Warmachine posted:People who are actually capable of defending themselves and exercising the judgement of when to use lethal force and when to deescalate don't post about it. Having lived in Orange County for grad school for a few years, it makes 100% more sense when I found out that he's based out of there. Not saying that everyone there is a shithead (there's actually a lot of cool local activism by undocumented young people), but they have some of the most vile fashy conservatives in the country.

Tuxedo Gin posted:Those guys just can't catch a break. I didn't usually watch much of their stuff but they seem to be good guys. I find their current videos very refreshing, especially when they start off any video about GPUs by acknowledging how meaningless GPU reviews are at the moment.

It's great that Linus (who is arguably the most shilly of techtubers) feels the need to declare that he's" not an anticapitalist activist" in his pro Right to Repair video to reassure the chud section of his fanbase.

Canine Blues Arooo posted:Marques Brownlee makes some of the most beautiful content in the tech-sphere of youtube, but for the aforementioned reasons, I cannot take his opinions seriously - it's pretty overt shilling. Linus's 'previews' are at least quarantined off, but it does damage his brand when I have to constantly be double-checking whether or not this is a 'preview' or a 'review'. Unbox Therapy is terrible. Steve is bae. I remember him and Linus doing that "8K GAMING" commercial for Nvidia when Ampere dropped

Good luck to anyone RMAing that gigabyte PSU (or any gigabyte compnent). Apparently the recent Gigabyte hack has really taken a toll on their RMA service, which was already the worst in the business beforehand.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:Their monitors are decent at least. They tend to make smart choices to reduce cost without sacrificing functionality, making for some pretty solid mid-budget displays that are competitive with the high-end displays out there. As for everything else they make, I think I'd rather stay away They can be a decent economical choice (their mobos seem to be solid), but you're pretty hosed if your purchase has problems down the line even within the warranty period. If Gigabyte was my only choice, I'd consider buying a 3rd party warranty just so I don't have to deal with their clown car customer service or RMA experience. mA fucked around with this message at 19:13 on Aug 26, 2021 |

Lots of online gaming subcultures intersect with openly racist communities (4chan) and other online spheres that consider themselves "anti-woke" (r/kotakuinaction) and those clowns tend to have a large voice and presence even though are the minority. I don't think that's all that debatable at this point. At the same time, in our racist society/world, your average gamer probably isn't all that much more or less racist than the person walking down the street. As for Bitwit, good comedians play with stereotypes all the time to highlight the absurdity of racial bigotry, build empathy across culture and community, or make a political observation through humor. Bitwit's "Chinese" accent bit does none of that nor is it funny, because he isn't funny, nor is he skilled enough to comment on society and culture in those ways. He's a dork who makes a living building computers on youtube. I sense that when his stans come to his defense around his act, they either have an unhealthy parasocial relationship with him, and/or have an anti-woke agenda they're trying to push forward. I'm not sure exactly what he's is trying to accomplish with that bit, because he isn't even playing a character when he does that voice. He speaks just like he usually does but with an accent. At best he comes off as extremely cringe and unfunny when he does that voice and at worst he's reinforcing mean spirited anti-Asian stereotypes and mockery. mA fucked around with this message at 23:30 on Sep 9, 2021 |

I would have loved to be a fly in the wall to see Linus' meltdowns at the whole team. On the latest video, it seems like all of them have been up 48 hours straight having to deal with his passive aggressive whining

Arivia posted:I saw that. We don't specifically know it's about Emily, we don't know how much if any transphobia Emily is facing in the workplace, and we certainly don't need a goon making lovely transphobic jokes to keep going along with the dogpile. Um, that "attack helicopter" bit is textbook transphobic AF to include in an official video, regardless if Emily was 'cool' with it or not.

FlapYoJacks posted:If any of the Madison accusations are proven true, this will, at the minimum, irreparably harm their brand, and Linus/Yvonne will be forced out. Unfortunately, I have a sinking feeling they may ignore the entire thing, and the collective goldfish midspan of the internet will forget about it in a few weeks. If enough outlets report on it, then they'll need to respond. And they'll use the polite, passive aggressive gaslighting strategy that every corporation does nowadays. "We see you, we hear you, and Madison's experience is valid, but the majority of the LTT family loves working here, etc." mA fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Aug 16, 2023 |
