@LeDroppedFry @_tommy_jay_1776 @chosenone997066 @downbadcomment Your hospitals put you in debt, your education puts you in debt, your government is trillions in debt, corporations own you by the leash and there's zero upside to living in any other western nation. The only freedom I see is the freedom to be poor and miserable.

@_tommy_jay_1776 @chosenone997066 @downbadcomment Setting aside any ethical reasons, you might be genuinely brain-dead if you don't see the political and strategic necessity of stopping one of America's rivals from conquering an increasingly West aligned neighbouring nation intent on NATO and EU membership.

@_tommy_jay_1776 @chosenone997066 @downbadcomment Are you under the illusion that capitalism doesn't rely on the assumption of unlimited resources and infinite growth being possible?

@wweirderguy @Topunito @_TheSmartAlec1 His mother's very proud!

[Sofxol @sofxol]

@Topunito @_TheSmartAlec1 His media takes suck but pretty much anything he's made that covers real issues is fantastic and the worst people have on him is bad media takes and drama old enough to drink and drive.

[Sofxol @sofxol]

@Topunito @_TheSmartAlec1 I saw some semi big account on here try and say that Hbomb's vids on Tallarico and Somerton were disproportional and trying to kiwifarms lolcow them, and like. What? He made videos about serial plagiarists committing genuine harm to people's careers, how is that disproportional?

[Sofxol @sofxol]

@_TheSmartAlec1 Hbomb's terrible opinions on fictional media weirdly makes me trust him more. I mean if someone's brave enough to put out that nightmare of a Dark Souls 2 or Penny Arcade video then they're clearly someone who aren't just saying things as a grift or parroting other people.

Can you really be fighting the system by complaining about noise to the EPA while dumping raw sewage off your property?

[Sofxol @sofxol]

Your casual reminder that the average person is incapable of writing something better than even the most mediocre piece of art. The worst movie you saw probably takes more skill than most of its critics possess.

-Narrative should pick up with Anakin at 18 or 19, not 8 or 9.
-He’s really Owen’s brother
-he’s not a ‘slave’ they’re just a simple moisture farm family
-No ‘immaculate conception’ nonsense
-No ‘chosen one’ ‘prophecy’
-he’s just a hotshot boonie pilot kid who dreams of making it, joins up as a Republic pilot, then when he gets to Coruscant or whatever more central planet starts to learn the Force/Jedi stuff, rises quickly
-The Jedi are shown as functional, noble, and martial. They don’t just do ambassador stuff about trade disputes. They’re knights. They don’t all wear desert robes!
-Darth Vader is a different guy, same age. A Jedi. Obi-Wan’s trainee. ‘Darth’ isn’t a title that’s his name. (I know, I’m fixing Eps 5/6 now)
-The whole reason Anakin (“Kin” for short, they call him, not “Ani”) leaves Tattooine is he’s an idealist (like we were told!), who wants to fight the
-clone threat! The clones/cloners are the bad guys of course (not cartoon proto-stormtroopers fighting alongside Jedi). The ‘clone wars’ were something like a Butlerian Jihad against cloning tech, which the Big Baddie was leveraging to take over planets.

Ok sorry now I’m changing stuff about Episode II. Well I could keep going, I got a lotta changes

I mean, SURE. We have tons of partial, near-complete, and some complete skeletons, we have an iridium anomaly and a crater for the meteor you say has flimsy evidence, plenty of real bones are visible in museums and tons of scientists work on the bones in collections, but whatevs.

@heavenlyangelu @ranmasaotome96 I don't even think Dan is above criticism, I like his content but I think his criticism can veer into too much adhom and he can be abrasive and brash, but like, the AVGN video is one of his most inoffensive, most emotionally honest ones. No idea why people hate it the most.

[Sofxol @sofxol]

@boogietothemax @ranmasaotome96 But why is making the video in itself an issue? Did he say something deeply offensive? Commit some social sin? Why are we treating a guy making a video talking about how he doesn't like something like a big deal?

[Sofxol @sofxol]

@Lanternfsh @ranmasaotome96 There's something so funny about people giving weird, frustrated shallow criticisms about the video, the video which is a deconstruction of Dan's weird, frustrated shallow criticisms of the AVGN and how they're misdirected frustrations at himself and his insecurities.

[Sofxol @sofxol]

@boogietothemax @ranmasaotome96 Okay...? Like I still don't see what's wrong with that.

[Sofxol @sofxol]

@ranmasaotome96 It's weird how much hate the video gets for being an emotionally honest rumination on Olson's self admitted, strange, near obsessive frustration with Rolfe's work and the knowledge that he's wrong to feel that way. It's not a critique of Rolfe, it's a critique of Olson.
