The craziest thing is that I've been following his channel for two years and only now has he unleashed this insane content on us. Prior to this he was a comfort-watch as he'd just record himself playing Geoguesser. A startling evolution! I guess all that virtual globetrotting inspired him...

try as I might I can't make heads or tails of this Contrapoints "cancellation"
― Simon H., Saturday, 7 September 2019 05:21 (five years ago) link
Is she canceled though?
She quit twitter, right? But she got as much support as criticism. Its hard to see her really losing subscribers on this? I don't quite now how to judge but a high profile person is always going to come under attack, and from all directions. If some people were unhappy with her I think thats generally ok if thats their take
― anvil, Saturday, 7 September 2019 06:02 (five years ago) link
Its tangentially related but I was thinking about the concepts of "the left eats their own" vs "why are there no left wing grifters", and whether 'cancellation culture' is actually that bad.
Right wing media tends to be more personality driven, so cancellation doesn't really happen, and leftist media tends to be more issue driven, so taking a position on an issue can be more divisive. (but then the right has fractious splits, PJW vs Shapiro, but then seems personality led fallout)
― anvil, Saturday, 7 September 2019 06:10 (five years ago) link
I just can't even tell what the actual controversy was, by the time I heard about it she was off twitter
― Simon H., Saturday, 7 September 2019 06:17 (five years ago) link
I guess I could trawl through her mentions to figure it out but I'd really really rather not
oh, basically she said in 'hyperwoke' spaces everyone is giving their pronouns (leading to bizarre situation where an entirely cis group is doing this, and then Natalie has to do it and then situation where a passing trans has to explain when they might just like to be accepted)
and then she can go into a sports bar in NC and no one gaf, no one misgenders her, and she's called ma'am and miss all night
backlash being, well great for you who can pass
― anvil, Saturday, 7 September 2019 06:21 (five years ago) link
I might sorta have that wrong, could be deeper about the concept of 'passing', and that some non-binary people resented the possible implication that pronoun announcing is bad (or merely irritating to Natalie?)
― anvil, Saturday, 7 September 2019 06:26 (five years ago) link
it isn't the first time that she has kinda said stuff that made nb folks say "hey but uhhhhhhh" and i think the most recent super personal "if not for nb ppl i'd have an easier time" admission kinda made a whole bunch of people say "ok can we stop deifying this person" and she never signed on to be deified in the first place and other ppl took the opportunity to say she's been a lib the whole time and it's a real mess and a bunch of well-meaning people have been hurt by words of other well-meaning people

Similar to StanM's post, this guy films lots of rural Japan in 4K with no music or dumb graphics. I cannot get enough of wandering through temples, tea houses or little backstreets, he even crossfades the sound for headphone listeners.

it would take a long time to explain and i'm not sure it's worth it (am coming to the conclusion that the nature of youtube is such that one cannot be a not-terrible youtuber, at least not while talking about politics/subscribing to "influencer" culture), but in lieu of an actually considered response, i'll just say "buck angel" and leave it at that
