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @EtherRainbow AUTHOR_ID: UCHT-Ks_b0j4O-puxH0LCDaA TEXT: heteronormative heteronormative heteronormative heteronormative heteronormative heteronormative heteronormative heteronormative heteronormative heteronormative heteronormative heteronormative ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DUTjfX3lM8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DUTjfX3lM8&lc=Ugy7MnIIHBs0SajL2gV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241028 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @BF2021-kf8xz AUTHOR_ID: UCITGasCPWpIC8wilwL9bCDA TEXT: I used to chuckle at this but now very much believe there's truth in saying that women are allergic to accountability.

I believe it falls under lying by omission? My perspective is don't hint and skirt around problems. It might be a stereotype, but it definitely fits me, I can be completely oblivious to something until it's pointed out to me. Just approach it tactfully. In my teacher training it was called "kiss and a wish" (or a "sh*t sandwich" depending how blunt you viewed things). So like, "that was great/I appreciate the effort, it could be even better with *tweak*" just lands so much better than "you did X/Y wrong!". (Though not if done in a snarky manner haha) I advocate this approach not on a gendered basis either. I can't stand too much negativity and much prefer to find the positives. Whether this is in people, situations, video games, movies, even going out somewhere and it just raining the entire day. If you're that negative about something, you're much better off just not partaking in it and spending your time on other things. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DUTjfX3lM8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DUTjfX3lM8&lc=UgwDiH-K83PLAg2p0zJ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241028 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @sealsharp AUTHOR_ID: UCiKtPlO92fFx8PyDmylxkug TEXT: 23:42 "maybe i get Bianca" YES.

I'll also add that many people use constant complaining as a way to establish dominance and importance. For years, I was in volunteer in a local Toronto SF convention called Toronto Trek, later known as Polaris. There was no passive aggressiveness in their concom (convention committee); it was all active aggressive. The concom (convention committee) was full of women who constantly complained about everyone else, and that was used as a way to establish authority. In that environment, ad hominen attacks in public were also justifiable on the basis that all shortcomings in performance or competence are linked to the offender's personality, so correction can come only from criticizing the personality, preferably in front of other people so that it will be taken more seriously. As for the men in SF fandom, I noticed that many confuse whining with assertiveness. I knew one science fiction and anime fan who constantly belittled and insulted and complained about the wait staff at restaurants when he was on a date. He also bragged to his would-be girlfriends about complaining about hotel staff in front of their fellow staff and managers. The women got the impression that belittling people in public was his way of showing assertiveness. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DUTjfX3lM8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DUTjfX3lM8&lc=Ugz-sA_hs_bip2Z9_5p4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241028 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @MyselfandComics AUTHOR_ID: UCN9l9l7woB1gDvzRb_Ou_tw TEXT: Very insightful 😮 ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DUTjfX3lM8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DUTjfX3lM8&lc=Ugy-eHDzUf9B3dZsw_x4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241028 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @katetoldness4220 AUTHOR_ID: UCchGSmeWzCd8Uf2cED70ezQ TEXT: I was watching random youtube clips a few years ago and saw something that always stuck with me and this video brought it to mind. It was a clip from what looked like an 80s talkshow. One of the guests was a woman proporting to be a love expert who was advocating for women to take a very passive approach in their relationships with men. Never criticize your man, never disagree with his opinions or what he wants. A woman stood up as she had a question about how to process her husband's death. She said the relationship had been beautiful, loving and traditional in that she took care of the home and he supported the family. But then her priorities shifted after the kids were older and more independent. She wanted to go back to school and maybe get an outside job. He didn't want that but they were not able to resolve the conflict before he suddenly died. She felt caught between her grief for a man she'd loved for years and a new resentment. The so called "expert" callously said, "Be glad he's dead. Now you can do what you want!" There is no contradiction here, in this woman's advice, and certainly no love for men. This, I think is a good mask-off example of the kind of manipulative woman who will do and say anything to be "picked."They are the feminine version of the "nice guy" only possibly even more insidious. First because men get a lot less warning about the damage a "pick-me" girl can do to them. Second, while the classic "nice guy" can often have a telling mask-slip upon rejection, the "pick me" girl is less likely to let her mask slip until she's been picked. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DUTjfX3lM8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DUTjfX3lM8&lc=Ugzs-pc0wIuF1Gpaam14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241028 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TheArceusftw AUTHOR_ID: UCynpVSnrzeDrdMqNSOHzCNQ TEXT: Another part of it is, that people who tend to be overly critical of their partners tend to be type of people with absolutely no shred of self awareness whatsoever. The type of people who love to excessively point out other people's flaws, yet never take the time do any form of self-reflection and work on themselves. And that's the problem with these overly critical people who act shocked on why they can never gain a partner. It's the classic case of the entitled incel who believes that he's owed the most perfect woman(Read: an obedient stepford robot) on the face of the planet, yet lacks the resolve to put in the effort to fix his own life. (The same can also be applied to the TikTok "icks" trend from a few months ago.)Now don't get me wrong; people should have standards on the types of people they date, but there's a vast galaxy of difference betwen having standards, and being a miserable overly pedantic loser who treat's every miniscule flaw as a major turnoff. And also, it's very much something that is very tied to this archaic notion of "You have to criticize your partner to all oblivion, otherwise you're a spineless doormat and a beta male who let's your partner walk all over you." Which is one of those traits that can manifest from being raised in a toxic enviroment. All and all, the more we learn to leave certain toxic things in the past, the more we can make strides towards building healthier relationships. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DUTjfX3lM8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DUTjfX3lM8&lc=UgwfKiR4_hSC-ZDzETt4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241028 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @AileynRed AUTHOR_ID: UCqUg7b8RZEZcdpf0XEH2BNg TEXT: Like the comment box said, this was recorded before the House was funded over the weekend.

So you have the Heretic option, which is usually fairly straightforward, scenery-chewing villainy. You are bad, you do bad things, and you love it. But then you get to the other two options - Dogmatic and Iconoclast. At first glance, it seems obvious; Dogmatic is just another flavour of evil, this time a self-righteous, religiously fanatical kind of evil, and Iconoclast is the option for the actual aspiring good guy. As the game progresses, however, it subverts that simple assumption. Yes, Dogmatics are often extremely brutal, cruel, and seem altogether too comfortable with the horrifying lives most Imperial citizens must struggle through, and yet there are many instances where that uncompromising tendency to cleave absolutely to the the Imperial line not to ever trust or tolerate the alien or the taint of Chaos transpires to avoid far worse outcomes. Equally, there are plenty of cases where taking the Iconoclast path, and doing what seems to be in the short term the ethical thing, can often have extremely negative longer term outcomes due to the nightmarish nature of the 40K setting and the various factions that inhabit it. There are no easy, pat and comfortable answers to the problems facing the Imperium and its people in this universe, and if you think you know some, you will be bluntly disabused of that notion sooner or later. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftv3Z8r_vU4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftv3Z8r_vU4&lc=UgxM8Nbn-EVV0ZDbuL54AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260203 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-12 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @JoeFF85 AUTHOR_ID: UC1DsnCY6qhfWpEBcIC8Eh_Q TEXT: I think the “what is going on here” of the plot towards the back half is representative of much 40k fiction where you’ll have a lot of human-scale level stuff going on and then “suddenly, a hive fleet” towards the end to justify Space Marines taking over etc. happened in Space Marine 1 with “you thought the problem was Orks?

My favorite part is if you're playing Dogmatic, and you're in Commoragh, and you're on your way up the Spire, you get to this point where there's Tervantius, this Dark Eldar Dr. Mengele guy, and he's behind a force field next to a device where, if you ask him what happens if you blow it up, he tells you that it will doom everyone in Commoragh. You shoot it, it blows up, he freaks out (and you get +30 Dogmatic). He's so arrogant that he doesn't think you'd actually do it. Then you get to kill him, instead of waiting to do it later in the game.

Cassia: Imagine if Jane Austen wrote a pretty noblewoman with a good upbringing, who was born with extra special magical gifts that will eventually turn her into a space fish. She also has a sweet romance. Kibella: She's an earnest religious girl who takes God very seriously. (God tells her to kill people by stabbing them, and so she does.) She has some problems fitting into high society. Argenta: She's an earnest religious girl from a space nunnery who takes God very seriously. (God tells her to kill people by fire and bolter, a machine gun that shoots grenades, and so she does.) She is worried she's not taking her vow and service to God seriously. She does not have a romance. Pasqal: He's an earnest religious autiste who's trying to find himself/his bros. He has cyberdongs and can use plasma weapons.

Especially between Argenta and Idira if you have them in the same party. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftv3Z8r_vU4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftv3Z8r_vU4&lc=UgyhmaftDDTJ-e-Bs7l4AaABAg.ASliJCN2GWGASmLSYevQEQ UPLOAD DATE: 20260203 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-08 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: Yeah second playthrough I'm shoving some people together for all the bad ideas and Idira and Argenta... there are REASONS those two don't get along. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftv3Z8r_vU4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftv3Z8r_vU4&lc=Ugw5zkZOVDTpTScVz0N4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260203 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-08 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Ycekhold AUTHOR_ID: UCPNpcdrFZ6_vnu1CLMO8H4g TEXT: The sound of Marazhai's voice does things to me. 🤤 ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftv3Z8r_vU4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftv3Z8r_vU4&lc=UgzuB55Wzbx19QzFvCh4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260203 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-08 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @thepayne7862 AUTHOR_ID: UCxuOROVoO0oGLtxuLCb2o7Q TEXT: I still need to finish it. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftv3Z8r_vU4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftv3Z8r_vU4&lc=UgyWxoKXEuUynEH0ZBV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260203 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-08 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @AlphonsoFrett AUTHOR_ID: UCHHYjK_3EyLerWB6J6fln0Q TEXT: Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dXIEPEGpYw COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dXIEPEGpYw&lc=Ugz-cqWFQ7OD_7lqDqJ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241004 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @cathygrandstaff1957 AUTHOR_ID: UCZjx3M_9NZ9wxEePHgDj1FQ TEXT: Well that’s too bad, it sounds like there was some massive drama behind the scenes.

I'm saddened to hear the game will not be happening of course, but more so that you had to go through this ordeal. I know dealing with this must not have been easy and making this decision must have been heartbreaking. To your credit, this is one of the best "Our project must conclude" statements I've heard in the realm of Kickstarter. I have absolutely no regrets about becoming a backer. I hope once this is fully off your plate you can find time to rejuvenate and reclaim your peace of mind. And who knows, maybe it doesn't have to be "No" but only "Not right now." But even if so, I know new adventures will rise up. I will not be asking for a refund. If these events can be routed into something positive and assisting someone in need that is a success, even if an unexpected one.

I was not a backer of your Kickstarter project, but I hope that those who were give you the grace that I believe you deserve. No one is perfect, and I believe that all along you've done what you sincerely thought was the best. In addition to the "silver lining" of this "cloud" of funds going to save someone's house, another silver lining is that you have modelled for others how to act with integrity after making a mistake. I know the situation must be very hard on you emotionally: as you process it, I hope you'll give yourself the grace that I know you would give to another in your shoes.

Business school case studies are full of projects that crash and burn. The reasons projects fail are too numerous to count. It is hard to admit failure and pull the plug on a project. If it is any comfort, you had the guts to pull the plug before "Song of Sparklemuffin" got too far down the road. I give you credit for making that call. It is always annoying when an outside third party chooses to subvert a key team member to the point of project failure. But that happens more than one might think. Take all the time you need to heal up. If you want a bit of light reading, try "Why Most Things Fail" by Paul Ormerod. Go ahead and keep my money. 20 USD?

So yeh Hasan is the kind of guy who expects a 19 year old girl to go to prison to support her objections but he won't even stop drinking a soda brand to support his claimed principals and moral convictions. Oh and that's his character before we get onto the rumour the dude went and got hair plugs , or how he thinks all companies should be employee owned co-operatives but won't do that for his own company and staff and pays literally the minimum he can for their job roles lol. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iatQCvC8d1s COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iatQCvC8d1s&lc=Ugyk3qNEobU-o13Hsz54AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250509 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @seth_piano AUTHOR_ID: UCjCE8X88YtaQWkwps3O-6EA TEXT: I'll start out by outing myself as the guy who said "doomerism".

She doesn't come off as authentic, while you do. Even if you smiled the same way, you're both worlds apart. While it's not a reliable source of biographical information, Encyclopaedia Dramatica showed me a link. It showed a very old clip of Anita presenting herself before the camera in some sort of public speaking training module. Even her Feminist Frequency videos were produced by a guy, Jonathan McIntosh, and I'm unsure who wrote the episode scripts. So, she had polish. And practiced public speaking for political objectives. It dawned on me that the documentaries and consultations are a carefully constructed racket. Peer-to-Peer counseling from the woman who sports the dirtiest vaudeville puppet of all time, while seemingly contradictory, rings far truer since catharsis is an important therapy tool. You don't have Anita's baggage as a agenda-driven performer and can effortlessly "wing it", as it were. Simply by how you present matters and do most if not all of the research and scripting solo, I believe I can trust you. It doesn't matter what face you have; behind Anita's, I assume there is nothing there.

This intents-based argument leads to every single person who disagrees with someone powerful being labeled as a loser with ill intents, which is exactly what Hasan did to me. I got left-splained on the meaning of the term "femcel". It apparently didn't mean what the word means, it means I'm a "pick me".

The fact that some keep ranting about Dragon Age: The Veilguard is not that surpising once you see how some voices continue to rant about Ghostbusters (2016) and The Last Jedi, sometimes years after their release. It gets so bad that the developer for The Coffin of Andy and Leyley, who was working solo at the time, was doxxed by people who objected to the (admitatly uncomfortable) content of the narrative horror game. Couple the fact that we continue to see anger drawing attention and genuine polite discussion being hidden or ignored and it seems hard to find any area that can just remain civil.

The amount actually depends on the platform with the ps5 being the worst. It was even lagging in the menu/game select mode. The game was also having audio issues. The biggest problem is the lack of private lobbies. People have no way the play against their friends. The game also lacks ranked. No cross-play is an issue but we at least new that ahead of time. The developers are working on some of these things but many feel by the time these issues are addressed the community will have moved on. People also have an issue with the A.I. I think it's specifically for MK2. It was always notoriously cheap. Even on the easier settings.

One what's a matter if somebody doesn't like or enjoy the game. I am trying to wrap my mind around this cause the experience they have on the game or around it is there experience alone. If it happens to be very different from your own than so be it. A person can't implant a person's experiences like a chip yet and make them better for a person in a flash so what's it matter. if folks want to scream..ok I just don't see a problem with it unless they are taking personal shots on anybody. The other thing I thought about was the sales. Even if the game was popular in the beginning if the sales don't make the mark that's it. If a player even enjoyed playing the game two things happen. The entire franchise becomes dormat for years or its becomes very low budget next time around. So to me I can careless if a person is shiting on a game I enjoy or not I just ignore them cause all our experiences are different and I except there experience and just move on. I don't see a reason to stew on it . ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYMFmnfMrZg COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYMFmnfMrZg&lc=UgxTEWcZkIhPKQb7qu14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251111 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @michaellewis1545 AUTHOR_ID: UCz_-lre8IsZv1nPr-xgfeAQ TEXT: One thing contributing to the toxicity in the online gaming discussion is that things are getting lost in translation. By this mean game will communicate a character is powerful by mechanics. Yet the way we talk about video games is usually with a cinema frame work. In that frame work power is express by what the characters say and do. So if the in game cinematic we see a character imperilled but the game the character fights there way out of peril. The discussion would tend to focus on the character being imperial. This especially ture if the character is a woman. I believe best way to adress this to promote game literacy. I am imagining some similar to those YouTube creators who do let me use the language of flim theroy to critique a movie. Yet instead use game mechanics to demonstrate the story being told in the game. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYMFmnfMrZg COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYMFmnfMrZg&lc=UgyNwsofdmhkjR3bILt4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251111 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TheArceusftw AUTHOR_ID: UCynpVSnrzeDrdMqNSOHzCNQ TEXT: Again, you're spot on in your assertion. A lot of these spaces get easily co-opted by grifters, propagandists, self apointed moral crusaders, and other various assorted bad actors. Just genuine unpleasantness all around. Again, it's just plan frustrating when people who do have legitimate grievances with the gaming industry get drowned out, and get lumped in with those very toxic people. It's more emblematic of the problem of the internet rewarding groupthink, excessive self-validation, confirmation bias, negativity, toxicity, and hostility. Both the hardline left and right are guilty of this. Where on one hand, you have people who are so obsessed about pushing back against busybody activists, they've become succeptable to being duped by a bunch of grifters(Read; very oppertunistic political pundants) into going along with reignighted Red Scare talking points, or straight up conspiracy theories, or authoritarian/facist rhetoric. On the flipside, you have the more hardline left(And to clarify, I'm specifically talking about the militant communist tankies) who are so gung-ho with combatting alt-right infiltration in fandom spaces, they've become so obsessed with these idealogical purity tests that they immediately brand everyone who's even the slightest bit right of full-on communism is either a deep-cover right winger, or a facist sympathiser. It's all one big loop. And it's not just with the culture war, gaming discourse in general is just very nasty, with a lot of all or nothing "With us or against us" thinking. It's again, getting us nowhere, and undermining any legitimate conversation. And as always, we have to excise caution into not swinging too hard into forced posititivty "No dissenting opinions allowed" territory. Balance is the key, and it's important to know the difference between people airing out their grievences, and just people flying off the handle shouting at nothing. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYMFmnfMrZg COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYMFmnfMrZg&lc=UgyNwsofdmhkjR3bILt4AaABAg.APOZ36BFbTrAPOnvfIu4iI UPLOAD DATE: 20251111 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @VolkColopatrion AUTHOR_ID: UCOVN03HyGARIHShN_n2vbbA TEXT: One is trying to preserve itself and fight against control and the other one is trying to morally Crusade and saying that things are out of date.

"Normal" can't be the standard. Similarly, "abuse" is frequently treated as "whatever I said is abuse is abuse". That can't be the standard either. And you say "we resent that"? Who is "we"? Frequently I get treated as a newcomer to gaming even though I've been playing since the early 1980s. Do I have the right to kick you out on the basis of me being around longer? That's hardly fair since someone can't help when they were born. If you want power, you have to consider how to wield it fairly.

