I wouldn’t say Rogan gives them a hard time as much as he’s a credulous low-information blowhard who just nods along with insane poo poo like when Peterson’s air-slowly-leaking-from-a-stale-balloon voice confesses that he hasn’t slept for a month from cider doom. He believes in like crystals and aliens and poo poo too, so scientific racism isn’t really outside the realm of what he’d consider.

*confession* I don't really listen to his stuff much. I mean, I remember the Sargon one where he had a pretty good laugh at Carlgon for how 200% mad he was getting about VidCon and hey he's got a big thread on here so he can't be *that* bad - like, I might listen to him if he's got someone on who's interesting and usually that's not going to be a YouTuber lol.

They actually won’t any more. He’s pretty much the sole reason they abandoned streaming debates as a recruiting tool, as even his moron brain could eviscerate their best and brightest. I wouldn’t endorse his every idea, but he’s good at trapping nazis in a way they can’t wriggle out of, maybe partially because he’s not that far away from the kind of person they like to recruit.

Warski 100% platformed holocaust deniers who used him as a way to recruit, all while mocking him to his face with nazi lingo they knew he wouldn’t understand.

ah, Andy Warski...he went from almost being friendly with Franchesca Ramsay to lighting his nipples on fire for superchats in the space of a year. What a story.

Like, I understand why some would say that Rogan's a bit of an idiot but then I remember that Andy Warski exists and the bar for idiocy is clearly higher.

So, Andy Warski's channel was basically your run of the mill anti-SJW schtick filled with vids about feminism this, Riley Dennis that, and a lot of reaction vids to Franchesca Ramsay's Decoded stuff. The connection kinda comes from there - Franchesca was having friendly chats with some of the anti-SJW youtubers including Warski around the time of Vidcon last year. It didn't really go well in the end though and not much came of it, it was all a bit odd.

Anyway - a few months after this, Warski starts doing these live streams that eventually become known as IBS/Internet Bloodsports that feature a whole load of people, in particular a guy named Jean-Francois Gariepy (JF), a French-Canadian white ethnonationalist and absolute creep (this is a guy who admits, without shame, to seeking out partners with learning difficulties so he can control them). The bloodsports become very popular - it dovetailed with a lot of drama that was happening in the commentary community at the time, there was almost always guaranteed to be some sort of fight, superchat money was rolling in, Warski's channel was growing more than it ever had in the past...not that anything of worth was being debated - Mister Metokur, when he eventually did a video on the whole thing, described it as worse and more chaotic than Jerry Springer - as devious and nasty as he might be, I can't think of a more apt description. They were a shitshow.

Andy Warski is, alas, a very unintelligent and very manipulatable man. As the streams went on, it became obvious that JF was manipulating Warski to hell and back - essentially he'd commandeered his channel to use it for his own platform, his other white ethnonationalist/Nazi friends would be on it, Warski himself would be pretty much relegated to the sideline and usually mocked if he ever spoke up. Warski eventually realised what had happened and the poo poo REALLY hit the fan - there'd be arguments on Warski's streams, they'd go on other people's bloodsport streams...it was a complete and utter hellscape of poo poo and piss. And the superchat money kinda stopped rolling in...which is why, when you're Andy Warski, the Bloodsport streams have died and there's no one else left on the show, you end up shaving your head and lighting your nipples on fire for donations. This did indeed happen like, a couple of months ago? He quit YouTube for a bit after that. I had a look just now and it seems he's back and doing the stuff he was doing before the whole bloodsports craze, with the difference being that his channel is utterly dead.

Do ASMR-tists qualify for this thread? Prolly not but this article that I stumbled across today might have some overlapping content:

https://www.engadget.com/2018/09/14/paypal-ban-asmr-sound-art-therapy/

quote:

In June, China banned and excised videos of sound effects while claiming to cleanse its internet of pornography. YouTube had already demonetized the genre in a sex panic; now PayPal is banning people for life and holding individuals' funds, ignorant of the facts and marching lockstep to the tune of 8chan trolls enacting a campaign to punish "whores."

The most bitter punchline in all this? A tiny percentage of the entire video genre is even remotely sexual, and those suffering — female creators — aren't even making sex content.

China’s not wrong that ASMR videos are pornography, like not literally or by any objective definition, but at some essential, ineffable platonic level. I find them extremely unwholesome, like Bart Simpson flying kites at night. It’s the one ironic affectation I wish Contrapoints would drop.

There is however an ASMR bank robbery simulation video that is funny and extremely well done.

It’s always, always kid-loving with these people. “Libertarian,” “classical liberal,” “traditionalist,” “provocateur”—it always comes down to not minding genocide and demanding to rape children. It’s like Dr. Strangelove’s arm. The just can’t help it.

Today is the very same day that the founder of Hatreon fled the country to Singapore because he got busted by the fbi for going after a 15-year-old on a dating site called “sugardaddymeet.“. He too is a “libertarian” with “serious questions” about “freedom of speech” regarding “genocide.”

That's really the biggest issue with the Tabby character. She's clearly meant as a 'this person has good intents but looks at things through a wrong lens' but she never really....explains why, so it just kinda winds up that Tabby seems perfectly reasonable if a bit silly and the tone is 'heh, you silly girl you don't understand' needlessly.

Tabby is usually the best option in those dialogue videos. I don’t think they’re meant to be socratic or didactic as much as express ideas or conflicts without clear or satisfying resolutions. She might make mistakes, but the liberal character is always a cowardly piece of poo poo as much as anything.

Yeah, that's about my take on it. It's more polyphonic than what you'd expect after the Foppington sketches which were more straightforwardly The Sage And The Fool.
