Okay Ive watched most of the Shaun video, very good video, I have to watch it couple of more times to get the rough timestamps for all the stuff Im referencing but off my head top
I'm 80% sure the video will have instances of him implicating/implying somebody to be a pedophile, I suspect grummz.
I was right about this, very very funny to me that I can predict the words from this fat british mans mouth. He said grummz has an interest in looking at attractive children.
Okay logical fallacies
- Hes trying to shoehorn in the game with character > game with fan service talking point. I agree with this but what he implied was that because its inherently better, it should be the default/majority of the market and there should be some level of social stigma attached to games with fan service, which isnt the case. Fan Service every now and then is good as long as it isnt disgusting or degenerate. Now there are varying standard differences as to what counts, I would say theres a big difference between say an ecchi with some wholesome sex jokes/designs and just big titty tight crotch characters. Best have everything in the market instead of trying to shame and subvert people for engaging with one or the other.
- He brings up the accuracy vs abstraction talking point which is another big misconception among media circles. People like to be empowered using fiction as they use it to escape from reality. That does not mean said fiction needs to 100% align with reality and be accurate to it. Hephastus being on a wheelchair or Hestia being a negress maybe accurate to reality, but its not empowering to a lot of people, it comes across as pandering to a specific minority at the cost of not pandering to others which these people have blamed other media for supposedly doing. A related point to this is that "women looking ugly fits the context of the games". No if you know women they themselves want to look attractive which is why theyre sometimes obsessed with makeup so saying these characters look ugly because theyre on the brink of survival doesnt track with reality when a lot of these characters wouldve fit those same behavioral patterns. Also people like looking at objectively attractive people.
- Grummz bashing is very deserved, hes a fucking retard. Outrage bashing is justified, I have no points against it.
- I didnt expect him to go the misogyny route tbh with the "men want to control women and make them sexy for self gratification". Again fiction is separate from reality, these people are so obsessed with the thermian argument that they cannot comprehend fiction which exists completely isolated from reality.
- He spoke about "classical standards" being classical paintings and dead or alive beach volleyball with jiggle physics. The funny thing hes ignoring here is that classical artists and painters generally tried to insert as much skin as possible into their paintings that there was an industry in the 20th century dedicated to lewd posters made by classical artists, called pinups. Its also common saying that every artist, famous and infamous, has had a tempered obsession with drawing nude pictures. Both classical paintings and dead or alive beach volleyball with jiggle physics are practically the same standard wise, in service of marginally different purposes if any difference exists, its just one is retroactively socially acceptable while one isnt because "misogyny".
- Classic "eurocentric beauty standard" talking point gets brought up. This is too long didnt explain - sexual dimorphism between the races vary, in traditionally white racial groups is close to 100% and decreases the closer you go from white to black. Subsaharan racial groups have little sexual dimorphism in their natural state. So usually if youre going to portray black women as attractive, youre going to have to do a lot of work like with Pam Grier or Tamara Dobson. Attraction itself is a biological trait derived from natural selection tendencies and heavily depends on sexual dimorphism. Its not some random subjective thing which can be made into a societal standard, sometimes at best it is an intersection of social standards and biology.
- Denies the different groups operating inside the games industry can be colluding. This is just ignorant or deliberate double standards. My mind immediately went to how Shaun thinks Terfs and White nationalists often collude or how Israel colludes with the US and couple other collusions between distinctly separate entities hes brought up in the past. Plain hypocrisy.
- The implication that horny games are okay when theyre "not straight" ie baldurs gate 3. Its even more ignorant of a bigger difference than normal woman vs scantily clad busty woman. Its the difference between human, animal and alien, to call it anything but degenerate is observably wrong. In this case fantasy is allowed I guess but since Shaun doesnt have charitability, Im going to call him a zoophile supporter cause hes okay with bear sex.
- Last one, he says that the busty woman brigade want busty woman but also want them covered up cause "they want to control women and deny them agency". This is missing the contextual difference between the two. In fiction, especially private engagement with fiction, its completely okay to have busty woman sex even if you want to engage with straight sexual degeneracy with wet cameltoes and shit. In the real life, in public, having people engage in sexual things like tranny cock or twerking or prostitution (OF) in public, is LE BAD cause of what social effects it may have. At least imo, idk about Shaun, he probably loves that shit considering hes been cucked by Jen and fucking Peter Coffins squeeze.
I have like 15 minutes left, Ill probably watch it couple more times over the next few days but all in all, good video. 9/10. I wanted more political theory and spotting nazis in the floorboards but this was a surprisingly tame video for him.
No they're not good at making propaganda videos they only work on a specific subset of the population IE midwifts.
And seeing how the left is losing in every single demographic in the United States and every western European country I say they can have the hundreds of millions of dollars of Patreon money and CIA backed YouTube.
Propaganda is effective doing something that you want someone to do I'm not sure what these people actually want the audiences to do besides give them money.
Its intellectual propaganda okay? I like it cause it helps me think. I also do love traditional propaganda like this
Ill admit, this is a lot cooler than breadtube shlock and makes me want to do it.