If we looked at behavior rather than gender, then Depp's allegations against Heard would not have been considered a set-back of the Me Too Movement but an addition to it. His claims of abuse and Lively's claims of harrassment should be part of the same story of standing up against behaviors no human being should have to put up with. That I think is a better thing and more in keeping with what the movement's founder intended.

I think I have a perspective on the whole "college v. trade school" argument that perhaps hasn't been considered. To put it succinctly: Skilled trade work blows goats. As a former frame carpenter and brickmason; that shit is awful. Which is why it pays well. The work is labor-intensive, frequently dangerous, and over the long term causes significant damage to the body. By the time I was 35, every time I got out of bed and stood up, my bones sounded like a fat man sitting down in a wicker chair. Even now, at 44, I have to flex my right hand for almost my entire 45-minute drive to work just to get it moving properly after decades of tissue and nerve damage from trade work. Compare that to the kinds of jobs that a college qualifies you for. Air conditioned work spaces, more social respect, far lower risk of injury, easier advancement, longer life expectancy, and far less frequent physical injury that is considered "standard" for the job (cuts, burns, strains, etc). That's my problem with it, and a lot of the guys I talk to about it. Including both of my sons. Both of whom are nearing adulthood. And a social system that is built around telling them that the best option they will have for a good financial outcome is sacrificing their physical health, while their female classmates are being pushed towards becoming the people that hire them and treat their every existence like a social burden (Let's not pretend that white collar workers treat tradespeople with anything other than disdain) while living a far more comfortable life is enraging to me, and many others. And just to be an ass, 60% is pretty mush 2/3. Especially because it isn't EXACTLY 60%, it's slightly higher, which is approximately 2 out of 3. 😉 ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huFRJyqVQgI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huFRJyqVQgI&lc=Ugy7TpQ88mMwLUayCZN4AaABAg.AJ1V601DZjDAJ1pJv-6q4K UPLOAD DATE: 20250606 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @IslandFenix AUTHOR_ID: UCN6sFpxDvrBOM-TYM7ddceQ TEXT: It's not only that it's physically taxing, it's the idea that some people have that the trades were a backup for people that weren't as academically inclined and therefore not seen as intelligent as those in higher classes. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huFRJyqVQgI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huFRJyqVQgI&lc=Ugy7TpQ88mMwLUayCZN4AaABAg.AJ1V601DZjDAJ1qByU-P8i UPLOAD DATE: 20250606 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @chaselonnergan AUTHOR_ID: UCQkErstwH5t9y1xzVnfrh-Q TEXT: ​ @IslandFenix Bingo ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huFRJyqVQgI COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huFRJyqVQgI&lc=Ugy7TpQ88mMwLUayCZN4AaABAg.AJ1V601DZjDAJ3P9tert8i UPLOAD DATE: 20250606 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @visaman AUTHOR_ID: UCVmzmLAWc0RMFscQCz13wFQ TEXT: My dad worked as an autobody painter and repairman since he became my father.

In the original off-broadway run, they looked like believable teenage boys, fit but not ridiculously ripped so the comedy element was played up rather than anything sexual. The West End cast a pair of what looked like underwear models which completely oversexualized these 17 year old characters.

It’s like culture justifies it through media and the way society sees them in general. I’ve brought this up before in another Manly Monday video—how dating after the ’60s completely changed, not just relationships, but how men are viewed in them. And let’s be honest, a lot of this has to do with feminism. The way dating works now is completely different, and we still haven’t found a middle ground that keeps the good aspects of traditionalism while taking the useful parts of feminism. If anything, it feels like we’re stuck between two extremes. So what’s the third option? What kind of dating strategy are men even supposed to follow? Since the ’60s, dating has changed in ways that have created a real disconnect between men and women. There’s resentment, frustration, and this weird pressure for men to either treat women like dating props or try to “win” their virginity like some kind of status symbol. But let’s be real—men didn’t just wake up one day and decide to act like this. The dating market itself shaped this behavior. Women, for the most part, control dating—not in an absolute sense, but in the way they choose who they sleep with and who they consider relationship material. Before feminism, relationships were more male-dominated, and men (along with societal expectations) prioritized relationships that were about romance, emotional connection, or what was good for the family, clan, or community. But now, dating feels like it’s all about sex first, and maybe a relationship later. This isn’t just opinion—studies back it up. Evolutionary psychologist David Buss, in The Evolution of Desire, explains how women tend to be the selectors in dating, while men compete for their attention. Because of this, modern dating rewards looks, status, and money over things like character and long-term compatibility. And now, ironically, it’s men who are feeling objectified. It’s funny—when a culture doesn’t push sex into everything, you get characters like Aragorn, Superman, Captain America—strong men with values, leadership, and a sense of duty. But nowadays, we’ve got more womanizers in media, or even when male characters aren’t treating women like objects, they’re still treating them like status symbols. Why? Because dating culture itself rewards men for being hyper-masculine, sexually desirable, or socially dominant. A 2020 Pew Research study found that 63% of single men under 30 feel invisible in dating, while women on dating apps get hundreds of matches. It’s hard to argue that the playing field is fair when so many guys feel like they don’t even get a chance. Now, here’s where things get even crazier. Feminism gave women more sexual freedom, but it also made men feel more objectified in the process. Women today care more about a man’s sexual appeal than men care about a woman’s. And this isn’t just a guess—studies prove it. You rarely hear men openly saying, “I want a virgin wife,” because it’s seen as shameful to admit. But you’ll hear women say they don’t want to date a virgin guy all the time. Why? Because in the modern dating market, a man’s value is tied to how many women he’s been with. A 2023 study from Indiana University found that men with fewer sexual partners were rated less attractive by women compared to those with more experience. And if you think this only applies to women with higher body counts, think again—a study by biological anthropologist Dr. Helen Fisher found that 42% of people wouldn’t date a virgin, with women being significantly more likely than men to avoid virgin partners. Even women with low body counts still prefer a guy who’s "experienced." So, for men, it’s like there’s no winning. If they lack experience, they’re seen as less attractive, but if they chase experience, they get labeled as players. That’s why we’re seeing more men speaking up—whether it’s in Red Pill spaces, MGTOW, or even just everyday conversations. Like them or not, these groups exist for a reason. A lot of men feel unheard, frustrated, and exhausted from trying to navigate a dating market that feels rigged against them. And look, I get it—people might say, “Well, men used to control relationships before feminism, so now it’s just the other way around.” But does that mean this new system is better? The loneliness epidemic is real—and it’s not happening by accident. It’s the result of a dating culture shaped by feminism, media, and social media that prioritizes short-term validation over long-term commitment. Honestly, I don’t know if there’s a middle ground between traditionalism and feminism. Sometimes it feels like they contradict each other too much to work together. One last thing: I’m not saying women are the bad guys here. But the negative side of femininity—something nobody really talks about—gravitates toward men with dark triad traits, bad boys, or men with high sexual status. That’s a big part of why hookup culture exists. It’s been this way since the ’60s, and it keeps reinforcing itself. And here’s the kicker—men and boys are now dealing with the same struggles women used to have. Body image issues, anxiety about sex, struggling in the dating market. This didn’t just happen out of nowhere. So what’s the solution? I honestly don’t know. But if people keep ignoring men’s struggles, pretending this problem doesn’t exist, it’s only going to get worse. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QNhuznoWpg COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QNhuznoWpg&lc=Ugy_xMvU5cdACbQXvXZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250203 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @JoeyJ0J0 AUTHOR_ID: UCQEZ5NlXWWqizeSr3YbZmpQ TEXT: I hate that male victims of SA by women are treated like they were lucky to have it and it was a good thing.

But the practical problem is that it's (some) women who are mostly responsible. Sexualized images of teenaged boys are mostly for a female audience. Gay men as well but that's a much smaller percentage of the population. Likewise, men are happy with and if anything prefer characters like Clark Kent or Steve Rogers as male love interests. Jane Austen has a lot of male fans for a reason. Again, the more unpleasant and promiscuous male love interests are written for a female audience, usually by female authors. I'm not optimistic about any effort to change female behavior so I would say this is a problem we'll have to live with.

These issues have always existed, we're just now recognizing that they can happen to boys. Like when I was a teen, I was self-conscious about my weight. It was never suggested that I had a disorder. I either needed to lose weight or get over it. I also had friends who did sports and looking back at the stuff they were telling me, what they were doing wasn't healthy. But they talked about that stuff like it was normal.

So when they start doing it, they don’t realize they’re doing it to themselves and to other men. Because I doubt most men know what objectification actually means. To most guys, objectification means “that feminism word that means you treat women like shit.” And so they fail to see how it can be applied to different situations. I think there is also a general lack of awareness for men, especially when they’re younger. Women seem to develop a sixth sense for when they’re being watched. And even if they can’t immediately leave an objectifying situation, they’ll readjust to make sure they’re covered up. Men generally never develop this skill. And if they do, they have no real recourse for unwanted advances, at least not without getting verbal. So if someone is interested in them, young guys just tend not to notice. This is why all the demure/feminine “signals” are such crock. Men, much less 16 year old boys, are not mind-readers. If we want to keep it so the guy “traditionally” asks the girl, fine. But in this day and age, a girl should not be afraid to express her interest bluntly. Yes, the fear of rejection is always there, but the fear of breaking social norms should be so far out the window by now. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QNhuznoWpg COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QNhuznoWpg&lc=UgzMptQV8Spuw7BmLiZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250203 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @whitestar618 AUTHOR_ID: UCehZnxlMfBwlJDsGyEtRj5w TEXT: old gay men going after younger happens because many of the now old men were doing like what happened in familys case doing the hidden thing because if dad didnt have the kids his parents wanted he'd been disinherited.

There's one that takes place entirely at a pool party for obvious reasons And it reminds me of how Disney Princes used to be portrayed - the princesses liked them because they were good people, and in the case of Eric, the Beast, Aladdin and Shang, they saw the worth in a woman considered odd or less desirable by those around her (while Jasmine is considered beautiful, the movie makes it clear everyone else views her as a status symbol because she's a princess). That somehow pivoted to the asshole side characters bully her into liking (Kristoff) or the womaniser she has to become a life coach to (Naveen), and the live action Beast just insults Belle repeatedly and live action Aladdin actually steals from Jasmine.

When I don't agree with it being done to women either. If it is a legal adult who can make such a decision, Then they can make that choice. (Onlyfans as an example.) It's not my business what people do with their lives. Another thing teenage boys need to be protected from is the isolation of being a man. "You male and male bad!" Like men are deliberately made into monsters and then punished for what they are made into. And the idea of "suck it up, Buttercup!" if a man talks about his issues. Seriously, after hearing of women falsely accusing men of predatory behaviour and looking into it as proof. I really wouldn't feel safe walking down the street in some places.

Two major things, starting with what I got wrong. First, I had a gut reaction to you saying that uneducated men vote for Trump. I have a master's degree and will not be voting for Kamala. It took me a moment to remember you are simply using the statistics, not calling those that do not vote the same as you uneducated, which is sometimes used as a replacement for stupid. This is not something that needs an answer, I just like to bring up when I have a meandering thought process. Second, I used to believe that women understood men. I bought into the stereotype that men were largely simple creatures that were easily understood by women. Now I believe that any man who is trying to be virtuous, strong, and kind (because only strong men can be kind), is misunderstood. I do not know the men that Kamala surrounds herself with, but all of her advertisements to draw men in are horrible failures. It is the "hey there fellow kids" meme on repeat. For any man who tries to grow, love, and respect women as he expects women to respect him, there is nothing appealing in the Kamala camp. There is no room for us in her future. This is just my opinion and many may disagree, but based on the polling data, I'm certainly not alone. Please know this comes from a place of respect.

Kamala Harris represents everything that is wrong with politics in America, particularly, but not only, at the Federal level. Setting that aside, she personally is not someone that should be occupying that Office. As District Attorney of San Francisco, she obsfuscated evidence that would have exonerated the individuals she was prosecuting. There's lies of exaggeration and then there "Imma throw your black ass in jail for 20 years because it'll make me look good". Additionally, stereotypes exist because the human mind is a heuristic pattern recognition engine. And the one stereotype that applies to Kamala that more dangerous than any of the others is that of "a woman put into a position of power that she is ill equipped to occupy, but her Feminist background and hangers on tell her she has to be hard like a man to do the job." So it is my firm belief that she will start at least one major war to prove she's good enough for the job. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cysxMLEzGjs COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cysxMLEzGjs&lc=UgyayaqKRUM8fru6dNR4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241021 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @IslandFenix AUTHOR_ID: UCN6sFpxDvrBOM-TYM7ddceQ TEXT: Sadly Obama's comment is just the tip of the iceberg because there's been a concern about the more conservative shift in the voting of Black and Latino men for years.

Regarding women being "too picky" - my father liked to say that everyone has champagne tastes but only the rich can afford them. If the typical woman is getting a lot of responses with online dating, naturally she'll focus on the most attractive. Unfortunately, those are often the ones gaming the system and there isn't really a way to screen for decency in online dating. Put it on the long list of problems for which I have no solution. That said, the romance novel trope of the "dark prince" doesn't help either. By that I mean the kind of romantic ideal seen in 50 Shades of Grey and elsewhere, the man who is attractive, wealthy, high status and sexually promiscuous but emotionally unavailable except to the heroine. Such men don't exist in real life, but plenty of men will take advantage of the fantasy to manipulate women, particularly in online dating. It also reinforces the notion that a "real man" is sexually promiscuous. Caveat emptor. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsJhiHzhQ2k COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsJhiHzhQ2k&lc=UgzAkOOl_FfA1-XxT_h4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250127 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @gundamforreal AUTHOR_ID: UCxfD4GUd6h7DrTM7kg9BYLw TEXT: As an asocial person, all that sounds like pretending, which in turn sounds quite tedious. As mentioned, it's one thing to have a friend who happened to have a book to lend out for one to read in the name of exploring new things, but that's not the kind of lucky coincidence many people have the luck to experience. Dating apps as a free user used to be a viable alternative somewhat back in the day when they were new, with most features being accessible. Now that just about everything is locked behind a pay wall, not so much. For all that hassle, being alone doesn't sound that bad.

They just lump a kind person in with the whole “nice guy” stereotype, like I’m trying to get into their pants or something, which I’m not. I’m genuinely just trying to be a kind person and get to know them. But honestly, most of the matches I get are either scammers or women from other cultures—mainly Japanese, Korean, or Chinese—which, to be fair, matches my preferences anyway. When I try to match with women outside of those groups, it’s like I’m met with either hostility or hatred, especially when I’m just being myself and having standards or being a little picky. And that whole “being picky” thing feels really skewed. Like, when women are picky, their list seems a mile long, but when men are picky, it’s suddenly not okay. Society has pushed this idea that it’s perfectly fine for women to have these long lists of standards, but if a man has standards, it’s seen as a problem. Apparently, it’s all about fighting the “patriarchal standards” of the past. Men, supposedly, haven’t changed since the ‘60s, but women have—and now we’re supposed to just adapt to that. For example, men like me are still traditional in the sense that we want a virgin wife, or at least a girlfriend with a low body count—someone who shares similarities in goals and standards of living. That could mean religious or non-religious reasons, but either way, when I express what I want in a relationship, women will often call me a misogynist or sexist. Like, if I say I want a stay-at-home wife, it’s not because I hate women or want to oppress anyone. It’s because I’ve seen so many women, at least in my family and at my job, who are miserable living a working life like men. I don’t want my partner to suffer in those same ways. I see real beauty in the idea of being a stay-at-home wife with kids. I’ve seen it work with my cousin’s wife, and even my cousin, who is about to be a mother. She’s nervous, sure, but there’s also this sense of relief on her face because she’s leaving her job as a PA and stepping into a new role where she seems more fulfilled. I guess what I’m trying to say is that society has a double standard for men like me who are still traditional. A lot of us still want these things, but because we’re not changing to fit the narrative, we’re seen as too picky, manipulative, or labeled with some kind of “-ist” or “-phobia.” It’s like we’re not allowed to have standards anymore. On a bigger level, I think the issue with dating right now goes way beyond apps. It’s tied to cultural shifts that started back in the ‘60s. Before that, dating was often guided by parents or some form of authority, and while that might’ve been more restrictive, it also brought some structure. After the ‘60s, things shifted, and suddenly, it was all on the individual. And sure, that freedom sounded good, but it’s pretty clear now that both men and women don’t always know how to figure out who’s the right match for them. Women control who they sleep with, and men control who they want to be in a relationship with, but the way things are now, there’s no real middle ground. It’s just individuals making their own choices, and it’s not working. Maybe there was a golden age in the ‘80s or ‘90s where things were more balanced, but since the 2000s, it feels like relationships have just gotten harder. I think there needs to be some kind of guidance again—maybe not strict parental control, but something to help people make better decisions and stop the cycle of resentment between men and women. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsJhiHzhQ2k COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsJhiHzhQ2k&lc=Ugy57A0QoDvzjhp4rpx4AaABAg.ADoGPGHSiu7ADoXpGSh3Bl UPLOAD DATE: 20250127 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @michaelhurlbut4830 AUTHOR_ID: UCMDlgqV3NRkKrE_nd5zJESg TEXT: What past generations did seems wiser and wiser. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsJhiHzhQ2k COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsJhiHzhQ2k&lc=Ugy57A0QoDvzjhp4rpx4AaABAg.ADoGPGHSiu7ADqJkBmNXnr UPLOAD DATE: 20250127 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @jamesmorris525 AUTHOR_ID: UCNbFEFztoQmqVGfUgYU8arg TEXT: Yeah, the whole "women are picky because...men" is exactly the sort of thing that drives men to redpill manosphere places.

Had really lousy experiences with women at the youngest ages of being attracted to women. Girls in my secondary school would stop me in the hallways stopping me to tell me how much they like my older brothers. (Who does that?) I did go into the camp of being with someone because it's better than being alone. But, I want to say now. It is better to be safe and miserable. Than feeling unsafe and miserable. With my experiences with online dating, one or two women messaged me. The rest were (As far as I can tell.) bots trying to get me to sign up for intimacy accounts on different sites, which cost money to use in general. When I'm looking for a date and not a casual hook-up. As for people being picky, people should be picky. But, at the same time for the people watching the video or reading this comment or both. Then immediately getting a knee-jerk reaction of women on these sites only go for the 6.6.6 of men. I think picky needs clarification. Is it being messed about by narcissistic sociopaths? Or making preferences as standards and demanding more for less or nothing at all? (I also would like to digress and draw attention to the men doing the same thing and call them the same as the women doing the same.) A video about protecting young boys the same as girls? That sounds interesting. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsJhiHzhQ2k COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsJhiHzhQ2k&lc=UgzXNFgMXcgVXakI-iR4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250127 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @CinemaMack AUTHOR_ID: UCROMujUG-x7p0mrlxr_trzA TEXT: Been online dating for 15 years.

