Makes perfect sense to me, especially when theme parks have kids as their primary target audience and customers.

Well, except for overweight kids, apparently.

The newest ride at Universal Studios Hollywood, Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge, takes visitors into the classic Nintendo game using augmented reality and animatronics. It also warns that they might not be allowed to ride if their waistline measures 40 inches or more.

Isn't it weird how disgusted they are by someone like Mr. Beast making money of altruism, which then funds more altruism, but are completely okay with a proclaimed socialist like Hasan getting rich off his streams and not doing shit for anyone? Isn't the former a much bigger net positive?

Weird that an aging left-wing author who largely spends her days on Twitter has been built up to be this Hitler-esque figure for their movement.

Almost like instead of Harry Potter always being shit, they were deeply attached to the franchise and that plays a huge part in their enraged reaction.

The irony is that they likely own their current stances to Harry Potter and its "nazi = snake wizard" allegories, considering that their education and world view never went above children's media. :doge

I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel this small bit of advice would go a long way toward making this site a more pleasant place to spend our time. I'm not suggesting that we can't discuss differences of opinion, but it seems like there's a lot of this kind of drive-by negativity that doesn't contribute to any discussions and only exists to let people know that a user has a negative opinion about something someone else likes. Here is a brief, made-up example of the kind of thing I'm talking about:

Thread title: Who's your favorite character on The Big Bang Theory?
Unproductive post: TBBT is annoying trash and I don't know how anyone can enjoy it.

There is more than enough negativity on the internet. It's better for everyone if we don't add to it unnecessarily. Thank you and have a nice day.

Ree would be in total shambles if this was enforced. All the prominents would lose their minds if they couldn’t derail threads they didn’t like.

Go for it B.Dubs

It’s all about the performance. Hasan talks all anti-capitalism and socialism in defense of the common person. Doesn’t matter if his words are hollow and his actions are in stark contradiction to his positions, he said the right words. Mr. Beast doesn’t have the right words. Sure, he might tangibly help far more people than Hasan or ERA will do in their lifetimes, but he hasn’t said how capitalism is soooooo BAAAAAAAaaaaad.

Which is ERAs and the Twitterstazi’s MO in the end. Doesn’t matter what you do, all that matters is what you say and if you said it the right way.

TransERA arguing for a rapist of women to go to women’s prison, and ERA ‘elite’ arguing against a man spending his money to give 1000 people their eyesight.

They need to pump the breaks a bit this week before they start vehemently supporting an animal shelter that only kills right wing and CHUD puppies and kittens.

NepNep, if Jessie can spend half a day describing how bad Joanne is, would it hurt more than your brain to provide greater than a sentence as an actual plan or vision? Lay it on us! You say it’s ‘technically solvable’ so what are the mechanics that make the solution so certain and achievable, to make any decision otherwise seem facist in comparison?

I think the closest we got was her talking about how cities could supply themselves by having public gardens for food growing with a "take one, leave one" policy, seemingly unaware how many tons of food are consumed every single day in a city of millions

Its actually worse than that when you think about it - watching a Mr Beast stream directly contributes to the next philanthropic act, watching a Hasan 'react' stream while he eats ramen and goes CAPITALISM BAD contributes only to his income.
Its not a zero sum game, but there must be some percentage of hasan viewers that would have otherwise been interested enough to watch this story on mr beasts channel, that now will not need to because they watched hasans instead.

It's crazy that the Overton Window has moved enough over the last few years for this not to be unanimously seen as the obvious hate speech that it is.
The Overton Window of "hate speech" has shifted to classifying less things as hate speech?

The thing I love about those Avatar threads is the sheer shock of some of these weirdos screaming that nobody they know has seen the movie.

So they are legit shaken at how its done so well.
Nobody I know voted for Nixon, but yet he won? (Not a real quote, I've also seen it argued that Kael, had she said it, would have been using it to mock others in the NY elite not an actual opinion of her own as she was a critic of The New Yorker view of the world. But I honestly know nothing about her and didn't even read her Wiki entry despite linking it.)

