Diseased #Comicsgate - The Culture Wars Hit The Funny Books!

[The Tall Man]

Hold on.

Don't try to stop me from kicking them into the pit.

The "Fellowship" regards themselves as no different than their fans. Sure they let the fame get to them now and then, how can having half a million to 4 million people paying attetion to you not get to you sometimes---however... Time and time again you will see Nerdrotic, Ryan Kinnel, Geeks and Gamers, Eric July, Az, etc. going on to channels with less than 1k subscribers and keeping the same energy they have on their own shows. They are truly nerds/geeks/gamers/fans. That's why attacking them has been pretty useless. They're not trying to tell you that they have a better way, they're portraying themselves as sitting on the couch next to you throwing popcorn at the TV and BOOO'ing alongside you.

I believe most of the culture commentators are simply idiots; the ones with brains got banned a long time ago.
Many of these YouTubers are not evil or pretending to be something they’re not. Most of them probably do believe the nonsense they say.

YouTube is a Skinner box for YouTubers.

There is the direct manipulation of YouTubers via TOS, monetization, and guidelines. But it’s far more sophisticated than that.

The main feedback a YouTuber gets is from YouTube comments, which form the YouTuber’s opinion on what people think about their videos. We could argue about how much influence the comment section has on the direction a YouTuber will go, but that it does influence future decisions is undeniable.

Go to a YouTube video and type a spicy comment, then go to the same video without an account using the Tor browser, and behold, it got shadow banned. So it’s visible only to you on your original account but not seen by anyone else.
If it got outright deleted, you might write a differently worded comment with the same meaning, but nobody checks their own comments; they just think nobody agreed with them or cared.
It’s hard to figure out what is banned or deboosted besides the obvious, like the N-word.
Comments about COVID, Jews, race, anti-White noticing are things that get shadowbanned no matter how carefully you word them, in my personal limited experience.
I remember typing a comment on a small channel giving tech advice. It got shadow banned?

There is a very advanced form of manipulation of the comments going on. Alphabet used to brag, before most people knew what AI is, about their super advanced content moderation bots.
Things YouTube wants to be seen get pushed to the top, and things YouTube doesn’t want to be seen get pushed to the bottom or removed.

That means that comments are not a representation of what people think. They are a heavily distorted representation of what people think and are actually closer to what YouTube wants people to think is the majority opinion.



This creates a system that, with each interaction, pushes all of YouTube closer towards the opinions YouTube leadership wants them to hold.

Now, of course, people don’t form their opinions solely on YouTube.

Wanna know why that works?

These "anti-woke" channels get promoted by YouTube; that's the main reason why they work. That means YouTube's leadership thinks it's worth keeping them around. Alphabet never cared if YouTube loses money; they only care about having control over information.

It seems weird at first glance, since YouTube is obviously a very woke company that doesn’t care about free speech or making money.

99% of the "anti-woke" YouTubers are completely cucked and will never utter a single word that goes against YouTube's guidelines.

And this is the whole reason they keep these people on the platform: to delude viewers into thinking their own misgivings with media are heard because those guys are grumpy about it too. But it will never go further than being mad. There will not be any opinions deeper than buzzwords.

And the last thing YouTube wants is for people to start leaving their Skinner box.

These people are the textbook definition of controlled opposition.

This is why FNT is the powerhouse that they are, and will continue to grow on all fronts. They are friends, and I'm not being fluffy when I say that. They genuinely like one another and enjoy the company of that entire group together. Everyone found their niche. It's why there are so many passionate fans. Why they send so much superchat money.

I agree that they will keep growing unless they actually start disturbing Silicon Valley’s agenda.
They are the YouTube-approved place for people to vent their frustration with modern media.

It’s a smart system: all the customers who have anger and want things to change are now spending their time and money on a bunch of guys who will never say anything not approved by the very same people who are ruining the hobbies they are mad about.

TL;DR Youtubers aren't humans they are the silicon valley borg.

 

[Incecticyder]

He obviously envisioned his company as a miniaturized version of the Big 2, specifically his beloved Marvel.

