It doesn't matter to a dangerously authoritarian left-wing mobs that Bob loves so much. Is Bob even aware that you cannot fight fire with fire and all this is going to achieve is either erosion of civil liberties or mass bloodshed?

No sacrifice is too great for the Superior Future.

No sacrifice is too great for the Superior Future.

The real mantra of all ideologues like Bob. It is folks like Bob who put massive trust in centralized government and big corporations is part of the reason why I am more of a left leaning-Libertarian. I honestly somewhat pity folks like Bob that put so much faith into something that will easily use or betray you just to spite a populace you don't like.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

Tl;dw: Bob asks why the Emoji movie is receiving hatred for being the Emoji movie. Argues that it's about hating on young people for being too attached to their phones.

A bit late, but here's the perfect counter-argument to why it was bad. I'd imagine hearing this would severely piss off Bob.

Yeah same as the one he did on Ghostbusters 2016 and the reason it sucked as well. Then again, HotDiggityDemon seems to actually want to have his simple words mean something than the assortment of words Bob uses to give the facade of depth.

Can't wait for Bob to inevitably write Max off as "just some shit YouTuber" instead of aspiring to improve his videos to at least be on the same level.

Jesus, he really is turning into Dobson with each passing day.

as much as I usually dislike HDD, can't really argue that I don't like his criticism here
I prefer when critics are constructive rather than negative or like those angry-reviewer assholes

Jesus, he really is turning into Dobson with each passing day.

and with each day Dobson's turning into Bob

A bit late, but here's the perfect counter-argument to why it was bad. I'd imagine hearing this would severely piss off Bob.

The part that really stuck out to me in this video was when HotDiggityDemon criticizes the movie reviewers for being destructive rather than constructive and goes on to say that if you want any authority in the subject of film you have to be constructive for even the most repugnant movies. That part in particular is one you can apply to Bob.

Bob is never constructive in his negative reviews; he always goes on the offensive, insulting everything the movie is and never saying what it should be. If he is constructive it's usually in the most backhanded way possible. Take his Amazing Spider-Man 2 review for instance where he says that it's better than the first but it also "broke" him and that if there was any Spider-Man memorabilia in the vicinity he would have destroyed it. Or hell, look at his opinions on Homecoming; rather than talk about how the movie could have been better he sucks off the Raimi trilogy and keeps comparing it to that when it's clear he's got an extreme bias towards it.

So I guess in more ways than one this is a perfect counter argument since it not only counters Bob's opinion on The Emoji Movie, it also points out why he has little to no authority when it comes to film criticism.

bob can point out the analogue is not the opposite of "technology" and if someone can't understand that how can you really be smart enough to be a critic.
(honestly though legos are still a technology, i stopped the video right there because that was the technological equivalent of "CHEMICALS = BAD THINGS")

let's face it, bob is not a critic. nothing that i have seen from him says he's critical, just insulting.

Plus how over-reliance on technology is a bad thing vs Bob's SUPERIOR FUTURE mindset.

 

[Kyria the Great]

Bob's only tool to criticize in a negative light is a hammer. I usually watch bad movies with how it could have possible been better or a not so good scene improved because I actually really love movies. I will say that Bob's fixes to movies is the only attempt at this but even in those films he comes across as aggressive with an ax to grind rather than someone trying to improve the art in the future.

 

[Mola Ram]

The major difference is that Bob is so obnoxiously egotistical that he never seems depressed ... or if he is, he never demonstrates it in a plea for sympathy. It's probably the one thing that makes him more bearable than Dobson, although his self-regard is so enormous it's hardly that much better.

Heh. "Bearable."

What struck me about this review, and what I think he encapsulated about why people like Bob defend this movie, is the part where he talks about the film presenting overreliance on technology as a positive. If you know anything about Bob, he refuses to see the potential downsides of humanity relying too much on technology, slandering anyone who does as "technophobes", and is a very shallow person who hangs on to superficial pop culture shit as part of his identity. To him, this film did nothing wrong by presenting that viewpoint, because to him, it's all part of the march toward the Superior FutureTm.

How long until Bob and Dobbo merge themselves into an unholy abomination?

He's definitely one of those people that are more concerned with 'If we could' than 'If we should' in regards to technology and our overreliance on them.

Do you think that we could get Bob to rail against environmentalists if they could somehow show that tech is bad for the environment? (the answer is it already is)

 

[Mola Ram]

No, because Bob is obsessed with appearing smart.

A lot of it is his reliance on big words and tortured sentence structure (which, as has been pointed out here before, is almost surely an artifact of how he wrote in secondary school), but even more of it is thinking the right things. It's probably the biggest factor in the acidity and fanaticism of his politics: everything he believes is the smart thing to do. All our useful, smart people congregate in cities; every useful, smart person rejects religion and superstition; every smart, useful person is in full-throated favor of the modern incarnations of feminism, gay rights, abortion rights, etc. etc. Environmentalism is what the smart set is in favor of, so of course Bob will be on board (just don't point out how the Kennedys stopped construction of a wind farm off Cape Cod because it would have spoiled their view).

There's a phrase for this sort of thinking: bien-pensant. It means thinking and believing the right things not because you've analyzed them, but because it's what your desired peer group believes. It's why he dismisses every conservative as stupid, even though there are legions of conservatives who are several orders of magnitude more intelligent than he is. Some of them are even right here on the Farms.

Well he also fails to recognize that many groups of thought aren't simply a monolithic movement where everyone agrees on. His failing to discern between the various different sub-schools of thought within a school of thought really damages any credibility he has to effectively criticize a group. Like for example, if you are talking about Libertarians, are you talking about the folks who are more socially liberal but believe that the market generally is more effective outside of critical services or the crazy An-Caps whose delusions about virtually no government would fuck everyone?

In within his support of Feminism, there is alot of different schools of thought where you have sensible moderate Feminists like Kristina Hoff Summers who just wants to fix gender issues for both genders to the crazy TERFS who are so anti-man they will even hate the all-beloved troons the most. Bob also fails to realize that smart people and art cannot survive without the resources to keep them going and that comes from those dirty towns and farms he hates so much.

Not only that, but he will go through extensive mental gymnastics to justify any action by his favored politicians. I still love his claim that Hillary opposing gay marriage was part of a brilliant plan to trick bigots and couldn't possibly be because she has no principles and just does anything for votes.

The only aspect of the environment he gives a shit about is moon wheat and trying to convert everyone he disagrees with into fuel/Soylent Green.

I'm certain that he would start the next great neoliberal civil war if he chimps out over that.