That's always been a thing, but social media has amplified sugar-baby culture and made it a heck of a lot easier for 18 year old girls to find older men with disposable income. While innocent little Jimothy is buying flowers to ask Betheline to the prom, Betheline, who is a few months older and already turned 18, is getting DM'd by Jrevor, who drives a Hellcat financed at a high interest rate, and still has a couple months of exciting party-life left before his first bankruptcy. When Jrevor is inevitably forced to sell the Hellcat and take on a job as a long-haul trucker, Bliff, who financed a Harley Davidson at a high interest rate, is ready to step in and buy Betheline the latest Stanley Cup. Meanwhile, Jimothy, feeling dejected, has taken on a career in computer science. After he graduates and takes a high paying job in a tech company, he one day decides to buy a set of cat-ears on a whim to show off to his Final Fantasy 14 raiding group. Once he gets complimented, he decides to buy a choker, some stockings, and a mini-skirt. Before long, he's respeccing his character into a catgirl and dressing the same as her while streaming. By day she's maintaining billion dollar cloud servers, and by night she's Princess NyanNyan96, the adorable group mascot leading the charge in defeating Ultimate Bahamut.

Gaming the system is just about putting an effort into your profile and yourself. The Tinder statistics on this is quite damning. I do not have the exact numbers here anymore, but it went something like this: User base: 70% men, 30% women. On average about 70% of men swipe right on 80% of women. 80% of Women swipe right on 10% of men. What does this mean? About 10% of men (there was a near 95% overlap on those 10%) get the likes from 80% of the women, while the remaining 90% of men get 20% of the women. And note the population differences here. Who controls who women swipe right on? Its not the men, its not the system. Its the women. These 10% of the men get massive attention from women, and women keep swiping on the exact same men over and over. That is why women complain about getting ghosted etc, they all pick the exact same guys, and those guys have a sea of options. You can try to say that women are picky, yet the statistics show that the majority of women pick the very same men. And note this is not coming from someone that is bitter over the dating system. This is just the stats from the system. Tinder stops showing how many likes and matches you have when you pass 99 so I can't really list how many I am sitting on now. Btw, I read both Throne of Glass and ACOTAR in public, and can confirm they will get you female attention, and despite the books being YA most that have asked me about them are between 30 and 50. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsJhiHzhQ2k COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsJhiHzhQ2k&lc=UgxE9-nS9tO73b8QJW54AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250127 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Aries73 AUTHOR_ID: UCXcjFnRxCrfoPY-QIu5fKsw TEXT: 1) Delusional standards from both men and women. 2) Dating apps themselves that aggressively promote lookism instead of halfway civilized personalities. 3) NiceGuys(™) and Incels polluting apps with red pill and black pill filth, making all of us look like walking red flags. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsJhiHzhQ2k COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsJhiHzhQ2k&lc=UgyrG4DQPU5FYJenWfR4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250127 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @onknight AUTHOR_ID: UCqrCINT20ehouLhgLp_Fupw TEXT: I'm 55 almost 56 I'm done trying. Get a dog and just be happy.

Last time I brought this up, in defense in particular to the normie side of the casuals, they were compared to parasite infested dogs. I'm inclined to believe a lot of it is due to a growing trend of cynicism in modern society. A cynicism that probably contributes to many of the negative views we see in gaming today.

I'll remember that. Small, low budget projects inherently have more freedom to do strange experiments. Even here, it can come from a developer considered to be AA or AAA, as in Pentiment from Obsidian. It would be nice to see big companies let small teams branch off and do small scale, experimental projects every now and then. Good ideas that come from these projects could potentially feed back into the major games. Most of the games I play these days would be considered indie. The main reason is that AAA doesn't operate all that much in the genres that I usually play, though there may be an example here and there. I also won't put up with the hassle of proprietary account requirements and intrusive DRM, so that rules out many AAA games. I've been moving away from RPGs (especially the action-adventure style) and more into city builders and other related types of simulation games. RimWorld is one example. Since the big, prominent single player AAA games are usually broadly within the action-adventure category (though they may be action RPGs, shooters, stealth games, or platformers) they aren't much likely to appeal to me regardless of how "innovative" they may be. I might still consider one if the setting and story look good and the action-oriented elements can be turned way down in difficulty settings, so I like to follow the news. It seems like many so-called AAA games these days have been poorly received in some way, generally due to a buggy launch, poor writing, excessive microtransactions, or problems with systems, but this isn't happening every time, and negative voices tend to be amplified by the algorithms, so could the apparent decline in the quality of AAA games be something of a mirage? I don't play enough of them to find out for myself. Despite mostly playing indie games, I'm not blind to their faults. The video game industry is known for having a lot of problems with how workers are treated. This isn't new - it goes back to the 1970s. I would assume that small indie developers are like tech start-ups in general. I've never worked in video games, but I have worked in high tech since the 1990s, always at big companies. I've heard horror stories from people who spent time in start-ups. By their very nature, those companies are pressure cookers, and they tend to be founded by people who have ideas they want to implement and who don't necessarily know how to operate a business with any degree of stability or predictability. I don't know how to fix this. It's the nature of the beast, and people who go to work for small, unstable start-ups run by socially challenged inventors need to know what they are getting into. Furthermore, the indie scene has always had a shovelware problem. For every good indie game, there could be hundreds of thrown-together pieces of substandard work. I'm old enough to remember the North American video game crash of 1983. E.T., which would have been considered a AAA game if the terminology had existed then, is the popular scapegoat, but I cannot forget the bargain bins at stores that were loaded with junky, obscure indie games that nobody wanted to buy. (Some of these likely now have value to specialist collectors. Maybe I should have bought them.) Nowadays, the internet makes it easier to weed out the shovelware, as information about games is more readily available, and it is common for high quality indie games to get noticed and rise to the top. The definitions of AAA, AA, and indie have always been vague, and I increasingly question the usefulness of these categories. They are best seen as a fuzzy continuum, and ultimately, each game should be evaluated on its own merits regardless of how it is classified. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpeGdIMjiU4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpeGdIMjiU4&lc=Ugx9pwtEQOO2KYzXPxh4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250902 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @guedeto1995 AUTHOR_ID: UCx9Yr8icpGE7QkiQBpdAglg TEXT: This aut to be good.

The invoking of "innovation" seems a bit overdone too. Although, if I'm honest, I don't know if I fully get what counts as "innovation" for a game? Like, does an innovation have to be a brand new game mechanic like say, the nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor, or the guiding wind from Ghost of Tsushima? Would a game centering its story about new topic be enough to be innovative if most or all of the game mechanics have been done before? What if all the mechanics are not new, but the combination of them together in the game is? I really enjoyed Baldur's Gate 3, but off the top of my head, the game didn't really do anything I can call out as innovative with its game mechanics. Don't think the story can count either since we've had LOTS of RPGs about a band of strangers with different backgrounds teaming up to take on something bigger than themselves (plus, it is a sequel very much tied to the previous games). About the same reasoning to say it won't count for an innovative combo of mechanics and story. I guess the development of the game itself was kinda innovative? Early access isn't new, but I haven't heard of many devs doing what Larian did for their RPGs. Granted, BG3 wasn't the first time they've done that, and I'm sure there must have been a few others who've put out the first act of their RPG for Early Access. Although, I guess that gets into another "innovation" definitional question. How many times can a thing be done before doing it again isn't innovative anymore? While I don't know if I can call BG3 innovative, it did "feel new" when I played it. Granted, it's not as though it was completely unfamiliar. I played Divinity Original Sin 2 previously, and they both share a fair amount between each other. However, it still felt "new" to me. Maybe that nebulous feeling is what people are mixing up with "innovation"? The games "feel new", or don't, and this leads people to over label "indie" games as innovating. While also missing the more subtle ways "triple A" games innovate, because so much of the rest of the game feels "not new" to them. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpeGdIMjiU4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpeGdIMjiU4&lc=Ugwl-9EjYV2Mea2HYFl4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250902 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @azamonra AUTHOR_ID: UCIKXDwOWc86hz0BYHkW4cQQ TEXT: For me I prefer Elden Ring's way of dealing with quests, for lack of a better word as I don't see them as such, since quest markers put me in a to-do-list mindset rather than actually caring about the story going on. In Elden Ring you run into someone and maybe you meet them again and maybe you don't, it feels more real to me and generally more interesting. In games like Skyrim, Fallout 4 and Cyberpunk 2077, I only really enjoy the games when I'm not following the set story because generally I don't care about the set story, I want to explore the world and make my own story. IMO if you're going to have an A-to-B narrative then be a linier game. I'd rather no I'm on a set path and follow it than be told I can go anywhere but actually go over there. Anyway, on the topic of triple A games; I've largely started ignoring the term much like I do the term block buster when it comes to films. The end product is not automatically going to be good or bad, and that's largely subjective outside of literally functional issues. So I don't see the point in even noting whether a game is indie or triple A. You either like it or you don't. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpeGdIMjiU4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpeGdIMjiU4&lc=Ugzeu-bQSjJFVaiihT14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250902 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Tnu1138 AUTHOR_ID: UCvcDm_QxP2DHVVJzEpS4t0w TEXT: Did you do somethi ng different with your hair? ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpeGdIMjiU4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpeGdIMjiU4&lc=Ugzeu-bQSjJFVaiihT14AaABAg.AM_P3aOSGgGAMbelehGIxv UPLOAD DATE: 20250902 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: Yeah blow dried it. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpeGdIMjiU4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpeGdIMjiU4&lc=UgwyGsLeoRObVgt9r8d4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250902 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @onelove-earth AUTHOR_ID: UCKkUea0-Woj2yAcJZFei4Hw TEXT: 3:22 i like open box too darling ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpeGdIMjiU4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpeGdIMjiU4&lc=UgyYxmfKrXHQNoGNEWd4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250902 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: Nice gaming video today. 🧇 I like both.

But in all seriousness, to me, it seems like the "indie" label has been hijacked by a bunch of insufferable hipsters to wear as a self-jerking badge of honor. Where again, I think the people who insist on calling themselves "indie" (if only by going by the most lenient of justifcations) are probably only doing so for the sake of the pristige. Likewise, I knew that the indie scene wasn't entirly immune to courruption and scummy activity(Pump and Dump/Take the money and run scams, devs being outed as creepers or having problematic beliefs(As in genuinely problematic, not the Chronically on Xitter/Bluesky armchair socalist activist "They hold slightly libertarian leaning but ultimately Milquetoast beliefs, assemble the mob!" problematic), or the dev just being a total Primadonna), but I never really thought it got that bad. And yeah, the fact that them being "indie" gives them a shield from scruiteny is rather concerning.(Isn't that the same mentality people criticize Nintendo fanboys for?) Furthermore, yeah, the idea that the AAA side of gaming doesn't innovate is just incredulous, and a gross oversimplication. Apart from the games you mentioned, there's also the massive elephant in the room that is Nintendo! They're one of the biggest gaming companies out there, and the first thing most normies come to mind when it comes to gaming. Making wild, out there, innovative games is sort of their Bread and Butter. speaking of wich, when you peel back all the flash, of the indie scene being "100% innovative", you realize that most indie games basically just crib notes from other games.(See; practically every indie Metroidvania, 3D Collectathon Platformer, Platform fighter, or Monster catching game) And this isn't me trying to discount indie games as just "Copying other people's homework with extra steps", All I'm asking is for certain people to get off their high horse about it. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpeGdIMjiU4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpeGdIMjiU4&lc=UgynoOpYxgAkt0OXpgx4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250902 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @GarethOfByzantium AUTHOR_ID: UC-4q_I29Dc9eQRN1CqtAVTg TEXT: Sound like you need a middle level category. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpeGdIMjiU4 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpeGdIMjiU4&lc=UgzzyjyJF8tW6ggFa-14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250902 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @xalin73 AUTHOR_ID: UCKVoJwBABdubJELbTavL2hw TEXT: Table top on computer has been going for way more than 10 years.

All of this beliefs combined together, and that is what the average law enforcement and the average person looking to report men who are showing any signs of criminal intent, preventative measures need to be infinite, often also using mental illness symptoms to add on top of everything above, to identify said need for emergency preventative measures. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY&lc=UgxJl54KiSBrbASrcoV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250324 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @vixeneris2307 AUTHOR_ID: UC56T3hzD5ejdidexW-322MA TEXT: I don't think I've ever seen such a terrible take on radical feminism outside of MRAs. Though unlike them you don't seem malicious. Radical feminism is about reordering society so it puts women and children first, this will obviously lead to male neglect, but we believe it's necessary. We do believe that all males can be inherently dangerous. Why? Rape and DV statistics, as well as the experiences we all share. One in four women IN A FIRST WORLD COUNTRY are victims of SA and rape, in third world countries like in the Middle East it's even worse. That's what we want to eliminate, which can't be done in a society where males are centred. Radical feminism aims to end these atrocities by any means necessary in all parts of the world. That's also why we are so steadfast when it comes to protecting women's spaces. That thing that "never happens" actually happens a lot. Who stops that topic from being discussed? I can tell you it isn't women. We are also not responsible for men and how they advocate for themselves. Female freedom is our goal. No woman or girl should ever be forced to use her body in a way she doesn't want her body to be used, which is quite literally the opposite of everything this "manosphere" you speak of believes in. Radical feminism doesn't want to enslave males. We don't want that for anyone because it's terrible. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY&lc=UgwMXVdPmojIjAOZ7Ax4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250324 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @kendallna5610 AUTHOR_ID: UCGzD2QV1vS6EJ5-2atlZJAg TEXT: I think the issues is two things number one social media because a lot of the general arguments are happening within social media tik tok in the like, and then is that these people get confirmations online or at least perceived confirmations; for example most talking points against women in the manosphere is pretty much confirmed because women co-sign the negative behavior like most men don't say women don't want relationships they just want money they say it because women are saying oh hey the bare minimum in a relationship as you got to make six figures there's a some ladies that think oh hey 100,000 is on the low end is the bare minimum a guy needs to be with her. And then when it comes to ladies their assumptions is quote unquote confirmed when anything bad happens to any woman in the world and it's caused by a man, like I remember last month there was a news story broke on tiktok in I believe some country in Africa there was a prison break in the prison had male side and a female side the male side was broken into when that happened all the men went over to the female side we all know the unfortunate results, and because of that on social media women blamed all men for something that happened to women in another country in a language we can't even speak. Both sides are wrong and have their failings but one side is taking a more generalist approach today a grievances effectively saying unless the perceived problem is fixed everywhere around the world how much work is done to fix it doesn't matter, while the other is taking a more personal approach saying hey don't try to make me responsible for what other people that I have no involvement with do ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY&lc=Ugzj_SW8WS9ZEfM_rl94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250324 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @hanarielgodlike9283 AUTHOR_ID: UCbJYyWGrXyZF2s1e0rOgwXw TEXT: It was inevitable TBH, I saw this coming and I been telling this to feminists since 2014...

But of course, online representation completely skews the perceived ratio, making each side think the opposite only consists of the radical. Part of the problem is that both terms are so poisoned by the radicals' toxicity that it's all people ever think about. Say feminism online and the majority thinks only of the radical portion. In the same way, say manosphere and people only think about the blackpilled portion of the community, with the redpilled ones getting treated with the same contempt. Which leads to people thinking that redpill is blackpill, and blackpill is in turn something worse. Much like the way the word incel is used as an attack on personality rather than the state of involuntary celibacy. But I digress. Back on point, there's probably a need to centre the rational half of both sides. Though the branding problem is another issue to be solved, and it'll take someone far smarter than me to do it. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY&lc=UgzphSn8XaBaJ6wBJv14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250324 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @dercooney AUTHOR_ID: UCXwNe9Keuvq5glvLcA8cmeg TEXT: 10:20 - women and credit cards nope. it's more complicated than that. credit cards were 65 or 67, but it was NBD because credit wasn't as pervasive as it is today. prior to that, single women could get credit, but often, if they got married, their history was subsumed under the man's. also, prior to that was the evolution of store credit to stuff like diner's club and ultimately visa it's a nit, and i'm tired of seeing it repeated 22:00 it isn't that women aren't honest about what they're into, they're not self aware, for the most part. men are the same way - there's what you say you like and then what you really go for. learning to ignore words and listen to behavior was a turning point for me ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY&lc=UgzphSn8XaBaJ6wBJv14AaABAg.AG463IwDWKnAGDmxIXFHc7 UPLOAD DATE: 20250324 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @sorsocksfake AUTHOR_ID: UCpyPpZgHc2upDJ3VwEH7lZQ TEXT: On the last part: definitely. It's not good strategy to know exactly what you want, because others can pick up on what you know... but not as much on what you yourself don't even know. It can be a good thought experiment to just write down what you find attractive. Then make a list of who you've been in love with, and what characteristics they have in common. And finally, who you've dated, and again those shared characteristics. The lists will probably be very different. Seen from the reverse: obviously we'd want some things. Tens of thousands of years of evolution leaves its mark. Women who were attracted to penniless guys (or rather, resource-less) tended to have poor outcomes. Times have changed, and women are not as dependent on men as they once were, but biology doesn't instantly catch up. Though sometimes it can be fast: we can expect a big impact from all the men and women who now choose not to have children, to affect our genes in a mere few decades. But that's the exception. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY&lc=Ugwvw6wm0LO5LQykdLp4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250324 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @katetoldness4220 AUTHOR_ID: UCchGSmeWzCd8Uf2cED70ezQ TEXT: I think the similarities between seemingly polar opposite ideologies start to stand out is when the tail starts wagging the dog, so to speak. There is a difference between using a framework of ideas to make sense of an individual experience and forcing everyone's individual experience into the framework of ideas. For instance, on the feminist side of the isle, I could see a woman who doesn't enjoy cooking but has always felt pressured to do it when say, her brother didn't have to, using a feminist framework to understand her own experiences. I don't see an issue with that. But, for my part, I actually enjoy cooking, baking etc. That is my experience and should be just as valid. But I have had the experience of radical feminists saying "You don't really like to cook. That's just your internalized misogyny." Annoying to say the least. On the manosphere side of things, I can understand a man looking to some of their talking points to understand an experience of maybe feeling taken advantage of by a woman financially, and it's ok to not like that. Again, nothing wrong with that. It's when manosphere ideology takes over and every man doing something nice for a woman is re-framed as a near crime on her part. This is by far, not the most serious aspects of radical idelogies run amok but maybe more early warning signs to look for. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY&lc=UgzjKpw4IaHPS01v2Yx4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250324 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @cissi168 AUTHOR_ID: UCvM-n5diThYw4x1xJGluGiw TEXT: and racism is just race reversed white hatred i guess words don't have meaning anymore. god you're embarrassing ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY&lc=Ugw06ScqzUaTFFD6lNJ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250324 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @mikemikeson9173 AUTHOR_ID: UCqhnTCQozT_DCYCABxYUdhw TEXT: I've made this comparison myself many times, although perhaps not for the same reasons you state.