Actually when he was asked if his company was going for a DC/Marvel model (the house controls everything but people get royalties) or Image model (creator owned), he said that his company was for his stuff alone. Which is stupid because one man cannot make a comicbook company with only one man. But that is what he decided. Every artist and writer works on his ideas. Turning away from Jawbreakers, which at least was a solid flagship title, is like DC moving away from Superman and Batman.

 

[Contemptive Court]

Nerdrotic got called out by Mark Hamill's ex-daughter-in-law. That was over Mark Hamill asking this woman to abort her child that she had made with Hamill's son. Gary liked to use that as a sledgehammer on Mark, and I guess Grandpa Luke went and cried about it to the mother of his unwanted grandchild---and she directly called Nerdrotic out and asked him to stop mentioning it.

See, I find that to be much more respectable content than a lot of the stuff his crowd has been producing the past couple years. That's some good honest heat.

I believe most of the culture commentators are simply idiots; the ones with brains got banned a long time ago.

99% of the "anti-woke" YouTubers are completely cucked and will never utter a single word that goes against YouTube's guidelines.

Yeah, the Darwinian element that shapes the outer limits of allowed speech on YouTube is rather obvious. No schizo inference required: you can draw conclusions based on what is in plain sight. If not for their bizarre behavior and personal lives, every prominent YouTuber could run for Congress in Ohio and win. The penalty for courage is un-existence, like you were never there.

Occasionally I'll see someone on Certain Sites complain about how are there are literally no good YTers and I just shake my head. There probably have been many of them, but you've never heard of them and you never will.

[Tepes Thot]

he's still smart enough to know that if he attacks CG directly, meaning EVS, he'll cost himself what customers and audience he has left

This is exactly how you know it’s all bullshit with him. If he was genuinely trying to clear things up around him, he’d start with himself, Ethan, and CG in general. However, the simpbucks speak louder than principles, so he has to lie to his audience that YouTube nerds run Hollywood.

I think there’s a term for someone like that…

 

[Olórin of Hype]

I agree that they will keep growing unless they actually start disturbing Silicon Valley’s agenda.
They are the YouTube-approved place for people to vent their frustration with modern media.

So to be clear, the grandsweeper that's hiding comments and removing "da troof" is the same bot that hunts copyright/trademark violations. Today Youtube AI provided premium users with a "context" to the current conversation when you click on a stream. An overlay box appears that explains the context of the conversation on screen, as well as the context of the conversation in the chat.
You are not dealing with a "bot" like a sweeper. You're dealing with a Artificial Moderator (not intelligence). It understands context and hunts down abusers based on that. You've seen channels get iced recently because their video(es) violated some form of hateful conduct rule that's so vague it can't really be interpreted to mean anything concrete. This Auto-Mod is why.

On the inside of BIC, I see what Youtube will flag outside of the obvious "No-No words". Lately it's been hunting context and harmless comments that have an "edge" to them (ex: These idiots are fucking up gaming forever) will get flagged for moderation. I can approve or delete the comments Youtube isolates as "Controversial"


When you're a creator in this environment, you self censor in order to preserve the the greater intent of your work.
"The greater good."
While this stuff is pretty empty for you, these guys are pretty proud of what they do.
I get a little proud myself sometimes when I see the dopey AI music I generated getting received well by the audience.
So losing it all in order to call out DA JOOOS for things nobody can fix without the full power of the US Government backing them...
Seems kinda dumb to throw away your own personal interests and vocation because "the time is now" to go Unbreaded?

What your bringing up is a standard that can't ever be met.
Today Youtubers are weak because they cannot say the magic words.
Tomorrow they will be weak because they can't shoot guns on livestreams.
The day after that they will be weak because they cannot drink alcohol and smoke on camera during a stream or video.
The day after that they will be weak because they cannot have sex on camera.

