Uh uh, who the gently caress is it for then mate. What kind of staggering inability to understand words does someone have to have in order to decouple the title's implication from this statement.

They're sincere MRA types that are all about "equality". In their mind the sub is all about shining a light on injustice as it pertains to white men (child custody law, false rape allegations, etc). They just aren't self-aware enough to realize how much misogyny they're projecting with terms like "pussy pass". It's a misguided echo chamber borne out of sexual frustration, but one that genuinely thinks they're trying to bring positive change to the world.

Enter the rest of the alt-right (nazis, trolls pretending to be nazis, and 17 year-old versions of your racist relative who watches too much Fox News). There's no pretense of justice with them. They just come in spouting pure unadulterated hate, and this culture clash leads to a disclaimer that this isn't 4-chan, this place is only for discussion of women who "had it coming".

this is the same thing that happens when people say "i'm not a racist, but the blacks need to get jobs" because in their minds they're expressing a commonsense truth and they're not a raving klansman so how can you be racist for speaking the truth?

Saying that is one thing but then doing it in the same space where you share videos of black people being assaulted is another.

Those jump cuts are... not good for a news show. Great for an opinion show, which is what he's been this whole time, but I don't think a lot of his fans realize he runs an opinion show that talks about news stories like every other pundit.

Nah, they can def have someone pull these popular channels down before it starts being reported on news agencies around the world. Daddy O Five for example has been known to abuse their kids for ad revenue for months on various reddit and youtube communities, posts about it even hit front page of reddit over 5 months ago.

Obviously they can't check every single video uploaded a day but I really do think they could hire someone to check out a channel when it has nearly a million subscribers, gets 3 million views a video and receives thousands of child abuse flags a day. Hell the video from Jan this year that caused a stink had the father push the 7 year old into a book shelf as well as the screaming.

It seems the only reports that ever get acted upon are copyright claims, wonder why that is.
Going way back to this, they just lost custody of two of the kids, including the one who caught the brunt of the "pranks"
[quote="
http://www.scarymommy.com/daddyofive-loses-custody-of-two-children/"]They’ve recently changed their tune, as the mother of Mike’s children has come forward requesting custody of the children. According to The Independent, Rose Hall has obtained emergency custody of her two children. “They’re doing good,” Hall says on a video where she appears with her lawyer. “They’re getting back to their playful selves.”[/quote]

The problem with reddit is that shutting down problem subreddits is like cutting the heads of a hydra. When you ban one, more will take their place, usually by alt-righters taking over other subreddits or going on voat. Besides, you don't need much to create a subreddit anyway.

Only if the Reddit brass gave a gently caress. There are anti-hate subreddits that have been calling for the prosecution and prohibition on hate speech on Reddit for ages and they are met with silence from the administration. I don't care how many tennis players the founders marry; Their silence is advocacy for these groups.

That's only really a problem when you also take a very lax site wide moderating stance and have no controls over who can make new subforums, accounts, and for selecting mods for those forums.

From what I heard he finished Secondary Education, but either didn't take or didn't earn any GCSE's, the ending qualifications at that level.

Combine that with his sister apparently having some serious academic credentials and you get a picture of where Carl's seething hatred of academia stems from.

What the gently caress!? They stole the kids, moved out of state, and then started their child abuse channel? This poo poo just goes deeper and deeper. I'm beginning to bet that the videos have been deleted in a stupid attempt to destroy evidence. I'd be surprised if the summer ends without these people being indicted.

Sargon is infuriating to watch; I immensely appreciate Sean and Hbomberguy taking the time to filter his stuff through calm debunking and comedy mockery respectively.

His points are completely contradictory and he's known for saying something dumb/racist, getting called on it then directly denying he said it. I haven't watched the Kristi Winters debate yet, but I did subject myself to the torturous "debate" he did with Destiny in the aftermath of JonTron's meltdown. He blames the complex issues plaguing Black America solely on fatherless households and posited that the government should intervene somehow to encourage fathers staying with their families (which isn't a bad idea in itself). Later, when Destiny was defending free trade and globalisation with the argument that the bad effects can be offset with government intervention to redistribute the gains of globalisation and aid and retrain those who lose out, Sargon said he didn't want it cos he didn't believe the government should interfere with the free market or whatever.

Not to mention his ability to complain that the left have no perspective and whine about inconsequential stuff while moaning about feminist infiltration into Magic: The Gathering.

Anyway, I'm disappointed that TL;DR didn't make the OP as he's basically Sargon, but with 10x the smug. Sargon has some small amount of charisma I suppose; I genuinely don't get how anyone can listen to TL;DR. even when I was a listener and agreed with Sargon's brand of politics, I never managed to sit through a TL;DR video without wanting to punch something.

In the aughts, my introduction to internet atheism was Aron Ra. Thunderf00t was also active at the time, but I never really liked his videos. They always seemed to drag on and he sounded super insufferable.

Aron was chill and did some nice educational videos. Though some of his stuff was specific to Texas, re: the terrible state of the education system there.
I don't watch his stuff that much anymore, and besides a video or two about male circumcision, he's been p consistent. Plus he looks like Satan, which is also hilarious.
