I’m not going to worry too much about whether or not someone like Babish is secretly a sex criminal.

Sometimes people (unconsciously) look at the choice between "accept that someone I like and have invested emotion in is actually terrible" and "deny a painful reality and continue to be able to like that person" and pick the option that's easier for them. We're very bad at dealing with mixes of good and bad qualities, especially when we feel attached to someone (as in these parasocial setups).

Two people I know lean towards believing projareds side of things and they're not even fans of his, just fuckin dumb

I don't care if those two kids lied (well, i guess i would care if there was -1 pedophile in the world) because starting a nude-trading ring or w/e when you have an audience of over a million most of whom are probably pretty young, is, well, I would have to call it bad. also he was definitely still lovely towards his wife.

Yeah you won't hear me trying to say that it's normal or anything smart. I have no idea what the gently caress makes someone think a porn circle is a good idea, especially with the age group he targets for his videos. Like how do you not see something like this coming a mile away.

As for Heidi I honestly don't really know. A lot of conflicting stuff has come out about her that kind of makes her sound way more spiteful and toxic then she let on and at this point I don't think anyone should really invest in it too much.

i think its understandable to not know how to feel one way or the other with he said she said poo poo especially since its internet drama and nobody's business. i'm admittingly biased because i've followed her for her cosplay tutorials for years but i've really only ever seen her act spiteful towards these two people. and, it makes sense why if the narrative she gave is true, and the narrative given by holly + jared felt a lot more incoherent to me. having been gaslighted/manipulated before, it's really understandable to me why her tone could have been really harsh in the past, idk if thats what you mean by toxicity.

i think we can all just agree that keemstar is a blight on society

He was in a open relationship that for a good while Heidi apparently supported. It's been awhile but I don't think anything happened once they were told to knock it off other than just contacting each other as friends?

I honestly might be getting mixed up or miss-remembering in which case please do correct me but I think she was seeing another guy too, he was just never name dropped.

the story was that they tried the polyamory thing, she started up some kind of online relationship, realized that she wasn't comfortable with the polyamory thing cause of holly, and then stopped all of that

idk seem to think that singular screenshot he puts in the vid are really damning but. i absolutely believe that the guy who created a space for soliciting nudes from his fanbase, and then kept escalating it in secret, would cheat on his wife. like he has seemed pretty duplicitous and vague throughout all of this and this video just continues the trend, making a 1 minute explanation of "well....I guess I shouldn't have done that" coupled with 30 minutes of shifting focus onto these two teenagers who, tbh, did anyone care that much about these two in particular? nice magic trick

Also he says "dont harass heidi" but then is just perfectly fine with keemstar calling her a lying whore lol. idk. gently caress him. he has a cool looking room.

if she apologizes for stuff cool and I do agree that like, getting yelled at online by thousands of people is bad

but also if you think that's bad dont put random twitter idiots in your video for people to yell at. i actually checked the video to make sure this happened and, yep. she blots out the names but you can still totally just search these posts and she didnt even blot out the avatar. why do this if the intent isnt to punish these people? if you want to provide examples you can just paraphrase, you have to know people will go after them because you're literally talking about how twitter encourages people to dogile people they dont like, in this video.

And also some of the people in the video didn't even tag her or reply to her, they were just bitching about her on their own feeds. She still tossed them to the wolves.

that part is like 8 minutes long somehow.

i feel like this video said very little, in almost two hours. there were some good points made but they seemed almost incidental.

Yeah, I didn't notice since I was already following her and I haven't been reading closely since I was ducking spoilers. She said she's just taking a little mental health break. So, oops. She just had a few jokes mocking the excuses for Rose not being in the movie and a #ReleasetheAbhamsCut tweet.

Weird that the two actual people I still follow on Twitter are both on break. NyxFears went hidden about a week ago for a break. Just me and cockatiel themed comic strips now.

jenny's been suffused with abuse from people calling her racist for saying she was disappointed with john boyega for making what she perceived to be a misogynist joke. she made a post about it on her tumblr and then deleted it. regardless of your view on what boyega said, that reading is prett yfucking wild



yeah I was trying to think of a way to say this earlier but I kinda wish contra had made like. an apology video, and then the second video where she names twitter people could go unmade, and then another person could make the cancel culture video so it could be A. not two hours long B. not come from someone who kinda deserved the criticism they were getting. related to the above jenny stuff but I think it could be an interesting vid b/c these twitter humans who assign the most uncharitable reads possible and demand you disavow if you're even tangentially related to subject of drama x, well, generally behave in a way that is a net negative as is discussed in this twitter thread. it would also be worth discussing how like, um, this doesn't seem to work except on people with some moral values & a small audience to lose. pewdiepie completely unscathed after encouraging mass shooting, projared survives with sub count intact after running several underage nude trading rings, etc.

Do you have a specific 'you' in mind or are you conflating the actions of everyone who talked about this at all into one megaperson.

I don't really give a poo poo what people in this thread have said about it beforehand though, even if there was a person who said that nobody ever replied to contrapoints ever. I would agree that such a person was dumb, but, really I care about the way she handled this because it hamstrings her video, which (sort of) is about a topic worth focusing on.

I call bullshit on "fence-sitters" turning bad because they heard a "white people suck" joke, it's that "i can't believe you're making me do this" turning-into-a-nazi comic. \

i think sometimes we underestimate how little the average person knows and how (literally) reactionary they can be in their actions b/c of that.

is this the thing that's gonna kill the left?? no. is it worth talking about to your own audience for 40 minutes since it certain contexts it can only really have a negative outcome, no matter how minor, w/ no perceivable gain?? sure. especially when you get paid for it :greencube:

It's an out, not a reaction. The negative outcome is that, you gave the already kinda lovely person an out. But here's the thing, anything can be an out. Talking reasonably about race is gonna be an out. Being a bit too loud about politics can be an out. Anything that challenges the status quo "radicalizes" people that are already conservative. The dirtbag left seems pretty unfazed with calling centrists bootlickers or whatever, why does it become an issue when it's black people dropping a "the whiteness of it all"?

I don't really think that's how everyone generally forms opinions and have heard accounts from former-chuds who literally just thought leftists hated white people. "b-but i'm white...why would they hate...meee...." is that dumb? yeah, but its still politically expedient to attempt 2 bring those people over, even if they're kind of stupid. i don't really like calling people bootlickers unless it's accurate & and the person seems beyond reason, but the difference would be that you can exert some kind of control over your beliefs by way of examining them and can't do that for skin color.

i think where the vaush video fails for me is that he comes out with a blanket "STOP...doing this" statement, although he later clarifies at the very end it's fine in like, personal social circles or w/e (which gets into a bit of murky water as to how you define that) but his own humor punches down a lot in an ironic fashion and he kind of just expects people to know when he's joking or not, which might be fair to his own audience, but i could totally see a random person clicking on one of his vids and going "huh whats this. femoids??? what?? left hate women?? off!!" so, that seems a bit inconsistent, but doesn't really make the argument wrong in of itself. the importance of all this seems vastly overstated but i think that might just be b/c he's permanently aggro.

yeah all of this is very contextually dependent and i think part of the reason why that video can come off bad is because it's just a blanket statement until the last 30 seconds or w/e.