I realize you don't want Nerdrotic naked, shooting guns, getting high and drunk while screaming "THE JEWS DID 9/11" at the top of his lungs for 4 hours...
But I want you to consider what your gripe really is with these guys.
Are you mad at them because they won't mount up a full kamikaze assault on "Red Media" as Kanye called it?
Are you mad at them because they won't create a new platform where they dedicate their time, talents, and energy to alerting people to "Da JOOS"?
Are you mad at them because they don't reward your worldview as passionately as you would like?

What I read in your comments about this is a chipped shoulder over the condition of media, everywhere. There is no single place on this Earth that is not moderated. Even /pol/ has Jannies, even the DerpWerb has jannies. Even here has jannies. Do you REALLY expect people to disregard that and focus their lives on exposing "DA JOOS"?

I explained this to a few guys a week or so ago in a dead streamyard.
You the individual, the army, the nation---can't overpower this machine. You have to wait until everyone everywhere is ready to dismantle it.
And we're not even close to the halfway point for that to happen.
Most of your normie folks, have no idea that there's even a common censorship charter between these various social media platforms.

She's defended him after the arrest. She also chose EVS over Flash.

That's what I'm talking about. Her defense of him. I guess her being a deadweight on "The Real BBC" was why she was yeeted from there.

That's some good honest heat.

I'm not sure you fellas understand what "Pop Culture Commentator" means...

The Fellowship has made it pretty clear that they're not interested in the culture war. Geeks and Gamers even keeps it relegated to Jeremy's "Cobracast". He even stresses that the GnG channel isn't for politics despite the on-and-off dip into that realm.

Eric July, Shadiversity, Drunk 3PO (Jay), and Epic Mike are the only four that I know of that have departed the status of commentator and entered the space as competitor. You can say what you like about "He's not a competitor to Marvel/Hollywood". Sure, you're right. They've had 100 years to build themselves into the culture. But Eric's intent is to meet them on equal ground. Again, say what you want about execution, but it's where his head is at.

Most of the Fellowship aren't interested in leaving the Commentator position to become a competitor. Which, I can respect. If you're not on fire about making stuff, don't do it. We see what the product of not being down with the medium you're working in looks like.

 

[Captain Manning]

That's what I'm talking about. Her defense of him.

Oh, I see what you're saying. Okay.

I thought you meant Rekieta pushed for people to drop her. Not only is she still a FROG and Balldo guard, Rekieta ain't got control of shit nowadays. That's part of the reason shower call has become a meme.

Flash is a weird one. On the one hand, he's clearly not happy with EVS and Rekieta. On the other hand, he was all like "muh lady" when Ana had her melty at Sean (Potentially Criminal). It was pretty pathetic. He should have told her to eat dirt. I can only imagine it's because Ana has been more restrained in her support of EVS and Rekieta, as of late, compared to Nina.

Will based black man stomp on The hobo clown? He will probably hit Richard's comic book the comic book at least 5 hours after launch and probably beat fearsome in a week or 2. I think the collections will probably cap at a hundred grand due to being his "one shot" characters.

 

[The Tall Man]

Spoiler: Getting off topic about Social engineering

On the inside of BIC, I see what Youtube will flag outside of the obvious "No-No words". Lately it's been hunting context and harmless comments that have an "edge" to them (ex: These idiots are fucking up gaming forever) will get flagged for moderation. I can approve or delete the comments Youtube isolates as "Controversial"

You do realize that you do not see every comment that gets removed.
I know that YouTube holds comments for moderation, which is not the same thing as a comment getting shadowbanned.
You can be sure that the rules YouTube uses to flag comments are different from those used for comments that get shadowbanned or outright banned.
You also know that YouTube doesn't sort content by most viewed or most relevant but does some occult nonsense that only they know the purpose of.

If you honestly think that this is your look under the hood, then you are simply gullible.

When you're a creator in this environment, you self censor in order to preserve the the greater intent of your work.
"The greater good."

You change and often justify your new behavior based on what YouTube's leadership wants because YouTube money and e-attention are what you desire.

Seems kinda dumb to throw away your own personal interests and vocation because "the time is now" to go Unbreaded?

That's right, it's just a little change, and then another little change, and then another, and so on and so forth.

