VOAT Containment Megathread of Trash People for Trash People

[etiolate]

Colin seems kind of like a cunt. Making that kind of joke in the current climate was super dumb. Dude should have had some sense. Don't say anything in public if you aren't prepared for the consequences.

Same kind of shit it happening with JonTron. Crying fowl because they're not allowed to say whatever they want without consequence. It's like they got to about 16 years old and never matured passed that point.

It's not about avoiding consequences. The people reacting to Colin's tweet are not doing so out of any sincere alarm. They are doing so because they are trained to react emotionally and they desire the social reward it gets them. People do it for the chemical release to their brain and the social capital. Some do it because they are just scared of the angry reaction coming their way if they don't perform the right way.

Not a single person sincerely thinks Colin is a nazi or alt-right or a sexist. Everyone is full of shit. They sell their sincerity for brownie points.

People rile that group of people up with words because that behavior is ridiculous and harmful.

[fistfulofmetal]

And? That's the consequence. In the past you wouldn't make a dumb fucking joke on International Women's Day on a public forum so literally everyone could see it. These people think the kind of shit that played in their close circles is perfectly acceptable on Twitter and it very clearly is not.

[fistfulofmetal]

Being an edgelord used to only result in you annoying your friends or the small closed forum. Now you post the dumb shit out in public you deal with the consequence. Get some friggin sense.

All places with tiny footprints relative to now. Your shitty opinions were never being broadcasted to literally millions of people, publicly, until now.

Nobody said you have to be a saint and refrain from posting dumb jokes and nonsense. You just have to acknowledge that it's going to a much wider audience and there will be consequences.

Imagine if you lived in NYC and you made a dumb crass joke in your office. It may spread around to maybe a handful of people. No big deal. Then what if it gets spread to the entire office? Again, might be a problem but relatively not that big a deal.

But what if your dumbass joke got plastered on a billboard in Time Square with your picture and name attached to it. That's a much different story. That's what's going on here. It's little gentle snowflakes like Colin and Jontron that don't see to get it.

Yes, my point was that they drag out the people who don't really think that. "Your opinion is shitty and.... you shouldn't be able to say it." It's that second unspoken part which is the deal. People can call you dumb, or whatever, but if they go after your account to get you banned or go after your livelihood then that's a bit different. The intent in that second scenario is scare people into censoring themselves.  Of course, free speech is never promised to be easy speech. You just gotta watch out for bad approaches and intent against freedom of expression.

I'm pretty sure that Colin has said everyone has a right to respond in words how they want to so you're arguing against an imaginary foe.

But what if your dumbass joke got plastered on a billboard in Time Square with your picture and name attached to it. That's a much different story. That's what's going on here. It's little gentle snowflakes like Colin and Jontron that don't see to get it.

Wow, just like a big boy college student.  He smart.

Punching up (i.e. minorities and women making jokes about those who hold institutional privilege over them) = resistance.

Punching down (cishet white men making jokes about minorities and women over whom they have privilege) = douchebaggery. Any questions?

liberals learning about the phrase "punching up/down," is the worst thing to happen to comedy since Carlos Mencia.

Last night was crazy, my liveposting was probably really annoying so here's some quotes people got:

 "What do you call a large number of people from one specific place, coming in, setting up their ethnic enclaves and then waving their own flag inside of our nation? There are large swathes of them who want to break parts of America back into Mexico."

 'Sure if all these people could assimilate instantly, but even then they would ruin the gene pool. It has to be a slow process.'

 *When asked about if he thinks Blacks have genes that make them more likely to commit crime.*

 '*laughs* I'm not going to incriminate myself. This is like one of those "gotcha" shows. Y'know you should work for CNN.'

  "We've gotten rid of discrimination in our western countries. If you don't think we've gotten rid of discrimination, you're living in a fantasy land.
This oppression in America, it doesn't exist."
 
   

Yeah, that is full on racist.

Sure Jontron, mexicans wish to stole land from the US and return it to a nation where they could barely make the days end.

