Maremidon posted:If this person had been critical of PewDiePie before for the rape jokes, I would have some respect for them. At least that would be sticking to some coherent value system. That was my issue with it as well. He supports PDP, who makes constant rape comments. The moment someone makes a comment on par with those, he flips his poo poo? By logic, if these are equally reprehensible then you either accept or reject both. That's basic math. Oh wait, idolization. Right. Changes everything.

TwoDayLife posted:Can we stop with the rapist accusations against folks who support pewdeepie? It's disingenuous at best, and potentially harmful at worst. Posted this (from Tumblr, not my writing) in a PYF thread, which is also weighing in on this drama, but here; while calling his fans rapists is disingenuous and stupid (though calling them rape apologists, at least for some cases, would not be inaccurate), it is not the people criticizing PewDiePie who are being harmful: quote:So, I reblogged that Retsupurae video showing people reacting to PewDiePie’s awful videos. I decided to check the comment section. Anyone happen to have the comments this is referring to, on that topic? Edit: That said, the fans who aren't telling people to kill themselves for not liking PewDiePie and otherwise being disgusting are hilariously stupid. There are fans of the guy harassing the person who made that post up there, for example, trying to justify the rape jokes with hilariously stupid arguments. quote:about pewie's response, you also need to realise that this is his job now, if he stops certain jokes because they offend others than it means those offended should boycott. its how you organize, if you don't like it, don't buy it. if everyone stopped watching than he doesn't make anymore money unless he changes his routine. simple as that, you could try that approach instead of going about these hate speeches Not liking PewDiePie is hate speech, everyone. We better stop it right now. Roland Jones fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Oct 16, 2012 |

This is my favorite argument. It's one of the shittiest you could possibly make, and yet it's always made. The scary thing is the age of pewdiepie's fans. Most of them are young teens, so I'm perfectly fine with any comments from them, since they're stupid young teens and they'll probably grow out of it in a few years. But then there's the 20-somethings who watch him.

I don't know about you, but I'm more worried about young teens. 20-somethings just have bad taste, but kids are still impressionable. I found out my girlfriend's little brother watches PewDiePie the other day, and that's got me worried that it's going to totally gently caress him up in the future. Rape aside, the guy is the worst possible role model for how to fit in society.

Rape aside, the guy is the worst possible role model for how to fit in society. Eh, when I was like 12 I thought rape was a silly crazy word and etc. Didn't take too long before I realized "holy gently caress what am I doing also this isn't even funny!", and cut that poo poo out. Maybe that's just hopeful thinking on my part that as they grow up they'll snap out of this poo poo and realize it's not even funny, but then again this whole thing is being done by some 19-20 year old idiot in the first place, so maybe I'm just too hopeful.

I'm just honestly afraid that 2.whatever the hell his sub count is at people actually find all this funny, to the point that they want to see when he updates next. Him doing the rape jokes would be less horrifying if he didn't have that many people eating it up and wanting more.

After seeing big "geeky" "progressive" sites like Reddit constantly defending any offensive material as "omg political correctness gone mad u feminists are ruining evrything" and "free speech let the child porn stay" I was beginning to think I was alone in a world incapable of empathy. It's actually a breath of fresh air to know that it's a majority opinion in places like this that the video was offensive.

 Revisiting a point from the "State of Let's Play" thread, but tumblr's a weird place and treating tags like some kind of trespass-able domain is just silly. Also apparently other "fandoms" are jumping on the bandwagon of spamming pewdiepie's tag and I find it funnier than I should (which isn't much, but still).

It's completely beyond my comprehension how anyone finds this complete and utter cock PewDiePie entertaining. Is there a whole community of rapist apologists out there that worship this prat? Some of the comments coming out of the people defending this twat make me sad for humanity.

Has the hubbub mostly died down? Because I think I'm comfortable with the technical stuff now, and I want all the feedback I can get on my content. FFXII IZJS Test Video I'm trying something a little different. My concept is a mostly video LP, but edited the way I would edit a screenshot LP to remove repetition and empty space. I'm splicing in widescreen cutscenes and subtitles from the US release, and I'm using my copy of the soundtrack over heavily edited sections to minimize interruptions in the background music, so there's a lot going on here that I can tweak. Please give me feedback about the concept, the flow, the subtitle timing, the layout, the transitions, the video quality, the audio, or anything else that stands out to you.

BrainWeasel posted:Has the hubbub mostly died down? Because I think I'm comfortable with the technical stuff now, and I want all the feedback I can get on my content. I think it might have one last day or two in it, unless something else weird happens. Anyway, I hate to pick apart high-effort test posts, but I had a problem maybe other people won't. During the Air Cutter Remora fight, I read your paragraph on the left and started watching the fight. I was focusing on the right, where the combat was and then I realized you'd written something else. By the time I finished reading it, I missed the Remora strike. The two-column approach is definitely unique, and you might have something there, but I have to take my eyes off the action to read, and even worse, when I'm watching the action, I'm missing when the text updates, because it's a subtle transition that's happening in the corner of my eye. I'm thinking traditional subtitles might be the way to go, honestly. Unless you have a better callout to text updates and really good timing in terms of not writing things while there's stuff onscreen that I want to watch.

The idea is really interesting, but it requires the viewer to divide their attention between the game and the commentary in such a way that it's very likely they'll miss something. That said, the quality is nice and the idea is really neat.