To me it seems like the manosphere has a kind of Hobbesian view of the world where everyone is in constant conflict with each other. A "harmless" man is therefore bad because he lacks the ability to protect, a "weak" man does more damage because he lashes out at everyone around him, and a "good" man deliberately cultivates his ability to be dangerous as a deterrent to outsiders but has enough discipline to redirect that energy as needed. Of course then comes the contradiction; one moment they're using that danger against women to keep them from finding other suitable/healthy partners and the next they're asserting that outside forces want to use that same power against women and therefore they are needed to stand against that threat (the issue of trans women in women's bathrooms/sports being a prime example), namely because they believe BOTH conditions (i.e. female approval/submission and public performance of their assumed duties) are crucial to a positive social perception which leads to acceptance. Radfems focus on the part of some men using their danger to supress/oppress women into acxepting substandard treatment and extrapolate that intention/potential to all men rather than tackling the insecurity at the root which would require acknowledging that women contribute to the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY&lc=UgxPu_R2YK8uFW-TvnN4AaABAg.AG35MfLmWZdAG46l3HOUj7 UPLOAD DATE: 20250324 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @dercooney AUTHOR_ID: UCXwNe9Keuvq5glvLcA8cmeg TEXT: this is absolutely true, it's just phrased to be provocative. i'll rephrase with fewer sharp edges: "it's really easy to be a saint in paradise". the fundamental truth is that if you're weak and ineffectual, nobody cares that you've got things under control, because you can't do anything anyway. you don't matter. if you're powerful and also kind (meek), then you have the ability to effect change and the restraint to effect good change ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY&lc=UgzjMQZtnfk769WwFd14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250324 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @patriciaturnham453 AUTHOR_ID: UC1Tm7trRm_mI2s9gTU3oxew TEXT: It took me far too long to realize that no matter how much you love someone, you can't make them love you back. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32V8_JavjwY&lc=UgxIE0jatdOT7ipzJZV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250324 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Spardeous AUTHOR_ID: UCwYhxLAOPYh3EJtKd6F_m5A TEXT: It's not gender-flipped radical feminism. Radical feminism is an attempt at usurping the natural order of men and women through ideological rearrangement. What people like Andrew Tate represent is solid pushback against the ideology. It just so happens that a system devised trying to treat these constructs neutrally(intersectionality) invariably leads to the death of the system it is imposed on. Which, in this case, is the western liberal order. When the western liberal order is deconstructed, society will revert to enterprise which excludes women almost by default (war, warlords, violence pitted against violence). But not just exclusion: subjugation. The Andrew Tate-styled man-o-sphere is minor pushback against the imposition of intersectionality on the western order. If intersectionality succeeds at toppling the west, you will see what major pushback looks like. No one who knows what this actually looks like wants it to happen.

Basically an expression of horseshoe theory, applied to the gender wars. Couple of points: 1) both sides do have actual grievances. You don't ever have any sort of mass movement without some real grievances. Hard as that may be to accept, both the rad-fems and manos have valid points they are making, and it is necessary to address those points...just not in the way they may want them addressed. 2) much of what drives the manos is behavior on dating apps. We know how toxic that all is. Similar in many ways to how myths about marriage drove the rad-fems. It is the toxicity of a specific sub-culture applied to the entirety of the group without proof. 3) culturally, the manos do have a valid point in the attention mens issues get. Almost every time a mens issue comes up, there is usually an argument about how "Well, this affects women too" or, in the case of media, "Mens issue: women most affected". This used to be the case with women's issues, too. It's one of the things the rad-fems has a legitimate complaint about. I guess its really rather sad how nobody learns from history that marginalizing a groups concerns results in backlash.

The pockets are getting picked at while the buyers are getting picked on. Why do we meet pick-me girls/"simps", male feminists, etc. with such consternation? Simple: they will say anything to weasel their way into someone's good graces and extract anything they want or need from them. No need for a personality disorder officially cited and cataloged, just a supposition that you can snatch something from another without a real effort beyond chatting them up, only to project malaise upon a person's potential clients, inducing further isolation and dependency while obviously infuriating the clients. Journalists and critics of inferior caliber as these want special privileges and access. Thus, they will entertain all sorts of conditions and concessions from publishers who prefer an edge in marketing so much. Thus, the seven-through-ten scale where 8.9 is a hearty snub. A good chunk of gaming journalism veered away from keeping topicality subliminal or subdued once readers began to criticize critics. Like anyone should grandstand. If someone offered me the chance to review a game by bestowing not just a review copy but also dongles, machine components, even entire consoles to run the program, alongside Working Designs-esque feelies and paraphernalia like posters or mugs, I might go along with it. Even if I can eviscerate the game if necessary, I would still feel like being lenient. Nobody is immune to unconscious bias. You must admit to this. You must devise workarounds like presenting both sides in an attempt to stay objective. This extends to disclosures such as what I described above. If it cannot be objective, fair, or make any effort to nit-pick, just say it's a marketing article and do not score it. Actually, this can be a good idea. They're called "puff pieces". They do occupy server space but not as intrusively or obviously as listicles do. You can discuss game mechanics or characters--something about content itself that you cannot elaborate on in a regular review--without being checked by the necessity of keeping things brief or "pure". Just quit the politics. They're the East Coast distributor of long-form impurity. The real issue is that, even if publishers ceased these quasi-unethical gimmicks (these can be extended to anybody; we recoil when the press receives them), the selfsame journos and critics will still broker deals in hopes of scoring the earliest-possible sampling and reporting on a new game to ride the novelty/hype train. Forget about oversaturated labor market for journalism--it's not because you're desperate for a "legitimate" position upgrade that you'll do anything. You do it because you might get away with it, or at least maintain your standing among those most conducive towards your career. Us dingleberries in the comments sections? Might as well be silent. Having said all that, I see it creep into the indie space just the same, Liana. I didn't expect them to be more anti-Semitic than big companies, though. Individuals, I understand. I suppose you assume big companies are less tolerant of such open discussion among employees, heeding anti-discrimination laws and maintaining a credible public image. That explains the companies, not individuals. The indie scenes' transgressions? I chock it up to the indie scene being terminally leftist. Leftism has put Hamas on a pedestal. Like I'm one to talk--my motto is, "From the Yellow River to the Pacific Ocean, still going in the same direction though!" since everyone is the reason why no-one can have nice things--but it's just not a "writ-large" thing. It's a microcosm--small potatoes. Besides, little, isolated communities are far warier of outsiders and giants. The sting of cosmic horror stories is how the entities do not care for humankind from sheer size comparison alone, irrespective of how alien and foreign their mentality is compared to ours. So, these fragmented indie tribes are suspicious of big companies, seeing them not as competition, but as a force of nature. Devolving into petty squabbling unto abject bigotry is par for the course. I don't appreciate or respect indies anymore than AAA's--they just play a different game or, if the same, with different house rules. But, I still respect and appreciate them. I do not, however, respect or appreciate game reviews courtesy of the tactics that have entered center stage and backstage in tandem, flaunting its sizeable corruption while dismissing dissenters as racist regardless of receipts. Anyway, sorry I went off in a tangent again. I hope I made some sense and that everyone has a good weekend with warm weather and chill gaming. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-T4reb7Zx8 COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-T4reb7Zx8&lc=UgwWpc4yXyfvwgvKSbR4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20241101 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: I like the video!

And I think the boys in Lord of the Flies are like 10-12 🤔 I was definitely Mari when I was a lot younger and then became Lottie when I was a teenager, with a lot of Misty too I definitely had a visceral reaction to Shauna DARVOing Jackie because that was so many people I've tried to call on their bullying or abuse. It's so accurate It's very telling that Shauna is the most evil and she is the one so many people are quick to defend, and it’s usually a form of "look what she's been through", not realising that she was awful before the crash, which seems to be telling on themselves But I really can't talk since I defended Lottie for two seasons before getting a dose of reality 😅 ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTY83gtGO_M COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTY83gtGO_M&lc=UgzINhPJ59xPxPy6Wh14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250225 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @crouchback4820 AUTHOR_ID: UCHjOQioWuDVrouVHq95F4kw TEXT: There's a phenomenon in psychology called "women-are-wonderful." It's the tendency for both men and women to have a more positive view of women. A few years back, when there was a proposed female version of Lord of the Flies, you had Roxane Gay insisting that it would work because women would never behave like that. I suspect that's part of the reason a lot of critics might have a problem with this show. Same reason there's only one female version of those "Breaking Bad" shows. Those shows are tragedies and tragedies are driven by the moral flaws of the protagonist. Producers and audiences are reluctant to see heroines who ultimately fail because of their own flaws. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTY83gtGO_M COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTY83gtGO_M&lc=UgzINhPJ59xPxPy6Wh14AaABAg.AEyaKzSn0-bAEyhyo-_i5e UPLOAD DATE: 20250225 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @neilvarma AUTHOR_ID: UC_9bX8q25qDIzzL9LSL07JQ TEXT: Julliette Lewis is awesome in this as she is always ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTY83gtGO_M COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTY83gtGO_M&lc=Ugw4Me3sxe7CqPP42054AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250225 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @michaellewis1545 AUTHOR_ID: UCz_-lre8IsZv1nPr-xgfeAQ TEXT: Yellow Jackets sound like an elaborate retelling of Jekyll and Hyde. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTY83gtGO_M COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTY83gtGO_M&lc=Ugw4Me3sxe7CqPP42054AaABAg.AEy_hqHK_JwAEydasNYgyl UPLOAD DATE: 20250225 COMMENT DATE: 2025-03-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @BetterWithBob AUTHOR_ID: UC9hTzXnwFm5KrtdC-_z9tBw TEXT: Not far off actually.

Similarly to how people have been using "growing exponentially" as a synonym for "Growing rapidly" rather than to refer to an exponential curve. Personally I don't like this development but then again, I am horrendously prescriptivist. Lastly, on the topic of feeling bad and having to respond. I feel like the powerlessness in this ongoing wave of "very-not-good-political-ideology"ism is very hurtful, especially as someone who is kind of an outsider. Not just with russia and israel, the US themselves have been doing a 1930s Germany cosplay complete with deconstructing the government and deporting unwanted people to foreign torture camps. Here in the Netherlands our biggest party are trump bootlickers doing a copy of the america first movement, more because our system is designed to be resistent to minority takeover than because they don't want to instigate the same kind of regime. At the same time, activism takes more time energy and money than I have while almost every activist group sucks... Youtube commenting is certainly seductive.

It's another case of the fallout from Hogwarts Legacy or at least the attitudes round it. For years there's been a sentiment of "Own the chuds" from certain people and if they get anywhere near any IP that was popular they're often on about how they're going to ruin the thing or change it to make people hate it so only the "new superior fans" like it. There's been years of Anita implying enjoying certain media was somehow a sign you were potentially an awful person (abuser of some kind or worse), it's notable to pushes to get GTA 5 banned used very similar Language to Anita and I think one even quoted her. It's the "This piece of media makes you a bad person you should be engaging with these other pieces instead" kind of attitude and it happened for years, I mean extra credits infamously did the "If you ever play and the Nazi side in a WWII multiplayer game and didn't refuse and quit you're probably a bad person" video. I seem to recall talking about something before online only for some-one to come in going "Don't you know how problematic that game is" because people following Anita saw it as their duty to spread her message and wake people up to how the world is bad because video game content Anita deemed bad and that hurt peoples enjoyment for making them feel like bad people. This only accelerated somehow and Hogwarts Legacy became the biggest example of it with people actively threatening on social media to work to ruin peoples lives and get them fired for playing it even harassing a Vtuber to the point they decided to quit earlier than they'd been intending to (if they were intending to). What is happening is people reaping what they sowed somewhat. With the Sarkeesianites I was somewhat less annoyed because on some level they thought they were doing good if in a misguided way and making people aware of stuff even if misguided I think people should be able to voice concern or objection if they're doing so expecting a reasoned discussion and not doing so in a "There is no discussion allowed here you do what I say or face the consequences" way some did. As the example I bring up Deadpool 2 where I refused to watch even on Disney plus and now only own a copy years on because I know it's out of print basically, I bought from a 3rd party seller all to stop the executives getting any money after their greed and corner cutting led to a stuntwoman losing her life on set in a very avoidable way in a predictable accident such that she'd already had a near miss earlier, doing the same stunt she then asked for changes on, which were refused. Or when anyone says about a Netflix show or film I say I've not seen it as I object to them not doing royalties on most shows. With the people just going on the attack with Hogwarts Legacy it felt like a real mask off moment of where it went from making people aware to just looking for an excuse to call people enemies to justify being as terrible as they wanted to said people so they could feel powerful. I've always been on the view that there should be stuff for all groups to enjoy. Maybe everything shouldn't be designed for everyone as seems to be the current media philosophy. But the current state of the culture was is such that were still dealing with the "anything deemed problematic is harmful to society and must go and woe betide anyone who stands in the way of the grand work of laying the path to utopia " kind of attitude. I mean there's a push to basically make a certain game (one I find pretty awful honestly in terms of alleged content) fully unavailable to purchase anywhere online and while as I said I find the concept pretty awful I don't think it shouldn't exist. To be somewhat consistent I have to defend it's right to exist just as the film Salo has the right to exist even if they're truly depraved and awful things because it means I can then also go "And Six Days in Fallujah has a right to exist too" without people trying to push the boundaries on what should and shouldn't be allowed to exist and going "well you were fine with getting rid of this" as any kind of argument. And that's my big dumb essay on the thing. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DgSz7JviMU COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DgSz7JviMU&lc=Ugy3pN3gJabwJz4ZDE94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250418 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @No_Name_Monke AUTHOR_ID: UCXP8EZZ_NrbwrJ_F4UsrERg TEXT: Oh Gooooosh.

People don't just do that to what's said in a video. People also do that for those who leave comments. From what I understand, those who assume bad faith and paraphrase others do so because they believe the other people are somehow your ally. They want to argue against those people, but choose to argue against you instead because of an assumed allegiance. As a matter of fact, I've given up on a lengthy back and fourth, constantly telling someone I don't know what they are talking about in their response to my comment. Simply because they keep arguing that I'm associated with people I don't know. Honestly, I think the same thing happens here. Although, I admit that this week is different. Simply because this week I believe nothing said applied to me. No point in getting into a conversation when I have no relevant points to make.

Its something I find really difficult because I generally find when I want to say anything meaningful in a comment I take ages trying to figure out the phrasing, re-reading it, re-structuring it and then after all that my brain convinces me it is just looks like an off-putting wall of text that no one would want to read and when I try to make it shorter I struggle to feel comfortable that what is left actually covers what I wanted to say. In general in the past I just ended up not posting comments at all but for some reason more recently I'm finding I want to believe that maybe I can contribute something so I'm trying to practice more. Maybe I'd do better using a different medium than a YouTube comment but then you lose the closeness and connection to the actual video. I'm still learning how to make things feel like a conversation rather than talking at and past people. Also strong agree with 28:04 and how the structure of social media encourages this kind of negative behaviour. It's got me thinking about tools YouTube could give creators for sorting through their comments (e.g. splitting / organising comments by if people are subscribed / how long they've been subscribed / how much they have watched a channel over how much time, etc etc). Makes me want to look into how social media sites in general could give creators more power and better tooling to foster the kinds of communities they want and discourage behaviour they don't want without enabling those communities to become too insular or unwilling to engage with good-faith different perspectives. I don't think that discussion would fit in a youtube comment though! I hope you have a good weekend! PS.

The old ways of story telling work on both women and men. Just because men coined the terms and framed by men doesn't mean it perpetuates the patriarchy. The psychological gender struggles doesn't fit the setting of dragon age or the writers have no interest in molding the ideology to fit established lore. There is more than enough to work with in dragon age but they don't seem to want to make that effort. Maybe it's because of fear of losing something in translation. People will spend money on the game to prove the point.

I think its strange that a hobby that, among other things, give most people so much joy – seems to have been poisoned to such a degree that saying one enjoy's a game leads to extreme comments. I like Veilguard because it has a strong sense of momentum, and superb optimization, the writing is uneven to my mind, sometimes it's great, sometimes so-so. I like Origins for different reasons, the dark fantasy and uncertainty of choices and not knowing if you made the right one's leads to it playing into a more traditional rpg-strenght. I didn't enjoy inquisition and the second game came and went to my mind. Felt unfinished. But I can understand that people feel the other way around. We are not talking about objective sentiments. Also, sharing my appreciation for Veilguard has led to being called 'stupid' and other things. As if there can only be one opinion that is valid. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gwu58C8LvCc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gwu58C8LvCc&lc=UgzCq2EMYDrZfK6YSrN4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250110 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @death31313 AUTHOR_ID: UCt7ESyPPXsSEpBbx4L6LsnQ TEXT: I'll be honest on Dragon Age Veilguard I really don't care. I have no emotional attachment to the series, from what I've seen it's not a game I'm going to buy especially not for the inflated AAA game prices. I have enough of a Steam backlog that I'll probably never play every game I own so a new game has to really stand out for me to get excited enough to pay AAA prices. All that said, I can see why some of the long time Dragon Age fans would be a bit salty about it. I've seen enough of the things I loved growing up completely twisted into something unwatchable or unplayable, and it kinda bummed me out. Because of this I tend to defer to the existing fanbase. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gwu58C8LvCc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gwu58C8LvCc&lc=UgzgAszF3-i-6c9TlFF4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250110 COMMENT DATE: 2025-02-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @MrZenpai AUTHOR_ID: UC4g9AmM824amqQC4GBwVMKg TEXT: Ya I guess simply saying a item in any type of medium is just bad cuts deeper for some folks. When someone has said that I understood they didn't like it and that was enough for me. Now a days I guess folks need to roll up a mini lab to show data analysis just to prove why they didn't like it. Folks say bad games don't exist because there are parts of it that are good or people worked really hard on it. I still think that's ridiculous to say. Ya a few things for example like music and some of the performances could be great but the over all experience can be bad. So I understand that to them it's a bad experience. I just don't get why it cuts so deep when that is understood. In a nutshell I don't think Dragon age Vanguard is a bad RPG game;: however, I think it's a bad dragon age game. I believe it lost to much core of itself that makes a dragon age game . If someone were to come to me and say they think it's a bad game.