And now you start convincing yourself that you actually held these opinions forever, because nobody wants to admit they got forced into a new belief.

What I read in your comments about this is a chipped shoulder over the condition of media, everywhere. There is no single place on this Earth that is not moderated. Even /pol/ has Jannies, even the DerpWerb has jannies. Even here has jannies. Do you REALLY expect people to disregard that and focus their lives on exposing "DA JOOS"?

You are arguing against an imaginary position I never claimed to hold.

How weird and ultimately dishonest would I look if I were a pro-troon activist using a website run by Null that employs powerful clandestine moderation and highly sophisticated manipulation tools under Null’s complete control?

This is pretty much the exact situation these culture critics are in.

They are on a website with highly sophisticated behavioral modification mechanisms employed by the very same people they purport to stand against. You don't even have to call them 'Da Joos' if that makes you uncomfortable; you can use 'Cultural Marxists' or 'Globalists.' It doesn't matter, it's Silicon Valley people who hang out with their media and Hollywood friends.

I realize you don't want Nerdrotic naked, shooting guns, getting high and drunk while screaming "THE JEWS DID 9/11" at the top of his lungs for 4 hours...
But I want you to consider what your gripe really is with these guys.
Are you mad at them because they won't mount up a full kamikaze assault on "Red Media" as Kanye called it?
Are you mad at them because they won't create a new platform where they dedicate their time, talents, and energy to alerting people to "Da JOOS"?
Are you mad at them because they don't reward your worldview as passionately as you would like?

You are massively reading into what I typed.
I don't hide meaning between sentences; I try to be as crystal clear as I can.

I will make my statement very simple: YouTube is a Skinner box that conditions YouTubers to behave the way YouTube leadership wants.

There is also a big difference between someone who causally uploads stuff to YouTube and makes $50 a month with it, to someone who has quit their job and staked their entire livelihood into becoming a professional YouTuber.
They have made YouTube their live.

It is very easily observable in these people that YouTube has changed their minds, because I do remember many of them promoting GoW: Ragnarok as some not-woke, great game.

Here is a little video that might explain this better to you. Keep in mind that Professor Stuart Russell is really committed to keeping this nonpolitical and grants YouTube way to much good will, but you and I both know that these Silicon Valley people are very committed to pushing their personal politics and social beliefs onto others. Also, realize that someone who has dedicated their life to YouTube gets exposed to this manipulation to a far greater degree than a casual user.

There are things you can look into if you care, maybe you do. Like the Aspen Institute, the Tavistock Institute, or maybe the Esalen Institute.
You can even read the writing these places produced you might have heard of "1984" or "Brave New World" makes them even more creepy knowing they aren't warnings but battle plans.
They are all extremely well-funded and conduct research into how to do effective PR (aka propaganda) and how to transform humanity.
This is what all the billionaires of the world spend their money on.

Propaganda was never like it's depicted in Hollywood it's all about subtly steering you down a desired path.

The griftoids claiming this is not woke speaks for itself.

i was going to say it looks like Vaush was going to love this book, but then i noticed it said "the horseman" and not "horse semen" like i thought it did.

 

[FedPostalService]

EVS has abandoned all quality control in terms of who gets to be CG now. To whatever extent he ever had any. The only pertinent question for EVS these days is: "Will you attack Eric July for me?"

Comicsgate is now just a bunch of men in their 50s acting like the BPD girl when she split up with you in your early twenties. It’s sad and pathetic to watch and anyone still involved is a retard.

Burn it down, salt the earth, and start anew elsewhere.

 

[Fleetwood]

i was going to say it looks like Vaush was going to love this book, but then i noticed it said "the horseman" and not "horse semen" like i thought it did.

Though he loves horses, a stream w/ vaush and mint and riley exists (Drunken Peasants) so he is a detractor,

 

[Olórin of Hype]

If you honestly think that this is your look under the hood, then you are simply gullible.

No no, you explained your point.
No one can be trusted unless they can scream NIGGER and THE JEWS DID 9/11 autistically into the microphone.
Who would dare have higher aspirations than burning their lives away screaming into the void about DA JOOS when, as I said, it would take the full force of the US Government to do anything about the problem.

