BreadTube - The Unofficial ContraPoints Dickriders Club and the culture / drama surrounding the community.

[Kulee Baba]

Nothing wrong with the cadets, but it's a kids club and should be treated as such. Claiming it constitutes actual training is laughable.

However, I would pay good money to See Ollies warface as he's doing bayonet drills in a dress.


I really don't even take issue with it when doing historical characters. I take issue more woth the double-standard which has established itself whereby a white person playing a black person is stealing a black role, but visa versa it's empowerment, and if you say anything you're a bigot.

So for example they got a black actress to play Margaret of Anjou in a screen version of a Shakespeare play. I take zero issues with this, it's character driven and it's not meant to represent what medieval Europe was like. The race, sex of the actors and even the time period is almost irrelevant to the story.

Where I do draw the line is when you have something trying to represent a historical time period, even if it is a fantasy version, with all the grit and grim and human drama and yet everyone is racially diverse. It's jarring, and it destroys the immersion, plus there are ways of including such characters that can help build a believable world so it's not like you need to leave them out...

The entertainment industry as a whole just doesn't know what to do with black actors because if they're given negative traits it gets condemned by liberal psuedointellectuals for perpetuating stereotypes and thus playing into "systemic racism." The comedy genre and its slow neutering is a prime example of this.

You know what was one of the biggest sitcoms of classic television that no one under 50 is aware of? The Jack Benny Program, it ran for 15 seasons on American television and before that was a long running radio program. A true comedic institution. It's forgotten and only occasionally aired now on an easily overlooked cable channel JLTV (Jewish Life Television) because the most popular character was Jack Benny's comedic foil butler "Rochester", a lazy drunken black man with a hilarious voice. America loved Rochester because he was just funny and had most of the punchlines, and most normal flawed people can relate to the character.

The irony is that generations later audiences still enjoy the comedy portrayed by good natured "salt of the earth" niggas. Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, and Dave Chappelle are hugely popular because they used negative stereotypes as a form of self deprecating humor. Way more entertaining and memorable than the woke garbage spewed out by Kenya Barris or Jordan Peele. For crying out loud Black People love Tyler Perry's "Madea" which has been reasonably compared to the Black Minstrel shows of vaudeville.

Why am I sperging on the subject of Blacks in Comedy? Because "black empowerment" more or less is fucking insulting to black audiences. Disney is so terrified of how it portrays Black People now to the point that they simply can't give any of the Black Marvel Superheroes any real flaws in the movies. In my eyes it's straight up patronizing.

Of course we live in a clown world where a true total loser asshole like George Floyd is earnestly proclaimed a patron saint by liberals and mass media. So there clearly is enough people in the world who want this horseshit. I'm interested to see if anyone cares to remember the utterly one-dimensional Black Power fantasies besides the mythical infallible Barack Obama.

I dunno, I'm not bothered by a Black Man playing a role in something as heavily fictionalized as a musical. The clips I've heard of the Black Javert are straight up excellent musical performances. And James Earl Jones did excellent Shakespeare performances decades ago. When you go to a stage production there's no serious attempt at pretending that the actors are fully emulating reality. I wouldn't care if there was an all Filipino production of "Fiddler on the Roof" as long as they captured the message of the story and sung correctly.

It's when we get Black Men randomly popping up in "realistic" historical dramas that things get stupid. I would just start laughing if Julius Caesar was played by Wesley Snipes in the 2005 Rome TV Show. Totally different mediums but it bothered the shit out of me that the mass murdering bandit scumbags in Red Dead Redemption 2 would have a black guy (Lenny) in the outlaw gang and none of the games vile psychopaths wouldn't call him a nigger or simply treat him as a lesser being due to his skin color.

I'm not sure a black Javert is unrealistic even if it's played straight. Black men could become generals and politicians of stature in 18th/19th century France, and Javert is an impoverished thief who becomes a mayor. It's not in the source material but as far as race swaps go this wouldn't change much. Hamilton would never work with that cast if it isn't theatre (would a black Thomas Jefferson take heat for being a slaver and then go home to his black slaves...?) but on stage expectations are different. As long as PT stays in stage acting then they can do roles as either gender without much difficulty, but in film and TV dramas another level of realism is demanded.