I think most women understand this and don't want to be called hot, especially i notice this on twitch, OF girls are the ones that don't mind being called hot mostly. I think of hot i think of Amouranth from Twitch. But i always resent the accusations of "objectification" because it's based on the idea of an innate connection between male sexuality and disrespect of women for some reason, although yours is broader and more nuanced. I use the word beautiful for the women i really admire in more ways than just physically, especially being a good person. Amber Heard will always be hot but i'll never think of her as beautiful. Cute in the context of attractiveness is attractive with the implication of affection. You seem to have strong associations and feelings on your associations for the word hot, but for me it's just a celebration of base human beauty. Eve from Stellar Blade is hot. I love that. Oh and also you mentioned reclaiming words, i found ti really funny because i heard women using the word "cunty" as like a good thing recently. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc7iXSbbjTE COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc7iXSbbjTE&lc=UgxR3JdbHRbobuHRx7N4AaABAg.AMvZ9NBsSWoAMw-3qrqH1e UPLOAD DATE: 20250910 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @VolkColopatrion AUTHOR_ID: UCOVN03HyGARIHShN_n2vbbA TEXT: yes the word... uhh.

Now, there's a "Vegas Projectile Vomit" story that should serve as the prologue for this dating/relationship series. I don't understand why you're fixed on people who use the term "hot" but then don't consider the victims of such attention. It's not an issue of maturity because it works like tolerance. Stating someone is "hot" is giving them a miss or pass. It serves to instill some sort of positive value judgment that can only be born when you don't know enough about someone; their looks are in check at least. Like any kind of tolerance, however, it can be revoked on a whim and, worse, be one-way. Yet, being deemed "hot" or deeming others "hot" might not always carry a shallow value judgment. It's the foot in the door. It's the first indication that something good may come from a simple attempt. If you find nothing else, feel free to move on. Hotness itself does not equal shallowness, too. But, people think it does, whether they use the term or give the pastime a pass. They will then assume that whoever has been deemed "hot" is nothing but a nightmarish digger or pusher. So, it becomes its own kind of branding--guilty by association. Going along with never making assumptions, I do not look down on people who use the term incidentally. To be more precise, I don't equate its use as exclusively juvenile. It will happen often then and some never escape bad behaviors of childhood but, for some, it never stops happening to them--being called "hot", I mean. The one version of this I do accept is pushing it too far is the phrase, "I'd tap that!" It's a variation on the theme and closer to deliberate harm upon the person. Instead of dismissing someone as "hot", it either acknowledges profound physical magnetism at large (which is fine for the most part), or vile damnation by faint praise (tapping someone with a "horrible track record as a human being" to salvage any actual value from the person, summarily). The whole "tap" comment summarizes the "'hot' as toxic" conversation better than the far-too-broad use of the term "hot". I can't wrap my head around this. Where I'm from, we have equal treatment (under the law). You're welcome to try regardless of how far you'll get, but it's better to know firsthand than look back with regret. Anyway, I take offense in specific instances, not from something generalized. You can't just say, "the kid keeps picking on me!" you must say, "the kids are all picking on me and in the same impossibly frustrating way!" I'm willing to bet that if I had money, I'd be one of those laughably unique and distinguished charismatics lining up for parts in British televised programming just as well. Instead, I didn't have any and was subjected to emasculation, infantilization and abject arm's-length helicopter teaching (later parenting after graduating high school). So, I couldn't accrue any personal wealth or finances and am summarily out of the billing for any kind of relationship. Being called "Hot", even if being henpecked about it, is the least of my problems. You can even isolate the inverse, not being allowed to express any kind of assessment or affectation, as toxic in how it foments resentment. That's the issue people have with political correctness. If someone sits around policing the fact that you're not even allowed to bring up an issue, what makes the jerk think transgressors will abide whatever consequences will be enforced? That narrows down why you have Western games with developers in thrall to PC creating characters with blunted, muted sexual characteristics, only to then be out-marketed and out-performed by Eastern games like Stellar Blade--a development culture that acknowledges but does not make its games swim face first through the concepts of leftism. Anybody read Ecclesiastes--that part about there being a time for virtually anything and everything imaginable and real all at once? Or, that song by the Byrds? Wanting to be regarded as a sexual being where no such attention exists is a painful experience. Being objectified as a commodity through an incidentally sexual lens might be worse. Is the tossing of the term "HOT" here and there grievous moral harm, then? In specific cases--where it infringes on someone's personal esteem--sure, it can. To me, "Hot" is just a shut door. Never venturing inside is either "Tap the Door" or "Ignore the Door". I'm not sure which of these is worse, but mere "Hotsicity" doesn't really compare to either. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc7iXSbbjTE COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc7iXSbbjTE&lc=Ugyi_G9eRw7w6yNAbB14AaABAg.AMuEjwQjIRFAMwwUWJg83E UPLOAD DATE: 20250910 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: So... because you're never going to be on the receiving end of an objectifying phrase, you look down on people who have experienced that and want to talk about the problems with it?

Just never described as "hot". Even in a Yankee region. It was always a sarcastic, ironic approach. I fail to see the distinction. One is an expression that has become toxic, the other is an ongoing thing that was featured in an episode of The Simpsons, delving in Homer's past in high school. My seeming disregard stems from the idea of the phenomenon being isolated to the use of a single word, passed around by who we imagine are automatically vapid without odds of salvaging. Why go into a hot tub with those people? "Oh, I meant that Chris, over there!" Why not me? That world does sound very aggravating, but only if you've never been there. People would get used to heads exploding whenever someone sings "Happy Birthday" if it happened often enough. It sounds like something to avoid, but I'm naturally curious: why would singing "Happy Birthday" cause someone's head to explode, be it a listener or the singer, at seeming random? I would have liked it to be genuine truth, believe it or not, of someone thinking I'm worth tapping. The game of calling one another "hot" and "not" doesn't look as horrible--just immature. And no, just because I am skeptical of the debate over hotness being toxic now doesn't mean I wasn't harassed, ever. Also, I never knew "I'd Tap That" comes from Magic the Gathering players. That surprises me, believe it or not. I don't even know how the etymology could have coalesced. Still, another reason to avoid playing Magic the Gathering. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc7iXSbbjTE COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc7iXSbbjTE&lc=Ugy6HUlcFFGa1QarCO14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250910 COMMENT DATE: 2025-09-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @edmundolastra3279 AUTHOR_ID: UCvXXAoQAJJcxTX37VTifSOA TEXT: You know.

In all seriousness, this should be relationships 101. Pirsuing a mate purely based on physical appearcene is incredibly shallow, and a surefire way to end up in an empty loveless relationship where everyone is miserable. And the fact that there are people who do have this all-or-nothing way of thinking of judging people as "Hot" or "Ugly", is indicitive of a lack of maturity, because this is basically no different than an overly-hormonal teenager going "Awooga!" towards anyone they deem as attractive. Not to mention, it reeks of entitlement and acting like you're owed a supermodel mate just spawning into your very presence by powers that be. Just because someone is conventionally attractive, doesn't inheritly mean that their a good person.(I'm convinced, more people need to listen to Elvis' song Devil in Disguise. Or at the very least learn to be more cognisent of the halo effect.) And, I fully admit that this next park may be a biproduct of me living in defense mode, but do people these days lack a proper danger sense? It's like, one of the main reason why I completely gave up on making meaningful connections with people is because I always anticipate that likelihood that they might be bad medicine for me, or see the relationship as purely transactional. I mean a woman can be built like Krystal from Star Fox, Lola Bunny, Judy Hopps, Caramelita Fox or a Dude can be built like Leomon, or Doggie Kruger, or Ben Bigger(I'm not a furry BTW, those are some examples that immediately come to mind) and can lowkey be very toxic people. Likewise, it'd be extremely hypocritical for me to take digs at people soley for their looks given that I struggle with self image issues(I often compare myself to a Bulldog), and it's just another component of the combiner mech that is my absolutely chopped mental state. Hence why again, I really don't understand the mindset of the people who resort to "I feel personally attacked by what you said, so I'm going to fly off the handle and attack your looks because I let my insecurites control my life, and I have the emotional regulation of a moldy cantaloupe!"(Seriously, you're not ugly, and I don't mean that in that faux nice guy "You're not conventionally attractive but I stil think you're pretty" way. And I'm utmost convinced that the people who think that are just either projecting their own insecurities, or are so gooner brained, that they think any woman who isn't built like Mai Shiranui is "Ugly".)

Take the actual main protagonist, for instance. The Black Mage is hinted at being played by a ludicrously angsty twelve year-old edge-lord who's crushing on the dungeon master's girlfriend, who plays the White Mage. If you don't believe me, read the first few strips, then read the last twelve or so strips, for the Guiness World Record of longest-gestated callback joke in any work of fiction, ever. It's not pretty. If you knew the late-2,000's net/pop culture, you'd get it. The whole comic is unnerving once viewed this way, in fact. The DM, who's likely college-educated or at least just far older as his apparent sweetheart (who probably role-plays so that her priestess player character disparages the openly flesh-seeking astrologist in the room), has such an ego or mad jealousy in how this dumb kid manages to suck attention away from the girl he's trying to either impress or cater to. "I mean, how can he possibly delude himself into believing he has any possible chance with my bride in real life?" Therefore, the DM turns the act of clowning the edgy kid at every opportunity, in front of the other players, at the table, session after session, into a moral imperative. Thus, the campaign world--the whole planet, really--literally opposes and despises the Black Mage at every opportunity unto abject derision with such mathematical certainty that you start to question the validity of both the world and the cause of saving said world. That kind of ruination. You cannot convince me to play a tabletop game, but I will gladly write modules for them. 8-Bit Theater taught me that. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QQsJflZoZw COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QQsJflZoZw&lc=Ugxow-UEvZ05_9tV_tF4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260120 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @corywooton9962 AUTHOR_ID: UCI6JIN39izeO9bhfrcZvKHw TEXT: So, I think theres a fundamental misunderstanding of how the game spaces work here. The biggest change that comes with TTRPG’s being more popular is if you talk about enjoying it you’re not immediately looked down on. The strength of TTRPGs is when your at a table with your friends is your groups is totally in control of the type of game you want. It dosent matter what critical role or what ever big groups or channel is doing, you’re play group is in total control. With that in mind it makes no sense to be gate keepy about the hobby. It dosent matter who’s part of the hobby you still pick and choose the groups you want to be a part of. This rant just kinda sounds like some one who feels like you wanted your hobby to be what made you unique and it’s harder to feel that way when the hobby is popular. I don’t say that to be mean at all, but having that kind of mindset does cause these kind of issues. No one’s special because of their hobby’s, hobby’s are special because of who enjoys them, and the groups of friends you make around it. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QQsJflZoZw COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QQsJflZoZw&lc=Ugzh6k9YrApOmrp16Rx4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260120 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @MichaelBirks AUTHOR_ID: UCTaI2DCy7X7Nbp3ih8cHELQ TEXT: Not that the 40k fandom isn't already about sex.

So, Pros and Cons, eh? I don't want to completely make light of the plight of having the niche thing you're into become popular with a MUCH larger audience. There for sure are gonna be downsides to that, and it's okay to be bummed by them. As a "historical" example, I'm pretty sure people who were REALLY into the Fantastic 4 were petty bummed when the really not great movies took most of the spotlight for the wider audiences. Or some of the older DnD movies to stay closer to topic. Still, I think the positives outweigh the negatives. All the old good stuff is still there, and (in most cases hopefully) even easier to access now. Plus, like Liana mentioned, the things getting more eyeballs on them does mean we also get some real cool new things too. As for the "Cool kids" stuff? Eh, cool is relative. Liana and her DnD pals sound a lot cooler than the friend groups I had in school. Tried to join into start up DnD group in highschool, and after the first meet up the whole thing just went dead. Didn't even get a fun (in retrospect) story out of it. Thing just died before it even really started. Compared to that, a small group of buds getting together on the regular to play multiple complains sounds rad as hell! Granted, I am a nerd who grew up in the same State Gary Gygax lived predominately in, so maybe that tints my vision that way as a side effect. I am trying to say though, that it seems to be an issue of perspective. Yeah, the niche thing getting more popular can mean that the most viewed bit of it can be of low quality, but we still have the good previous stuff AND still get more good new stuff as well. Heck, wait a while and that low quality bit of it may end up replaced with something actually good getting more eyes on it later too. To reiterate, I am mostly unfamiliar with the negative stuff about "Professional DnD", so maybe if I actually knew more about it my opinion would be different. As it stands, I can only go off what I've experienced as consequences of Professional DnD, which is mostly more BIG media things that were fun, and lots of smaller (relative to things like Critical Roll and what not) DnD things popping up, where they might have not previously been able to be sustained. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QQsJflZoZw COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QQsJflZoZw&lc=UgyUwibQheYnAO7KawV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260120 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @nobleradical2158 AUTHOR_ID: UC0ve9O5XR6TaG8p3GC6RWKQ TEXT: DnD can still be a "group of absolute idiots becoming good friends" and be "vulnerable and chaotic".

Just because "the cool kids" start doing something does not make that thing less special to everyone else. The moment dnd became a product on a shelf it became about money, but they had a much more narrow target audience so it felt a lot more unique for that narrow group who really connected with it. And because it wasn't mainstream, the negative aspects also were generally not mainstream. Yes, there are now a binch of people who use dnd for their own bad purposes, but there are TONS more who have gotten into it because they enjoy it. People die in car accidents far more often these days than they did in the 1900, but that isn't because car manufacturers are money grabbers (bad taste in my mouth there...), or because the people driving them are inherently worse people, but because there are SO many more cars and drivers. And you cannot say the worse situation was the Eddy DM, just because it wasn'tpart of your experience, there were plenty of bad players and DMs and people in the company, but they were less noticeable because it wasn't publicized. The number negative stories increase as the pool of TOTAL stories increases, and the bad actors in the industry are more apparent as things become more mainstream. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QQsJflZoZw COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QQsJflZoZw&lc=UgxgWssn-yy5PL4OSjt4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260120 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: Let the cool shirt be with you.

Many women see bosses and husbands as getting away with their tantrums. While men think of Karen's and Mothers at hospitals as getting away with theirs. These situations are simultaneously seen as accepted behavior while also being rejected in hindsight. I believe what's really happening is that there are just certain spaces where particular people's tantrums aren't confronted. Male bosses aren't confronted for their tantrums because they hold power over their employees. And women flying off the handle at customer service counters are seen as trivial and not worth getting involved. Or a mother at a hospital is seen as very likely to be justified in her emotions. It's hard to say who has more spaces and opportunities to behave unruly without being stopped. There's hundreds of examples on all sides If you're being fair. But the truth is that none of these behaviors are ever truly accepted. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y29f2ZcVOek COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y29f2ZcVOek&lc=UgzpqrNPhOOxwdwR7NN4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251215 COMMENT DATE: 2025-12-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: I'm still learning.

Where Women's anger(Well atleast the socially acceptiable brand of it) is seen as a bold and empowering, and met with thunderous cheers of "Yes queen! Put that chauvanistic pig in his place!" Where men's anger is just seen as a major red flag, and emblematic of male tantrums. It's all one big case of "We're allowed to get angry at you for whatever reason we want, but you're not allowed to get angry back. And you're also not allowed to question it." And it all just gives me a constant sense of being fed up with being treated like the second coming of the Isla Vista killer just for standing up for myself and refusing to be treated like a punching bag for every militant misandrist feminist on Earth. It shouldn't be unreasonable for men to go "Hey, don't use me as a target for your revenge when I've done nothing wrong to you, I'm not responsible for every bad man on the planet!" But alas, the minute you bring it up, you get accused of trying to play the "Not all men" card, and branded as fragile for it. It's one thing if it's someone who is predisposed to violent or menacing behavior and has had a track record of violent outbursts, I totally agree, that should be a justifiable reason to be on the defensive. At the same time, treating joe average dude on the same level as the type of slimy abusive sleazoid you would see in a Lifetime TV movie is just going to make everyone worse off. Likewise, That whole "Men's anger has more social weight" thing, just rubs me the wrong way. It's just reeks of Apex Fallacy. Where it's eroniously assuming that just because those men in the upper eschelons of society get away with heinous acts, that means that the entire male populace are given an automatic get out jail free card. That's also my problem with the notion that "Boys will be boys" is this magic phrase that just absolves boys of straight up sexual misconduct. It's just making alot of sweeping generalizations, and misplaced anger. Again, It's one thing if it's some scumbag nepo baby who gets bailed out on daddy's money for their bad actions, but to treat it like it applies to the joe avarage man is just completely off base. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y29f2ZcVOek COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y29f2ZcVOek&lc=UgyCdzG01J4DPMmZ_PB4AaABAg.AQl8ZRucDVYAQlPHrvwJiF UPLOAD DATE: 20251215 COMMENT DATE: 2025-12-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @saimiri.

