User Banned (1 Week): Concern Trolling Around Racism

What does this even mean. It's a perfectly valid question when you see a large crowd gathered in front of that assholes house

It doesn't mean you want to protect the guy but you can also see how that thing can go sideways fast

The guy they were supposedly 'protesting' wasn't even there, because he'd been arrested, and the mob still smashed up some lights and windows and had to be dispersed because they were getting ugly.

Great numbers, especially for a show that isn’t on a service that’s available worldwide. Deserved, too! It’s been great so far.

I'm not sure I'm going to watch all of it but in the first 30 minutes she makes some good points that actually fit perfectly to RE. Like the constant "Listen to POCs!!!" while actually just listening to the ones that are the loudest and then treating them like a monolith. Then all the white folks who seem to deal with their own ingrained racism by just constantly pointing the finger at others. You must be "one of the good ones" if you constantly call out racism after all.

one of the more mental things about some strands of 'wokeness' (ie the kind you see on ree) is that you should treat black people like some legendary mythical pokemon that you saw in  a zoo, rather than another human being, which has never set right with me :hmm

I find it kind of funny that this forum of all places is trying to have a dialogue whether a youtuber should be canceled because her tweets could be read as insensitive to Asians. I have the screen caps and the ban history to prove this forum doesn't actually give a flying fuck about the actual problems Asians face.

Seems like she's still struggling with the harm her words caused. She acknowledges that it was bad, and that she did it, but I don't think she's completely taken it on board yet. She obviously disagrees with people who think she has nothing to apologize for, but I don't know that this is really going to move anyone one way or another.

No one owes her time. Least of all the people her tweet hurt.

 :mindblown

No one can sincerely tell me that "I think Raya is like Avatar" causes harm. I don't buy it.

Good to see eras usual suspects have settled on it just being her white fragility / tears / feminism / privilege as being the real problem.

One thing that puts me off, and it's not just with Lindsay but all videos like this, it just seems weird to "produce" videos like this. All people want is a sincere apology and recognition you fucked up and how you're gonna not do it moving forward, like just sit in front of a camera and talk if you're going to do a video, it gets weird thinking someone is going into Final Cut or whatever and being like oh I need to reshoot this part, I messed up what I said here so gotta cut that, the white balance got fucked up here gotta re-do that, is the camera angle okay, is the lighting okay, all that stuff. To me, like if your intention is to be candid and put everything on the table you don't really need to edit it.
You see the need for it though pretty strongly in this video though because she edits out details about her suicide attempt and her rape and her PTSD because she decided that was way too much to share in-depth.

And internet mobs are a real thing but, like, context matters. People fighting fascism or supporting minorities attacked by right-wing morons isn't bad, mobs silencing progressive voices who make videos criticizing their Lord & Saviour Jordan Peterson or Ben Shapiro are.

Oh, okay. One of us doesn't understand the meaning of the word 'context' I guess.

I keep saying it. DON'T. FUCKING. APOLOGISE.

All it does is allow these people to hyper analyse your apology and come up with asinine reasons why your apology is not sincere (which it really isn't because the only reason you're apologising is to assuage the raged-up fucking idiots anyway).

Own it, move on and they will find a new target.

for once i agree, all these videos are always the same, too long and always talking about personal shit nobody cares about that has nothing to do with anything to make the mob feel bad for them, so they can be a victim too. they are all a scam. you know as soon as the camera is off they say thank god thats over and have a drink and a laugh and play fortnite when in the video they are always so serious

if this chick wasnt white they would all be talking about how brave she wasm for making the video, its all a scam

She doubled down and made another tweet basically (paraphrasing) saying You'd have to "squint" very hard to see anything nefarious. That's such a racist remark.
I think it's really too much to suggest Lindsey Ellis was being racist when she said that.

