General GunTuber thread

[UVB-76]

Honestly, I've seen so much drama unfold in internet communities and how certain people will fall from grace as they make their followers feel betrayed, that I've never considered that there's a lot of people who have never been exposed and hardened against the pitfalls of parasocial relationships.
The whole "we have a patreon-exclusive discord server" shit has straight up devolved into paying to have friends. It's eerily similar to the simp and e-thot situation but because it's not sexual nobody really talks about it. Even if 90% of a community is well adjusted it's really easy for the 10% of the terminally online to become goons and climb the ranks until they become community mods.

While doing research for the Ben Cannon stuff I came across the threads where he was doing victory laps for his case being dismissed thanks to phone and credit card records pulled out of thin air, even though his car and mug matched the description and the cops found red light strobes and handcuffs in his car. It's amazing how people uncritically accepted his explanation that the equipment was needed for his engineering job. And that was just some guy pretending to be living the CEO life in online forums.

There's no point in getting emotionally invested in online celebrities, all we can do is sit back and laugh when they become cows. Nutnfancy will be our DSP.

There is no point in getting emotionally invested in someone you can't actually talk to in general. I think the coof restrictions have been around long enough that a lot of people who already weren't quite there to begin with are completely losing the meaning of "social interaction".

Remember, kids: 3D people beat pixels on a screen any day of the week.

what's "people"? you're just mad all my friends make millions on patreon.

Someone posted a video of Nutnfancy's kid being a sperg like his old man, and that shouldn't be surprising considering the hints towards his upbringing(besides just being Nutn's kid).

Fuck you. My 2D waifu is far superior to any of your 3D bio-cunts.

That kid looks and sounds like McLovin

I don’t understand the emotional investment people have in the e-celebs they follow. I find the parasocial relationships people form disturbing. If you’re watching for the person and not the subject matter that is inherently a problem. Maybe you like someone’s presentation style better, fine that makes sense. But don’t get attached to the presenter themselves.

The patreon model perhaps contributes to this in that people feel they are supporting a person rather than supporting their work or paying for a service.

I support Flashgitz on patreon. Their videos are funny as fuck. I don’t really give a shit about the artists themselves or their personal lives. I’ve supported the 3 Gun Show before because I like the information. I don’t care about Dave Hartman’s personal life. In fact when these people talk about their personal lives at all I find it off putting.

Here's the armorer that thought having live rounds on a movie set was a cool idea.

How appropriate, the Cosmic Corpse is responsible for the creation of one (possibly two) corpses.

If that was the armorer on set I'd 360 and moonwalk away.

The emancipated woman and its consequences have been a disaster for the Human Race.

I never was “attached” to Karl as a person. Me being upset at him being a jerk was because I wasted time listening to what he has to say for a long time. I didn’t necessarily feel “betrayed” because I never supported him due to InRange being purposely demonetized by Karl.

I stopped getting attached to internet people a long time ago with James Rolfe.

 

[Archie_Kimkicker]

I would love to see a feud between crypto-ancoms like Karl and corpo neolibs like Moviebob.

It's a tale as old as prostitution - some people pay for the sense of companionship rather than the intended service.

I actually struggle to imagine that. There's people watching people online not for the stuff they do, but entirely for them as a person? I can see taking a liking to someone's personality, but they're not a friend, they're a performer, a showman.

LMAO, that's what fucking happened? You'd think the studios would be paranoid as fuck about that after Brandon Lee.

Yech. Guess the guy didn't actually raise his daughter much.

Next on InRange: Harpoon Guns

Can you find one thing they legitimately disagree about? Bob and Karl both seem quite cynical and willing to ignore their stated principles for a quick "own" on people they dislike.

Easy: Karl is perfectly fine going outside.

Ever since he became a Branch Covidian and got coof madness he's started looking pretty obese and sweaty. Are we sure he goes outside anymore?

I think a lot people see themselves (or who'd they like to be) in YouTube stars, because they're far more accessible & personable than normal media personalities, and they live vicariously through their favorite (or most hated) creators' successes (or failures); all of it pushed & streamed in their daily feeds. Many of them lived the same types of lives prior to finding YouTube success, so there's another connection. Not everyone can see themselves mirrored in the movies or TV, but chances are pretty good they can find someone who does on YouTube now.

It's something that's always existed for entertainers, but there's just not the same layers of separation that used to exist between entertainment & real-life.

Very much so; the furry/cosplay/art-commission communities are the example of how skewed people get when they're really invested, publicly and privately.

Good leads. I'm surprised the almighty algorithms haven't already made those suggestions, it's definitely been slacking lately.

She was an unqualified scab, simple as. Baldwin literally got what they paid for; someone who had magically picked up all their skills by osmosis, which seems to be a big trend in her demographic & industry.