Most likely paraphrased. Sorry. "You don't know how scary a man's anger is to women." Sounds to me like a potential insecure abuse tactic. Saying, "I can do as I please, and you are not allowed to react in any negative way." I did my time having to tolerate that from my stepfather. I won't tolerate it from anyone else. No matter what it was. Shove fingers into my collarbone, causing pain. I had to have the right reaction. Or he would make it worse. Not allowed to cry when he physically hurt me to feel big. I wasn't allowed to express my dislike when he was mentally and emotionally abusing me. Had to force a smile, like it's all a joke. Even now, sometimes I am trying not to smile when someone harasses me in certain ways. Or when I am nervous. Took me years to be able to say no. I told him to stop. He'd either mock me. Or get angry with me for being a "misery guts," or "DON'T BACKCHAT ME!" With the occasional hit or battering. He will die a lonely man. And it is all his fault. While yes, he had a nasty bully of an abusive father. However, that does not excuse his behaviour. So if I am in the presence of a woman who reminds me of him in some way. I'm not going to be nice to her. Now, this is not an excuse for physical violence. Unless I have no other choice. I was afraid of my brother's anger for years. When they'd just shove me in the embarrassment corner and bully me for being in it. Then be nice when they want something. I used to be afraid to say no. Being afraid of the anger of someone stronger than me, whom I can't protect myself against. Luckily, when I had had enough and started saying no. (If they get violent, they can be arrested.) I was lucky to never receive any anger, which would be devastating. It was pathetic listening to a sad little constant plea and watching one of them mess with my laptop keys to try to annoy me. Still said no. A few months back, the other twin of my older brothers asked my mother to get £700 off me for a car part. And not to tell me what it's for. (Why did he think that would work? I don't know.) And his anger was essentially texts and words over the phone like hearing a teenager throw a temper tantrum. Suffice to say, I have cut him off. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y29f2ZcVOek COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y29f2ZcVOek&lc=UgyFg8KWBBdohs88KKN4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251215 COMMENT DATE: 2025-12-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Blunderful_Disasterpiece AUTHOR_ID: UCVpt99B2qL6cigCquIMJkcw TEXT: I wonder if the way women are conditioned to approach to men's feelings is more about how to anticipate/mitigate them. Rather than understand/encourage them. It seems every Woman Von Internet talks a big game when it comes to wanting an "emotionally mature man", but it's shocked Pikachu's all around when a man stands up for himself in the face of emotional manipulation. I would also say that, regardless of how real the fear is, if you're controlling someone's behaviour with said fear: That's emotional manipulation and you are in a position of power over that person. Period. It gets tricky with anger because of it's link to violence (even though violence can come from dispassionate cruelty or quiet hatred just as easily). But someone who isn't allowed to be angry is someone who fundamentally isn't allowed to defend themselves to the hilt. It teaches men to accept degrading treatment until they literally can't take it any more. More people (men especially) need to be told that anger isn't bad. Even if angry people sometimes do bad things. Seeing anger as a strong desire to protect yourself, rather than an impulse to lash out can be part of healthy expression. I don't remember where I heard it but someone said "anger is the emotion that loves you the most, all it wants if for you to be safe". I try to remember that. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y29f2ZcVOek COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y29f2ZcVOek&lc=UgyFg8KWBBdohs88KKN4AaABAg.AQl0mIPxaamARygfiCRwLW UPLOAD DATE: 20251215 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @GlacieraBr1de AUTHOR_ID: UC7CATMtau_WponnRQ6mAkow TEXT: Why should I put up with an angry man?

The stories she told me, I tell you what. I won't spill any tea, but if you ever hear the Nick Gilder song, Hot Child In The City, pay close attention to the lyrics. Its been 15 years ( this month) that she passed away. I still miss her. When she was a teen she tried to dye her hair black! This striped the red out and she had to dye it red. Her colour was Copper Red. I used to enjoy buying her hair dye with her at London Drugs. Her scent was Poison by Dior. It was distinctive but I hardly ever smell it any more, but when I do it brings me back to 1998, when we made love for the first time, while Shania Twain's Still The One was playing on the radio.😢 ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szeYM2Jn5EE COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szeYM2Jn5EE&lc=UgyS1gbWS_trsQhB6Xp4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250613 COMMENT DATE: 2025-06-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @wilcox660 AUTHOR_ID: UCl-ALmqTzMzUap2ILvFnK2A TEXT: When I watch your videos, I feel mine are pretty low rent in comparison!

The problem being people feel they need to do something. It's modern social credit only unlike Sesame credit there's no actual score and rather than the government coming after you it's activists who have more people than you (unless you have a big presence online or following), more time than you and have now deemed you their enemy to defeat and the more unhinged ones will cause chaos for you for example the current stuff with people in the Hasan orbit calling child protective services on Ethan Klein before and that was done by pro Anita supporters to Alpha Omega Sin too. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DOIOhyPVos COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DOIOhyPVos&lc=UgyWoCK7nQfuq66_D-Z4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250815 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ArveEriksson AUTHOR_ID: UCf5jIB7FhINssSYNIndlbsw TEXT: o_O I was not offended at all.

I mean yes the examples you gave are valid. Hamas, an organization that started this conflict by literally filming themselves committing war crimes is not above stealing food from their own people, but the overall cause for the conditions of the famine are the insistence on the increasingly extremist and right wing Israeli government on continuing the siege of Gaza despite the pleas of all of their allies, and while an individual photo of a person in Gaza can easily be fabricated or taken out of context, statements by Israeli government officials of intent to permanently occupy Gaza and deport Gazans elsewhere, ariel photos of Gaza showing the damage. 2000lb munitions being dropped on Gaza. The sheer amount of journalists dying over there (source: BBC) every single day. These are things that are not the result of Hamas manipulation or bad faith actors in the west. Honestly the ICJ case form South Africa does a much better job of laying out a genocide claim than I can. You're right that we can't really stop what's happening at this point, but perhaps some day there can be some accountability for the people in the Israeli government currently ordering and committing these war crimes. The people who did October 7th held accountable by the IDF hours after they did it. I don't think there are many of them left alive at this point (good, fuck em), meanwhile the war criminals in Israel are free to travel throughout Europe and the U.S. giving speeches and attending fundraisers. The hope in characterizing what is going on as a genocide is that maybe 10 or 20 years from now there will be charges laid against these people for some of the things they did during this conflict. As a Jewish person I do hope that one day people who were directly involved in these horrific actions will never be able to set foot in a reform synagogue ever again and that moderate, centrist jews will look at Israel the same way that moderate muslims look at some of the regimes that claim to represent their religion. We might not be able to build peace in the region, but we can build peace outside of it. It's about the best we can hope for at this point. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DOIOhyPVos COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DOIOhyPVos&lc=Ugz4pDbOEysY_tdSm5h4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250815 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @meowth900 AUTHOR_ID: UCiUmYH0eSlJFQ45-7O7IMEg TEXT: Idk what I was supposed to get offended by.

Fully understand you're risking that it will paint a target on ya. That said, from my own perspective, I found your position to be a reasonable one.

Whatever name given to what's going on over there, it's probably not good, or legal. Plus, as I mentioned (in an admittedly glib way), I could be wrong about the full truth of what's happening. I'm pretty sure, but to keep the theme going; as many an X-com player has said, "*Sad Sigh* That 95% is gonna miss again, isn't it?". (Wild sidenote: Do ya think X-com players would have been as upset about misses if they had adopted a dice representation of chance instead of percents? Cause 5% is just a natural 1's possibility. Pop up all the time in TTRPGs or Baldur's Gate 3-ish games.) Anyway! Don't want to be greedy, take advantage of your grace, and talk endlessly about this subject.

According to Israel, Hamas is 40k people and they can put a dent into a supply of food that is supposedly enough for 2 million? Each one of those members would need to personally fill dozens of trucks full of food a day, just like the "election stealers" would have needed to spin millions of votes out of the air to swing election results.

One reason why the USA is so polarized could be that, since the fall of communism, we as a nation no longer have a great satan to fight against and the various factions are desperately searching for a new satan. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DOIOhyPVos COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DOIOhyPVos&lc=UgzwK9Oi4pkYgOoc7kZ4AaABAg.ALqlP52o-sEALqqz4NnoNw UPLOAD DATE: 20250815 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: I share this theory. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DOIOhyPVos COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DOIOhyPVos&lc=UgzgeSa05oRBAkGju1V4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250815 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @eyezerocool AUTHOR_ID: UCvhvD480jaXZzYAh543kLpA TEXT: I feel like increasing the public forum access had made things worse.

Kyle traveled "across state lines" to aid his employer and friend in the defense of their business against a bunch of rioters whose only desire was to burn shit down. That said, whether he was right to do that or not, he was there. He got separated from his friends when providing First Aid to some folks. It was at this time that a mob of rioters began persuing him down a street in sight of the police. The 2 bastards he killed and the one he maimed set upon him with intent to kill him. This is evidenced when they clap him with a skateboard and one of them brandishes a pistol. Another split-second and Kyle would have died instead of the creeps. It's important to context that they all had rather lengthy and terrible criminal records. So what people are mad about is that some scum who were ostensibly in support of their cause are dead and a supporter of the other side is not. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DOIOhyPVos COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DOIOhyPVos&lc=Ugy0QeVCpJezR5Zda6N4AaABAg.ALqgnVbk-ejALqmWUHKxhg UPLOAD DATE: 20250815 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @jamcalx AUTHOR_ID: UCTPdbE8M1dT-d83KwktUJFA TEXT: Facts. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DOIOhyPVos COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DOIOhyPVos&lc=Ugy0QeVCpJezR5Zda6N4AaABAg.ALqgnVbk-ejAM0H9I_lawF UPLOAD DATE: 20250815 COMMENT DATE: 2025-08-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @michaelhurlbut4830 AUTHOR_ID: UCMDlgqV3NRkKrE_nd5zJESg TEXT: Self-defense is allowed in America.

It's a combination of a weighted chain (the "kusari") and a sickle/hand scythe (the "kama", or "-gama" as a suffix). The kama is an ordinary farming tool that is easily repurposed into a weapon with minimal effort while not being easily identified as one (thus being a favored defense weapon of shinobi pretending to be meek peasants). The weighted chain was primarily used to help scale walls, but could be used to ensnared the weapons and limbs of enemies in combat, thus making a versatile tool. While I've heard a lot of controversies about Shadows, most if not all of them were aimed at Yasuke and what you can do as him (almost no one that I follow even talks about the female playable character). I admit I suspect the reason that Yasuke was only chosen as the male playable character as he's the only historical black man in Japan at that time period Ubisoft really wants to try to make sure their game is just the right level of "diverse" for "modern audiences", but honestly I don't care one way or another. I've never played an AC game before, but from what I've heard I would like to play Shadows, unfortunately I doubt my current "gaming" laptop may be able to be up to that task. Alas, I guess I'll have to wait until I'm forced to get a new laptop in the 5-10 years that's unable to play the newest games of that time but has just enough specs to play the new games of this year. But honestly, as someone who consumes a lot of fantasy anime (including the dreaded "isekai" subgenre), I'm getting sick and tired of the over used Dragon Quest-inspired (which in itself is more than like D&D-inspired who is in turn Tolkien-inspired) paint by numbers European fantasy world with its adventure's guild and demon lords and strategically placed scraps of armor that is worn over clothes more often suspiciously way too modern for the time period. I want some Asian inspired fantasy worlds, gosh darn it and not just the token monk/samurai/martial artist from a foreign land. Yes, I know MTG just dropped their new Tarkir set and I know there's a new season of Avatar on the horizon, but I want something other than another TaRaVatar: The Last Dragon Bender (seeing as I'm not an internet celebrity, I hopefully won't be cancelled by Twitter/X). ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIMRUspibQc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIMRUspibQc&lc=Ugw7CK9mn7sLTZ8QX1R4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250408 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @gundamforreal AUTHOR_ID: UCxfD4GUd6h7DrTM7kg9BYLw TEXT: While this discussion is mostly about the political side of the game, this terminal weeb wants to take the opportunity to tear AC Shadows a new one for the surface level "immersive mode". As usual, subs look like subs f9r the dub rather than then subs for the Japanese dialogue. Names are changed for no reason other than maybe "oh our western audience will be more familiar with this name", and random Japanese words are being thrown in the English subs because "weebs like this reference" or something. Like, why use "kakurega" in your English subs when "hideout" would suffice? The worst offender is the use of "chichiue" to mean "father" when the Japanese dialogue says "otou".

People with impulsecontroll issues or gambling addictions supposedly have way harder times with the microtransation thing. Apparentl, the "grind" isn't so much an option as it is an annoyance. Something to gnaw away at the person's resolve against buying.

And while I know the "a black man in my game? DEI garbage" people exist, as well as "a small breasted woman? Double DEI garbage" exist, too, things go deeper than that. Also, I avoid channels where that's the extent of their talking point. This game was touted for being historically accurate at all while they outright stole content from a modern group of some kind, can't find the details on it to speak thoroughly about it. Then there's the one leg torii gate figure, where the well known actual one leg torii gate is a result of half of one surviving one of the nuclear bombs and being left as a monument, not some intentional structure. There are valid controversies to be annoyed with Ubisoft, and that's not taking into account my other comment. And compared to Ghost of Tsushima, where they admitted to intentionally dressing people inaccurately because it was cooler and/or more well known to modern people, especially outside of Japan, implying they did do research. And claims they got the sword wrong, well, Gaijin Goombah made a good point, where if you listen to the Japanese audio, they say tachi, not katana, which is proof they actually did do their research and knew what they were doing. He also proposed katana in English text and audio was likely also due to modern non-Japanese people in particular not knowing what a tachi was, especially given other things like clothing/armor and actually saying tachi in Japanese. Ghost of Tsushima was encouraged, and listened to advice, to not use historical figures, which just flat out avoids any of the controversies inflamed by Yasuke going beyond just being an NPC. One game dev company was respectful and worthy of respect, the other careless, egotistical, disrespectful, and worthy of scorn. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIMRUspibQc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIMRUspibQc&lc=UgzuAJMa2siAYfnEYO14AaABAg.AGfjsj8J25DAGgcOLeanXY UPLOAD DATE: 20250408 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Rosalhymn AUTHOR_ID: UCBqL39wIakynrel6Cf-WnKg TEXT: the problem was raraly Small breasts, but rather just ugly faced females with cancer haircuts u dotn need to be a bombshell to be pretty ; appealing in some way (ANY way) or just averagely attractive ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIMRUspibQc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIMRUspibQc&lc=UgzD6ry0PNHNXdOZ0a94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250408 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @SiliconSlyWolf AUTHOR_ID: UCnywu6cvCNbmO58_CsbYGyw TEXT: I have no other reason necessary than one to hate Ubisoft, and to want this game to have failed.

Also, the 'AC is historically accurate' thing - it's basically interactive Ancient Aliens conspiracy nonsense where the 'accuracy' amounts to the detail of building recreations. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIMRUspibQc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIMRUspibQc&lc=Ugz-7cBLSXAjh_Zezkh4AaABAg.AGeiFJlwklbAGfEGoLMMuw UPLOAD DATE: 20250408 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @dercooney AUTHOR_ID: UCXwNe9Keuvq5glvLcA8cmeg TEXT:  @SavageBroadcast  he's barely historical - there are 2 pages, and if they used that info, people would be super angry - guy is strong, can't speak japanese, and is viewed as somewhat of a curiousity. anyway, yes, AC is supposed to be historical, or at least walk it close to the line. that was its main appeal - get a feel for the setting in its historical context, all the while fighting the eternal bad guys. secondarily, fans have been pushing for a japan based entry, so doing that but refusing to let you play as a japanese guy was disrespectful to the community, never mind the thing with the shrine - even the PM called them out on that ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIMRUspibQc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIMRUspibQc&lc=Ugz-7cBLSXAjh_Zezkh4AaABAg.AGeiFJlwklbAGfRKJ4xQHl UPLOAD DATE: 20250408 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @SavageBroadcast AUTHOR_ID: UCoDWIVK1rlUF1LIOkBvI6CA TEXT:  @dercooney  Not sure how embellishing Yasuke is meaningfully different from what AC did to other historical figures. They changed plenty of things about Rodrigo Borgia, as one example; had DaVinci's inventions work when they either never did or weren't produced in real life, as another. Never mind how different the Templars and Assassins are from the actual historical organizations. The historicty of the games begins and ends with aesthetic - the worlds are well detailed, but they get plenty of things wrong/changed for the sake of gameplay too. Shadows isn't particularly notable, in this sense. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIMRUspibQc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIMRUspibQc&lc=Ugz-7cBLSXAjh_Zezkh4AaABAg.AGeiFJlwklbAGfS53rSjAD UPLOAD DATE: 20250408 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @dercooney AUTHOR_ID: UCXwNe9Keuvq5glvLcA8cmeg TEXT:  @SavageBroadcast  they took a slave who was in nobunaga's court briefly and made him a samurai who could travel freely. we don't even know his real name, so that isn't remotely the same ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIMRUspibQc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIMRUspibQc&lc=Ugz-7cBLSXAjh_Zezkh4AaABAg.AGeiFJlwklbAGgIKUnWbQF UPLOAD DATE: 20250408 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @SavageBroadcast AUTHOR_ID: UCoDWIVK1rlUF1LIOkBvI6CA TEXT:  @dercooney  And Borgia wasn't responsible for the Pazzi Conspiracy either.

But all that "research" will also be for nothing if they decide to use nothing of it because some one has the opinion that its not "cool" enough - whatever that means... From my understanding; the older AC games were promoted promoted as historical fiction with Sci Fi elements. They would of couse be so historical accurate that they could with the story they wanted to tell, but the games wasn't promoted as 'historical accurate'. Around AC Unity and AC Origins is where I can remember that historical accuracy were used more in promotions of those games than before. Of course Ubisoft are free to promote their games in any way that they would like. But claiming words like 'historical accuracy' creates expectations. Expectations that wouldn't even have been there had they stuck to 'Historical fiction(not fantasy, those two are seperate)' and 'Sci-fi' in their promotion of these games. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIMRUspibQc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIMRUspibQc&lc=UgxNS3rWweKyidbkrOB4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250408 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @l01230123 AUTHOR_ID: UCmtwKe1_WUzazk7OAC_GOCA TEXT: Fair points as usual 👍 ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIMRUspibQc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIMRUspibQc&lc=UgwEl2oayrR1Pk81DF94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250408 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @pandatree66 AUTHOR_ID: UCvc_U9IKVWer8W0O7Gnqg1g TEXT: I'm suprised people still care for assassin's creed funny enough cause I remember when people said the game series was dead after 3 but people liked black flag so maybe it had a resurgence but then people hated the native american one.