What is most amusing about your toddler rant about not having 1938 Germany's Youtube---is that no such place exists.
It never will.

I can't watch those JooTube videos you recommended. If it's on Youtube, that means it's a lie.
You said so.
So, I can't watch that video with the old child molester looking guy, or that hideous social whatever video.

It's not my mission in life to kamikaze my existence into the side of Mount JOOMEDIA. By all means, go out there and start up a social media platform that's totally open. Wide open. Fist guy through the door shouts NIGGER at the top of his lungs---open. It won't find a server to host.

Once again, your argument boils down to:
These guys can't do this, so they're weak.
Tomorrow, it'll be the next limitation.
You will never be satisfied with any change, because that's not your focus.

Killing DA JOOS in the streets is your focus. Again, I can read it all through your writing. It's this chipped shoulder about control, and these guys are just the closest mechanism to beat and pound on.

If you really wanted to fight DA JOOS you'd light yourself on fire in front of ADL headquarters with a "DA JOOS DID 9/11" sign around your neck. But you don't, you want Gary to fight DA JOOS. You want Chryssie Mayer, Geeks and Gamers, and everyone else on the planet to conform to your ideas... Rather than having any independent thought or goals of their own.

Did it occur to you that maybe, killing DA JOOS isn't what most people wake up with on their minds everyday?
Maybe it's not something, as I said, even 1 nation can do alone.
But these "culture critics" aka TV/Movie commentators, they should do so, and they should fight your war for you. Becase you refuse to do it. You're too good to do it. You're "special" so you can't go unbread yourself to 1million subs. Gary should do that, instead of you, right?
So brave.

Oh well, at least you tried.
Go ahead and be predictable, tell me how the world is controlled, and nothing is real.
I know all of this. I know that Red Media runs the world, I know that people who like bagels run every institution there is.
A bagel lover runs BlackRock and promised to use that entity to "force behaviors" in people. Even declared that "markets don't like democracies, they like authoritarian Governments". Kamala and Trump argued over who loved Bagel-land more than the other, rather than talking about homeless and starving Americans.

But you will NEVER convince me, that it's wise to burn down an avenue of communication just to get back at an enemy that won't even notice that sacrifice. It's galaxy brain to the max.




Edit: This me explaining Blackrock, on BIC, during a morning livestream. I explain what it controls, how it does it, and how it became as powerful as it is. Time stamped to the beginning of my TedTalk.

 

[Mr Processor]

How does he figure that? Drinker does beat for beat summaries of the plot as the core of his reviews and usually spends a hour going over a film on his podcast. It would be easy to say his reviews are derivative and the same no matter the film. But I don't get the impression that he's not watching the film in question.

He just makes the assertion without evidence. For example, he went into autistic detail about The Crow remake's new lore and was mad that the Critical Drinker didn't do the same. It didn't occur to him that maybe the Drinker found that new lore boring and stupid. I also think a big part of it for Zack is that he likes all these bad movies and therefore anyone who doesn't obviously couldn't have watched them.

 

[NostalgicJam]

So on top of Eric releasing yet another successful comic book, he's now working out a plan to get a whole animated season of this new book. MC is voiced by Dean Cain too. So we have Mcfarlane toys, and now animations with Dean Cain VA. Dude's doin pretty well for being independent

This is what Ethan was supposed to be doing. This is what CG promised, but instead, they did a million unnecessary detours until the destination was forgotten.

This is the real reason they hate Eric. Every time he, or Yelllowflash, or Iconic comics gets their promised work out the door (+ reinvests in their work through upgrades ) it exposes the CG grift.

Ethan, Zack, & co. need you to believe it takes years for a stupid cartoon handbook, so just cut another check and they’ll get there one day. EJ shoots that lie in the head.

Back when Zack started putting his retarded movie and TV takes on his main channel, I thought, "This is it. This is the bottom." Now that he's doing political hot takes, though, it is so much worse.
