Speedflying Looks Batshit Crazy

Battlefield 1 Official Single Player Trailer

Mate Vs Mate Prank War Escalates Quickly

The New Wave of YouTube "Skeptics"

I don't really care what his fans said on Twitter or anywhere else for that matter. Unless he explicitly instructed them to go out and harass somebody you can't realistically hold him responsible for the actions of others.

1:1 example? Were we even reading the same article? The bulk of the article describes how the Baphomet board on 8chan used publicly available information, possibly gleaned from thunderf00t's video, or perhaps not, to target Jennifer Keller and her business. The folks over at Baphomet were really just doing this for their own amusement, here's a quote from the article.

" I'll save the trouble that I'm a bit of a thunderfag and while I understand he's a cucked shithole obsessed with Anita Scamkeesian, the fact they will get him fired merely on the base of their hurt feelings kind of ticked me off. "

I should also take a moment to point out that Jennifer Keller aka 'Laughing Witch' on YouTube along with others engaged in a letter writing campaign to try and get Phil Mason 'thunderf00t' fired from his job. Now I don't know about you, but I would call that harassment. I find that kind of behavior unacceptable no matter which side you are on. But there she was, down in the trenches slinging shit right along side the other trolls and misanthropes.

As for specious arguments, the focus on minor details and painting whole groups of people with a broad brush, Sarkeesian and company do all of these things. Sarkeesian criticizes an industry and thunderf00t attacks her criticisms and questions her rationale. But supporters will try to draw attention away from his arguments by calling it an attack on her.

You want to hold thunderf00t responsible for the actions of trolls and MRA wack-jobs, but are you willing to hold Sarkeesian responsible for the actions of feminism's lunatic fringe?

Then you haven't encountered any of his fans on twitter.

And he is pretty much the largest and most 1:1 example the above video is referencing: He uses specious arguments, focuses on minor details or extreme examples to paint with a massive brush, and generally is more vitriol than skepticism.

And the difference between Sarkeesian making videos critiquing and thunderf00t is myriad: Sarkeesian focuses on depictions and media, thunderf00t focuses on indviduals and a very amorphous idea of "feminism" with videos like "Why feminism is poisoning atheism", "Why 'feminism' poisons EVERYTHING", all pretty much completely obsessed with Sarkeesian and Rebecca Watson.

That's not skepticism.. that's a creepy personal vendetta.

The other major difference are their fans. I don't recall Sarkeesian ever taking out a personal vendetta against a random person and suggesting her fans bombard their business on Yelp with bad reviews and then people on the doxxing boards of 8chan joined in the online attacks.

I mean, it's not quite as simple as "one person makes videos critiquing, another makes videos critiquing". But I feel like you probably already knew that.

I hope they have some sort of plan in place to prevent every battle devolving into each team consisting entirely of snipers camping out in their trench and taking pot shots at each other.

This would also be a good time for them to finally put some AI bots back into their online play. They'd almost have to. I'm pretty sure their programmers could implement human wave attack AI without too much trouble.

I'm kinda hoping gameplay involves sitting in a trench dispersing acerbic wit and insulting the idiots that surround you while concocting increasingly cunning plans to avoid such a fate....

So gameplay involves charging across no man's land and dying repeatedly to artillery and machinegun fire?

2 Ways For A Tank To Cross A Trench

The Hole in the Ocean

nanrod says...

The thumbnail and the title are totally misleading. I thought this video would be about blue holes like the one in Belize. Instead it's about plate tectonics and the Marianas Trench.

The Hole in the Ocean

ghark says...

yea I was a bit confused when they started talking about the Marianas trench. Good vid though, very informative. The part where they showed how we know about the earths polarity flipping every few hundred thousand years was really amazing.
