VOAT Containment Megathread of Trash People for Trash People

GoT is a poorly written and acted show that uses all of those problematic isms, nudity, and violence to cover for the story being dogshit nonsense.

True, but the problem with that post is that it's not talking about those things being a substitute for weak writing, it's the moralizing about the content as if the characters are *real people* that are in need of saving and attributing some nefarious reasoning for it by the show writers (hating women, brown people).

GoT at this point is an emo Deviantart drawing of ASOIAF.

Another problem is that is difficult to tell what GAF considers good writting, as there is posters decrying the term Mary Sue.

For real. One of the main characters being a white lady who's the savior of every group of brown people she stumbles over in middle earth is less offensive than five seasons of that which end up fuckin' nowhere

What's with this economic anxiety thing?
People claimed "economic anxiety" was the main reason people were voting for trump when his base was primarily older relatively-well-off middle/upper-middle-class whites, so whenever trump or one of his supporters did something transparently racist during the campaign, people would wryly say something about "economic anxiety," when the real issue driving votes was racism.

"Because as you know,  old white people are racist scum."

So this has been a thought that has stuck with me for some time, like, I get hate speech laws and am not inherently against having well considered ones, but in the case of someone like Milo or other "deplorable" speakers. Like what is the point of trying to shut him down completely? I get protesting and all that, but actually shutting it down is where it loses me.

So Milo comes and speaks to the already converted, ok? He doesnt come and the same people just circle jerk over on TheDonald and there you go. You shut him down and what was actually achieved constructively on your end?

Like who are you protecting? What are you defending? What does shutting it down actually achieve? I just struggle with the A to Z logic of what is trying to be achieved by the act of shutting it down.

Milo is a troll and they make him more powerful/"right" by creating this war against him. That kind of activism would best be served against President Little Hands.

 Just imagine if nobody actually gave him attention or treated his shit with importance from the go.

 He'd be like every other shitty speaker that goes to Unis pushing agendas.

Thats the way I see it too.

But if you are going to protest, it's once you cross into the whole "shut this fucker down by any means... for reasons" that you cross into nothing but negative conseuqnces and no real positives as I reason it.

It reminds me of every other GAF thread where the response to "wrong-think" is to try and "mods help" and berate them into submission or exile. Like you haven't achieved anything of value. You haven't convinced anyone, you haven't stopped this person from spreading his views in the world or supporting undesirable politicians. In fact, in all likelihood, you just emboldened them, gave them ammunition against you and made yourself look extreme to most neutral observers who probably could of been swayed with more diplomatic approaches...Or at least shamed in a constructive way.

Holiday is now editor-at-large for the Observer, and he’s written an extensive piece about how his Tucker Max strategy has been adopted by Yiannopoulos, his supporters, and other racist/sexist/alt-right assholes who are trying to spread hate and incite fear. As Holiday explains, they promoted Max’s movie (and his book of the same name) by buying cheap ads that they would call people to complain about, by submitting fake tips about Tucker Max-related controversies to Gawker, and by vandalizing their own billboards to make Tucker Max seem dangerous, subversive, and—most of all—super cool. Holiday is now seeing these same strategies being used to promote Yiannopoulos, and he wants people to recognize how easily they can play right into the hands of these jerks.

Holiday says the trick isn’t to try to take away Yiannopoulos’ platform by protesting his campus talks or whatever, because that will just give his supporters something to rally against. Instead, he suggests actually listening to people like Yiannopoulos and giving them a chance to speak, because then the public will have a chance to hear their awful, hateful ideas and they’ll—hopefully—recognize them as being awful and hateful. Holiday says the sales of Tucker’s books disappeared when the controversy and outrage surrounding him ran its course, so he believes that Yiannopoulos and Nazis like Richard Spencer will eventually get bored or tire themselves out if everyone stops feeding their marketing machines.

Ultimately it's all short sighted to me.  The same shit that they want done to Milo, they don't think it could ever be used against them.  It happened when various people would get doxed during the whole gamergate shit.  They were fine with it when some pud lost his job but when it was one of their own who got doxed and fired, *gasp* it was literal terrorism.  It's fair game for nobody or fair game for everybody.  I'm on the side where nobody should be threatened with violence regardless of political affiliation but that's not the choice people are going with.

This is from the same people who thought Gamergaters were some Emmanuel Goldstein type of figure who were everywhere and anywhere and spent the past several weeks looking for Russkies under their beds.  They're just dumb people.  I don't mean dumb as in I disagree with their opinions, they're just not bright people in general.

To be quite honest I'm shocked PDP as a brand/idea is allowed to exist unopposed in 2017. With how on the edge people were last election with political correctness and preaching love, I'm shocked someone like him still had a huge following.

I don't even know where to start. Is this guy completely out of touch with reality or this some kind of weird sarcasm? Love the "It's <current year>" and "allowed to exist" parts too.

Seanbaby is still around, in a way. Maddox as well. I know Tucker Max was huge like 10 years ago and selling books but I haven't honestly heard a peep about a new book or anything from him since.