Quote from: Nepenthe
Individual actions are unreliable in resulting in systemic change though. That has to be done either from enough collective pressure from the masses to scare governments into the right course of action, or a collective epiphany on part of the people at the top to do better for the sake of the planet.
Humans love less consumption of goods they consider essential and lower living standards! If only those dang rich and powerful didn't let people get better off!

Quote from: Nepenthe
Two, the use of charity as a vehicle for driving personal revenue is doubly untrustworthy because it shields you from criticism whenever you actually get caught slipping, as MrBeast did when it came out that he was fostering a toxic workplace environment that everyone predictably forgot about. But this is a tale as old as capitalism: Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Sam Walton and other rich figureheads figured this out decades before MrBeast was even a thought in his parents' heads that building up your reputation as a rich guy who cares about the little guy is a very easy way to maintain the hierarchal status quo. A few nice acts, some statements about how the workers matter, maybe a few more days off than the competition, and you're a bonafide hero, a figurehead to be worshipped. And ultimately, that's what philanthropy means to the rich; it doesn't seek to solve problems, but merely seeks to alleviate a few people from those problems for self-gain, either reputational or financial through tax write-offs.
The irony is that she named three people who have been expressly critics of capitalism as practiced and all three made deliberate decisions to try and back other methods, Buffet through his "responsible investing" where you're supposed to take morals into account before investing, Gates through his pledge to leave almost nothing to his heirs and establishing multiple funds for charitable giving (which has created a standard of practice among billionaires that all must at least feign a similar disposition), and Walton in his determination to account to the lowest classes first in his corporate decisions that was similar to Buffet's it was after he died that Walmart began to pursue expansion for expansions sake that put the company into a position where Amazon could undercut it and force it to rebuild its entire corporate structure.

Quote from: Nepenthe
Three, MrBeast does not put his money towards organizations and politicians whose goals are to establish new systems entirely that supplant the issues caused or exacerbated by capitalism. Granted, this isn't actually a thing unique onto him; the online left in general is fucking horrible at using their money and influence to sway and lobby for actual policy. And many of them will tell you in one way or another they have no real interest in doing that, that "my place is on YouTube/Twitch." And in a world where Gamergate and 4chan nerds nabbed the presidency, the online left's inability to actually engage in political and activist systems is a fucking joke.
She's never named a signle one of these organizations or politicians. Probably because they don't exist.

Also note how she believes in the conspiracy theory that Gamergate elected Trump.

Nepenthe wants to save millions of lives by destroying the world's wealth and making it institutionally impossible for wealth to ever exist again. She constantly demands permanent poverty for all. Does she care? No, because she's so completely stupid that she believes unending slave labor for the entire planet to enrich a political elite is a moral good. She identifies the problem as too many humans being too wealthy thanks to the massive increase in the standard of living that capitalism has brought the entire world and determines that the answer is enforced poverty and enslavement on all. Forever.

Why does she believe this? I couldn't tell you. But I think the answer lies somewhere in how she reacted to the plot of Need For Speed: Heat. (Yes, I love referencing this jokingly but I'm actually referring to it in this case in a serious way, I think her sheltered ignorance and dismissive treatment of anything that doesn't immediately interest her and she can't understand is at the root of her constant displays of willful stupidity up to wishing for an apocalypse that wipes out society.)

They hate Mr Beast because his whole thing is proving that captialism is capable of helping more people than whatever shithouse pseudo apartheid communism that Neopetenthe subscribes to.

Under neopetenthe's dumb shit ideas, he would have just handed all his money to poor people and that would be it. Under his ideas, he's able to help people while generating more wealth to help more people.

As much as I love King of the Hill, it seems like Judge's politics stink. I've heard he has some interviews with Alex Jones that reveal a bit about his politics (at least way back when the interviews took place), but I never got around to actually listening to them.

I can't find anything clear on his politics, but so what if he is. Era with a cultural solution looking for a problem.

