Who the fuck even are these people? The only one I recognize is Armored Skeptic. This guy has been around for a year and I have no idea who he is.I...I don't get this is this supposed to be comedy? I mean it's listed as entertainment but It's not entertaining
Ranting monkey: pretty much just responds to she's nothing interesting like an American tl;DrWho the fuck even are these people? The only one I recognize is Armored Skeptic. This guy has been around for a year and I have no idea who he is.
The Amazing Atheist & Thunderf00t are good places to start but they were never explicitly part of the skeptic community when it first started, but rather, they preceded it. I don't know who the first is but Armoured Skeptic might be the one.
There is not such thing as a "skeptic community" this people have no ideas nor interests in common
A thing i've noticed a lot is many of those channels forcing the kekistan meme down everyone's throats, anyone know why or is it just a fad?and is it just me or when they try to be funny it comes off as really cringy

So from what I've gathered apparently the "skeptic community" on Youtube basically refers to critics of feminism / social justice, or pro "alt-right". Brexit, etc.
Used to be that whenever you heard "skeptic" it referred to a euphoric atheist criticizing religion; so out of curiosity when did "skeptic" start to refer to people like Sargon who criticize feminism and social justice?
Seriously both the alt right/conservatives and leftists/SJWs are becoming memes in and of themselves at this point.
When they started doing it.

It seems to have been a slow boil thing, Ultimatly not believing in God is a pretty shallow foundation for a ideology since it's one single stance. Lots of people involved had other beliefs which went into political ideaology which is ultimatly, subjective. Elavatorate (I hate that term) where Rebecca whatson claimed to have been harrased when more realistically somebody clumsily flirted with her in a lift (if it happened at all) at one of their faggy conferances is where the ball got rolling. both sides then chimed in when it was at best something to report to conferance security and in the shit show that followed the dumber members of the SJW types tried to fuse rational thinking with abstract philosophy in the form of Atheism+. The intial surge of femminist and social justice criticism was the community trying to defend itself from Attempts to politisize Atheist communities unfortunatly this encouraged the community to split in two. Mostly the pathetic broken SJW facets who now skulk around Rational wiki blogs and the 'skeptics' who reap a great deal of attention from the ease of shitting on buzzfeed, which ensures that 14 year old hate femminism even if they don't know shit about politics. Good news for theists however since US atheism as an organized movement is fucking dead in the water.
You'll notice this has very little to do with God or the nature of reality. Personally I've alway found the idea that God's (or even which God's) existance has anything to do with issues of gender, economics or political theory. Outside of Odin descending from high to fill us in anyway.
Part of the problem is that anti-theism has historically been associated with the secular Humanist ideology which most of the New Atheists shared, and to some degree or another has always been intertwined with social justice and progressive politics, since it basically originated with Auguste Comte after the French Revolution, and was influenced by John Stuart Mill's Utilitarian philosophy, along with touches of Marxism influencing the more radical social justice and egalitarian trains of thought.You'll notice this has very little to do with God or the nature of reality.

Seriously in the Kathy Griffin video alone you could hold a drinking game where you drink every time he insults someone to help anchor his argument down.
fuse rational thinking with abstract philosophy
Even better, make a video that cuts out every instance of him criticizing their looks and see what arguments remain and how much was shaven from the video length.
I'm gonna have an "explain like i'm five" moment and ask how to download videos from youtube; I'm not great with technology despite growing up with it.
Even though I'm shit with figuring out how technology works, i really want to do that.
