The fact is that even if his marriage sucked and he was trying to divorce her, and even if everything was consensual, a grown married man going into 18 year old's DMs to talk to them about 'building a healthy space where we can all express ourselves sexually' and then showing them his dick is creepy as poo poo.

and also tons of his defense boils down to 'she has head trauma' and 'look at them, begging for donations for gender transition surgery' like does he belong in jail, maybe not. is his ex-wife lovely, possibly. does he still suck, yes. obviously. it's insane to me that like 90% of the internet seems to be taking his side but i guess 'no consequences ever for dude who makes mediocre final fantasy reviews' is pretty standard internet.

Yeah, sorry. I'm just insanely frustrated that this poo poo works. His sub base is rebuilding, 90% of his old youtube friends are refollowing him, tweets mocking his ex-wife have thousands of likes. Dudes don't get punished for anything, any time it seems like they might is pure illusion. Even if he didn't commit any actual crimes he still doesn't deserve to be in any position of minor social power or fame with that kind of behavior, but here we are.

even if you are in a polyamorous relationship the point of that relationship is communication and trust. seems to me he could have at least told his ex-wife about his tumblr sex ring, and also opened every interaction with his tumblr sex ring is 'btw im married, my wife is cool with it but let me know if you aren't', which he doesn't seem to have done because while him being married wasn't a hidden secret or anything he doesn't seem to have made a point of emphasizing that he was

TheMaestroso posted:You're leaving out the most original tweet in this discussion where the situation was specifically about her being with a group of cis people (not trans) who were doing a pronoun circle and referring to THEM as "woke." She's expressing how awkward it is to be in that situation as the ONLY trans person and having to go through the motions, which makes her feel singled out and effectively othered in the process. How this became about NB folk is honestly confusing, because none of the tweets in your post or the original tweet refer to them in any capacity.

ftr there are issues with cancel culture but 'cancelling' only ever actually permanently affects people with 200 followers who draw problematic gay voltron fanart, anyone with any sway can literally just ignore it or vanish for a couple months and come out the other end totally fine. like contrapoints will be back in 3 weeks and nobody will mention any of this again.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:i'm gonna admit i am a little uncomfortable with the idea that if someone ever says or does a bad thing, they are Bad Forever and have Always Been Bad and are incapable of change if contrapoints dropped a video literally right now, entirely unrelated to any of this, itd get the same number of views and the same like/dislike ratio as always. the majority of people pay literally no attention to this stuff and even the people who are passingly aware of it will forget about it in a week or two. nobody has any actual power to do anything to contrapoints. she could log onto twitter and declare this was all a part of her master plan to demonize nb people and nothing would happen, her making a mildly off aside isnt even worth a medium article. thats why its so funny that she deleted over it and so many people are wringing their hands just because a few random twitter people went 'hey this is kind of stupid.' literally any pushback for anything is seen as a betrayal of the left, regardless of how ineffectual it is.

SunAndSpring posted:This poo poo’s so loving arcane, no wonder its proponents are all anime avis. And the point is that she responded to someone saying 'gender isnt an internal feeling and the thought that it is is incoherent gibberish' with 'youre right!!!' Like you got mad about someone calling you mate but contrapoints literally says, in that tweet, that if you dont pass as a woman than its totally fine to misgender you. Not in a 'you should understand that some people will make that mistake/youll have to tell them' or 'it probably wont work on a lot of cis people' but literally 'the transwomen ive met who have told me that theyre transwomen arent valid because they werent passing at the time.' That isnt arcane bullshit thats really, really straightforward.

i mean its kind of an inevitable defense mechanism to categorize all people who show up negatively in your replies as 'haters' when you have this much social attention, even when some of those people have a reasonable concern expressed in a normal way and some of those people are threatening to burn your house down. like theres degrees there but it all just gets absorbed into the same noise machine. and the only people who can really fully understand this are other people with platforms, so they talk to each other about it and become closeknit, which means they want to cover for each other, which is what leads to stuff like this, where contrapoints does thing A, people want to instinctively cover for her, which makes the blowup worse. the obvious solution is to not engage with your fans this much but its hard when people value that so much and your entire platform and (if you're big enough) career are entirely online, so you're kind of forced to engage, which feeds into the same fan overinvestment that leads to stuff like this. i dont think philosophytube's response is good, its stupid as hell, but i get why it came out that way. there's just a fundamental disconnect between the way he sees it and the way the average person would see it, because hes the one that has to deal with thousands of replies daily even when nothing is blowing up. But yeah for all that it's garbage that he couldn't just say 'buck angel poo poo tho,' and this isn't the time to advertise the musical numbers in his next video.

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:The so-called trans "community" (which, lol, isn't by any definition a community) on twitter is a snake pit of useful idiots and actual psychopaths that uses an extremely thin veneer of uwu acceptance to peddle the worst kind of telephone-game Mean Girls horseshit I've ever seen. It has absolutely driven people to the edge of suicide, probably ruined a couple lives, and the big names in it are constantly rotating as voices gain prominence and then get cancel-harassed into leaving social media. and associating all criticism with it is bad, which imo the whole 'how many times does she need to explain herself' thing does. by virtue of how that's phrased it implies that nobody should be criticizing her for the buck angel thing because she's somehow made her stance clear, but the entire reason this is blowing up is because people don't trust that stance. not just the community you're talking about, but just normal people who are kinda hurt by the association with angel. and her entire point is that youtubers aren't people you know and you shouldn't devote any like, trust or emotional investment to them. so why is she owed that faith

Antifa Turkeesian posted:Would you really do half as well as contrapoints if you lived her life? I would not. I probably would have reacted much worse to almost everything from the start of the channel. Like I'm not asking her to be a perfect person, I just don't think 'if you do not agree with a prominent guy's very prominent political positions, either do not have him in your video or go 'oh, my bad' if you do put him in a video.' Otherwise people will associate you with that person. If she does not want to be associated with that guy, then don't associate with him? I don't think these are like, unreasonable asks or holding her to an impossible standard. It's a pretty normal standard. You have a big audience, you put someone in front of that audience and pointed out that you put him in front of that audience, people reacted to you putting him in front of that audience. People escalating it to the level of mass DMing her friends are stupid, mind.

My issue with Ellis's statement isn't that she's still friends with contra or that she addresses people demanding she stop being friends with her as weirdos, it's the conflict between 'how many times does contra need to explain her views on nb people, have faith and watch the next video' and 'you don't know youtubers, these are real people you have literally never talked to.' these two are just straight up incompatible, and I think they're kind of at the center of this. The people defending contra are simultaneously saying you don't know youtubers but also that you need to have faith in contra.

the fact is any translation, even a faithful one, is fundamentally not the original work 'cause english and japanese are very different languages. even if characters are saying basically the same things in the same ways at the same time, words have a feel to them and theres just no way of directly translating the feel of words and phrases across languages. you can approximate but you're never going to get the exact thing the author was going for. to say nothing of instances where the author accidentally hits on a word or phrase that has a mood to it that the audience picks up on but the author didn't really intend, they just put it in without thinking. so with that in mind i think its better to be a little liberal with the specifics and aim for the same like, overall feeling the original author was going for, rather than focus on each individual thing and how best to directly translate it, because you're never really gonna do that.

Arcsquad12 posted:I'm thinking back to Raycevick's video on Ghost in the Shell video games. Near the end of the video he brings up a quote from Masamune about how the adaptations of GITS need to change to suit their various formats, be they manga, anime, OVAs, or films. I think that same idea can be applied across language barriers as well, where a story can be its best self for whatever format in which it is presented, language included.