I also voted for that Austin prop to clean up homeless camps. It sucks but having tents on service roads and parks and people soliciting in traffic isn't a solution to addiction and homelessness, all it does is make some people feel good about themselves

one of my favourite ree contradictions is how they're mostly all incredibly cynical about things (well he CLEARLY meant this) and unbelievably naive (no one would ever take advantage of or abuse this!).

like such a free supply of food or anything wouldn't be raided by greedy fuckers or scumbags looking to sell it on with nothing replaced within about 10 mins.

I can't find anything clear on his politics, but so what if he is.
Nazis shouldn't be allowed to make cultural works. What's next, letting a transphobe and antisemite write a book series about wizard children?!?

i think the crux of the mr beast hate is people who sit on their arses all day acting like they are the most righteous person alive get mad and lash out when something happens that makes them realise that tweeting all the time makes no difference to anyone and have to reflect for a moment on not being the saint they've convinced themselves they are.
I mean Mr. Beast isn't solving the problems just dabbling around the edges and helping people here and there, he's doing nothing to make sure other people don't have the same problems, they would solve all problems for good permanently. As they'll regularly tell you, everything in life has a simple single solution, you just have to do it rather than worry about any consequences or effects on people.

you can't "sell it on" if capitalism doesn't exist  :wag

with all resources taken from the rich and distributed amongst the rest of us, everyone will be happy and healthy, and no one will take more than they need, because there will be no one to sell it to (because no one needs it)

Shouldn't it just be rationed out to them in the amount they need rather than having to force them into the emotional labor of "taking what they need"?

I enjoyed Halo 4 a lot, after falling in love with the franchise thanks to Halo Reach.
Halo 5 was a mess.
Infinite was extremely ambitious but it had... a bumpy road, to say the least. Not even a supposedly monstrous budget avoided the tranwreck. From meme factory to unexpected redemption to brand destruction, all in just over a year.

343 never felt "organic". Many employees have more or less explicitly indicated that there were  an extreme reliance on contractors and vast, long-term incompetence in the upper management. Ross and Wolfkill leaving their roles probably signals the advent of a new beginning for the studio.

Also: I remember Frank O´Connor being the franchise director of such a flagship while still having time to post dozens of trivial messages on NeoGAF per day during some of Halo´s darkest days. That always caught my attention: the Xbox crown jewel was on fire and one of the guys in charge was spending literal hours talking about the audio system in his high-end car o some other non-related stuff. In retrospective, it felt that something was not right.

Still, most of RE are not willing to shit on Bonnie Ross, even if she was the public face of the studio since its inception.

The other thing about that Mr Beast thread is the people in there, including the ones singing his praise, somehow think this 1000 blind people thing is the extent of his philanthropy or there isn't much more to it than that.  In the last year, he:

.Saved an orphanage
.Rebuilt homes for tornado survivors
.Built houses for homeless families
.Gave $3 million in aid to Ukraine refugees
.Gave away 1 million meals to poor and homeless people

And that's just looking at stuff from his philanthropy channel that makes him a whopping 0 dollars and not his main channel which arguably have even higher scale philanthropic efforts.  It doesn't count his absurdly impressive environmentalist activities that have no doubt helped the world.

"But what about his motives?" My unironic response to that is who fucking cares. Mr Beast not existing wouldn't suddenly feed those millions of people, planted those 20 million trees, gotten those Ukrainians aid, and on the lower scale side, given those 1000 people sight.  None of those things would have happened while the brutal machine that is capitalism kept chugging along, chewing up and spitting people out with no sign of the thing breaking down.

In fact, even more people would fall victim to it, and something tells me that's what Era and these other terminally online leftists want.  They'd rather a million people die just so they can say "see, told you your economic system bad while mine good!" instead of having someone working within that system saving 500 thousand of those people, a system that by the way isn't changing in our lifetime if ever.  That's what happens when you have such a strict adherence to your black and white ideology; anything that defies your worldview has you attacking unequivocally good things.

If the guy starts using his wealth to harm people, then by all means shit on him. But until then, if the worst thing you can say about him is "he's doing this to feed his ego and whines about it on Twitter when it isn't fed", you're missing the forest for the trees.
