somekindofguy posted:I can't find good content to post at the moment, so can anyone recommend any good Reality TV podcasts or recap series? I'm kind of stunned the genre really hasn't been touched upon a lot by "angry review" types, given the wealth of terrible content. I think the kind of folks most likely to be into the angry reviewer thing are also the kind of folks who consider reality TV beneath them. Also, reality TV tends to be kind of bland and samey, so not great for a regular series. The only examples I can think of are Jenny Nicholson's Opposite Worlds video, Ralph Sepe's Mystery Diners and ghost shows videos, and ChaosD1's Paranormal State video.

I did a video reminiscing and playing The Sims 1. Unlike my previous La-Mulana and Dial-Up videos this one was more stream of consciousness and thus took less time to make because it was so loose. I even get into my style of play where I make 8 adult Sims and stick them in a cheap house together before the money starts rolling in.

Any talk of how some people care about media too much, laughing at their stupidity and all that just feels hollow in the light of all this. It's incredibly depressing.

he sucked and it's why i made my twitter handle mocking him (he blocked me pretty much right away because he was extremely thin skinned) but it is a little weird to gloat over someone dying who wasn't a legit evil politician or something.

Hmm with lines like this maybe you should feel more sympathetic to the people bringing up TBs lovely behaviour. Since he and his fans made their lives horrible. While I haven't been personally harassed by him/his fans, they maybe games a lot more inaccessible to me since they poisoned the discussion about high framerates in games, a tool which is very important for me to deal with my flicker/flash sensitivity, So now whenever I bring it up to devs etc. I have be careful and preface any communication with a disclaimer that I'm not one of those assholes.

If you didn't like the guy fair enough. He was a mixed bag and if you can't look past his shortcomings, whatever, no ones asking you to suddenly like who he was. But some of the posts I read here and on twitter are disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself if you partook in any of it. He was a games critic, not some evil dictator.

Also, reality TV tends to be kind of bland and samey, so not great for a regular series. I've been working on a video about My Super Sweet Sixteen with the idea of doing this and yeah, that's pretty much the case for the non-competition shows. And considering how it's no secret that every reality show uses manipulative editing in some form and "stars" actual people and not made-up characters, going full angry reviewer on these things just makes you look like a gullible idiot, in my opinion. This is especially the case with Sixteen where that is so clearly the mood they want the audience to be in. (Unless they're focusing on a celebrity or someone MTV was trying to promote's party. Those are much more flattering than the episodes focused on rando rich kids no one's heard of.) This is made worse by the fact that MTV's editors were hilariously bad at making some of their edits look organic at times. (Frankenbiting doesn't work when the two clips are of radically different sound quality, guys.) Out of the 40 some episodes I've been able to track down and watch so far, only one got past that filter in my head and made me want to guillotine a bitch. (A girl whose dad is the reverend of a megachurch franchise in Cleveland. Buddy, I've seen the Last Week Tonight segment. I know where the money for those 40-some Chanel handbags, the private jet, and that yacht came from.) I'm also finding out that it's kind of a pain in the rear end to find usable footage of old reality shows, even the older seasons of some long running series. The networks seem to memory hole them the second they stop making money. VH1's done hundreds of the things over the years and only about 5 of them are available on Hulu et al.

I love terrible reality TV, currently hooked to the Dutch version of Ex on the Beach. The whole party/gig industry around the D-tier celebs that come from them is quite interesting and I know way too much about it. I'd have plenty to say about it but my """knowledge""" is mostly focussed around the local versions I'm afraid.

If you think the right thing to do is mouth off on a guy who just died, that's on you. Most people would at least let a little time pass, so the people who are affected by the passing can grieve properly. But if you think now is the best time to let it all fly, you go nuts. Just don't expect people to think very highly of you when you do it. I never thought the request to respect the recently passed would be a difficult one, yet here we are.

Again, gently caress decorum. The man ruined lives, and pretending that he should be given any level of respect for that is sick.

You can disagree and all plenty but just maybe don't be shocked that not everyone agrees with a stance of 'well he made good review videos' should make 'he also was a huge rear end in a top hat to anyone not like him and often would get his fans to attack people he disliked for no reason' something that has to be sealed in a secret vault forever. Like yea no poo poo he's not Steve Scalise, who's getting his pecker and balls blown off was hilarious because he's an active white supremacist controlling American politics, but if the bar is that low what even is the point of having one. Things that own and are funny: -Scalise getting his balls blown off and still being such an NRA slave he said 'actually guns are great' like as soon as he got out of the hospital. -John McCain's brain being scooped out with an ice cream scoop -Reagan died making GBS threads his pants and thinking movie scripts were real Things that don't own but also aren't gonna be viewed as super sacred by a not-minor amount of people and maybe that's fine: -an rear end in a top hat who a fair amount of his career was built on attacking others is dead and being called a 'great thinker' and a 'legend' who taught people about ethics. There is a scale, but that doesn't mean it's an all or nothing scale. sexpig by night fucked around with this message at 18:06 on May 27, 2018 |

Yeah, the man was so anti-trans that Laura Kate Dale was a close associate/friend of his (and far from the only one), he blasted his audience when they gave her poo poo after she appeared on the Co-Optional, and he had someone thrown out of CoxCon for asking if traps were gay.

It is very unfortunate that people feel the need to lie and attack the mourners, but who knows what some of those revelers have been through. I'm sure a lot of it is schadenfreude l, but there may be a few who've had to deal with him or his more rabid fans. Unforunately as well, I think the point someone above brought up about decorum might have some weight as well. The Big Game Thing left a trail of chaos in its wake, and it may be years more before a recovery. Just know you're not the only one who thinks it's too soon (there's some people in the GBS thread with similar views on that). And if you've been reading Twitter/FB for extended periods, for the love of God remember to take a break. Sorry to bag on you when you've already been bagged on several times, but several of your posts sounded like you wanted to say something but didn't. I don't know how to describe that if it's not passive agressive, but clearly you were not happy with the discussion, as you said above. I'll try not to single you out in the future. Have a nice weekend.

Well...you can't make anyone use your pronouns, that's kinda true. Doesn't mean you aren't an rear end in a top hat for not using them. Look, I'm not saying the guy didn't have a very toxic fanbase - he certainly did. Almost any Youtube creator of that size does, and it's incredibly hard to manage such things (lord knows he had plenty of running battles with his fanbase over all sorts of poo poo). Nor am I saying that he wasn't argumentative and opinionated - like, that goes back to the days when he was a goon and beyond. I'm certainly not saying that you have to like the guy at all - he was in many ways quite unlikeable, and no-one but the most dedicated is going to say different. But what's been happening over the past couple of days, the examples that I've seen, is utterly trashy. What's the excuse for some of the behaviour there? We didn't like what this guy did in his life, so our response to that is...be worse?

I think a lot of the backlash is because of how drat near canonized he's being, with everyone saying what a noble kind soul he was who basically invented long form reviews and constantly fought for the underdog (consumer, in the majority demos). Like, I have no idea who's making fun of mourners beyond literal nobodies but considering everyone is doing some big tribute to him as a bastion of gamer rights I can imagine people who were more directly affected by his toxic elements feel like going 'gently caress that'.

Thanks for the recs by the way. It seems a little limited, but a lot of the points people brought up about why reviewing reality TV regularly wouldn't work make sense. Not to say there isn't now or hasn't been some real hot garbage out there that could be viable to work with.