Then again I also think it's ridiculous to blow a gasket for someone claiming that a movie that clearly takes multiple elements from Avatar the Last Airbender has clearly taken multiple elements from Avatar the Last Airbender.
Quote
even ignoring all the racist implications (which you definitely shouldn't do!) it's just such an incredibly reductionist and ignorant take, and that she chose to share it (and everything else I've ever seen from her), I think shows she's frankly a terrible critic and I'm not sure why anyone would look to her to provide anything of value or insight
You really that annoyed that she mildly burned the latest Disney mediocrity?

Quote from: Tic Tac, post: 62986761, member: 24070
This friend is more like my ex and I've stayed in their life as a friend for the past 3 years hoping they'd love me again. And yes they are aware of that. We would stay in contact every single day through text and online means, since they live in another state. Recently they started communicating with one of their online friends on the Xbox more often... at least I think so. I'm suspicious. I remember them telling me they were going to ask them for help with an achievement on the Xbox, and ever since then they have not been talking with me much anymore, and I have been feeling hurt and ignored over it but yeah I know correlation is not causation, but I'm highly suspicious. I think I'm understanding that saying right. But In general I have been struggling to be their friend and I have been in a lot of pain for a long time but I keep on holding on to hope, and I am really attached to them. I cant cope with the idea of them being with someone else and I don't know what to do. I have asked them if they liked that person last year, as we were all in  a group chat and they said what I perceived to be a sexual joke towards them, or less so of a joke, but they told me they were just friends. After that, as punishment they said they wouldn't allow me to interact with any of their friends again. I honestly didn't care. obviously I just wanted to talk to them alone.
It sounds crazy but there have been weird moments or glitches, of their Xbox avatars being merged together. Out of all the other people they follow, why them. And just other odd shit, like some kind of warning of what is to come, though to be clear I am not superstitious. I am not even religious.

But anyway, so here is why I'm suspicious.

1. They seem to like the same things.
2. I noticed they started playing a game this person likes out of nowhere. What's odd is that their Game pass/gold is ending soon, and they chose to play this game instead.
3. The drop in communication and response time/interest since they went to ask for this persons help.
4. Tonight I noticed they were in a party chat with them, and I have a hunch they've been talking for the past few nights. Like the night before I was going to help them with an achievement as they asked, but they said it was a bit of an inconvenient time. Which is odd, its like why the f&ck ask me in the first place then. But I bet it was inconvenient because they had plans to talk to them again I am sure, and I feel like I was just being used to help them real quick before I get ignored and tossed aside.
5. This person only lives 5 states away. I lived a bit closer but around the same distance. Didn't stop them from dating me, though the reason why it didn't work out was because they didn't like CA I think. They also left because they are in a bad spot and are depressed but how does that stop you from loving someone? It doesn't for me. But I've really been struggling with the idea that I wasn't enough honestly. It pushed me to attempting suicide in 2019, and I was shortly put into a care facility for people who were extremely depressed. It was intense counseling but I was too quiet to benefit from it.

So I want to know if something  is up between them but I have no idea how to ask without upsetting them, and sounding like an obbssesed stalker. Maybe there is a specific way to write it? If I find out that my hunch is true, then ill leave the friendship and be done. I just can't say goodbye as I don't want any regrets or to live with what ifs my entire life. It would be a huge step for me and id fall into a depression for sure. I'm very scared of being alone, and not having that close connection anymore. I think of leaving often when I get treated bad or ignored but the pain stops me, though I have left twice in the past but came back out of missing them.
I am aware my thinking is flawed. Its like I'm stuck in a wrestling ring, and I'm just getting beaten on over and over again, but I stay for the few good moments when the beating stops and they drink tea with me or something. I live for those moments. I think back on the good times and cry over them a often. But I'm exhausted. I've lost so much sleep over this pain. I often cant even eat or focus on anything and my life is just flying right by. I hate it. I feel like I'm stuck in a box of pain. I don't look forward to the mornings, as that is when I start feeling awful again. I have had mental breakdowns over it.
When I read my message here I sound nuts but I'm in a lot of pain. 3 years of this. And I don't know what to do. I don't want to say goodbye but this situation is actually pushing me towards it. I am so terrified they like this person. What do I do?
They already feel annoyed at me for bringing up the fact that we don't talk much again but it hurts. Its like they don't get that. You are ignoring me and it hurts you f&cking asshole, is what id honestly like to say but I am really nice and forgiving to them, even when they can be really mean towards me. Too afraid to get mad at them.  So yeah.