The issue is, as you have identified, that the pandering and paternalistic view towards blacks, and black portrayals means that it's difficult to write fully fledged characters.

I remember when Force Awakened came out, with all the autistic back and forth over the black and female leads. Yet the people claiming it was pandering were right - Finn, played by in my opinion a talented actor, had an interesting backstory that was barely explored. He was a shock trooper trained to kill innocents without question, but instead of making him like Grayworm from GoT - emotionally stunted, loyal to a fault etc - or something, they just made him friendly. A waste. Rey was a Mary Sue, need I say more.

Both of those characters had potential, but the unwillingness to treat them as warts and all human beings just made them bland and boring. I feel for John Boyega who played Finn, he really had a raw deal of it imo.

Why is it all these top Breadtube people, decrying inequality, are all born with a fucking silver spoon in their mouths.

When you live a comfortable life with few hardships you're bound to invent some of your own.

 

[Mr Metron666]

Should we tell him MLK was a southern Baptist preacher and disliked any and all things LGBT.
“I am many things to many people but in the quiet recesses of my heart, I am fundamentally a clergyman, a Baptist preacher,” King said to a boy struggling with homosexual feelings in 1965
Dude even marched in a march to make "a constitutional amendment to define and preserve marriage as between one man and one woman....King and Long had carefully crafted the march....right near Dr. King’s childhood home "
(source)

It seems to be a common misconception that if a historical person was progressive in one area, it must mean they were progressive on all issues. Unfortunately, it isn't so. Like you said, MLK wanted racial equality, but was anti-LGBT. Lincoln wanted to end slavery of African americans but he didn't think they should live in the same society as whites (the same can be said of most abolitionists). Martin Luther was a refromist and against the corrupt church at the time, but was also an anti-semite and in general held a lot of beliefs that would be considered bigoted today. History (and real life in general) ain't black & white (no pun intended) and that's something that seems to be lost on most people, especially leftist social justice twats.

Why is it all these top Breadtube people, decrying inequality, are all born with a fucking silver spoon in their mouths.

Do you not know that it's mostly white-privileged men who harp on about white privilege & male privilege? It's purely a case of projection.

Not sure if this has been posted before but PT talks about his "army" experience here:

Did you enjoy high school?

Loathed it! In fairness I did make it harder on myself than it needed to be: I was a very angry kid, quick to flare up and resolutely opposed to giving anyone (including myself) an inch of slack. Misery loves company, so of course I joined the Army Cadets and spent five years terrorising anyone unfortunate enough to be put under my command. I joke, but "toxic masculinity" doesn't even begin to cover what I had in those teenage days.

We’ll talk about that in a bit! Why were you so angry, you think?

I'm not sure. Maybe it was something to do with being the youngest, or being picked on, maybe I wasn't really any angrier than any other teenage boy and just went into environments that drew it out, like cadets.

Did you want to kill people? Were you interested in the army because of politics?

There's so much more to a soldier's job than killing people, so truth be told I didn't really think about that bit too much during the phase when I thought I might join up, I was focused on the adventure and the challenge and the camaraderie aspects. Same with politics; at that stage I didn't think about it much.

Did you start thinking about what your alternative were, long-term?

Eventually I decided that, although I loved firing rifles and polishing boots, I couldn't stand being ordered around, so I crossed soldiering off the list. I didn't know then what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I knew I loved acting. I've been acting as long as I can remember in school plays and stuff. I can't remember a time when I wasn't doing it; I just love it. In school I wasn't sure how to ever go into it seriously, nobody from my school ever did, so it was a sort of vague dream.

The interview also has some info about his privileged background. For those who don't know, St Andrews it well known as being full of Oxbridge rejects from private high schools. Not surprisingly, PT is one of them. Interestingly, PT didn't even get the grades for St A originally, but had his paper remarked so he would. I doubt any state school kid would ever get that.

I'm not from the Newcastle area, but I used to talk to someone who worked in a state school fairly local to it and it sounded rough. However, Ollie gets £14k a year schooling, goes to one of the top universities in the UK - as an aside, my personal experience with students from St. Andrews is that about half of them are either toffs with salmon shorts or nonces, which fits Ollie to a T - and now gets payed probably millions to sit and decry how awful inequality is.

