Fucking fantastic video. Thank you
i love mugs like those!! theyre so whimsical
One last thing on morality, I feel like you could sit most people down and they'd agree bad things can happen to good people and that evil people are getting away with stuff, but on individual case by case basis they still largely go "something bad happened to you? Must've done something? Why did you let those nudes get taken of you?" On the other end they'll see "sucessful" people get it some "hot water" and moan about cancel culture and how the issue isn't real, and if it is real it isn't that bad, and if it is that bad we gk right back to "well they must've done something to deserve it" you see it with the r Kelly p tapes and how people rallied behind him, with Kanye literally declaring in a music video all of his buds heil Hitler and unironxally going "they canceled him for saying the truth" or how the first amendment should cover Alex Jones harassing victims of candy hook. It's gross beyond measure and I honestly hope one day they can come to terms with how being so phobic to politics and any kind of nuanced discussion as being "cringe" and "ruining our videogames" when actually their "apolitcal" stance is what's digging them deeper into the hole.
Secondly (because i keep forgetting pressing enter causes the post to send), how does one (at the risk of triggering the worse sort of people) replace a culture? I'm not being rhetorical, I'm literally wondering how, like in a situation where a community is so thoroughly rotten, how can you transplant that with something better. I know you mentioned something about C9 and them taking some accountability and getting mango help but I kind of bristle at the idea of having corpos be arbiter of morality and what is "healthy behavior" like HR isn't your friend and should be treated like the typical traitor they are, I can agree sexual harassment policies are important but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth when more than likely every companies CEO has done unspeakable things on a monthly basis. Like if Bobby kotick (known sex pest) is still your ceo does it really help much if ubisoft has a sexual harassment policy? I guess what im asking is there a grass roots way to fix this instead of relying on the top down patriarchy to self regulate yet again?
First, I love the mug, I never understood how you paint something like that, cause it looks so glossy.
A question: shouldn't we apply the same scrutiny to '*illing yourself' jokes and casual mentioning as to r*pe jokes? I'm asking with the heavy heart, as I'd like to keep them around (the k.y. jokes, not the r. ones). Great video as always!
this is something that i think about a lot actually! line drawing and justifications for specific kind of inflammatory comments around kys jokes vs other kinds of jokes and what is and is not acceptable to make. i've actually been considering doing something deeper about this, because it is something that i've questioning my use of as well as the colloquial application of. i can't give you a good answer now, but like you i also find their exaggerated nature satisfying to use both in reference to myself and other people. maybe im partially desensitized to it as someone who does have a suicide attempt under my belt, but obviously thats not an excuse if it really is something to watch out for. sorry for not having a concrete answer, but it's a really interesting topic!
for real though it's a nice house mug
When will these men grow the fuck up OH WAIT, SOME OF THEM JUST BECOME WORSE VERSIONS OF THEMSELVES WHEN THEY GROW UP. IT’S SYSTEMIC, IT’S THEIR ENTIRE PERSONALITY, AND I FUCKING HATE IT. Nowadays I end up watching hobby vloggers all the time, because 1. Hobbies are the only thing that bring me happiness in my life anymore (apart from friends); 2. People being happy about something they made is just awesome; and 3. The people in the videos generally don’t believe the American Pie movie characters were a personality blueprint they should replicate when they got older.
Love it! Pray for me to get a raise in my god-forsaken corner of the world, Perú, and will become a paid subscriber, because I love what you do.
i appreciate the sentiment friend, but please spend your money on things you need and not my content. i post things here for free because i want people to see them, if they can give me some extra support then that's fine, do not feel the need to do so.
Tectone is a horrible person, his dad was discharged from the military for sexual assault and then Tectone sexually assaulted his ex. Like father like son.