 :info :wut

In all seriousness I hope the Reee mods just quietly close that thread.

I can't be okay with them giving " i love yous" and "special attention" to someone else while I lay around depressed, knowing they are doing that. I can't handle it. idk how other people can stay in any kind of contact knowing that's happening to someone they love still.

She doubled down and made another tweet basically (paraphrasing) saying You'd have to "squint" very hard to see anything nefarious. That's such a racist remark.
I think it's really too much to suggest Lindsey Ellis was being racist when she said that.

Then again I also think it's ridiculous to blow a gasket for someone claiming that a movie that clearly takes multiple elements from Avatar the Last Airbender has clearly taken multiple elements from Avatar the Last Airbender.

even ignoring all the racist implications (which you definitely shouldn't do!) it's just such an incredibly reductionist and ignorant take, and that she chose to share it (and everything else I've ever seen from her), I think shows she's frankly a terrible critic and I'm not sure why anyone would look to her to provide anything of value or insight
You really that annoyed that she mildly burned the latest Disney mediocrity?

The ban message is literally "you're off of here for two weeks because you have a different opinion."

Who's the shorty in that gif Vom?

Some ANTM contestant from a few years ago. I liked that cringe.

SmokyDave is probably on the correct guess ?

era - and twitter on a larger scale - have painted themselves into a ridiculous corner by giving subjectivity ("muh feels") the same weight as objectivity (evidence), in that you now have to decode the motivations of someone saying something absolutely fucking ridiculous so that you don't "dismiss" or "downplay" it, which is literally fucking impossible to do and you 'have' to let people say the earth is flat or one molecule of garlic in a glass of sugar water can cure covid, or that saying the latest Disney flick for YAs owes a lot to an older highly influential cartoon series for YA is racist, because you inherently have to dismiss someones 'feelings' when it leads to coming out with obvious fucking nonsense, because its fucking cultural detritus.

You're not "giving away your allyship" calling someones histrionic hot take fucking stupid. You're not 'diminishing' them as a person by telling them they're talking shit.

Cancel culture may not be real but that won't stop most people on Twitter from trying their best to fulfill the spirit of the concept.

Whatever perceived fault she did she didn't deserve all that hate and "cancelling". The rape rap was just fucked up. If you are a bad person (like J.K.) you deserve to get cancelled, but I wonder if these people even have an idea of who they are hating on. Have they even seen her videos before? What she usually support? She is an ally of LBTQ and colored people. Most of these people has probably never seen her videos, then they saw the words "squint" and "Asian" in the same sentence and decided "now is the time to be outraged". Squint is a normal word, it is used in sentences all the time. Have they seen Raya and Avatar the Last Airbender? There are a lot of similarities. Just watch the Honest Trailer for Raya on Youtube. I feel like some people are just looking for a reason to get angry and feel better about themselves talking shit about a person that is perceived as a bad one. And now these "haters" are going after Jenny Nicholson next? Like some in this thread has already said, it seems a little Gamergate-ish.

this 👌 close to making a realisation

only you care about that question, Cracka

This is such a dick move. By establishing the 'a' suffix right away, he's left us palefolk having to spell the word as 'Craqua' when reclamation time comes. I don't want to call my fellow bleachboys 'Craqua', it'll sound stupid :(

While the cop was out of line for shooting almost instantly, are we not going to question why a 13 year old had a gun and was out at 3am?

Enjoy your forthcoming ban!
