ACES CURE PLANES posted:It's weird to see all the weirdos come out in defense of the hate speech spewing internet man and the 'boycott Intel for promoting workplace diversity' lady. I am pretty sure the quote in question there was talking about something on tumblr, where people called themselves otherkin? People who identify as part dragon or whatever. I remember it being a big topic at the time, because someone pulled one of their comments off tumblr where they threatened someone for not using their pronouns. Take that as you will, it was definitely not an attack on transgender people. It was an example of him using mobs to attack an entire group over what one crazy person said however. He had a reallyyyyyyyyy bad habit of that, a lot of popular youtubers do. It’s really, really dumb.

Puppy Time posted:I started following TSV after Reignbot covered it I remembered her being mentioned in Nick's Daisy Brown video, so I went to give it a look at for a comparison and I sorta get why but I didn't really like that she just read out the tweets in chronological order and.... that's it, really (discounting the mini-Q&A afterwards). It's a good way to get people interested and caught up without skimming slower parts or needing to sit down afterwards to read it yourself, at least. So, I watched a few more and I think they were way better than the TSV one in both the way the content is displayed and, like, actual analysis and thought.

Ash Crimson posted:Death isn't a shield that stops or protects against all criticism, nor should it be, s.ame with his memory. Criticism =/= "Hey I was just reminded that TotalBiscuit's dead and I had a good laugh about it" (actual tweet) That's not criticism, that's being a sociopath. That may not be something said here, but it's not like we're far off and poo poo like this is all over Twitter from folks who, allegedly, are supposed to be the empathic ones. And the justification for it is...what, exactly? Some loving joke tweet about identifying as a toaster? Apparently being a leader for a movement that he wanted nothing to do with a couple of months after he started? "Posting people's streams" (the only thing I can remember on this front was him posting a charity stream and attempting to support it and the people who were running it for whatever reason being like "REEEE SHUT IT DOWN")? And hey, you've even got Aces Cure Planes justifying going at Genna because she was "against promoting workplace diversity"...or rather, she didn't agree with them getting consultation from Anita Sarkeesian. Which is, um, not the same thing. There are obviously ways of criticising TotalBiscuit but most of the discourse around it is poisonous to a frankly shocking degree. Somewhere the dictum that "when people aim low, we should aim high" was lost completely. And no, ways of criticising don't include "well people who called out other people's horrrible comments are actually worse, don't you know" or "Should Genna try to defend her late husband's legacy to those who'd dance on his grave?"

Kim Justice posted:And the justification for it is...what, exactly? Some loving joke tweet about identifying as a toaster? Ah yes ignoring that "LOL I IDENTIFY AS [OBJECT] THEN XD" was basically the go-to insult against transpeople and queers for a long ole time. Kim Justice posted:She was "against promoting workplace diversity"...or rather, she didn't agree with them getting consultation from Anita Sarkeesian. Which is, um, not the same thing. Making a big show of "gently caress you company for getting this very entry-level feminist's consultation!" and knowing exactly who you're pandering to at the time by doing so ain't painting a great picture, gotta say. Kim Justice posted:There are obviously ways of criticizing TotalBiscuit but most of the discourse around it is poisonous to a frankly shocking degree. Somewhere the dictum that "when people aim low, we should aim high" was lost completely. "When people aim low, we aim high" has done a great whopping zilch lately other than let more people get trampled, but what exactly is the accepted discourse if "They were an rear end in a top hat because they had a hand in massively signal boosting the movement that molded and spat out some of the most volatile bigots we're dealing with today" doesn't count.

Half the people in the argument seem to be arguing with imaginary versions of other people and it's loving tiresome. 'I don't like rabbits' 'Oh you're saying rabbits are evil!' 'Don't call me a rabbit-hating bilgemonster!' Like argue with what other people are actually saying, if you're going to argue. Christ.

Everyone's so keyed up because of terrible people that an opinion that vaguely resembles the bad guys becomes the enemy at our gates. Kind of like that image of a shell-shocked soldier freaking out over the cap of an enemy uniform.

All of my enemies are the same. Every individual is responsible for the actions of all of them. And if they claim to not know what I'm talking about when I challenge them on it, that's crazy - of course they know what they did, they're my enemies.

TB was buried in a coffin full of piss, as per his last request, please respect his legacy of 'angrily wonder why every game doesn't have six different fov silders' and 'told someone getting death threats 'well...you're still alive, sooooo'' before dying of blood shits he didn't think was worth bringing up to the doctor for years'.

Throwing aside Decorum makes sense in the political arena where things actually matter, not so much when you're talking about a minor Internet celebrity who literally called himself 'The Cynical Brit' and spent most of the time complaining about 30FPS. It just makes it look like meaningless internet drama is too important in your life!

Like what century are you from that you’ve missed the obvious intersection between Online and what happens in the real world? Politics isn’t an isolated arena set apart from the rest of society, and the concept of a truly apolitical anything in this age is an obvious lie meant to insulate people from responsibility for their actions.

Sio posted:What do you think the Internet is? Which leads into the TB discussion since it goes around in circles and, again, won't actually do anything. None of this actually matters in the grand scheme of things, especially today, he's literally dead and will probably drop out of the wider cultural mindset soon enough, not even the people he picked fights with like Sarkeesian have shown any interest in him now. You can pretend like you're fighting the good fight holding deceased angry pcgaming man accountable for his vague role in a movement that 99% of the planet never heard of or you can turn off the computer and get on with your life.