It's like a sick joke.

Yeah, that's why I'd imagine the reason is that most BreadTubers aren't like, super serious about socialism or communism or marxism and things like that. Yes, they'll pay it some lipservice here and there and be like "capitalism is bad because X", but I don't think they're going to seriously complain that much about the system that's personally given them so many unearned advantages in life. In an actual marxist revolution they'd be the ones who are put up against the wall pretty fucking quick.

Philosophy Tube literally said shes been trans for over a year, she just hasnt come out in public until now

And you believed that?

4chan runs a number of boards, one of them being /LGBT
unfortunately this board became less about any other group than trans people over time
so much so getting the nickname /tttt (trans trans trans trans)
it's known for calling everyone not really trans(like a form of trans hierarchy/AGP)
, diaper shit stuff and talking about wanting to fuck their dad

I wish there was an /lgb/ because holy shit calling it /tttt/ is no joke.

Not sure if this was posted yet.

I can't believe that this is worth so much to people. How the hell is some guy putting on a dress such a draw?

What is it with Marxists and being Trans? You go on twitter and all the crazy lefties on that site are trans.

Marxists go trans for the same reason they went Marxist. Chronic retardation. Genuine, unadulterated brainlessness. All the conceit and righteousness of an evangelical but without the brains to even recognize they're in a religion at all.

I understand the desire to say things like this, but construction sites aren't in the driver seat.

The fact that this disgusting mockery of biology now holds a high health related government position basically confirms to me that these next 4 years are going to somehow be worse than the last 4.

Transitioning is a treatment for gender dysphoria. Whether it's the right treatment or not is up to you, but gender dysphoria is definitely a problem that people experience and transitioning is A treatment for it.

Transitioning is a treatment for gender dysphoria like how lobotomy is a treatment for autism. It's overkill and if it were given as punishment rather than treatment it would be the face of a human rights crisis.

Why do jannies always complain about having to press their mouse twice to ban users

 

[Vaclav]

I understand your anger. I am with you, I promise. But the trans discourse is uniquely sinister because it is the perfect storm of identity politics. The state of "being trans" is so nebulous that anyone can claim it and nobody can contradict it without extreme repercussion. It is the perfect persecution scapegoat. Its a distraction that specifically puts the emphasis on the self to keep people divided and locked in permanent squabbles so they don't look up and unite against the real enemy.

If women want to fight back against this there's one method that's been discussed before... the circumgender strategy. What happens when a real woman says "I'm a trans woman"? With her new "trans" identity, she can argue the need to respect spaces for natal women, not pressure children into transition, etc. She doesn't even have to admit she's a natal woman, just say "yes I am a woman, a real woman, like any other trans woman is."

This forces trans activists into a corner; if they declare that she's not a trans woman on the basis of her views, she can ask what the criteria are for being "really trans," she can call them out for transphobia, etc. If they say natal women can't be trans women, she can ask how they know she's a natal woman, say how dare they attack her for passing, accuse them of reducing people to body parts, etc.

 

[Banditotron]

They do it for free, man. For free. Blocking transphobic chuds is the singlemost important job in the world and they're doing it for free.

 

[Francine StripeCheer]

That has got to be on the Horizon at least for the BBC.

They've been swapping black actors into historical costume dramas for the last 5 years (eg a black Javert in Les Miserables) they don't care that it makes it difficult to sell the shows in less woke markets. How long before they decide trannies as real women is the next thing.

It'll be so fucking funny when they do, I'm tempted to write to the BBC demanding it.

Javert is supposed to be a gypsy anyway, and his obsessive pursuit of crime is partially out of shame at his lowly background, so making him black doesn't exactly ruin the character

No theres nothing wrong with cadets, i had a lot of fun with it, but i never came out of it thinking i was some sharp shooter or someone with military training, even when i won a few awards. My CV does not include militarily training

 

[Existential MD]

do people actually care that much about a black actor being in historical *fiction*? Like, it doesn't matter in theater in this seems pretty close/is well known for the stage adaptation.

you know i have considered doing this, im not the feminine type (dont wear make up, dresses, heels, often found in baggy clothes) so it would add some more dimension to it. ''what do you mean im not a trans woman, why cant i identity as a trans woman? its how i feel