If I had to guess, it's the more dramatic and self-obsessed parts of far-left twitter spilling into GAF. It's basically one to one to weirder replies you'd find under a controversial tweet concerning gender. Pretty good act if it isn't sincere lol.

His joke wasn't even that bad, Jesus people need to get a life and find something more productive to do with their time instead of losing their shit over a dumb joke.

He probably would've got away with it (to whatever extent it actually negatively affected him) if he included a picture of Al Bundy or something. Seems like it was a kitschy joke. It's a moot point anyway, since it's his politics, draped in his smug veneer, that people find intolerable.

The fact he's getting more or less the same amount of aggressive vitriol as JonTron bumbling his way into full-blown white nationalism makes the whole thing seem like a self-serving routine rather than a meaningful response.

It's like everyone you disagree with slowly blends into this one image you say "FUCK YOU" to every morning when you wake and every night before you go to bed, and also while you are bored at work. It's Colin Moriarty, Pewdiepie, Joe Rogan, JonTron, H3H3, Glenn Greenwald, Berniebros, Ghostbros, the one celeb who said something uninformed, etc. all guilty of the same thing as this one entity called the alt-right, which actually means Nazis, and also libertarian, watches Dragonball Z, and is funded by Russia. Sometimes pro-life ex-CIA agents, war criminal presidents, and even Arthur Gies can temporarily escape this collective and be loved if they say "FUCK YOU" to the right people (ie. Trump) along with you. Principles and perspective are secondary to the emotional sensation of getting a good imaginary punch in. Seems like a therapeutic release at first, but eventually it starts to become addictive and reality-warping like porn. Going through that thread, it was like being overexposed to this process, actually ruined my mood for a few minutes. I get that same feeling when I stumble onto a twitter account that is 90% the same shit. "look at what the SJWs at doing!" and the reverse, and these dudes are reading each others' twitter feeds nonstop. Shit must be taxing on the body.

[Dennis]

I have no idea who JonTron and Colin Moriarty are so I feel like I am missing out on todays drama.

[Brianna]Wu seems to be trying to put on political gamesmanship with some of her on record comments here, but given my interaction with her on twitter she is really woefully uninformed about how politics actually works and probably should spend time getting up to speed so she can be a good candidate. I don't think she really is a full on capitalist judging by her twitter comments, for example, but rather that she knows capitalism plays better politically than socialist.

I imagine successful Youtubers are constantly "engaging with their community" and are making it hard on themselves to segregate their bread & butter area of expertise from the rest of ill-thought out opinions on life, the universe and everything else. I dunno, but I imagine Roger Ebert never went on a hours-long tangent a propos of nothing on #WhiteGenocide.

I find WWII to be a "good" war, in regards to what the Allied Powers accomplished under the duress applied by the Axis. It bettered humanity and changed the face of democracy and war as we know it.

You can't however, gloss over the horrible, despicable atrocities committed by the Nazis that occurred during the interim. It was a time of utter horror and crimes against humanity that none of us can, or will fully ever comprehend.

Jim Sterling's argument is "good" - and I disagree entirely with it.

He lost all integrity and respect due to the way that he went about his review process for Breath Of The Wild. It just seemed like he was "out to get it" before he even played it and I think that's the point.

Imagine if he had given the game a 1/10 what a tremendous backlash that would have got him! He didn't even need to do that though, because just the 7 was enough.

Also Amir0x posturing as the voice of reason in that same thread

Funnily Jim's 7/10 score was revealed days prior in his VSWID video. I guess most thought he was being facetious since he was in-character.

I have no idea who JonTron and Colin Moriarty are so I feel like I am missing out on todays drama.

And each with their own 70+ page thread.

Meanwhile nothing on gaf about raf simons' move to Calvin Klein. 

[WanderingWind]

I mean, yeah, if you get upset about a review score it's probably past your bed time, but if you think Jim is above stirring up shit for clicks, you're kind of thick. Being articulate about being a shit starter doesn't change that. It's entertaining though, which is more than I can say about the people getting upset over a review score. But the dude has been whining about Nintendo not giving him free shit for years. He knew what he was doing and NeoGAF fell for it, hook, line and sinker.
