These people are all autistic. They frame everything as us vs them, like sports. Clearly if you don't like me you're an evil Nazi Trump supporting bigot!

I voted for Bernie in the primaries then Hillary.

I voted for Hillary too, and made no secret of it. I stopped counting the number of times I was was nevertheless labelled "alt-right" because I don't give her bullshit a pass.

 

[Sissy Galvez]

It would be surprising to see VB gain some self-awareness but I'm not holding my breath. These types go protected then come back more angry at those darn alt-right goober gobblers.

hey y'all its me voidburger here, just chiming in to tell everyone that I am being very quiet and on the down low. didn't hear me, ok, let me repeat that so you can know how low a profile i'm hangin!!

Slowbeef just made a two hour long video mocking DarksydePhil:

I'm not very familiar with DSP (I'm aware he's a serial liar that masturbates on streams and uploads a bazillion shitty LPs) and I only watched a few minutes in total of Slowbeef's video (skipping through it ten minutes at a time) but it seems pretty autistic to make a two hour long video about DSP where he's essentially acting out DSP fanfiction.

I wonder whether this will be well-received and go viral, unlike the Mighty Number 9 "Internet Psychiatrist" video he made forever ago which just made him look like a spaz.

This isn't autistic at all.

Slowbeef thinks he's way, WAY more funny, relevant, and insightful than he actually is.

I know it's supposed to be ironic and youre mocking what Darkside Phil does, but at some point sticking your head in the toilet bowl stops being an ironic satire of how stupid OTHER people are, and just becomes you rubbing shit on your own face.

Like you could just make a 10 minute video saying you think it's stupid that he's a fucking moron and can't make a vlog that runs for less than half an hour of him begging and not listening to chat. You dont have to spend 2 hours to make a "satirical critique".

At least when Darkside Phil does it it's KINDA funny because he's genuinely such a fucking idiot.

RPs sucked as soon as they went longer than 10 minutes. I've been pretty open about this, I think I even said it to slowbeef once. Youtube's old video limit was a blessing in disguise, because it forced you to take no longer than 10 minutes to get to the fucking point. There's nothing so bad about a video that it needs more than 10 minutes worth of discussion.

There's very few people in this world I could spend 2 hours talking about. Maybe Donald Trump and Chris Avellone (for wholely different reasons).

Fair enough, to each their own.

He actually already did (he made a video where he played Klax and ripped on DSP). I guess that wasn't enough for him. Slowbeef has been talking about DSP for years, I think that's he's letting out frustration that's been building for a long time.

 

[Alberto Balsalm]

Remember this?

This was good. Funny, concise, and to the point. Possibly one of my favorite RP videos, even.

Why couldn't it just be left at that? Why would you need to devote two goddamn hours to the same joke, two years after the fact?

From other stuff posted here, slowbeef went on and on about making fun of Phil. DSP is still unarguably worse but SB comes off just as autistic by making a 2hr video.

Well, if you look at all their Kickstarter videos posted in the last few months, very few go past 10-15 minutes. Heck most are sub 10 minutes. Even their one actual game RP, Psychic Detective, was on the shorter side, around 15 to 21 minutes mostly.

But the thing is, these videos are on the Retsupurae channel. Whereas slowbeef's shitty longform videos, streams and so on, all go on his own channel. Like you've said multiple times, solo slowbeef is just not very good, probably because of a lack of restrictions and no one to play off of. But RP videos have a script, a point, and limited content that you have to immediately riff off of, which kept them short.

Also, I tend to notice the audience for Retsupurae and solo videos don't overlap so much. That crazy rant by PE up there would probably be met with actual resistance in the Retsupurae channel comments (as seen with DaveO), but would get a dicksucking and dogpiling of any dissent on slowbeef's channel.

That conversation was shut down by Mr. Fedule, who didn't like that topic I guess.

"Oh my god did I fucking stutter?

Reminder that both current LP mods, Fedule and Geop, are VB's close personal friends and "coworkers" at NoGoblin. It doesn't actually matter if it's on topic, Fedule won't allow discussion of his friend the cow. And we've seen how much of a coolaid drinker he is, right up to locking down the LP Discord and referring to fucking Crash Override Network for "harassment". People getting scammed by Quinn in real time is hilarious.
Although looking at the post you quoted... I see someone dared to actively disparage Quinn and Sarkeesian and didn't get probated or banned. Although they did get dogpiled:

Sarkeesian took an opportunity to discuss problems with the portrayal of women in video games and it made babies shit their diapers.

Quinn was the victim of a smear campaign by a jealous ex-boyfriend.

How do you manage to interpret reality so far backwards you make the abuser the victim?

Checking for mentions of VoidBurger on Twitter returns a few responses to her private tweets:

I'm genuinely curious - not even in a demeaning way - how someone could dislike Lena Dunham & Anita Sarkeesian but like Void. They all share the same basic behavior.

Completely sound advice.

1. To me, "stalking" carries a connotation of invading privacy. We've been almost entirely mocking her public posts, so "gang-stalking" is hyperbole, plain and simple.
2. This guy is pretty damn :late:, jeez.

And finally, a tweet that I'm assuming she replied to (because nothing says laying low like tweeting from behind a thin veneer of privacy!):

This is the image they're mocking:

It just dawned on me how they're taking screencaps of tweets of other people and mocking them (i.e. exactly what we're doing), and I don't see anyone accusing them of gang-stalking JonTron.

If I didn't know better I'd swear this was a quasi-stealth jab. I figured speaking ill of those two would be verboten.

I'd love to hear one of these knobs try to explain the difference.

Slowbeef just made a two hour long video mocking DarksydePhil:

What is it with this shit of hours long videos for some schtick worth five minutes at most?

Perfect example of DSP's detractors being even more autistic than he is.

This was good. Funny, concise, and to the point. Possibly one of my favorite RP videos, even.

:autism:

The funniest part of that was "WHY IS THERE A BOAT HERE?"

 

[DuckSucker]

Nah dude, he was "ironically" begging for bits for two hours.

You plebs just dont get high brow humor, I guess.

 

[Terror Rism]

they support trump so they're rapists and nazis
and nothing wins an argument like calling your opponent a rapistnazi

Why, if I didn't know better, I'd say Mr. Michael Sawyer is a good old child abuser using his kids like that! Why, he's no different from that Rich Kyanka guy!

 

[Sissy Galvez]

Ahh you see everyone that makes fun of you is a Nazi virgin misogynist!!

The classic attack from the 'woke socialists' that tweet all day whole playing video games and watching anime.

Mocking jontron for making rational posts isn't stalking because they're "punching up". I.e. atacking someone who has way more popularity and viewers and 'privilege' in their broken brains.

 

[TiggerNits]

While i still think streaming is stupid, I do respect Jon and Pewdiepie for being assholes to these fuckheads trying to shout them down from below

 

[Sissy Galvez]

I respect the fact they're just making fair statements and the SJW crowd tries to skewer them.

Really shows how petty and jealous they are of people with actual success.
