Pewds also specifically recommended a video essay on netflix death note where the description refers to a black character by the n-word.

Whenever Pewds is on the news all I think of is "what stupid poo poo did this idiot do this time". If the guy manages to get the news for something positive, and its positive on his own terms and not just trying to apologize (see him donating to an Armenian charity after denying the Armenian genocide), I would LP be surprised.

I'm not sure they're literally Nazis so much as they are insanely, pathologically committed to their libertarian ideals of free speech and communication being a net good 100% of the time. There was a Facebook dude a few years back who said something along the lines of "Yeah, we just assumed that the more people used our service, the more problems would solve themselves."

Note that I'm not sure that what they are is really that much better than Nazis, though. They're useful idiots for the cause at absolute best.

i don't think there is any 'at best' scenario here. youtube has consistently poo poo on leftists and lgbtq peeps while doing fuckin nothing to actual nazis, there's no way that's just a case of them looking for profit.

Again the silver lining to climate change is that Silicon Valley will either be under water or burned to ashes by wild fires by the end of the century, so the TechBro reckoning is coming too.

Tech companies are founded on the principle that technology will solve problems and as a result they are incapable of contemplating that technology can cause problems it cannot solve. The solution to hate speech is always just one algorithm away, all we have to do is engrave the word in millions of miles of printed circuits.

Speaking of Guru Larry, I should take the opportunity to promote Digitiser: The Show! Of which he is one of the hosts - it's currently halfway through the run and seriously cooking on gas. It's absolutely, gloriously manic. Also, this episode has an arse. But WHOSE?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_AkZ9VYVRM

Quoting this oldish post to confirm that Digitiser: The Show is an absolute riot. It's got the same shambolic, matey vibe that I loved from gaming magazines growing up, with a surreal sense of humour. Also it's got a few other UK 'tubers as regulars, including Octavius Kitten and Ashens. I'm sure some people will bounce off it pretty hard, but the friends I've shown it to have loved it. The latest episode features Dan Maher, a game of speed-pictionary shot so that half the drawings are obscured, and a truly unpleasant twist on the classic YouTube staple of "friends grossing each other out with mystery substances".

The latter reduces the amount of engaging content: fewer content creators with "controversial" opinions means less engagement and ad revenue.

This is the part that scares me the most - every family gathering I'm trying my best to nod politely while my nephew rambles on for hours about minecraft while also keeping an ear out for dog whistles. He's heavy into gaming, streamers and just started high school, and it worries the hell out of me. His mom isn't going to be much help either.

So many people are committed to freedom of speech, but don't want to actually have positions on topics or speak actual truth to power, so they just translate that into "freedom to be a stupid edgelord". It's almost like the freedom of speech part is the noble excuse for them to be the shitheads they always wanted to be or something.

Just in case you thought that might be an exaggeration:

https://twitter.com/Boogie2988/status/1072285499048497152

Boogie feels the need to point out, in the light of a man hitting his freaking pregnant girlfriend, that he thinks the woman shouting and throwing cardboard (clearly a lethal device) with no other context than the clip is also bad, AND believes that the kids should be taken away from both of them (a TRULY fantastic solution Boogie! Really, brilliant. The crimes of the woman are clearly as bad as the man here, ergo they should all go into care - truly a great environment to grow up in, you utter poo poo). Oh, and the man has previous domestic violence arrests from his relationship with his ex girlfriend/mother of the children. And was also caught on stream calling his two year old daughter a oval office for having the temerity to try and get his attention while playing Fortnite.

Another new low for the World's Friendliest Gamer then. Kinda makes me depressed to be honest.