The sword case looks similar, but they are clearly different swords. The metal colours are different, there's black, and a diamond pattern. They are just different swords, maybe it was inspired by Zoro's or vice versa? Yeah, it is a "real" physical sword that exists, like you could cut things with it.

It's like if someone makes a direct-to-video version of a blockbuster, no one asked for it, no one needs it. It's just there. That's what Shadows feels like due to the fact that it came out after Ghost of Tsushima. They missed the boat, that's all. Play Ghost of Tsushima instead if you want your fix of Japanese open-world samurai action. There was no lies about Shadows. It's a mediocre game that pretends it's historically accurate, while also being filled to the brim with modern day ideology and sensibilities. If it was the first time Ubisoft had done this, they might have gotten some leeway. I would argue they actually did get quite a lot of leeway when they did similar things to Valhalla with Nordic culture and history, but enough is enough. Pick a lane. Market it as a fantasy game if you want to fill it with modern day nonsense, don't pretend this is historically accurate in any way.

It also wasn't as forced as it is with Shadows (using Yasuke as the main character was a complete swing and a miss). It's like they market the game as if it was Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, but what you end up with is something completely different. They did the same thing with Skull & Bones, where they marketed it as this accurate pirate world where you could explore the time period. And what you got when it finally came out made Pirates of the Caribbean look like a documentary. If you're making a period piece it at least has to feel authentic. There has to be a foundation to build on. In games like AC2 they did this well, where the world was essentially historically accurate, as was the side characters, but you were thrust into it through the Animus, so right off the bat you felt out of time. That was a cool juxtaposition. What they are doing now though? That feels more like re-rewriting history. They present it as if it was accurate, and no attempt at differentiating between what is fiction and what is history. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIMRUspibQc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIMRUspibQc&lc=UgxtAu3AVpLalHgDZSl4AaABAg.AGeWOLKrkeLAGeoQ2DCrvW UPLOAD DATE: 20250408 COMMENT DATE: 2025-04-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @l01230123 AUTHOR_ID: UCmtwKe1_WUzazk7OAC_GOCA TEXT:  @Cimlite  Mb on the name, haven't played AC since 2.

"The male erasure (and especially "white" aka light skinned European male) has been systemic for decades now. "The thing about calling DEI 'economic genocide' is that it undersells it yes, young White men were systematically excluded from careers during their peak marriage years, but that's just first-order effects. second-order: marriage market collapse. women date across and up. men without careers become invisible to the women who would have married them and disappear. the "eligible bachelor" pool shrinks. third-order: fertility crisis. fewer marriages, fewer children. but it's worse than just men not marrying or having families. the women who "won" the DEI lottery got careers instead of families, delayed fertility until it was too late. DEI attacked family formation from both sides, excluded men from provider roles AND diverted women from their fertility window. everyone lost. fourth-order: psychological. young men couldn't even name what was happening to them. the same institutions that excluded them told them they were "privileged", that complaining was proof of weakness. so they internalized failure as personal inadequacy rather than systemic rigging, retreated into depression, video games, porn. the symptoms we then pathologized as "male failure". the system broke them (on purpose) and blamed them for being broken. fifth-order: institutional trust gone. once you know positions are filled by demographics rather than competence, every credential becomes suspect (if not a priori worthless). is your doctor qualified or a diversity hire? your pilot? your engineer? you can't prove any individual is incompetent, but you can't trust any individual is competent either. medicine skepticism, academic failure, media skepticism, none of this emerged organically. it was manufactured by the DEI hire you can't be sure is qualified to treat you. sixth-order: reality became unspeakable. noticing any of this was a fireable offense. pointing out the obvious got you called a bigot, deplatformed or fired. pure totalitarian censorship and the problem couldn't even be acknowledged (until now, finally) men knew they were being cheated but couldn't say it. women sensed something was wrong with the men but couldn't identify it. relationships poisoned by a dynamic neither party could name. seventh-order: the feedback loop. fewer eligible men means more women competing for a shrinking pool, more women losing the marriage market, more resentment, more "men are trash", more support for DEI, fewer eligible men and the system accelerates itself. and the worst part is that DEI was just the economic arm. the same people and institutions pushed the complete package "toxic masculinity" to pathologize male identity "the future is female" as explicit zero-sum framing delusion "believe all women" to weaponize trust against men "men are trash" to normalize open contempt a coordinated ideological assault on family formation. and it even had a business model. HR departments exploded (millions of jobs invented to administer the regime). DEI consultants became a multi-billion dollar industry. politicians got voting blocs dependent on racial grievance. established boomers kept their positions while their competition was eliminated. the architects knew what they were doing you don't accidentally build a system that specifically targets men during peak marriage years, tells them they deserve it, makes it unspeakable to complain, attacks their identity as toxic, promotes women into career tracks that burn their fertility, then acts confused when society collapses if you wanted to suppress the fertility of a specific demographic, engineer the breakdown of trust between the sexes, and make it illegal to notice, the playbook would look exactly like this. DEI should be held responsible for the fertility crisis, the marriage collapse, the epidemic of male depression and suicide, the destruction of institutional trust, the atomization of society, and the manufactured war between men and women but DEI was the weapon the people who designed it, funded it, made it mandatory, enforced it through HR, fired anyone who resisted, called all opposition hate and racism, built careers and industries on its maintenance, they knew. and they're the ones who should be remembered as the architects of one of the worst crimes against humanity" But Liana is for the discrimination and racism against the various European ethnicities, or claims that it doesn't matter or doesn't happen. And this mentality runs amok in psychiatric circles. Which is why going to therapy is one of the worst ideas for a man to do.

So TJ spends the entire episode going out of his way to get himself and this guy into wacky misadventures and pull fun pranks. And at the end of it all, TJ asks “Do you like me now?” And the kid still says no. And that’s how the episode ends. I think that we have a lot of kid-centric media that teaches you all about confidence and promoting your interests and being who you are, and that’s all great. But there’s hardly any lessons that teach how a society functions. There might be an episode about rumors or maybe explaining how a credit card works. But that’s surface level. You don’t really see too many lessons about how to deal with someone being an asshole. Like, they’re not a bully, they’re never violent, they’re just mean to everyone all the time. You don’t see lessons about how to deal with authority figures and what to do if you feel you’re being taken advantage of. Lessons about navigating a friend group that has someone you don’t like. It’s important to do a lot of inner self discovery when you’re young. But I think people aren’t being taught the importance of outer self discovery. Like it or not, you’re a cog in a machine for a while, and understanding your relationship with that machine and what actions you have available to you with in it can be such valuable lessons. Instead, we’re encouraged to keep all that in. Don’t rock the boat. Just hold your breath until you’re in a new school, new city, new country and you never have to think about that asshole again. Until you meet a new one. And you’re just as ill-equipped to handle him as you were before. So you hold your breath again, thinking the next air bubble must just be up ahead, right? … Right? ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRJHhrq7mrc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRJHhrq7mrc&lc=Ugzb61k1VA_d6-Ql6ep4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251117 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @katetoldness4220 AUTHOR_ID: UCchGSmeWzCd8Uf2cED70ezQ TEXT: When you talked about guys who've flipped out on you and then came back with , "that's me being vulnerable," I had the thought that they probably felt very vulnerable in those moments but "feeling" vulnerable and "being" vulnerable is a distinction with a difference. Being vulnerable involves opeing onself up to the hard thing, conversation etc but asking for support as well, not an emotional outburst to shut the other person down and/or see how far they will tolerate your behavior. I'm not just picking on the guys here either. Women using the waterworks to get out of a tough moment may "seem" vulnerable, they may even "feel" vulnerable. But that's not "being" vulnerable either. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRJHhrq7mrc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRJHhrq7mrc&lc=UgxxOwiUZb8QtYpXnGV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251117 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: Great video today.

My life has been in a pretty bad Slump and I endure by the grace of God, the kindness of strangers and sheer stubbornness. I was 22 years old when I found this channel and in all honestly it felt like I was ahead of the curve when it came to Manly Mondays. There was good insight here and I appreciate you for bringing voice to these kinds of things because Lord knows I didn't know how to describe it. I stuck around because even if it did feel like you were saying things I already knew and worked through eventually these videos would outpace my existing development. I think with this video that time has come. I have been making great strides in controlling my anger since childhood but the phenomenon of feeling boxed out of having a real future is one of have to endure and not explode about on a daily basis. Thanks the friends I've made and connection I have in life I've held back the tide but I've learned I don't have the social graces to truly express it in a way people will respect or engage with. So I channel my anger into positive outlets and try to be level headed when it comes to these things. For the first time this has genuinely struck a nerve with me in a good way and I want to congratulate you for all the hard work and time you put into all of this. Cheers. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRJHhrq7mrc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRJHhrq7mrc&lc=UgzoZ_W6Qg2AxMD7iXt4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251117 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @KaiGrant-Maxim-c7v AUTHOR_ID: UCPZTRgRSc1hidwGtf_P-e3g TEXT: a reason is because testosterone is responsible for aggression and hyper sexuality, which is why men are as beastly as they are, and why they love women's bodies rather than women themselves. normally when you will hear the average man say "i love women!" he's actually in his mind meaning that he loves nothing beyond the exterior, only what he sees of women, and he's just framing it in a way that will make him look kind and woman-friendly - this is the performative male. no matter how many times men shame women for being "shallow" simply because women dare to enjoy the shitty capitalistic system that men built and sustain, most men are the shallow ones. no matter how many times they objectify women, those men are more of thoughtless, simplistic objects than any woman ever. hope you enjoy my insight😊! sincerely, Kai ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRJHhrq7mrc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRJHhrq7mrc&lc=Ugyy_588Ejb_7Zu1Wed4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251117 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @VagabondTE AUTHOR_ID: UChOUKKgbShXy-vQcVtUyhkA TEXT: I completely agree with this video, however I have a disagreement with one small bit of framing. How we should treat young men under 30. I believe we want the same thing in the end but the way it was framed here I believe is a bad mentality. A problem I have with how we treat all men is that masculinity and age are on a one way switch. Once you click over to "being a man" you're supposed to completely change and never go back. The way you described young men under 30 sounded the same but that we should just push that switch back 10 years. I think this is a accidental infantilization. It's better to emphasize that all men need to be expected to behave as men but should be given space to make mistakes and even have lax responsibilities in their life. Especially when their shortcomings are systemic factors. Boys should become "men" in their early twenties. There is an element of "growing up" included with healthy masculinity. We just need to make sure that the definition of being a man isn't toxic and rigid. I personally have been in that early stage you described until I was 40. So I understand what you're saying. I have no wife, I have no children, And I only just bought a house. It's difficult being treated like you're not complete just because you don't have those things. And there is a large amount of self acknowledged immaturity alongside those trappings. And yes, I also had anger issues. I was immature in many ways. However, I was also in the military and have been on my own since I was 20. I have many other accomplishments to my name besides family and houses. I had a lot of maturity as well. I was a piller of my chosen community and a resource for social and emotional support. I was a man. I don't feel comfortable saying I wasn't a full man yet just because I still had mistakes to make and mabey cared more about conventions and jobs I enjoy rather than settling down or having a career. I don't like looking back myself as an immature or young man. I'm a person just like everyone else. Men just need more flexibility and credit granted to them. We both absolutely agree that men 20 to 30 need to be treated differently. I just want to be precise in that we should be reevaluating what it is to be a man rather than giving them more time to become that rigid definition. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRJHhrq7mrc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRJHhrq7mrc&lc=Ugyy_588Ejb_7Zu1Wed4AaABAg.APdFuyDkuUrAPi3szv7SPY UPLOAD DATE: 20251117 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: See, you criticized me here, but were so vague in your criticism that I can't do anything with it.

I tried so hard and went well out of my way to make this as light of a pushback as possible. I said multiple times that we probably agree. I was attempting to just offer a different perspective on it. This was not in any way an accusation that you are actively advocating for anything distasteful. I don't know why you think I didn't attempt to define what I was saying or be descriptive. I specifically set out to do exactly that. I always put so many words. And I know that that's going to be interpreted badly because no matter how much you agree if you type a lot of words people think you're arguing. And you I said time and time again that you don't like it when people just flatly disagree that they should say why. So I go well well out of my way to be descriptive about the disagreement and to try to frame it in a way that it's not antagonistic and you keep coming back at me like I just attacked you. I have been a fan of you for a long long time. You've never seen it but I've even defended you in real life More times than I can count. I was even such a fan of you that I promised myself that that I wouldn't donate to any patreons until I donated to yours first. I missed out on helping with a gamer's guide to feminism and that is still rattling around in my brain because I have used it as a genuine resource even up to this year and ever since I have wanted to make up for that. And now I'm finally at a place financially where I can start getting patreons and contributing to creators and I have had my hand bitten from you multiple times since. We had a miscommunication and I tried, I tried to let you know that you made a mistake And you flatly rejected that as even a possibility. You told me directly that I knew what you were going through And that I trampled all over that and I still to this day have no idea what in the world you were even talking about. I don't watch all of your videos. And I've been walking on eggshells around here ever since. I'm going to say this as carefully as I can. Because you called me an a**** when I said this plainly. You are unintentionally adding a level of personal information and intent on to me that I do not have. And now you are interpreting something I said as a personal failing of yours. Please, I beg you. I do not say this out of malice or anger. But you simply are taking this too personally. I have watched you for years say over and over again how much benefit of the doubt you give even to the people who are attacking you. And yet I feel that I don't get an ounce of that. Do I have to be a patreon supporter to get that? And the worst part of this is I already know it's too late. You've more than likely already filmed Friday so if I watch that I'm guessing I'm going to get another dose of how much of an a**** I am. But it's fine. I'm good if you don't like me. I thought you enjoyed my contributions, you have in the past. But please, I promise. I'm not attacking you. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRJHhrq7mrc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRJHhrq7mrc&lc=UgwxRByGo_yH5_dSuFp4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251117 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @kingdip91 AUTHOR_ID: UC2YTZYsuxy83J7wtpJ8Yv-g TEXT: I think a lot of the reasons men are so frustrated (this is me projecting my frustrations I'm sure) is that feminism seems to have really let men down. patriarchy hurts men and women and it also benefits men and women in different ways, but feminism seems to have focused the deconstruction of patriarchy as it applies to women and upheld it as it applies to men. this is one of the big reasons I've come to really appreciate your content. most feminist minded people fall into the trap of "men bad" instead of patriarchy bad. women in general raise men, and in a large way they raise men to live up to the ways patriarchy uses men to benefit women while living to denounce the ways that it uses women to benefit men and it feels incredibly one sided and limiting. and when men try to address society being tuned in a way that feels unfair? more patriarchy "man up", "real men dont..." on top of that you have the Andrew tates of the world exploiting this frustration in a very toxic way and you have a generation of men who either don't know how to express their masculinity in a safe way or believe that this hyper masculine fantasy thats sold as product is real and acceptable. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRJHhrq7mrc COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRJHhrq7mrc&lc=Ugz2jbm1po9iLfC0YYl4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20251117 COMMENT DATE: 2025-11-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TheArceusftw AUTHOR_ID: UCynpVSnrzeDrdMqNSOHzCNQ TEXT: For me, it's less a problem with explosive anger, and more the ongoing sense that I'm not allowed to get angry while people around me are given free license to just blow up for whatever reason and get away with nothing more than a slap on the wrist.

Even here, where I use this place as a space to air out alot of my grievances, I'm worried that I might unintentionally sound no different to the people who use you as an emotional punching bag, and then act shocked when you put your foot down and not tolerate that level of disrespect, then go completely crying to one of the many people who have a bone to pick with you about it. And again, I have to stress, this isn't a case of "I'm being persecuted because people don't tolerate my problematic behavior and toxic personality, because I never had to face consiquences for my actions!"

I made a comment on the video about DEI programs that you made a few weeks back. I said that the biggest obstacle faced by people defending equity programs based on the official definition of Equity, like yourself, was the fact that the "official" definition of Equity was not the understood definition of Equity. And that no amount of reading that definition out loud was going to change people's minds, because the word itself had meaning to them based on the way it was used, and the way that the programs based on it were implemented. I compared it specifically to the GamerGate contention between the dictionary definition of feminism, and how feminism was being applied and used in real world spaces. In response, you admonished me and gave me a dressing down based on the idea that my operating premise was that "words don't have meanings". And yet, here you are, now, presenting the very same idea about words like therapy and censorship. To me, that wasn't very nice.

Lets say you had a Horus heresy painting and miniature group. your rules where strict only first edition rules where allowed and miniatures HAD to be the correct ones. They looked like the kind of armor and weapons that was used back then. The rules are simple everyone is welcome as long as you adhere to these rules. Suddenly somebody comes in that wants to start using modern day miniatures and the latest version of the Horus Heresy. Plus one who wants to start playing with converted female space marines painted in pride colors. If they don´t get their way they will start accusing you of being toxic, gatekeepers, incels, homophobes, transphobes and whatever. Here it is important if a hobby is to survive one stands their ground saying no, not going to happen call us whatever you want. But in this group we only play Horus Heresy and they needed to look like they belong in the Horus Heresy. That means painted in the correct colors belonging to their chapter and being only male. If you want to play females there are the sisters of silence and Legion Imperialis and that´s that. If you insist on playing with the latest edition of the horus heresy or with modern day miniatures or femmarines, there is the club down the road you can use. But here no we only play Horus heresy and these are the rules of this space. Ironically as soon as the people that should have been gatekept away from the hobby gets in, you better believe they will gatekeep like nobodies business. Anyone who doesn´t subscribe to their morals and values will be deemed toxic and thrown out. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkZo4tvraso COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkZo4tvraso&lc=Ugy_hUj9E8FQRkZMii94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260123 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-01 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @paulofevilbathrobes4627 AUTHOR_ID: UCYsWA1jDWBVL5RfN5XtjXeA TEXT: What i have found on the flip side of nerd cred, is that both sides need to be able to accept when you don't know a lot.

