I know but sometimes you can't help having the same twisted sense of humor as a white supremacist, but thats ok we all have problematic faves and anybody pretending to care is just being an elitist hipster.

People are within their rights to watch and support poo poo from antisemites/racists/homophobes/transphobes. But I sure hope those people don't then turn around and expect LGBT/Jewish/non-white people to respect them.

I find that this thread sometimes has an absurdly broad definition of “support”. Donating to someone’s patreon is supporting them. Publically agreeing with whatever terrible thing they’ve said is supporting them. Watching their videos isn’t.

The idea is that your supporting a creator that way (not significantly of course) by contributing to view counts and influencing *the algorithm*. The question I guess is how big of a deal one thinks that is. I guess there’s also the question of, even if your views do nothing, should you separate art and artist like that and to what degree, especially in the case of white supremacism, way bigger deal than being a rude rear end in a top hat or other mundane character flaws.

If you legitimately aren't willing to avoid watching an open white supremacist's YouTube videos, I don't even know what to say. Unremarkable YouTube videos about reviewing games. Are these the same people who try to justify pewdiepie's "death to all Jews" "joke"?

Me being non-white, I can't really watch a guy who thinks my expulsion from the country I've lived in all my life is a matter of healthy debate at best. The really weird thing about Jon Jafari is that he's Iranian, which means he's somewhere below the Irish and the Italians on the white supremacist's scale of worth.

If you want something similar to Jontron’s style of humor without any of the white supremacy, Scott the Woz is pretty close to scratching the same itch for me. His video on Gaming Mysteries particularly is one of my favorites.

And here I was hoping we'd talk about more weird EU poo poo like the Abominor droids or Vuffi-Raa, Lando's best friend starfish droid from another galaxy who lights his cigarettes and cracks open his beers. The droids on Mandalorian are played by comedians so I want to see IG-11 back in action next week with Taika Waititi switching between mass stormtrooper murder and asking if anyone wants tea.

Animated series along the lines of What If? that's just adaptations of the most goddamned ridiculous old EU stories. 10/10 would buy.

Archer666 posted:J I really don’t get why he loves The Outer Worlds so much. There are a few things to like about it, I guess, mainly the combat and exploration, but everything else felt like a watered-down version of New Vegas that got too immersed in its attempts at comedy to tell a decent story. The companions especially felt lifeless, with only Parvati getting any kind of development. A Plague Tale was much better, but I’m still not sure I would put it so high on the list. It was ambitious but it turned out to be far more linear and constrained than it seemed; it’s basically just a puzzle game in disguise, with most of the puzzles revolving around simple stealth mechanics or the rat physics system. I did like how the story went full anime at the end, though, with characters using magic powers to throw ratnados at one another. Bakeneko fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Dec 23, 2019 |

Outer Worlds was extremely my poo poo but I'd say almost everything it does some other game does better. Also I dig Sterling's recent style and production changes.

God, the space dinosaur book was probably in the upper quarter of all EU novels come to think of it. (not entirely sure what the space dwarves or cyborg sith are though)