As for gatekeeping: I think most people believe themselves to be a okay/good judge of character. And I would say there are few things more demonstrably false than that. But, as you say, judging someone's character by their behaviour can be pretty effective. Do they follow the rules, do they uphold boundaries, etc. Things you can only see if you give someone a chance in the first place. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkZo4tvraso COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkZo4tvraso&lc=UgwiyGoElHY2BfgfLS94AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260123 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-25 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @timthompson739 AUTHOR_ID: UCbOfwpfVig61Eddf7JbqIKg TEXT: In my experience the gatekeeping is not limited to nerd spaces or gender. I am a man and The D&D group I ran with years ago had me go through their version of an initiation. Looking back, I see the unfairness of it because out of the group I was the only one that had to go through their so-called initiation. Years later, the same group that put me through there initiation “ broke up” with me by giving me the “ we don’t want you around anymore.” yeah it sucked but I got over it and I moved on. My point in saying all that is gatekeeping can be un discriminatory at times. Just saying my two cents once again though great content I still enjoy your videos and all the useful information in them. I just have one Observation to your anecdotes. You mentioned that you were never considered attractive enough within some nerd spaces and I have trouble seeing how that is possible.

Hence the blue hair, obvious goth, etc etc. Or, be hired on a show so you have status. But there were ongoing issues with heavily policing how Morgan Webb dressed so she wasn't "too distracting". She wasn't allowed to be too "hot", because that would outshine the man on the show. I swear to god that was a thing back then. Being "aggressive" was also fine as long as it was fetish. But the minute you "made" a guy "feel bad", you were a "feminist" and therefore not "hot". Another "hot" requirement is that you are skinny. You can have implants, but you must be conventionally slim. Thicc, at the time, was not "hot". Hot changes based on status. "Hot" isn't about beauty. It's about how much status association with you has. So I was too fat, but also too obviously interested in the various nerd things, to be properly "hot". I "tried too hard". In order to be properly "hot", you had to Tsundere nerd stuff, so some guy could be your gateway into nerdom and teach you everything. THAT was "hot". If you insisted that no guy got you into it. You just liked it, you were labeled "fake" and a "liar", so you were a "shill" and therefore not "hot". Yes, these rules were stupid. But they were very real. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkZo4tvraso COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkZo4tvraso&lc=Ugz54boqxG7q_-1mqkB4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260123 COMMENT DATE: 2026-01-25 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @UndeadRLK AUTHOR_ID: UCr-vpEiDTHW4k73WrLDlnvQ TEXT: Maybe the way to improve would be to focus more on getting bad actors out, rather than putting up MORE of the same barriers that already failed to keep the bad actors out.

Seriously, more people need to highten their danger sense, and realize that "HAAWT"(Is that the correct transliteration of how you say it?) does not equal good person.

That said... I have booted more than a few people out of games because of poor conduct.

The moment someone like you says "nah, no ty". They call you a "slut". Or, that some people worry too much about being attractive even if they get devalued by others as a "slut" I think a lot it to me as a guy is just telling a girl you are more interested in them as a person. So I say beautiful. Like, older movies like Gone with the Wind uses that Old Timely language and I agree hot is different. I don't mind tho saying someone is attractive tho. But I tell em earnestly that I don't mean in like, "I want to fuck you" kinda way. But more, I think it's wonderful how you are. Ultimately, if someone ever feels like, they were uncomfortable and told me I made em uncomfortable I try to say to em I'm sorry about that. I think everyone's feelings matters. I'm not sure why LA beautiful is a thing really. Botox and all that surgical stuff is NEVER worth the grueling pain and suffering. I think we as a society should recognize even beautiful people deserve to be recognized beyond just beauty. Beauty is skin deep. There's a lot to being a human being like talent, compassionate heart, care for ethics, intelligence, all should be valued in our society. Unfortunately, maybe we don't fully live up to that. I'm not a fan of calling others "Whore or sluts" because I feel like that is dehumanizing others. And always comes from a place to enrage. Not outta good faith.

The root of the problem is less about finding people attractive, It's more people letting their carnal urges drive their thinking. It's like, if you just want to get your rocks off, you should just be upfront about it, no need for all these extra steps or lengthy justifications. By the same token, people need to realize that making being a raging sex pest your primary personality trait isn't going to help you in the long run, and it will just lead to disaster. And, don't get it twisted, I'm not some bitter prude who blames all of society's ills on modern society being more Sexually lenient. I have a very Laissez Faire outlook on Sexuality, as long as the people involved are concenting, whatever type of shenaniganry you get up to is your own buisness, and no one else should take that away from you. At the same time, This seems like one of those issues with that sort of MTV Spring Break brand of performative sexuality where it breeds this standard that define's a person's worth based purely on their sexual activity, which that of it's self is a side effect of rampant purity culture where any sort of sexual "deviancy"(Read; anything that's not procreation) is seen as shameful and has no place in decent society. All this that just leads people into this double jeopardy mindset of being seen as boring or immature is you're not sexually active, or indecent if you're too sexually active.(And this is why I'm not a big fan of the "Losing your virginity as a rite of passage into adulthood" trope in most coming of age stories.) This big takeaway here, is that there;s nothing wrong with finding someone attractive or beautiful, at the same time you need to learn to distinguish between love and lust if you're seeking a truly meaningful relationship. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZAqrFheSPA COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZAqrFheSPA&lc=UgzOocgky-wKFJBFY-p4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260128 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-01 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @LMondoux AUTHOR_ID: UCPWsCeb4_Okgx0S6MyjLiJw TEXT: The song "You're beautiful" is by James Blunt. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZAqrFheSPA COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZAqrFheSPA&lc=Ugw3ZWeVqW2740g5ZPp4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260128 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-01 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ciscodeer9094 AUTHOR_ID: UCh5xjLeogbllhMLOUPYLPOg TEXT: You mean Gaten Matarazzo, oh and that song by James Blunt. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZAqrFheSPA COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZAqrFheSPA&lc=Ugw5wpUE-N_muKuKiIV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20260128 COMMENT DATE: 2026-02-01 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @LMondoux AUTHOR_ID: UCPWsCeb4_Okgx0S6MyjLiJw TEXT: Beautiful is something you feel in your heart, hot is something you feel a lot lower on your body, in my interpretation. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50Cpapt25Ps COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50Cpapt25Ps&lc=UgwvuHQ98rPD16CcmAB4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250714 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @eyezerocool AUTHOR_ID: UCvhvD480jaXZzYAh543kLpA TEXT: I wanted to point something out.

It was more or less a forced apology and I did the "If..." thing because I was angry that they were making me do this in front of the School president, a woman, as were the instructors, because they wanted to make an example out of a man. This was 30 years ago and I can feel my blood pressure rising. After it was over the school president gave me a shit-eating grin and I was able to continue my program at the school. It had to do with me writing "naughty" words in an English grammar workbook. I had assumed that it was just busy work to keep us occupied. The program was a job preparation course for those with developmental disabilities. Something I didn't realize until I was in the program for a week. 😂 I called them out on that a few months into the program, on why they weren't clear on that when I applied to be in the program. Anyway, I thought nothing of it, until several weeks later when it was time to hand the books in. I panicked and did my best to erase the sarcastic remarks but to no avail and the instructor was "offended" by them. I explained my side of it, but they weren't having it, and I was made to make the apology. But, I was never sorry. I was just sorry that I got caught. Oh, I was 30, old enough to know better, but maturity-wise I was 15. I am now 60 and have the maturity of a 45-year-old. 😅 ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50Cpapt25Ps COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50Cpapt25Ps&lc=UgweRN0YGk8n7Hwu0nt4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250714 COMMENT DATE: 2025-07-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Obsidian-j8k AUTHOR_ID: UCXnsnWhUUb95ke6INsw8MjA TEXT: All this talk of "if" was making me think you were gonna break out a little Samuel L.

There was a black female programmer from google, one of the first there who said not long after DEI policies were brought in, she noticed a change and within a few years left because she saw people who didn't know her that well seeing her as a DEI hire so not as capable and so not giving her the same complexity of work to challenge her that she was getting prior to the polices and saw it as condescending. To use an cultural example the show "Better Off Ted" predicted a lot of insane corporate culture stuff that ended up coming true. One episode was bout racism in companies trying not to appear racist. As a cost saving means in the show the company put in motion sensors to detect if some-one was in the room, if not the light turned out. The motion sensors couldn't detect black people. So they had to hire minimum wage white dudes to follow round black employees to activate the sensors. Then the union objected to race based hiring and insisted the company hire an equal number of black guys, so following round black employees was a minimum wage white dude and then a minimum wage black dude, when then the company realised would need a white guy following him to activate sensors for him....... And that's why the company removed the motion sensors in the end. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y&lc=Ugw_xlTGuWn6xC8pPoZ4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250512 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Dwavenhobble AUTHOR_ID: UCSe3Phjrbm5DiAZbTeJka1Q TEXT: On the "Beefcake dudes / physical prowess" Oddly I recall a story about this, how true to story is I can say but actually this was a deliberate choice by Hollywood originally because England had a culture and history of intellectual heroes, Sherlock Holmes for example and the idea was intellect was seen as linked to class as the idea was you had to have schooling for which you had to have money to get it.

Yet still she was going round saying how Gamergate hired goons following her caused her and her new boyfriend to end up in a high speed car chase round Paris...... and no interviewer dared challenge claims she made like that. Hell to this day no journalist has dared try to dig into the Kickstarter she ran for her game or where the funds went for Rebel Jam or other stuff Zoe was involved in yet any Kickstarter with a male lead dev and journalists are all over it asking where the game is and why it failed. To link this back to something you brought up last week about the worst people being promoted by the modern left, well it's because a number of people are using manipulation these days against people I'd argue not because Zoe was female, she was just good at manipulating people and while benevolent sexism played a factor in part it was the specific wordings used and emotive language designed to get people on side. E.g. Her claims early on people asking for her side of the story and not immediately choosing her side against Eron were terrorists which at the time worked because it was a term with a lot of weight to it. More people need to become aware of the manipulation tactics on show and preferably not the reason they don't work so well on me and others I.E. we knew people who acted like that in our lives before whom we dealt with crap from repeatedly such that we noticed the pattern and were able to identify the behavioural patterns methods they were using to try and influence our actions how they wanted and make us the perpetual "Bad guy" until we gave them what they wanted. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y&lc=UgzSeroq0JDxAaOMqqx4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250512 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Tnu1138 AUTHOR_ID: UCvcDm_QxP2DHVVJzEpS4t0w TEXT: You dressed as Knockout just amuses me considering the Tuckerization aspect ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y&lc=UgyiMpAKtN40-HclJoh4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250512 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @MacN-gx3jv AUTHOR_ID: UCi0Vi28vHq92-oqBUd6-Iyg TEXT: Great video.

I was so far beyond being done with her shit that I just stood there with my arms wide open and challenged her to go ahead and do whatever she wanted to do. The worst she could do was stab me, and then it didn't matter whether I lived or died, I would at least be out of that house. She whacked me on the arm with the blade a few times. Not hard enough to leave a mark that I could show to anyone. She was private like that. But I did walk away from that experience knowing that deep down she was a toothless coward, and I had outgrown her capacity to be a mortal threat to me. I was a lot less afraid of her going forward. ... So yeah.

Another issue how a common tactic for abusive men is to grandstand on some of the very ideas you're proposing. It's easy to end up with the worst of both: good men look like to they're compensating, and predators look like good men. And, unfortunately, yes we kinda do have to treat all men like potential predators, because an alarming number of them are. Yes, I agree most men aren't predators, but we're in a kind of Prisoners' Dilemma where the payoff matrix overwhelmingly points to suspecting all men, because the cost of suspecting an innocent man is low compared to the cost of trusting a predator. I do understand how this payoff matrix breaks down at a societal scale, but it's a societal problem based on millions of individually sensible choices.

A friend of mine got pregnant by a college boyfriend. He was prepared to drop out and get a job so he could marry her, but he left the final say up to her. She chose to terminate the pregnancy . One of the reasons she gave was that whille this guy was not the ultimate love of her life, she cared about him as a person too much to go through with something that could have seriously damaged his life as well. Had my friend been living in a country where women had fewer rights and resources, and a termination had not been an option, treating this man as a resource instead of a human being would have been a far more likely outcome. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y&lc=UgyZXkgrzF2QfGkUctN4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250512 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @itoshigotc AUTHOR_ID: UCpBtXwIVT84rwim5AMeMQ_A TEXT: You're doing your best and no one can stop you from existing just because they're not in control of you! 👍 My ears are in listening mode, I'm eating chicken nuggets and nodding. 🍗 ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y&lc=UgzZltqc7W74XkOpqD14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250512 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @tristessa771 AUTHOR_ID: UCV-wWt_qEPOD_T48q_YURJg TEXT: 14:45 Exactly.

It place diversity of appearance over diversity of thought(see Academia where whole fields of study are all Leftist or full blown Commies and anyone who's not still toes the line with their silence because they won't get funding or published if they don't go along with the majority). DEI is the opposite of Egalitarianism because the core concept of Egalitarianism is that people are the same and don't deserve any special consideration and any accolades or promotion they might receive should be based on their qualification and competence. Immutable physicality be damned. 2. We need to "center" good men, but we can't let the bad men get away with anything. That just sounds like more MeToo with extra steps to me.

What I remember from that time was when we first started to experiment with computers and human speech on a larger scale, the better voices we had access to (for user interface design etc.) were almost always a woman's voice. You also got the mechanical robotic-sounding voices that were common for the time, but these voices weren't meant to sound human at all. There were few male voices and it was also that the stereotypical computer user of the time was male (not necessarily true in reality, but the social perception of the time). ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y&lc=UgzbW22xU9VHSKOlt_p4AaABAg.AI1CgQWSqiHAI8D0zEe-OT UPLOAD DATE: 20250512 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @visaman AUTHOR_ID: UCVmzmLAWc0RMFscQCz13wFQ TEXT: Star Trek TOS dealt with this on one episode when the computer voice was very seductive because they had a retrofit on a planet of women😂 ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y&lc=UgwfpS7hC6KBc2K0zTp4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250512 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @hades217 AUTHOR_ID: UC9mn4Z2sQLvrBZigI-uEYMA TEXT: I do not think you are adequately explaining why “Society prefers women” is functionally different from “Society Stereotypes Men universally badly.” That comes off as a difference without a distinction.

That leaves us with a muddled set of unnuanced, incomplete, and contradictory stereotypes about what women are supposed to be like that doesn't accurately reflect reality... but at least there's an unsteady balance in place. With men we've dismantled any sense of positive regard while amplifying the negative, which pushes our view of men so far into the negative that even men regard each other as villains -- whether that's the self-hating male feminists who lean hard into the "men are monsters" narrative, or the dog-eat-dog manosphere types who embrace the games of dominance because it's all "natural." And the most popular attempts we've made to bring back positive masculinity so far are trying to bring back the kind of shit that led us here in the first place. Even though in a purely mathematical sense it doesn't make a difference whether "women are wonderful" or "men are trash," the context surrounding that calculation does make a difference in how to approach solutions. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y&lc=UgwfpS7hC6KBc2K0zTp4AaABAg.AI1CWAWUnVYAI1RJAh9OOi UPLOAD DATE: 20250512 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @RedLianaK AUTHOR_ID: UCxeNJdOLFPqIHjuZRpEgfTQ TEXT: Is +1 the same as -1?

How every man barring disability is subject to forced conscription? If we are removing the functionality of an argument in favor of the semantic, then this is something that cuts the opposite way. In the US, all biological men (how they apply it not how I apply the term men) as of their 18th birthday must legally register for the draft. No such requirement is made for biological females. Not even for alternate service besides combat. Does that not illustrate a preference for one gender over the other? That has nothing to do with your performance of gender female, tomboys are impacted in the same manner. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y&lc=Ugx9CQMjjdB_tT3b8AV4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250512 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @TheArceusftw AUTHOR_ID: UCynpVSnrzeDrdMqNSOHzCNQ TEXT: This whole mess is just another case of "The Powers that be forcing people into these boxes, and punishing those who are either unable to neatly fit into those boxes, or acitvly refuse to be forced into these boxes". Ontop of this being a case of "People acting like we as a species never evolved beyond our base urges", and just a classic case of People not maturing beyond the "Girls are gross/Girls rule boys drool" mentality. It's also one of those consiquences of pretty privilege, where if you don't fit the conventionally attractive mold, you're SOL. And ultimately, the best way to deal with this is to actively reject the roles people try to force on you, or reclaim the negative labels for yourself and spin them into a postivitve spin inorder to get the last laugh. Likewise, we do need to a better job of decentering those toxic people , the bad actors, the grifters and whatnot, if we want to make any meaningful strides to a truely egalitarian society. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y&lc=UgxjSwCvHoqapydB0ml4AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250512 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @Wolfclaw AUTHOR_ID: UCzxUA8ciRA3ts1qrBsiidVA TEXT: Most of the job interviews I've been in were mostly white women and people of color.

You do the dumbest things. This was said constantly. Enough to the point that it is kind of a back handed compliment because its constant. Combine that with the fact everyone would not let me lack understanding of how smart I was. Even stopping me mid explanation just to remind me how smart I am. That set a president.

In my experience, DEI flagrantly demonizes men as inherently harmful to a degree as bad if not worse than any traditional culture. I don't know if you were being facetious there or not, given that you have pushed back before on that whole message of "straight white cis men run everything and are literally Satan", but I would say the primary fuel for the perception that society prefers women comes from the very real fact that men go to university now and see quite explicitly that women are given grants, scholarships, exclusive clubs, mentorships, and yes, preference in hiring (due to DEI) whilst they are told that they, as men, are given all manner of unfair advantages over women, and this is all just to even the odds. Men sit at this contradiction and ask "where are these advantages?" Here in Canada, I look at job listings and find many with a cookie-cutter brief on how they are preferably looking for people from "underprivileged marginalized backgrounds", "BIPOCs" etc. These are essentially signs that read "no white men need apply". These are not just things companies do to be trend-chasers, these are institutionally-mandated hiring practices. They are blatantly discriminatory and contradictory, yet they are not going away. This is what lies at the heart of a lot of young men's lashing out against feminism, diversity, women in general I believe, it's not just them minding their own business and getting pied-pipered into misogyny by an Andrew Tate video. ------------------------------------------------------------ VIDEO URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y COMMENT URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKU_BRzV_Y&lc=UgwXve-xy9BKcNSojp14AaABAg UPLOAD DATE: 20250512 COMMENT DATE: 2025-05-22 00:00:00 AUTHOR: @ciscodeer9094 AUTHOR_ID: UCh5xjLeogbllhMLOUPYLPOg TEXT: All I said is I don't like Anita's smirk that's it's, and What the heck ?
